Marquess Gets
Married Today
Washington, Feb. 4 U.R The
Marquess of Milford Haven, a
cousin of King George VI, takes
as his bride today a 26-year-old
American divorcee, Mrs. Rom
aine Dahlgren Pierce Simpson.
The ceremony climaxes an
International 10-month romance
betweet the great-great grandson
of Queen Victoria and the Now
York and Washington socialite
whose ancestors were some of
the most famous figures in Am
erican history.
The marriage takes place this
afternoon (4 p. m. EST) in Na
tional Presbyterian church
where the bride's great grand
father, a civil war naval hero,
once taught Sunday school.
In attendance will be blue
blood guests from the American
social register, European nobili
ty and diplomatic ranks. Few
from the administration or con
gressional "official" society got
Invitations.
It will be the second time that
a divorced Mrs. Simpson has
married into British royalty.
Thirteen years ago Wallis War
field Simpson became the bride
of the Duke of Windsor. The
two women are not related.
The 30-ycar-old Marquess,
who sells heaters and operates
a laundry, was best man at the
wedding of the Duke of Edin
burg and Princess Elizabeth. As
"Britain's most eligible bachel
or" he used to squire Princess
Margaret Rose about London.
Mrs. Simpson met Milford
Havcn in London last May
through a letter of introduction
from a mutual friend. The Mar
quess scandalized court circles
in September when he announc
ed his engagement through a
press agent and paid advertise
ment in a London newspaper.

Trial of Oregon Doctors
Expected to End Next Week
Portland, Feb. 4 VP) The trial of Oregon doctors, accused of
trying to monopolize the field of prepaid medical care in Oregon,
is expected to wind up next week.
The federal court case was in recess today, after an action
filled week in which physicians detailed their defense against
the government charf.es. 1
A number of doctors took the
stand yesterday to explain their
opposition to commercial hos
pital associations and their sup
port of the Oregon Physicians
Service, operated by the State
Medical Society.
All were for individual rea
sons, they said, insisting that
there was no conspiracy to run
commercial associations out of
business.
Dr. Bernard Barkwill, Coos
Bay, testified, "They didn't pay
my bills."
Dr. Joseph P. Brennan, Pen
dleton, asserted they were "un
scrupulous in their refusal to
cooperate." He added they ques
tioned his medical procedure "to
a point it was almost insulting
. . . I just got fed up."
Dr. D. S. Swart, Portland, tes
tified commercial associations
played favorites among doctors.
Dr. Jon V. Straumfjord. As
toria, tangled verbally with gov
ernment attorney Philip Mar
cus. He said he objected .o the
two-page reports of nonsense"
commercial associations wanted
doctors to fill out for ecli case,
and said they asked for infc
mation that laymen (the com
mercial associations) had no
right to know.
Reports for the Oregon Physi
cians service were different,
since it was run by men who
were doctors, he testified.
Marcus acidly inquired if he
considered OPS office managers
to be doctors.
Then he asked Straumfjord
if he did not think some doctors
padded bills and overcharged.
"Just like attorneys," the As
toria doctor snapped back.
Airlift for
Held-up Train
Lethbridge, Alta., Feb. 4 VP)
An airlift from Lethbridge to
Cranbrook, B. C, went into op
eration Friday for passengers on
westbound Canadian Pacific
railway train which has been
held up here because of drifts
since Wednesday morning.
The passengers had been
stranded when a raging wind
storm caused severe drifting
conditions from Pincher station
to Crows Nest station, complet
ely halting all traffic west.
The train, bound for Nelson,
B. C, got as far as MacLeod,
Alta., Wednesday night. Passen
gers spent the night in the rail
way cars. When the tie-up got
worse yesterday the train was
brought back to the city. The
passengers were billeted in ho
tels.
Meanwhile, the paralyzing
wind-storm left an almost com
plete tie-up in its wake. Both
rail and highway snowplows
swung into action today to clear
miles of blocked rails and roads.
Only one main highway, No.
4 from Lethbridge to Coutts,
was open after the storm sub
sided. Washington, Feb. 4 u.R) Pre
sident Truman has approved pro
motion of Cmdr. Eugene Tatom,

Social Workers
Hear Editors
Value of good personal rela
tions with clients and others in
the promotion of good public re
lations for social agencies were
emphasized by William Tugman,
managing editor of the Eugene
Register-Guard and Charles A.
Sprague, publisher of the States
man, at a meeting of the Mid
Willamette Valley Social Work
ers' association meeting Friday,
Tugman urged that all agen
cies publish annual statements of
financial receipts and disposi
tion and that fund-raising
groups should attempt to make
all portions of the public realize
their role in drives. He also told
the group that the amount of
space given as publicity or news
is not indicative of the success
of a group in its public relations
Sprague emphasized that wel
fare agencies of all kinds need
personal contacts with informa
tion and insight available to
persons who will publicize by
word of mouth and which will
stand up for the agency's work,
He said that courtesy and doing
the job are the best agency rec
ommendation to the public.
Naval Hospital
Order Dedied
Long Beach, Calif., Feb. 4 (Jf)
Although the navy has ordered
the closing of the naval hospital
here by Feb. 15, Capt. Franklyn
C. Hill, hospital commandant,
says the obstetrical department
will remain open beyond that
date.
He expressed concern yester
day over "many expectant wives
of servicemen," and said, "I will
be governed by my own judg
ment and I shall keep it open as
long as I have personnel to keep
it m operation. We will care for
these wives for the next month
or so until they can make other
arrangements."
tie aaaea nis decision "is in
spite of the ban from Washing
ton against admitting any new
patients after Feb. 15."
Seventy-two hundred infants
were born at the hospital last
year.
Along with the $10,000,000
hospital, the navy has ordered
the closing of its $4,000,000 pris
on and a big shipyard, both on
nearby Terminal Island.
Fire Destroys
Two Buildings
Turner, Ore., Feb. 4 Frozen
pumps on fire trucks of the Tur

