Agenda May Force Methodist Meeting To Extend Closure San Francisco (U.R) Metho dist delegates to their church's quadrennial general conference virtually buried by an ava lanche of some 1,600 reports may be forced to extend their meeting beyond the scheduled Wednesday closing date, offic ials said Monday.

Some were sched uled in first order of business Monday when delegates renew debate on proposals to stream line Methodist organizations. Other recommendations will be considered Tuesday and Wednesday by the 720 lawmak ers for 10,000,000 Methodists. Some leaders said the session might be extended to give time for full discussion of the reports.

Actress Shocked Because Of Lack of Appreciation By French Over Nude Role Cannes, France (U.R) Swedish actress Ulla Jakobsson was shocked and tearful Satur day because Frenchmen don't like her in the nude. "Why are Frenchmen so sur prised," she asked in bewilder ment after the furore raised by the showing of her first movie, "One Summer of Happiness" In which she appears unclothed. Not Thought Extraordinary The 19-year-old actress said she was dumbfounded . by the whole thing. She plays one en tire sequence in the nude in the arms of an equally uninhib ited lover and said "nobody thought the scene was extraor dinary" when the film appeared in Stockholm. Ulla, a natural blonde who wears practically no makeup, has become the undisputed queen of the 1952 film festival since the picture was shown. But she is hurt by criticism. . She broke down and wept when the storm broke. She Was Embarrassed "Oh, I was so embarrassed by all the attention they gave me," she said. Ulla said she had read in a French newspaper that Swedish youths and girls bathe together in the raw all the time. "That's not true. In the bath houses there are different sides for men and women," she said. "But ... if it should happen that a group of young folk find themselves by a deserted lake or seashore on a hot summer's day, that might be a different mat ter. And no one would . be shocked. "Isn't It the same other places?"
