Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher, who be gan an "ideal" marriage three years ago, finally broke up in a blaze of publicity which also in volved Liz Taylor. And Sir Winston and Lady Churchill quietly celebrated the 50th anniversary of a marriage which, in 1908, was given "little chance." . - "117HAT went wrong with the "ideal" marriage? " What went right with the one given "little chance" of success? First of all let us grant that Hollywood mar riages are difficult enough to make last. They are surrounded by an aura of hero-worship and fandom in an industry which thrives on vast reams of publicity. When every, spat and reconciliation is the meat for gossip columnists; when the partners are thrown with other men and women, most of them glamorous, attractive and personable ; when the marriage is made in surroundings which have a set of moral values which seem warped to the ordinary observer in such a case it is difficult enough to retain a balanced outlook on the sacred institution of matrimony. COME Hollywoodites have managed it. The late Ronald Coleman and his wife were happily wedded for many years. Jimmy Stewart and his wife appear to be making a notable suc cess of their marriage. Mr. and Mrs. Gary Coop er, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Benny, Mr. and Mrs. George Bums, and quite a few other members of the mo vie colony lead married lives which are stable and enviable. Others have been less fortunate (if that is the word) in resisting the combination of pres sures wThich make marriage in Hollywood seem almost a travesty of what it should be. , 'IIT'HAT is it that makes a successful marriage? What is the principal ingredient which per mitted Sir Winston and his wifp "PWrmV tn live for half a. century pei-mniea me great man to say, "We were mar ried and lived happily ever after"? There are many things necessary to happy marriage, and we will not venture into the role of a family counselor and try to enumerate them. But it does seem to us that the chief nnp is mu tual respect respect for '"uivmudj, wiui muiviuuai ueeas ana an in dividual role. Lady Churchill respected her husband, and the intense, sometimes almost overpowering, de mands made on him in his role as a public figure. And Sir -Winston respected his wife, and shower ed upon her the thoughtf ulness, the courtesies, the attention to which he knew she was entitled. . flTHOUT mutual respect, a marriage is noth- With it, there is a basis ment, -for accommodation of all the petty, nag ging disharmonies which have wrecked more marriages than all the "romantic triangles" in history.

Metric System We doubt that this countiy, in the foreseeable future, will adopt the logical metric system, any more than it will adopt a logical calendar. There's just too much time, money and effort as well as sentimental attachment tied up in the existing haphazard systems of linear meas urement. ' Inches, feet, yards, rods, chains and miles follow no particular logical pattern. They simply "grew" from a variety of sources. But they are so imbedded in common usage and acceptance that to change now to centimeters, meters, and kilometers would be a difficult thing to do. rESPITE the difficulties, Japan is making a change to the metric system, effective Oct. 1. The government is taking it seriously, too, and will levy a fine of 50,000 yen ($138.89) on those who insist upon using the old system after that date. The difficulties in Japan, an ancient land, will be f ormidable, probably more so than they would be in this- nation. Think of all the legal descriptions, the deeds, maps, plats, and other official documents which would either have to be changed, or at any rate converted into the new measurements if and when they became active again. TTHE same applies to weights the use of grams and kilograms instead of ounces and pounds and liquid measure the use of liters instead of quarts and so on. The Oregon Statesman comments that "We think of ourselves as a young country, and jet we are so set in our ways we refuse to consider seriously conversion to a simpler system of mea surements . . . Perhaps our aversion to change is a measure of our middle-aged spread." The reluctance, however, is probably more apathy and inertia than anything else. It's just that we haven't sufficient motivation to make the effort to change. E.A. in harmony, and which the marriage partner as for growth, for adjust But given mutual respect, 1-1 A u.a. Dennis the Menace Y0U GOT -ANYTHING THAT WILL GRXV HAIR ON A WHITE RTS TAIL?' Matter of Fact , josePh aiSoP ARTILLERY BARS THE DOOR Tainan, Formosa The best commentary on the Presi dents' great speech that this reporter can offer must be gin with a p r etty unim p o r t ant per sonal experi ence. At. 2:30 a.m. Satu r day, we - set off for Que rn o y, Keyes jos-ph aisop Beech of "The. Chicago Daily . News," Jim Bell of "Time" and a mixed bag of others motivated by the good old rule: "Better go and have a look." . It was one of those wartime departures that make you feel your age haste and horribly early rising at the outset; dis tribution of tin hats and other mild drama at the airport; and then an interminable, weary wait followed by a bumpy takeoff in pitch dark ness, in a raddled old C-46 that looked like a plain, dumpy woman