TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday, April 19, 1955 Jordan King And Teacher Wed Today Amman, Jordan U.R) Young King Hussein gives the throne of Jordan a schoolteacher queen to day in an ancient Moslem cere mony marked by the absence of the bride both from the wedding and the king's reception after wards. Hussein, 22-year-old ruler of 1,400,000 Jordanians, followed strict Moslem rites in marrying his 27-year-old cousin, Princess Dina, but there were many 20th century touches including a crooner, Farid El Atrash of Egypt. Arab custom kept Princess Dina from the ceremony that formally made her queen and from the reception, but at later celebrations she planned to join the king. The actual wedding was an all-male function at the Amman hilltop palace of Zahran, the red and white marble structure be longing to Hussein's mother. According to Moslem law King Hussein and the bride's father, Prince Abdel Hamid, were to sign a contract of marriage which made Dina the first of four wives allowed to Hussein by law. It was indicated that Hussein, like his father, would take only one wife. All Jordan marked the wed ding day, from the holy places of Jordanian Jerusalem to the Arab Legion outposts guarding the nation's tense borders with Israel. It was a national holiday and the state broadcasting sta tion doubled its hours on the air to cover all proceedings. Schools, banks and public in stitutions closed. Queen Dina taught English lit erature and met Hussein in Eng land when he was studying at Eton and she at Oxford. The honeymoon plans were not made public but court cir cles said the king may take his bride to Spain during the summer.

Published as a public service in eo eperation icith The Advertising Council Republican Speaker Reviews Party Record; Lauds Senator The accomplishments of the Republican party on the national level were reviewed by Mrs. Paul Geddes, Roseburg, in a talk be fore Jackson County Republican Women yesterday 'noon at the YMCA. Mrs. Geddes is the wife of State Senator Geddes and has been serving as his secretary during the current session of the legislature. Mrs. Geddes prefaced her talk by praising State Senator Philip B. Lowry, saying his record as a freshman senator is outstanding. "He's well liked and admired, and when he speaks, the senate lis tens," she said. Mrs. Geddes also said she is proud to be a Repub lican, proud of the party's accom plishments and that she believes preservation of "what is known as the American way of life de pends upon the Republican par ty; this country is steadily drift ing away from individualism to wards pure socialism." Stating that "the facts prove the Republican party has carried out its campaign promises" Mrs. Geddes reviewed foreign policy, the national economy, the labor picture, agriculture and internal security. Mrs. Geddes said the Republi can bi-partisan foreign policy has brought about a new feeling of trust and respect abroad and compared Yalta and Potsdam with the London pact, the Vene zuelan conference, the results in Korea and other foreign policy accomplishments of the adminis tration. The speaker added that under the Truman administra tion, the United States delegates to the United Nations had per mitted the UN to become a ."sounding board" for the Soviets while the representatives of the Eisenhower administration no longer allowed such tactics. This country's foreign aid pro gram is now on a basis of help ing nations to help themselves, Mrs. Geddes said, and "we no longer pour out aid unadvis edly." Speaking of the national econ omy, Mrs. Geddes said the whole tax program had been revised, that a $7 "billion cut had been made in the nation's taxes, "the largest saving in tax history." She said this had not benefitted big business only, as the Demo crats had charged, but that 70 per cent direct relief to individ uals. "The average American family saved $100 in taxes last year as a result of these econo mies," Mrs. Geddes declared. The Republican tax program has encouraged new business, she added, and therefore in creased employment. Fourteen out of 15 federal tax increases in recent years were made under the Democrats, she said, while 7 out of 10 tax reductions were brought about under the Repub lican administration. .On the labor picture Mrs. Geddes said last , year was "the most peaceful of any recent year" and that it is the policy of the Eisenhower administration to encourage labor and industry to work together to promote a healthy labor situation. Speaking of internal security, Mrs. Geddes said here the two parties were in sharp contrast for our NEW Alice Brooks Needlecraft Catalog for 1955. Exciting, enchanting our new designs aite all that and even more! Send 25 cents for your copy of this terrific catalog NOW! You'll want to order every wonderful design in it! and charged that the Truman administration had "protected" the communists.. The speaker said that the present administra tion had reversed this trend, that in the process "some have been hurt" but that this was inevit able. Reviewing agriculture, Mrs. Geddes declared that it is the administration's policy to have farming practices involved to the point where "farmers can get parity out of the market and not out of your taxes." She pointed to the end of seg regation of races as an outstand ing accomplishment under the civil rights program and added that conditions have been "quiet ly improved"; in the capital, in veterans' hospitals and in the armed services. Mrs. Geddes spoke briefly of the power issue and said "we do not have to be ashamed to be on the side of private power" and added "we won't have the power dams we need If we wait on fed eral money alone to build them. She added that the Republicans do not want to do away with public power, but neither do they want a monopoly of gov ernment in this field. The speaker also said women are being I'given a break" by the Republican party and have had many party appointments. She closed her talk by saying that the party was consistently working for freedom "and the struggle for freedom is more serious than we realize." During the business session, conducted by Mrs. Stephen G. Nye the by-laws were changed to abolish the board of trustees and to change the tenure of of fice from, two to one year. Mrs. Walter Brittan and Mrs. E. A. Goff were introduced to newly naturalized citizens of the county.. About 70 women at tended. .
