to newspaper men. "Always
complaining about my driv

Story
Editor's not: This Is the third
cf five dispatches in which Ingrid
Bergman talks of her life, her re
grets and her hopes as she revealed
them to a British newsman who
was her guest for two weeks in
Wales. Today Miss Bergman recalls
her own childhood, and the "night
mare" that began for her when she
left Hollywood and her husband to
join Roberto Rossellini and bear
his child out of wedlock.
By RALPH COOPER
Written for UPI
"I had a good childhood,"
Ingrid Bergman said quietly.
"Nobody beat me; we were
not rich, but we did not
starve."
She had started by saying
that as a child she lived in
a world of her own, and I
asked about that.
"I was very often very lone
ly as a child," she said.
"My mother died when I
was two, my father when I
was twelve. ,
"I went to live with an
aunt and a , year later she
died in my arms . . . and I
rang and rang for help and
nobody came.
"Perhaps those experiences
helped to make me whatever
I am today. I don't say you
have to suffer to learn to be
tolerant . . .,but I am sure
that if you do .have to suffer,
then it helps you to under
stand other people better."
, Ingrid adored her father.
"He was a painter and a
musician and he . had been
away from Sweden to study."
She waved her arms toward
the Welsh hills. "How he
would have- loved all this : . .
He would have been up hers
painting it . . and loving
every minute of.it."
Lived With Uncle .
After her" father and her
aunt died, Ingrid went to live
with an uncleand his family
and uncle, unlike father, had
not travelled.- He also viewed
young Ingrid, .'at thirteen, as
a "grave responsibility."
Ingrid chuckled at the
thought of .those days, al
though when she had to live
through them there were
many times when she was
nearer to tears than laughter.
"I sometimes wonder how
my father and his brothers
and sisters happened at all,
because his parents were so
very strict. Everything was
a sin!
"Music, except sacred mu
sic, was sinful, so was danc
ing . . . And for the girls it

was sinful to look at another
man. I guess it was the same
sort of thing you had in Vic
torian times.
"My uncle had not traveled
much and he shared my
grandparents' ideas.
"I remember him comiftg
into my room on one Sunday
when I was mending my
clothes and tidying up my af
fairs, and thundering at me,
'This is sinful ... No work
shall be done in this house on
a Sunday.'
Uncle Relents
"When I told him I wanted
to go on the stage' you can
imagine the reception that
idea received. 'The theater,'
he declared, 'will not be men

"My father left a photo

into that . .". but I knew there
was only one life for me. I
cried and cried, and said I
would commit suicide. I plead

"In the end the poor man
relented. He said, because he
could not bear to see me cry,
I might try for the state
drama scholarship when. I
had finished my ordinary
studies . . . 'and after that,
we will have no more talk
of the theater,' he added om

Holmes Opposes
State Gasoline
Tax Increases :
Salem-TOPD-Gov. Robert D.
Holmes has taken a. strong
ly in opposition to any increase
stand in opposition to any in
crease in the state' gasoline tax
or vehicular license fees.
The governor spoke at a
public meeting sponsored by
the Salem Labor council. He
said he was opposed to any
increase above the present
levels of either the gasoline
tax or vehicular license fee
"unless and until it' has been
demonstrated that such in
creases are absolutely neces
sary." Can-Meet Demands -
The governor said that Ore
gon could meet the demands
for an expanded highway pro
gramvithout the increase.
The increase has been pro
posed by the Legislative In
terim Committee on High
ways. Holmes said it was a mat
ter of public knowledge that
the federal government "con
templates" proposing sharp in
creases in taxes on automobile-sales
to finance national
highway construction pro
grams. ' '
Merry-Go-Round
Holmes said the commit
tee's proposal was - for . taxa
tion on the same items for the
same . purpose. "It becomes
evident that we shall have
embarked on a merry - go
round of increasing taxes at
one level which forces us to
increase taxes at another
level in order to .secure the
contingent benefits for which
we earlier submitted to ' in
creased taxes at the original
level," he said.
The governor said this, was
neither "sensible nor neces
sary ."-He suggested the com
mittee examine and identify

tion plan. .
me in one of my early Swed
ish films and said, I am proud
of you!"
"I am so glad my father
took me to the theater before
he died. Because I was able
to tell him I wanted to be an
actress . . . and he knew and
understood. He used to go
round telling his friends
proudly, 'My Ingrid is going
to be an actress.' And that
meant so much to me . . . not
only then, but many, many
times since.
"Once I had been to the
theater I knew that was the
world where I belonged . . .
the world of make-believe.
"I hated school because I
was taller than the others
and wakward and shy. And
I was lonely always."
Helped By One Man
A different kind of loneli
ness began for Ingrid Berg
man when Hollywood, slam
med the door in her face.
It was a nightmare that
eventually drove her ' to de
cide: "I will definitely retire
and give up the greatest love
of my life acting."
One man brought, her out
of that nightmare and back
to world fame . . and a Mo
tion Picture Academy Oscar.
"The man was Anatole Lit
vak," Ingrid told me. Many
other people are said to have
been responsible, but it was
Anatole.
"He came to see me one
day and said 'I want to make
a picture with you.' It was
'Anastasia.' I knew the story
already, had read a lot. about
it, so he did not even have
to show me a script.
"Anatole was convinced,
and convinced me, that I
could make an international
come-back. He had complete
faith that time healed any
wounds, and was willing to
stake a fortune on it. I
"I told Anatole 'You get
the film together, and I'm
with you.' He .went to Darryl
Zanuck and' the' film ' that
brought ; me the . Oscar " was
made." ' ..... f. .
I asked Ingrid i Bergman
why 'her .own. people . should
have' joined so viciously" in
condemning her when she
first went to Italy with Ros
sellini. ' ' . t r
Could Not Understand
"You must, remember, .. I
was married to a Swede
So they 'did not like it that
I should -leave him - for an
Italian, whom -they - would
find dificult to understand
anyway. . i
"You must remember - the
old fairy, tale . . . about the
king who lined all his people
up . . . and cut off the 'heads,
of all ; the-tall-' ones -so that,
nobody should be biggerfthan
anyone else?" That was how it
was in Sweden. It was hot
right to-be- different. J
"I found that bitter 'anti'
feeling very difficult to - un
derstand at the. time, because
there is so much that is really
great about my second hus
band, Roberto- A veryimuch
more complex and different
person to understand . i . but
in so many ways a great man
an exciting person to live
with.
1
"Those who met us together
said 'Ah, now we understand'
. . . and I'used to say "thank
you very much ... I hope you
will tell everybody. el$e!'
"I'm "so glad I" left Ameri
ca when I did. If it hadn't
happened .the way it pid it
would . have happened! some
other way. It .was like an
SOS. I had to get away."

she do it all oyer again?
