A s o 1 d 1 e r, Sgt. Wlllard Traylor, Cyn thia n a, Ky., kept his eyes straight ahead. The sergeant Is one of the honor guard before the tomb of the Harmon Nlehola Unknown Soldier at Arlington Cemetery. There are 168 volunteer en listed men assigned to the task and come snow, ram, sleet, or high wind they keep a 24-hour vigil every day In every .year. The men put tnetr neart in their work and are proud of their assignment. Pfc. Monte Bristow, Shepards- vllle, Ky., summed it up for the rest when he said; . "That fellow out there repre sents the Army and the Ameri can people respect. The folks who come out here don't come out to sightsee. They come to pay homage to a symbol of our country. Every day is Memorial Day before that tomb over there." The private took off his white gloves and pointed to the inscrip tion on the tomb: Around Hollywood Hollywood (U.R) Enzio Pinza decided Thursday his de but as a screen lover a year ago was "unfortu nate" be cause the pic tures tried to type him as a "South Pa cific" romeo. T h e h a n d some opera star is back In the movies, at 20th Century Aline Mosby Fox studio, to portray another opera singer in a long-hair music movie, "To night We Sing." This time he sings opera and doesn't kiss any curvy movie queens. ' But he's "happier," he says, than he was imported by MGM as the greatest wooer on cellu loid after his stage success in "South Pacific." Neither critics nor ticket buy ers turned handsprings over Pinza's "Mr. Imperium and "Strictly Dishonorable." Stories Unbelievable "The stories were unbeliev able," Pinza shrugged. "If you are not capable of catching an audience by the throat you don't do anything. "In 'Mr. Imperium' I was sup posed to send a friend to Lnna Turner's dressing room to ask her for. a date with me. Their love in the picture was too philo sophical. You don't talk like that to a women if you want to make love to her. "The love affair In 'South Pa cific' between the older man and young girl was human. It was believable.

May 30. 1952 This and That W. NICHOLS feature Writer "Here rests in honored glory an American soldier known but to God." , March for One Hour - During the daytime the sol diers pace up and down a short ramp in front of the tomb. They march for one hour and are off the next three. At each end they halt, make a half-turn . to face the tomb, click their heels and bring their rifles up smartly to port arms. Then they count slowly to 20, pause a second and count to 20 again. Then they do an about face and return to the other end and repeat the performance. Only one man 1 marches at a time. During the night, the corps Is on for two hours and off four. There are three shifts. Soldiers Well Screened o All the men are from Com pany A, Fort Myer, Va., mem bers of the Third Infantry regi ment. The soldiers are well screened. They volunteer for the assign ments. They must not be over five feet 11 Inches tall. They're fine looking boys, slender but mus cular. Their carriage, of course, is precise. "While on duty, out of re spect for the dead, we are not allowed to speak to anyone," said Pfc. Ted Manolukas, Youngstown, O. "Most people have enough re spect not to speak to us." By ALINI MOSBY United Press Correspondent to base the movies on that. You'd think all I'd ever done was sing 'Some Enchanted Evening.' Story Musi Be Sensible "I do a love story again, yes, but it has to be a sensible love story, not a freak. Everyone thinks of Lana Turner as a baby." MGM paid Pinza $50,000 to wait until votes from the box office came in. The studio offer ed him a one-picture contract, he said. But negotiations caved in and Pinza went back to New York television. He returned to Hollywood only for "Tonight We Sing," which he had signed for six years ago. Belter To Work Up When Pinza swept Into the cinema city in 1950, he was in stalled at a Bel-Air mansion and feted with parties and publicity. This trip he's at a hotel and no parties. "Things that start that way with parties always end bad," he reflected. "Better to atart from the first step and work up, but not from the last step coming down."