whom the years have dealt with un kindly. All the same, we were cheerful at takeoff and throughout the ' long flight across the Formosa Strait. The word , at Taipei, wrong as the word in all higher headquarters, was that the Communist gunners were letting the airstrip on the Quemoy Beach pretty much alone. . SO IT WAS a sharp surprise when the lanky veteran Chinese captain came back from the cockpit, a few min utes before our landing time, to tell us we had been or dered to turn back. All the Quemoy beaches, he said, had been under heavy fire for the last 24 hours. Our des tined beach was a honeycomb of shellholes, and Quemoy ground control guessed that 7,000 round had landed there in the past hour. We all felt the mixed dis appointment and relief that is best summed up by- the old story of the respectable, mid Nineteenth Century Lady Jer sey. Staying once in a remote district in North England, she found she had to drive 12 miles to the small country church. When the big carri age arrived, there was no service. So Lady Jersey or dered the footman to leave her calling card under the church door, and directed the carriage homewards with the remark: "Well, children, at least we've done the civil thing." HERE at Tainan, the last minute effort to beef up the Chinese Air Force has abruptly increased the Ameri can contingent" from 100 to 500 men. Hence facilities are a bit strained. Yet the clear eyed C-46-load was received with the customary hospital ity of American soldiers in wartime. Coffee, strong and hot and by the gallon, is a remarkable restorative, even when you are feeling empty and let down and all too con scious of no sleep, no shave and no accomplishment. After the coffee, came an other interminable wait, in this case to hear whether we could try Quemoy again or must go back to Taipei. (The wait is still going on as these words are written, but the captain says the '. betting is ninety-nine to one on Taipei, since the artillery barrage on the Quemoy beaches is appar ently continuing.) But this wait has not been so weary, because the C-46-load is pretty well composed of veterans. So here, in- the idle talk of the men waiting on the dusty airstrip, we have had bloody Tarawa and bloody Iwo Jima those place names so glory-gilded, that they all but dazzle to this day. We have had the Normandy t ' . i ilk V beaches, and Bastogne, and the story of a brash Ameri can reporter who tried to make the exceptionally tough but dignified Chinese com mander on Quemoy talk like Gen. MacAuliffe. (Chinese charged with high missions just do not say "nuts" under any circumstances.) YlfE ' HAVE -had the first ' chancy months in Korea, and the briUiant landing at Inchon, and what came after. "By god, there was an army!" said one good judge of the battle - hardened men who were not allowed to win in the end. From an American pilot on training duty here, we have had the story of the superb success of the Chinese Na tionalist pilots, fighting the Communist MIG - 17's with their obsolescent F-86's with the tactics Chennault invent ed for.P-40's against Zeroes. And we have had other tales, all of them stirring, all of them comforting, except for the unheroic and macabre story of American policy in China in wartime, contributed by this reporter. On the surface, it has been a wasted day following an aborted mission. But has this day been really wasted? . NOT altogether, is the an swer. In the first place, the failure of the mission re vealed the key problem out here-the blockade of Quemoy, which is not a simple naval blockade but a very rough artillery blockade. The Chi nese Nationalists, who are enormously out-gunned, can not break this artillery block ade. If Secretary Dulles can not secure a cease-fire by diplomacy, President Eisen hower will almost surely have to make a hard choice. He will either have to break this blockade with American pow er or accept failure in this final test of A m e r i c a's strength of will, which he has so nobly expressed. And this day has not been wasted in another way, too. Often in the past, one has wanted to write the President, "Mr. President, how much you can do, if you Will only use" your powers and the pow er of your office!" But the talk on the airstrip has sug gested another letter, "Mr. President, how much the country that you lead can do, if you will only summon up its powers!"

Filmland Triangle Action Delayed Hollywood-dJPD-Troubles of Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher, faithfully recorded in thousands of words over a hec tic week were little more than an "ahem" today, in filmland conversation. The three in the domestic drama, Debbie, Eddie and lovely Elizabeth Taylor weren't talking, and action on the legal front was being de layed to "give the case a rest." Debbie, 26, the mother of two, was preparing for the start of a movie later this month. Fisher was rehearsing his television program and Miss Taylor was in seclusion. One week after Fisher had returned from New York dates with Liz, he and Miss Reynolds had ridden out a crest of publicity, which chronicled their separation and decision to get a divorce. "This case is going to be at rest for quite a while," said attorney Frank B. Belcher, representing Debbie. "There's going to be nothing doing on it for quite a period.

