Gloria Svanson Decides on Visit To Monaco That She Too Wants Principality 3y GLORIA SWANSON Written for United Piesi Monte Carlo U.R Before taking leave of Monaco, which is really a darling little paradise, I have decided I want a prin cipality too. Not counting the Vatican there are only four miniature inde pendent states in Europe, two of which are principalities like Monaco. The principalities of Liechten stein is ruled by a youngish prince. While both are monarchs, Prince Rainier of Monaco does lend an ear to France while Prince Franz Joseph II of Liech tenstein lends his to Switzerland. After the Vatican Monaco is smallest in size, between one and two square miles. Grace has It now so that's out. Following la area ia San Marino, lying in the north of Italy, run by an elected captain regent. It is about 38 times larger than Monaco though having about half the population. Get Out the Vote Recently this little indepen ent state brought home from other parts of the world some of its citizens so they could vote against encroaching Communism not my cup of tea. Fourth in area of the inde pendent states is Liechtenstein, between Austria and Switzer land. It is more than 80 times as large as Monaco. It, too, is a haven for businesses wishing to escape taxes. William Tell was one of Liech tenstein's subjects in the early 17th century. The land of the principality was purchased for 400,000 gulden. In those days that could have meant peanuts or millions of dollars to us. Prince Franz Joseph II, who rules the larger of the two prin cipalities, is married to an Aus trian princess, darn it. Now of course there is no way of vying with the Princess Grace unless one goes in for a mere inde pendent state without title and, goodness gracious, that would be no fun. Eagle's Nest Last of the independent states is Andorra, the largest in size with the smallest population. It is situated on top of the Pyrenees between France and Spain. This sort of eagle's nest, I understand, is the most picturesque of the lot because of the savage landscape and the fact it has retained its ancient costumes and songs no jazz. It is ruled jointly by the bishops of Urgel and the French government so this shatters my hopes. You can see, looking over the field as I have, that our Grace picked the one with the most trimmings, titles, stamps, and coins. The onlv thins left to do now is buy an island, get myself a carpenter, a lithograph machine and a metal mold. Who says I can't have a throne, stamps and coins? Pacific Islanders Complain Of Higher Cost for Brides Suva, Fiji (U.R) New Gui nea and New Hebrides complain ed Saturday that the cost of brides on their South Pacific Is lands Is skyrocketing beyond reason. Delegates complained to the six-nation South Pacific confer ence here that the richest peo ple in their communities are parents who have the most daughters. M. Kalsautu, chief of the Me le tribe on Efate island in the New Hebrides group, said if the SOUP AC commission did not do something he would impose a boycott of marriages on his tribe to force the price down. Pidgin French Kalsautu, 64-year-old grand father of 11 children, used pid gin French and skinny-fingered gestures to emphasize his point when someone asked if his ban would be effective. "By golly right she be effec tive," he said. "I chief of Mele tribe -and when I say something going be, she going be." He said the price of a bride has jumped from $25 before the war to $200 now. "A man now have to work six months and get money from rel atives before he can afford bride," he said. Worse Problem Boe Kapena, cf Papua, said the situation was worse in New Guinea where a swain has to pay the bride s parents $250 before the engagement and $1500 be fore the wedding and pay for the bridal feast to boot. The 37-year-old Boe said it on ly cost him a total of $250 to get married 15 years ago. The serious-minded New Gui nea delegate said he realized the commission was facing serious problems, but he pleaded for them to consider the marriage situation too. He said the money he would get when his three daughters married would just about pay for getting his son married. Wafer Being Released From Grand Coulee Ephrata, Wash. (U.R) The Bureau of Reclamation is releas ing water over Grand Coulee Dam at a rate which exceeds the inflow into Lake Roosevelt in an effort to lower the reservoir to provide storage for a heavy spring runoff, Power Supervisor A. F. Darland said Saturday. He said the bureau will main tain this difference until the lake is lowered to a level of 1,250 feet. The lake is dropping at the rate of two feet per day. Darland said spillway gates will carry most of the runoff in the lake lowering operation until an elevation of 1,260 feet has been reached. Then the water will have to be carried by outlet tubes and turbines. P$i? &e sl '"16 When you buy poultry feeds, it is poor economy to let the price tag be your only guide. It's the eggs per bag that count. Many Albers-fed flocks produce a. dozen eggs with only 4. 1 lbs. of feed That's 60 dozen more eggs per ton of . feed on Albers EGG MAKER 16 than on a ration taking 5.5 lbs. Feed to produce a dozen eggs. Dear Customers and Friends: We are now doing business in our new store. We hope to give our customers quicker and better service than in the past.

