Newspaper Page TextBusy Spring Army Of Stockholders By ELMER C. WALZER Uniled Press Financial Editor New York U ' m m .v.. mi like a busy spring for Ameri ca's army of stockholders, ' DrosD e c 1 1 v e ffo. stockholders. A survey of if , m 1,200 compan- a i i c m o H A hv .Dr. Solomon Balsam, direc tor of the an ' n u a 1 reports Elmer Hake department of Contempo Agency, showed that 60 per cent of them are popularizing their annual re ports for multiple use. The New York Stock Ex change is publishing today a bulletin of 24 pages on "tell ing your share-ownership story." The exchange bulletin lists not only fancy annual reports but also examples of slick pic ture spreads, articles, and tosses in ideas on television scripts. Plenty of Reading There surely is going to be a meeting of stockholders. Preliminary reports for 1957 already are coming out. Th Stork Exehanee notes It looks ; tnaf the shareownership story is big news, affecting the daily life of every American. These include the 13,700, 000, employees of stock ex change listed corporations; up wards of 8,630,000 American stockholders of 1.100 compan ies, an aaamon oi iiu million people whose savings and in surance funds are channeled into stock investments by fi nancial institutions, and the 19 million American families who want to know more about how to own their share of American business. Noble Effort The corporations as in other years are trying to get their shareowners to read their re ports. They are printing them in color on good paper with illustrations and graphs to make them more understand able. It's a good bet the reports of the companies which have cut or eliminated the divi dends will get a reading. And it's also a good bet that the stockholders of these a lot of reading matter avail-1 companies are planning to at- able for the stockholder with the will to read. The way things go at this time of the year for the com panies with calendar year ac counting plans is first to issue a preliminary report, then an annual report, and then hold tend their company's meeting to do some shouting about the dividend actions. There'll be lots of excite ment at many a meeting that has been a tame one in recent years when earnings were good and dividends high. The Hollywood Scene Bu Hollywood iff) Eva Marie Saint, an Oscar winner who twice showed disdain for parts "where the girl just sits around in' color looking pretty," today might be will ing to do just that. This situation should .iot be interpreted to mean the fresh-faced, talented actress hopes to nudge Jayne Mans field out of the picture witn one shake of her long blonde hair. "But I would like to do something a little lighter for a " change," she said, "some thing where I don't cry-" The tall, slender young woman may have had refer ence to her latest movie, "A Hatful of Rain," where her tears could make it a pair of gold statues on her mantle. Miss Saint received an Acad emy Award as best supporting nctress in 1954 for her role nnnosite Marlon Brando in "On the Waterfront." Finding Stories Difficult "Of course truly wonderful love stories like 'Roman Holi day' or "Sabrina' aren't easy to find," she said, "but would like to try something along those story lines. "An actress needs variety, she continued, "and t h scripts I have read in the last two years tend to be running but the heavily dramatic. And I don't know why Hollywood can't use good actresses once in a while when the part calls for a so-called 'sexy broad, she said. Miss Saint, whose Actors studio training in New York makes her an automatic mem ber of the torn T-shirt set, said she had one chance to "stop playing Claudia" when she ap- neared with Bob Hope in "That Certain Something." I wore beautiful gowns sang, danced and thoroughly Venioved myself," she said with the wistful air of a Cin derella who just turned in her coach for a pumpkin. "It was fun and a change." Product of Television The girl who today voiced musical comedy leanings con siders herself a product of New York television. Four years ago she had the curious record of being one star of a Hollywood . movie who had been in the film city a single HAZEL JOHNSON nited Press Writer time on a vacation years ago. This situation developed be cause "Waterfront" was made in New York. When she finally arrived on the local scene with her director-husband, Jeff Hayden, she at first turned down movies for television plays. Miss Saint then explained that she'd "be happy to do a movie if I get a good story. But one script they sent me was for a western in which all the girl does is stand around in color and look pretty." Since then Miss Saint has continued to be selective about her movie roles, avoid ing "those insane woman things" which could entrench her more solidly in drama than she is to date. Speech Meeting Starts Today at Southern Oregon Ashland One hundred and ten Medford and Ashland business and professional peo ple will serve as critics at the ninth annual invitational high school speech conference at Southern Oregon college to day and Saturday.

LOST ARTS London (IP) Lord Winster, in urging more "Backwoods Lords" to attend the House of Peers although it has little legislative power, Thursday defined a "backwoods peer" thus: A man who knows "how to kill a fox, get rid of a bad tenant, and discard an un wanted mistress."

GERMANS GET NIKE Duesseldorf, Germany dpi The West German armed forces announced today that the U.S. Nike air defense mis sile bases will be built in this Rhine-Ruhr industrial area. The announcement said the Nikes would not be equipped with nuclear warheads. They are to be operated by the Ger mans as part of their fighter and conventional anti-aircraft defense system. TWO INJURED Paris OP Two Americans were in the hospital today with broken legs suffered when an escending elevator faltered and plunged two stories to the ground floor at U. S. Air Force Headquarters. Injured in the mishap Thurs day were Air Force Major Ed ward Gladue. 46, of Water town, Mass., and Mare Suma, 45, a civilian, of Scranton. Pa. New York iff) Crime has rubbed out some of the romance and charm from New York City's Central Park. The 842 - acre park has, since the war, acquired a deep - rooted reputation as a hangout for muggers, 'rapists, homosexuals and vandals. It has been called a "fortress of fear." This skidding reputation is enhanced whenever an inci dent occurs such as the Jan. 20 stabbing in broad day light of a United Nations secretary who was strolling in the park. Last September, Nepal's U.N. ambassador was mugged during a nighttime walk in the park. "When we get a felonious assault, the papers always play it up," complained a park policeman. "Other pre cincts get this sort of thing aimost every day and yet, people have the idea that Central Park is the most dan gerous place in the city," he added. Decrease Recorded Last September, Police Commissioner Stephen Ken nedy reported that Central Park's 22nd precinct handled 41 felony complaints and 344 j misdemeanor complaints dur ing June, July and August. A j year earlier, there were 53 felonies and 222 misdemean ors. ; Kennedy added the precinct j ranked Tftth out. nf a nnsihlp i 81 in the city's precinct crime 'I rate. He suggested that peo ple who use the park after dark stick to the footpaths. No one is permitted in the park after midnight, but po lice are kept busy shooing drunks, vagrants and strag glers. One factor that makes New Yorkers shy away from the park is the feeling that many park crimes go unreported. For example: a section of the park known as "the ramble" is a rendezvous for homosex uals. They reportedly fall easy and silent prey to thugs. Another element is the "crawler," who sneaks up on lovey-dovey couples to snatch the woman's purse. Unreport ed rapes are said to occur in the "loch" area, at the heavi ly-wooded northern end of the park. Modernization Program A five-year lighting mod ernization program, costing $1,250,000, is far behind schedule. Some 1,675 lamp posts nearly double the park's original number should be fully installed by January, 1962. In addition to the lights the park has 25 call boxes scattered along its 31 miles ot walks and footpaths, five miles of bridle paths and 10 miles of automobile roads. Many critics say the park should have more telephones. And many say the best so lution is to black-top the place and use it as a parking lot.
