Remembers First Cry DmigirDd Ueirgmaim s Editor's note: Eifht years after she shocked the world by leaving ner husband, daughter, home and Hollywood career for Roberto Ros selllni, with whom she had as illegitimate child, Ingrid Bergman again is at a crossroads of her turbulent life. Her marriage with Italian film director Rossellini is at an end and she waits only for legal clearance to wed a new love, millionaire Swedish theatrical pro ducer Lars Schmidt. It was while she was in Wales with Schmidt and her three children by Rossellini that British newsman Ralph Coop er visited Miss Bergman and in duced her to break her long silence and speak frankly of her life from her super-strict childhood to the present. This is the second of five dispatches in which Miss Berg man tells her own story. Br RALPH COOPER -Ingrid Bergman's friends often say to her, "I wouldn't blame you if you never spoke to another newspaperman in your life." They know she has been deeply hurt by some of the things that have been reported about her, her daugh ter Pia and Roberto Rosellini. But Ingrid herself is apt to shrug her shoulders and say quietly, "it is their job if Quotes From the News By UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL Little Rock-Arkansas Gov.

M China Report (Continued from Page 1) A recent Chinese survey shows that a "cooperativised" peasant family of sixain Hu nan earned about $134 a year $22 a head. After buying staple foods, 12 feet of cheap cotton cloth and a pair of socks for each, and one pair of boots between all of them, they were left with just over 90 cents a month for the whole family. A Peiping industrial work er wage-earner for a family of seven was paid less than $28 a month. - Rice or millet, fuel and cooking oil, services and shcool fees left him with $3.36 for meat, vegetables, clothes, drugs, household utensils, and so on 50 cents a head. I learned in Peiping that a Ministerial department head earns under $14 a week, the headmaster of a large school, $15.40. The Chinese are rationed monthly to about 25 pounds of rice (more for heavy work ers), half a pound of sugar and a small quantity of pork meat. The ration of cotton, printed ,on one side only, is about nine yards a year at the moment. These essentials are cheap. Second-grade rice costs 10 cents a pound, pork 37 cents, vegetables in season, 3 to 5 cents a pound. A filling can teen meal can be had for about 15 cents. Window Shopping But only the cheapest and most essential foods, wear ing apparel and household goods are within the pocket of the average Chinese. Window-shopping at the well stocked State stores, where a woolen dress costs $11.20, a small radio $42, a modest watch $50.40, he can only comfort himself with one of the many national slogans: "Work hard for three years to be happy for a thousand." Is the impecunious, hard working, doctrine-drunk Chi nese content? .

They gave Matthews two new tires and fixed punctures on three other cars which came along before the nails could be swept up. they don't get what they come for they only get into trouble . . . and I don't like trouble for anyone." Explaining this, she told me: "I can still remember the time I had my first cry over what other people said about me. I was still at the stage where I got excited about in terviews and pasted every lit tle clipping in my cuttings book, "It was about the time of 'Intermezzo'. There was some thing I can't remember what it was probably some thing very silly which I thought was very unfair . . . and the Swedish actor who took the Leslie Howard part found me in tears . . . and gave me some very good ad vice. Advice From Actor "He was a very fine actor... and this is what he said, 'if you are going to cry about ged figures I have seen when travelling through the coun try by train, the ex-coolie "masters of China" in Chung king straining at an angle of 70 degrees to haul overload ed handcarts up steep hills, the " silent, unlit villages which no foreign visitor may ever visit, and everywhere the conformity too often born of fear. But there are also the well fed workers of factories and cooperative farms, the shin ing faces of healthy, well-clad children, the parks thronged with cheerful people, obvious ly and unexpectedly at ease. " The consensus of neutral opinion in China is: Yes, the vast majority of Chinese are relatively content and accept the regime.. The intellectual is often unhappy in his So cialist strait jacket, the for mer capitalist inevitably goes to the wall, the man who cannot fit into the pattern is ruined., But Peiping has cre ated a new collective society which offers the millions se curity in. a new powerful China in exchange for their souls. And what may seem unim aginably horrible to a liberal minded Europe may be per fectably acceptable to a Chi nese. "Try to think like one of us, a Communist asked me. "Collective thinking is achieved by endless political debate and we love confer ences. The Chinese has no tradition of privacy, enjoys a hubbub around him and is an easy convert of communal living. Dormitories are not new in China, and often mar ried couples prefer to live separately and close to their respective jobs than to com mute. The system of collec tive responsibility, and what you call spying and intoler able interference in personal life none of these are nov elties here. And since when have the Chinese objected to hard work? "In exchange, this regime gives us x State schools and hospitals, roofs over our heads and a job of work to do. It is working for us when it builds a new factory, con structs a new dam, frees us from flood and famine and the destitution that kills." Discontent is natural to man, whose first act on being born is to burst into tears, and no Chinese can believe that Utopia consists of a reg imented society in which property, the family, and indi vidual enterprise are thrown into pawn. But, with dynas ties of insecurity behind him, it is not surprising if he is ready to take a chance on a new way of living, to turn his back on traditions linked in his mind with 1,500 years of Han to Hao existence.

