The Family Council Editor's note: Tbe Family Council consists ot a Judge, psychiatrist, three clergymen, a newspaper editor, a women's editor and two writers Each article is a summary of an actual report. The Family Council does not give advice; it merelv reports on problems that bavo been dealt wltb by responsible agencies and counselors. Mr. H. G. My son wants to patch up his bad marriage. Gerald G. Cynthia needs me now. Mr. H. G. Three years ago our son got married against our wishes at the age of 18. The girl he married was only 16. They ran oli and eloped and then came to live with us because the girl's parents refused to have anything to do with them. A year after they married they had a baby. We saw at once that the girl did not know how to look after the baby and my wife tried to help her. This caus ed quarrels and finally they moved away. After a few months Gerald and Cynthia broke up. Then the baby took sick and died. Gerald was heartbroken and has been a nervous wreck ever since. Now he wants to go back to Cynthia. . We feel this would be a terrible mistake. The girl is not a fit wife and mother. ' Gerald G. I am just as guilty for my son's death as Cynthia. I left her alone with the baby when I knew she was not feeling well and I made her nervous with our terrible fights. ' Cynthia needs me now. She does not want to go back to live with her parents, who hate her for having married me in the first place. My parents seem to feel 1 am lucky now not to be tied down because of the baby, but I feel I would like to start all over again with Cynthia. I want to have a family and be a good father this time. My parents think I am still too young to be married, but I am married anyway. Don't I belong with my wife at this time? The Council Mr. and H. G. fail to recognize that their son has enormously matured through his tragic experience. They should not now undermine his morale and his new-found strength by keeping him from his wife. They seem to want to cross off the entire marriage as a disaster, but there is much more to be gained by thinking of It as a firsf, halting step toward maturity. Gerald is right in saying he belongs with his wife now and always, but perhaps he does not realize he must still face grave problems. If Cynthia has been Quotes From the News By UNITED PRES3 New York Ingrld Bergman discussing press coverage with newsmen during her week end in New York: "My life is yours." Washington A woman guest shrieking as Vice President Nixon passed during a giant reception in honor of the state gover nors attending the inauguration: "Oh, I touched him." Chicago Mrs. Bertha Sowa, praying for recovery of her 18-year-old son, Paul, who Sunday entered his 13th year of continu ous sleep as a sufferer of the mysterious disease, encephalitis: "Only the good Lord really knows what's ahead for Paul. In the meantime, we will pray for him and do our best to make him comfortable." Washington Lewis L. Strauss, chairman of the Atomic Energy commission, announcing thai Russia has exploded another nuclear bomb: "The Soviets yesterday conducted another nuclear weapons test In their current series which has been resumed since announce ment of a Soviet test was made by the United Slates on Not. 17, 1956." Pittsburgh Don C. Earick, leader of a protest movement to curb United Steelworkers of America dues increases, attacking the USW Executive board's rejection of appeals for protest leaders to be listed on election ballots: "It doesn't look to me like the Executive board had any inten tion of giving us a fair and square hearing." Washington Senate Republican Leader William F. Knowland suggesting that Russia withdraw its troops and guarantee free elections in the satellite states of Eastern Europe if it really wants peace: "Then let the great powers, including the United States, guar antee the neutrality of these stales." Vienna Austrian Chancellor Julius Raab attacking tyrannni cal Hungarian rule which is forcing thousands of Hungarians to flee to Austria: "It is unbelievable that in the last four days despite the fierce winter weather, 1,261 fugitives nevertheless came to Austria. Is there any plainer evidence that these people were driven by anxiety and fear?" STAR -Br CXAT R.

