Mrs. Harvey Picker, wife of an Industrialist, mother of two teen age daughters, states her view of women's role in the world's fu ture in this way: "Apparently half the world is manpower, half woman power. This gives us equal responsibility, "I feel strongly that American women who are provided finan cial security by their husbands should get on at the job of work ing toward International under standing." . Number Crows Statistically, she said, a lot of women and men have heeded the call. Mrs. Picker estimated that "today there are some $50 big organizations working for peace. Ten years ago, it wasn't even respectable." Mrs. Picker, of Quaker heri tage, is active in 12 organizations Working toward world peace. "The only way I don't got con fused Is to keep a briefcase, for each group," slie said, with a laugh. The organizations Include the Committee of Correspondence, Inc., the Institute for Interna tional Order, and the Quaker- Sponsored Committee tot Inter national Friendly Visits.

Figures given on new budget SALEM (UPI) The general fund budget adopted by the 19(13 legislature totaled W04,259,292, Freeman Holmer, director of the Department of Finance and Ad ministration, said today. This compared with the $405, 269.737 recommended by the gov ernor last Dec. 1. During the ses sion the governor's recommenda tion was adjusted to 1403,870.909 because of changes in institution populations, a revised school rrn in, and c h a n g es in federal matching ratios. Holmer said the legislature In creased general fund expendi tures over the adjusted recom mendations by a net amount of $388,383. He said the chief Increase was the substitution of $11,500,000 in general fund expenditures for higher education buildings, in lieu of the recommended expenditure from bond revenues. Other significant increases In cluded $676,000 additional for the legislative assembly and an addi tional $450,000 for the State Emer gency Hoard. Holmer said the chief reduction was In basic school support, where it was decided to use cur rent revenues of the common school fund instead of investing them. This reduced general fund requirements for 1963-fii by $6,- Any change in series is improvement By Rick Du Brow UPI Staff Writer HOLLYWOOD (UPI) - ABC- TV's "Ozzie and Harriet" tried something different Thursday night. It wasn't a bad notion. Any change in tliis scries is an improvement. The notion was to put on a special half-hour of mostly music, and the best thing about it is that singers Bud and Travis, Jennie Smith and the Brothers Four kept the usual cast off tho screen for a while. Except Harriet, who is still a nifty gal. Unfortunately, the vocalizing al so included one of the regulars, Kicky Nelson, who insists on try ing to sing in public. Arthur Godfrey is sitting In this week as host of NBC-TV's "To night" show while Johnny Carson is on vacation, and it wouldn't be a tragedy if Carson missed a connection on his way back. Earlier this season, Godfrey did three eminently forgettable CBS TV specials, and in them he laid on the commercial folksiness style to an offensive degree. But the worst tiling about them was their unfairness to him: The whole point about him is that his appeal is not special, but, as indicat ed here before, like that of an old shoe, with its case. Tho nights that I caught God frey as tho "Tonight" host this week, he had shed the profession al hick approach, and tho result was flattering to him and made this old Godfrey radio fan thank ful, for when he is swinging free and easy, he is the old master. The man belongs back on tele vision on a daily, informal basis. He doesn't need specials.

For FAST RESULTS Advertise in The Bulletin Classified STILLBIRTHS CHICAGO (UPI) Shorter American women aro more prone to stillbirths than their taller sis ters, according to a report in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Lr. Jack B. Bressler of Boston University reported he studied 272 women during a three-year period at Providenco, R. I., Lying-in Hos pital. Of the group, 12 gave birth to stillborn infants and all 12 were less than five feet, six inches tall. Tlie study was based on similar findings reported from Scotland. its highest point since 1940. This helped to push up the na tional unemployment rate to 5.9 per cent of the labor lorce a rise of .2 from April after allow ance for the usual seasonal trends. New government figures re leased Thursday showed 4,066,000 Americans looked for jobs and could not find them in May. This figure held steady although it normally drops by 200,000 or more at this time of year. Employment rose by 850,000 to a May record of 69,061,000. But the spurt in teen-age job lessness an increase of 300,000 to 1.2 million last month was re garded by Wirtz as the critical weak spot in the economy. One of every four jobless Americans is a teen-ager. Manpower expert Harold Gold stein explained that the size of the teen labor force was swollen be cause the "war babies" born dur ing or immediately after World War II now were grown up and seeking work. This increase occurs at a time when new technology in industry is reducing the number of open ings for youths who do not pos sess special skills, he said. Wirtz called lor broader train ing programs, improved schooling to cut the dropout rate and an end to racial discrimination to drive down the number of t h e teen-age jobless. Man with ihree artificial heart Yalves released PORTLAND (UPI)- A 30-year- old Portland man who made medi cal history Feb. 21 when three artificial valves were inserted in his heart went home from the University of Oregon Medical School Thursday. Virgu Roberts said he planned to take it easy until his doctors tell him he can go back to work. He said he expects to return to his job with the Multnomah Coun ty Parks and Memorials Depart ment in about a year. A team of surgeons headed by Dr. Albert Starr implanted the valves to replace damaged aortic, mitral and tricuspid valves. Dr. Starr was assisted by Drs.

The upshot is that Cliff's future is as bright as any m rioiiywooa. Until he landed "PT 109" Rob ertson was mired in pictures so poor that even he refused to go see them, along with hundreds of millions of people the world over. "Playing the President has got me out of the subterranean layer of acting." the handsome star ex plained. " PT 109 was ine nrsi- stage rocket I needed to put me into orbit. It has made all the difference in the world to my career." Cliff had been making such lousy movies that he had a formu la for saving face three very fine television shows to make up for each wretched movie. "That's the only thing that kept me alive for a while," Robert son said between scenes of MGM's "Sunday In New York." "PT 109" won't be released un til next month, but enough big wigs in Hollywood have seen the war epic to be convinced that Robertson is the greatest tiling to come along since TV dinners. His performance was enough to inspire Metro to co-star him in his current picture, after which he will rush into "Squadron 633" and "The Best Man." Few actors are in more demand that Robert son, who lost 18 pounds while portraying JFK. "I met the President after making the picture," Cliff said. "He was very gracious and kind to me, and he said he liked the movie. "For some reason everyone I talk to now wants to know if I'm a Democrat or a Republican. So I'm not giving out any infor mation on the subject now."
