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

Rent Control Bill

Salem, Jan. 21 "Pi A state rent
control bill was being prepared
Thursday for introduction in the
house.
The measure, which would set
up a state rent control authority,
was being written by Portland

A measure was introduced in

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.