It is possible that Cynthia has not grown through experience quite as much as Gerald has. Her belief that her parents "hate her" for having married Gerald in the first place is likely to be untrue and may indicate an im mature and neurotic frame of mind. She should go back to live with her husband, not because she dislikes or fears her parents or because she feels they don't want her, but simply because she wants to be with her hus band and to make a better fu ture with him. It won't be all smooth for this couple. They are still very young and can't expect to be entirely different overnight from the boy and girl they were only a short time ago. Gerald is new strength ened by all the emotions brought on by this misfortune, but he must recognize that it will take day-to-day routine patience and courage to make a go of his mar riage. His present good will and clear - sightedness indicate the road toward a more hopeful fu ture. (Copyright 1957. General Features Corp.) Rescue Crews Reach Four Coal Miners Anchorage, Alaska U.PJ Rescue crews Saturday reached the bodies of four miners killed Friday when a violent explosion trapped them deep in a coal mine near here and a search continued for a fifth man en tombed in the slope. But rescue workers feared that the fifth miner, also was dead. Four six-hour rescue crews worked through the night to fight their way down the 1,000 foot mine slope at Jonesville. Alaska, 65 miles north of here. The bodies were recovered at the 750-foot level. One worker reported running into "a wall of poison gas" after he got some distance into the mine. It was believed the four deaths were a result of the gas and the effects of the explosion which occurred shortly after 10 a.m. Friday. GAZElC? POLLAN- Activity Guide fo the Stars.

S&r' LITTLE HOOFER Marge and Gower Champion beam over son Gregg as they show off the little fellow in Holly wood for his first time before the cameras. The dancing Champions will be starring on their own television show starting in March. Around Hollywood Hollywood U.R What's one of the toughest problems of a lady executive in the movie .. business? Get ting actresses to work for you, the town's only female producer mourns. You usually think of Holly wood's work ing females as Aline Moshy only those in greasepaint before the cameras. But behind scenes there are a few who have made successful careers. Producer Harriet Parsons is such a rarity that when stars walk into their producer's office and discover she's a female, the reaction is varied. Men Arc Amused "The men at first are amused to work for a woman, but after a while they respect you," Miss Parsons reflected today as she sat in her office at 20th Century Fox Studio. "But the women well, some such as Irene Dunne and Bar bara Stanwyck are thorough pro fessionals. Others for some rea son resent working for a woman. Perhaps they think another woman can't be fooled . . . "I don't think Marilyn Monroe liked working for me in 'Clash By Night'. She was used to twist ing men around her little finger. When we went on location, she was constantly late to the set. So I went to her room every morning to prod her along." Only One Crisis Actress employees are only one crisis to this handsome wom an who has succeeded for 25 years in one of the rnost com petitive industries in the land. "A woman in any business has to prove herself twice as much as a man," she figures. "She has to walk a tight rope. If she's Oregonians Among Inaugural Spectators Washington (U.R) Among the interested spectators today at the inauguration of President Eisenhower was Oregon's new Governor, Robert D. Holmes. Gov. and Mrs. Holmes arrived in the nation's capitol yesterday and were greeted by several members of the state's congres sional delegation. Mrs. James Sharp, wife of the president of the Oregon State society here, presented a sheaf of scarlet roses to Mrs. Holmes upon the couple's arrival. Prominent in the inaugural parade was a former Sisters, Ore., girl, Clydene Bush, who rode atop Miss Burma, the ele phant symbol of the Republican party. Robert D. Maxwell of Red mond, winner of the Congres sional Medal of Honor, was a special guest at the inaugural. Star Witness-Says Doctor Hid Morphine Eastbourne, England U.R) The star witness in the hearing of Dr. John Bodkin Adams said today the doctor attempted to hide two bottles of morphine when detectives searched his of fice. Dapper Scotland Yard Super intendent Herbert Hannam was the first witness today as Adams' hearing on a charge of "murder for profit" went into its second week. He is accused of using huge overdoses of narcotics to take the life of Mrs. Alice Edith Morrell, a wealthy widow who named him ia her wilL v Jf,f Mr- y-r .1"' By ALINE MOSBY United Prees Correspondent a boss she has to make decisions but she can't be bossy when she's working with men." Hollywood has "great resist ance to women executives" she says. Miss Parsons made the grade as a newspaper woman like her famous mother, Louella Parsons and magazine writer. Only one woman, Ida Lupino, is listed among the film indus try's 600 directors. There are 175 women out of 1,500 writers and nine females among 195 film editors (cutters). Klemsen Pinch-Hits As Oregon Speaker Salem (U.R) Robert R. Klemsen, St. Helens Democrat, was elected temporary speaker of the Oregon House of Repre sentatives today by a unanimous vote. Klemsen was elected in the absence of Speaker Pat Dooley, Portland, who has assumed the duties of governor until Gov. Robert Holmes returns from President Eisenhower's inaugur ation late Tuesday.

