WcHkins 'Bubble-Curtain' Marks Finis io Many Fish Because they are forced bv Nature to practice "together ness," many millions of schooling-fish may disappear forever behind the '"bubble- curtain." Many species of the ocean's inhabitants were designed by .Nature to travel and live in schools. Often in these schools are hundreds of millions of individuals. The school moves forward, over the bottom, at the sea's surface, or somewhere in be tween, depending on the species. The schooling habit was probably adopted for pro tective reasons. Predators - slashing into a school kills but a few members of the school and most escape. The species would survive at the sacrifice of a few. . .. . Since the time the first man viewed the swimming hoardes, he figured various mays to catch more fish. For many ages before, during, and even after Biblical times, fishermen have designed and used nets. Some unethical fishermen have resorted to explosives and even poisons to kill fish in large numbers. Price Advanced As the fish schools gradual ly became fewer, and farther apart, the price of fish ad vanced; the demand increased and new methods of securing more fish, quicker and cheap per, became the cry. It was so simple it is rather uncomplimentary to mankind that no one thought of it be fore. Merely a few hundred or thousand feet of flexible tubing in which small holes are placed at two or three Inch intervals. The fishing ' boat, loaded with this perforated pipe, drops the tubing in the water; once in place air compressors on the boat pump air under pressure into the pipes. A regular curtain of bubbles rises in the water. The fish school, mistaking the curtain of bubbles for a barrier, turns away from it and toward the boat. ........... ; -. Diabolical Cleverness Here again man's diabolical cleverness exerts itself again, ' for machines in the ship send ' out powerful electrical im pulses that paralyze tne nsn s swim muscles, causing them actually to swim close enough to the ship to come under the influence of strong suction pumps that suck the helpless fish into the waiting holds. xt- n..Kf oKrtut it tha ma chines will work, most me chanical things do; but here biology must be figured in. Machines ire fine, we need them, and we have them; but shouldn't comparable meas ures be taken to increase the l f r;nU9 TWa i 1IU111UC1 ui nothing in the sea or on the land that is absolutely inexhaustible.- Too much exploi tation can and will deplete the supply. The "bubble cur tain" would be as silly and as useless as the goose that died because she laid a golden egg. : (Released by The Register and Tribune Syndicate, 1960) Pope, Macmillan Visit at Vatican Vatican City OJPD Pope John XXIII warmly welcomed British Prime Minister Har old Macmillan on a visit to the Vatican today as a states man "inspired by the great ideals of freedom, justice and peace." The Roman Catholic Church, the pontiff told Mac millan in a private audience, also "works tirelessly for the establishment of a true, dur able peace." Macmillan, Foreign Secre tary Lord Home, Minister to the- Holy See Sir Peter Scar lett and a party of 10 other persons were received with all the splendor and pomp of an official visit. Macmillan has just finished two days of talks with Italian officials. Most heads of government who come to Rome on official visits calhon the Pope before they leave but this one created more than usual interest because the archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Geoffrey Fisher, will have an audience with the Pope Dec. 1.

