No, little Caroline does not Gun Battle Leads To Arrest of Two Empire, Ore., Men The Dalles (U.R) A run ning gun battle with The Dalles police led to the arrest and cap ture of two Empire, Ore., men on charges of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill Saturday. Police identified the pair as Ernest Ieroy Smith, 19, and Ce cil Roger Oakes, 21. The Dalles Police Lt. Robert Brower sajd he noticed the men in a car moving slowly through a downtown street and pulled along side them In a patrol car to investigate. He said Smith opened fire with a P-38 German pistol, pumping five shots at the police vehicle. Brower returned the fire and gave chase. Crash off Road At the east edje of town, the Empire men crashed off the road and ran into the brush. City pa trolman Roy Ford who was with Brower went up the highway on foot, posing as a hitchhiker. He took Smith into custody a short time later when he came out of the brujsh onto the highway. City police and state officers, meantime, chased Oakes into the railroad yard at the city limits and captured him. Policertjaid the men were driv ing a 1M9 Buick convertible which was reported stolen in Portland Friday. It was regis tered to Catherine Klotzbeacher of Portland. Smith told police he had stol en the gun from a man at Em- pore. In the running gun battle, the police car's tires were shot out and the rear of the other car was hit. suck her thumb; not yet, any way. She certainly does not suck all her fingers, as some monster suggested. Has she any likes and dis likes? Yes, she hates hats. If I wear one near her, she has one of her very irate crying spells. She also has a prejudice against her father's camera. When he wants to photograph her, which is often, he must do it surreptitiously. Coos for Baths On the other hand she loves her bath, and begins to coo when she sees nurse Margaret Stahl or me preparing it. Apart from hats and cameras, she only cries when she is hun gry and waiting for her feed. She sleeps wonderfully all night from about 9:30, after her last evening meal, until her "break fast at six. She is fed six times a day at three-hour intervals. Apart from the natural milk I am happy to be able to give her, she has a little supplementary powdered milk, being a healthy and hun gry child, thank God. Aa she gets older she is o',2 weeks this week end I think she looks more and more like the Prince, particularly the up per part of her face. She hag dark blue eyes, like Rainier, much darker than mine, and his broad forehead. Her mouth is said to be like mine. She has a lovely complexion, ab solutely without blemish, and light brown hair. Receives Many Toys And they say she is a very pretty child, but how should I know? Even our Monaco weather is not good enough for her to have a daily outing in the grounds; but often the sun is warm enough for Margaret Stahl or myself to take her for a ride in the lovely pram, with its dark blue hood, which Princess Char lotte, Rainier's mother, seat her from Paris. Many many gifts are coming in. and we still get .200 to 400 letters a day. On the second day after the birth it was 7,000. Of course, we can only answer them bit by bit. Many Dolls Toys and dolls? Well, there are so many they can't possibly all go in the nursery at one time. The biggest is an enormous ted dy bear, sent her by the offi cers and men of an American submarine stationed in the har bor when she was born. It will scarcely go in the door. Finally, I'll tell you the reason why both the Prince and I really wanted our first child to be a girl. If we have a boy later on he will become the heir to the prin cipality; but he will never be more important or dearer to us than the present heir, our first born, Caroline. The years 1930-1940 saw ro mance skid to a new low in the U.S.A. And when boy did dare to meet girl in ways that led to marriage the growing of a family was often postponed for better days. There were fewer Ameri can babies born in that period than in any ten years since 1850-1860 when an economic depression had also clouded the country. The 1930s saw many young couples building "apart ment cottages." with one bed room and at -times making homes out of garages. Four-room homes were featured on "low cost" housing projects. Births boomed again in the war years. The minimum house for newlyweds was the five roomer. Then "three bedrooms" became a common specification laid down by the budding home makers of the post-war years, while the young marrieds of the 1940-1950 decade began to pack two, three and four little people into the single bedroom of their small home of the 1930s. Now the war and post-war babies are big boys and girls. They demand more rooms one apiece. "Big. Old Houses . . ." The editors of "The American Legion Magazine" have been awake to the need of a growing home for the growing family of it relates to the veterans of World War II. A couple of years ago, the magazine carried an in formative article on "expand ing" the homes bought by vet erans of World War II. A later issue of the Legion's magazine contained an equally valuable report on "When Is an Old House a Bargain?" The author, Robert Scharff, put it this way: "After World War II thou sands of ex-GIs bought new minimum houses . . . Several children later, these same dream homes offer a serious space problem. Those who have homes The Family Council Editor's note: Tha Family Council consists of a Judge, a 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 merely reports on problems tbat have been dealt with by responsible agencies and counselors. BIG BANG IN CHICAGO Chicago (U.R) Chicago celebrated its 120th birthday to day with a bang. A composite battery from the 33rd division artillery. Illinois National Guard fired a 120-gun salute. Mrs. D. B. I won't be driven away by bigoted neighbors. Mr. D. B. I don't want to make martyrs of the