T'1C fay baker ' CONTINUOUS TODAY FROM 12:45 P. M. Presbyterians 01 Area To Meet Church Moderator Presbyterians of .southwest Oregon will meet at the First Presbyterian church of Medford Tuesday for dinner at 6:30 p. m. and a meeting at 7:45 p. m. when they will hear the moder ator of the general assembly of the Presbyterian church, Dr. Clifford E. Barbour, who is pay ing a visit to the west coast. "We are highly flattered by this visit of the moderator," the Rev. Harry Hansen, pastor, said, "since he is making only four stops in Oregon." "It has been several years," the pastor added, "since the Pres byterian church or southwest Oregon has had the privilege of entertaining a moderator of the general assembly. "The general assembly of the Presbyterian church meets an nually," he said, "at which time the presiding officer, or moder ator, is elected. The office is largely an honorary recognition of outstanding work or ability. However, it carries with it a great deal of influence and au thority because the moderator must appoint various important committees, and also because he must preside at all meetings of the general assembly and the general council, which meets in the interim between general as semblies." Pastor At Knoxvill Dr. Barbour has for many years been pastor of one of the leading churches of the south, the Second Presbyterian church of Knoxville, Tenn. He is a preacher of outstanding vigor and power and has been known through the denomination for a number of years for his outstand ing leadership in denomination al and interdenominational af fairs, the Rev. Hansen said, Dr. Barbour several years ago was stricken with polio, which has forced him to use crutches in order to get around. Yet de spite this handicap he has been able to carry on his work as vig orously as ever, he added. The meetings are open to the public.

At the mo ment in the Frank Sinatra love - nest, things a r en't Virginia MacPhervos so lovely. Nancy Sinatra admits Frankle boy walked out on her, but she says it doesn't mean much. "He does it all the time," she sighed. "He's done it before and he'll probably do it again. But he always comes back. Frankie himself shrugged off the battle as nothing to get ex cited about. "So a guy has a fight with his old lady, he said. "What's wrong with that?" The idyl of young love thai Uau Kussell and Uuy Madison sang for nearly four years ended yesterday when Gail packed her bags for an Arizona vacation alone. Their marriage last summer capped one of Hollywood's long est courtships, but little more than five months of life together split them up, There was no Immediate talk about a divorce. In fact, neither of the screen lovers would com ment at all. But Miss Russell admitted their romance was on the rocks. Another notable who wouldn't talk was Bette Davis. . Gossip columnists said she and Artist William Grant Sherry aren't see ing eye to eye again, although Bette took him back last fall after fllinc for a divorce, Asked If it could be printed that she has dropped the suit permanently, bette snapped: "It certainly cannot.

The beautiful opera star admitted she was in love with a married man and would be heading for Nevada soon to untangle her part of the romance. But this isn't an ordinarv Hollywood "triangle." Dottie' dilemma is a "quadrangle." She not only has a husband to shed before she and her Texas doctor can get set for wedding bells- he has a wife, too. And he hasn't talked her into a divorce yet." said the clamour gal of the Met. ' That's why I'm so miserable our secret leaked out. Now he might not be able to. And a lot of people are going to be hurt." Ida Lupino and Collier Youne also called it quits a few day ago. They'd been squabbling for months, but neither would admit it was anything more than typ. ivni iiiuviuiuua Dailies. "But I've finally decided upon divorce." Ida said. "We can't get along any more. But we'll keep on making movies to gether." Another big-name m o v 1 queen prepared to give her hus band a legal heave-ho as 1950 edged into Its second week. her third husband.

But the minute the pic ture was in the cans Miss Gra hame dashed to her lawyer and filed for divorce. CUNlllNuUUS From 12:45 P.M. When i Woman Loves a Man . . .
