Jean Hagen May Reach Top
Despite Her Loquaciousness
By VIRGINIA MacPHERSON
Hollywood, Feb. 18 (U.R) It's beginning to look like Jean
Hagen may get some place in Hollywood in spite of her one big
fault that she talks too much.
This isn't xactly a rare failing among actresses. But Miss
Kagen's the only one who owns up to it.
."I shoot off my mouth tne
darndest timet," she said. "Just
the other day I told 8 director
the lead he had in mind for me
was a stinker. I said I'd rather
have the small part."
That poor man was so confu
sed he gave it to her. And that,
seems like, is the only thing that
saves Miss Hagen. When she
speaks her mind people get so
befuddled they forget to fire
her.
That's how she crashed the
acting business in the first place.
"I was ushering at a Broad
way show," she explained. "And
I didn't think much of the lead
ing lady I had to watch every
night."
She didn't think much, but she
said plenty. In a voice that
eventually echoed backstage,
Miss Hagen let it be known that,
in her opinion, whoever told
that gal she could act could and
should be sued for slander.
The playwrights, Ben Heeht
and Charles MacArthur, called
her in to hear her sentiments
in person. They got 'em. And
Miss Hagen got a date to try out
for a stage career herself.
"I was so proud," she said,
"I almost burst."
Her appendix did. , On the
very day of the try-out. Hecht
and MacArthur weren't conduc
ting bedside auditions that week,
but Miss Hagen later talked her
self into a couple of Broadway
roles and a chance to star in
summer stock.
The next day she broke her
leg.
"No sense of timing," she said.
"So, while I was stuck with my
leg in a cast, I got married."
That was a ceremony such as
no producer would dare put on
file. There was the bride being
carried piggy-back by the groom,
Tom Seidel, before a justice of
the peace, a gent who doubled
as an optometrist between wed
dings.
"Big eyes were staring at me
from every wall," Miss Hagen
says, "I didn't know whether
I was getting married or fitted
for spectacles."
The honeymoon was pretty
hectic, too. They went on
fishing trip to Canada, cast and
all. And after toting the Missus
and her cement hoof around for
three weeks, young Seidel came
back a very tired man.
But there was a Broadway role
waiting for his bride and Hoi
lywood was next. That was only
six months ago. Since then she's
breezed through three top-budget
MGM epics.'

Sfeen Fights
Brannan Plan
'Agriculture's tomorrow will
be a dismal day if we sacrifice
a sensible, long-range farm pro
gram for socialized agriculture,"
said Oregon Farm Bureau Presi
dent Lowell Steen at the U. S.
Hop Growers' meeting in Salem.
Attacking socializing measures
of the "Brannan Plan,v Steen
listed seven reasons why the
American Farm Bureau federa
tion has vigorously opposed the
measure. (1) Fair prices in
stad of subsidies is Farm Bur
eau's aim. (2) Cost of Bran-
nan's plan would necessitate
igio controls on farmers. 3
The plan is designed to sub
sidize the nation's arocerv hill
t) ue plan would nationalize
agriculture in the end. (5)
limiting the size of farms would
put a ceiling on opportunity.
(6) The plan would saerifirp
the fair - exchange concept of
parity, (7) The political ap
proach in presentine the nlsn
;has jeopardized the bi-partisan
approach to the development of
rarm policy. .
"The American Farm Bureau
received universal acclaim for
blocking the Brannan plan in
me iaat session of congress, but
the threat is not over The ad
ministration vill not give up
until it has saddled Amerirnn
farmers with the Brannan plan

for your patience
Thanks for your cooperation and understanding
during the recent cold spell. Its worst period brought
us the most damaging storm suffered in this area
in 20 years! lee, snow and falling trees caused
thousands of breaks in PGE lines. At one time ser
vice to an estimated 15,000 of PGE's customers was
disrupted,
PGE's experienced repair crews worked night
and day. They worked in freezing weather on ice
coated poles, handling high-voltage lines and risking
their lives to restore electric service as quickly as
humanly possible. Emergency crews and equip
ment were rushed in from other parts of PGE's ex
tended system to speed repair. It was a big job the
biggest in 20 years and we did our very best
Again, we extend wholehearted thanks to all of
our customers for their patience and appreciation of
the tremendous job that had to be done.
