Shirley on


Hollywood. Sept. 20-AP-Shir-
ley Temple today began what she
considers the greatest role of her
life-that Of Mrs. John Agar.
She married the Army Air
Forces sergeant last night in a
wedding marked by one OF the big
gest mob scenes in Hollywood his
tory.
The crowd started gathering at
3 o'clock in the afternoon In front
Of the Wiltshire Methodist Church.
By the wedding time, $3.50, crowd
estimated by police at 5000 lined
the streets. Traffic down Wiltshire
Boulevard, main highway through
Los Angeles, was hopelessly
snarled.
Forty-five city, studio and mill
tary policemen held the crowd
back. and the couple, surrounded
by eight guards, made their way to
a waiting car.
II the outside scene was hectic,
the ceremony inside was just as
Shirley wanted it. The 500 invited
guests sat quietly in the church,
surrounded by hundreds o. pink
roses. only two thirds OF the seats
were taken. A blue ribbon stretched
down the center aisle.
The handsome 24-year-old groom
and his 17-year-old bride received
well.wishers at The home OF her
parents. The reception line lasted
two hours. Guests filtered through
a large tent in the yard OF the
Temple estate and viewed the mass
OF presents in Shirley's play house.
After the reception, the couple
left on their honeymoon, which
will be spent on a motor trip. He
must report back to the Spokane
Army Air Base in 10 days, and she
will then return to live with her
parents.
Shirley hopes to enter UCLA this
fall and has been attending rush
parties at campus sororities. How
ever, her education plans may be
postponed because OF a picture
commitment with Selznick.
At any rate. she hopes some day
to settle down and raise a family
And so far Shirley has gotten

Cuts In Sight For Five Millions
Points Lowered to
Further Speed
Discharges

Washington, Sept. 2O-AP- A
compromise tax-cutting plan that
would wipe out income levies for
some 100000 persons began TO
take form today.
1t also would scale down tax bills
for all individuals as well as cor
poratious.
The policy committee, a private
study group, called for immediate
repeal Of the three per cent NOR
NAL" tax on individual incomes and
elimination of the wartime excess
profits tax on corporations.
Army Chief OF staff Gen. George
Marshall advised a joint Senate
House meeting that the present dis
charge score OF so points could be
lowered TO 20 points by Oct. l and
to 60 points by Nov. /.
We may reach a point in late
winter when the point system will
cease and all men with two years
service will be released" Marshall
said.
He assured Congress that demob-
ilization was going forward as rap
idly as possible. He said there was
no relationship between the rate
of discharge of men from the Army
and War Department plans for a
postwar army.
Administration leaders who lost
two major battles on the Senate
jobless pay bill expressed conf
dence today they will win a third
contest. 1t involves paying the
way home for stranded war work
ers.
Senator Mcclellan (D-Ark) set
up the fight bwproposing TO strike
from the measure a section grant
ing travel allowances up to 5000
10 send these workers back home or
to a new job.
There was crushing opposition
yesterday TO two major recommen-
dations by President Truman:
l. A vote of 81 to 80 rejected his
proposal that the federal govern
ment supplement state jobless ben
efits to assure a top of s25 a week
in every state.
2. A Yote OF IS to 80 favored re
turning to the States activities Of
the United States Unemployment
Service. These were taken over
by the government early in the war.
and Mr.. Truman had asked that
they be retained in federal hands
until July /, 1947.

maximum OF $4,000 tons a year
from British and American sources.
This is described by American
government oil experts as FAR be.
low normal Spanish needs. And
even the maximum is not met a
good part OF the time.
No coal has gone to Argentina
except that specifically approved
by the United States ambassador
at Buenos Aires, Spruille Braden.
This control has given Braden as
a weapon I'm his on-the-spot oppo-
sition to the miliarist Argentine
government.
The oil now going to Argentina
is at the rate OF approximately
100000 tons a year. dating from last
May s. This is all heavy fuel oil
and is exchanged for linseed and
flaxseed oils which are in great de-
mand in the United States and
Europe. The Argentines were
using those oils for heating. In
the exchange they actually get only
an equivalent amount OF petroleum
heating fuel. Argentina's own pc
troleum industry meets about 60
per cent OF her needs. She gets
an additional quantity from Ecua-
dor. But even with the intake from
the United States she is still 20
per cent below normal.
The basic fact on which all Of
fcials here agree is that unless the
United States and Britain decide
to continue exercising joint con-
troll. nc controls will work. Thus
IL one OF the countries ships free

other will Immediately follow suit.
