Man Fakes HoIdup
To Find How Easy
1t Could Be Done
BY the Associated Press

OKLAHOMA CITY. Aug. 31.-
II want everything in the cash
register" said a sinister looking
man who kept his hand in his
front pocket as if he had a gun.
AS grocery store cashier Otto
Smith opened the register, the
man suddenly smiled and said !:
Forget it, I don't have a gun.
I just wanted to see if it was
as easy to pull a robbery as the
papers say it is"
Police want to have a little
chat with the joker.

Farmers Seek To
Aid Workers And
Their Families In
Distressed Areas
By TOM REEDY

BERLIN R Hunger stalked
Germany'S Communist Eastern
zone today, fixing the powderkeg
which exploded last week into a
workers rebellion against Russian
repression.
Refugees to West Berlin reported
that the East Germans, undaunted
by Soviet tanks and firing squads,
protest marches demanding bread
through the streets of Leipzig,
Dresden, Demnitz and Eisenach.
The lettering puppet government
of Premier Otto Grotewohl ad-
mitted it faced grave problems"
in feeding the Is million FESTIVE
East Germans. Its news agency
and broadcaStS announced state
food handling agencies had pledged
to make up the losses caused by
the Fascist Western agents" in the
strike and riot wave launched June
II.
Farmers were urged to cooper
ate.
East Berlin was better off than
most areas, but with two policing
Russian armored divisions living
off what was available the city
was short of bread and potatoes.
Refugees described conditions in
many Soviet zone cities as cataS-
trophic.
Communist police patrols, they
said, were touring the streets with
sound trucks blaring that things
would get better.
Farmers, browbeaten for years
by arbitrary Communist quotas,
were reported withholding their
produce from central state collec-
ton points, bringing extension of
the Red Army'S martial law to the
agricultural belt.
Farmers also were said to be
making behind-the-fence deliveries
of food to workers and their fam
lilies in distressed areas.
The wave of arrests and execu-
tons continued. The anti-Red un-
derground estimated $4,000 alleged
strike leaders were behind bars.
The latest death penalty reported
was meted out to Communist May

HOLLYWOOD VI Surprise,
everyone! Marie Wilson has legs

What's more, movie goers viii
be seeing more of her gains than
her more noted attributes-possi-
bly, because of the new dimensions
in film screens.
Nothing is safe in this SD revo-
luton. Marie is in a class with
Jane Russell and Dagmar, as far
as the feminine form is concerned.
Now she may be known as the
cover-up girl.
Frank Tashlin, who is directing
Marie in "Marry Ne Again"
shakes his head over the whole
business.
marie comes in with lovely
dresses" he told me, "but we have
to keep adding material on the top.
That kind of outfit just won't pass
the censors these days. But there's
nothing wrong with legs, and Marie
has good ones. We have several
scenes in which she shows her legs
in hootchy- kootch outfit, bath
ing suit and other things"
This strictness of decolletage
may be due to the fact that the
picture is being shot in the wide
screen technique. This method
takes in a lot more territory md
gives the audience a closer look
than did the old style of filming.
Censors viii no doubt be grateful
that Marry Me Again" is not be-
ing filmed in three dimensions as
well, II was originally slated as a
''depthie." but plans were dropped
at the last minute. Whether Miss
Wilson'S form had anything to do
with the matter is not known. How.
ever, she is grateful that the film
receives the wide.screen treatment.
