X Mexican Crooner 'Stops' Show But Is Bewildered By VIRGINIA MacFHERSON Hollywood, Sept. 21 U.n Paco, the Mexican crooner who hitch hiked here from Mexico City two years ago, probably doesn't even know what "the (how must go on" means. But those five words made him star last week. Paco doesn't speak Eengleesh very good. But he sings fine. And that i all the customers at' Wilbur Clark's Desert Inn cared about when he stepped in on 25 minutes notice and stopped the show. It was the kind of a thing you see all the time in- technicolor musicals. But it hardly ever happens in real life. Visitor Is Welcomed Archduke Stefan of Austria, a stu dent at Malvern, Pa., prep school, meets some of the players on the "American In Paris" set during visit to Hollywood. 7i Daring Scouting Party Swim :j Han River; Escape Under Fire 13 By RUSSELL BRINES Ur..f.nl Cn Of OH A Jn.:nrt 14-ai a-nAiitlnrf 1; ocuui it si Hunt, uutca, cpi. x " uoi 1115 11-iiiau ovuuhub fi party swam the Han river the other night and escaped under ji lire xrom enirencnea norm Koreans. -j A lie siuiy was lum ivuny uy -i . a. novj .bilsigii u uuan jin, Siegal of 4228 Parkside Ave., Philadelphia, a navy combat radio man. Siegal volunteered for the pa trol that swam the 500-yard wide river eight miles northwest of Seoul under a quarter moon around 10 p.m. (8 a.m. EST., Tuesday). The patrol returned with two wounded after a harrowing, dan gerous swim through heavy ma chine, rifle and mortar fire loosed when 200 Reds discovered them. Siegal said: "I am the luckiest man alive today." He returned to a navy flag ship in borrowed clothes and without the sound recorder he had carried for interviews with the patrol party. Capt. Kenneth Houghton of San Francisco led the patrol through darkness and the thick, six-foot high canefields on the river bank. The men plodded for a mile, carrying heavy rubber rafts and a minimum of equipment, ready to swim the river and explore the north bank, Siegal was able to make the trip only after con vincing a general that he was an expert swimmer. "It took us about 45 minutes to swim across the river against the heavy current," Siegal said "When we were about 20 yards off the north shore we saw a couple of people on the horizon. TSgt Ernest DeFacio of Athol, Mass., and Cpl. James E. An derson of Honolulu swam ahead and captured them." Siegal said' "they turned out to be Korean civilians who said they were coming from Seoul because they thought there would be fighting in Seoul Soon a group of amphibious tractors began crossing the river from the south bank in advance of the main marine crossing. "When they were about 20 yards off the North Koreans opened up with heavy machine- gun and rifle fire," Siegal went on. "The tractors turned back The Koreans yelled banzai and turned the fire on us. Siegal said the Red fire got hotter against the handful of Americans hugging the river bank. As the men slipped into the warm water, most of them naked. Red fire followed. "You could ' see the splashes all around you from the ma chineguns and rifles," Siegal said. "They opened up with mortars and one shell fell about 20 feet from the men. "I kept swimming until reached the current, then drift ed downstream with it. I was scared plenty scared. "I had to leave my recorder and most of my clothes, includ ing my size 14 shoes which are hard to get. But I saved my camera. The ensign reached the south bank and wallowed in knee deep mud. With Sgt. Pete Bland of Uvalde, Tex., who was also naked, he beat his way through the sharp, clutching sugar cane brush until the pair sighted i group of amphibious tractors. "Don't shoot! don't shoot!' they shouted, "we're Ameri cans!" "What's the pass word?" The ensign and sergeant gave it. "Okay. Come on." Tired and still shaking, Siegal went to the marine command post and reported the incident. OHLY BURNETTtanilla can make such Heavenly Cookies the Shamrock hotel in Houston, and Ciro's in Hollywood. And all this has the 2 1 -year- old singer so goggle-eyed he keeps forgetting the English he's picked up in two years. Paco actually hit Hollywood Gloria De Haven, the star of the Las Vegas, Nev., resort, was getting ready to sing for the customers when she learned her mother had just died. In half an hour she was on a plane for Hollywood. Paco was in the audience as a vacationer. He volunteered to take over, spent 10 minutes re hearsing with the band, and stepped into the spotlight 25 minutes later. After that all heck broke loose. Senior Salvador DuHart M., consul general of Mexico, was in the audience and prompt ly signed him up for six weeks at the Cafe Paris in the swanky Hotel Reforma in Mexico City. The Desert Inn hired him back for two weeks in November. After that he starts the big bracket swing from the Chez Paree in Chicago to places like the Copacabana in New York, Then he headed back to the river bank to pick up the re mainder of the party, includ ing two men wounded by mor tar fire. Then aircraft and artillery roared in on the communist post tlons and the "place was pound ed to bits," Siegal said. The first wave of hundreds of marines loaded on amphibious tractors swarmed across the the river. "The last I heard they were advancing down the line and they might be in Seoul today, Siegal concluded. In 1048, broke, hungry, and un able to speak anytihng but Spanish. He headed for Olvera street, the Mexican Mecca for tourists, and wangled a Job sing ing for $15 a week. Now he gets $2500 for the same thing. "People are so nice," he sighs. "Sometimes I laugh like never in my life."
