Terms. Actor Plays Leads in Two Plays Ashland "A patron of virtue, Rome's best champion," and "that foul defacer of Gods ?n diwork" admirably describe Ti tus Andronicus and Richard the Third, both portrayed at this summer's Oregon Shakespear ean Festival by Don Gunderson of Chicago. In addition to the title role in "Richard the Third," Gunderson indulges in further villainy as Iachimo in "Cymbeline." For his role as Richard, he is at present grow ing his own period "wig." Actor Gunderson was with the festival in 1950, and will be remembered for his Antony in "Antony and Cleopatra." Orlan do in "As You Like It," and Northumberland in "Henry IV," Part I." In addition to these, he has played several leading roles at the Universities of Minnesota and Washington; the Wharf theatre in Monterey, Calif.; and the Golden Bough theatre in Carmel, Calif. This past year, he has been engaged as a directing student at the Goodman Memo rial theatre in Chicago. As Richard, Gunderson :s killed by Richmond, "England's Hope," played by Michael F. Kasdan of New York City, and both are busy learning the finer points of this historical episode. Gunderson is being taught to "fence with a limp," and will die spectacularly at the hands of a left-handed Richmond. Histor ical fact dictates the former, however there is no historical record for or against the latter. This is Kasdan's second sea son with the festival, and in ad dition to Richmond he is play ing Paris in "Romeo and -Juliet," Longaville in "Love's La bour's Lost," and Lucius, one of the few characters to last the duration of "Titus Andronicus." Last month he received his BA degree in speech from Ober- Im college, Ohio, and last year at Oberlin played Prospero in "The Tempest," and Biff in Ar thur Miller's "Death of a Sales man." His roles in last summer's fes tival included Demetrius in 'A Midsummer Night's Dream Flavius in "Timon of Athens and Hecate in "Macbeth." Gunderson and Kasdan both hold festival scholarships 1 nis season s festival opens August 1 with "Richard the Third," and continues through September 1, with a final per formance of "Romeo and Juliet."

In Nation's Capital This is the message of Mrs America, who in private life is Mrs. Cleo Maletis of Portland. She was iri the nation's capital this week as one of the principal figures in the annual convention of the American Home Econo mists association. Mrs. Maletis became Mrs. America in May, after going to the .finals in Florida as the entry from Oregon considered by the judges to be the top homemaker from the state. As. Mrs. America, she has en- James Roosevelt, Bride on Honeymoon Los Angeles U.P.) Rep. James Roosevelt (D.-Calif.) and his former personal secretary honeymooned here today. The 49-year-old son of the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt married divorcee Mrs. Gladys Irene Owens, 39, Sunday in quiet ceremony. The Rev. Frank ' Crane, Methodist minister, performed the ceremony. The bride was one of three corespondents named by tin congressman's second wife, Mrs Romelle Roosevelt, in a sensa tional divorce action in 1954. The second Mrs. Roosevelt mother of three of Roosevelt's five children, charged the legis lator had been intimate with nu merous women during their mar riage. She later amended her com plaint to mental cruelty and was granted a default divorce June 21, 1955. The decree became fi nal last week. Retirement Ends Long Naval Career. San Francisco U.R) : Vice Adm. Frances S. Low, command er of the Western Sea Frontier retired today after a distin guished naval career that spanned more than 40 years. Low, 61, turned over his com mand Saturday to Rear Adm. John R. Redman, commandant of the 12th Naval district, pend ing arrival of Vice Adm. Wil liam M. Callaghan. A midnight ceremony tonight aboard the submarine USS Bu- gara will signal the end of a career that began in 1915 when Low was graduated from An napolis.

YJV2X.A. gagements scheduled for the en tire year until next spring when her successor is chosen. But each affair is far enough apart for her to return to her husband and three sons, ages 2, 4 and 7. Visit in Europe In October she and her hus band are going to visit a do?en countries in Europe "to let them see what a typical American homemaker is like." And every where she goes, she will simply try to make a little headway in stressing the importance of the hometo everyone. In this connection, Mrs. Amer ica is very much against the working mother of youngsters, particularly if the children are not in school. "In those early formative years," she emphasized, "jX 4s so important for mother to be in the home, to give her children lots of love and understanding. Unless there is a dire need for the extra money, I think it is wrong. Usually the few extra dollars that are left over after paying for baby sitters and housecleaners aren't worth while." She said what she thinks most homes need are more love and religion. Mrs. Maletis is looking for ward to visiting Greece on her European trip, which is part of the reward she received for the honor and work of serving as Mrs. America. The reason is that she will have the distinction cf representing the U.S. in a visit to the land in which the parents of her and Mr. Maletis were born. This past week she was visit ing with home economists from all over the country who were here to talk shop and share new ideas among themselves, as well as with manufacturers of home appliances. . The visitor to George Wash ington's plantation home, Mt. Vernon, gets a bare boards view of the building these days. For the first time in 20 years, the carefully preserved build ings that overlook the Potomac south of Washington are being stripped of the many coats of paint that have been applied over .the last two decades. To avoid the danger of fire, workmen are using an electric flatiron type device instead of a blowtorch to loosen the old paint. It's a much longer, tedious job that way, but it's a way to beautify with safety one of the country s most famous shrines Where you Big events like weildings are worth saving for. And as over 1 5 million Americans know, saving in an insured Savings and Loan Association offers important advantages. Excellent returns from your money is one advantage. Another is modern.efficient.forward-looking service. And, of course, your money is safe because in insured Associations your savings are pro tected by sound management and substantial reserves. They are insured up to $10,000 by the FSLIC an agency of.the U.S. Government.
