ANNUAL FILM AWARDS i Bogart Wins Academy Award, Still Considers It 'Nonsense' By ALINE Hollywood, Calif. (U.R) Hum phrey Bogart said today he had n't changed his opinion that Academy awards don't prove anything even though he won an Oscar last night in one of the biggest upsets in Holly wood history. It was no surprise however, when English actress Vivien Leigh became a two-time Oscar winner with an award for her role as a faded beauty in "A Streetcar Named Desire." Her supporting players, Kim Hunter and Karl Walden, won the coveted gold trophies as ex pected, too. The star-studded crowdf at the 24th annual awards presentation gasped and applauded when Bo gart nosed out favored candidate Marlon Brando to snare the awards for playing a gin-soaked riverboat captain in "The Afri can Queen." Truckers Given Rate Increase Washington P) The Inter- Elate Commerce Commission on Thursday approved the full six per cent rate increase sought by Pacific Northwest motor freight carriers. The increase, matching a rate hike approved for Western rail roads last year, was authorized for some 250 trucking companies belonging to the Pacific Inland Tariff Bureau and operating in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, California and Utah. It is effective on one day's no tice to customers. In granting the full six per cent rate boost, the ICC over ruled an examiner who had re commended four per cent and the Office o Price Stabilization which had asked the commission to hold any increase to not more than two per cent. The ICC said the" carriers had proved their case for a six per cent advance on the basis of in creased costs for labor and ma terials in the past year. Republican Women Plan Organization Aurora Thirty-one persons gathered in the Women's Civic hall, Canby, during the week to hear Mrs. Roy Bishopp, presi dent of the Republican Wom en's Federation of Portland, speak, and to formulate plans to organize a Canby-Aurora unit of the federation. Organization will be perfect ed after the state convention in Portland, which Mrs. J. J. Emrich will attend from here. The meeting, this week, was arranged by Mrs. J. R. Vin yard of Canby, with Mrs. A. W. Meyers of Jennings Lodge introducing Mrs. Bishop. Two candidates, R. R. Cooke of Estacada, for county commis sioner, and Miss Shirley Field of Portland, for joint represen tative, were present. Hostesses with Mrs. Vinyard for the St. Patrick's tea were Mrs. G. W. White, Mrs. W. H. Bair, Mrs. Bertha Lee, Mrs. D. G. Clark, Mrs. George Catt ley, Mrs. L. A. Shaw, Mrs. W. H. Thompson, Mrs. San Amund son, Mrs. Louis Lent, Mrs. Howard C. Belton, Mrs. I. C. Nieland and Mrs. Elizabeth Per kett. Consolidation Studied San Diego, Calif. (U.R) Pos sibility was seen today of a merger of the Atlas Coporation, the Consolidated-Vultee Cor poration, and the Kaiscr-Frazer Coropration. "Legal and inde pendent engineering and financ ing experts" are studying and evaluating "the advantages and disadvantages of such a com bination, a joint statement by the heads of the three firms dis closed yesterday. The statement advised that further information on the merger would probably be announced within 30 days. The Manchus conquered China in the 17th century. Cm I (III liiiliillil 13 MOSBY Last year the movie tough guy growled in a magazine article that Oscars were a lot of non sense. But today Bogie refused to eat his words. 'I don't change anything of what I've said," he said. 'This Oscar doesn t prove I was the best actor of the year. The only honest way would be to let everybody play Hamlet and let the best man win." "Of course," he added, "you'd get some funny Hamlets that way." For the first time in several years, two of the top Oscar win ners upset the predictors. "An American in Paris " was voted by members of the Hon orary Academy of Motion Pic ture Arts and Sciences the best movie of 1951. It became the third musical ever to win ir Academy history. The critics had expected eith er "A Place in the Sun" or "A Streetcar. Named Desire." both heavy dramas, to capture t h e award. But the lightweight musical collected seven honors in all, in cluding a special award to Gene Kelly for his dancing and chore ography in the picture. Its producer, Arthur Freed, became the first producer of mu sicals to win the coveted Irving xnaiDerg award as the best mov ie maker of the year. Miss Leigh was playing Cleo patra a.uuu miles away on Broadway when her name was called on the flower-banked stage of the Pantages theater on Hollywood boulevard. I was so nervous I didn't dare think about the Oscars for fear I'd break into a southern accent, she smiled. Greer Garson accepted the Oscar for Miss Leigh. Bette Da vis, sporting a poodle haircut, took the award for Miss Hunter, also in New York. But Bogart gave tne z.biz members of the $6 to $12-a-seat audience their money's worth. "It's a long way from the Bel gian Congo to the Pantages the ater, but I'd rather be here than there," he said nervously. Later Bogart admitted he was "The Dark Horse." Maiden, a newcomer from Broadway, shyly took his Oscar and said "I haven't been here very long, so I can't say much." George Stevens was given a big ovation as he accepted an Oscar for best direction for "A Place in the Sun." The three-out-of-four sweep that "Streetcar" made of the acting awards was a new Acad emy first." The only other musicals to win the best picture Oscar were "Broadway Melody" in 1928 and "The Great Ziegfeld" in 1936. Three winners, the Streetcar players, created their roles on the stage. Miss Leigh played the shady lady in London while Maiden and Miss Hunter were members of the Broadway cast of the 1947 Pulitzer prize-winning play. Miss Leigh won her Oscar for only her third Hollywood movie. Thirteen years ago she collected a trophy for her first, "Gone With the Wind." Bogart, a first time winner, was nominated be fore for "Casablanca" and "Pet rified Forest." Other awards: Best song "In the Cool, Cool, Cool of the Evening," from Par amount's "Here Comes the Groom." Music by Hoagy Car michael, lyrics by Johnny Mer cer. Best full-length documentary, "Kon-Tiki." Best art direction, black and white film Richard Day for "A Streetcar Named Desire," War ner Bros.

