David Niven, S 10 Awards Given To Movie 'Gigi' HOLLYWOOD (UPI) — Flame-haired Susan Hayward and suave David Niven, two veterans of movie making, reigned today as the best actress and actor of 1958. Miss Hayward, 39, a four-time loser, was honored for her performance in "I Want to Live" by the Motion Picture Academy of Arts and Sciences at its 31st annual Academy Awards presentation Monday night while a real-life drama quietly unfolded at the theater as police checked out a false bomb threat. Niven, 49, was honored for his role in "Separate Tables." "Gigi," a technicolor musical based on the novel by French authoress Colette, was named the best film and garnered nine Oscars. One honorary award put the awards bestowed on "Gigi" at 10 to place it in a tie with all-time award winner "Gone With The Wind" in 1939. "The Best Years of Our Lives" won nine awards in 1946.

"The Best Years of Our Lives" won nine awards in 1946. Win Supporting Awards Burl Ives, folksinger-turned-acutor, was named best supporting actor for his role in "The Big Country" and England's Wendy Hiller was voted best supporting actress for her portrayal in "Separate Tables." Vincente Minnelli won a golden statuette for his direction of "Gigi." The song "Gigi" from the picture of the same name also captured an Oscar, as did the film's musical scoring by Andre Previn and its screenplay as based on material from another medium by Alan Jay Lerner. "Gigi" also won Oscars in the categories of art direction, costume design, film editing and cinematography. "Gigi" was one of the few musicals to win an Oscar as the best picture. The last musical to win was "American in Paris" in 1951. The best story and screenplay award went to Nathan E. Douglas and Harold Jacob Smith for "The Defiant Ones," a tense story of two prisoners—a Negro and a white—who escaped police while handcuffed together. Missouri State Chancellor was honored for his "many contributions to show business" with a special award and producer Jack L. Warner received the Irving Thalberg Award for his contributions to the production of motion pictures. The award is presented only when the academy feels it is merited. Actress Ingrid Bergman, returning to Hollywood after a 10-year absence touched off by her romance with director Roberto Rossellini, received a thunderous ovation at the awards program when she appeared to present the best picture award. The Oscar winners were all pre-program favorites. There were no surprises.

The next year he purchased the equipment of the defunct Santa Monica Bulletin and founded a six-day morning daily, the Anaheim Bulletin. The early Bulletin had 15 employees and a small flatbed press. In the present building on S. Lemon St., that was occupied in 1946, a 12-page rotary press was in use and three years later it was increased to 16 pages. Three years ago it was increased to 24 pages and next June, a new pressroom a block away, will house a 64-page Hoe press with three-color deck. Mr. Loudon also published the Santa Ana Bulletin in the mid-30s but closed it in 1935. During his long service in Anaheim, Mr. Loudon was president of the Chamber of Commerce and Lions Club, Exalted Ruler of the Elks Club, one of the businessmen who formed the Anaheim Industrial Land Co. to bring industry to Anaheim, and one of those who helped Anaheim obtain Metropolitan Water District service.

Investigation by City Attorney Fred Johnston disclosed that the petitioners are bound by the California State Election's Code to publish a statement of intent 21 days before they can legally go about gathering names. This was not done. Had they done so, and had the names on the petition checked out as belonging to duly registered voters, then a general election to decide whether Stanton would remain a city or be dissolved would have been held. Of the total 506 signatures, 81 were invalidated for technical reasons. The remaining 425 still met the 20 percent of registered voters at the last general State election requirement. The person or group responsible for originating the petition still remains a mystery. By CHARLES G. FREDERICKS United Press International SACRAMENTO (UPI) — Californians are saddling their grandchildren and their children with a fantastic debt and are jeopardizing the financing of development projects, an investment banking spokesman said today. Phillip Gregory, a representative of the Investment Bankers Association, said that eastern investors are attracted by California bond issues only when the interest rate is comparatively high. "Right now," Gregory said, "there is a total of $2,300,000,000 in state and local bonds authorized but unsold—and this doesn't include the more than a billion dollars in proposed bond issues which the Legislature is now considering." "The state is going to have to pay more than 41 million dollars in interest alone next year on its outstanding bonds, and this money must eventually come from the taxpayers' pockets." Interest Costs Millions The treasurer's office revealed that the state currently is carrying more than one and one half billion dollars in bonded indebtedness. The interest on these bonds, which will be retired in 1990, will total in excess of 475 million dollars. Gov. Edmund G.

Employment shot up by more than a million to nearly 64 million jobs during the same period. The drop in the jobless total was about twice as large as normal for this time of year. Even so, last month's unemployment was the highest for any post-war period, except for recession-scarred 1958. Employment increased by a 1,-106,000 to 63,528,000 in March. The number of jobs usually goes up about half that amount from February to March. The seasonally adjusted rate of unemployment fell to 5.8 per cent after sticking at the 6 per cent level for most of the winter. Dr. Seymour Wolfbein, manpower and statistics expert for the Labor Department, said practically all of the decline in unemployment was concentrated among men 25 or older who form the nation's prime working group. Wolfbein commented on the statistics at first news conference the Eisenhower administration has held to explain the jobless figures.
