V TWO MTDFORD (OREGON) Gloria Swanson Pays Tribute To Men Behind the Scenes in Kramer Picture Br GLORIA SWANSON Written for United Pres Madrid (U.R) Everybody writes about the stars. I want to pay tribute to all the men be hind the scenes in the movie, "The Pride And The Passion," as well as legions unseen In the making of all motion pictures. Here in Madrid I am on sort of busman's holiday hang ing around during the shooting 01 Stanley Kramer s epic pic ture. It is only natural that should meet some pals I've worked with. They could hardly t have escaped me, unless they are newcomers. I had a chance to talk shop with a few of them. Such as: Special effects man Willis Cook, a wizard straight from Hollywood. He has engineered the building of whales for sev eral films, now for Kramer's its collapsible bridges, fireballs, plastic breakawey city walls and anything a wild imagina tion can dream up. He also has the handling of, and the experi- menting with, explosives. A nice man to know. Livestock supervisor Bob Miles. He Is a lanky Westerner who trains and, with the help of a veterinary, keeps all the four legged friends well and happy. The stuffed horses who play dead are not in his charge. They belong to props.

Poor Cole, Director of wardrobe Joe King Is another brave man, with 30,- 000 bits and pieces, as well as thousands of Spanish and French uniforms, and thousands of 19th century costumes and religious robes. I wonder If he could use any of my wardrobe? I ra sick of lugging 24 pieces about for any climate and con tingency and paying for excess luggage. Morse Reaffirms Complete Neutrality Portland (U.R) Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) has reaffirmed his "complete neutrality" in Oregon's presidential primary race between Sen. Estes Kefau- ver and Adlai Stevenson. The two Democratic pres idential candidates seek write in votes in Friday's primary election. "I want to restate my Impar tial support of and my confi dence in the two candidates," Morse said in a statement issued through his office here. "Both Stevenson and Kefauver are eminently qualified for the pres idency and I am happy they decided to allow Oregon voters to choose between them." The statement said Morse's comments came after he learned that various supporters of the Democratic presidential write-in contenders were claiming his support for their candidate. FOR VOTE Thursday, May 17, I95S Cameraman Franz Planer nas the nerve-racking job of always getting perfect photography and in color, no matter how tem peramental the weather these days or the distance of the devel oping laboratory. I'd be a wreck because I can't even manage my develop-in-a-minute p o 1 a r o id All cameramen have something in common, they are always the darling of the female star. Ill give you one guess why. Dub It Out The sound man, Joseph Debre- tague, has the problem of work ing out of doors because 90 per cent of "The Pride And The Passion" is exterior. In case any thing goes wrong, unlike the photographer, he has the advant age of dubbing. In the studio he can put your voice back in your mouth. In a foreign country it is noth ing to have another voice in it. I understand that I spoke per fect Spanish in "Sunset Boul evard." I must meet my Spanish voice before I say "Adios" to Madrid and the Stanly Kramer staff, . cast and crew who, like your writer, will become no mads. The only difference be ing that they know where they are going. Re-Marriages Said To Have Same Success Chance University Park, Pa. (U.R) A five-year study of remarriages shows that they have the same chance for success as first mar riages. Dr. Jesse Bernard, professor of sociology at Pennsylvania State University, said that "al though some clinical psycholo gist look on divorce as a sign of neuroticism, this isn't true at all, "In one out of every five mar riages today, either one or both of the partners has been married before." Dr. Bernard pointed out. "Many of them will live happily ever after, too." She also has found that while the divorce rate in re-marriages is higher than in first marriages of the re-married couples who re main married, relatively fewer are unhappily married. "It's easier having been div orced once," she said, "to elect divorce as the way out again. But if the alternative of divorce is rejected, the couple tend to work harder, at making their marriage a success. Since they are usually older and more ex perienced, they have a better chance of winning out." . No Step-parent Trouble Dr. Bernard said that In' any re -married combination where there is a divorced woman, the proportion of success is smaller. She said the least successful re-marriage is likely to be one where both partners have pre viously been divorced. Most suc cessful are widowed persons re marrying, particularly a widow ed woman. "We have also learned." she added, ' "that the step-relation ship isn t necessarily disastrous 'Snow White' and 'Cinderella' to the contrary. Difficulties. when encountered, are the re sult of a low socio-economic status and are not inherent in the step-relationship itself." Dr. Bernard said a study of Penn State students who were children in remarried homes showed that they I suffered no handicaps from having-a step parent. Dr. Bernard also noted that in America today "there are more second spouses than in societies where polygamy is the approved practice." SPINACH EXPERT Des M o I n e s (U.R) Jerry Metrz is the most popular boy in the sixth grade at St. John's school because he likes spinach. Students at the school must show clean lunch plates before they are permitted to go outside to sit beside Jerry because he likes spinach so well he will eat his own and that of others sitting near him who dont' like it.

