The movement never posed a serious threat to the entrenched power of Communist leader Wal ter Ulbricht and the 450,000 Soviet troops behind him. . But it gained widespread sup port among students and intel lectuals and infected the rank and file of the Communist Party itself. The leaders of this "counter revolutionary" movement have been jailed. However, the unrest that produced it still exists and could some day explode into the open. One a Professor The leaders were little known in the West. But all had large following! in the Soviet Zone. Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent Aline Mosbv Hollywood HP Who should portray the late Jean Harlow in the movie about her tragic life? Fans who cherish the memory of the first of the platinum blondes are suggesting ev erybody from Ann Sothern to Jayne Mans field. But pro ducer Jerry Wald, who's filming the story of the actress at 20th Century-Fox in October, is scouring the act ing centers of New York and Hollywood for an unknown act ress and she doesn't have to be blonde. "We get hundreds of letters every week from around the country," said Wald, leafing through the mail on his desk. "They suggest Lucille Ball, Ann Sheridan, Janet Leigh, Carroll Baker, Marilyn MonroeTerry Moore. ... Internal Fire Sought "I am looking for an actress, but a little known one," Wald continued. "Then the audience won't anticipate what she'll do. Engineering Regiment To Honor Embarkation Peoria, 111. fW Veterans of the Second Regiment of Engi neers of the American Expedi tionary Force will assemble here for a two-day convention Aug. 31-Sept. 1 in commemoration of the 40th anniversary of their embarking for France. The regi ment sailed from Hoboken, K.J Sept. 10. 1P17. Convention headquarters will be at the Pere Marquette Hotel, L. C. Beaumont (Route 2. Gos port, Indiana) is secretary-treasurer of the organization which is a branch df the Second Divi sion association. The Second Engineers was a unit of the Second Division in World War I. The regiment fought as infantry in five major engagements during World War I, including Beleau Wood, Sois- sons. St. Mihicl and the Argonne. Its casualties were higher than any other engineer regiment, re sulting in a grand total of 871 out of a regiment of 1.697 en listed men and 52 officers. Q It is the only regiment of the U. S. Army to have been organ ized on foreign soil. It was or ganized in Colonia Dublan, Mex ico, Aug. 1, 1916. And the unknown doesn't have to have blonde hair. I'm inter viewing girls who don't look like Harlow did. What I'm looking for is internal fire. The make-up department will take care of the. rest." The movie, the way Wald out lines it, will be a revealing study of a sex siren of the screen what kind of a person she really was, and the problems her sexy screen personality brought to her life. Wald feels the Harlow story reflects the story of most of the love goddesses of the movies the Novaks. Turners, Monroes. Insecurity Common "This script will touch on a lot of local nerves," he said. "These stars all run to the same pattern. Insecurity, fright. They think they'd better get the money fast because they don't think they'll last. "Their worst problem is that men think they're as sexy off screen as on. Men marry them for what they are in the movies not as human women with or dinary problems. "Jean Harlow was married to Paul Bern because she thought he was one man who uidn t ex pect her to be as she was in Hell's Angels.' " Bern committed suicide after their marriage, leaving a note. "Last night was a farce." Jean herself died of uremic poisoning when she was in the middle of filming "Saratoga" with Clark Gable. Mexico City Shows Return To Normal Mexico City on A fright ening series of altershocks ceased Tuesday and Mexico City rapidly returned to normal. Rescue crews still searched rubbled buildings for victims of Sunday's devastating earthquake but the death toll was much lighter than previously feared. Official sources said the death toll stood at 67 52 of them in Mexico City and 15 scattered through the 154,000 square mile area shaken by series of more than 30 temblors The toll of injured in Mexico City was put at 67. The American embassy an nounced officially it had no knowledge of any American be ing killed or seriously injured m the quake. All were considered loyal Com munists until the Hungarian re volt. And all of them had re sponsbile jobs under Ulbricht that brought them a high income and the privileges the Com munist ruling class enjoys. The leader of the movement was Wolfgang Harich, 33-year-old professor of Marxism at East Berlin's Humboldt University. Harich until his arrest was considered by the Communists one of their brightest young men. He frequently was sent to the West to persuade German intellectuals of the merits of Communism. He represented the Communists at many forums held in West Berlin. He was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment in March. Four of Harich's fellow con spirators were sentenced to a total of 14',i years imprisonment last week by the East German Supreme Court. Didn't Want Capitalism They were Walter Janka, head of the state-run "Aufbrau" pub lishing house, Gustav Just, man aging editor of the highbrow weekly newspaper "Sontag," Hainz Zeoger, chief editor of "Sontag," and Richard Wolf, top reporter for the East German radio network. These five and an unknown number of followers throughout East Germany plotted the over throw of the zone's Stalinist leaders after the Hungarian re volt and Poland's drive for inde pendence. They did not want to restore capitalism or convert East Ger many into a Western-style par liamentary democracy But they did want an end to totalitarian terror and tight Sov iet controls. They envisaged an independent Communist German state similar to Yugoslavia. They sought at least the concession Gomulka has wrung from the Soviets for Poland. Make' One Mistake As a basic aim they demanded withdrawal of Soviet occupation troops. Another was the free election of party leaders by party members. The five leaders, denounced as "counter-revolutionaries," got nowhere. They were arrested al most as soon as they formulated tneir program. They made one great mistake. They advised Ulbricht and even boviet Ambassador G. M. Push kin of their aims. Apparently, they thought both Ulbricht and Pushkin would allow them to present their plan to parly mem- oers and have a democratic vote on it. "I made a very great mistake," Harich said at his trial. "I thought I was dealing with hon orable men, with Democrats. I realize now I was dealing with fools and criminals." .15 Measlgs .Cases; .KepjpriteaMweepi --r--".."-i t- itTton-rs. r-rir mess k neKQ-j ..'-e1ith'e!"list of communicable'dis- -'..eases imported by the Jackson county department of health for the week ending July 26.

