Marilyn Monroe, said Wednesday
she has at least yielded with
strong reservations to the seduc

Miss Dors, a spectacular plati-

the movie "I Married A Woman."
She sain she intend. In treat llnllv.

Dumb Blonde
Miss Dors made her mark in
Brtisih films as a dumb blonde,
usually clad to expose the greatest
expanse of Diana commensurate
with the qualms of Britain's rather
liberal movie censorship. Recently,
however, she got rave notices play
ing the dramatic role of a killer
condemned to hang In "Yield To
The Night."
"I am not going to Hollywood in
need, of fame or fortune.'' said
Diana. "It will he fun working
there and I hope the film will help
me to become an international
star. But I have made my reputa
; tion and money in England, so
I don't have to go begging to any

Steps to market to the public '
the first bonds under the agree

ty Public Utility District and four
New York and Chicago brokerage
firms got under way.
Shortly before Tuesday mid
night, representatives of the firms 1
and the Grant PL'D initialed an
agreement under which the firms;
will buy 166 million dollars in
bonds to ay (or the long-planned
Priest Rapids dam.
The signers said the bonds
would go on sale through 192 firms
over the nation at $990 per $1,000
bond. The dam. an 8.412-foot con

will be at a site about 30 miles
east of Yakima.
Work to Start
Initial construction work by
Merritt - Chapman and Scott, of
New York, whose bid of $91, 878,
62S had been accepted previously
should get under way -shortly.
PUD spokesman said.
The big bond issue was de
scribed by the principals as the
largest ever authorized in the Pa
cific Northwest. It will also pay
! the preliminary expenses for the
companion Wanapum Dam, to be
built later a short distance up the
Columbia.
Tuesday evening, as a final pre
liminary, the Grant PUD com
missioners reached agreements at
Tacoma with the 12 other. Wash
ington and Oregon public and pri
vate utilities which will buy the
dam's 630,000 kilowatts of power.
Access Road
The four bond houses handling
the issue were John Nuvccn k
Co. of Chicago and the New York
firms of Halsey-Stuart, B. J. van
Ingen and Blythe & Co.
First step toward building the
dam will be construction of an
access road on the cast bank of
the Columbia, PUD officials said.
The actual building contract for
the dam will be the largest ever
awarded in the Pacific Northwest,
they said. Other dams have been
huilt at a greater cost, but through
a series of smaller contracts, of
