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

added, however, that "we have
never planned not to have her
back." They just won t promise
it. in writing.
Goes To Arbitration
Now the squabble has gone
from lawyers to Actors' Equity
and will go before arbitrators
next week for a decision.
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.

she wailed. "So now they have
me quitting and Milton pleading
with me to stay. According to
the fans, I'm the heavy.
"Suppose I wasn't going to

"Suppose I'd just gained a little

gone -from much heavier to
much thinner did they fire

Magic Formula
In Farm Program
Declared Wrong
Spokane U.R) The greatest
mistake in handling farm pro
grams is "to attempt to apply
one ' magic formula, one cure
all" will answer the problems of
all agricultural products, Rep.
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.

Democrats
Hard Look
Policies, of
' Washington (U.R) Senate
Democratic Leader Lyndon B.
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. But Johnson
said as soon as the Democrats
take control the Foreign Affairs
and Armed Services committees
will hold hearings- on adminis-

Should Review Budget Cuts
Democratic Sens. Paul H.

Lehman (N.Y.), said-one subject
of review should be defense bud

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.

until morning when winds
were expected to subside enough
to allow them to enter the Col
