More than 100 big names from Ingrid Bergman to Kddio Fisher cave a nationwide television audi ence an electronic peek at Holly wood's biggest night of the year. The acceptance speeches were so short that the NBC-TV show end ed some 20 minutes before its two-hour schedule.

Senate Labor Indicates Tax SALEM (AP) The Senate La-I bor and Industries Committee in dicated Monday it would propose only a slight increase in unem ployment compensation taxes for employers. , The committer, which plans to take final action today, appeared to favor a bill by Sen. Carl franc-is (R-Dayton) that would tax the first $3,800 of a worker s wage or salary only until the unemploy ment trust fund gets bunt up to six per cent of the total payrolls in the state. This figure, under current economic conditions, would be about 63 million dollars. When the fund reaches that point, then only the first $3,600 would be taxed. The present law taxes only the first $3,600. The Unemployment Compensation Commission's ad visory Council recommended that the first $4,200 be taxed. The tax rate would be 2.7 per cent of payrolls until the fund reaches the 51 million dollar mark. Then there would be a sliding scale of rates ranging from 1.3 to 2.7 per cent. Employ ers who maintain stable employ ment would benefit by the lower rates. The rate now is 2.7 per cent. Before a year ago, it varied from .3 of 1 per cent to 2.7 per cent, but all employers were forced to pay 2.7 per cent when the fund fell below the 31 million dollar "floor." This , occurred April 1 1958. The committee feels that the fund eventually will be built up by keeping the 2.7 rate in effect. The fund, now totaling 17 million , CinfrimHi-'Opt mit MCTffOCVtOt!

M G M (, Committee Increases dollars, totaled 85 million 10 years ago. The committee delayed action on bills to tighten up on qualm cations for jobless benefits. These bills also will stop the drain on the fund. It approved a bill to permit the governor to borrow federal funds when the fund shrinks to a dan gerously low level. Ex-Gov. Rob ert D. Holmes tried to borrow 14 million dollars of federal money a year ago, but was blocked by an attorney general's opinion that he could not do so under existing law. The committee tabled the pro posed payroll decline system, un der which employers with stable employment would get credits against future taxes. The same result, however, is accomplished by adopting the merit rating scale of 1.3 to 2.7 per cent. The committee voted to dis qualify women who become prcg nant and who leave work, from the dale she leaves work until six weeks after her baby is born. Under present law, a woman can quit work prior to her expected confinement and draw benefits up to six weeks before the baby is born. DA Drops Kidnaping PALM SPRINGS. Calif.
