Ginger Rogers For Equal Opportunity Climbs Bandwagon Os Women's Groups By GAB PAULEY UPI Women’* Editor NEW YORK (UPI) — Ginger Rogers turns out to be a feminist as well as an actress. It is time, says the blonde star, that the nation caught up with the times and granted equal rights to, women. i "Equal pay for equal work, and especially equal opportunity. Why shouldn’t women have these things," said Miss Rogers, who once won a movie Oscar for her characterization of a working girl named Kitty Foyle. Miss Rogers climbs on the "bandwagon with the business and professional women’s clubs and other women’s groups who have tried for years to get equal rights legislation enacted. Measures to guarantee them are offered consistently in Congress, but none has ever gotten out of committee. Willing to Help The B and PW hopes to get

such a bill Introduced in the next session. And Miss Rogers said in an interview she’s willing to offer any help she can. She said the equal opportunity issue long has interested her, particularly as it realtes to the motion picture industry. "Oh sure, they let us women act," she said. “But how many women directors or producers can you name? They’ll let a woman drive, a cab, but not operate a camera. "And why is there no woman on the stock exchange?" “Keeping a woman back because she is a woman is ridiculous," Miss Rogers said. "Ideas have no gender. I’m just as capable of thinking as a man. Why just because the idea comds from a woman does it get turned down?” Concedes Exceptions Exist Hie actress conceded there are many exceptions, that numerous women have succeeded in spite of the “double standard.” “But they’re looked on as oddities," she said. “Why all the to-do when a woman becomes an ambassador!” "Sometimes," she continued, “it is difficult for a man to recognize woman’s ability . .. it’s sort of like ‘ the old fight between the North and the South. The war is over, but the battle is still on.” But men alone are not to blame. "Both sexes are guilty of the oppression,” she said. "Haven’t you heard women tearing down other women who get ahead ~. they do it with a real viciousness. They seem to think, “If I can’t, why should she?’ “ The actress came to New York from her Hollywood home to plan details of her first television show this fall, an hour long variety show Oct. 15 (on CBS).

Citizens Os Frisco Like Lineup's Cast Television Show Adopted By Locals By VERNON SCOTT UPI Hollywood Correspondent SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) — This city by the bay, which generally looks down its nose at rambunctious Hollywood, has adopted a television show which depicts its beauties, bridges and byways every week. The program is "The Lineup,” a series about San Francisco’s cops. When producer Jaime Del Valle first brought the show to be filmed here the local citizenry was suspicious. Previous invasion by TV and movie folk had left the city upset. Movietown hotshots blocked off streets, ran roughshod over merchants and officials, and behaved generally as if they were dealing with bumpkins. San Franciscans, a proud and sophisticated lot, had had it. Win, City’s Heart But that was six years ago. Since then Del Valle and his crew have won the city's heart. Their trucks and equipment are now a part of the San Francisco scene. The nine-vehicle caravan sets up as many as 12 different locations a day. The natives cooperate, but, in their own cosmopolitan way, take everything in stride. Rarely does a crowd collect to watch. "Our fondness for the city—mine and the crew and the actors —is reflected in the show,” says Del Valle, “which is one reason why we get along up here. “I spend 22 weeks a year in San Francisco and know it better than the police do. It's a wonderful place to shoot film. “Everywhere you look you have great backgrounds. It’s the most colorful city in the world. The architecture runs from French to Victorian to provincial to modern. And all of it is picturesque. “We hire the major share of actors right here, which pleases local acting circles. Local People Cooperate “The people know we aren't chiseling or condescending, and they cooperate with us as much as possible. We don’t behave as if we’re doing the city a big favor just by being here." Del Valle was sitting in his convertible sedan on a quiet residential street. A half dozen moppets were crawling over it, watching Warner Anderson and Tom Tully, the stars, go through thoir paces. "After we shoot our; exterior sequences here we return to Hollywood for interiors,” Del Valle, went on. “It’s something of a double life for all of us. “But we do feel as if the city has adopted us. “Only one thing puzzles me,” Del Valle added. “Even though the city seems proud of the show it has one of the lowest viewing ratings of any big city as far as ‘The Lineup’ goes. > “We’ve even run special surveys on the problem. But no one has been able to figure it out.”

Party Leaders Sign Fair Campaign Code Sign Code On Fair Campaign Practices WASHINGTON (UPI) — The chairmen of the Democratic and Republican national committees are both against “dirty campaigning.” But they disagree over whether it's “dirty” to call President Eisenhower a “part - time president.” Democratic Chairman Paul M. Butler and GOP Chairman Meade Alcorn Wednesday signed a “code of fair campaign practices” which will be presented candidates of both parties seeking office this faU. It pledges signers to condemn personal vilification, whispering campaigns, slander, misrepresentations, appeals based on race, creed, or nationality and other practices. At a joint news conference afterward, Alcorn said Democrats would violate the code by calling Eisenhower a "part-time president” because it was not a truthful statement Butler disagreed. He said Democrats would keep on trying to persuade the American people that ,the charge was true. , . The party chairmen were asked how appeals to race could, be ruled out in view of the attention now being given to school integration problems. Butler said he did not interpret the pledge to mean that the Democrats could not discuss the racial issue or President Eisenhower’s and the GOP record on if. Alcorn said he agreed that the code did not rule out debate on the party records on this issue. He added that it would not prevent the GOP from commenting on the attitude of such Democrats as Gov. Orval Faubus of Arkansas and Sen. James O. Eastland of Mississippi. Butler was asked how he felt about Faubus, leader of the Southern fight against court orders calling for mixing the races in schools. He said he would repeat what he had said before—that Faubus’ views were not consistent with those of the Democratic Party and that the party repudiated them.

Soil Bank Benefits Are Many - Chairman Aid To Scale Down Farm Operations Farmers in Adams county who want to scale down their farming operations have an opportunity to do so by putting part or all of their cropland in the 1959 conservation reserve of the sdil bank, chairman Victor Bleeke, of the county agricultural stabilization and conservation committee, explained today. The chairman pointed out that by taking advantage of the program, farmers could: <l> reduce 1 costs for equipment, seed, fertilizer, insecticides, or other cash outlays necessary in farming operations: (2) reduce the need for extra labor; and (3) reduce the hazards of uncertain markets and prices for farm commodities. When cropland is put in the conservation reserve, it is taken out of production and put to conservation uses, Bleeke said. Cost-share payments are made to farmers to help with the establishment of the conservation practices and annual per-acre rental payments are made on the land for the duration of the contract. This is assured income from the land for the life of the contract regardless of weather, crop diseases, insect pests, variations in market prices or other farming hazards. Chairman Bleeke emphasized that annual payment rates for land put in the program are higher if all eligible land on a farm is put in the conservation reserve. Generally, he said, this available extra payment is 10 per cent above the regular annual payment rate for land on the farm. Even when all of the eligible land on a farm
