m CALL OUT THE GUARD! What appear to be a couple of tired, escaping convicts are only twins John and Ronald White of Norwalk, Calif., keeping the crowd in stitches with their antics at the 19th annual Twinorama show at Huntington Beach, Calif. They won second prize as the handsome boys in the show. It's obvious they won most of the attention.

Betty M. We must ask our parents to help us a little longer. Dick M. I want to get on my own feet. Betty M. When we were mar ried three years ago, my hus band and I were in our last year of college. My parents were op posed to the marriage because they thought we should wait until we could be self-supporting. We eloped, however, and my parents as well as my hus band's parents supported us. My husband had originally planned to go on with graduate studies to prepare himself for a professional career, but after we were married, he said he thought he should go to work immediate ly after graduation. Both sets of parents finally prevailed on him to go ahead with his grad uate work and agreed to con tinue helping us because they felt it would be better for us in the long run. I worked for a while, but had a baby after a year and have been unable to help with our support since. My husband found the going very tough at graduate school, al though he had been a good stu dent at college. He finally flunked out. It was a terrible blow to us, but we had to face the fact that he was never really cut out for the field he had pre pared for. Now we are thinking in terms of another profession that would take another year or two of study. I say we must ask our parents to help us a little longer. But my husband refuses to do this even though it will ruin his future and. of course, mine and the baby's. We can't afford to be proud now. Dick M Betty is much too ambitious and expects too much of me. She is not satisfied to have me be an ordinary guy who makes an ordinary living. She has no idea of what it means to a man not to be able to sup port his own family. I never wanted support in the first place, but my wife talked me into it. The whole thing undermined my morale all though school. What if I should fail again? I'm just sick of the whole business and want to get on my own feet as quickly as possible. The Council: If Betty were not the same willful and imma ture eirl she was when she eloped with Dick, she would be dent. able to see that her husband is now in no condition to start new studies on the old basis of family support. Betty talks of false pride, but she fails to see that her hus band's very real pride and self confidence have been so deeply damaged that he is probably well justified in his fear of a second failure. Betty seems to want to play the little girl endlessly and seeks her parents' support as a means of assuring herself of this state. Dick has shown himself weak and childish in the past first, by probably allowing Betty to convince him to elope without making definite plans for the future and then by allowing him self to be supported against his better judgement. Many parents today help married couples still at college, but usually they vol unteer this support because they want to see the pair married. Dick was placed in the position of holding up reluctant in-laws. Dick is now beginning to grow up and assert himself and Betty would do well to try to measure up to him. Her husband needs her encouragement and love, not her ambition and childishly domineering impulses at this time. Dick should not let himself feel too unhappy about the past or too pessimistic about his abilities in the future because his personal unhappiness un doubtedly contributed to his fail ure at school. Some day he may want to continue further studies on his own, part-time. If he does, it may boost his morale im measurably. But he should not be driven to do this or cin- sider attempting it until he feels he is firmly standing on his own two feet. (Copyright 1956. General Features Corp.)

In many cases "over 21" would be sufficient. It has been suggested that women be per mitted to answer, "over 21" un til they are 50. After passing 50 they could answer "mature."

C (U.R) Hillbilly entertainer Jim Thornton today faced a S50.000 slander suit filed by a police sergeant whom he allegedly called a "briar-eating" mule on his television pro gram.

She will try for twice that amount next week. Miss Garoppo wore a reveal ing, low-cut gown in her first ap pearance on the show. Since then, however, she has switched to more modest attire. Italian newspapers have reported that Pope Pius XII watches the pro gram every Thursday night. Presley. "The Pelv is" has invad ed the movies, an event to be viewed with delight or alarm, depending on what one thinks of the hip-swinging singer. Elvis' movie debut in "Love Me Tender" has caused more of a fuss at 20th Century-Fox stu dio than when Marilyn Monroe was around. Excited young .girls hang around the studio gates, letters weigh down mail sacks and telephones ring like crazy with calls from Presley fans. Secretary Handles Crush Thus Vienna - born T r u d e Forsher had to be hired by Elvis to take care of the crush. "I'm an acquaintance of Mr. Presley's manager, and he asked me to help out," explained the secretary as she sat at her desk Suit Filed Seeking Stop Payment of Bills Portland (U.R) A suit was filed yesterday which seeks to stop payment by Multnomah county of bills and claims in curred by Attorney General Robert Y. Thornton in the cur rent vice probe. The suit was filed by W. E. Glenn Jr., a cafe owner, on behalf of himself "and other taxpayers in the county." Thornton said he would resist the suit and press for pavment of the bills. Multnomah county commis sioners approved on Aug. 30 payment of the bills but they did so under protest. They were concerned whether the attorney general has unlimited power to incur debts that must be paid by the county. Thornton, who was ordered into the investigation by Gov. Elmo Smith, said he has told the county that it is legally re sponsible for the bills. in Presley's dressing room suite at the studio. "It's a fascinating job. Yester day I got long distance calls from every state in the union from girls wanting to talk to Elvis. Of course, they can't, because, he is on location and doesn't return to the studio until after 6 o'clock. "Then when word got out he's on the Ed Sullivan TV show Sun day night hundreds called want ing tickets, but CBS handles that." Calls Jam Switchboard The addition of "hundreds" of telephone calls for Elvis each day has jammed the studio switchboard. Petite, 30-ish Trude has two telephones on her desk and asked for a third. Besides answering the jingles, she takes care of The Pelvis' mail, forwarding fan letters to his Madison. Tenn., office. Then there are studio workers who troop in asking for photographs. Another of Trade's duties is to take dictation from Elvis. But not on his lap. The secretary is happily married to an engineer who, she says, is "very proud" of her job. "My friends are sort of sur prised though," she added.
