But the executive committee, acting un der authorization of the board of directors, has postponed the ef fective date of the increase, Hogan said. The prices will remain as they are until all those who demon strated an interest in purchasing Goccupancy rights prior to Dec. 1 have been contacted, or until O one-half of the apartments have been sold, whichever occurs first, Hogan said. Sales Exceed SI Million Considerably more than $1 million worth of occupancy rights have been contracted, Ho gan said, and additional pur- q chases and inquiries are being made each day. The SoVz million retirement home will be constructed on a 15-acre site the Manor organiza tion has purchased on top of Barneburg hill in southeast Medford. Construction is tenta tively scheduled to start early in 1958. A series of meetings explain ing the organization of the non profit retirement home have beejj held since mid-November, Hogam reported. They have been held in Corvallis, Portland, Lakeview, Bend and Palo Alto, and Walter M. Higgins, executive director of the manor, is now in Carmel, Calif., making further contacts with d number of in terested persons.

Try and Stop Me -By BENNETT CERF- GEORGE ALLEN, who succeeded Arthur Larson as head of the U. S. Information agency, has no illusions about his difficult job. "I feel like the man in the story," he told report ers, "who was being ridden out of town on a rail. 'Boys,' he said, hf it wasn't for the honor of the thing, I'd just as soon have walked.'" When little Lucinda reached the age of 10, her parents gave her a check for ?50 and told her to open an account at the savings bank. Officials there gave her an application blank that included the question, "Have you had an account previously elsewhere, and if so, will you please print here the name of the bank?" Lucinda gave the problem due thought, then laboriously spelled cut, "Yes. Piggy." C 1957, by Bennett Cerf.

Ingrid Bergman, Attorney Confer London (IP) The attorney who handled the legal separa tion for Ingrid Bergman and Roberto Rossellini conferred with her today on her next film and her last marriage. There were widespread ru mors they were discussing terms of a quick Mexican divorce but there was no confirmation here or in Rome where Rossellini merely snapped a "no comment." The lawyer is Ercole Grazia dei, an Italian friend of the fam ily who flew to London Monday night from Rome and held an immediate two-hour conference with the Swedish movie actress. Miss Bergman, in London to make a movie, said she sent for Graziadei to help iron out some contract details connected with her next film. She called it strictly a business visit.

Cutting of Wafer Development Funds Draws Opposition Washington (IP) The Nation al Rivers and Harbors Congress told Vice President Richard M. Nixon today it opposed cutting funds for water development pro grams to provide more money for the defense program. In a letter to Nixon, the con gress said, "The press have been carrying stories that public works will be 'the No. target for budget eutting in the current effort to find funds for the new science and missile program." The congress said it feels that "the U.S. did not lag behind Rus sia in launching missiles and satellites because it was appro priating funds for a reasonable program of water resources de velopment." Other Economies Urged "We also feel that we shall not hasten the launching of American Sputniks and missiles by abruptly halting or crippling our public works program." The congress said that "if add! tional appropriations for the military establishment are de termined to be necessary, these may be made available by econo mies in less essential areas of the budget." President Eisenhower recently warned in a nationwide speech that Congress would have the "distasteful" task of reducing non-defense government spend ing to make more funds avail able for expanded military spending. He said he had reached "a clear conclusion" that "entire categories" of non-defense activi ties should be cut or deferred. The Rivers and Harbors Con gress works for approval of such programs as flood control, river and harbor improvement, irriga tion and reclamation, conserva tion, and abatement of river pollution.

Housewives Seek Road Realignment Salem (IP) About 100 women from southwestern Oregon were expected through here Thursday on their way to Portland to plead a case for improvement of Highway 42 before the State Highway commission. The women are members of "Housewives for Highways 42." Their complaint is that much of the road "which connects Coast highway 101 at Coquille with Pacific Highway 99 near Rose burg is just as crooked as it was 25 years ago. A 50-mile stretch between Myrtle Point and Camas Valley is especially tortuous, the wom en say. Some 75 women of the group had a conference with Gov. Rob ert D. Holmes and State High way Engineer W. C. Williams on the road improvement several weeks ago.
