'Paul Revere'
Warns Not to
Hoard Goods
PORTLAND, Me, Aug. 13 -(ff)
A modern Paul Revere rode on
horseback through Portland
streets today and cried out s
1950 warning: "Hoarding I helps
communism." f - . , :
Garbed in ' the uniform of
Revolutionary "Minute Man," the
rider urged housewives and oth-
ers to attend a Sunday night
Municipal stadium mass meeting
which will open a. "war against
hoarding here.
- As he rode, lie distributed pam
phlets. They carried the anti
hoarding message of the "Home
Defenders of Freedom, a group
of Portland business and civic
leaders who will sponsor the
'week-long campaign, .
Object of the drive Is to collect
- signed cards on which Greater
Portland's 100,000 Inhabitants will
pledge themselves to confine their
purchases to immediate needs.
Pledge signers will be awarded
buttons and stickers for windows
and cars. . . :; -
The plan has won commenda
tion from leaders of politics, busi
ness and labor. The committee
said today it is being bombarded
with requests for further infor
mation from -business and civic
groups throughout the nation. ,
i Latest to endorse the idea was
W. Stuart Symington, chairman of
the national securities resources
'board.
; In a telegram to sponsors, Sym
ington said today: t
I "Yeur community .effort " to
-combat hoarding -deserves .the
highest commendation . .
National, state and local lead
ers will address tomorrow night's
mass meeting, which will be pre-
' ceded by a colorful parade honor

.Heidt Is proving that America
Is rich in stage talent and Inaiyia
u&Uy each of the performers, who
appeared Saturday nigm, couia
take featured spots in entertain
ment places anywhere. Heidt, who
is known as one of the country's
greatest showmen, certainly prov
ed that with his show Saturday.
He directs his orchestra, artists
and choruses from nearly every
Dart of the stage, even taking time
during a number to go down In
front for a few minutes to get the
audience's reaction.
Show Never Drags
Perhaps, the main success of his
show is that it never drags,, not
even an intermission. Just a second
to stand up between acts. The cos
tumes and lighting effects were
good and the orchestra members
in snappy, red outfits made a grand
background for the performers.
Among those appearing on the
musical variety show were the
ever popular Ralph Sigwald, who
sang "The Lord's Prayer," which
has made him famous all over the
country; the singing sensations of
America. The Pepperettes: five
year did Ernie Camerola; Bea Jay,
singer; Wayne and Gilbert Shep
ard, who play the Swiss bells;
Jesse Owens, bar! ton: Richard
Melari, impressionist: Pierce
Knox, blind marimba player;
J err Singer, who lost one leg dur
ing the war. tap dancer; and his
most recent discovery, a beauti
ful blonde Hungarian singer. The
audience enjoyed the show right
along with the performers ap
plausing -, from first fanfare to
finale, greeting each act enthusi
astically.

Korean Losses
May Speed Up
Mobilization
WASHINGTON, Aug. & - UP)
New successes by the Korean red
army may compel a revision in
American mobilization " plans to
bring more combat-ready troops
into action faster.
High military planners have
been talking recently of the prob
ability that it would be late fall
or early winter before additional
national guard units could be
brought into federal service un
der the present mobilisation plan.
They explained that facilities of
the regular army are limited and
that men must be trained to bring
up to wartime strength the four
guard divisions already selected.
But that was before it began to
appear the last water barrier on
the perimeter of the' South Kore
an defense line might not be held
and that still more desperate
fighting might have to be done
in mountain positions closer to the
key port of Pusan. ;
At the Pentagon today, spokes
men still maintained, emphatic
ally, that the South Korean
beachhead would be held until
the time when a build-up of
strength would allow a break-out
and the beginning: of a counter-
offensive.
May Not Be Final Line
But they did not insist that the
Naktong river line was the final
position.
Nor did anyone want to remem
ber tne declaration a week ago
by Lt Gen. Walton Walker, 8th
army commander, that the line
then (some miles farther out than
today) was where the stand would
be made, that not another inch of
ground would be given.
Estimate of the time it will
take to fget the four National
Guard divisions filled out to full
manpower strength and ready for
duty in the far east range up to
several months. But in the mean
time the requirements for defense
of the Korean beachhead are
mounting.
Killed and wounded must be
replaced. The numbers of Amer
ican troops missing in action
(which means they have been cut
off and captured) has been in
creasing. Need Ground Ferees
The need now is for more new
units of ground forces, for indi-

HOLLYWOOD Saul Gorss,
who ought to know, says movie
stunt work is becoming less bru
tal. A few years ago a man
might be shown having his face
pounded against a rode (it was
only rubber) or getting a kick
in the face. Protests from wo
men's clubs and other organiza
tions put a stop to such vivid
viciousness, Saul says., Now the
close-up shows only the poor
guy's facial reaction to a blow
to the midsection. A kick in the
ribs is only implied (though just
as painful to watch, a lot of us
will say). -I

expansion of the army.
The government started out by
"inviting", reservists to enter
active duty. Yesterday it moved
definitely beyond this by an
nouncing a call-up of 62,000 en
listed reservists "with or without
their consent."
In the national guard field the
government began by ordering
only sub-division units into fed

decided to call up whole divisions.
Another step expected to be
taken soon is the call in of com

inductions also increases.

The attractions in the work are
the money and the long periods
off, sometimes several weeks
between jobs. "It takes precision
and timing," he said, "and plays
on your ego to do a job to per
fection without getting hurt"
Saul has never been serious

$1300 in one day, doing six falls

wore a steel breastplate covered
with balsa wood under his cos
tume. His thought as a human
target was, "This poor so-and-so
(Hill). If he kills me hell
have it on his mind for the rest
of his life."
Gorss has fallen 22 feet out
of windows . (you land on card
board cartons covered with mat
