GIs’Storm Marilyn's Stage
WITH MARILYN IN KOREA, Korea, Feb. 18-W-Btone-fUaglag
American soldiers rioted Wednesday to their eagerness to see actress
Marilyn Monroe and one Infantryman was trampled by a mob push-
ing forward to see toe blonde beauty.
Six thousand soldier* of toe C.8. 46th Division staged the wildest
demonstration yet teen to Miss Monroe's three-day “something for
toe boys" tour of Korea. •
Midway through the 46-miaute soldier show that preceded Miss
Monroe’s five-minute act, the huge crowd began to become unruly.
They started to boo the soldiers’ entertainment efforts. 8ome spec-
tator* burled rocks onto the stage.
“Britt on Marilyn, bring on Marilyn.1* the crowd chanted.
When the hall of rocks became too heavy, Army authorities stop-
ped the preliminary show.
Then the, famous calendar beauty appeared, clad in a skin-tight
purple dress that revealed muck of her famous figure.
The mob stormed toward the stage.
At this point, one soldier was trampled to the, rush. He was
rescued by hi* friends and removed to an Army ambulance.
The extent of , hit injurim and his condition could not he imme-
diately learned.
Marilyn sang three aongs, hut the shout, and cries from the crowd
nearly drowned eat her voice, even over the powerful public address
system. '
At the end of her shod, ’Marilyn was surrounded protectively by
members of toe soldier show.
