Washington (U.R) The going
rate, for a' marriage license in
the United States still is around
$2. But the
'price of brides
in other lands
is running into
a lot of moola.
The Nation
al Geographic
Society, which
knows a little
or more about
everything, has
circled the
acres of the
Herman Nichol earth and has
come up with some very inter
esting statistics.
For example, in Pakistan
brides aren't bought much any
more because parents are money
hungry. The price now is so high

Eastern Nigeria, the pur
chase of a wife has become so
dear money-wise, that a govern
ment committee has suggested
maybe price control or worse,
rationing. Half a century ago
a tall lushy Ibo girl cost only
$50, and an old hawk could1 be
bought for as little as three
goats. But as of now, according
to the latest survey, an ordinary
Ibo gal is a bargain at $300, and
if you want one with some kind
'of learning the price runs as
high as $840. ,
I guess us American gents
have it pretty nice. All we
have to do is ask the gal's dad
if it is all right. If he agrees,
it's fine. If he stomps his foot,
there always is the other way
out."' Down a ladder from the
lady's bedroom and off to the
nearest justice of the peace.
With the Kenai, Alaskan Eski
mos, all a man has to do is come
to his lover's house with howdy
and then start in as a cook,
bottle washer, and sweeper of
floors. Aside from that, he has
to heat the bath water, no mean
trick in Eskimo country. Then
if the old . man gives the nod
he can claim his bride if he
is willing to continue to play
servant for one year. ,
Even today, a would-be bride
groom in New Guinea kicks in a
bunch of dog's teeth to his future
father-in-law.
But times are better over
there. Time was when he had
also to dump in a couplt of hu
man heads.
Relatives Traded
In the remote sections of Aus
tralia, aborigines trade lady rel
atives for brides. And in Jammu,
a daddy with only men around
the house has a hard time get
ting a wife-mate for his son.
Of course, once the bride is
bought and paid for, some of
these . primitive husbands have
it all over us.
After the purchase, their
wives are kept in huts, or lean
tos and there is none of the
problems American men have.
No rent to pay, no $20 girdles
to buy. They can shoot down
a wild turkey and use the tail
feathers to make their ladies a
bonnet.
And better still, there like as
not is no mother-in-law trouble.

Access Road Building Schedule
Set Back in Smith River Area
By A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Washington Bureau of Land
Management officials estimate
that they will be unable to open
up salvage timber in the Smith
river for sale until mid-summer
of next year, due to delays an
ticipated in completion of access
roads.
BLM had expected to, put up
20,000,000 board feet for sale
next spring in the Spencer creek
area where a new 3.5 mile ac
cess road is under construction.
But completion of that road,
originally slated for this com
ing November, has now been set
back to October, 1956, according
to -the head office of BLM here.
One section of the Smith river
road has been completed, they
reported, but sections A and B
will not be finished until next
July. One section of the west
fork of Smith river road is due
for completion in November this
year, but section B won't be
ready for use until October, 1956.
The Smith river and Spencer
creek roads all offer access to
timber in Southcoast Marketing
area, mainly for mills in the Coos
Bay and Reedsport area.
This new schedule of road com
pletion dates outlined by BLM
will determine the availability
of timber for mills in Lane and
Douglas county, in the event
Secretary of Interior Douglas
McKay permits their operators
to go across marketing area
boundaries for logs as they de
sire. . ,
Siuslaw Road Set Back
The Esmond creek road, which
will offer access to Siuslaw
area timber for mills in the Eu
gene area, has been set back a
year on the road completion
schedule. It was due to be fin
ished in November. Now, BLM
said, it will not be ready for use
until October, 1956.
Another road giving access to
both the Siuslaw and Southcoast
areas has been delayed. "It is the
20.7 mile Twin Sisters road,
which is due for completion in
November, 1956, instead of next
July. The Siuslaw river road is
to be finished in October, 1956.
BLM officials said they were
unable to explain the new road
schedule, having received it only
this past Friday from the Port
land regional office without any
detailed reasons for its changes.
Awaiting Data.
Meanwhile, BLM officials here
were awaiting data from the
Portland office pertaining to the
current squabble over whether
marketing area 'restrictions
should be lifted to permit mills
from other areas to compete for
timber sold in the salvage oper
ations in northwest Douglas
county.
No recommendation to Secre
tary McKay in the matter is ex
pected to be submitted until this
information has come in from
the field. BLM Administrator
Edward Woozley estimated Mc
Kay would have a decision in
the case by the end of the week.
Complaints Checked
On Capitol Hill, a Senate in
vestigator just back from Oregon
was understood to be preparing
a report on the problem, contain
ing recommendations for remed
ial action. Robert Wolf, a form
er BLM forester now employed
by the U.S. Government Account
ing office but presently on loan
to the Senate Interior Commit
tee, was sent to Oregon to check
into complaints from independ
ent loggers who want access to
the salvage timber.
Committee staff members and
Woozley have conferred' on the
problem, with the BLM director
promising to supply data on the

