|RosseIIini Invited
Ito u. 5. Court Hearino
By the Associated Press

LOS ANGELES, June Italian
Movie Director Roberto Rossellini
has until June 20 to appear in
court here if he wishes to answer
testimony by his wife's former
husband, DR.. Peter Lindstrom,
that he has a reputation for i'm
morality. -
Mr.. Rossellini, husband of
Swedish Actress Ingrid Bergman,
objected to testimony during the
hearing on her petition for sum-
mer custody of her daughter
Jenny Ann, that he is regarded as
a drug addict and sometimes lives
with mistresses who are married
to other men,"
Mr.. Rossellini's cablegram, read
to the court by Miss Bergman's
attorney, Gregson Bautzer, jr.,
drew from Superior Judge Mildred
L. Lille permission to appear and
defend himself. The Italian direc-
tor said he was induced to come
here because Lindstrom's cal
umnies bear reflection on my
children and also on Ingrid s
daughter"
There appears to be some ques-
ton as to whether Mr.. Rossellini
can obtain a visa to enter the
United States, since public Off
Gals previously have opposed his
entrance. Chairman johnson OF
the Senate Commerce Committee
opposed Mr.. Rossellini on the
ground "he is an alien character
guilty of moral turpitude." Sena-
tor johnson said he could not
qualify under United States i'm
migration laws.
In Rome, Mr.. Rossellini said last
night he had not decided what
action he would take. He is await
ing word of 1ngrid's expectant
birth of twins.

Light Plant Profit
Increased In 1851
Report Of Commissioner Ward
Shows Net Profit $40, 400 More
Than Last Year.

During the year 1851 the Munich
pal Electric Light Plant enjoyed a
net profit of 1920, 1868, or an in
crease over 1850 of $2O,4O084.
Joseph S. Ward, the member of
the Board of Public Works in charge
of the Light Plant, in making this
statement, pointed out that it was
made despite the increased cost of
operation.
Mr.. Wards statement also showed
that the plants gross revenue for
1851 amounted to $947, OOO.08, rep
resenting an increase over 1850 of
$50, 28461.
The operating expenses and de-
probation for 1851 was 1924, 374.45,
which was $62, 602.61 more than the
previous year. The statement also
shows that during 1851, 4,105,258
XVIII more were sold this year than
last and, of course, this increase had
a great part in accomplishing the in
creased profit for the year.
Commenting on the prospects for
the plant in 1852, Mr.. Ward stated
that the outlook depends largely
upon any increases in the cost of
coal, wages, salaries, ETC., and the
curtailing, as much as is practical, of
additional installations.

Around Town With
The Editor

Now that the primary elections are
over, all we second guessers have
been busy trying to figure out just
why this one won and that one lost
Needless to say, because of my out
spoken support of Mayor Mills for
the Republican nomination to the
Senate, 1 have been the center in
quite lot of this second guessing
and you who read this column might
as well know about my second
guesses too.
AS far as Mr.. Mills is concerned,
his defeat in Washington County can
be laid in two things. First, he did
not have the backing of the official
Republican Party in the county who,
from the beginning, threw their
weight behind Congressman Beall,
and second, the majority of the Re-
publican voters of Hagerstown who
cast their ballots, were evidently in
fluenced against him because of the
situation in the City Hall, which
dates back to the bitter fight over
the North End shopping center.
In this respect, my contention is
that any member of the city adj
ministration would have been just
as badly beaten had they been run
ming for any Office in the recent pri-
mary.
Turning now to the Democratic
side of the picture in the Senate race,
you have the very opposite situation.
Here we have the official Democratic
Party in the State solidly behind
Congressman Sasscer, only to find
themselves soundly trounced by Ma
tional Committeeman Mahoney.
1t is my belief that the reason that
Sasscer was defeated was because
too many people were disguised with
the way the official party threw
over Senator O'Conor who, in my
opinion, did "a bang-up job during
his six years of office, and they show
ed their disgust very plainly when
they went to the polls.
Finally, in the Sixth Congressional
District election, it was simply a
case of Montgomery County getting
solidly behind both Mr.. Hyde, the
Republican nominee, and Mrs.
Werner, the Democratic nominee,
while General Marley and State
Senator Kimble were splitting up
their Republican votes in the other
four counties, and Mr.. Allen ran a
poor second on the Democratic side
in Montgomery County, his home
county.
In this connection it is also inter
esting to note that General Marley,
although not supported by the Wash
ington County official party, got the
top vote in the county.
For my part have the satisfaction
of knowing that l not only worked
for the candidate of my choice, but
that l also, in addition to voting my
self, got as many more as I possibly
could to do the same thing.
In Washington County little bet
ter than 40 per cent of the voters
went to the polls which, to be quite
frank, is about 10 per cent more than
l expected, but it is still a shocking
situation when practically so per
cent of the eligible Republican vot-
ers (and for that matter about the
same percentage of Democrats) were
not interested enough in their |
country to exercise their right to cast
a ballot
