Marilyn Shows Curves To Panting Soldiers
Korea—Marilyn Monroe caused a near-riot when she showed of her famous curves to the American Army today.
Thousands of excited, wolf-whistling soldiers almost trumpeted a military police guard in their angeriness to get a closer look at her.
L i k e bobbysoxers besieging a crooner, more than 10,000 panting soldiers of the U.S. 40th Infantry division nearly halted her show in their enthusiastic approval of her charms.
The wild demonstration was the highlight of the second and most hectic day of Marilyn's four-day tour of American units in Korea.
Marilyn, who says she can neither sing nor dance well, had only to walk to evoke cheers at the 1st Marine, 7th, and 3rd Army divisions. But the 40th division broke the record.
While the preliminary acts were in progress at the 40th division theater, the crowd of soldiers pushed, shoved and elbowed forward in an attempt to get closer to the stage.
When they threatened to break through a line of military police holding them back, a regimental corunander, Col. John E. Kelley of Bismarck, N.D., halted the show temporarily.
"You are here to have a good time," he said, "and there is no sense in anyone getting hurt."
When Miss Monroe appeared on the stage in a low-cut, skin-tight purple dress which she said "does a little more for me," the crowd surged forward and nearly trampled the men guarding the stage.
They screamed and shouted and attempted to climb on the back of their buddies.
Almost every man in the 10,000 had a camera.
Marilyn ran through three songs from her recent movies—"Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Fiend" "Do It Again," and "Bye Bye Baby."
Then she paraded back and forth across the stage, exhibiting her famous wiggle, throwing kisses to the soldiers, and posing for pictures.
Even before the show ended, some of the men left the outdoor theater and took up positions around the stage door.
"Boy!" Burkhart said. "She is all there."
For the first time in her tour Marilyn ate lunch with 20 enlisted men who represented the division. There had been some criticism that she was spending too much time in the company of officers.
Cpl. Robert N. Burkhart of Johnstown, Pa., who was named 40th division "Soldier of the Week," was given the place of honor on the actress's right.
Cpl. James Cerajewski. 21, of Whiting, Ind., sat across from the blonde.
"Gee," was all he could say later. Marilyn, surrounded by admiring camera fans, rode to the show in a General Patton tank.

Milan — (U.P.) — A Communist-led general strike today paralyzed the heart of industrial Italy.
Workmen here laid down their tools 15 minutes before lunch time. In Turin, 70 miles away, at least a dozen persons were injured in new violence.
The walkout in the cities of this northern region was one of a series by Communist and socialist unions to enforce demands for higher pay. But the strike quickly took on a political hue designed to embarrass the government.
Thousands of workers walked off their jobs in the latest move ostensibly to pay homage to Ernesto Leoni, who died after a scuffle yesterday with Premier Mario Scelba's riot sundacs.
The series of strikes started yesterday with a 24-hour walkout in the Rome area and demonstrations elsewhere.
General Strike Paralyzes Italy
Police denied that the death of Mr. Leoni, a Communist party member, resulted from the police charge which broke up a demonstration in a branch of the Fiat automobile works here.
More than 400 persons were arrested and two policemen were injured by flying stones when Communist-dominated unions staged a one-day strike for higher pay yesterday.
Additional Communist - inspired strikes were scheduled for today, tomorrow and Friday in different parts of Italy in an effort to overthrow the 5-day-old Scelba government.
The initial walkout was more noisy than effective.
Mr. Selcel, who was minister of interior and thus head of the police in four previous Italian cabinets, had trained riot squads placed at strategic points throughout the Rome area.
When demonstrators got out of hand, the police moved in. Those who were particularly troublesome were subdued and failed.
But for the most part, the Rome demonstrations were orderly and most of those arrested were released.
