Equality Quest Denounced by 'Italian Actress rr$ "American women are on the wrong track in the search for equality with men," says Marina Berti, glamorous Italian actress. Miss Berti made this comment recently when she was offered a seven-year contract in Hollywood, which she turned down. * *~ * "MY HUSBAND is more impor- tant than a contract," she ex- plained. She said her husband, actor-director Claudio Gora has his work in Rome and she must stay there with him. In contrast to some Holly- wood stars, she ranks her movie career as second to her husband and two children. "In Italy the family is most im- portant and the man is the head of the family. From what I have seen here, American women don't believe that. They seem to want to be equal. I think they will only make themselves unhappy because of that," she stated. * * * MISS BERTI showed astonish- ment when learning that many American husbands have to help wash the dishes, cook, and do the housework. "The Italian husband never enters the kitchen," she said. Miss Berti continued that at night the wife has her husband's pipe and slippers ready and dinner prepared. Miss Berti said that women never go out without their hus- bands and when they go out to- gether they either take the chil- dren with them or leave them with relatives. Professional sit- ters are unknown. "However, all this does not mean that families do not have arguments," said Miss Berti. "We have no divorce in Italy, and so couples seldom break up. But why divorce anyway? Men are all alike, so why throw one away and get another just like him? It is better to keep the one you have and profit from the time and trouble you have spent on him," she stated. Miss Berti said Italian women are happier than American wo- men, because they do not try for equality with men. moiselle are other popular choices. * * * A CARNEGIE collection of mu- sic scores, useful as reference ma- terial before University concerts, is available for circulation, said Miss Shirley Smith, librarian. Assisting Miss Smith in her duties are Julie Crossman and Charlyn Hawkins, University coeds. The Library is operated by"the League Council and is under the more immediate supervision of Lydia Wilhelm, vice-president of the League. Miss Wilhelm organ- izes publicity for the Ifbrary and has compiled a scrapbook describ- ing the Library's history and use- fulness. DR. JESSIE HORTON KOESS- LER, who studied medicine at and graduated from the University, is credited with the founding of the League Library. In her spare time she designed a pictorial map of Ann Arbor to help raise funds for the League Building. In 1929, in Dr. Koessler's memory, her husband and bro- thers financed and furnished the Library room. One thou- sand volumes were donated in her honor, with social groups contributing the remainder of the Library's stock. A majestic portrait of Dr. Koes- sler hangs over the white marble fireplace. * * * FICTION and non-fiction books circulate for two weeks, while three days are allowed for drama, poetry and periodicals. A collection of new books is now available, including "Across The River and Into The Trees" by Ernest Hemingway, and "The Way West" by A. B. Guthrie, Jr. Others are "The 4 Brontes" by Lawrence and E.
