Marilyn Monroe Finding New Happiness in Forthcoming Marriage To 40-Year-Old Pulitzer Winning Playwright
New York 01.19 Marilyn
Monroe, about to become a bride
for the third time, ii "bubbling
over" with happiness.
It was just 14 years ago that
the made her first try for love
and companionship in a teenage
marriage.
The June bride of 1942 was
Norma Jean Mortenson, a foster
child who later described her
marriage to 21-year-old James
Dougherty as "for convenience
only." It kept her from being
returned to the orphanage.
Now Woman of 30
Now Norma Jean Is a woman
of 30, and any similarity between
the brown-haired bride of 16
and the silver-haired movie star
who is marrying Arthur Miller,
ore of the nation's top play
wrights, is strictly accidental.
Miss Monroe would like to for
get about her unhappy child
hood and her unfortunate first
marriage, which ended in di
vorce after four years.
Her name has become syn
onomous with sex appeal, but
her romances have been far
rarer than many glamorous mo
vie queens. Her career came
first for years after she got her
first Hollywood attention in
1947.
Men fell in love with her, and
the struggling starlet went
steady with two of them she
"liked very much." One was
Freddie Karger, a composer and
bandleader who later married
Jane Wyman. Another was her
agent, Johnny Hyde, who died
before she became famous.
But there were no engage
ment rings or marriage promis
es until a baseball player named

Joe DiMaggio had a blind date
with the girl who already was
becoming Hollywood legend.
Father Complex
Friends said Marilyn had a
"father complex" about the men
in her life, still searching for
the security and love she never
had as a child. '
DiMaggio, after that first date
in a Hollywood restaurant in
1952, threatened to become an
other of the escorts she only
"liked very much."
They dated queitly for two
years before Marilyn decided
Joe was the man she wanted to
marry. She talked about having
a family and staying home at
nights with Joe to watch tele
vision. But nine months after they
Monroe's Fiance
Given Ultimatum
To Divulge Names
Roxbury, Conn. (U.R) Play
wright Arthur Miller went ahead
with plans today for his marri
age to Marilyn Monroe despite
an ultimatum to purge himself
of a possible contempt "of Con
gress citation.
The House Un-American Acti
vities Committee Wednesday
gave Miller 10 days in which to
divulge names of alleged Com
munists he once knew or face
possible prosecution.
The author of "Death of a
Salesman" also faced passport
troubles with the State Depart
ment which may prevent any
European honeymoon with the
curvaceous actress.
But in Connecticut, blood
samples of the playwright and
actress were taken by Miller's
cousin. Morton Miller, to the
state laboratory at Hartford as
required' by state law before
marriage.
Given 10 Days
The House committee voted
the contempt citation ultimatum
by a unanimous 6 to 0. But mem
bers said even if Miller refuses
to comply with the demand
there will be no attempt to inter
fere with his marriage plans.
Miller was given "10 days to
answer the questions he refused
to answer ... in order to purge
himself of contempt and elim
inate a possibility of contempt
proceeding."
The playwright admitted to
past Red-front associations in an
appearance before the House
committee last week but said
"his conscience" prevented him
from identifying writers he once
knew as Communists or Red
sympathizers.

Novia del Mar, representing the
San Diego Yacht Club, held a
slight lead over the Jada.
The two leaders in the five

than 1700 miles from Los An
geles harbor. The Jada had main
tained its lead since the race
started 12 days ago until over
taken. Dr. Howard Murphy's Quest,
a 64-foot yawl, was in third
place some 60 miles behind the
leaders. The Celebes and Viveka
were reported holding down
fourth and fifth places respect
ively. Convicted Murderer

poned a strike in an effort to

Green Peter Dam
Shift To Be Aired
Sweet Home U.R) A public
meeting here tomorrow night
will discuss with Army engineers
the possibility of shifting the lo
cation of the Green Peter re
regulating dam from White
Bridge to Foster.
Engineers say that the change
in location would not affect the
location of the main Green Peter
dam but would more than double
the power output and also would
provide more adequate flood con
trol on the Santiam.
The change was first suggest
ed by Army engineers. The hear
ing was called to determine local
views on the feasibility of alter
ing the original plan.
The new site is on the south
fork of the Santiam. An earth
filled dam, nearly a mile in
length, is proposed.
The White Bridge dam on the
middle fork of the Santiam and
another dam on Wiley creek
would be abandoned if the new
location is adopted in the final
plans.

mittee reached a recommenda
tion in negotiations here yester
day and it was to be submitted
to the general labor committee
representing 10 unions in the
metal trades council today.
A management representative
described the proposed settle
ment as "very generous."
Spokesmen declined to discuss
the proposed agreement but it
was indicated that it would grant

ly pay hikes and provide certain

21-cer.t hourly pay boost.
The current contract expires
at midnight Saturday.

AT YOUR GROCERS
nounced. The famous pair had
been living on separate floors
of the house for three days. '
DiMaggio left, suitcase in
hand, walking through the
group of reporters and photo
graphers. He would never come
back to that house, he said.
Cold and Indifferent
Then Marilyn, excited, weep
ing, hanging to the arm of her
attorney. Her husband had been
cold and indifferent, she told
the judge when she got her di
vorce. She had found neither the
love nor companionship she
sought.
She'd been married to her
career, she half joked to a re
porter, and moved to New York
City to begin a new phase of
her life. The 'change brought
many things a company of
her own called Marilyn Monroe
Productions, Inc.; a white-walled,
white-carpeted apartment in
a luxurious neighborhood; a
new group of friends including
some serious artists and a sur
prising romance.
Arthur Miller, a tall, lean 40-year-old
writer who won the
Pulitzer Prize for "Death of a
Salesman," met Marilyn first in
1951, when he visited a Holly
wood movie set. They met again
at a friend's apartment after
she moved here.
Long Beach, Calif. (U.R)
James G. Slep of the Altoona
Pa. Mirror, was elected presi
dent of the Association of News
paper Classified Advertising
Managers at the organization's
36th annual meeting here Wed
nesday night.
She was so quiet about the
romance until they announced it
last week that I don't think
even those closest to her knew
for sure they'd get married,"
one friend commented. "But now
that it is out, she is bubbling
over with happiness. She talks
about him all the time. I've never
seen her so happy.'
Whether she would give up
her career or not "never was an
issue," the friend said. Miller
approves of it, even the cheese
cake pictures.
"It was completely false that
he objected to those publicity
pictures of her in scanty cos
tumes recently," the friend said.
The talented writer will have
a chance to see how he likes be
ing married to a working movie
star very shortly. They plan to
combine their honeymoon in
England with the first produc
ing venture of Marilyn Monroe
Productions, Inc., which is a
movie co-starring Marilyn and
Laurence Olivier.
