EIGHT MZDFORD (OREGON) Pending Blessed Event Threatens Big Backstage Battle on Berle TV Program New York (U.R) A pending blessed event threatens to turn into the biggest backstage baby battle since the famous Helen Hayes "act of God" case in 1929. Television audiences tonight will see Ruth Gilbert, the pint sized blonde who plays the part of Max, Milton Berle's love struck secretary, quit her job. Berle protests in the script, but Max quits anyway, and even in- troduces comedienne Nancy Walker as the girl who'd like to take over. That's not the way it is though. In real life, Ruth is siz zling mad that she's being dropped from the show. She is pregnant and expects her baby early in February. She says the producers' want to cancel her , contract with no promise of put ting her back on the show after the baby comes. Irving Gray, executive produ cer for Berle, admitted they were anxious for Ruth to leave the show because "she looks like she is going to have a baby." He WHY WAIT?

Helen Hayes quit the cast of "Coquette" 25 years ago be caues she was expecting a baby. The play's producer closed the show, claiming he didn't have to pay other actors their ' two weeks' notice because he was not responsible for acts of God. The board of Actors' Equity rul ed that a baby was not an act of God. Even the lines she's forced to say on tonight's show infuriate Miss Gilbert. She doesn't want the audience to think she's quit ting because she wants to.

"Suppose I'd just gained a little weight. During the course of re cent years Milton's weight has gone -from much heavier to much thinner did they fire him?

Clifford R. Hope, chairman of the House Agriculture commit tee in the 83rd Congress, said today. The Kansas Republican told the 83rd National Grange con vention there are some com modities which do not adapt themselves to direct price sup port programs. "I want to use fixed supports best when ' fixed support work best, flexible supports in areas where they work best, and mar keting orders and agreements where they work best," he said. "I want to see a fair share of the national income for agricul ture." ; Hope helped guide the flexi ble price supports program through the last Congress. He also said that the decreas ing number of persons engaged in vfarming poses a "real dan ger" for agriculture. One of the major interests of farm groups should be the de velopment of a better public re lations program aimed at in forming the public that consum ers "get more and better food today with an expenditure of a smaller percentage of their to tal income than at any other pe riod in history," he said.

Johnson gave his assurances to day that the Democrats will take a i hard look at the administra tion's defense policies when they take over Congress in January. Senate Republican . Leader William F. Knowland called for a sweeping review of U. S. de fense and foreign policies in a Senate speech late Monday. He said congressional commit tees should call in State and De f e n s e Department officials "promptly" to decide whether policy changes should be made in the light of Russia's effort to sell the world on "peaceful co existence." Stall For Time Seen "It is my belief that the Sov iet Union is advancing the Tro jan horse of coexistence only for the purpose of gaining suf ficient time to accomplish what we may term atomic stalemate," he said. Actually, however, co existence can only lead to, ev entual Communist victory, he said. There was no immediate indi cation whether the present Republican-led congressional com mittees would act on Know land's suggestion.

Should Review Budget Cuts Democratic Sens. Paul H. Douglas (111.), W. Stuart Sym ington (Mo.), and Herbert H. Lehman (N.Y.), said-one subject of review should be defense bud get cuts ordered by the admin istration. Sens. Homer Ferguson (R Mich.), and everette Saltonstall (R-Mass.), Armed Services com mittee chairman, joined Know land in asserting that , the question should not be budget cuts but comparative "fire pow er" in the fighting forces. Knowland suggested that somewhere between 1957 and 1960 the Russians may be on a par with the United States in nuclear weapons development. Then, he said, . the Russians probably will start "nibbling" away at the nations on the free world's periphery. Portland Livestock Portland (UJ.)-;attle 250.
