Tenth Annual Emmy Awards Planned For Tuesday Night By VERNON SCOTT United Press Correspondent Hollywood HP Cowboys will sing, comedians will make serious speeches and glamour girls will vie for golden statuettes Tuesday night when television's 10th annual Emmy awards ' are beamed to televiewers. Taking a page from the movie's Oscar blowout last month, video will hurl as many of its stars as possible into the 90-minute wingding. One big difference between the two shows: Oscar was a free man. Emmy is a kept woman she's got a sponsor! Two of the biggest stars in TV's brief history, , Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, won't be seen as a result. These mainstays were nixed because of sponsorship conflict. Other big names were scratched for the same reason. On the brighter side, Emmy will ape Oscar in an attempt to entertain viewers by splicing presentation of awards with song, dance and comedy routies. Included is a 10-year cavalcade harking back to 1946. Goebel Will Help Handing out Emmys to the best performers and techni cians will be Polly Bergen, Gisele MacKenzie, Milton Berle, Arlene Francis, Ida Lu- pino, George Gobel, Red But tons, Jack Benny and Loretta Young. Featured in the music de partment is a quartette com posed of comic Louis Nye, Misses Bergen and MacKinzie and James Garner TV's Bert Maverick. Phil Silvers is scheduled to emcee the New York seg ments of the vacuum tube bash with Danny Thomas cracking the whip from tinsel town. Biggest pre-show hassle in volves the well- received "Annie Get Your Gun" spec tacular starring Many Martin The Academy of TV Arts and Sciences ruled it ineligible for best show honors because it originally was produced for the stage rather than for tele vision. Controversy Raged Controversy also raged over mish - mash categories which lump together all man ner of dissimilar performers. Most confusing of all is the Emmy for: "Best continuing performance by a comedian, singer, host, dancer, emcee, announcer, narrator, panelist, or any person who plays him self. Nominated are Steve Allen, Jack Benny, Sid Cae sar, Perry Como and Jack Paar. Favorites in early straw polls are: Perry Como and Dinah Shore in the catchall catego ries; best actor James Ar ness; best actress Ida Lu p'ino; best dramatic series "Gunsmoke."

The Family Council Editor's note: Tha Family Council consists of a Judge, a psychiatrist, cnree 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 that have been dealt with by responsible agencies and counselors. Rose R. I would be afraid to tell my mother. Dora M. She's such a coward. Rose R. My friend Dora and I are two gins in our mid-20s. We go out on double dates together very often and hang out with the same crowd. We have known a couple of boys for several months We ve gone out with them and have had very good times and they have behaved like perfect gentlemen. Now, these fellows share an apartment together and have asked us to come up and see their place and have dinner with them there. don't think that would be at all proper and I would be afraid to tell my mother about it, but Dora is furious at me because she wants to go, but won't go alone. uora m. Kose is such a coward! Her mother is the worst prude and she thinks that anything she can't tell her mother must be wrong As a matter of fact, I think it's downright rude to turn these fellows down. They have been so nice to us, it is a shame to treat them as if they were ordinary wolves or something. They know the kind of girls we are and they have told us that they are simply eager to have us see their place and sample their cooking. .These fellows are really the domestic type. They are far from home and say they miss feminine company around the place. What's the harm? The Council: Sorry, Dora, we can't give you the green light on this one. Rose's mother may be a prude, but she wouldn't have to be much of one to object to this dinner party. We suspect that these young men are capable of be ing perfect gentlemen at some times and the reverse at oth ers. We think it is possible that if they get a flat "sorry, no" to their invitation they will fade away. If they don't fade away and keep taking the girls out and showing a strong interest in them, we suspect that they may find a way out of their unhappy situation the lack of feminine company in their home. They may begin to think of the possibility of marriage. It is an institution especially contrived to take care of such cases. We suspect that Dora is be ing a little dishonest with herself and that she is a bit of a tease. She is too old to be so naive as to think the situation is quite as simple as she has outlined. She seems to relish the possibility of an out-of-the-ordinary adventure within bounds, of course. She insists upon taking Rose along for protection. That's how sure she is of her young men friends' (Copyright, 1958, General Features Corp.) What Is The Law? This column is prepared as a public service by the College of Law, Willamette University, Salem, to explain basic legal principles, not to provide legal advice. The reader is cautioned not to apply these cases to his own problems, without an attorney's 'advice, for differing facts may change the outcome. -i ! MAIL TRIBUNE, MedW, Oregon, Monday,' April 14, 19S8 7 How Land Titles Are Acquired Without Cost In 1945 neighbors Bob Ames and Dick Budd constructed a picket fence between their homes. Shrubs and flowers were planted on either side of it and both parties treated the fence as the property line. In 1957, 12 years later, Ames