By EUGENE BURNS Ranger-Naturalist There comes the day when your back-yard cowboy and his trusty cap pistol has freed the neighborhood of the last rustler; when the pioneers on your block have routed the last redskin. Then, your boy and girl will want a gun, a real one that shoots. That craving, cropping up usually before or in the early teens, is normal, and healthy.

Fhone SPrins 2-8886 123 W. Main Medford problem to the parent in fact, it can bring both the parent and the youngster shared fun. And give the boy and girl safe shoot ing and a lifetime of truly en joyable sport. Shooting sports require no special strength or physical prowess. It's possible for boys and girls to compete on equal footing, regardless of age and size. When to start? The real meas ure is that of responsibility. If you are ready to leave your youngster at home alone for the evening; if you'd send him to the grocery store shopping with a ten-dollar bill, the chances are the youngster is old enough to shoot a gun, under proper supervision. Supervised range-firing pro grams are accessible in almost all parts of this country. Almost 5,000 junior clubs in nearly 3S many communities in the U.S. and Canada are instructed by thousands of adult members of the National Rifle Association. Taught in Schools In many places, riflcry is taught in schools as part of the recreation program. The Boy Scouts, Izaak Walton chapters, civic and service clubs, veter ans' organizations, police and fire departments, churches, community recreation depart ments, gun clubs, conservation groups and agencies all these and many other good organiza tions sponsor shooting programs. For the beginner, the single shot 22 rifle is the best and the S15 to S25 the gun costs should be earned by the boy or girl. As for the ammunition, that comes to about a penny a shot. The rimfire is the simplest, strongest and safest gun to use. The 22 caliber cartridge is not noisy, has very little muzzle blast and no noticeable recoil. It can be purchased in various weights and stock lengths to fit a youngster's individual physical requirements. Should Talk To Someone If the parent is not experi enced in shooting, then he should talk to someone who is, perhaps a hunter - friend who lives on the same block or a National Rifle Association mem ber. He may be willing to start the youngster's instruction or introduce you to your local sportsmen's club. Or check with your nearby gun club, conserva tion club, town's recreation sup ervisor, school's physical educa tion director. Scoutmaster, 4-H leader, or one of the many youth organizations in your communi ty. Your hardware dealer may be helpful. For more information about your nearest shooting club, you might write to The National Rifle Association, 1600 Rhode Island Avenue, N.W., Washing ton 6, D.C., for information on the junior rifle shooting pro gram. At another time we'll discuss the Scout program; the Audubon Society; Camera clubs, and such worth-while conservation clubs as the Izaak Walton League of America.

OH North Dako ta is better known for its open prairie than for its trees, but the state's lumbering business is growing. There are already 101 tree farms scattered around North Dakota, and logging is flourish ing in the northern Red River Valley along the Minnesota bor der. A half-million board feet of timber was logged out of the state's northeastern counties last year and shipped to o::t-of-state wood working mills. Most of the timber was basswood, but a few cottonwoods, elms and oaks were also taken. Farmers averaged $18 per thousand board feet for their trees on the stump, forester John Zaylskie said. Since the timber is used chiefly by Wisconsin firms for producing veneer for door-construction, it must meet definite standards, he added.
