NEW YORK Feb 1 0.PV From
now on I will think twice, and then
detour five blocks, be'or* pattering
again along the south side of West
44th street between Broadway and
Eighth avenue. It was there, at
about 2:40 of an otherwise fine winter
afternoon yesterday, that I ran afoul
cf the children’s hour, when the
Moppets swarm for an orgy of cele-1
brlty scalp hunting.
I Tacking along In customary absent I
minded fashion, I didn't realize any-
thing unusual lay ahead until I was
almost opposite the stage door of the
Paramount Theater building and sud-
denly discovered I was barging into
a pack of teen-agers, mostly girls,
who gave no Indication of removing
the road block.
An attempt to backtrack and by-
pass via thie gutter resulted in the
discovery that I was surrounded and
Just then someone screamed:
"Here he canes!"
This was the signal for some plain
and fancy keening that would send
chills down the drain pipe of an
Iglco and for a surge toward the door'
that caused the face of the special
policeman engaged In opening It to
blanch like a scalded almond.
I grabbed a lungful of air before
the crush cut off circulation and was
swept along almost within touching
distance of bandleader Johnny Long
—for indeed, it was he—as he shoved
smiled and hurled his way through
the mass with the aid of a strongarnt
companion whose task lt was to break
a trail to a waiting taxi 10 feet away
at the curb without committing man-
slaughter.
There were shrills, shrieks and sighs
as the tall, handsome, southpaw fid-
dling Izmir, greasepaint on his face,
plowed toward the cab.
“Hey. Johnny!" "Look this- way.
• fohnny!" “Johnny, sign my book!"
Hands reached out to touch him
and a few succeeded, but none man-
aged to get a good hold on any of
hi? apparel and he collapsed into the
cab almost intact. Tlte cabbie, who
hsd- experienced his own troubles in
getting the taxi door open because
of the press of kids around the ve-
hicle, began edging his way through
the mob that had boiled over onto
thp roadway. Twd or three of the
bolder male spirits tried to hang on
the sides of the cab but they dropped
off as it gathered speed Some of
the more energetic set off after the
cab when It was stopped at the near-
by Broadway eorndr by a red light,
but the. green light thwarted them.
By this time X was able to make
some progress toward the corner and
was shaking clear of the field at- the
halfway potnt when the horrifying
cry of "here he comes" signaled a
new danger fn front.
A top-coated, bareheaded blond
young man. who had Just emerged
from the cerner drugstore where he
ran into an ambush, was running
toward the stage door as ■ though a
thousand devils pursued him actually
thpre couldn't have been more than
50—while screeching outriders tried
to keep up with him and clutch at
his person.
There was only one thing to do.
I hugged the Paramount wall so
tightly that it left an impression In
the stone as the quarry and his
hunters swept by. How the guy ever
got through th.. other r-owd at the
stage door I don't k. but when
I came to he had . ared. Later
I learned that the man, Jimmy Wil-
liams. Long's soloist, had made lt.
Edging away from the wall In another
trembling attempt to make the cor-
ner, I discovered that I had been
leaning against a tender message,
printed on the white stone apparent-
ly with lipstick. It read:
"I love you Frankie Sinatrl. Call

CHINESE TROOPS
MAKE ADVANCES
UNDER STILWELL
NEW DELHI. Peb. 1 (UR)—Lt. Gen,
Joseph W Stllwell revealed today that
his American-trained and equipped
Chinese troops have advanced more
than 100 miles across northern Burma
In the face of stubborn Japanese re-
sistance and predicted that "we are
going into China."
Stllwell, commander of American
forces in the China-Burma-Indta thea-
ter and ot the Chinese fifth and sixth
armies in Burma, said the New Ledo
supply road between India and China
has been pushed more than one-third
of the war across Burma behind the {
fighting screen formed by his Chinese
troops. ^ , ,
He warned, however, that the Jungle
terrain and savage Japanese resistance
can be expected to make further pro- ■
gress difficult. I
Since the Chinese began their march i
eastward from the Indian frontier on
Oct. 26, he said, only two Japanese j
prisoners have been taken, although
the Chinese exterminated an entire
en' my regiment—possibly 3,000 men. i
■ They're lough—I certainly give them *
credit." said Stllwell of the Japanese.
"They're good soldiers.”
Stllwell said his Chinese troops are
forced to use artill ry and heavy mor-
tar to blast the Japanese from their
Jungle positions and that generally the
enemy fights to the last man.
He said the Japanese repeatedly have
tried to Infiltrate through thP Chinese
lines to cut the Lalo road, but assert-
ed that “they haven't halted us from
using it."
Stilweil admitted, however, that it
might take a half-million troops to
make the road completely safe from
attack.
Commenting on the aerial war in
China, he said American and Chinese
fliers still are shooting down Japanese
planes at a ratio of four or five to
on*. No new American planes are
being introduced there, he added, be-
cause "the ones we have seem to be
good enough.”

workers a short time after the walk-
out began on Dec. 2. 1938. ■
Commenting on union charges of
anti-union statements by company rep-
resentatives, the NLRB said:
"The only evid' nee in the record
bearing on any such activities Is the
testimony of several witnesses called
by the board, one of whom testified
that on one occasion he discussed the
, possibility of a strike with a guard
who stated, in effect, that If a strike
occurred hp was a “good shot” with
a pistol!' and another of whom testi-
fied that anothef guard stated that in
event of a strike he would shoot any-
lonc who touched him or his automobile.
"With resp1 ct to such anti-union
statements as supervisory emplayrs
1 admitted making, we find them,
under the circumstances of this case,
to have been insubstantial."

McNutt Changes Over
On Natl. Service Act
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1. (UP)—War
Manpower Chief Paul V. M-Nutt re-
versed his opposition to a national
service act today with the assertion
"who are we to object" when those
In charge of high strategy decide lt
is necessary.
“Therefore, I support it,” he said.
But he added that to get his un-
qualified support, a national service
program would have to include the
principles which hP embodied in a
recent speech on manpower problems.
These included emphasis on the local
character of manpower problems and
continued cooperation between man-
agement and labor wljich has been
an Integral part of all successful vol-
untary community manpower programs.
His platform also called for democratic
administration, protecting bith worker
and employer against arbitrary action,
and emphasizing that the authority
inherent In the law should be balanc-
ed by strict recognition of the obliga-
tion toward persons affected by the
act.
McNutt also announced at his press
conference that manpower requirements
by July 1 for civilian and military ac-
tivities would be increased by 900,000
over Jan. I.
A breakdown of the estimated re-
quirements for the total labor force
of 65.700.000 by next July, he said,
shows 11.30(5.000 In military service,
12.100.000 in agriculture. 9.800.000 In
munitions industries, 17,600,000 in
trades, services, self employment, state
and local government and federal gov-
< rnment, with the exception of war
agencies, navy yards and manufactur-
ing arsenals. War agencies will require
1.500.000 workers, transportation, fuel
and utilities Indus ries 4.500.000. con-
struction Industries 700.000, food pro-
cessing and distribution 1.500,000. tex-
tiles and clothing 2.7''0,000 and manu-
facturing and mining 3,000,000.
