Movie Crew Now Filming In Spain Could Have Repulsed Onslaught by Napoleon
By GLORIA SWANSOK
Written for United Prei
Madrid (U.R) If Napoleon
had faced the highly coordinated
expert-studded "movie crew" of
producer-director Stanley Kram
er in the year 1810, he would not
have taken one inch of Spanish
soil.
In the American vernacular,
"that is for sure." In fact, Kram
er's army of technicians would
unquestionably have taken Na
poleon, and Waterloo would
The Family Council
Editor's Kote: T Family Council consists of a judxc, a psychiatrist, a
wspaper editor, a women's pare editor and two newspaper writers. These
consult with elerrymen of all faiths and denominations. All letters are held
In complete confidence.
Mrs. R. T. My husband be
haves wildly.
The Council He is just a cry
baby.
Mrs. R. T. I cannot begin to
understand my husband. We
have been married eight years,
and he has been generous and
thoughtful most of the time, but
he periodically becomes involved
in infidelities that he seems to
flaunt in my face. I cannot help
but react to these situations, and
then there is a whole cycle of
wild behavior, which inevitably
winds up in his pleas for a re
conciliation. We have been separated and
reconciled time and again, and
I am beginning to feel that I do
not want to go through another
of these very wearing cycles.
Here is the sequence of the last
flare-up.
My husband came home drunk
one evening, and it was clear
Just by looking at him that he
had been with some cheap wo
man. I determined not to have
a scene, but he sensed that I
resented his condition. He start
ed making apologies and at
tempting to embrace me. I walk
ed out of the room to avoid hav
ing to repulse him and argue
with him.
When I returned a little later,
he was on the telephone, and I
heard him repeatedly using the
- name of "Marie" whom I know
to be his first wife from whom
he was divorced ten years ago
and who is married again. It
seems that every time he has a
problem with me or any kind
of upset, he gets Marie on the
long-distance and tells her how
much he loves her. When he saw
that 1 had overheard, he con
cluded his conversation and then
proceeded to make a pathetic
scene, crying how much he loved
me.
It is more than I can endure
any longer.
R.T. My wife cannot under
stand that I need her love and
that I turn to others only because
she rejects me. I have always
loved my first wife, but I mis
behaved and she divorced me.
But she is understanding and
she always tries to advise me
when I turn to her. I wish I
could talk as freely to my pre
sent wife, but she turns on me
when I have to admit to any
weakness.
My wife is always threaten
big to break up and leave me.
and I feel that would be the end
of me. I don't like to be a cry
baby, but I feel that if I had a
mora secure relationship with
.my wife, I would not lose con
trol of myself and turn to drink
and casual affairs.
The Council: The husband
very clearly is being a cry baby,
but his wife should have realiz
ed the kind of situation she was
getting into when she married
him. Certainly, when a woman
marries a divorced man, she is
on notice that there may be a
problem, and she should have :
learned more about him.
Cry babies have to brought I
up, and it is not always easy to
do so. We do not believe that ;
the wife has justification for
walking out on this man, who j
is admittedly generous and kind !
most of the time, except when he '
is upset. This man's ego is ob-!
viously both tender and inflated,
and he can probably be managed '
with ease by a wife who is wil- i
ling to make the emotional j
effort. j
If the wife can bring herself i
to love this man, she will save
him from his strayings and will :
make it unnecessary for him to '
turn to his first Wife when he ,
hungers for a few kind words.
This man simply has never
grown up, but he is manageable, '
and his wife has thus far failed ;
to recognize his problem.

have been remembered only as
a railroad station in London.
On location 45 minutes out of
Madrid, I mentioned to Cary
Grant, one of the three stars of
Kramer's epic motion picture of
Spain, "The Pride and the Pass
ion,'' that this vast picture, with
company experts covering 100
different categories, moved with
the precision of a superbly or
ganized American army.
His eyes sparkled as he agreed,
especially when he repeated a
Reader's Digest story he had read
which told that the first persons
always used by the American
Army in North Africa to advance
and set the stage for the troops
were circus technicians.
Cary's pride was a natural one
because he was not forgetting
that his circus performing days
had provided a valuable stepping
stone.
No Child's Play -
Most people don't know the
innumerable talents and variety
of trades that go into the making
of a motion picture. Many are in
clined to believe that the creat
ing of entertainment is "child's
play" and not a serious business.
I am sure there are more ex
perts on the making of this epic
film than there are in most of our
leading and highly respected in
dustries. Yes', we, too, can boast
fully count construction and el
ectrical engineers, architects and
chemists among a studio's long
list of departments.
What is more, each picture
presents a new problem and it
isn't always as easy as bringing
out a new model car each year.
Guts are often required of the
unapplauded.
Spectacular Scene
I watched a scene filmed in
which 350 men took their lives
in their hands 350 courageous
Spanish stuntmen. They charged
down a near . 90-degree incline
through ? barrage of fireballs
they had hurled ahead of them.
Three were burned about the
face, but it was a miracle that
nobody was killed.
If this scene lasts more than
two minutes on the screen I shall
be greatly surprised, yet it took
all these men plus the coordin
ated team work of ever so many
technicians behind the camera,
many hours of preparation. ,
The amount of ingenuity ev
en invention is incalculable.
Most of Spain has been invad
ed by this American unit of efficiency-plus.
When they leave
in about four months they, will
leave behind more than any oth
er invaders, more ' than money
and good-will.
It is something that took the
American film industry more
than 50 years to learn the hard
way ' a huge bag full of Holly
wood tricks "
Portland Rose Festival '
Hopes Growing Brighter
Portland (U.R) AU is well
on the Rose front and officials
of Portland's famed Rose Festi
val have breathed a sigh of re
lief as residents began to report
the first rose blooms of the year.
' Last winter's killing freeze
took its toll on the flowers and
shrubs around the city and offi
cials had been fearful that the
48th annual Rose Festival, June
6 to 9, might be a festival with
out roses.

Hearings Slated
On Hells Canyon
Washington (U.R) .The
Federal Power commission has
scheduled three hearings on an
application by Pacific Northwest
Power co., Portland, Ore., for a
hydroelectric project in Idaho
and Oregon.
The $143,700,000 project would
be located on the Snake river in
Idaho and Adams counties, Ida
ho, anu Wallowa county, Ore.
The project would include two
developments, d e s i gnated as
Mountain Sheep and Pleasant
Valley. They would have a com
bined generating capacity at the
start of 1,000,000 kilowatts.
The hearings will be held in
Pendleton, Ore., on June 18,
Lewiston, Idaho, June 21, and
Washington, D.C., on July 17.
The commission said one of
the things the hearings will be
concerned with is whether the
FPC "should find that the gov
ernment itself should undertake
development of the water re
sources involved for public purposes."
NO CANDIDATES
.Vevay, Ind.-(U.R) The hulla
baloo over Indiana's presiden
tial primary Tuesday didn't
mean a thing in Switzerland
county. County Clerk Cecil Du
vall did not put the names of
any of the presidential candi
dates on the ballot because "no
body told me to."
