(UPI Telephoto) Too Many Battlefields Pose Problem for Southern States Atlanta -IUPD- The South is getting ready for the centen nial celebration of the Civil War with an embarrassment of riches - too many battle fields. . i If the Yankees want to do any celebrating next year, they'll probably have to come South to find a suitable site to celebrate a victory. But the southern states all have committees hard at work picking out appropriate bat tles for re-enactment. And legend has it that the South won all the battles, i Take Tennessee'. There were more than 800 battles fought in Tennessee between 1861 and 1885, and everybody ll partial to his own battle. Col. Cambell Brown, head of Tennessee's Civil War Cen tennial Planning Committee, looked over the bewildering array of possibilities and de cided to do a little legend trampling - not a laughing matter in Dixie. Committee Investigates Col. Brown, convinced Ihere is a certain amount of "wrong information" about the war for. southern inde pendence, has sent a nine-man committee around the state to form local committees that will dig through old trunks, attics, newspapers, handbills, letters and other assorted memorabilia to "put the Civil War in its true perspective." Therein lies a possible solu tion to the dilemma. If everybody would get to gether and agree to celebrate only the Battle of Natural Bridge, Fla., honor would be salved on both sides though legends might be trampled. That was a battle. '. Legend has it that on the night of March 6, 1885, the engineer of a puffing locomo tive which had raced from St. Marks to Tallahassee, Fla., aroused the good people of Tallahassee with the blast of his whistle. Warns of Yankees His news was that Union Gen. John Newton with a fleet of 18 ships - including a New York ferryboat - had put ashore about 900 Negro troops to capture the Florida capital. Valiant cadets of West Florida Seminary in Talla hassee dropped their text books and raced to the front with Gen. William Miller to throw back the Yankee in vader. They came home the next day victorious- Well, maybe it wasn't quite mat way. Gen. Newton got off on the wrong side of the river, most of his ships ran aground in Apalachee Bay, none of his precast plans to burn bridges worked out just right, and he never could find a place to cross the river.

Radio Liberty (RL) fights the cold war of the air waves 24 hours a day, seven days a week. There are some 10,000,000 privately owned radio sets in the Soviet Union and this is Radio Liberty's potential au dience. It ia trying to explain the western way of life to the persons who gather around these radio sets from the Pol ish border to the Siberian Steppes. How many Russians listen? How are they affected by what they hear? Is Radio Lib erty getting through to its listeners or is it, in effect. talking into a dead micro phone. Audience Sis Measured Researchers for Radio Lib erty strive constantly to mea sure the size of the audience inside Russia. For example, an announcer will say at the end of a particular progrma: If you liked this feature please write us at Box 7, Stockholm," or "Box 49, Paris." A flood of mail will come pouring in within a day or two, but by the end of the week Soviet authorities will have succeeded in shutting off all letters and postcards addressed to that box num ber. But an analysis will give a clue to the overall number of listeners, since these docu ments have a surprisingly even geographical distribu tion. Hundreds of Soviet tourists to the Brussels World's Fair and the Vienna Youth Festi val were interrogated by RL assistants. Specifically they were asked how much they and other Russians listened to Radio Liberty, BBC and the Voice of America. Habits Obtained Since the thaw in East- West relations following the death of Stalin, large num bers of non-Russians have been repatriated from the Soviet Union, particularly former Greek, Spanish and German prisoners of war. From these some evidences of life inside the Communist world and the habits of radio listening have been obtained. Finally Radio Liberty re searchers have continuous, Radio Liberty has found that it does have a large audience of Soviet listeners - not only inose who have radio receiv ers, but millions of others who go to the homes of own ers of sets. And, of those who have heard Radio Liberty at all, more than half are regular listeners, according to Max Ralis, manager of audience research and evaluation de partment. Picture of Listener So while there can be no exact measurement, in terms of numbers, Ralis points out that Radio Liberty definitely is not talking to a "dead tele phone." Moreover, Ralis can give a pretty good picture of the average listener inside Russia. "More likely than not." Ralis said, "ha lives In the European part of the USSR; he will belong to the intelli gentsia: he will be between 25 and 40 years old; and he will be a man of mixed poli tical feelings." He need not necessarily be untnenaiy to the Soviet re gime, but he will have a gen uine interest in what is going on in the west and western viewpoints and reactions, Ike To Message DAR Convention Washington - IUPD -The Daughters of the American Revolution open their 69th annual Continental Congress tonight.

She's a vampire in a middy blouse. e e Stephen F. -Eight years ago, before I was married, I became very much involved with a girl of 18. Dora was an exceptionally naive girl for her age and I'm afraid she fell all to eas ily for my line. We had an affair and I guess she just fell seriously in love with me, although I couldn t reci procate. We also agree with Geor- gianna that right-minded young women do not tell mar ried men they love them. If they find themselves In this situation they manage to bury the little secret. A woman who confesses such feelings to a man wants to play on his feelings which is O.K. If he happens to be free.

She said she understood, but loved me just the same. I want to help this girl by inviting her to our home and introducing her to people, but my wife objects to hav ing her. www Gsotgitnna F, What a nervel I'm simply furious, but Steve thinks I have nothing to be sore about. This poor, poor little Dora is a vampire in a middy blouse if ever I saw one. Does she really think she can get away with going around tell ing married men she's in love with them? I don't care what happened eight years ago. That's none of my business, but I do care what's happen ing now. She happens to be a very attractive girl ana i don't like the way she looks at Steve. Steve thinks I'm mean, jealous woman for not want ing to help the girl find a hus band. Well, I just don't con sider that my responsibility. Steve has a guilt complex about this girl. He'i sure he ruined her life, but I frankly wonder. The Cauncili - We're with Georgianna. Her instincts are right on the beam. Wl hate to disillusion sieve but we are very dubious about the Idea that Dora has been carrying a torch for him for eight years, we tninic she Is either lying or using his image as I shield against marriage, which for some decp-rooted reason she fears. where Dora Is concerned. Girls of 18 usually have fairly strong defenses against the wolf approach. The man who thinks his sex appeal breaks down those defenses Is kid ding himself. It is usually the girl herself who has decided to depart from the accepted standards. A girl like Dora looks around for a conveni ent partner and chooses one who represents no - serious threat to her emotional vir ginity. She has her affair within the framework of shal. low, immature feelings. She rriay later attempt to pressure her partner into marriage, but this is usually the result of an attack of panic. She may fear pregnancy, or mor al and social retribution, but she doesn't fear the one thing that is really fearful her incapacity for love. This is why Dora hasn't married in Soldier Killed Near Klamath Falls klamalh Falls - Oirr, - Rob eft Y.