On The Side (Distributed by King There is currently a depres sing excess oi widows, some thing must be done for the im provement of the longevity of husbands. Why do so many women outlive their spouses According to some who have engaged in research as to life among the married, " too many women push their husbands too hard. Not only do the wives push their spouses hard to make money but they won't let them relax. Women like a man around the house but they want him to be a handy man. Also, too many wives drag their husbands to too many parties and social en gagements at times when the poor fellows should be taking it easy. Remembering "Babe" Ruth's hitting feats are well remembered. His pitch ing achievements have been for gotten. For example, the "Babe pitched and won the longest game in world series history. That was in 1916 when the Bos ton Red Sox defeated Brooklyn by a score of 2 to 1 in a 14 inning game. Another World Series pitching record held by the ver satile "Babe is that of pitching 29 consecutive shut-out innings in the 1916 and 1918 -events. Famous Fellow Another famous fellow named Hitchcock - was Rex Ingram Hitchcock, professionally known as Rex Ingram. He directed that film classic "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse," and is also credited with being the discov erer of Rudolf Valentino. Rex was a native of Ireland. He was born in Dublin and educated at Trinity College. Now and Then This theatrical season is the best in years. Still, if in a mood for comparison, consider what New York theatergoers had to choose from 50 years ago. The following plays were being pre sented during the season of 1906: Maude -Adams in "Peter Pan"; David Warfield in "The Music Master;" Blanche Bates in "The Girl of The Golden West;" Olga Nethersole in "Sapho;" William Faversham in "The Squaw Man;" Ethel Barrymore in Alice-Sit-By-The-Fire;" George M. Cohan in "Little Johnny Jones;" Robert Lorraine in "Man And Superman; Henry E. Dixey in "The Man On The Box;" Eddie Foy in "The Earl and the Girl; Richard Carle in "The Mayor of Tokio;" Louis Mann and Clara Lipman in "Julie Bonbon" and Fay Templeton and Victor Moore in "Forty Five Minutes from Broadway." Making The Grade A widow left with a number of children to support and having no business experience is truly in a tough spot. However, quite few widows in that situation have mastered it and achieved unusual success. An example is Leana Hammelstein. Leana was the originator of the maternity dress. She was the first person to operate what is now known as an anticipation shop. Also I-. THEY ALWAYS EXPECT TO OfcT Ai MUCH FOR THE OLD F IC&-WM50N AS THE NEW MODEL.

She was the originator of the term "styl ish stout." She was the organizer of what now highly successful and world famous organization known as Lane Bryant, Inc. Sidelights As for a song about a girl named Anna there is one titled, "Anna from Indiana." An un usual angle to this song is that the heroine, Anna, is described as weighing 250 pounds . . . regarding light portable type writers one manufactured in Switzerland weighs eight pounds including metal case. Alone the machine weighs five pounds. Briefly Manufacture something peo ple use but once and then is thrown away. That is what I heard a highly successful busi ness man advise a young fellow. If, and when, you consider going into business for yourself keep in mind ... a two mile road in Korea that was constructed by U. S. Army engineers is named "Marilyn Monroe Road." It has 23 curves. Unique Bar The name of a bar in Paris Is "Whiskey A Gogo" (Whiskey Galore. The only drink this bar serves is whiskey. Regular clients can buy whiskey by the bottle and have - it reserved for them in a locker- That not only makes it cheaper by the drink but the regulars know what they are getting. Substitution is im possible. Somebody should start a "Whiskey A Gogo" bar in New York. Eagle Point Slates Benefit Dance May 22 Eagle Point A benefit dance will be held at the Oasis ball room Tuesday, May 22, from 8 p.m. to midnight, for the Eagle Point town baseball team. Proceeds will go to purchase uniforms and equipment for the team, which will play its first game of the season against Grants Pass, May 27. Dick Spain and his Rogue Valley Boys will provide the mu sic for the dance. LIGHT ROCKS Minneapolis, Minn. (U.R) Most gardeners say that nothing sets off the liveliness of flowers like the contrasting beauty of rocks. But rocks are heavy and the right kind can't always be found to dress up a flower bed. So the oil industry has delivered an answer plastic rocks. The American Petroleum Institute says they come In several na tural, permament colors and are made with metal prongs to lock them in place. - Court Records POLICE COURT v Doris Regina Wood, no operators license. $5. .

