f rOTXRTTEIf MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday, March 31, 19SS Brando, My, '(Q)n the Waterfront' Win Oscars Hollywood U.R) Marlon Brando, a three-time loser in the annual battle ior Oscars, won the motion picture Academy Award Thursday night for the best male performance in 1954. Grace Kelly, a fellow New Yorker who has been in the movies only a year, was given the nod over veteran Judy Gar land as the best actress. It was a great night for their city, too. "On The Waterfront," a film about waterfront crime and violence which was made in New York, won eight Oscars, tying the record set by "Gone With The Wind" in 1939. . "On The Waterfront's" star, Brando, finally collected his Os car for his portrayal of a brood ing dock worker. His girl friend In the movie, Eva Marie Saint, won the best supporting actress award. Sentiment "Not Involyed" Miss Kelly won the best ac tress award for her role as a discouraged wife in "The' Coun try Girl." Edmund O'Brien, the press agent of "The Barefoot Contessa," was given an Oscar as best supporting actor. All four players are first time Oscar winners. The usually casual Brando, who hadn't attended previous Academy award presentations, ran to the stage of the Pantages theater to acept a gold statuette from Bette Davis. He was so moved he forgot his thank you speech and his Hand shook as he held the statuette. Before the event, Judy Gar land, who staged a comeback in "A Star Is Born," and Bing Crosby, one of Hollywood's best liked citizens and star of "The Country Girl," were hot favor ites to win. Miss Garland was rushed to the hospital to have a baby ahead of schedule Tuesday 9 "Wfc - . n' i t Grace Kelly holds coat she wore to the Academy Award presen tations in Hollywood last night. and viewed the presentations on television. 27th annual Oscar tvent. More than 2,800 movie celeb rities and fans filled the 'Pan tages Theater in Hollywood and another crowd jammed New York's Century Theater. A po tential audience of 55,000,000 "attended" the two-city telecast over TV and radio stations. Miss Saint, an expectant moth er, kissed her Oscar on the stage of the New York theater and gasped, "I may have the baby right here." Best direction honors went to Elia Kazan for "On The Water front." The best song Oscar was won by Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne for "Three Coins In The Fountain." "On The Waterfront" also won for best art direction, automat ically giving it a set decoration plaque,, technically its ninth award. But the film; shot entire ly on location, had no sets so academy officials were uncer tain as to who should receive the plaque. Garbo Gets Award Bob Hope, master of cere monies for the event, kept the crowd roaring with his quips, such as, "This is Hollywood's biggest give-away program. The secret word tonight is 'shucks'." "The losers get monogrammed do-it-yourself suicide kits," Hope promised. An unusual special award was voted by the Academy's board of directors to Greta Garbo for "her unforgettable" perform ances. Special awards also went to Danny Kaye for his united na tions film, "Assignment Chil dren," and to Jon Whitely and Vincent Winter, as best juvenile actors in "The Little Kidnapers" (English). Oscar during her long and illus-; trious career and the Academy ' decided to correct the oversight, j "Gate of Hell," a Japanese 1 film, was voted the best foreign 1 language movie of the year. ; Walt Disney accepted two awards and his studio netted two j more, which runs his total to 24 since 1932. Miss Garbo never received an Oscar." Hollywood U.R) Actress Judy Garland, a pre-awards fa vorite to win an Oscar for her performance in "A Star is Born" said today from her hospital bed that she was not really disap pointed to lose to Grace Kelly. Miss Garland gave birth to a boy the day before the Academy Award presentations Wednesday night. "After all." she said, "I was presented with my own special Former Alcoholic Attorney Now Works in Library; Not Drinking Chicago (U.R) The new man looked at the book-lined shelves in the rooms where he has his new job and said, "So far, it's fine."

Wayne Green, eminent Trichologist, demonstrates causes of baldness and how it can be prevented. HOW TO HAVE HAIR FOR A LIFETIME TO BE DEMONSTRATED HERE BY FAMOUS TRICHOLOGIST Offers Written Guarantee . An exclusive interview by Steven Bright WICHITA (Special) J. Wayne Green, Director of Rog ers. Inc., Hair and Scalp Spe cialists, exploded the "myth of baldness" today in an exclusive interview. "Baldness is unnecessary, cost ly, and a plague to mankind," says Green. "No man need be bald. No man need suffer the stigma of premature old age that is forced upon him because he is losing his hair. The Rogers method of hair and scalp treat ment can prevent baldness can turn colorless fuzz into healthy, growing hair can make you look youthful again." Demonstration To Be Held in Medford. Ore.

