o 0 Thursday, December 29, 1S5S MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE lalaya Peace Meeting With Communist Guerrilla Leader Results in Failure o G G3' Impossible Set Of Face-Saving . "Demands Refused Baling. Malaya CU.R) Two days ofOpeace talks aimed at ending the eight-year-old Com munist rebellion in the Malayan jungles ended ig failuretoday. Chin Peng, leader of 3,000 Red Guerrillas, was reported to have faded back into the dense forests of upper Malaya to "fight it out to the last" with British and Ma layan security forces. The Communists sued for peace when Britain's armed might decimated their guerrilla forces, but in negotiations with Malayan government leaders here the Reds refused to sur render. The Malaya government, rep resented by Gengku Abdel Rah man, chief minister of the Ma layan Federation, told Chin that what had happened in Qiina, . Korea and Viet Nam would never be allowed to happen here. Demand Blocks Truce Chin offered today to end the fighting that has cost 10,000 lives, but he : tied it up with a demand that Britain turn over to Malaya all the functionsf in ternal security. Though Chin came here as a defeated military leader, he de manded an impossible set of face-saving conditions and was met with a series of emphatic noes by the government nego tiators. In addition to Rahman, the ne gotiators included Chief Minis ter David Marshall of Singa pore and Sir Cheng Lock Tan, a neader of Malaya's Chinese col ony. They entered the talks Wednesday with a reminder to Chin he was in no position to make any demands. The meeting began today in an atmosphere of deadlock. It end ed with the deadlock apparently unsolvable on the Communists refusal to surrender. The meeting was one watched throughout Asia to see whether the Reds would again be able to wrest concessions from the free world. Chin made a" big effort today when he offered to end the war but only on a series of face-saving--conditions. The hitch was that the fighting would end only "as soon as the elected govern ment of the Federation of Ma laya obtains complete control of internal security and local armed forces," now vested in Britain. Rahman leaves Sunday for London to try to negotiate dom inion status for Malaya and for Singapore. The Communist lead er apparently . was hoping to win time by making his peace offer dependent on this develop' ment. Surviving Dionne Quints 'Live Not Planning To Go Home for Montreal (U.R) The sur viving Dionne quintuplets serv ed notice today they plan to "live it up" in their newly found independence and won't even go home for New Year's. The change in the "quints" former sheltered way of life be came apparent early today when Yvonne, Cecile, Annette and Ma rie cleared up a pile of empty soft drink bottles and cigarette stubs in their luxurious apart ment. Unprecedented Party The mess was left over from an almost unprecedented party they threw Wednesday night for their boy friends. The party made it clear they intend to live their own lives and, unless something unfore seen happens, are not going to bow to the dictates of Papa 01 iva Dionne at their home in Cal lander, Ont. G. Harold Edwards, a trust company official who has hand led the girls' million-dollar in vestments since they became 21 this year, dropped in on the party but not as a chaperone. Father Complains of Split Edwards called to be filled in on what the girls want to say about their split with their fa ther, who complained bitterly earlier this week that they were leaving the family fold and treating their brothers and sis ters with "contempt." Gay music blared from a ra dio at the party. The living-room rug was rolled back as the girls, whose quintuplet sister, Emilie, died last year, danced with their French - speaking boyfriends whom Edwards described as "all nice, decent fellows." , It was a far cry from life at the 18-room mansion that was built with" part of a fortune that came from endorsements and other commercial payoffs fol lowing the girl's birth. Back at Callander, the quints almost nev er talked or played With boys and the few they did see us ually walked sedately into the living room and sat quietly while someone sang br played the piano. Wednesday night's party was strictly informal. One of the boys, who answered the door to Edwards' pre-arranged coded knock, was garbed in a flashily checkered sports shirt and slacks. The quints were report ed to have kicked off their shoes to make it easier to jitterbug. While the girls had themselves a - time and indicated ' they planned a lot more of the same the publicity-wise operator of a Miami Beach hotel waited hopefully for them and their parents to accept his invitation t Up'; ew Year's to patch up their family troubles during an expense-paid holiday in Florida. It is expected the Di onnes would tear up telegrams bringing word of the offer, on grounds they don't want pub licity.' The girls had planned fo go to Callander on New Years when Yvonne and Cecile will have three days off from L'Esperance hospital where they are student nurses. But since their father made his. statements about them becoming separated from the fa mily, the spokesman said, they decided to assert their inde pendence by letting him wait to see them. Instead, they might go home later in January. Edwards said that despite the rift, the girls still love their parents and plan to continue supporting them with the money that has piled up in their name since they were born.

Accident-Proneness Is Not Linked To Red Hair Some people seem to get all the "bad breaks" while others seem to be lucky. (Q) "Al my life, I have been unlucky. As a kid I was always breakino bones, knocking out teeth, getting cuts, scratches and bruises all over my body, and losing my posses sions. N o w, a s a grownup, I am no luckier than I was when I was a kid. "I have had several automo bile accidents, none serious enough to kill me but . I was pretty badly knocked about and smashed my car in each case. Just last week, I was hurrying to catch the commuter's train as I was late for work, slipped on a wet leaf on the street, and broke my ankle. "People used to tell me, when I was young, that all redheads were unlucky and got them selves knocked about more than people with other colored hair. I am a redhead and, like all red heads, I have a quick temper. Co you think this has anything to do with my bad luck?" Mr. J. D. (A) I know your red hair has nothing to do with your bad luck and your many accidents but I also know your temperament has made you susceptible to ac cidents, or "accident-prone,." as it is technically called.. Studies of people who. have many accidents, and a compari son of them with people who have few accidents, have re vealed that the accident-prone people have a certain type of personality make-up that is fund amentally the cause of their, many accidents. They are impet uous, act before they think, fly into rages and do or say things they later regret, and are un systematic about their affairs. Like you, they slip on wet leaves because they do not manage their time adequately to elim inate the necessity for dashing to catch a train. Your red hair has nothing to do with your personality pat tern. However, because you, your family, and your friends believe you will be impetuous, hot-tempered, etc., because you have red hair you have grown up without attempting to de velop qualities that would make you more careful and cautious. As a result, you get yourself into all kinds of trouble because you act before you think. (Copyright 1955. .General Features Corp.) ,v 8, James Stewart Top Money-Making Star .