It's windy up there, on top . . . and it's a rough wind that gets rougher the higher you go.' "I've certainly found out since that he knew what he was talking about. "I suppose it doesn't really matter what they write about you as long as they say it. That actor told me 'whatever they say about you . . . don't cry. The time to cry is when they don't talk about you'. And I suppose that is so . . . even when they say 'you are a shameful person and should never show your face on the screen again.' "The bitierness with which things like that were written INGRID BERGMAN Doesn't Want Trouble about me astounded me. I was not prepared for it and I just could not understand it." I suggested, "I, think it showed the depth of feeling and affection people had for you," and Ingrid said, "yes, I think it did. They thought so much of me that when I fell in their estimation there was so much farther to fall." She sighed, and went on: "Whoever said that 'love makes the world go round spoke the truth. Being loved, and having the capacity to love others is the most im portant thing in the world with honesty. Ingrid Values Honesty "I value honesty ... in my self and others. Whatever I have done, I have tried to be honest. The hypocrite's way the hidden way, may some times be the easier line to take . . . but that's not for me. To be honest one has to be courageous ...and without courage . . ,. what is there? Without courage you are even afraid to live. "It is because I know how important love is for happi ness that I try to keep my children as near to me as pos sible ... to give them all the love they need, so that when they are older they can also give and receive it." Ingrid's children Rober tino, now 8, and twin daugh ters, Isabella and Ingrid, 6, are never very far away from her.

"You wait till they get to the teen-age stage," I said, "you'll have your work cut out to keep pace with it then." Moment of Sadness And for a moment Ingrid looked sad. "That is some thing I do not know. You see, my eldest daughter, (Pia Lindstrom) was only ten when I left her . . . and when she came back to me she was eighteen. And now . . . now she's a woman already ..." What does Ingrid Bergman want for these children of hers? "First and foremost , that they should grow up to be good human beings. I want them to be able to look after themselves and get along with people. If there's one thing which makes me really mad it is an intolerant person or a snob. I shouldn't want my children to be either of those." She became thoughtful, ob viously remembering her own childhood, she continued. "You know how it is when you are a child. You ask ques tions about life . . . you want to know everything. But when I wa small it was not thought necessary to answer these questions ... I had to find out for myself. "I believe that is wrong. A child's question should always be answered, because if they are not heeels he has done something wrong in asking them. - Explains To Child "When I am asked for my autograph, my Robertino wants t o know why . . . be cause he knows other boys' mothers don't get asktfd.

Herbert Stone of the Pacific Northwest region. It is effective immediately. Reason for the policy change is to prevent undesirable speculation in national forest timber offered for sale. Stone said, "A contract for cutting national forest timber clearly establishes an obliga tion on the . part of the pur chaser to complete the cutting and removal of all designated timber within the specified time limits. The Forest Serv ice expects timber purchasers to meet this obligation." Contract Termination Under the new policy, fail ure on the part of the timber purchaser to cut the timber within the specified ' time limits will result in termina tion of the timber sale con tract, unless certain conditions prevail and the purchaser ap plies for and is granted an extension of time by the For est Service. With respect to uncut tim ber, if no extension of time is granted, fhe purchaser is liable for paying any differ ence between the contract price rates and a lower rate caused by a lower current market value than when the contract was made. Stone emphasized that ex See Page 237 of the October issue New LrM tensions generally will be processed only when the termination date of a sale is near and the remaining uncut timber cannot be cut and re moved by the closing date. Extensions may be granted earlier in two situations. One Is to permit the purchaser to log other national forest tim ber which ' more urgently needs to be cut. The other is when the purchaser presents definite plans for interrupting operations v in order to log other timber and the delay will not be of a disadvantage to the United States. Present Schedule Before the Forest Service considers a request for . an extension, the purchaser may be required to present his schedule for completing road construction and timber cutting in order to fulfill his contract obligation in the pro posed extension period, in cluding his plan for meeting his obligations of the same kind under any other national forest timber sale contracts he holds. Any purchaser requesting an extension of a timber sale contract just before its termi nation should have cut at least 50 per cent of the tim ber by the date he applies for the extension. He also should have constructed enough of the roads, required by. his timber sale contract, to service at least 60 per cent of the timber to be cut, in Digest 2) washes clothes UP0 '' cluding all roads required by his contract which are planned or needed as access routes for other national for est timber sales during the period of extension. Exception Made An exception may be made when cutting of lesser amounts of timber or con structing lesser amounts of roads is justified because of lowered lumber prices, mar ket demand or other compar able developments which oc cur after the contract was awarded. "Hereafter," ' said Stone, "unless there are other con siderations advantageous to the United States, applications which fail to meet this stand ard will not be considered."