Around Hollywood
By ALINE MOSBY
United Press Correspondent
Hollywood U.R) Bob Hope,
the globe-trotting comedian who
has quipped his way into nearly
every country
of the world,
max visit
Russia, he said
today.
With rela
tions between
the U.S. and
Russia appar
ently easier, a
plot is afoot
Aline Mosby for Hope to
invate Moscow, armed with gag
writers.
I He leaves for London Nov. 17
to star with Katherine Hapburn
inhis first foreign-made picture,
produced by England's 'Betty
Box: "
A Russian Girl
The story is about an army
captain and a Russian girl he is
assigned to keep an eye on. The
English moviemakers are trying
to clear a location jaunt to the
USSR the first time Hollywood
stars would visit that country in
recent years.
"Sure, I'd like to go if it's
cleared I'll go any place," said
Hope between rehearsals for an
other picture at Paramount Stu
dio. "Maybe we should send 'Com
rade' Hilton," he grinned.
"Of course," he added, "I may
be held over for some of the
things I've said about Russia."
The recent Geneva conference
may have changed the course of
politics, and it also changed the
ending of Hope's movie. In the
comedy, Miss Hepburn is arrest
ed by Soviet agents and taken
back to Russia. But the ending
was changed so the agents, not
Miss Hepburn, are sent to Si
beria for making a mistake.
Meanwhile, Hope begins his
19th year at Paramount ' on a
new film, "That Old Feeling."
Until "Seven Little Boys," his
movies were mostly gags chain
stitched together. Now he is not
only working in a film version of
a Broadway play (called "King
of Hearts" on the stage,) but co
starring with last year's Oscar
winner, Eva Marie Saint.
"Every comedian needs a
change of pace," he said. "I'm
going in more for a legit story
and a sympathetic character.
USSR Comedians
"My television ' show is a
change this year, too. Beginning
Tuesday, I'll do eight shows
one musical, one book show, and
the rest revues. You have to
mix it up. The public can't
catch you doing the same thing
twice."
He hopes to meet some comics
in Russia if and when his Eng
lish movie goes on location there.
"They must have Russian com
edians,", he reflected, "or else
where does Gregory Ratoff come
from?"
Registering Complaints
Found No Longer Crime,
Gloria Swanson Asserts
By GLORIA SWANSON
Written For United Press
Paris U.R) Complaining,
making one's dissatisfaction,
seems to be a crime these days.
Apparently one is supposed to
grin and bear it.
In other words, if there is a
fly in your soup- don't mention
it. Or if you have been short
changed look the other way.
If you don't get the service you
have paid through the nose for,
you must still give a large tip
so "somebody's" feelings won't
get hurt. -
Is this because we're sissies or
haven't the courage of our con

no longer a secret: I'm not a
sissy and I do have the courage

satisfied, I grumble about it.
Not to every Tom, Dick and

the one who can rectify it.
Right Person
Sometimes that is the person
who is at fault and sometimes
that is the person running a bus
