RILEY ADDRESSES Frank Branch Riley, Oregon's famed "ambassador" who has long spread the glories of this state in eastern cities, delivered an inspirational address before the Medford Rotary club at the luncheon-meeting of that orga nization Tuesday noon. The Rotarians and guests, assembled at the Hotel Medford, heard the distinguished lecturer describe Oregon as the "art gallery of the Almighty" and point to the chamber of commerce of a live city as "the powerhouse of a community. "Caesar is In the throne and democracy is on the scaffold," Mr. Riley told the Rotarians. "The government of the people, for the people and by the peo ple has perished from much of the earth," he said. "Let us resolve never to again become foreign missionaries, for if we are again involved in war, it will mean certain dictatorship," he prged. Riley pointed out that, in this nation, the rulers are the serv ants of the people and of their own choosing. He stressed the Importance of "keeping America safe for democracy, by ridding the nation of every semblance of religious intolerance, main taining labor peace, which is, after all, a first requisite of na tional defense, and public op position of so-called 'pressure groups' who would further their own selfish interests through discriminatory legislation." The speaker cited examples of this type of legislation which crept into Oregon politics last year. Jn concluding his address, Mr. Riley urged the elimination of state trade barriers, which seri ously affect the harmony be tween the various states and hamper free interchange of trade. Following the Rotary meeting, the lecturer met a group of Jackson County Chamber of Commerce officials in an in formal discussion of Oregon promotional plans.

And, al Long Awaited Wins Previewed Plaudits By Hubbard Keavy. Hollvwood. Dec. 13. W) "Gone With the Wind" is now ready for all those who always never got around to it, as well faithful readers who wondered Its 1,037 pages finally have been compressed into a motion picture, and it is no ordinary picture. The long-awaited film was press-reviewed yesterday, as a prelude to its world pre miere next Friday in Atlanta, Ga., its very locale and the home of Author Margaret Mitchell. No film which caused so much speculation about treat ment and casting, before pro duction, and which runs for three hours and 57 minutes, in its final form, belongs in the everyday classification. For these reasons alone, it is an out-of-the-ordinary event. The professional flaw-finders, on the whole, were enthusiastic. Perfect Scarletie. All previewers left the thea ter seemingly agreed that Viv ien Leigh, although English trained and "unknown" in this country, was the logical choice for the role of Scarlctte O'Hara. Sometimes she was restrained, but mostly she was the dash ing, fiery Scarlett. (The char acter of Rhett Butler was tailor ed for Clark Gable, nearly everyone always said; the au thor must have had in mind somebody very much like him. He is Rhett.) Other performances, specific ally those of Hattie McDaniel (Mammy) and Leslie Howard (Ashley Wilkes), are all that can be expected. There are about 100 speaking roles.

Film G.W.T.W. intended to read the book, but as for the vast number of how Hollywood would treat it. best color job to date. There are many spectacular scenes, notably those of the burning and siege of Atlanta, of the plantation Tara and of the wounded and dying at the rail road station after the siege. Abdul Mediid, a progressive Sultan of Turkey, forced his subjects to wear the fez in place of the turban, which was regarded as a symbol of con servatism. The progressive Re public of Turkey forced the people to adopt western head gear in place of the fez, a sym bol of the past. However, Turk ish peasants still wear hats re sembling the long-prohibited turbans. The James-Lange theory of emotions reverses the common ly-accepted concept of human actions. According to this theory we are frightened because we run, instead of running because we are frightened. Other emo tions are similarly reversed.