fighting a blaze at the Morris
Peterson farm in the Crawford
district Friday. A pumphouse
and barn were completley de
stroyed though the house within
a few feet was not damaged
Albert Jensen, chief of the
Turner department, said the
Turner equipment froze in the
fire house though an oil heater
was burning nearby. Even
though working when the alarm
was received, he ventured that
both truck pumps would have
been frozen by the time the
equipment reached the Peterson
farm.

Overseas Soldiers Fed Up
With Some Hollywood Stars
By VIRGINIA MacPHERSON
(United Pre&s Hollywood Correspondent) ,
Hollywood, Feb. " (U.R) American soldiers overseas are scream
ing for entertainment but they're a little fed up with the movie
queens Hollywood's been sending over.
The boys nowadays don't want just any old glamour gal. What
they want most, we discovered on a two-week tour of occupied
Germany, is "stars who act
human." They haven't been
getting too many of those.
Some of the big name ladies
from Hollywood pick the wrong
times to "go elegant." They not
only high-hat the enlisted men,
ihey give the brass a bad time
with demands for fancy rooms.
and special equipment for their
shows. Some troupers take
what's available with a smile
and mix with the boys, but too
many don't.
"Golly, what do they expect
over here V ine waiaort-AS-
toria?" one officer asked. "We
bombed the be-livin' daylights
out of Berlin and Frankfurt and
Munich. The hotels got hit, too.
We've fixed up a few of them,
but they're still not fancy."
Tops on the G. I. "gripe" list
is the way some of the glamorous
ladies from never-never land
hold themselves aloof at army
parties.
"Too many of 'em act like
they're not even here," an air
force captain said. "They beef
when we ask them to pose for
pictures, they leave early, they
just wont mingle."
One big-wig gal who shall be
nameless here spent all her time
between shows in her room with
a bottle. Another one refused to
give a performance until the
soldiers built her a special shell
on the stage to project her voice
into the top balcony. A third
cancelled a hospital show at the
last minute because she wanted
to "get some shopping done."
More than once a flock of
Holllwood personalities prom
ised to give performances and
never showed up at all.
'The people who unbend with
the boys are the ones who go
over big here girls like Lois
Andrews and Patricia Medina,"
a public information officer ex
plained. "The guys think they're
great."

Census Bureau Finds Romance
Popular; Marriages Increase
By ROBERT E. GEIGER
(For James lYlarlow)
Washington, Feb. . W) In a roundabout way the census
bureau has been measuring the amount of romance in the U S.A.
It finds romance is popular, more so than in 1940 There are
fewer unmarried men at large than there have been for years
and years.
This might indicate the chan
ces for a lady to find a hus
band are getting thinner and
thinner but the number of un
married females also is at low
ebb.
The really big news for old
maids is contained in statistics
showing that although there are
more than 5,000,000 more wo
men In the United States than
in 1940, there are fewer unmar
ried ones. More women in every
age group, 14 to 65. have hus
bands.
When the census bureau uses
a phrase like "striking decrease
in the single population took
place," it means there were a
lot of marriages. And that's
what the experts found occurred
among the younger women, 20
to 24 years old.
In 1940 almost one-half of all
the women from 20 to 24 were
single. Now fewer than one
third of these younger women
are unmarried.
Actually, as everyone has
been told, there were more mar
riages each year between 1945
and 1949 than ever before in a
five-year period. Almost 3,000,
000 females were eiased from
the unmarried columns in these
years and transferred to mar
ried life. For people who insist
on the figures, here they are:
In 1940 there were 13,935,000
single women between the ages
of 14 and 65. But in 1949 there
were only 11,174,000 And it was
between these years the total
number of women increased by
5,000,000.
The census bureau found in
an earlier study that about two
cut of every three persons in
the civilian population now are
married. Sixty years ago only
about one half of the people had
a spouse.
Some women who are finding
it particularly easy right now to
find a husband may be those
"depression babies" born around
the start of the depression 17 or
18 years ago. But some of these
female depression babies may
find harder going later on.
.
The census people explain it
this way:
Women are likely to marry
men about three years their
senior. During the depression,
the total unmber of XI. S. births
declined. There were fewer bab
ies. Now, the first of the depres
sion babies are reaching the
marriageable age, for girls, of
17 and 18 years. A great many
of these 17 and 18-year-old girls
will be marrying boys who are
20 and 21.
These boys were born before
