East Germany Smashes Movement
Designed To Ease Soviet Control
By JOSEPH FLEMING
United Press Correspondent
Berlin W Stalinist-run East
Germany has smashed a
"Titoist" movement designed to
diminish Soviet controls and cre
ate a Communist state similar
to Wladyslaw Gomulka's Poland.
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

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."

Is That So?
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.
Satisfied, under safe and sane
conditions need present no great

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.

Business Growing Fast
Fargo. N.D. 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.
