O Tflday, the actress sat in Go

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.
"I'll be lonely living alone."

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.

"Funds collected will "ae used

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."

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.
