' . ; Lanza's Troubles With Tax Matters, Weight Reported By BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD Two years go, Mario Lanza, a Philadelphia boy with a golden .voice, was on easy street. His film "The Oreat Caruso" was one of the (op, money makers of all times. He earned $1,100,000 In one year, more than half of It from phonograph records. He was tho hottest property In show busi ness. Today at 33, he Is In debt to the United States government and has virtually no savings. He Is faced with the Job of rebuilding a. career that has been at a standstill for 34 months. What happened? How did he get into such poor shape, both finanr clally and physically? That's what I aimed to find out. , , Before you shed any., tears over Lanza's plight, let me add that he la living very well In a huge man sion with his pretty wile Betty, his four, children and a crew of servants. He has been eating well too, end that has been one of his troubles. "Lookl" said Mario, stripping off his dark blue sport shirt. He flexed tte muscles In his huge chest. "Is that fat? No, not on your life. That's muscle. I've always had a 90-inch chest, no matter what kind of shape I was in. It's Just this I've got to get rid of and I'm making rapid progress." He patted the spare tire around his belly, which is still consider able. He Is touchy about his weight problem, but he denied reports that he watt addicted to spaghetti and other Italian dishes. "It is not the pasta that gives me trouble.' he said. "I am a great steak man." Why did he eat himself into such lie? He said it was because of the emotion problems that beset him. One of the major causes was dis illusionment over his ilnnnces. He claims hlH money frittered away because of handling by his formtr manager, Sam Weller. Wcllcr de nies it. The courts will decide who is right. Lama said he was also upset by his troubles with hh studio, MGM. These started after The Oreat Carusu." "We had hit a high mark with that picture," he said, "and I wanted to maintain that quality. But when I reported for work, I found out they wanted me to start in an Army picture, 'Because Vou're Mine." "Who wanted to see an Armv picture? People were tired of war. I tried to tell the producer that. But he Just said. -I know show bus iness: you need a change of pace.' " Lanza did the picture and It was not a success. His relations with MOM Worsened. Alter he tailed to report for the start ot "Student Prince." the studio slapped a five- million-dollar damage suit on him. fhc suit was later settled and his voice was used In the film. I couldn't work for a year and a quarter," he said. "I even had to give up my radio show ior Coca Cola. They had olfercd me a fabulous deal to sign up on a long- term contract and be their ambas sador throughout the world. Sure. I had my trouoies. They printed all kinds of lies about me, but I never answered them. 1 nave never believed In wnsning oiriy linen for the public view. I got fat. But you 11 notice I never paraded myself in. public. Show business is a world of Illu sion, and I never want to destroy that illusion." . That was the reason he gave ior not owning up to flic fact that old recordings were u&cd lor his TV debut on the "Shower of Stars." He still has no regrets about the incident, declaring he was caught between a doctor who wouldn't let him sing and a network that want ed him to appear. He'll make his second TV ap pearance on shower oi btnrs this Thursday. He II sing a Tos- ' alra and "Some Day" and you can bet your boots that no record ings will be treed. . .

SALEM The contest for governor of Oregon, overshadowed by the struggle for United States senator, hasn't developed any clear-cut issues, and Gov. Paul L.

Seven burly football players resigned hi a body from the Adrian College football team. They turned in their Jcr- seys and said they were going home. The reason? Homesickness. Senator Attends Russian Musical MOSCOW iJPt U.S. Sen. Mar garot Chase smith (R.Maine) spent a musical Sunday in Mos cow. She attended a recital by Uie Kea army cnorus In the afternoon and went to a ballet performance at the Ballet Theater last night. me senator said sne had re ceived no reply as yet on her re quest for an interview with Pre. nuer Georgl Malenkov. She said she plans to lesve the Soviet Un ion Thursday. Both candidates are pitching tneir election bids on promises oi more industries for Oregon. Carson, a lawyer as is Patterson, says Patterson is responsible for the large unemployment each win ter, and that Carson would get new Industries through low-cost public power. But Patterson, pointing out that he has a state development com mission working on the problem, says he's doing all he can, and that the unemployment problem is greatly exaggerated by the Demo crats. Democratic leaders aren't very optimistic about Car.'-on's chance because they recognize that Patter son is very popular. His smashing victory in the primary election, over Secretary of State Earl ,T. Newbry, is proof of tot.. . ; ' While Carson Is all out for public power, Patterson hasn't mentioned where he stands on the power ipsue. However, some time ago ho did say he supported the Elsen hower-McKay partnersnlp plan. Patterson was somewhat disap pointed when he didn't get the en. dorsement of the state AFL and CIO organizations. He points out that in the 1953 Legislature, he opposed the bill to limit picketing to organizations which have con tracts with the employer beinrs picketed. He did sign the bill, however, with the explanation that he Just wanted a court test of it. Patterson's supporters point out that back in the 30's, when Carson was mayor of Portland, he was a conservative Democrat, and wasn't considered a friend of labor. Carson says he wants to do away with "useless boards and commis sions," opposes legislation to re strict labor, would fight a sales tax, wants bigger old age pensions, and better schools.' Patterson, accused ' by Sen. Wavne Morse of "straddling" the Issues, said he would support sales tax only after all other kinds POOLE'S 222 So. 7th The Yeor 'Round TOY STORE ft - i 53 .

Patterson, then president of the! State Senate, unexpectedly became governor on Dec. IT, 1952. when then Oov. Douglas McKay became Secretary of the Interior. I Another man who was disappoint ed, and somewhat angered by la bor's endorsement, Is State Sen. S. Eugene Allen, Portland. Allen is the Republican candidate foi labor commissioner, and the backing of labor went to his Demo cratic opponent, Norman O. Nilsen, Portland plumber. The reason Allen vis sore about this Is that he was editor of the AFL's Oregon Labor Press for l.T years, and was credited by labor with having a perfect voting rec ord for labor in the last Legisla ture. Allen thinks this Is a stab in the back, and he takes to task his former AFL cohorts lor becoming too wedded to the Democrats. Allen resigned recently as secre tary of the Restaurant Owners Assn. He also has been chairman of the Portland school board. Allen, because he Is much better known than Nilsen, is a heavy fa vorite to win. However, he's wor- ried about his chances. ! In the primary election. Alien' defeated H. E. Barker, Salem labor leader, for the Republican nomination. Now Barker has bolt ed, asking his supporters to vote for Nilsen.