Sir Francis Drake sailed north in 1579 in the hope of finding a Northwest passage of escape with the treasure he had pirated from the Spaniards. Drake ran into foul weather at the 42nd degree of north latitude and wheeled westward for the voyage home. The greatly lamented Phil Parrish has told the best story of what happened next. The English commander had a his torian aboard, one Parson Flet cher, who penned a description of weather and scene which, while cruelly maligning its sub ject, does suggest something of the costal climate and view at its worst in early fall. Such Language Parson Fletcher complained of "The most vile, thick and stinking foggs against which the sea prevailed nothing" and of mountain winds which "send abroad their frozen nimphes, to the infecting of the whole air with this unsufferable sharp nesse." "Hence comes the general squalidnesse and barennesse of the countrie," Parson Fletcher wrote; "hence comes it that in the midst of their summer the snow hardly departeth from their hills at all; hence come those thicke mists and most stinking fogges . . ." Certainly the parson-historian was looking on a shore north of the Humboldt, and this would be a forest coast. But the world's land was full of trees in those times. A northwest passage from the Atlantic to fair, sweet is lands of spice and gold and gems was the dream of Drake and many more. The Spaniards hoped to find the storied "King dom of Quivira" up the northern coast from Mexico, even as they had searched the northern Mex ico desert for the ' mythical 'Seven Cities of Cibola." '"The Northwest Passage" was the dream of many beside Drake. Golden Legend In the time of Captain Drake, Jacques Cartier was quoted: "They of Canada say that it it is a month's space to sail to a land where cinnamon and cloves are growing." And he agreed with "the excellent geo grapher, Geradus Mercator, 'that Monday, January 21, 1957 there is a straight and short way open into the West, even unto Cathay (by which) they shall gather the most noble merchandise of all the world." Jewels, silks, sandalwood and tea were meant never cedar or hemlock, Sitka spruce or Douglas fir. And there was the tale of a gray and weather beaten sailor who came ashore at Venice on an April day in 1596. Venice was in her glory still, a place of golden legend and bloody history. The old sailor met and conversed with Michael Locke, an English merchant and travel er. For years ealier, the old tar declared, he had voyaged to the South Seas in the service of Spain. The Viceroy of Mexico had given him command of a caravel and a pinnace to ex plore northward. After crossing the latitude of 47 degrees, the little vessels were steered cau tiously eastward for the coast. On this course they at last enter ed "a broad inlet." The tale ran on, a dream, a legend, of the imaginary "Northwest Passage." At the conclusion the ancient sailor remarked that he was commonly called Juan de Fuca. From this tall tale the "Straits of Juan de Fuca" won the place en the maps that it retains today. Plane Bomb Thread Blamed on Cranks Honolulu (U.R) Pclice and FBI agents in Honolulu, Seattle and three other West Coast cities blamed cranks to day for telephoned bomb threats that touched off a series of air liner searches during the week end. One threat was received in the FBI office in Honolulu early Sunday and another threat was telephoned to the United Air lines office in Seattle Saturday night. Seattle police held a 29-year-old mental patient they said ad mitted making two telephone calls to the United Airlines reservations desk at Seattle. De tectives said FBI agents and Un ited officials interviewed the un identified man. He was to be questioned by a psychiatrist who police said was familiar vith the ex-patient's case. l ' f " & v- 'L?1 3ifir eould fly. by flaejf soloed o freedom These two escaped -but 70 million others re main captive behind the Iron Curtain.

They said Nichols had admit ted holding up four Portland hotels, two in Salem and one in Vancouver.