Officials Worry Over Parking Portland OT City officials met here Friday to plan what to do in case mass transportation workers strike April 1. The big problem is how to handle the influx of automobiles expected in the downtown area if streetcars and busses quit run ning. City Commissioner Ormond R. Bean said there might be 30,000 drivers trying to fit themselves into 20,800 parking places. He called the police chief and traf fic engineers in to talk it over. Negotiations for a new con tract continued between the Portland Traction Company and the AFL Motor Coach Employes Union, but both sides said no way had been found to break a deadlock. Logging Industry to Discuss Many Issues Spokane, Wash. (U.R) Argu ments on two issues affecting the logging industry will be presented at the three-day in termountain logging conference beginning here Monday. The questions are "is the lum bering industry contributing more than its fair share toward the development of the national forests by sustained production of timber?" and "are highway use restrictions justified?" About 1,000 highway offi cials, regional foresters and logging representatives from Washington, Montana, Oregon, and Idaho have indicated they will take part in the discussions. Rate Increases to Household Truckers Charles H. Heltzel, Oregon public ' utilities commisisoner, granted rate increases Thursday to truckers who haul household goods. Heltzel said the boost was granted to meet increased costs. He said the amount of the in creases was short of what the truckers asked. Off-Track Betting Has Often Been Tried; Never Legalized Editor's Note: One of the effects of the senate crime committee Investigations was a plea, from some sources, for legalized gambling. The Unit ed Press surveyed the issue in a world-wide basis and starts today a three-part series re vealing these findings. By RAT (United Preu New York, (U.f9 A special committee of the New York state legislature today advo cates a "thorough" Investigation into the possibilities of legalized off-course betting. Coo Dealer Blames TV for Short Weight London (&) A coal dealer cited television Friday as the reason he short-weighted six customers. Said counsel for the defense: "The men who filled the sacks did the jobs hurriedly, as they had accepted an invitation from a housewife who was a customer to watch the King's funeral procession on her tele vision set." The dealer was fined $25.20. State Workers Seek Pay Rise Slate workers asked again Thursday for a pay boost. A 5 per cent increase was asked by the Oregon State Em ployes association in a letter to the state civil service com mission. Association Secretary Forrest V. Stewart said 63 per cent of the state's employes quit last year because they were not getting enough pay. Even more will quit now that spring work is opening up more jobs in private industry, he said. He said food costs have gone up 11 per cent since employes got their last increase in No vember, 1950. The association, which origin ally asked the increase three months ago, proposed that the boost be granted by moving each employe up two steps on the civil service scale. Garden Club Will Affiliate Keizer Garden club met March 18 with 31 present and voted to affiliate with the Sa lem Garden Council. Virgil Ballentyne and T. C. Danen were appointed delegates to the council. Ernest Iufer, well known landscape architect, discussed landscape planting in relation to the home and illustrated his talk with colored slides. Club members especially enjoyed his pungent comments on some of the errors in landscaping as illustrated. Local gardeners received much information on the way to use plant materials to get the desired tie-ins with the archi tecture of the buildings. The next meeting will be on April 15 at which time donated plants and seeds will be sold. Until the 18th century linen manufacture was one of the most extensive of European indus tries.

The second will pre sent the stand of those forces favoring legalized off-course betting. The third will present the stand of its opponents, AYBES eporti Writer) This is simply a new chap ter in an old story. In 1946 the voters of New Orleans, in a referendum, voted seven to one for legalized off- course betting, yet could not get necessary approval from the legislature. In 1950 a Denver race track tried to set up 'branch betting offices' around the state, yet was blocked by the association of track owners. Up to now, every move in the direction of legalized bet ting has been blocked. What is off-the-course bet ting? Betting at the race track legal in 24 states. Betting away from the track is legal in only one, Nevada. Off-the-course betting proponents say simply that betting, legal at the race track, should not be illegal across the street from the race track. Off-course betting is proposed in two ways. One, that the race tracks themselves be allowed to set up branch offices through out the city or state involved. Two, that bookmakers be li censed in the same manner as liquor stores and then permit led to operate independently of the race track. In France, a blend of the two systems has been in effect for years. Most of the betting is done, however, through the track's network which feeds right into the belting machine on the course. In Britain bookmakers are permitted to operate only on the track but a technicality evades this issue. The technicality is established credit. A man goes to the track and gives the bookmaker a sum of, say $50. He is permitted to write or wire or telephone the bookmaker any bets until the $50 is used up. Technically, the bet was made at the track since that's where the money was handed over to the bookie. This does not eliminate illegal gambling. It takes a rich man to be able to establish credit in lump sums. To take care of the poor man, the bookies employ "runners' who move about the city col lecting bets and delivering them to the track. These "runners" often are ar rested. But their bookie bosses pay their fines and actually are permitted to deduct these fines from their income lax as "bus iness expense."