J. I could not control my self. ' Mrs. B. J. After five years of happy marriage which brought us two children, my husband went to Mexico for two months to work on a job and got in volved with a girl. Now he has a venereal disease and wants me to forgive and forget. During the time he was away, he sent me two postcards and no letters. He did not even send a present for the children. If I were able to support my children, I would want to go away and forget him. Unfortun ately, I need his help financially, but I do not want to live with him again. He says he has learned his lesson, but I feel that a man who can do this once will do it again and again. B.J. I told my wife the whole truth because I wanted to be honest with her and thought she would try to understand. I became involved with a girl in Mexico because I could not con trol my physical feelings. I know other men who have purchased their satisfactions and kept that a secret from their wives, but I could not bring myself to go to a call girl nor to deceive my wife. I know I should not have given way to my feelings, but I also know now I cannot trust myself to live alone, and I will never again agree to travel alone. I did not write letters to my wife while I was away because I could not tell her" the truth and I was unable to write a lying letter or to evade the subject. I had it on my conscience, and I had to have it out. I wish my wife could understand that I never want to deceive her or be un faithful to her. I am not fickle, and I would not as much as glance at another woman if I had not been living away from home so long. The Council: We cannot agree with B. J. if he thinks it was rea sonable for him to take up with another woman because he was away from home. At the same time, we cannot agree with Mrs. B. J. that he will do the same thing "again and again." He recognizes his weakness and proposes to stay away from temptation. We think his wife should value his apparent hon esty and let It weigh in his favor. Mrs. B. J. is understandably shocked and disgusted at learn ing that her husband has been unfaithful and has contracted a venereal disease, but she should realize her husband is no Don Juan and that he, too, has been deeply hurt by his experience. Her sense of loathing at the men tion of venereal disease is diffi cult to overcome, but her hus band seems genuinely contrite and greatly need of her loy alty and support. Once she can bring herself to overcome her sense of revulsion she will realize that many wom en (and men) have many worse acts of faithlessness and disloy alty to weigh. This husband, at least, does not commit the of fense of glorifying his sex appe tite by speaking of it In roman tic terminology. He does not con fuse his errant feelings with love, and that is something in his favor. Once the situation is under stood, it should be relegated to a forgiven and forgotten past. (Copyright 1956, General Features Corp.) FBI Asked To Enter Galindez Case New York (U.R) James G. Stahlman, president of the Inter-American Press associa tion, urged President Eisenhow er today to order an FBI inves tigation into the disappearance of Prof. Jesus Galindez of Co lumbia university. Galindez, columnist for Spanish language newspapers, has been missing since March 12. He was an outspoken critic of Generalissimo Rafael Tru jillo, Dominican Republic strong man. Stahlman, publisher of the Nashville (Tenn.) Banner, wrote Mr. Eisenhower in compliance with a resolution adopted at the IAPA's recent board of directors meeting in Bermuda. The board described Galindez' disappear ance as an act of "internation al terrorism incompatible with civilized relations between na tions, and their national sover eignty." Stahlman wrote that the un solved esse is damaging the prestige of the United States, especially in Latin America. He said that the belief was wide spread that Galindez, who was last seen entering a New York subway, ''has become the victim of intrigue on the part of agents of a foreign government which has violated the sovereignty of the United States." In 25 of the 34 states which levy income taxes, the taxpay ers are permitted to deduct their federal income tax payments in the computing of their state in come tax levies. Monday.
