I S MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford", Oregon, Friday, September 12. 1958 I Serious Trouble Not New for Fishers, Declare Hollywood - IITD - It takes three to make a triangle-and that is the case with Debbie Reynolds, Eddie Fisher and Elizabeth Taylor. Three years ago this month Eddie and Debbie were mar ried, climaxing a year-long off-again-on-again courtship, Now they are separated fol lowing a melodramatic -wing ding that reads like a movie script. As things stand now Deb bie hopes to salvage the mar riage, saying she is very much in love with Fisher and that they never had been happier than during the past year, Sproul Murder Trial Scheduled To Go To Jury Canyon City-(UPD-The week long murder trial of Robert Sproul, 44-year-old cattleman, for the gun duel slaying of his brother-in-law was to go to the jury of seven women and five men today. The defense rested its case late Thursday and summa tions to the jury were to fol low brief rebuttal testimony from state witnesses today. Sproul is accused of shoot lng to death Harland (Link) Williams June 21 as a climax to a long dispute over a road The defendant took the stand Thursday for the sec ond day in a row and said he wanted to take his quarrel with Williams to court but that Williams' "only law was a gun." Mrs. Mildred Allen of John Day, a sister of Williams, tes tified Thursday of a meetmg with her brother before the shooting. She said she asked him: "Harland, you're my brother nd I love you, and I don't want a brother of mine to kill someone. Would you really and truly kill someone?" . She said he replied, "Yes, I would, if they come through that gate." She said he did not mention Sproul by name. Mrs. Allen said she cried as she pleaded with Williams after hearing reports the two men planned to meet with guns the next day. She said she also tried to talk Sproul out of keeping a showndown date but that he said: "I have . to face Harland somewhere, sometime and I might as well go in the morning." Luscious Liz says the mar riage was unhapy and she was not responsible for break ing it up. Eddie isn't talking. But insiders know the Fisher family has had serious problems from the very be ginning. Rumors of Divorc Their tiffs were frequent, Eddie is a happy-go-lucky, carefree type looking for a good time. Debbie, more in terested in home-making than a career, is careful with money and possessive of her singer-husband. Divorce was rumored little more than a year ago, but the announcement Debbie was expecting a second child brought the couple together again. Career trouble was not the basis for their marital prob lems, although Eddie hasn't had a hit record in several years, and Debbie, not a big time singer, scored a bulls- eye with her recording of "Tammy" last year. Eddie was the star of the family, bringing in more than a mil lion dolalrs a year with his TV show, personal appear ances and night club acts. On Sept. 26, 1955, the pair was married at Grossinger's resort in New York, the scene of Eddie's first success, and the script read, "And they lived happily every after. Eddie Plays Cupid Eddie moved his video show to Hollywood. And "the nation's ideal young married couple" starred in a flop movie titled "Bundle of Joy." Then the first of their two children, Carrie, now 2, ar rived. It was then that Eddie and the late Mike Todd became fast friends. Fisher was some thing of a straight man for the dynamic producer and idolized him.' He was the go- between when Todd and Liz were having spats before their marriage. On one occasion, when Todd and Liz were quarreling and threatening to forego their marriage, Eddie brought the actress to Todd s house at 3 a.m. for a reconciliation. While Eddie played cupid Debbie stayed home alone. Debbie was alone a great deal during the next year while Eddie capered around with Mr. and Mrs. Todd. Friends thought of Eddie as a playboy and party-goer. He became a bon vivant who lived it up. He switched from soft drinks to martinis: Debbie, on the other hand. became more and more a homebody.

The dilemma arose at a Civil Aeronautics Board hear ing called to consider peti tions by American Airlines and Northwest Orient Air lines for permission to fly San Francisco-New York non-stop. Would Be Eliminated Charles R. Speers, a senior vice president of American, summed it up thus: "If we are forced to make a stop en route between these two cities after the jets are put into operation we will be virtually eliminated from that market." Speers explained that the trend already is toward un interrupted cross - country flights. He said that when the jets come in early next year with their 5V hour coast to coast schedules "most people will insist on making the trip in one jump." United Air Lines and Trans World Airlines, who present ly have CAB authority to fly between San Francisco and New York without stopping, are opposing American and Northwest in a high-pressure legal battle before the board. Won't Tolerate Stops Speers said that after the nation gets used to having trans-continental jet service "the average person won't tolerate even one stop." American says it will be ready to inaugurate daily jet service next January and TWA plan to follow suit short ly after. Speers talked in terms of businessmen leaving New York at 9 o'clock in the morn ing, attending a meeting in San Francisco in the early afternoon and being back The country will be shrunk by 40 per cent after the jets come in, he said.
