Would Cut Defenses He said, $3,000,000,000 could be cut from defense appropria tions because $15,000,000,000 is not needed for adequate defense, Morse said some of the saving could be made by setting up a central procurement system for the three armed services.

AROUND HOLLYWOOD It VIRGINIA MacPHlRSON United Pratt Corretp3ndnt Wednesday, January 25. 1950 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE Vtrttoito KacFheros Hollywood, Jan. 25 (U.R) A , great lover of the silent screen said todav that when talkies came, sex went out of the movies. Antonio Mor eno, one of the original mati nee idols, said lovemaking is something that doesn't call for conversation. "I . have a girl in my arms. I am I am hugging - and kissing her," he said. "I don't want to talk. "I only want," and he waved his arms expressively, "action. I just want to hear her breath ing." This was so much more real istic, he said, than the "Darling, 1 love you" which keeps getting in the way of modern movie lovers. ' Probably it's a good thing for the censors that passion these days is mostly in words, he add ed. They'd go mad cutting out the sex put out by sirens like Greta Garbo, Gloria Swanson and the Talmadge sisters. No Lines to Remember "You understand, they did not have to remember their lines or think about the microphone," he said. "In a love scene, they for got everything but love. It was sincere. Ah, it was beautiful, much more beautiful." Moreno, working at Metro Goldwyn for the first time since 1927 as a character actor in "Crisis," was one of the six stars at the studio when it opened 26 years ago. He nuzz led Alice Terry in "Mare Nostrum," Gloria Swanson in "My Ameri can Wife," Pola Negri in "The Spanish Dancer," as well as Blanche Sweet, Edith Story Maryford and Agnes Ayres. There was beautiful music in the background for those love scenes, too. encouraging ladies who were backward about act ing abandoned. "Greta Garbo was so stiff, so shy," said Moreno, who made love to her in her second Ameri can picture, "The Temptress." "I said to her, 'you must relax, be free,' and I asked the musi cians to play a serenade. " 'Do not play it roughly,' I said. When the music started, ah. it was as a blanket had been lifted from her. She was so warm, surging passionate. "What a scene!" Man Who Bought Hitler Car Finds It Pays Dividends Chicago. ftJ.R) Christopher G. Janus, who bought Adolph Hit ler's personal armored automo bile, is getting a big kick out of using the car In a way "I'm sure Hitler would not have liked."
