A MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Monday, May 12, 1958 the Family Council Editor'! note: Th Family Council eonsHts of a ud;e, a psychiatrist, three clergymen, a newspaper editor, a women's editor and two writers Earn article i a summary or an actual report. The FamiW Council does not rive aovice: it merely reports on problems that nave been dealt with by responsible agencies and counselors. Martha S. I don't want to name the baby after my i parents. 1 Mrs. r. G. She doesn't care about our family's feelings. ' Martha S. I have been married two years and am to become a mother in a few months. Both my parents died while I was still a child and I was brought up by one of my aunts. My problem is the naming of my baby. Under ordinary circumstances, I would name a girl for my mother and a boy for my father. But my mother-in-law is a very super stitious woman. She has begged me not to name a child after my parents because they had such short lives. She wants me to name him or her after long-lived members of her own family and my, hus band goes along-with her on this. My mother-in-law has been so good to me like a real mother and-1 want to please her, as well as my husband. I feel if my parents were alive they would understand and forgive me. I told both my mother's and father's families what I plan to do and they are in an uproar. Mrs. F. G. Naturally our family is furious. How can Martha be so callous toward her mother's memory that she is willing to forget her when she names her child? This mother-in-law of Mar tha's is a stupid, uneducated, superstitious woman. Why should she get her own way just because she has the nerve to make such a request? I have brought Martha up like my own child, but she doesn't have enough respect for me to listen to me in such an im portant matter. We all suspect Martha has been influenced by this wo man's superstitions. She is too Asthmatics! We give $5 trade-in allowance for your old neb (even if broken) on a new Breatheasy set precision pyrex nebulizer; bottle of inhalant; zipper carry ing case. Money-back guarantee. At Your Druggist intelligent a girl to accept such beliefs. . Yet she seems ready to bend herself any way at all to please her mother-in-law and her husband. She seems to have no thought for the feelings of our family, after all we have done for her. If she gives in to this thing she will regret it all her life. She must have some feeling for her parents. The Council Martha seems to have thought out her posi tion quite clearly. ' It is pos sible that she has been some what affected by her mother-in-law's superstition, but even if this is the case, she has a right to be guided by what ever feelings she has devel oped in this matter. Martha feels her own par ents would understand her at titude if they knew the prob lem and both her mother's and father's families ought to try to give her the same un derstanding she would get from her parents. They are being unfair in putting this unpleasant pressure on a mother-to-be. They are blight ing her happiness by putting an unnecessary burden of guilt on her. The naming of a baby really concerns only the mother and father, and if Martha and her husband have reached a satis factory agreement, nobody has the right to interfere or to question the basis of their decision.

WOU RIGHTS RRFEBVCtl American-Style Belgrade Supermarket Throws Housewives' Budgets for Loop Pflimlin Seen in Trouble in France Paris (W Right-wing French politicians under pres sure at home and from Al geria threatened today to up set Popular Republican Pierre Pflimlin's effort to form France's 27th postwar govern ment. Neo-Fascists shouting "Al geria is French" and "The Army to Power," staged a near riot against President Coty in Paris Sunday. French settlers in Algeria were fearful that investiture of Pflimlin might mean a swing toward a liberal policy toward the North African territory. Belgrade, Yugoslavia Yugoslav housewives are suf fering a capitalist complaint today: The city's new supermarket is knocking their budgets for a loop. A young wife who works in a government office said, "I rarely spend more than I allot to food when, I shop on the regular market. But this is the third time I've come to the supermarket and every single time I've gone over my budget. All that attractive food, the fruit, those choco lates and biscuits . . . they tempted me every time." The American-model mar ket opened its door on April 28, and promptly closed them again so it could handle the flood of customers. The days after the grand opening, wo men still were lining up in half-a-dozen queues, each 200 to 300, strong, waiting-patient-ly for their turn to enter the neon-lit paradise. Peasants Think It Wonderful The ' supermarket, believed the first in Communist East Europe, was so popular, au thorities kept it open through out the four-day "May Day" holidays. The old peasants from the villages have dubbed it, "the American Market," because it is so wonderful. They know the market was the star attraction of the U. S. exhibit at last September's Zagreb fair. They know self service is an American idea, and that the market was set up here by TJ. S. experts. But nothing has been able to per suade them that the colorful displays of food, and the mar ket itself, now belongs to "Vracar," the state-controlled import-export organization. Gets Name To the peasants, it's "The American Market," and likely to keep that name. It has become the sensation of Belgrade. ' Even after closing time, families stroll down "Tito street" to the center of town and look through the store windows to see the pyramids of canned foods, the. shelves of liquors and the mounds of fruits and cheeses. Prices are higher than in the open markets or regular shops, but the customers rec ognize that the quality of the merchandise has also been held high. ' Can't Stay Away , Despite the prices and the family budget, the Belgrade housewives haven't been able to stay away from the 30-by-90 foot store.

