The- pressure, to make two types of changes gener ally, will come from union and management people. Pres sure against such changes will come from some union and management representatives on the other side of the fence. This is how it looks now : Under the guaranteed wage plans embodied in the ew auto industry contracts, a laid-bff worker is to re vive payments both from the state and from special ' funds to be set up by the industry. Many states have laws that now prohibit su.h a double-payment plan. But the CIO United Auto Workers and Henry Ford II both have said they anticipate little trouble in getting such laws changed. I no real fight looms over now much the states are .willing to pay in unemployment benefits. The higher the state payments are, the less the auto industry will have to pay from its own pocket to bring lay-off benefits up to 60 to 65 per cent of normal Uike-home pay as provided in the new contracts. CIO President Walter Iteuthor said one of the major benefits he expected from the guaranteed wage agree ment was that it will put management and the unions on the same side in lobbying for higher unemployment ben efits from tho states. All wage earners, not just auto workers, would benefit from this. When unemployment compensation laws were first enacted they gave, workers about 50 per cent of their normal pay during lay-offs. But wages have gone up and unemployment benefits haven't risen so much. On the average, an unemployed worker now gets about a third of his normal pay from the state. In many states it is much lower than a third. High, benefits in some states, like Michigan where the weekly benefit is $5-1, keep tho national average high. Around Detroit, speculation about the-future of the guaranteed wage has already extended to 1958, when the new auto industry contracts expire. Reulher has de clared he and his union will be asking for more in '58 With tho principle of the guaranteed wage now set up, tho uuion hereafter will be seeking to increase the amount an idle worker will receive. The 60 to 65 per cent now guaranteed him is a far cry from the ideal of 100 per cent. The prospect of higher and higher unemployment compensation has many men in the auto industry wor ried. Henry Ford II, who was the first to yield a guaian , teed wage plan to employes, summed up the fears this way : "Wo don't want to reach the point where a fellow would be just as happy to loaf and draw unemployment compensation as he would be to work." Then there's this side of the picture: Many employers are averse to paying into unemploy ment compensation funds just to help auto workers get higher benefits. These will be expected to oppose the changes. Oregon so far is not involved, since apparently there are not any workers in the state who are covered under the UAW's plan negotiated already with I'ord and CM. Oregon, however, may some day be faced with the possibility of getting a big automobile payroll in the state if the laws are changed. Oregon legislators th will he under tremendous pressure to make changes in the law. Whether or not the pressure from the other side will be able to counterbalance it remains to be seen.

Presenting tho case for passion is Elsa Martinelli, described by Johnson as "an uninhibited, sexy Italian model." The Martinelli girl, who plays opposite Kirk Douglas in "The Indian Fighter," displayed some of the qualities mentioned when the company was on location in Central Oregon, filming the CinemaScope . Western. The movie columnist mentions Grace Kelly as typical of a cron of cool , genteel dolls being groomed for stardom these dajs who could qualify for the front row in Vassar's graduating class Here's more: "But with tne exception of Grace herself, says Kirk Douglas, the dolls with college degrees, classic features and t rained-for-tea pink ies will fizzle and fade.

"bays Kirk: in the long run I think film fans will pay to see passion rattier than polish.'

Kut fire permits will not be necessary on the lVs chtltes this year. And anglers have their own ideas as to where they want to fish. Hunters seasonally swarm into the woods by the tens of thousands, and they are hunting- for bucks, not rangers. So raug-ers havo been moved by the 1". S.
