DA Plans Inquiry in
OLCC Bribery Charge
Portland (U.R) Multnomah
County District Attorney Wil
liam Langley announced Friday
that he will order a grand jury
investigation of bribery charges
in connection with the Oregon
Liquor Control commission.
Langley said "I am not con
cerned with defective admini
strative practices in state bur
eaus." Portland Couples
Win Judgments For
Tax Overpayments
Portland CU.R) Two Port-
l- o land couples have been awarded
judgments toxanng 3i-s,tuo
U.S. District Judge Claude Mc
Colloch lor over payment of
taxes in 1943.
The award was made to the
late Sam Schnitzer and his wife,
Rose, and to Harry J. Wolf and
his wife, Jennie.
The suit was an appeal to a
federal tax court decision which
ruled that $347,340 in merchan
dise advanced to operate a pro
posed steel mill in Portland was,
following the failure of the ven
ture, a capital investment. This
would spread the deduction over
a five-year period.
The two couples, partners in
the Alaska Junk Company, had
contended the merchandise ad
vanced could be written off 1943
income taxes as a bad invest
ment. The Schnitzers and Wolfs ap
pealed the tax court decision on
the grounds of overassessment.

Series of Charges
Charges of bribery in commis
sion dealings has prompted a
series of charges and counter
charges between Gov. Paul
Patterson and state Attorney
General Robert Y. Thornton.
Langley said that in his
judgment "the report submitted
to me some time ago by Gov
ernor Patterson did not warrant
prosecution for a violation of
criminal law."
But he said Thornton's recent
charges led to his order for a
full-scale investigation. He was
unsure whether the matter could
be brought before the grand
jury during August or whether
it would have to be delayed
until September.

Around
Hollywood
By ALINE MOSBY
United Press Correspondent
Editor's not: Aline Mosby is on
vacation. Today's guest columnist is
Broderick Crawford, the movie toujrh
guy who says he's been "discovered"
more than any actor in the business.
By BRODERICK CRAWFORD
Written for The United Press
Hollywood (U.R) I'm not
entirely certain, but, next to be
ing undiscovered, one of the
great banes of an actor's life is
being "discovered." Neither
knocking or boasting, I've prob
ably been as "discovered" as
anyone.
I'm getting tired of it.
Let's look at it realistically
Charles Bickford, who is won
derful in "Not As a Stranger,"
in which I also appear, has al
ways been a fine actor. Yet,
when he did "Johnny Belinda,"
every critic in the country dis
covered him.
Humphrey Bogart, who made
more money in movies than Edi
son ever dreamed possible, did
pretty well from "Petrified For
est" through "Sierra Madre," be
ing discovered from picture to
picture. Then he did "African
Queen" and, if this is possible,
he was 'super-discovered."
Plenty Young
That's the way it goes with
actors. We go along from pic
ture to picture, some good, some
bad. Most of us try pretty hard
all the time. I started on the
stage when I was eight months
old. My mother, Helen Brod
erick, and my father, Lester
Crawford, both stars of Broad
way, carried me on stage in a
play, the name of which I have
forgotten. Don't think some un
hailed Broadway columnist
didn't raise the rafters with a
cry of "bright new young star."
He was fooling, but that kept
me off the stage for 20 years.
Sam Goldwyn, a well known
Hollywood figure, saw me in an
early show on Broadway,
Punches and Judy," and offered
me a contract. He discovered me.
I came to Hollywood, did a pic
ture called "Woman Chases
Man," and was back on Broad
way before the cameraman could
stop cranking. Nobody discov
ered me in that.
Big and Stupid
But on the way back to New
York, I did a little "discover
ing" on my own. I read a book
called "Of Mice and Men." I
wanted to do the stage version.
I was the biggest, stupidest, dull
est, most slow-witted Lennie in
history. The play ran a year I
was a smash. Then they made
the movie and Lon Chaney Jr.
was the biggest, best, stupidest
Lennie ever seen.
In "Not As a Stranger" Lon,
playing Robert Mitchum's father,
will be discovered by audiences
and critics. Need I point out that
he had been discovered playing
the film version of Lennie. And
he was good in that, too.
Actor's aren't like uranium
deposits. They don't lie fallow
until some joker with a buzz
box discovers them. They're
working all the time.
Crosby's Injury Not
Break, Doctors Say
' Tacoma, Wash. Mad
igan Army hospital doctors said
Saturday Philip Crosby, 21-year-old
son of crooner Bing Crosby,
did not suffer a broken back
after all in an automobile ac
cident last Sunday, only muscle
injuries.
At first it was believed young
Crosby suffered one or more
fractured vertebrae when his car
left a road near Raymond, Wash.
However, doctors at the army
hospital on the Fort Lewis res
ervation said X-rays showed no
broken bones.
Crosby, now an army private
at Fort Lewis, was reported to
be in "good" condition. Atten
dants said he was expected to
be released from the hospital
in about a week.

installment Payment Plan Available in
Many Schools
By UNITED PRESS
If you're sending a youngster
to college this fall you may be
able to pay the tuition on the in
stallment plan.
Many schools permit install
ment payments, a survey show
ed, and some have their own pri
vately endowed loan funds for
deserving students.
About 300 schools belong to
Tuition Plan, Inc., oldest and
biggest institution in college in
stallment financing.
The trend toward time-payment
tuition was reflected in a
recent announcement by Queens
College and the Union National
Bank at Charlotte, N.C.
Two Different Contracts
Under a plan adopted jointly
by the two institutions, a stu
dent's education may be financed
at the arte of $50 or $60 a month
under two different contracts.
Under one plan, the parents
begin depositing $50 a month in
the bank 24 months before the
student's registration. The de
posits continue for two years
and eight months after gradua
tion.
The bank will pay $1200 to

the college each year the student
is enrolled.
Under the second plan month
ly deposits of $65 begin one year
before registration and continue
one year and three months after
graduation.
Carl C. McGraw, president of
the bank, said most middle-income
families would not be able
to own homes or automobiles
without installment credit, and
that time payments for college
tuition is a logical extension of
the installment system.

Full Cost Paid ,
Under the plan, the company
pays the full amount, including
the tuition, board, books and
other fees, at the start of each
term. Parents who contract to
use the plan pay 4 per cent in
terest, usually in eight monthly
installments for the academic
year.
A company spokesman said
from 10 to 20 per cent of the
students in schools subscribing
to the program take advantage
of the time payment plan. Of
those who use it, far less than
one per cent default, the com
pany said.

A spokesman for First Nation