But for all her beauty, lite most famous curves on earth hid a very lonely person. - Now her marriage to Arthur Miller is on the rocks. Here Is the first of three dispatches nar rating Marilyn Monroe's quest for love. By ROBERT LILES . UPI Correspondent Marilyn Monroe lolled on a crumpled" red velvet drape and her sensational curves were photographed in all their natural beauty. That day in 1949 was a magnificent moment for the art of illustrating calendars and accelerating male heart beats. But the celebrated pho to didn't make a star of Mari lyn Monroe. Her whole life, it would seem, is a story of things that didn't happen. Her birth didn't repair a shattered . home: Her early years didn't deliver childhood joys and her blossoming years didn t produce the real plea sures of young love. -And even, after her eventual ar rival at the peak of success (after a hard climb, the curves notwithstanding) there was little happiness. A teen-age marriage to the guy next door had failed A second to Joe DiMaggio fared no better. Marilyn seemed condemned to be a paper pinup girl even in real life. She could be ad mired but she couldn't be touched. You could dream, but it wasn't real. Along Comes Miller ' And then came Arthur. Miller. He was different: The in tense intellectual, a man of intense fecjing, and both head over heels in love. Marilyn cooed happily about having children, snuggled with him in nightclubs, learned a new kind of serious acting for his plays, tried to be a housewife. : But the home life didn't jell. The children weren't born. The pin-up curse re turned and the perfect mar riage of beauty and brains is on the rocks. There in a nutshell is the life of Marilyn Monroe. It will make a fascinating movie script some day: beauty, rags to riches, everything - every thing but the traditional hap py ending. In everything but her per sonal, life, Marilyn is now at the height of fame, riches and talent. It has been a rough road, but a fast one from the squalid Los Angeles hospital where she was born 34 years ago. Her birth certificate reads Norma Jeane Mortenson, a concession to the father who deserted her mother before the baby was born. She grew up as Norma Jean Baker, daughter of Gladys Baker, a film cutter at RKO Studios. That was a first and mem orable connection with the movie industry. Dream Sustains Her It was Norma Jean's early instilled dream of being a movie star, perhaps, which sustained her in life in 12 foster homes and an orphan age. . These were her homes her mother was com 1? i mitted to a mental institution, Her life during these years from 1926 to the early 40s left scars of loneliness and frustration which may explain some of the difficulties in her private life. It probably can be said that not the least of these early traumatic experiences was when she was about. 8 years old. A middle-aged boarder in one of the foster homes en ticed her into his room with promises of presents. He mo lested her! Her foster mother at the time wanted no trouble with her best-paying boarder and shushed the weeping girl with threats. That may. have been the The Family Counci Editor's Noto: The Family Council consists of a Judge, a psychia trist, three clergymen, three editors and a women's editor. Each article is a summary of an actual case history. The Council reports on pruoienis uim nave oeen uenu counselors. Chester F. - Our children don't bring us closer, they separate us. Lillian F.-He wants me to neglect them and go places just with him. 9 - - Chester F.-When a man be comes a father, must he stop being a person, a husband, an individual like before? I never thought that when chil dren came in, companionship .would go out. We're married seven years. Although Lillian and I are wild about bike-riding and we met in a Bicycle Club, would you believe we haven't had a bike ride together the whole timel She became pregnant right away and never felt well enough to come along. Now Nancy is 6 and Mark 5, and all her time and energy are for them. 'I get' the crumbs. We never have friends over for a real party. But kiddy parties? Every other week, it seems. And when we do go' anywhere,, we're always the first to leave because Lily feels nervous about Mark's cold or, Nancy's nightmares. What happens to a marri age when a wife turns into 100 per cent mother? Lillian F.-What does he ex-pect-bring children Into the world and then go night clubbing, bike-riding, dancing and let the children grow up any old way? Most men would be glad to have their wives as de voted and conscientious to ward their youngsters as I am with Nancy and Mark. Chester can bo patient. I'll ride a bike with him again. When the kids are older, we can all go riding together. And he forgets about parties. We did have one on New Year's Eve a few years ago and the noise and shouting frightened poor Nancy out of a deep sleep. I trace her night mares to that. Drinking par ties can wait until the chil dren can understand what's happening. ! A woman can do just so much and no more. I must say no lo someone and the some one must be Chester right now. He's old enough to know why. The children aren't. ' Tfie Council: Does Lillian j -6 V Ml S i U' ' tig " ip - stanlly in "cheesecake" poses, a national sex symbol. She's , armed forces. ; formation of the personal Monroe doctrine she later set for herself - hands off; look, but don't touch. No one has ever said that Marilyn Monroe doesn't like to be admired. She first discovered the pleasure of attention when she went to Van Nuys High school in a white sweater a size too small. She also had a walk that movie critics were later to claim made her stage exits as moving as her entrances. . She had denied all publicity stories that her walk was cre ated by an early leg injury or a starvation diet. "I just walk" she murmurs wnn py responsiDio agencies ana realize that 'the biggest break any child can have is to be the product of a happy mar riage? , ... A mother who grows so overprotective, so unneces sarily wrapped up in her children, is usually running away from her marriage. Un der the pretext of being too busy, preoccupied with child care, she leaves her husband out on a limb. He must fig ure what happened to the once-loving twosome, and how he alone can keep it warm through the chill of child raising. At the University of Michi gan, two social scientists have completed a study of over 900 marriages and in their new book, "Husbands and Wives The Dynamics of Married Liv ing," say: "Children are like medicine; in proper doses they create health, but an overdose can be fatal to the marriage." This may come as a sur prise to people who assume that all that's needed for a Blue Heaven is Molly and Me and Baby. Molly's or, in this case, Lily's sense of propor tion must be added. Lily should examine her self to see why she is letting Herself be too busy with the children to cultivate the mar riage. If it's merely carless- ness and thoughtlessness, she can catch herself up short and retrace easily. If, however, it's fear or distaste, she should talk things over with a mar riage counselor. By denying mat there s a problem, she's doing the whole family an injustice. Seeing parents embrace. noting some demonstrative ness between them, gives chil dren a bedrock feeling about nome. ihe assurance that Papa loves Mama sends them to bed feeling safe. Little Nancy's nightmares may be connected with vague doubts on that score. A successful marriage is one that lasts not "for (he sake of the children" but for the sake of the married. In the normal course of events, Chester and not the kids will be Lily's life's companion. Saying no to him may be say ing no to life. Start saying yes to Chester, Lily.

"ft, 1 i J i a center, until she emerged as shown at right entertaining (UPI Telephoto) Men soon were following Norma Jean in her sweater. And she liked it. She craved the attention her orphan back ground had denied her. But she also wanted the deep love usually first sup plied by parents. At 18,. Norma Jean knew that her foster parents at the time, whom she liked,' were planning to move away.' She faced being shunted to an other home.' So Norma Jean, with the connivance of her foster mother, picked out a nice boy next floor and married him. .James Dougherty was 21 and had a good job in a Lock heed aircraft plant. - Marilyn tried hard to be a gopd wife, Dougherty later recalled. She darned his socks and was an immaculate house keeper, but he described her cooking as "surrealistic," a steady diet of carrots and peas because she : liked the color combination. It was during her four years of marriage to Dougherty, while she was working in a war-time defense plant, that sne nrst came to the attention of a photographer. He was doing a series of photographs of women in Industry and asKea tne overall-clad Norma Jean if she didn't have a sweater around. - , , "Sure," she said..

Ward Cook (D-Portland) as state treasurer cost $6,065, ac cording to a campaign com mittee report filed with the State Elections Division. Republican Howard C. Bel ton was elected treasurer and his committee reported ex peiijes of $13,333, Beast Figured At 700 Pounds By Track Depth London - lUPl - The Abom inable Snowman is eight feet tall and tips the scales at 700 pounds - or else there's a practical joker of that size and weight cavorting around the Himalayas to fool ex plorers. ' Squadron Leader L. W. Davies, one of the most ex perienced Himalayan climb ers, today gave this estimate of the fabled beast based on his own day-long tracking of footprints found on one of his seven expeditions to the Roof of the World. Permitted To Study Scalp Reports reaching here from Katmandu said Sir Edmund Hillary, who conquered Mt. Everest, was granted permis sion to take out of Nepal for scientific study a scalp be lieved by natives to be that of the Yeti, the native name for the Abominable Snowman. Hillary is leading an ex pedition which is attempting to prove the existence of the Abominable Snowman. Davies said that on June 12. 1955, he and a comrade fol lowed the tracks of "a very large two-legged beast" in the glacial Valley of the Kultl In the Central Himalayas. Had Long Stride "Its stride was about twice that of a man," Davies said, and on very steep slopes It had slid on its rump using its fists to retard its descent. The Spans between the fist marks were about twice mine. "The average dimensions of the five-toed footprints were 12 inches long, 9 inches wide and they sank into the snow by as much as 11 . Inches, where my own feet had sunk one and one-half Inches - and I weighed 198 pounds. This indicated a weight of about 700 pounds." , SILVERSMITH DIES Birmingham, A 1 a.
