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.

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. A plaque was award
ed to George Hopkins for best
set direction for this Aim.
Cartoons "Two Mouseket
eers." MGM.

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

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

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."
