PAGE EIGHT, FRIDAY. JANUARY 21. 1949 THE BEND BULLETIN. BEND. OREGON Legislators Get Housewife Check On House, Senate By Bon R. Anderson (United Press Stuff Correspondent) Salem, Jan. 21 HP Oregon legislators are a little more care ful about dropping cigar ashes on the floor now that there is a housewife In each of the house and senate. ' Sen. (Mrs. Guy II.) Marie Wil cox said today that her fellow senators do not need to be any more careful on her account, be cause although she is a .scrupu lous housekeeper at her home in Grants Pass, she wants to be treated Just like anyone else while sitting in the senate, "I don't want any preference as a woman, she said, "meres no reason why a woman in poll tics should not be treated just like-anyone else." She said while in the senate Surrounded by cigar and cigaret smokers that she set aside temp tation to rush around emptying ashtrays and she hasn't yet raced the janitor to the dust mop to tidy up any desks. "Politics is not a glamour road," Sen. Wilcox said. "It calls for some good, hard thinking and sex has nothing to do with it. : "Sex should be taken out of politics," she said. "People Should vote for a statesman, and not vote for a person just because the candidate Is a man or wom an." The dapper dressed senator, who helps her husband run a Jarge feed store at home, is serv ing her first session as senator rom Josephine county's 7th dis trict. She served in the house of Representatives in 1947. Rep. Grace Oliver Peck, mean while, holds down the job as the one woman in the 60 "man" house Jn the other wing of the capitol. She has given this wing of the 'fitatehouse a woman's heart, ac cording to her fellow representa tives who find Rep. (Mrs.) Peck especially interested in social welfare and old-age benefits. Rep. (GOP) Peck is a democrat elect ed by Multnomah county voters to serve her first session. She was born in Portland and says that she is proud that she spent her girlhood in the "slab town" district down by the Wil lamette river where the girls used to challenge the boys to rock fights. She acquired an edu cation as a legal stenographer and has been working in law und real estate offices ever since. Rep. Peck, who also does her own housekeeping at home, was of the opinion that there are a few things going on In the state institutions "which ought to be swept someplace other than un der the rug." ' She completed a tour of the Fairview home with the social welfare committee this week and found It "pretty good." "They knew we were coming, though," Rep. Peck said. "I'm go ing back there, and to other places, on my own when I get a chance." , 1 Mexican Laborer Confesses Deaths Sacramento, Calif., Jan. 21 lU'i A Mexican laborer who confessed that he killed two women and dumped their dismembered bod ies into the American river, faced questioning Thursday about the disappearance or his wire.

The measure, which would set up a state rent control authority, was being written by Portland democrats, Including Rep. Phil Dreyer and Sen. Richard L. Neu-berger. A measure was introduced in the senate bv Sen. Frank Hilton, R.( Portland, to relieve income taxpayers who have large medi cal expenses. Hilton's proposal would permit deduction of medical expenses from income tax payments when they exceed five per cent of a taxpayers' gross income. The taxpayer would be permit ted to deduct $1,250 for himself and each dependent who has medical expenses. Ttnih the senate and the house plan to convene today for both morning and afternoon ses sions. Then they will adjourn tor the weekend. Bills are piling ur in commit tees and the legislative leaders hope that Friday sessions may speed up committee work. Science at Work By Paul F. Kills (United 1'reas Science Writer) v New Ydrk, Jan. 21 HW Man, if necessary, can put microbes to work and ease the world's food shortage. Such a proposal comes from Dr. Carl S. Miner, Chicago chem ist, who believes that the microbes can convert wood waste and other inedible materials Into animal feed and thus free large quanti ties of grain for human consump tion. And if human beings still face starvation, Miner said there will be many other ways to obtain food. One is, according to Miner, the use of water instead ot soil as a medium for plant production. He recalled the investigations already under way to determine the food potentialities of the minute sea organisms known as plankton. They are microscopic in size. Another possibility, he points out, is the use of marine vegeta tion, ranging from slime to sea weed. Researchon such a project is now under way at the Univer sity of California. Miner believes also that devel opment of new strains of food Plants will be made. Hybrid corn, for example, has addeil 20 per cent to the nation s corn crop, or almost 700,000,0110 bushels during 19-18 - enough to provide the calor ic requirement, at 3.000 calories a day, of some 00,000,000 persons, he said. He foresees even greater strides In the development of Insecticides, fungicides, rodent icides and oth er weapons against parasitical in sects and animals who steal from human beings. He predicted that the combined efforts of chemists synthesizing compounds tailored to destroy specific pests and of entomologists studying the life processes of insects "will event u- ! ally result In the almost complete elimination of this serious source of food loss." j It has been estimated that less 1 than one-eighth of the total ngri- cultural acreage of the United States receives any kind of chern ! leal treatment against fungi, i weeds, Insects or other pests. ! In addition to new ways to pro tect crops, Miner believes there will be better ways for safeguard ing food in storage, anil also a i more efficient use of fertilizers to ! Increase production. In other j words, Dr. Miner lelicvrs that if : man starves to death It'll be his 1 own fault.