(U.R) Sev en paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne Division, Fort Bragg, N.., were injured here yesterday in an air-drop demonstration at the guided missiles and artillery center. One soldier's chute failed to inflate properly, and he ' plum meted to earth before 6,000 spec tators with his 'chute streaming behind him. The soldier, Oscar R. Lozano, Hidalgo, Mex., suffered a brok en back and at first was believed dead. He was taken to the base hospital, where doctors said he probably will recover. The oth er six suffered minor injuries. EXPERIENCED WIFE Memphis, Tenn. (U.R) After hours of fishing without a bite, M. A. Lightman Jr. started in on the "sandwiches his wife had fix ed the night before. Inside one he found this note: "How's the fishing? Well that's too bad. Love, Jean." LETS FACE THE FACTS AS 0FFDCDAO.Y RECORDED S ,.v ' ' ' ' County budgets have not carried any $700,000.00 sinking fund nor do any items In the budget total $700,000.00 for sinking funds. This fact has been explained and certified by both George Stacey, certified public accountant, and Bereth Hopkins, Jackson county clerk. . 2. Jackson county has a new annex to its courthouse. It was well built under the constant supervision of the county's certified architect, Ben Todd. Any statement that money was wasted on this worthwhile construction is completely false. 3. All members of the present County Court and Citizen's Budget Committee share In the credit for the construction of the new courthouse annex not just Shy Morthland. The members do not feel that it is a mistake to plan for the future in making needed improve ments to county facilities. It has been claimed that only L. G. Morthland approved authorizations and plans for construction. All contracts and plans were signed by Judge Rod Keating, Robert Lytle and L. G. Morthland, and approved by Ben Todd, architect. 4. Taxes for county administration are low. Of your total real property taxes only 8.1 mills out of an average of 65 mills goes to finance all county administration in the 1955-56 budget. In the 1955-56 budget, the only levy will be for the county juvenile detention home and the Jackson county museum, both voted by the people, totaling less than mill. All other services are being financed from existing county funds already on hand and estimated receipts other than taxes. More than six months ago, long before candidates filed for public office, L. G. Morthland announced that there would be no levy for county administration this year. He has kept this promise and no candidate Is entitled to take credit for the saving to the taxpayers. 5. Jackson county has no indebtedness the mark of an efficiently, economically operated , organization. Jackson county's financial position has been such that it was able to dis tribute $685,859.09 to county school districts to redeem their bonded indebtedness. IT6TE 91-K L. fi. "SHV" REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER Pd. Adv. Morthland for Around Hollywood Hollywood (U.R) Who are the world's most beautiful wom en? To a top magazine fashion photographer they include some film queens but mostly "un sung beau ties," . from Ven e t i a n countesses to Hollywood wives. Richard Av- Aline Mosbr edon is an authority on beauty from his 12 years of photograph ing, film stars and thin, surpris-ed-looking models for Harper's Bazaar in New York. His field is so unusual Paramount is film ing his life story, "Funny Face," with Fred Astaire as the photo grapher and Audrey Hepburn as the model. While working as "visual con sulant" on the film, Avedon did more research into Hollywood faces and came up with his "World's best" list. His nod first goes to many members of Italian royalty. He bypasses luscious starlets here to list the wives of Directors Billy Wilder, Jean Negulesco and Stanley Donen; Georgiana Montalban, wife of actor Ricar- do Montalban and sister of Lor etta Young; and Mrs. Leland Hayward, wife of the producer. His most beautiful list includes some actresses: Ava Gardner, Audrey Hepburn, Katharine Hepburn, Italy's Anna Magnani, Jean Simmons and newcomers Lois Smith and Susan Strasberg. His New York list includes Mrs. Wililam Paley, wife of the CBS executive. "My book on the most beauti ful women will include Pier An geli, as she looked when she first came to America. Since then she's conformed more," said Av edon as we sat on his movie set. Lix Taylor Mentioned ' "Liz Taylor was one of the most beautiful years ago . . . there are times when Judy Gar land is just beautiful,' but you never know what she'll look like 10 days from now (Avedon stag ed her last TV show) ..." Avedon, a young man with a photogenic face himself, has de vised his unusual definition of beauty: "The women I selected are County Commissioner Committee, By ALINE MOSBT United Press Correspondent women who do not fit Into a mold. They have established their own beauty. I look for an original quality, a woman who has found her own way to look exciting. It doesn't matter how many lines there are, or if the nose is too big or too small. If there is excitement in a wom an it comes through in a pic ture. It comes from inside of her."
