The n e w s wires carried the story last week: "Anne Banc roft di vorced by con- tine Mosby trJxtor i Marty May on grounds nsi-' Cliyr career interfered with the "marriage." O Tflday, the actress sat in Go ogiC Restaurant, a young ac tors' hftigout, and talked unhap- O pily about career women.' Soc iologists may think Arnie's troubles are representative of those females who are a prob lem of this century women who have a career ' drive that conflicts with the conventional duties of marriage and mother hood. Actress Offers Advice "A woman with a drive and ambition for a career never should marry," she said firmly, "ifit best to be single while you are finding yourself." Anne, wearing black toreador pants and a black sports car jacket, sat moodily. "You see," she said earnestly, "to be a good actress is a terrific drive for me. Why do I have the drive? Tfet's one of the reas ons why I want to be alone to find wh I have to be an actress. "Being an actress akes a lot of attention and time and en ergy, she continued. It's an old corny phrase but you can't serve two masters. If you really love your career, if you have this drive, you must fulfill yourself in this way. Ambitions Numerous "I have more ambitions than the average woman and I am deep and sensitive and I must have peace. I must be alone." she added breathlessly. "Despite what men say, men and women are born equal. Just as many women have talent " She noted bitterly: "Marriage consists of pleasing a man.That's what he wants." Anne is moving to New York because she needs "change." She'll concentrate on theater and television and commute here for pictures.

February 19, 1957 Oregon Birth Rate Lowest Since 1946 Portland (U.R) Oregon's birthrate last year was the low est since 1946 only 22 for each 1,000 of estimated population,- according to figures releas ed here by the State Board of Health. Dr. Harold M. Erickson, state health officer, said the number of total births dropped .9 per cent from 1955, from 38,346 to 37.986. Oregon's birth rate decline came at a time when the nation al birth rate was increasing 1.2 per cent to 25 per 1000 estimat ed population. At the same time, Dr. Erick son reported, the rate of illegiti mate births reached an all-time high in Oregon last year 994 babies were born to unwed moth ers for an increase of 11 per cent. Dr. Erickson said the state's illegitimacy rate was better than the national average but the rec- cord of non-white women was better than the national average. Expense Increase Voted for Nixon Washington (U.R) The Sen ate Monday night approved a $5,000 increase in office ex penses for Vice-President Rich ard M. Nixon despite a Demo cratic complaint that taxpayers shouldn't have to foot the bill for "a candidate for President." The action came as the Senate approved its first money bill of the new session, a catch-all de ficiency bill. Sen. Allen J. El lender (D-La.) raised the question of the $5,000 item and put the "candidate" tag on the vice-president. Ellender said the expenses of the vice-president's office would jump, with the increase, to about $101,000 annually, about double the total when Nixon took of fice. He said Nixon "has been trav elling around . . ..he is a candi date for President . . . and that's what probably has caused it." "There is no reason why the taxpayer should carry that bur den,!' he said. 'Key District' School Bill Has Opposition Portland (U.R) A strong stand in opposition to the "key district" school bill was taken by the Portland Central Labor council last night. The council adopted a resolu tion condemning the measure as "unsound in principle" and a threat to the Portland school district. ' The resolution, introduced by the AFL-CIO local of the Teach ers' union, contends that it is unsound because it is an effort to equalize taxes for support of the schools in all parts of the state rather than an effort to equalize the educational oppor tunities for the children of Ore gon. Briefs Salem (U.R) A hearing on a House bill giving broad powers to the State Agriculture depart ment to control brucellosis and tuberculosis of livestock was scheduled today. Salem U.R) A bill to abol ish the Liquor Control commis sion and transfer its powers to a governor-appointed commis sioner was introduced in the House. Traction Firm Wins Slay of PUC Order Portland (U.R) The Port land Traction Company yester day won a stay of a Public Util ities Commission order requiring it to provide free shuttle service to the west side for interurban patrons and setting up a heavy penalty for failure to do so. Presiding Circuit Judge Charles W. Redding granted the stay following a hearing. The stay will remain in effect at least until after completion of hearings before the Public Util ities Commission on the contro versy over the cutoff of inter urban service to the West Side.

"Funds collected will "ae used to finance the many programs of the Heart association," Mrs. Erickson said. "It is imperative that the work of the association in the fields of research, educa tion and community service be continued and expanded." Inspection Asked for State Office Building Salem (U.R) Conditions in the basement of the old state office building here are "un healthy, inefficient and call for immediate correction," Secretary of State Mark Hatfield said to day. Hatfield said he had written letters to the Board of Health, the labor commissioner and the fire marshal ' asking them to make prompt inspection of the facilities and specific recom mendations for improvement. "Although I am not fully fa miliar with all aspects of sani tation and safety regulations I question if tfie conditions would meet basic standards for private construction. The state should meet the same standards it im poses on others in fairness to its employees." The primary couse of the dif ficulty( Hatfield said, is the over crowded condition, but in ad dition "inadequate lighting and ventilating compound the situation." the wonderful world of AUTODYNAMICS 57 Nowl TWO different tull-hour Liwrtnce WolkShow eh week on TVI "Dancing Meat Packers Open Annual Convention San Francisco (U.R) Inde pendent meat packers and pro cessors from nine western states opened their annual convention today, prepared to fight a move by the "Big Four" mdiwest pack ers to have a 1920 consent decree set aside. ' E. Floyd Forbes of San Fran cisco, president of the Western Meat Packers association, said the aim of the Big Four in get ting the decree set aside is to enter the grocery business. Up to now, he said, they have been prevented from doing so as a result of the decree that has restricted their monopoly pow ers. The Big Four are Armour, Swift, Wilson and Cudahy. Forbes said independent meat packers and grocers would be hard pressed to stay in business if they had to meet the competi tion from the Big Four. The convention ends Thursday.
