Remembers First Cry

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

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? . On one hand
there are the emaciated, rag-
Nails Near Tire
Facfory Irk Trucker
Nottingham, England - (UPD
-Truck driver Ronald Matth
ews was a bit peeved Monday
when he picked up 25 punc
tures in two of his tires right
outside a tire factory. -
Factory representatives,
looking at hundreds of nails
scattered all over the road,
denied they were trying to
drum up business.
.A sack of nails had fallen
from a truck as it turned into
the factory gate, they said.
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.

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

"I value honesty ... in my

Without courage you are even

and showed me, with exasper
ation, the hem she was trying
to lengthen. "They are clever

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

"So I tell him that the per

follow my children around
which doesn't happen to their

them that they wound prob

"Children have so much to

with their toy cupboards full

'what shall we do, mama?
and I can't help remembering

Timber Sale Contract- Extension
Policy Revised by Forest Service
Portland-The chief of the
Forest Service in Washington,
D.C., has announced a revi
sion of the policy on the ex
tension of timber sale con
tracts, according to Regional
Forester J. 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."
