Eddie Bracken Objects To Large Number, of Seats For Officers Honolulu, Aug. 18 U.R) Hollywood Star Eddie Bracken said today his USO tour of the forward area has been cancelled because he refused to perform at Saipan, where enlisted men were denied seats because ot a dis proportionate allotment of seat ing space for officers. Bracken, in an interview wnn the army newspaper "Stars and Stripes," said his troupe voted no show" when marine officers told him they would decide how many seats were to be allotted to enlisted men and officers. Three more shows were on Bracken's schedule, but they were called off without his knowledge. He first heard of it when he read it in the Saipan newspaper. Bracken, star of several movie comedies, said the trouble start ed when a crowd of 14,000 await ed his performance at Saipan. "They were sitting all over the hillside, on the chapel and on the ground. Smack in the mid dle of the seats was a large, empty area, roped off and guard ed, for officers," Bracken said. 'Col. Richard Cutts, Jr., told me seats were for late comers. But I checked the order he is sued and it said 14 rows were being saved for officers. Bracken said he made an an nouncement from the stage, tell ing the enlisted men to fill in the empty seats. ' They all piled in, but another marine colonel began to remove them," Bracken said. The actor announced from the stage that the enlisted men were not to be removed from the seats. If they were, he said, -there would be no show. The other colonel came back stage, Bracken reported, and told him that this is a military outpost," and that the men would be removed to let gentlemen officers sit." Bracken said he told the col onel that if this happened he would stop the show. Col. Cutis came backstage and said: 'Take your show and get the hell out of here.' The troupe was packing when a ma rine lieutenant asked him to con tinue the show because a large I 'V Check f .Them Ml Over Men who KNOW quality know downright VALUE offered in these nationally known line of men's wear.
