6 A week of dignified centennial celebrations in Bement exploded today when blonde bombshell Marilyn Monroe arrived wearing a tight-fitting "eyelet" cotton dress. The town's population of 1,500 was swelled to several thousand more persons who waited hours to glimpse the famous actress. Tension and rumors increased as her plane arrived at Champaign two hours late, because of weather conditions. Police escorted Miss Monroe and a male secretary to Bement and the home of Carleton Smith, director of the National Arts Foundation and a native of Bement.

Some critics have accused the administration of favoring private companies in disposing of Bonneville power. Government officials say their policies are fair to all. Both Kefauver and Sen. Morse (D-Ore) criticized a Federal Power Commission decision announced Thursday, to permit private development of Hells Canyon. Public power advocates have sought to win approval of a huge multi-purpose federal dam there.

"There are a lot of good-loolc-ing boys here," was her brief comment, as she was led by several police with arms interlocked. Some of the over-anxious bovs peeked in the windows of the Carleton home while others climbed on the roof, only to be chased down by some of the 19 Centennial police on duty. "I don't blame them for wanting to see her," was the comment of one observer. Frustrated photographers waited with the rest except for those from Life magazine and Movietone News who were inside the house.