children. Mrs. D. B. My husband and I have two children, aged 9 and 7. We bought a house in a nice suburban section a few years ago and have been quite com fortable until recently. Not long ago my 9-year-old boy brought home from school a little friend of a different race. This boy was a lovely child and I was glad to entertain him In my home. The following day, however, one of the women in the neighborhood called on me and said she had heard about my child palling around with this boy and told me I should put a stop to it. She said it was the responsibility of each par ent to see to it that the chil dren do not cross racial lines socially in an area as racially mixed as ours. I called her the bigot that she is and told her I would enter tain any nice child in my home, regardless of race. Since then I've discovered that a kind of boycott against me and the chil dren has developed in the neigh borhood. My husband has been so upset about it that he even wants to move away. I feel that would be cowardly. I won't be driven away by bigoted neigh bors. Mr. D. B. Bigotry has always been as disgusting to me as it gIa2) Ranch Wagon tat your Ford Dealerfe now Still -tfi lowest priced wagons! o '57 Ford wagon prices start ssesesled dei. price tlr tae aodra imneate delivery oo nost models. is to my wife, but I don't feel that I want to make martyrs of my children in this cause. Our son has suffered a great deal from the fact that some of his old friends have shunned him and called him names. I am afraid of more serious trouble. I want my children to stand up for what is right, but I would hate to see them get hurt because we have different ideas from those of our neighbors. I would hate to sell our home since I am sure we can't do nearly as well from an economic point of view in a different neighborhood. Also, this house is within very convenient dis tance of my office. Besides, it makes me sick to have to knuckle under to people with these un-American attitudes. Just the same, we have to think of the children. We are putting them through a terrible experi ence. I feel that my wife was a bit too violent in her language to ward the woman who visited her. True, this woman had a lot of nerve, but there was no sense in exciting her any more than necessary. The Council Mr. D. B. is probably on the right track when he feels that his wife was in some measure responsible for creating an acute situation. She probably poured gasoline on a small flame with her violent language. This bigoted woman may possibly have been toned down a bit by gentle handling and a quietly firm stand. Mrs. D. B. could have simply stated she disagreed with her neighbor, and pointed out that her child's friend was such a fine boy she could hardly find it In her-conscience to bar him from her home. Calling names didn't help. It is also possible that the D. B.'s are exaggerating the "boycott" in their neighborhood. It is unlikely that the bigoted troublemaker has such an over whelming influence. They should try to see what is going on with as much objectivity as possible and decide whether or not their own self-righteousness causes them to enlarge minor and isolated incidents. They should teach their chil dren to stand up for their right to make friends with whomever they please without taking on a violently self-righteous attitude, which, will only arouse other children to the fun of persecut ing them. They will not become martyrs if they do not believe themselves to be martyrs. Mr. and Mrs. D. B. should realize that the issue of racial lines and bigotry can arise in almost any neighborhood. They can find a way of handling it that enables them to stand up for their principles and to live peaceably with others. Their at titude is not so unique that they can't find plenty of friendly sympathy and agreement. (Copyright 1957. General Features Corp.) with real expansion possibilities have no worries. But for the others, the onlyi answer is a bigger house. If your budget per mits, the best solution is a larg er new house. But, if it doesn't, your only hope is in a big, old house. For here, a buyer usually will get the most space for his dollar . . ." And here, of course, as Mr. Scharff points out in detail, the buyer can likewise lose his dol lar as easily as at a lumber convention poker game. Such articles demonstrate that the family man who needs more space for his growing brood has a problem that calls for the serv ices of an educated expert in the profession of diagnosing family housing "cases" and prescribing for them. This specialist is the architect. More than 50 per cent of the professional services rendered to clients by members of the American Institute of Architects are on design and supervision of home construction new homes, and programs of home expan sion and remodeling. The retail lumber dealer and the building contractor are also excellent counselors on the individual's building problems, but the architect is a specialist who is technically trained for building service on individual circum stances and needs. With a lumber house, it is comparatively simple to keep the home growing, right along with the growing family at least in most cases. The family that is yet young always wants the "larger new house'4 for more space and better living. The "big, old house" suggests a mul titude of risks. The first step in any case, is to ask an architect. Football Player Saves Two Children Seattle (U.R) A Klamath Falls, Ore., football player at the University of Washington was credited Friday with saving the lives of two children when he caught them as they were tossed from the window of a burning home. Jim Dogherty, a center on the Husky football team, ran to the window and called to a 12-year-old girl to drop her 13-months-old brother to him, 15 feet be low. The girl did. then followed the baby herself into the arms of Dogherty.