To the Editor: The following letter has been sent to Gov. Robert Holmes: Dear Governor Holmes: I have been following discus sions in the papers about a considerable, part of the Na tional Guard being required to drill on Sunday twice a month. These men signed up for one evening drill of two hours a week and are now being required to drill more than twice as much time, for the same pay. I enclose a clipping from the Medford Mail Tribune. Captain Reibe, commander of 'A' Company in Medford, wrote an article attempting to whitewash the Sunday drill. The head of the Army Re serve called him to account for misrepresenting the facts, and reminding everyone that a young man can fulfill his military obligation just as well and much easier in the Army Reserve. The Army re serve still has its regular weekly evening driU. It seems to me that there has been a definite movement in the past year or two to crowd out the National Guard and let the Army Reserve take its place. I have it on what should be good authori ty that when money was ap propriated for National Guard training camp,- there was less than half enough money pro vided to pay for six months training for enough recruits to keep the Guard up to auth orized strength. The Guard is being reorganized and some units soon will be eliminated entirely. Now the Guardsmen have to put in 19 hours a month at drills, and give up half of their Sundays. (I know they say 8 hours a Sunday, but the men are ordered to report at 7:30 a.m. and not dismissed until . 5 p.m. or later.) But what about the men who haven't joined either yet? Will anyone join the Guards from now on if he can get just the same deal from the Reserves for less than half the time expended? What about the men whose enlist ments are expiring? Will they re-enlist in the Guards, or join the Army Reserve? Then, when the National Guard has dwindled in number until it is too small to exist as a mili tary organization, what will the State of Oregon do for a military force? The National Guard of Oregon is not just a branch of the U.S. Army. It is our State's own and only fighting force, the only body of men larger than the State Police which any Governor has at his disposal in case of need. I believe you should do everything in your power to stop its being crowded out of existence. Thelma M. Taylor 166 Nob Hill st. Ashland On "Photo Quia" To the Editor: It has been quite interesting to look at those old-time pictures in your Photo Quiz series. However, am surprised at some of th3 identifications which have been' awarded as correct, but which, as a matter of fact, were decidedly not correct. Evidently your judges were not old-time residents. For instance, in the No. 6 (final) Photo Quiz series, pic ture No. 10, the building in the right foreground is not the R.R.V.R.R. depot, as stat ed, but is the "Rogue River Nursery" (horticulture stock) and the building at the left background, behind the loco motive, is not the S. P. depot, as stated, but is the home of the Medford Commercial club, and exhibit building, the de pot was a block north and in its present location. i Also, picture No. 4 of this same series, the building with the bay window shown behind Mr. Beck entering his private dray, was not Swem's gift shop, at that time, but was in Desire rent Formosa crisis primarily to get the stalled U.S.-Com-munist China talks going again. If this was the case, the Communists have managed to "shoot" their way to at least one conference table for the Americans and Chinese Communists reopened nego tiations in Warsaw Monday. Few people think the Chin ese Communists are going to be satisfied with the Warsaw level talks. They are going to want more. What they real ly want, many believe, is to be accepted as equals by the rest of the world. Wants Respectability "In his old age, Mao Tze Tung wants respectability," a Western diplomat observed Ed Wilkinson's meat market. No. 5 Photo Quiz picture No. 9 is not a picture of the Nash hotel nor even a picture of Medford. No. 1 Photo Quiz, building with belfry is not the S. O. college first building, but could be the first building of the Ashland Normal school, and their later building now housing the S. O. college, where it first opened its doors many years later. No. 4 Photo Quiz the pic ture of A. S. Bliton, was when he was editor of the ."Med ford Mail." It has always been by that name, never Southern I Oregon Mail. I was a typeset ter for the paper around that time. Was looking forward to more pictures being shown. Hope you are not too "huffed" to print this. Henrietta Medynski 316 North Central ave. Medford. (Editor's note: Far from be ing "huffed," we greatly ap preciate the interest aroused by the old-time pictures print ed in the Mail Tribune's "Pho to Quiz." It was a difficult job to assemble the pictures and to provide correct identi fications, for in many cases there was disagreement, even among the "old timers"" who lived in the city at the time. We should point out to our correspondent that the quiz picture were multiple-choice, with some wrong identifica tions deliberately included under the pictures. As for the answers, we are convinced of the accuracy of each, on