"Bergman said today she would
'finish work on the film she is
; making in Italy and then join
.her husband, Dr. Peter Lind
"llrom, either In the U.S. or
.Sweden.
" In a statement issued by the
Ckome office of RKO Pictures.
''Miss Bergman said she was
vnaklng the announcement "for
'the protection of my family."
J Lindstrom flew from Holly
aood, where he practices sur
gery, to Italy last week, after
insistent rumors of a romance
between the Swedish-born film
Utar and her Italian director-
partner, Roberto Rossellini.
Z The statement was aimed at
putting an end to the specula
tion about a romance. There
rhad been reports that Miss
JBergman would divorce Dr.
c Lindstrom to marry Rossellini,
the ace Italian director of such
'films as "Paisan" and "Open
"City."
The statement came in the
form of a cable from Miss Berg
jman at Messina, Sicily, to
-RKO's office here. In it she said
"the had met at Messina with
Rossellini and her husband.
J The actress said she would
r return to Stromboll Wednesday

The planned development of
regional resources by a CVA is
necessary, he said, .to provide
the farms, heavy industries and
service jobs to feed and employ
these people.
Bloch rapped at "channeliz
ing," by which 34 agencies
of the federal government
ceive tax moneys to develop or
conserve resources in the
northwest Established bureaus
jealously guard their "owner
ships of Jurisdiction" and view
their own programs with "pro
fessional astigmatism," he de
clared.
He cited three almost identl
cal surveys made of the waters
of the upper Colorado river. In
a series of charts he indicated
the skein of overlapping func
tions and agencies.
Denying that a regional ad
ministration could be a super
state, Bloch said the most re
cent tVA Dill, S-1B45, was
drawn to organize existing
functions of government, the
only new power being the ac
quisitlon without condemnation
of existing electric utility sys
tems.
In the recent past, he con
tinued, seven out of 10 people
in the northwest depended on
the forests for their income.
Because oi tms, he said, "we
have two to three times the un
employment of the national av
erage." Although 60 percent of
the phosphate deposits of the
nation are in the northwest, he
said, only 5 percent of this is
being utilized. This and other
industries depend on cheap fuel,
and "we have no oil, gas. oi
easily mineable coal," he said.
indicating the need for dam
ming the Columbia for power
in addition to flood control.
Bloch was for 12 years with
the rural electrification admin
istration, the national resources
planning board, Bonneville, and
special assistant to Secretary of
the Interior Krug, and In the
northwest studied problems of
soil and water conservation and
hydroelectric power.
The future program of the
League of Women Voters will
include Edwin J. Barry, execu
tive secretary of the Portland
Urban league, who will discuss
the Oregon and the national
FEPC bills on June 7; Dr. Blair
Stewart, professor of economics
at Reed college, on the evalu
ation of planning against "boom
or bust cycles, on June 21;
and Dr. M. K. Crothers and Dr.
John Radamaker, professor of
sociology at Willamette, who
will debate national health in
surance at an evening meeting
at a place to be decided on July

Rains Deluge
Polk Nimrods
Dallas Fishermen's faces
were long indeed in this area
on Sunday when steady rain
made Polk county creeks ram
pant and muddy. As a result,
anglers had little luck on open
ing day of the season.
Largest fish known to be
caught in the county was one
that measured 16 inches. The
cutthroat trout was hooked in
Mill creek near Buell by Eavl
Daniels of Dallas. He received
a $10 merchandise prize from
Foster's home and auto supply
store for the achievement.
Best luck was experienced
probably on the Valsetz mill
pond for those intrepid enough
to stand a wetting to the skin.
Some reported limit catches, but
few had the courage to brave
the 4.86 inches of rain that fell
from Saturday evening through
24-hour period.
Randolph Butler, official
weather observer of the logging
community, measured the rain
at that figure, considerably
more than Brookings which re
ceived widespread publicity for
having the most rain in a 24
hour period for any place in
Oregon this year.
The Valsetz rain came after
the driest April on record, But
ler states.
Rae Domaschofsky of Dallas
caught a nice 12 inch cut
throat in the Valsetz pond and
his brother. Rex, snared one
nearly as big.
Very little came from the tur
bulent Rickreall, favorite open
ing day haunt for many from
the kids who fish with hazel
switches to the veterans who
use every lure known to the
sport.
'Wreckage' Is
Patch of Snow
Yreka, Calif- May 4 U.
Wreckage" believed to be that
of a small private plane missing
four months with three t-anior-nia
and Oregon lumber execu
tives aboard turned out today to
be nothing but a patch of half
melted snow and bare ground.
A ground rescue party reach
ed the spot in the mountains 40
miles west of Yreka where Ham
burg. Calif., Postmaster George
Martin reported he sighted the
wreck of a missing Beechcraft.
The party reported back that
what appeared to be a fuselage
of a plane hanging in a tree
about four miles from Hamburg
was an illusion caused by a curiously-shaped
patch of bare
ground against a snowy back
drop.
The plane being sought dis
appeared last December in the
general area carrying Paul D.
Starr, EWN president of the P.
D. Lumber Corp., Southgate,
Calif., his brother, Robert, 34,
and Miss Ruth Meyer, 34, Port
land lumber broker.
Veteran Killed by
High Voltage Line
Richard A. Mueller, 25, son
of Mr. and Mrs. Otto M. Muel

with a crew removing limbs
from trees near power lines.
Mueller was born at Lusk
Wyo., July 21, 1923, and after
graduating from high school at
White Lake, S. D., in 1942, came

army air corps Dec. 14, 1942,
and received his commission as

Tex., the following year. After
leaving the service in 1945 he
attended Oregon State college
for a time.
Besides his parents he is sur
vived by a sister and two broth
ers. Arrangements are in charge
of the DeMoss-Youngblood fu
neral home at Corvallis.
