Yearning to settle her feud with Columbia Pictures and go back to work and earn her own money, Rita finally had a spat Saturday with Dick and walked ‘out “to think things out.” She had stuck with him through his long battle with the Immigra tion Service, which tried unsuc cessfully to deport him to his native Argentina. Now that Dick can stay in America, Rita was de termined to make up with her studio at all costs. No Movie Since “Sadie” She had not been in a movie since “Miss Sadie Thompson” in 1953 and could not work because of her legal troubles. Dick opposed her peace move. He insisted that any setUement of Columbia's contract squabble with Rita must include a pact for him as producer of the siren’s films. "I’m still very, very bitter about Columbia," Dick told me recently. “I’m sure studio officals are be hind the Immigration Service’s campaign to haunt me.” VMted Business Advice” Friers said the 37-year-old Rita put uatf with Dick’s "bad business advic# until proverty got KM down and she announced their separation yestedray.

C., FRIDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER 2, 1955 Little Three Signs Contract With CIO DETROIT (IP) American Motors and CIO United Au to Workers Union today agreed on a new three-year contract which extended the guaranteed wage to the au to industry’s “Little Three.” The settlement, automatically signaled the end of an eight-hour strike by 24,000 American Motors employes at seven plants in Mich igan and Wisconsin. They went on strike when a mid night deadline passed without an agreement. 1 With only slight variations, the new American Motors contract follows the Chrysler contract nego tiated yesterday and those nego tiated earlier this summer with Ford and General Motors. Ameri can Motors_ matched the Chrysler contract by including office and salaried workers in the plan which guarantees workers up to 65 per cent of their normal take-home pay during a half-year of layoff. American Motors workers re ceived the same economic package grasted by the “Big Three” pro ducers. It includes six-cent hourly pay increases during each of the next three years, improved pen sion, hospital and medical plans and an extra day’s vocation. One feature of the new AMC pact was to provide for 3,000 workers who were • “displaced” after American Motors was formed last year through the merger last year of Nash and Hudson. The workers, who had lived in Detroit most of their lives, quit rather than move to Wisconsin when certain Hudson operations were transferred there. Today’s settlement left only two auto- companies still not counited on. guaranteed wage contracts. They are Studebaker-Packard and Kaiser-Willis, which along with AMC make up the “Little Three.” Assault Charge Is Reduced Here Accused of using a drink crate to batter Grady Bolling, Graham D.
