EIGHT MEDrORD (OREGON) Protestant 'On 'Mixed Washington (U.R) A gnokes- man ior a Protestant group has served notice that rpnortprf plan to let Spanish Catholic of ficials regulate "mixed" mar riages of U. S. military person nel in Spain would be "grossly offensive" no matter how much it is "watered down." The statement came Friday night from Glenn L. Archer, executive-director of Protestants and other .Americans United for Separation of Church and State. On Bargaining Table Archer declared that negotia tions on the subject have put the most sacred rights of, Amer ican citizens" on "the bargain ing table." Adoption of the plan, he added, would put "ah irradi cable stain of dishonor on the record of our nation." Jelke Faces Hew Vice Trial After Appeal Gels Okay New York (U.R) Minot F. (Mickey) Jelke, 24, Saturday faced a new vice trial on charges of procuring and supply high priced call-girls for cafe society. The heir to a $3,000,000 oleo margarine fortune won a new trial Friday when the Court of Appeals in Albany, the state's highest court, ruled 4-2 that Jelke was denied a fair trial when General Sessions Judge Francis L. Valente barred the press and public from the court room. - D A Supports Action Disk Atty. Frank S. Hogan, who supported Valente's actions, said he would begin prepara tions i'or the new trial im mediately.

ADAMSON, District Manager 839 East Jackson Blvd. SONOTONE MAIL TRIBUNE Group Says Marriages Secretary of State John Foster Dulles told a news conference yesterday he understood a ten tative agreement had been reached, but said he had not seen it and any final approval must be made here by the Defense and State Departments together. Tentative Agreement The U. S. Military Mission In Spain was reported to have Gore Plans 'Joe-Must-Go' Ruling Baraboo, Wis. (U.R) The leader of the Anti-McCarthy "Joe Must Go" club will probably ap peal a judge's ruling that the organization violated .state law, Leroy Gore, a Sauk City, Wis., editor and founder of the club, said he would return from an Iowa visit immediately and study a possible appeal. Fined $4,200 The organization, which con ducted an unsuccessful attempt to recall Sen. Joseph R. Mc Carthy early last year, was found guilty Friday on 21 counts and was fined $4,200 - Circuit Judge Bruce Beilfuss said the club violated a state law that forbids corporations from contributing money for pr litical purposes. Dist. Atty. Harlan Kelley, who spearheaded the legal action against the . movement, said he would issue warrants against of ficers and directors of the club on similar charges. Raps Decision Ciore, visiting friends in Portland Court Denies Motions On Gold Charges Uortland The U. S. district court at Portland Friday denied motions to dismiss indictments against Woodrow Wilson At- wood and Stephen Gilbert Crip- pen, two Medford salesmen, on charges of illegal possession of gold.. Chief U. S. District Judge Claude McCollocn held in an opinion that there is no doubt of the power of the government to forbid possession of gold bul lion except on license. The pow er is derived as part of its mone tary program, he said. Had $5,000 in Gold The two men were arrested several weeks ago in a Port land hotel in possession of a suitcase containing $5,000 worth of gold bricks. Defense lawyers argued that the act was unconstitutional and was passed as a war emergency and that it ceased to be effective after the war ended." The fed' eral attorney asserted, however, that congress had recognized the effectiveness of the law and had adopted an amendment in 1941 Judge McColloch concluded his brief opinion that the ques tion involved was a "political" one and not constitutional. Adjtnson C. R. Sunday, January 2, 1933 Action Is Wrong reached a tentative agreement with the Spanish government to give Catholic authorities in Spain power to approve or veto marriages between American military personnel in Spain if one of the partners is Catholic The agreement was said to ap ply both to marriages between two Americans or an American with a Spaniard. Appeal of Brooklyn, la., said Beilfuss' ml ing would make it impossible to conduct a recall drive or "any political campaign." Gore has said he plans to launch another attempt to recall McCarthy this year. Millionaire Seeks Divorce on Grounds Marriage Not Legal Miami (U.R) Millionaire John Jacob Astor III Saturday sought annulment or divorce from his third wife' on grounds she "shoved" him into marriage knowing his Mexican divorce from wife number two was in valid. In his counter suit filed in Dade Circuit Court Friday, Astor claimed jthat Mrs. Dolores Dolly Fullman of Miami Beach was not his legal wife and therefore not entitled to any of his money. Resistance Broken Astor charged that she "shoved him" into marriage knowing that his Mexican divorce from the second Mrs. Astor was not legal. He was married to Mrs. Fullman in Arlington, Va., Aug. 6, 1954, after his "resistance was broken," he said. The charges were contained in his answer to her suit for an nulment. Her suit was filed last Nov. 22 because of something "so intimate in nature" she didn't want to tell about it. , Smacks of Blackmail Astor's suit described the al legations against him as "scurri lous charges and innuendoes, smacking of a form of blackmail that is becoming all to prevalent in this country. He said the charges were "not only false but diabolically made in the furtherance of a vicious entrapment scheme concocted before marriage for the purpose of mulcting him of his money." Before their marriage she would not even let him kiss her, he said.

