He may be In his 40's and mo mentarily lukewarm as far as his career's concerned, Roland said, but he is not sitting around home nights. "I like beautiful women," he said, his black eyes dreamy. "1 like just to sit and look at them. I like to look at anything beauti ful. But especially women. Meeti It Halfway "It has always been this way with me. Love is the most won derful thing in the world. I have never been afraid of a ro mantic adventure. No, honee . . . I run to meet it halfway." And he's never sorry after ward, no matter what happens. "Once I was In love with a woman for five happy years," Roland said. "Then she left me. And for one whole year I was so miserable I used to pray in the church that I get over her. Do It Over Again "But I would do it over again. Balance up one year of unhappl ness with five of bliss and 1 still come out ahead." He would even meet a wom an "halfway" if It were the other way around: five years of misery for one of bliss. "Love," he said solemnly, "is that important." Roland was married only once. In 1941 he eloped to Yuma with Constance Bennett, taking his place In line as her fourth husband. Friday, March 84, 1950 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE ELEVEN Court Records Juiiic Court Frank L.

Threatened Coast Bus Strike Said Settled San Francisco, Mar. 24 (U.R) A threatened strike of Pacific Greyhound drivers In seven western states was avoided here today by a settlement reached between the company and the AFL Motor Coach Employees' union. Federal Conciliator Omar Hos kins said the settlement, reached after three successive days of negotiation, involved wage claims, disciplinary action and the interpretation of the contract. A disagreement as to arbitra tion procedure caused the union to initiate a strike vote, but the settlement has now eliminated the need for any arbitration, Hos kins said.
