So far, it has cost me $12.50 every time I’ve had them on!” An Image Fallen? The streets flowed red with the blood of thousands of broken hearts recently as young- women all over the world had discovered that it was indeed true — Elvis was getting married! Well, maybe it wasn’t exactly that bad, but one can be assured that many of the Memphis boy’s fans experi enced a slight-to-extreme traumatic shock to realize that the very image of American rock ’n’ roll had become a victim of matrimony. Elvis Presley, 32, who popularized a special type of music and became a millionaire in the process, ended a reign as one of show business’ most eligible bachelors Monday by marrying his longtime girl friend, Priscilla Beaulieu, 22. Presley and his bride met in 1959 in Germany while he was serving with the U. S. Army. The former Miss Beaulieu was about 14 years old and attending high school at Frankfurt when she and Presley met and first began to date. Her father is Lt. Col. Joseph Beaulieu who was stationed in Germany at the time. Both Elvis and Priscilla are from Memphis. Now when a fellow takes his girl to sit with her through one of Elvis’ movies, he can breathe a little easier, or even snicker a little under his breath, knowing that the singing idol’s image may be somewhat tarnished with the disappointment of his many single feminine followers. It has been more than 10 years since the discovery of Elvis. In that duration many of his most frantic fol lowers have already fallen victim to Cupid’s arrows and now have children of their own who sport the shaggy hair of some other teenage idol or idols. When asked at a news conference why he waited so long to get married, Presley answered. “Well, I guess it was about time.” Then his manager, Col. Tom Parker, spoke up and reassured him that “you can’t end bachelor hood without getting married . . .” —W.G. Mrs. Mildred Alice Rose of Fort Smith, Ark., is the first woman graduate of a polygraph examiner’s school at Texas A&M. The brown-eyed personable Mrs. Rose is accustomed to com peting in a man’s world. She has experience as a deputy sheriff, a defense plant worker and as an airplane ferry pilot. “I’m going to establish a com mercial polygraph' service in Greenwood in the near future,” Mrs. Rose commented. “I don’t know just now how I’m going to handle it, but I’m excited about the new challenge.” Mrs. Rose said Governor Rocke feller has signed a polygraph law into action in Arkansas since she has been enrolled. “BASICALLY, the law calls for prospective polygraph exam iners to complete a polygraph school or serve a one-year ap prenticeship in polygraph work,” she said. “After that, they must pass a state board examination.” “I’ve had to study hard in this course,” Mrs. Rose continued. “Of course I was surprised to learn that so many subjects are involved — anatomy, physiology, psychology, mechanics and chart interpretations.” She received her certificate of completion Friday for a six-week polygraph school at A&M. Ira E. Scott, polygraph in structor for the police training division of A&M’s Engineering Extension Service, praised Mrs. Rose as “a fine student.” “SHE’S CERTAINLY quali fied,” Scott added, “and she has vast experience in law enforce ment areas.” For the past five years, Mrs. Rose has worked as legal secre tary for her husband, Jack, who has offices in Fort Smith and Greenwood.” Mrs. Rose is familiar with law in more ways than one. She has been a justice of the peace in Fort Smith for 16 years. “I was elected for the first time on the day my daughter, Jan, was born,” Mrs. Rose remi nisced. “I also have a son, Jack. He’s 18 and plans to become a minister. Jan wants to study law.” Through the years, Mrs. Rose also spent about six years as a deputy sheriff in Sebastian County. “OH, I DIDN’T carry a gun,” she grinned. “Mostly I operated the radio and handled women prisoners for both the city and county.” Mrs. Rose said the joint jobs of deputy and justice of the peace caused few problems.

ROSE remembered a jailbreak once while she was working in the sheriff’s office. “The sheriff had told me to slam a steel door and not to open it for any reason after I heard a warning buzzer,” she recalled. “A couple of FBI men who had gone up to the jail by another route banged on the door, but I wouldn’t let them out.” In the early days of World War II Mrs. Rose work in a California defense plant which manufac tured aircraft parts.
