going on between the crooner
and his wife, Dixie, but said they

"There's always rumblings going
on between Bing and Dixie. But
they haven't signed any settle
ment papers yet.
Return Awaited
"Nothing can be done until
Bing gets back from Europe in
June."
Rumors of a legal separation
between the world's most famous
crooner and his pretty blonde
wife of 20 years have been pop
ping up all over town.
"If they do split up," Larry
added, "I hope they make It a
legal separation Instead of a di
vorce. Bing's a Catholic. Dixie
is not."

Get Along,
Crosby was ust an obscure
singer in the Rhythm Boys trio
when he met Dixie Lee, a rising
young actress,
"I'd never marry a playboy,"
she told him.
She changed her mind, how.
ever, reportedly after hearing
Crosby croon "I Surrender
Dear." They were married Sept.
29, 1930, to the astonishment of
the movie colony, which felt
Crosby would never amount to
much.
The first of their four son,
Gary Evans, was born June 27,
1933. The others are Philip Lang
and Dennis Michael, twins born
July 13. 1934. and Lindsay Har
ry. born Jan. 5, 1938. Three Of
the bovs already have made
their crooning debuts on their
old man s radio program
Family Left Behind
Crosby, apparently a devoted
family man, spent much time
with his boys. The family fre
quently went to their ranch near
Ely, Nev., or their Carmel, Cal.,
home adjacent to the Pebble
Besch solf course,
He left the bunch behind,
however, when he sailed in
April for a "bachelor" trip to
Eurone.
"Dixie was a little mad," he
admitted when he left
Crosby spent April In Paris
and planned to be in fcngiana
late in May for the British ama
teur golf tournament.

New Jobs Needed
To Keep Pace with
Bigger Labor Force
Washington, May 9 (U.R)
American business will have to
spend $500 million a month to
create enough new jobs to keep
pace with the growing labor
force, the U. S. Chamber of
Commerce said today.
It estimated that 50,000 new
jobs must be created at 510.000
each every month to employ
jobseekers.
Citing the "important role"
played by the businessman, the
chamber said he is neither the
governor nor director of the econ
omy but is "thought" of more
realistically as a "go-between
agent."
Emphasis Placed
"He assembles manpower, ma
terials and machinery and organ
izes them into a productive unit
catering to the free choice of his
customers." it said.
The chamber placed great em
phasis on the government's role
of encouraging business enter
prise. "Government policy and the
attitude of leading government
officials," it said, "may be far
more important in determining
economic growth and progress
than is commonly realized by
government officials them
selves ..."

Year Extension of
Rent Controls Asked
Washington, May 9 (U.R)
Rent Director Tighe E. Woods
urged a one-year extension of
federal rent controls today, say
ing there would be an "intoler
able rise" in rents if controls are
permitted to lapse after June 30.
Woods also said no relief is in
sight for millions of low and
middle-income families who "so
desperately" need housing. He
said most housing construction
since the war has been priced
to meet the needs of higher-income
families.
A few years ago, a test well proved there hi oil under the great Con
tinental Shelf that extends out into the Gulf of Mexico, and although
the well did not produce much, it started one of the most unusual
and expensive drilling programs in history.
So far, in the search for underwater oil, aerea drilling platforms
have been built, similar to the one above, as far as 10 miles ofTshore
and in water as much as 65 feet deep. They are set 00 tubular steel
pilings driven 250 feet through the ocean's bottom, for they must be
strong enough to withstand Gulf hurricanes.
The story behind this operation is the story of risk. ..and of deter
mination to do everything possible to find oil for the growing needs
of motorists, farms and indutmcs. Each underwater field costs millions
of dollars more than any of equal size drilled on land, and although
oil has been found, not enough has been produced yet to repay more
than small fraction of the costs.
Meanwhile, the money being risked is creating many jobs, spread
ing tti hundreds of large and small businesses ... and helping to keep
our economy free, competitive and wrong.
Tenth Family in
Need of Fire Help
Local Red Cross workers
made a plea today for the help
of another burned-out family in
the community. This is the 10th
family which has lost its entire
belongings by homes burning
this season.
In this case, dishes, especially
cups, saucers and plates, pillows,
stoves of any kind, and beds are
l,adly :icut Other household
items, they added, could be used.
Since the service has no way
of storing supplies or equipment,
and because there have been the
largest number of such calls in
the history of the service here,
the help is especially needed, it
was said.
The workers stated they have
tried to help every one of the
families which have come to
their attention. Response to the
other calls have been gratifying,
they said. However, more assist
ance is now needed.
Those having contributions
are asked to call the Red Cross
office, Medford 2-4405. Since
storage facilities are not avail
able they are asked to leave their
telephone number or address, 30
the items may be picked up.

Governor Requests
Oregonians to
Eat More Turkey
Salem, Ore., May g UJ!)
Gov. Douglas McKay asked Ore
gonians to eat more turkey to
bolster one of Oregon's important
industries.
McKay aid Oregon's S10 mil
lion turkey industry is in jeop
ardy, with fresh turkeys retail
ing for as little as 9 cents a
pound. Said the governor:
"In comparison with other
meat prices we have known in
the past 10 years, turkeys are
about the best buy we have
seen. I certainly do not intend
to prescribe to anyone's diet but
it seems to me that the big fowl
constitute a bargain that the
housewife, seeking cheap yet
delicious food, would find hard
to pass up."
Recession Alarming
McKay expressed alarm over
what he called a recession in
Oregon turkey business in recent
vears. He said income has fal
len from $19,218,000 in 1945 to
$9,927,000 last year. In the same
period Oregon s turkey popula
tion fell from more than 3 mil
lion to 1,593,000.
McKay said he was speaking
of meat birds, because in the mat
ter of hatching stock Oregon is
still holding an enviable posi
tion.
Free Beer Finally
Solves Many Thefts
Philadelphia (U.R) Knitting
mill owners suspected more
than moths lay behind the dis
appearance of $2,500 worth of
sweaters.
Detectives found the sweaters
had been disappearing in drib
lets for nearly three months, but
could not figure out how. They
settled down to a policy of
watchful waiting and were re
warded when they stopped a
man leaving the plant with a
Dackage containing eight sweat
ers. The "mystery" cleared up i
then. He explained he and some j
friends had been buying the j
sweaters by trading beers to a
thirsty night watchman. j
The watchman, 61 -year -old
James Rafferty, was charged
with larceny and removed from
further temptation.
It has been estimated that pre
historic Indians lived from about j
400 to 1400 A. D. in the area now j
set aside as the Petrified Forest
National monument in Arizona.
