Dear Sir:
Last weeks edition of the
Sidney Herald contained a 'let-
ter to the editor by Alfred
Anderson expressing criticism
to the ads sponsored by the
John Birch Society.
This letter contained a good
many charges and accusations
that I don't believe Mr.. Ander-
son can sUbstantiate. He has
attempted to discredit members
of the Society, ridiculed the
efforts and questioned the sin
certy Of their actions. He has
not dealt in any specifics, but
generalitieS; he uses the cloak
OF religion by quoting from
scriptures (while condemning
this type of thing and does his
own sowing OF seeds OF hatred
and suspicion, again not being
specific by pointing out actual
use of such action by society
members.
While Mr.. Anderson is doing
his watching of the paid ads of
the John Birch Society, others
will be watching the paid ads
of the Farmers Union family of
the week. l wonder how many
of these fine farmers (and l
mean that-moSt of them are
truly fine people, would allow
their names and pictures to be
used, if they had first read the
book Concerning Communism

she blurted, her mind slip

They were married August
10, l945, against the wishes
OF her boss, Louis B. Mayer.
Powell was late for the we'd
ding, and she was afraid that
he had forgotten.
Beset BY Fears
Their early marriage lacked
the storybook quality that
movie stars are supposed to
enjoy, To the public she was
June Allyson, the cheerful,
ingenious daughter of mid
ule-claSS parents or Lucerne,
N. Y.
In reality she had been
Ella Geisman, whose janitor
father had deserted his fam
lily to poverty in the Bronx.
Beset with fear of inadequa-
cy, the new Mrs. Powell was
unable to cope with the
plunge into Hollywood soci-
ETY..

she needed. "Junie, you've got

she claimed she couldn't.
She tried psychiatry, and
that helped. So did their
adoption of a baby daugh-
ter, Pamela, June had been
told she could not bear chill
dren because of an early in
jury. But a boy, Richard
Keith, was born to the cou-
pie on Christmas eve, 1850.
Stresses Showed
For a few years their mar
riage appeared to have found
its pattern. He was busy di-
recting movies and beginning
his television enterprise. She
had left MGM to free-lance
with considerable success.
But then the stresses began
to show once more.
After several separations,
June filed for divorce on jan
uary 81, 1861.
Richard was so tied up
with business that the chill
dren kept asking where is
daddy?'" she complained.
June underwent two throat
operations, and she feared
the worst - cancer. Dick was
