Shirley Temple Enjoys First Film Freedom Since Age Four By BOB THOMAS Hollywood, June 21 m The long film career of 22-year-old Shirley Temple has passed another milestone. She is now her own boss. The former screen moppet ended her contract with Producer David O. Selznick and now will make her own decisions. It is the first time she has been able T to decide her film fate and she says she's enjoying it immensely. "I've read six scripts In two weeks," she crowed. "I'm hav ing I lot of fun." From the age of four, Shirley has always had her scripts pick ed for her. She reigned as the crown princess of 20th Fox for nine years and brought in mil lions for the studio by doing what she was told to do. Her box office pull began to drop when she outgrew the "cute little girl'' roles and in 1941 she parted with the studio. After a couple of pictures for MGM and Edward Small she signed with Selznick. The producer brought her back to popularity, not as a moppet but as a shapely young woman. Unlike Ingrid Berg nan, Joan Fontaine and some of the other rebellious Selznick stars, Shirley seemed contented under the producer's control. There were never any public arguments and the parting, said Shirley was a friendly one. I asked her what kind of pic tures she wants, now that she is a free agent. "Anything with a good story," she answered. "I have found two that I like. One is on the 'Rebecca' side and the other Is about a young movie star. Both are for major studios. And there is a chance that I may play a Japanese girl in a picture for an independent producer." She disclosed that she had an offer to sign a term contract with Warners. She turned it down. "It's more fun to make your own decisions if they are good ones," she remarked. Shirley appeared to be enjoy ing her romantic independence as well. Her boy friend from Hawaii, ' Charles Black, is in town and they are still dating. "I'm very happy," she com mented, without elaboration, Dallas Tax Lew Passes Easily .Dallas A $113,791.89 tax levy above the six per cent -limitation for Dallas school dis trict No. 2 for 1950-51 was ap proved by a wide margin at the school election Monday. -Of 137 votes cast, only 22 were in opposition to the levy.

Insurance Firm In the Pentagon Washington, June 20 W House investigators received tes timony today that a private in surance group was organized at the Pentagon and operated from there, making use of govern ment telephones. The witness, former Maj. Gen. William H. Kasten, said the group was founded in 1946 with the approval of Gen Dwight D. Eisenhower, then army chief of staff. Kasten retired army chief of finance, is now the $12,000-a- year secretary-treasurer of the insurance organization, known as the Armed Forces Mutual Benefit association. The association's membership is limited to army officers. It is now a $44,300,000 concern. Kasten testified before a house armed forces subcommittee checking into the organization and operation of the association as part of its Investigation of al leged irregularities at the army finance center in St. Louis. Kasten has been criticized ore- viously by a house civil service committee on grounds that he managed an insurance business for two years before he left the army. He told the armed forces com mittee that the association, with high ranking army officers as directors, was organized on Dec. 5, 1946 "with the knowledge and approval of the chief of staff." Kasten said the association was assigned one room and use of government telephone, first in the finance section's quarters near the Pentagon and then in the Pentagon itself after the sec tion moved there. He denied he used his regular duty time for its management. but said he did work at nights and over week-ends. He said the association paid for stationary and postage and for secretarial help. The association moved from the Pentagon to its own offices in a Washington office build ing in Jan. 1949, he said. It now has an office staff of six.

Angel, has been presented the 'Constructive Breeder Award" by the Ayrshire Breeders' association. In order to qualify for this honor, which is considered the most coveted prize in dairy cattle circles, it is necessary for the herd to excell in production and type, and in addition, a high percentage of the herd must have been bred and developed by the owner. The herd has been given an of ficial classification score of .843 which places it among the top 10 of the breed on type charac teristics. Ten members of the herd were designated as "Very Good', which is the second high est score given any Ayrshire. On a strictly twice-a-day milk ing schedule, the entire milking herd of 20 head averaged 10,194 pounds of 4 per cent milk.