sold his house and lot to Roy Curtis. When Curtis decided to enlarge his new home, he had a land survey made which revealed that the fence was on l?udd's land five feet from the property line de scribed in the deeds. Curtis immediately started legal proceedings to determine who owned the five-foot 'strip and the court held that it be longed to him. In another part of Oregon, Jim Davis bought a small tract of unimproved land. Several months later he moved to Alaska where he has live for 12 years. During his absence and without his permission, Jake Ellis con structed and has lived in a cabin on Davis land. If owner- Space Boundaries Considered Unlikely Columbus, Ohio (IP) Two "space lawyers" agreed it will be impossible to fix bound aries in outer space once hu man beings start flying like Buck Rogers around the moon. Two law authorities, Profs. Leon Lipson of the Yale Law school and Nicholas De B. JCatzenbach of the University of Chicago Law school, gave their opinions at a symposium on the "Law of Outer Space" at Ohio State university here. The symposium, sponsored by the Ohio State University College of Law and Graduate school, was scheduled as a regional meeting of the Amer ican Society of International Law. Lipson said it would be im possible to designate imager- ary curtains vertically pro jected from national borders on earth in an effort to fix boundaries in space. Instead, he suggested hori zontal sheets be placed at stated altitudes at the earth's surface. "Everything under the sheet would be air space," he said, "in which the rules of ex clusive sovereignty would continue to prevail in nation al compartments confined to the border curtains; every thing over the sheet would be 'free' for all nations." Difficult to Envision Katzenbach agreed, saying "one must concede that it must be difficult even for Texans to envision the sov ereignty of Texas stretching to the ends of the universe." However, they both thought some sort of space law was necessary, because "it remains a worldly political structure however high we go." Katzenbach said one fairly immediate problem would be the problem of "junk in space." "The junk in space prob lem has potential military as well as scientific significance, since the launching of many satellite could, in fact, create an iron curtain above us," he said. - - He explained too many sat ellites could create problems with tracking and plotting satellites courses and could cause interference with elec tronic communication, "mak ing it impossible for us to de tect the launching of a guid ed missile attack upon the United States." "This argues for an inter national agency ... which would make it even more dif ficult for nations to interfere with scientific aspirations." FORMER EDITOR DIES Milwaukee (IP) George Lounsbury, 85, former chief editorial writer for the Mil waukee Sentinel and Grand Master of Wisconsin's Masons, died Saturday at South View home. Lounsbury, born in Mound City, 111., came to Milwaukee in 1903. He was named editor of the Sentinel in 1921 and until 1952 served as the newspaper's chief edi torial writer. ship were contested today, the court would probably hold that the land belongs to Ellis. 'Adverse Possession' Ames and Ellis have ac quired land by "adverse pos session." This law is based on the premise that an owner who "sleeps" on his rights for a long period (10 years or longer) should not be protect ed. It is also designed to pro tect purchasers. When a per son like Curtis buys real es tate, he should be able to rely on the appearance of his land. Most purchasers are not ex perts on legal descriptions and should not be required to bear the cost of the survey. The adverse possession law settles land1 disputes in favor of the one who has demon strated the most interest in the land, and it prevents old claims from "clouding" a title. If an. Oregon landowner has possessed land for more than 10 years he can be rea sonably certain that his title is clear. Must Utilize Land To acquire title by adverse possession, a person not hav ing the owner's permission must utilize the land in some way, although he does not have to live on it. Maintain ing a garden or grazing ani mals on a lot may be suffi cient to acquire title. A per son is not an "adverse pos sessor" if he has permission to be on the land, and there fore a tenant or licensee does not adversely possess land. The adverse possession law concerns the rights of a per son who makes use of anoth er man's property for a long period of time without the ex pressed approval or disappro val of the owner. Indo Loyalist Fleet Massing Singapore (IP) An Indo nesian loyalist invasion fleet was reported massing today for an attack on the rebel "heartland" in west central Sumatra. Officials of the Ja karta regime predicted that the revolt will be crushed "this week-" United Press correspondent Wendell Merick reported from Bukittingi that a loya list destroyer and four corvet tes the largest naval force assembled so far in the re volt appeared off Sumatra's west coast over the week end. Rebel leaders believe the warships will be used to "soften up" insurgent de fenses for amphibious forces which are expected to land at dawn Tuesday. The rebels believe the loya lists may drop as many as 400 paratroops on the Padang ah field to pave the way for a seaborne force including four battalions of infantry. m 'XO U There's Never a HOT WATER problem m a home with a QUICK RECOVERY ELECTRIC WATER HEATER the komemaker can wash a load of clothes everv hour never run out of hot water ...
