Modest Ex-GI Has Tilt With Director Over Film Problems Galore Arise For Solution in Summer , Tii rnn e ncn lunft. un .The sun pushes as far north today as it can, and for many Arr.-rirun! this ' may well usher in what will! come to be known as the summer of decision, . Problems galore will be forced upon you woi Id-shaking or just plain shaking. They range from the male form un-divine and the new rag-bag hairdo for women to the question of how many resort bound autos can squeeze into one highway intersection. Already city streets are seeking the first bare male knees of the torrid season. Clothing men think this will be the summer to decide two of the burning issues of our day. Will walking shorts emerge from the suburbs to become stand ard summer wear? Will long hose or the ankle Sock be the American male's final choice? In the industry some also sec this as the summer of decision for the fibers made by man. Use of synthetics in hot weather cloth ing may continue to increase at the impressive rate of former years. Or it may have about reached us peak of general ac ceptance. Another vital question: the trend toward casualness in dress. Some refer to it bitterly as the trend toward sloppiness. How much more informal can the grown male and the adolescent female get? Or, By SAM DAWSON (P) The sunt to put it the way the subjects of tne inquiry would, whose busi ness u it but theirs? What's worrying merchants now is this: some men may decide to sweat out the Asiatic crisis in last years sun. But there s a good chance others will go whole hog for an entirely new summer ward robe meaning, "If the roof's go ing to fall in anyway, why not splurge?" The first vacationers, mean while, are taking to the country side. By the Fourth of July, resort curwrj should have an inkling ou this decision: Will this summer be their biggest? Has the winter's business recession thinned the ranks of the trippers? Has it made them more penny conscious? To get down to the facts of life, will Papa buy Mama a new sum mer formal and take her to a swank resort for a fling? Or will they stay home and paint the house themselves? The first benefits one set of bus inessmen. The second moves stocks of others off shelves and out of factories. . Resort owners say reservations and traffic in the first June week indicate a full summer of play ahead. Sellers of cars and gasoline and of all the trappings of sport and recreation are counting on it too. Families of Prisoners In Reel China Hospital Sublimity Rest Home Started SUBLIMITY Ground was broken Sunday for construction of a $90,000 copvtlescent home which will be operated by the Servite Sisters.

The Servite Sisters came to Sublimity from Vienna, Austria, in isoo and are now located in the old sistej-s convent built in 1846. The new structure will be a modified two story building with rooms for 26 on the first floor and living quarters for the sisters and staff on the second floor. The present home is turning away applicants for rooms every day and, while under Catholic direction, has taken care of more non-Catholic than Catholic resi dents, it was . learned at the program. The present staff includes two of the Servite sisters: Sister M. Bonfilia and Sister M. Agnes. Three others from the same order are expected within a short time. The sisters first came in Septcm- oer 1950. Louis Schmerber of Salem is the contractors and John Pfiefer of Silverton is the builder.

Actor Audie Murphy is not sure he'll live through it, but he is un dertaking to portray the soldier Audie Murphy in "To Hell and Rack."

"American Women have per haps the best know-how in the whole world about how to be their attractive best," declares beauty expert, Miss Florence Cappel. who is now appearing .at The Capital Drug store dur ing the week o June 21 through 26. Especially trained in Ma dame Helena Rubinstein's fab ulous Filth Avenue Salon, this beauty expert is visiting here this week to help every woman make the very most of her own natural assets. Extending a warm invitation to every wom an to visit her during her week long stay, Miss Cappel urges all women to be sure to Ret their free beauty mask at The C apital Drug Store. Murphy's record as a soldier in World War II is unparalleled. He won 23 decorations, including the big one the Medal of Honor. While he was killing 240 German soldiers, a mortar shell burst at his feet, he was perforated by an artillery shell blast and shot in the tun by a sniper s nutlet. The former sharecropper boy from Kingston, Tex., is modest about his war achievements. Di rector Jess Hibbs told me he and producer Aaron Rosenberg have met opposition on some points in the script. "I think it's kind of silly to show me getting the medals at the end of the pitiure," Murphy reasoned. "Those who know I got the medals will understand. And for the others the events will speak for them selves." Audie remarked that the rest of the script is shaping up well, but he'll take a stand on that matter. I asked him what would happen if Ihe studio remained firm and put another actor in the role. "Fortunately, that's in the small print of my contract," he laughed. "Nobody else can play the role but me. I had to do it that way. Other wise they would have had Tony Curtis in the nart long ago." Hihhs said that two thirds of the picture would be shot on location near Yakima, Wash., 'where the Army will supply troops and full cooperation. The terrain approxi mates the settings of Sicily.

John Lindbeck Wins Advance Word has been received here of the promotion to a commander in the U. S. Navy of John Lind hock, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Lindbeck. The promotion was ef fective June 1. Lindbeck, who was granduated from the Naval Academy, Annap olis, in 1942, is with the intelli gence department on the staff of the Chief of Naval Operations and stationed at the Pentagon, Washington, D.

Fate Still Unknown The three men were captured in Applegate s yacht, the Kert, in in ternational waters between Hong Kong and Portuguese Macao on Marcb 21, 1953, by Chinese gun boat. . ii Feiplng and Moscow nave re mained silent . about their fate. They disappeared mysteriously be hind the Bamboo Curtain after the 42-foot yacht was seized and towed to Lap Sap Met Island, five miles southwest of Hong Kong. Humors and clandestine reports from "travelers" involved in the trigue and underground of Hong Kong nave provided only conflict ing clues to their whereabouts, perhaps Peiping or Canton. The promise from Geneva has brought new- hope to their long watting families who wonder what the Reds mean by "good behavior" and who realize that Communists are ruthless and do not do human itarian deeds for nothing.

V.7 I 7 SAN FRANCISCO (UP) Ai preliminary . report of a survey that may tell whether there 1 a link between cigarette smoking and lung cancer highlighted the opening session of the American Medical association convention today. The report on the cancer study was to be made at a general scientific session of the AMA by Dr. E. Cuylcr Hammond, director of the statistical research section of the Americas Cancer Society, New York. It covered results to date of a study started by the society two years ago. In that period, 22,000 volunteer workers for tne society have followed the lives of 204,000 men between the ages of SO and 60. , . Each is questioned about his smoking habits. As each dies, the cause of death is carefully 1 checked. . The survey was considered the first valid test of the theory that heavy cigarette smoking is the maior cause of lung cancer in men.! The disease has increased 1500 per cent in 25 years and kill ed 22,000 Americans last year." The lung cancer report was one of 300 scientific papers on new drugs and treatments and other medical and surgical prob lems to be presented to the 12, 000 physicians and surgeons at tending the five-day AMA confer ence. Dr. Edward J. McCormlck, re tiring AMA president, raised the question of medical costs when he urged the medical profession to adopt fees for their services based on average fees for their areas. - ' "The time has passed when the medical profession can predicate a fee on the basis of a patient's salary, or whether he is in a pri vate room or a ward or Uvea on the hill' or in more modest resi dential surroundings," McCor- mick said. . .

It Insured "$050 on a 2-scaled, surrey-style, French Pattern Stanley Steamer and for $50 on the tools, implements and personal effects." The perils covered were fire in addition to stranding, sinking, burning or collision when the auto was on board a vessel.
