Doyle's Column Old Family Album Still Tells Story Of Courage , By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK, Feb. 19 (A1) When the neighborhood movie Is featuring one ot those films bout psychopathic people with psychopathic problems, I stay at home and thumb through my wife's old family album. Each faded picture shows a long dead face that once drew breath and had problems. Frances tells me the real life story behind the faces and how they met those vanished prob lems. It is much more fun than a movie. i My favorite Is my Grand-mother-in-law Gray, who still looks out from the battered al bum with the dignity of a duch ess, her black eyes snapping under hair of snow. . The thing Grandmother Gray had was the courage to carry her burden. Once upon a time she was young and slender and fair, with dark eloquent eyes and black hair. Martha La Force OH!

Martha liked Vincent Gray. But she loved the other suitor let's call him Robert. Both boys knew how they stood. The Civil war broke out and both suitors went off to fight on the northern side. Battle Letttrs Both suitors wrote to her through the years of battle, but toward the end the letters from Robert ceased abruptly. Vincent Gray returned, limping from a bad spinal wound, and he re newed his suit. Martha clung to the small gold band that Robert had giv en her in those days they often gave engagement rings that look like the wedding rings of today. But when the war had been over several months and no word came from her "true lover," Vincent final ly convinced her Robert was I WORRY, SOU QUO COM WMt OIKl BUT -mere VJONT 0 1 I yWr. VI .

So one day, all in white, she walked out a church door on Vincent Gray's arm, his wife. And before the sun set on her wedding day a large packet of letters came from her absent "true love." Robert was in a hospital, badly wounded. He wrote he loved her dearly and would come to her as soon as he could be moved. But in those days people took seriously the words, "Whom God hath joined together let no man put asunder." Martha Gray sat down and wrote the last letter she ever sent the man she loved. He never came home and she never saw him or had word from him again. She never spoke his name, yet Robert was an unseen ghost between her and her husband, who always was troubled by the knowledge she had married him only through affectionate pity. Martha bore him four daugh ters, and the sad man only said: "Four daughters I have to feed and clothe, and not a son to cheer my heart." But it was Grandmother Gray who had to feed and clothe them. Vincent Gray died young from the after effect of his war wound. Martha Gray never bustled "mt OLO pv? sets'.

In tho aft ernoons and evenings site sewed clothes for her daughters. Three she sent through college. Once a boarder, seeing her bent cheerfully over her sew ing machine, put his hand lightly on her shoulder and sum: "Your little hands should never have harder work than this to do." And Grandmother Gray, without turning her head or missing a stitch, said very firmly: "Take your hand from my shoulder, sir, or leave this house forever. Meant What Thty Said Yes, people once talked that way and they meant what they said. The abashed boarder removed his hand, but stayed for dinner. He was the only man who ever "insulted" Martha Gray in the years she ran her boarding house. When her daughters married, her sons-in-law quarreled for the privilege of having Grand mother Gray stay with them. She lived to be old. She died ot pneumonia. Only then did the family learn that some The rjmsleaders .' a wo NO WONDER months before her doctor hud Inturmcd her she was Incurably III of cancer. She told no one and never let her pain be known, She carried her valor inul her problems with her to the grave. Among her effects they found the slim small gold ring she had never sent back to Rob ert the one remembrance of her early love. Quaint, proud, tiny Grand mother Gray! For a story about people like her people with the character to meet real problems I'll walk through slush and rain to the movies. The rest of tho tlmo I'll stick to the old album.

Iwo Jima Dead Honored By Army Garrison IWO JIMA, Feb. 19 i,Vl A thousand American soldiers stood at attention before a sandy grave yard here today to pay homage to the 4000 marines who died two years ago to secure this strategic island for their country. The troops now garrison the island and maintain the army air force base, but the ceremony was in honor of the marines who took the island from the Jap anese. Three marine divisions participated In the costly opera tion in February of 1945. Its main objective was to obtain an air field close to Japan's home islands. The ccmctary lies at the foot of grim Mount Suribachi. its rows of white crosses and Stars of David in orderly rows across the volcanic sands where thou sands fell before the concen trated mortar and machine-gun fire of Japanese gunners. Nine B-29s, the huge bombers whose crews in later stages of the war often used Iwo's landing strip in emergencies when their fuel was running low or their engines were disabled, wheeled overhead as three servicemen laid wreaths at the base of the cemetery monument and an honor guard fired the traditional three-round salute.
