Groan and Sweat
LONDON, Aug. 4—“We're not the glamour boys of this Olympics,” said Wrestler Glen Brand, 24, an ex-GI student at Iowa State. “We amit had to worry about flashbulbs, popping in our faces or duchesses at ringside. But I bet we sweat the most!”
Glen had just buttered a red-gowned terrible Turk on the mat at Empress Hall, Earl's Court, London. It took plenty of sweat. 4 For a few minutes it looked as if the Turk were going to break Glen up like a dropped crossword puzzle. He had his hairy black legs wrapped around Glen’s migdle and attempted in Squstse the Lowa Oy's:Woakias. lunsh and dinner through his ears. Then the terrible Turk fitpped Glen around like you toss a coin and climbed all over his face. Slowly Glen's shoulders sagged down toward defeat. “Oh, Lordy!” gasped Melvin “Doc” Northrup, of San Francisco, team camp follower. “This is very bad, indeed. I'd hate to have the Turk on top of me—they're very bad customers indeed.”

sighed a mighty effort and broke the terrible Turk’s double-death holds.’ : The terrible Turk backed away as Glen went on the offengive. He ‘circled the terrible Turk with his arms and legs, like a furious boa constrictor. “Pour it on, Glen,” screamed Doc. Then Doc turned to me: “Glen’s got him with a crotch hold and half-Nelson.” The terrible Turk moaned miserably in Turkish. All the wind seemed to go out of him like a punctured inner tube. His shoulders flopped to the mat and the referee—a Swede—waved his hands in the air. Glen Brand had won the match. Empress Hall, headquarters for the squeeze-
Kissing Mileage
HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 4—In a land where kisses come in inches. and yards, film cutter Harry Marker set the 1948 average today at two feet. This is considerably under the yardage run up by the Garbo-Gilbert epics, but regarded as adequate in. this age of the Jet plane and the rocket. Shortest on record is the six-inch goodby-dear-and-dash-back-to-the-station wagon. The GarboGilbert chest-heavers burned up 12 feet of celluloid. That was how they got the idea across in those days. Now they talk more and smooch less. This pleases the censors.
Approach, Eye-Rolling Discounted
THE TWO-FOOT kiss, including 44 photographs, whizzes by on the screen in two seconds. This does not include the approach or the eyerolling which makes it seem a lot longer. “The shortest kiss we've had at RKO this year is the railroad goodly,” Mr. Marker said, referring te a black notebook. “The child's bedtime kiss is next. It runs eight inches.” The cheek-to-cheek kiss, often stolen on the dance floor, averages a foot. So does the I'mi-late-for-the-office kiss. “I let the first rendezvous and the honeymoon kisses go. for the full two feet” Mr. Marker said.
WPA Totem Poles
WRANGELL, Alaska, Aug, 4—Year-rounders here defend their totem poles like Floridians detapd their climate, but probe deep énough and a horrible truth comes out., = One of the best and most lavish of these wowing the customcrs on cruise ships along this stretch of the coast are the productions of . . . Guess what? The WPA, so help me. Homecoming on the 8. 8. George Washington, with the dust-stained car used on the Alaska highway and the sideroads safely resting between decks, your roving reportet had time for a little detective work. And that's what came out.
Boss Was Real, Sure 'Nuf Indian
THE BOSS MAN on the projegt was'a real, sure 'nuf Indian, all right, and the workers were Indians. Nevertheless, it was a WPA deal. After the very beautiful post office was completed here, there weren't enough roads to make more work, so the WPA set em to carving totem poles. Some of the poles, residents here maintain, actually are “restorations.” But more of them are strictly New Deal Technical director for the work was a very old Indian named Charlie Tacook.

“If it's a tragic love story, they get more.” The Motion Picture Association insists it does not measure kisses. Most studios do, if only from curiosity, * “There never has been any limit on kiss footage,” a Johnston Office spokesman said. “That is an old Hollywood legend, like the one that we have a rule against tight sweaters. We don’t.”
Sound Eliminates Minute Marathons
THE CENSORS do demand that kisses, and sweaters, be in good taste. This, and the advent of sound, eliminates those minute marathons, “You can’ imagine,” Mr. Marker shuddered, “how a 12-foot kiss sounds.” Like maybe an octopus crawling into a rain barrel. The longest kiss in movie history was between John Barrymore and Dolores Costello in “The Sea Beast,” mercifully silent. The record of the footage is lost, but Mr. Bartysmare kissed Miss Costello until audiences wanted to tiptoe dut apd leave them alone. Mr. Barrymore always insisted he was framed. He said he and Miss Costello exchanged five or six decorous kisses. The cutter spliced them all into one which left them there so long the customers thought they were Siamese twins. The cutter was not Mr. Marker.