the basis of "positive" identifica tion by people who are in a position to know.) Rotary Suit Sale To the Editor: We wish to express our sincere gratitude to your staff for your kind assistance with the Medford Rotary Suit Sale. Without your help I am sure the sale would not have been the success it was. Many thanks. K. W. Cook, Medford Rotary club. Coffee To the Editor: Mail from a scientist friend on safari in Ethopia recalls writer's own adventures in coffee lands: Orizaba, Guatemala, Brazil, yesteryear Java, also Somali land, whence said professor writes. ' It was in that part of Afri ca we heard the folkstory of the origin of coffee drinking. An illiterate shepherd had trouble with his flock. They were restless, night after night. He consulted a Coptic priest. Latter said: "Bring me samples of their food plants." All were of one kind-the chap arral which is wild coffee. The priest brewed a drink of the berries and leaves. Then he slept poorly. He advised the shepherd to move to a dif ferent pasture, Later his mon astery commenced' selling a wonderfully stimulating pow der. It was roasted, ground coffee beans. The coffee trade had begun! If you want to hear the yarn yourself, go to Somali land where the undersized natives dye their fuzzy hair Vermillion or canary or, (if they have recently completed the Mecca pilgrimage) the holy green.

" After more than a year of so many different lands and peoples, it will be so nice to be back in the U.S.A. Walter H. Knight Paris, France for Recognition when discussing the China problem. He pointed out that the Chinese never have consider ed themselves inferior to any body. He said some statements by the Chinese Communist press and radio indicate they are practically hysterical on the subject of recognition -not only diplomatic recogni tion but also recognition ' as being equal, important and a major power. A Japanese industrialist ob served the other evening that the Chinese Communists may be trying to throw their weight around because they do not have real knowledge of world affairs, especially, the strength of the United States. "Sometimes," he said, "the Chinese Communist leaders sound like the Japanese mili tarists who led Japan to the biggest defeat in her history." Working Both Ends There still are some obser vers in Asia who believe that Russia may be encouraging the Chinese Reds on one hand In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS The Supreme Court of the United States rules that inte gration (meaning admission of both white and colored stu dents) at Central High school in Little Rock, Ark., must proceed WITHOUT DELAY. The. case came before the nation's highest court as the result of an appeal from the Little Rock school board for a delay of 2V4 years. The court denied the request for delay. The immediate effect of the ruling is that seven Negroes who wish to attend must be admitted when the school opens. Chief Justice Warren says the decision of the court was unanimous. II7HAT shall we say of the decision? We might Avith good logic say that the justices of the Supreme Court may have been reading their Bibles- seeking, perhaps, to find guidance therein. If so, they may have found what they were seeking in the concluding verses of the ninth chapter of St. Luke, in which it is related that mem bers of the multitude were questioning Jesus as to what they should do, in difficult circumstances, in order to be saved. ST. LUKE tells it thus: "And He said unto an other, follow me. But he said Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. "Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead, but go thou and preach the king dom of God. "And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee, but let me first go and bid them farewell which are at home in my house. "And Jesus said unto him, No man, HAVING PUT HIS HAND TO THE PLOUGH, AND LOOKING BACK, is fit for the kingdom of God." THAT is to say: If you are going to do it, DO IT NOW. The decision of the Su preme Court, in this grave imatter of racial integration, is to do it NOW. IN its original decision, the high court called for inte gration of the races "with all deliberate speed." One can wish there had been more emphasis on DE LIBERATE and less on SPEED.

They contend Russia does not really want Communist China to be accepted. They contend this would be against Russia's interests and Russia likes the situation just as it is-for it makes it easier for Russia to hold the China mainland in the Red camp. It is their theory - shared by many British - that Com munist China might lean., a bit away from Russia and might lean p. bit more toward the West if Red China once got to associating on a large scale with other people and began getting ideas from oth er sources. On the other.side of the ar gument, there are those who believe the free nations would be selling many of their allies-and some neutrals -down the river if they made a deal with the Chinese Com munists who still wear the label of "aggressor" which was pinned on them by the United Nations. wished that the abomination oi human slavery in the Unit ed States of America could have been done away with more deliberately.