The head of one truck line, the audit showed, drew an an nual salary of $39,000. Also listed in the audit of this line is the added sum of $4395 for personal expenses, not detailed. The president of another truck line drew $25,2.00 annual salary and his son drew $30,000. Small Lines Struggling At the other extreme, opera tors of small truck lines were struggling to keep in business, some drawing little or no salary and faced with operating ex penses exceeding operating in come. . . But between the two extremes were many truck lines whose heads were drawing between $7200 and $12,000 a year in salary, plus any profits accru ing from the business. The average track operator had a 5.49 per cent earning after all expenses had been met. PARK VIEW NURSING HOME 906 WEST MAIN STREET Medford, Oregon Phone 2-6938 . .

Air Force Men Base Get High BY HENRY RIEGER United Press Correspondent Thule.AFB, Greenland (U.R) Some 4000 men at this bleak northermost U.S. Air Force out post brought in 1955 with a floor show New Yorkers couldn't match at $50 a head. For the -second consecutive year, Air r orce Secretary Har old . Talbot made 1 sure that "his finest" the men who safe guard the backdoor to the Uni ted States thousands of miles from their homes and loved ones were not forgotten. Big Military Air Transport Service planes flew into this air base on an ice tap an array of stars that would bankrupt the Copacabana in salaries. Head ing the list was one man who was right at home in this snow swept postole ski-nose himself, Bob Hope With him were Mar garet Whiting, Bill Holden and his wife, Brenda Marshall and brushlip Jerry Colonna. A bevy of beauties, sparked by voluptu ous Anita Eckberg, bulged the eyeballs of these femme starved airmen. A Warm Day So grateful were the men of Thule, they stood in a mile-long line in temperatures ranging to 27 below zero It was unseason ably warm here Saturday for an hour or more at both the matinee" and the evening shows. Their reception was so spontaneous, so genuine, it even stirred this old hardbitten news man the only working news man to make the trip with the troupe. Secretary Talbot, the Air Water Spills Over am; State Officials Alarmed Bend (U.R) Water spilled over Wickiup dam and ran through the woods east of Wick iup Butte Friday afternoon, alarming state game officials and threatening to cut off sev eral .secondary roads. Spillway Closed The main spillway : has been closed and an emergency waste- way was in use while repair work was completed on the spill basin. But unexpected rain and snow melt filled the 187,- 000-acre-foot reservoir- to capa city and a trickle started spill ing out. ' Monte L. Montgomery, State Fish Commission official, said he feared the stream soon would develop into a full 500-cubic- foot-per-second flow, carve out a new channel, cut through three roads and pour silt into trout spawning areas of the Deschutes below the dam. Damage 'Doubted -' A. E. Perry, watermaster for the Bureau of Reclamation, said he doubted the overflow would do much damage, due to the porous nature of the soil and the protection of grass and timber. Repair work on the basin is expected to be completed by Jan. 15, permitting use of reg ular overflow channels. Wickiup D ' in Northern Class Show Force chief of personnel,' Lt. Gen. Emmett Rosy O'Donnell and other high echelon person nel also were on hand. All Day Darkness Base Commander Coo. : Wil liam Kimball of Washington, D. C, and his staff worked to ar range schedules at this around1 the-clock lookout base at the top of the world, and as Hope put it, "a few block from down town Siberia," so that all the men could attend the "matinee" performance held in the black of afternoon It is the winter season and remains dark for more than four months or the evening show timed to end at the stroke of the new year. But there were a' few, Lt. Harvey Kelly of San Angelo, Texas, and men like Lt. Joseph Hancock of Lakewood, Calif., and his pilots of "E" Flight who were on one hour alert. Sure, there was a tinge of regret but they were glad their buddies were not denied a New Year's Eve celebration. WYI Everybody!

Playing Juliet Shakespeare's Juliet was 14 when she fell in love with Ro meo. Who was the youngest star ever to play Juliet? I claim it was Marry Anderson, who suc cessfully portrayed the part when . she was 16. Jane Cowl was 33 when she played Juliet. Katherine Cornell tried it when she was ' 37. Ethel Barrymore portrayed Juliet, when she was 43! I believe that s the record, Briefly First name of Portland Hoffa was given to her by her parents because she was born in Port land, Ore.
