HOLLYWOOD.


To her Hollywood acquaintances.
at least, the funniest joker in the
long studied Ingrid Bergman
divorce announcement was the
statement that the actress would
"retire" from the screen after the
completion of her current chore
on the island of Stromboli.
Ingrid has long been known as
the colony's most avid career
woman. She eats, sleeps and lives
pictures. Ever since David o. Selz-
nick brought her to this country
a dozen years ago, she has applied
herself to her career as carefully
and methodically as medical or
law student would to his future
profession.
During all her pictures here
she's been on the set regardless
of whether the days shooting
called for her appearance. With
her own small camera she takes
movies of everything that goes
on. She is constantly reading and
searching out prospective vehicles
She has made a showmanlike
study of box-office tastes and
whims throughout the country
She can tell you how much Joan
of Arc" crossed in Grand Rapids,
Mich, and what the weather con-
ditions were in st. Louis when the
picture played there.
Never Anything Simple.
Under the circumstances, 1t is
hardly to be expected that Roberto
Rossellini, whom she'll wed after
her divorce, will completely take
the place Of motion pictures for
Ingrid. The announcement Of her
retirement" is therefore vastly
exaggerated, to say the least.
Hollywood, of course, must do
even the simplest things in the
sumptuous, bizarre manner. For
instance, the announcement re-
leased by Ingrid from Stromboli
required the presence there of a
man named Joseph Steele, gen.
orally regarded as the best trouble
shooting public relations counsel
in film business.
With the situation growing hot
ter by the day in the Italian pic
ture- making camp, Ingrid sent
out an sos for her old friend
Steele to hurry over and get her
as good a press as possible.
Steele left Hollywood July Is,
travelling some 5000 miles to con-
suit with the actress and her boy
friend director. whack out the
200-word statement and stage a
press conference. Howard Hughes,
for whose RKO studio the film
is being made, had a couple of
press agents on the job over
there, but these routine lads
wouldn't do for Bergman in such
a dire pinch as this one.
A Hollywood Colossus.
Reading the name of Joseph
Steele in the dispatches from the
Bergman camp, many have ex-
pressed curiosity over his connec-
ton with the case. Why should
he be called to fly half way round
the world to handle the simple
announcement of Bergman's i'm
pending divorce? What sort OF
press giant is the man. anyway?
Actually, Joe Steele is just that
"a colossus among the free-lance
publicists of Hollywood. A dark.
handsome fellow in his early
SOS, quiet, conservative and
neatly dressed in the Eastern
rather than the Hollywood fash
ion, Steele creates a favorable
first-hand impression wherever he
goes. AS a former newspaper re-
porter and later a motion-picture
producer, he has shrewd judg-
ment and an ability to put his
thoughts into writing.

WASHINGTON, (P) - 4 new mine incentive bill which has the approval of the interio. depart ment and the budget bureau vas announced today by Senator O. Mahoney D.-WyoD
 He said it would authorize the government to share in the cost of exploration for metals and min erals and would allow the govern ment to purchase production of marginal mines at prices which would permit them to continue operation.
 The measure was described oy O'Mahoney as a revision O. the bill he and Senators Hayden D. ArizD and Malone R.-NevD intro duced earlier. He said he has sent it to members of his public lands committee for study.
 "I am satisfied that the revised bill will meet with the approval of the President, if passed by Con- gress," he said in a statement.
 Aid under the bill would be ex- tended only to mines where the closing of the property would, tor technical or economic reasons, probably mean the permanent loss of their mineral resources, O'AIa- honey explained.
