By RONALD P. KRISS . United Press International Tokyo-OJPD-Behind the gay, outgoing personality of the next Empress of Japan is a girl completely serious about the position which soon will be hers. Michiko Shoda, 24-yearrold daughter of a wealthy Towyo family, will marry Crown Prince Akihito April 10, to be come the first commoner on the Japanese throne in its 2,618 year history. "I don't believe commoners should be united with the Im perial family," Michiko wrote her mother during the days of Akahito's courtship. "I doubt if such a move would bring good results. The history of royalty in Europe proves this." But once her decision was made, the told her parents and friends, "Every marriage, aft er all, is the same in essence." Miss Shoda, a trim brunette, was an honors scholar at the Catholic Sacred Heart schools she attended in Tokyo; and be gan her interest in tennis, through which she met her fu ture husband, because her doctors recommended exercise to cure a childhood illness. Her friends and teachers re member her as a sensitive and reflective girl an avid reader of historical novels, and just as enthusiastic a reader of A. M. Milne's "Winnie, the Pooh" books. Also interested in the paintings of Van Gogh and Ce zanne, she tried her hand at art but "somehow I never worked at one (painting) to the finish." "World Is Apple' Once in an essay competi tion, she looked back on the tumultous world in which she had grown up and described it as a "worm-eaten apple." But she shrugged off pessimism and her wish on reaching 20 was for "a bright future." "I would like to live each day filled with a lively expec tation," she wrote, ". . . im bued with the spirit that I would constantly strive to cre ate a new self and a new fu ture through my efforts." Michiko met Akihito on the tennis courts of Karuizawa matter of fact, she and a part ner once trounced him and his partner in a mixed doubles match. By the summer of 1958, Aki hito was seeing her regularly, and the knowledge that he wanted to marry her disturbed the young Michiko. She hast ily left her native land with out even seeing him-ostensib-ly to attend an international convention of Sacred Heart graduates in Belgium. But ac tually, her friends say, she Z r f IS - $ ' s 3 ' . "V and the remaining nine girls will serve as princesses. They are (left to riht) Miss Linda Hertager, Eagle Point High school; Miss Ar vella Prom, Crater High school; Miss Karen Frohs, Jacksonville; Miss Carolyn Tiegs, Talent; Miss Sylvia Yell, Crater; Miss Dana Halaas, Phoenix; Miss Marcia O'Sullivan, Medford; Miss Jean Bjorle and Miss Sally Lane, both Ashland. The queen was chosen at the end of a style show during which each candidate made three appearances. and Portland fairs which he attended. He announced that a large plastic "bubble" will be .set up adjacent to the armory to provide space for swimming and fishing pools. Chairman McGinty also said that a horse show, dog show and a number of other attractions are being planned and that many additional ex hibitors have taken space for the fair. John Watkins of the Pear Blossom festival spoke brief ly of general festival plans and of plans to select the tra ditional five or six-year-old kiddy king and queen. He stated that in addition to the hand-drawn and motor-powered floats, a Centennial sec tion has been added for this wanted time to think things over. Shortly after she left on an eight-week trip to Europe and the United States, an emissary from the Imperial household board whose job was the painstaking search for a fu ture Empress asked the Sho das unofficially for their opin ion. Urgent phone calls and letters passed between Michi ko and her parents. The deci sion "No was relayed to the board. Prince Determined But the Crown Prince was not so easily put off .When she returned to Tokyo in October, Akihito was on the telephone daily an unheard of proce dure in Japanese royalty's courtship. His persistence finally over came her doubts about com moner marrying royalty; in November she said "yes." Today, Michiko is caught up in a dizzying whirl of prepara tions for her wedding and a life of pomp and ceremony. Tutors are giving her les sons in court ritual and eti quette, preparing her for the different future. Those who know Michiko say she will make the transition smoothly. Mother Miyoshi, Michiko'? history teacher and guidance counselor at Sacred Heart, summed up her feelings: "As a person, Michiko is perfect for the role if you don't think in terms of com moner or nobility."

Mrs. Smith selected for read ing one of the numerous plays from the pen of the Scottish journalist and playwright, James M. Berrie, "The Old Lady Shows Her Medals." There was added interest in her choice of plays for several of the members, they having seen the play on KBES-TV several months ago. Mrs. R. J. Miller gave a pre pared article on the Middle East, stressing the Arab situa tion. Mrs. Miller gave four primary reasons why this area has become an important focus of world interest and of controversial significance. First, its geographical position laying as it does at the cross roads of three continents; the phenomenal resources of oil; political problems and the his torical role this region plays in the world's religions. Collectively, these reasons make this land an area that cannot be ignored by the rest of the world as it is destined to play an important role in the future as it has in the past ages of human history. Continuing, Mrs. Miller stated, one cannot study the land and people of Israel and ignore Arabia or the Arab. Dinner year. This will include mount ed entries and horse-drawn floats.

"We wanted something to do in our old age," said Mrs. Ethel Aaron t$ who with her partner, Mrs. Jean Kates, Gay Paalev o p e r a tes an unusual gift service.

The critics were unanimous in their praise of MacNeil, who flew here Saturday morn ing from San Francisco to pinch-hit that evening for Merill in the role of Rigo- letto, one of opera's most de manding. "Sometimes an artist can plug along year in and year out without any breaks," said Eric Salzman in the New York Times. "Then, with a whoosh, he'll go right to the top. Cornell MacNeil has just taken that dizzying ride." ! The critic only echoed the delirious reception given Mac Neil by an audience that had begun the evening by grum bling over his substitution for the popular Merrill. His sing ing of Rigoletto's pathetic third act aria roused such an ovation that the opera was in terrupted for several minutes. MacNeil had signed a con tract with the Met a month ago, but he was not scheduled to make his debut until next season. He was singing with the Cosmopolitan Opera com pany in San Francisco when Met called. MacNeil returned to San Francisco by jet plane Sunday to complete his season with the Cosmopolitan company. Xma-.

"The husband thought a gift basket would help make peace, so he called us. It must have worked. Any way, we didn't get the basket back." , "Bedside Manna" grew from a conversation in a hos pital room. "I've always packed baskets for sick friends, just for fun," said Mrs. Aaron. "That day, we were visiting Mrs. Kates' sister, and I'd taken her a basket of things. Suddenly, we all decided this could fill a need for a lot of people." Mrs. Aaron and Mrs. Kates, a Westchester county houses wife and mother of three college-age children, spent four months shopping - "casing the gift field" - before they form ally opened office. Now, they feel they know the sources for unusual gifts and wrap pings so well, they can fill almost any order. The gift donor fills out a questionnaire which gives a pretty thorough run-down on the personality of the recip ient - his age, nature of the illness, special interests and hobbies, active dislikes. "Under hobbies, a few of our customers have listed liquor, golf and women," laughed Mrs. Aaron. "We get about as many orders for men as for women," said Mrs. Aaron. "Men love being pampered . . . they're children when they're ill." One of their recent orders was for a sick phychiatrist. "He was down with a back ailment ... on the couch him self," said Mrs. Aaron. "His basket included a pamper pillow and one of those kalei doscopes in which a person can make his own designs-we thought it was better than rose-colored glasses.
