Ingrid Bergman
Says She Is Not
Seeking Divorce
ROME. Ingrid Bergman said to
day she would finish work on the
film she is making in Italy and j
then join her husband, Dr. Peter j
Lindstrom, either in the U. S. or
Sweden.
In a statement issued by the
Home office of RKO pictures,
Miss Bergman said she was mak
ing the announcement “for the
protection of my family.”
Lindstrom flew from Holly
wood. where he practices surgery,
to Italy last week, after insistent
rumors of a romance between the
Swedish-born film star and her
Italian director-partner, Roberto
Rossellini. ’
The statement was aimed at put
ting an end to the speculation^
about a romance. There had been
reports that Miss Bergman would
divorce Dr. Lindstrom to marry
Rossellini, the ace Italian director
of such films as “Paisan” and
“Open City.”
The statement came in the form
of a cable from Miss Bergman at
Messina, Sicily, to RKO’s office
here. In it she said she had met at
Messina with Rossellini and her j
husband.
Newspaper dispatches from
Messina described Rossellini as
%
appearing “very disturbed” after
the meeting with Lindstrom and
Miss Bergman.

“THE STARLINER ROUTE”
South Africa
Seeks To Raise
Price Of Gold
JOHANNESBURG, South Afri
ca, (/P)—South Africa, sobering up
after a postwar buying spree, has
learned the hard way that being
the world’s biggest gold producer
doesn’t guarantee prosperity.
Now it wants the price of gold
raised—a step which would de
value the dollar in world trade,
and have far reaching effects on J
the entire world economy by
changing exchange rates.
Camille Gutt, director of the in
ternational monetary fund which
controls monetary gold prices, is
conferring with finance minister
M. C. Havenga.
Gold is as good as dollars in in
ernational trade because the
Jnited States will buy it from all
comers at $35 an ounce, a price set
vhen the U. S. devalued its cur
'ency in 1934 during the depres
sion.
Up until recently South African
Dfficials believed the country’s
$400,000,000 a year output of gold
would take care of its internation
al trade bills.
But South Africa, hungry for
merchandise after the war, bought
in record amounts.
