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."

Homemaker Backbone
Of Country, Oregon's
Mrs. America Asserts
By A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Washington "The homemak
er is the backbone of this coun
try," said the attractive lady
from Oregon
to her lunch
eon compan

room.
"I think it is

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. The retiring admiral saw serv
ice in anti-submarine warfare in
World War I and commanded
naval units in the Solomons, Iwo
Jima and Okinawa campaigns
during World War II.
Low will be officially retired
with the rank of full admiral.

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.
These are the reasons why Americans are
putting more of their savings account dollars
into insured Savings and Loan Associations
than anywhere else!
