Tuesday, Julv 7, 1959 MacRae Finds Teen Marriage Yorked Well By BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD (AP) - Teen agers in love get all kinds of arguments on why they shouldn't get married. Here are Gordon and Sheila MacRae with a different slant: why not? The talented pair married in 1941 when she was 17 and he was barely 20. Eighteen years and four children later, they are en joying their married life more than ever. Not only, do they live together; they work together. For three years they have been appearing as a team in supper clubs and on TV. This summer they'll co-star in "The Bells Are Ringing" at the big St. Louis outdoor theater. - They attribute a great deal of their success at marriage to hav ing started early. They met in a little theater on Long Island. A romance ensued, and she joined him for a visit in Ohio while he was touring with Horace Hcidt. "It was Horace who suggested we get married," Gordon recall ed. "I don't know why, except maybe he thought he'd be able to hold onto a singer. He saw the war coming on and may have fig ured I wouldn't be drafted if I had dependents." So they were wed, despite 3ac Rac's shaky prospects: he was earning $50 a week as a part of a quartet. So they lived happily ever after? "No," corrected Sheila, "f was packed five times and ready to go home to mother." "And each time I gave in and laid I was wrong, whether I was or not," he added. Their marriage managed (o sur vive the barnstorming tours and his three years in the Air Force. After the war, she wrote and ap peared on a radio show which started him off to stardom. When Hollywood beckoned,, she retired to care for their lamily. ' Sheila refuted the theory that op posite types made the best mar- riages. She and Gordon hit it off more readily as youngsters, she feels, because they came from the fame kind of backgrounds. "And," he added, "it helps to have a good example in your own family. Both Sheila's parents and mine had been happily, married." iYY v 4r W -, i , j '2Lv . I ' Yea. ,' rL Girl, 17, Shot Vrong Youth SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) - A slender, freckled girl remorseful ly awaited police action today in the mistaken-identity slaying of a 17-yoar-old Negro boy. Visibly shaken, red haired Katie Ann Creel, 17, told how ihe used her companion's pistol Saturday and dropped the victim with one shot, thinking he was a former boy friend who had threat ened her. Her companion, William John- ion, 23, was arrested Sunday. His atory of the shooting matched the girl's, police said. .- Johnson said he and Miss Creel had been drirking beer and were driving down a Savannah street when the girl saw a young man. She said she thought he was a former boy friend she had vowed to kill. She snatched the .22 caliber pistol and fired. The victim, Willie Ross, was found sprawled on a sidewalk. Miss Creel was held on an open charge. Johnson was detained for investigation. si Advance Sales Break Mark For Shakespearean Festival ASHLAND Advance ticket sales at the Oregon Shakespear ean Festival in Ashland are break ing all pre-season records. Mem berships are selling 23.2 per cent ahead of last year at this time, while individual ticket reservations have soared to a 62.8 per cent in crease over the same period in 1958. General public interest in the the ater's unusual new stage, plus the influx of Centennial visitors are listed as major causes for the un precedented gains.

Bigwigs Exchange Visits Stir International Interest Employment Claims Drop The Oregon State Department of Employment reports that last week's initial clajms, totaling 1,044, wci'o at the lowest level ince the Korean War. Initial claims denote periods of new unemployment. , The number of persons reporting a week of unemployment during the week dropped to 7.215 which is 10 per cent below the preceding week and 44 per cent below last year at this time. Basic reason for the drop in In sured unemployment is an Increase In Job opportunities. Also contribut ing to the decrease is the contin uing dropout of persons who have received all the benefits to which they were entitled. By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON (AP) There is international interest in the ex change of visits by American and Soviet bigwigs: Deputy Premiers Anastas I. Mikoyan and Frol R. Kozlov come here; Vice President Richard M. Nixon visits Moscow this month. But do they mean anything? So far as Is visible these visits figure to make no change at all in relations between the two coun tries. The ' gulf between them is so deep any change will come only from what each, after much thought and bargaining, thinks best for itself. Glad-handing won't change anything. Maybe President Eisenhower and Premier Nikila Khrushchev could work out something at a summit conference. That's ques tionable. If they do, it won't be out of jolly goodfcllowship. Nixon, Mikoyan and Kozlov cer tainly don't have authority to agree on anything. The two So victs held out some bait. Nobody bit. If Nixon goes fishing in Mos cow, he'll probably come up with an empty hook, too. More than a year ago Khrush chev proposed in a letter to Eis enhower more trade between the two countries. It's pitifully low now. Mikoyan came here earlier this year and talked trade. Now Kozlov talks trade. All three got the cold-shoulder. Over the weekend the Slate De partment in a letter to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, gave the Soviets the full iccwatcr treatment. The department repeated what has been American policy all along: it docs not see much rea son for stepping up American-So vict trade, plenty of reasons for not. This country is quite willing and able to sell the Soviet Union large quantities of finished con sumcr goods, but the U.S.S.R wants little of these, more of oth er things. This is the unchanged policy: no strategic materials for the So viet Union, since they would help ner warmaking potential; no ma terials that would help the Soviet Union economically by letting her in on American technological ad vances. This country has reason not to help the U.S.S.R get any bigger economically since Khrushchev solemnly has promised to bury mis country under soviet pros perity. And, while Khrushchev, Miko yan and Kozlov have been talkim friendlier relations and better trade, the Soviet Union has been trying to force the Allies out of Berlin. Mirusnenov ana Kozlov even chose-the very moment when Koz lev was here, shaking hands and patting babies, to warn the United Stales not to get rough about Ber lin or it would get well roughed up. While all this was going on, of course, the Soviet Union was build ing up its missile supplies, the United States was building up its missile bases around the Soviet Union and, on the subject of Bcr lin, telling Khrushchev to go jump in the Volga. Happy days? Not yet. WINDOWS ALUMINUM SLIDING WITH SCREENS 3- 0x2-0 $19.95 4- 0x2-6 $24.25 6-0x3-0 $32.50 . ' Complete List of Sixe A Proportionatt Prices MeCollum Lbr.

His work now completed and the school in full operation, the lanky, quiet schoolteacher has re turned home with praise from Mexican officials. "These Mexican kids are versa tile," Lottridge said. "They learn fast. Why, 1 almost hale Ho go back to a school at home. "Seems like you've got to get Ihe boys backs to make them work in U.S. schools. It's the other way around in Mexico. If a teacher really doesn't put nut, a student delegation often calls on the -director of the school and complains. They want to learn." The Mexican highway school, El Olivar, is now grinding out trained operators and mechanics for all Latin America. Lottridge came to Mexico at the invitation of the Mexican Highway Assn. headed by Romulo O'Far t'il. At the time lie was director of vocational education for the Highland Park school system. He put students to work repair ing surplus road machinery, then gave them practical experience by sending them out to help profes sional road men work on highways. The El Olivar school has 300 mechanical and 85 operator slu dents and is still growing. FOND C.OOnilVE STANON Hll.L.
