(UPI Telephoto) Punching Cattle, Slopping Hogs Part of Actress' New Life in Australia . Hollywood - row - What : glamorous screen actress . . punches cattle, teaches school in a sheep - shearing shed, paints her house by hand and slops the hogs? Answer: Anne Baxter. Back in movietown for a brief visit after four months . . in her new Australian home, ; Annie likes the rugged life ; . in the bush better than the! plush splendors of Bel Air. Last February Anne married ' rancher Randolph Gait, an -' American who herds some --" 4,000 cattle on a 37,000-acre, ranch in the wilds of New South Wales. Since then she " : has been leading a frontier life and loving it. V " Wears Dungarees . "I live in dungarees," Anne -. said at MGM studies where - - she is filming a few addition . . al scenes for "Cimarron." "I've painted the house and -- redecorated as much as pos-.-1 sible. My garbage disposal is a fat old sow named Freda. . And I ride horseback almost every day. I also go on long hikes and find myself talking to the cattle. - "About three weeks ago I called one old cow some bad . names and she charged me. I scrambled through a barbed wire fence and tore a few . holes in my pants." . Neighbors Far Away- - Anne's nearest neighbors live 10 miles away, an hour- - and-a-half trip by automobile, . - . somewhat shorter if she rides her horse. Frequently when the local . school teacher, who lives at ' the ranch, travels the 180 miles to Sidney, Anne takes over as school-marm for the two students. "Katrina, my 9-year-old daughter, and Lynette Stack- - - man, 8, are the pupils," Anne - -laughed. "Lynette" lives ' at . one of our ranch headquar ters. I'm learning as much as the girls are." Does the rough and ready life of the bush grow- weari some after the luxurious life the actress lived in Holly wood? "Not at all," she said. "I'm the luckiest of women. I live two kinds of life-the frontier and the city lights of Sydney. We have a landing strip for our plane in our front yard. Often we fly to Sydney for a party and stay overnight at our flat there. "But most of my life at the ranch - we call it a 'station' down there - is extremely primitive. : "You make your own world in Australia's back country If . you aren't 'resourceful, you d better not go down there. As for, myself,, I will only leave to make-a good movie now and then." . Portland Boy, 6, Killed by Auto Portland (UPD - Joplin Shin no, - 8, Portland, was killed Wednesday night when he was struck by a car while riding a bicycle here. - The six-year-old youth died at Providence hospital at 7:10 p.m., an hour after the acci dent. John M. Morford. 48, the driver of the car, and a teach er at the Rigler grade school, told police he was westbound on N.' E. Lombard St.; ap proaching the ' intersection when he saw the boy on his bicycle near the intersection on . 27th ave. Morford said the boy speeded up and at tempted to cross in front- of the car.

Lusk (D-Ore.) will spend an other week at his home here before leaving for San Ansel mo, Calif., for the July 30 marriage of his daughter, Jeanne Lusk.