Indo Rebels Hope Attacks on Shipping Forces Action by UN By ROBERT UDICK United Press Correspondent Singapore OP) Indonesian rebels hope their attacks on foreign shipping may force the United Nations to act in the Indonesian civil war, ac cording to an informed source. The source said the attacks had a primary purpose of blunting any buildup of Ja karta forces close enough to attack Mendao, and a second ary purpose, as seen in the at tacks on foreign shipping, of extending the economic war fare against Jakarta's shaky foreign exchange position. But many observers here have wondered why the reb els, who identify their anti Communist leanings with those of the West, would seem ingly try to alienate maritime nations of the West by bomb ing and sinking their ships. U. N. Intervention Urged Rebel ' Prime Minister Sja fruddin has on several occa sions urged United Nations in tervention. Certainly, if bomb ing of foreign shipping con tinues, the United Nations or some other agency is likely to Embargo Lift Talk Denied by U. S. Washington (IP) Diplo matic officials said, they un derstand the United States would lift its embargo against arms shipments to the Indone sian Central Government as soon as the country's civil war ends. A state department spokes man disclosed Friday that U. S. and Indonesian representa tives discussed the matter ear lier this week. But he said the United States made "no commitments." The spokesman also dis closed that this country, act ing in the role "of a post of fice," relayed to Formosan au tnorities a complaint by Indo nesian President Sukarno that Chinese Nationalists were sup Divine nlanes, arms and am munition to the Indonesian ; rebels. 1 State Department Press Of- j ficer Lincoln White said the j United States also delivered! the Chinese reply to Jakarta, j He refused to elaborate. But ' other sources said Generalise simo Chiang Kai-shek's Na- tionalist government "cate- j gorically" denied the Indone sian charges. r Red China To Cut Japan Trade Ties Tokyo (IP) - Communist China was reported moving Saturday to break all trade relations with Japan in .retal iation to the refusal of the Japanese government to al low the Red Chinese flag to fly in Tokyo. At the same time, Japanese officials denounced as "out right interference" in Japan ese domestic affairs the at tack on prime minister No busuke Kishi by Red Chinese foreign minister Chen Yi in connection with the controversy. Chen accused Kishi of "sabotaging" a recently con cluded private trade agree ment between the two coun tries. He said if Kishi thought Red China had to trade with Japan, the Japanese prime minister "truly had the halhr cination of an idiot." be forced to pav direct interest. Indonesians on both sides of the present conflict recall the important role played by the United Nations in their- show down with the Dutch in the late 1940s. Correspondents covering revolutionary government de velopments in Padang and later Bukittinggi found strong feeling among some rebel leaders that a United Nations imposed "status quo" would in the final analysis help the rebel cause. It would allow them to carry on non-shooting economic warfare the kind of a war they originally hoped to fight. Until recent developments in eastern Indonesia, rebel leaders have shown opposi tion to taking steps that would do long-range damage to In donesian economics. This was seen in their avoidance of tak ing what seemed the logical and likely step of damaging Caltex, Stanvac and Shell in stallations on Sumatra after they passed into full Jakarta control. Oil Plants Escape Damage At one time, Sjafruddin warned that unless Caltex started putting Indonesian revenues into escrow ac counts, denying Jakarta the exchange, "We will take steps to shut down production." . But it was known that FORMER MACY HEAD DIES New Y o r k HP) Richard Weil, Jr., 50, former president of Macy's New York and for mer vice president of R. H. Macy & Co., the parent con cern, died Saturday of a heart attack. Banker Sjafruddin was keenly aware that such shutdowns, in the face of the present world wide over-supply of oil could do long-range damage to In donesia. It could, lost markets that might take some time to win back. An additional angle to the air attacks became clear when a statement was issued by the rebel government warning that "foreign ships would not be safe in Indonesian waters unless they carried clearances from the rebel government. If followed, this could give impetus to rebel efforts for long sought examples of "de facto" recognition. PLANER BLOX Clean Quick Delivery I.ledford Fuel Go. 1 Timely suggestion if you need money!

Insurgent Lt. Col. Ventje Sumual, broadcasting from his stronghold at Menado oh Cele bes Island, also urged loyal ist airmen who believe in freedom to desert to the rebels. He pointed out that 13 Indo nesian diplomats have given up posts in seven foreign countries to join the rebel cause. Sumual's list of diplomatic defectors included Col. Joop Warouw, former military at tache in Peiping, but made no mention of Col. Alex Kawila rang, who until recently held the same post in Washington. Starkweather May Take Stand Soon Lincoln, Neb. Wl Charles Starkweather is expected to take the stand Thursday or Friday in his trial for the murder of Robert Jensen, 17. The state breezed through more than half of its 28 wit nesses in two days of testi mony, and County Attorney Elmer Scheele indicated the prosecution could wind up its case by Wednesday.
