WHITE West Side Pharmacy 135 EAST MAIN PHONE 2-2330 President Truman and Nation Pay Tribute On Armed Forces Day a Washington (U.R) President Truman and the nation paid tribute Saturday to the armed forces in the conviction that world peace depends upon U. S. military might. In the capital and elsewhere, in this country and abroad, the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard joined in celebrating the third annual Armed Forces Day. Power on Display In scores of parades, the armed services displayed a sample of the rising military power on which the President hinged forecast of peace. Despite unseasonal chilly weather, Mr. Truman watched men and women of the services, veterans, and school cadets march and ride in a parade that took 75 minutes to pass the re viewing stand. A crowd esti mated at 50,000 lined Constitu tion Avenue. The four-mile-long parade was viewed by military attaches of 44 foreign countries, including four Iron Curtain nations Rus sia, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and Poland. They saw nothing of America's newest military equip ment. Planes Grounded Planes were grounded be cause of the oil strike, and the Army exhibited none of its latest weapons. President Truman obviously enjoyed the parade. He chatted and laughed with the. military officers beside him. He tapped nut with his feet the cadence of the marches played by 18 bands. The unusually heavy beating of a drum by a Marine bandsman got a particularly hearty laugh from the President; Around Hollywood Hollywood U.R) Actors are I super-egos who have to be fibbed to, molly-coddled and babied, an actor ad mitted today. Walter Woolf King, an ex Broadway star who's making a comeback in movies, can look at picture profiles in proper per spective s i nee Aline Mosby he used to be an agent. ' For six years he worked for the Sam Jaffee Agency that handled such luminaries as Hum phrey Bogart, John Payne, Fay Bainter and Lee Cobb. But when King discovered he was manufacturing his first ul cer, he went back to acting to be mollycoddled himself. "Actors like to make jokes about that ten per cent of their salary and what does the agent do for it. Ha! Actors wouldn't get any place without their agents," he sighed. Agent Gives Money "Your agency takes on a young actor. You give him enough money to live on, buy his clothes and take him to be seen in the right places. You get him a studio contract. But you don't sit back. You have to Visit the studio produc ers to get him top parts. He gets the role but he doesn't think it's big enough. He demands you call the producer to get the part padded. He wants this director or that cameraman. You think producers get ulcers "It takes diplomacy to get an actor to listen to reason." Gave Advice on Love Agent King gave his players advice on love, marriage and di vorce and kept them out of trou ble. The hardest task, he sairi, was feeding the Thespians' egos. "Actors have to have faith in themselves and a definite sel fishness or they can't become successful," he explained. "Therefore it's difficult to tell an actor the truth, because an agent has to keep the actor's By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent spirits up. You can't tell them the real reasons why they don t get certain roles. Actors have no sense of humor about themselves. "The worst thing was to tell one star that, after seeing the rushes, the studio executive felt she was miscast in her role and decided to replace her. Everybody Gives Shove "An actor begins to slip from bad parts. The minute he hits the toboggan, everybody's there to give him the shove. After six years of working 20 hours a day for his clients, King cured his ulcer and returned to acting. Coincidentally, he's play ing an agent in "Tonight We Sing," at 20th Century Fox Stu dio. Actor King does not have an agent. He kindly does not wish to inflict himself on some harried ten per center so King's his own agent. "I'd be too hard a taskmaster on the guy," he said.

I Kefauver Backers Attempt To Corner. Washington Votes Spokane (U.R) Backers of Sen. Estes Kefauver, Tenn essee, who is seeking the presi dential nomination, were out in force Saturday in an attempt to corner this state's 22 Demo cratic national convention delegates. Harry Henson, state party chairman from Port Angeles, Wash., said other candidates ap peared to have little support in Washington state county caucus es and that the 839 state conven tion delegates meeting here would pledge the national dele gation to Kefauver "at least on the first ballot." Sen. Robert S. Kerr, Okla homa, arrives here Saturday for a last-ditch effort to pick up some border-line delegates. Sen. Richard Russell, Georgia. and Averell Harriman, both can didates for the Democratic nom ination, said they would be un able to attend.

New Deadlock Faces Negotiators In Lumber Strike Portland (U.R) A new deadlock faced negotiators in the Northwest woodworkers strike Saturday after union rep resentatives "picked up their marbles and went home" dur ing sessions with the Lumber men's Industrial Relations com mittee. The talks broke, union spokes men said, when the employers' group refused to accept the prov isions of an agreement that had been signed shortly before with the Willamette Valley Opera tors' association. They said the obstacle was local issues, one of them the union shop, which had been thrown into the talks with the other points in dispute. Federal mediators may call for a resumption of the talks but Walter Durham, secretary manager of the LIRC said there may be meetings with local un ions in an effort to reach settle ments on a local basis. The talks affected 175 em ployers and 17,000 union mem bers. Many of the other strike bound operators, including the Long Bell Lumber company have settled with the union.