Blevins will conduct the private, individual interviews from 12 noon until 9:00 P. M. on Sunday ONLY. There is no cost or obligation, and you need no appointment. Reason For Baldness "There is always a reason for baldness." continued this na tionally known authority. "Hair cannot" grow through a scalp that is infected with dandruff, excessive oiliness. or extreme dryness. A scalp that has never been exercised cannot be ex pected to produce healthy hair." Men. and yes. women too. walk the streets today, completely devoid of nature's greatest or nament hair. Simply because they were not taught the basic rules of hair and scalp hygiene while they were growing up. ''The simple answer." empha sized this expert, "is that chil dren should be taught the same simnle basic rules of hair and seal" hvgiene that they are "fauht for the proper care of their teeth. If this were the case v.qMness would be a rarity to day.'" - Heredity Not Involved Trichologist Green dodged no is sues. He quickly took up the most widely spread theory of bald nessheredity. "Mankind's un realistic belief that baldness is hereditary stems from a misin- a hopeless case that he cannot be helped. "We strongly advise," says Green, "that no person who "s completely bald hold any hope whatsoever of regrowing hair. If there is any fuzz at all, we can restore a healthy scalp condition and the hair will grow normallv again as nature in tended." Offers A Guarantee "Rogers, Inc.. America's Fore most Hair and Scalp Specialists, offer a guarantee to any client who enrolls for treatment.

The latest addition to the staff at the library is William G. Wood, 65, once an authority on contract law, once a teacher at Kent College of Law, and once a skid-row alcoholic. Now he has the new job at the library. Now he works amid the kind of sur roundings in which he was edu cated and among the men with whom he once professionally as sociated. "It's another step on the road back," Wood said today. He is neat in a new suit. He has a set of false teeth which he didn't have Jan. 23, when he turned up, a derelict on the skids of alcoholism, in Municipal Judge Hyman Feldman's munic ipal court. That appearance in court started him on the road back. Feldman by questioning learned his background. He told him he woulrl give him a iob at S5 a day, after Wood had successfully defended another derelict from skid row to show Feldman that he "still had it." The change was slow but it never halted. First it was a clean shirt, then a topcoat someone gave him, then some dentures to replace lost ones, then a hearing aid, a new suit and a new hat. "It thrills me to death," said Feldman, when improvement began to set in. Other attorneys rallied around to give Wood a hand. For a time Wood, who blamed the start of his excessive drink ing on family problems, was a little reluctant to say whether he thought he had licked his problem. But he's been showing up reg ularly for work. "I like this job so far," he said. "So far it's fine." "And I haven't had a drink since I left skid row." Jackson County Case Brings High Court Ruling on NSF Law Salem (U.R) A 1949 law re garding drawing insufficient fund 'checks was ruled uncon stitutional by the Oregon Su preme Court Wednesday because it did not stipulate whether the crime was a felony or a misde meanor. The court's ruling upheld the action of Circuit Judge H. K. Hanna of Jackson county in dis missing a felony indictment charging Walter Pirkey , with drawing NSF checks with intent to defraud. The court's opinion said the statute proposed to vest discre tion in the grand jury or the committee magistrate as . to whether the accused ,-hall be proceeded against for a misde meanor or a felony.

" The court expressed no opin; ion about the other portions of lh,e statute but said it "is appar ent that legislative consideration of the entire problem is indi cated." Salem (U.R) The Oregon Su preme Court Wednesday held that a 1947 legislative act. vest ing in the state the exclusive right to regulate the speed of railroad trains in cities of less than 100,000, supersedes a 1929 Salem city ordinance. The railroad had recovered a judgment of S665 for damages to its locomotive which struck a Consolidated Freight ways truck. The truck had stopped al most on the track at 12th and Slate sts. here, immediately in front of an approaching freight train. Consolidated contended the train was traveling in excess of the limits set forth in the city ordinance. The Supreme Court, in an opinion by Chief Justice Harold J. Warner, affirmed the trial court decree.
