Victor Mature
Now TO Marry
Anne Shirley
By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 26.-UP)-
Victor Mature, who lost one movie
redhead to Orson Welles scurried
around today for a license to mar
ry Anne Shirley, another red-head
star of the films.
Miss Shirley announced the en-
gagement late last night, then
went to the Mocambo with Hunk
of man Mature, now of the Coast
Guard, who said:
"All I can say is that since I re-
turned to Hollywood l found out
the way to a woman's heart is now
by saving her in half"
This was an oblique reference TO
his engagement east winter to Rita
Hayworth. Hardly had Miss H. an
nounced she would marry the
mighty Welles. who sawed her in
half nightly. Shortly thereafter the
man from Mars married Miss Hay
worth and Mature, in Chicago, an
nounced via long distance tele-
phone that he had suffered a jolt
Having earned his leave from
the coast guard by sea duty on the
route to Murmansk, which brought
him battle stars on his campaign
ribbon, Mature came to Hollywood
two weeks ago and has been seen
in the hot spots with an assortment
of beauties, including Betty Hutton.
Nobody suspected that he intend
ed to marry Miss Shirley, the ex-
wife of John Payne, until one of his
pals tipped his studio, which tipped
the press, which tried in vain to
get a statement from Mature. He
referred all would-be intervieWers
to Miss Shirley
(Which is the way it ought to be-
she said. yes, we are going to be
married before Victor leaves for
duty. I think he goes next week.
We don't know yet just when the
ceremony will be performed, or
where"
She said she'd known Mature for
several years, but only recently had
been considering him as a prospec-
tive husband.
When the Mature hit Hollywood
from Louisville, KY, about four
years ago, his affairs of the heart
made headlines every few days. He
was in love with Carole Lands,
Betty Cradle, Lupe Velez and per-
haps dozen others, or so said his
press agents. While squirting the
beauties around town and arguing
with Hal Roach about his slary,
Mature lived in a tent, rode in a
16-cylinder automobile, and regular
ly poked the noses of anybody who
called him pretty boy
Then he went to New York. to
put on golden-colored polo suit
and co-star with Gertrude Law
renee in Lady in the Dark" A
line in the play gave him the tag,
Hunk of Man," which forced him
to use his fists some more after he
joined the coast guard.
In New York he met Martha
Kemp at an auction of unmention-
ables for benefit of the British war
relief. Miss Kemp married him al
most Immediately and left him a
few months later. She charged
him with mental cruelty.
To-day" he said yesterday, st
think everything is wonderful
Miss Shirley agreed and they
spent most of the evening posing
for photographers in attitudes
which Mature insisted should be
dlgnified as befitting his status as
a fighting man.

Alaska Filters Report
On paramushiro Raid;
No Planes Were LOST
BY WILLIAM l.. WORDEN
ASSOCIATED Press War
Correspondent

HEADQUARTERS, ALASKA DE-
TENSE COMMAND, July 20-Al-
aska pilots, trained by combat fly
ing over Kiska, celebrated today
with the first successful raid on
Jap territory since the bombing of
Tokyo.
Aleutian- based bombers returned
without the loss of a plane from
long distance bombing Of
Paramushiro. Japan's northernmost
military base.
The raid came as the logical con-
clusion to the American occupation
of Attu. 1t has long been expected
and prepared for with Jap ship
ping being swept from the north
ern seas by naval surface vessels
and the bombers of the Eleventh
Air Force which has handled the
lions share of flying in the Aleu-
tians during the past year.
Returning pilots reported tn c
latest bombing was no more diff
cult than flights against the Jap
bases on the American islands IN
the Aleutians.
Good View
They came out of overcast into
clear skies above Paramushiro and
looked down on a square mile OF
military installations.
The American raiders saw some
Jap planes, but none of which
wanted to fight. Only light anti
aircraft fire was met.
Bombs were dropped near ships
in the harbor.
The filters said they saw what
appeared to be an ancient fort,
built long ago.
The pilots in the attack were
veterans, all having been over
Kiska many times, some also hav-
ing led attacks on Attu only a
little more than month ago.
The pilots all knew they were
making a dangerous survey flight
in preparation for future flights
which eventually will hit all of the
Kurile Island bases as well as more
thickly populated Jap territory.
Before Raid

one crew, has an auto stored in
Los Angeles and the pilots said he
has been boasting about it ever
since he arrived in the Aleutians
But before this raid he offered to
sell it to any taker at greatly re-
duced price.
The men carried no special equip
ment except life RATS, but all
agreed that the thing to do if
downed was to reach Russian ter
ritory
The raiders were in the air more
than nine hours as they followed
the weather map, skrting the bad
areas at the northern tip of the
Jap islands. They spend at least
40 minutes over the target, climb
ing and circling in preparation for
dropping their bomb loads.
The weather cleared for bomb
ing through the clouds, but pre-
vented any deck level bombing as
planned.
