8 The Bend Bulletin, Wednesday, March 23, 1 955 Congressman SAM COON WASHINGTON, D. C There have bwn a lot of Ore gonians, from my District here giving Congress the benefit of their knowledge and experience in the last couple of weeks. I told you about some of them in my last letter, and this week there were more. Maiion Weatherford, Chairman of the Oregon Wheat Commission, was here. I arranged for him to appear before the Sen ate Agriculture Committee where he disuessed ways and means of disposing of the agricultural sur pluses, so that the most benefit can be derived from it. Jack Smith, representing the National Association o! Wheat Growers, Bob Taylor, Administrator of the Oregon Wheat Commission, and Dick Baum, Executive Secretary of the Oregon Wheat League, were also here. Vou know I have always heard that bread is the staff of life and. to most of us, what means bread. So, I guess you could soy tlmt these Oregonians, and they are all Eastern Oregonians, came over here to make sure that we have a "staff' to lean on. I noticed a little note In the press, to the effect that the Eisen hower Administration, has named more women to top government positions than any other adminis tration has. Then it went on to say that the State Department's For eign Service, under the Republi cans, had doubled and tripled the number of women members ap pointed to foreign posts during the past two years. You know, (hot just makes me wonder they say that there are more women in America than there are men, do you suppose that what we are tiy ing to do is to improve that sit Ike's Visit to Flower Show Causes Quite a Commotion By MKRKIMAN SMITH good golf soil" and proceeded lo- lllited Pre Staff Correspondent ,v,mil the wishing wells where he WASHINGTON (UP) Kluwer shows nurnially are sedate, fra grant affairs conducted in library like culm.

Such was the case here recent ly when Mr. Eisenhower, sub bing for his wife who was buck nt the White House getting over the flu, visited the National Flow er Garden Show at the huge Dis trict of Columbia Armoiy. Until the President arrived, the armory was a bit of floral para dise us well-dressed matrons moved between the displays, ad miring the flowers and plants and wishing their gardens at home could look the same. Confusion Mm When the word passed thut the President was on the premises, however, the place took on all the aspects of a department store basement with nylons on sale for i dime a pair. The President went first to see "Minnie's Garden," a striking plot of chalk white tulips, box woods and blooming dogwood trees set within a serpentine brick wall and flagstone terrace. The garden will be given to the El senhower farm at Gettysburg, Pa., by the Allied Florists Asso ciation. Here the first difficulty devel oped. One man Insisted on giving the President a huge vase brim ming with two dozen Happiness roses. Mr. Eisenhower wanted to see the rest of the show und he wasn't about to go trudging through the aisles hauling the vase of flowers. He turned It over to a Secret Service man who disappeared, only to cause a lady gardener to discoveied he hud no coins, "If I can find luck, let's not puss it up," he said, dispatching an aide .or change. Armed wilh 2 in quarters, the President began tossing coins into tiie small, km-e-deep pools. One photographer, dutifully intent on what he suw through his camera viewfinder and not on his footing, calmly plunged into the first pond. Ought To He Ashamed One gentleman gardener trum peted, "Hey, you, don't do that." A ludy stuck her heud from be hind a hedge and shrilled at the uoor man who wus tidying to clam ber out of the water, "You ought to be ushume of yourself.' Ladies pushed and shoved to get near Mr. Eisenhower who took all the fuss with good hu mor. One lady lopi'd along be liine the presidential group, cull ing out ut frequvnt intervals, "Don't forget the Patent Office." After several yelps, investiga tion proved that she didn't want the President to pass up the flo ral display on the Patent Office which putents alxut Xu new flow- Meacham Rites Held Wednesday Special to The Bulletin tury Service, was chief justice of MADKA.S 'Services for Roy!"1' VVaim Springs Indian Reser- Meuchum, 42, who died Monday !vul ion tribal council.

Wishing Wells Then the President moved to ward a series of wishing wells into which the public was invited to toss coins for the Crippled Children's Society. Two camera men, trying for a high angle shot of the President's approach, climbed up what looked like a sturdy gui'den wall.

Down came a cascade of This bill will cost the government approximately 750 million dollars a year. That s an awtul tot oi dollars but actually the bill saves us taxpayers money. For instance we have been spending around 30 thousand dollars on each boy, In training our flying officers, and at the end of their drafted period they resign, because they can't live on the salaries they receive in the service. So we have to start all over, spending 30 thousand dol lars again training each new boy who, at the end of three years, will leave us. Wilh the Increased pay, these young men will be en couraged to make a career of the service, then we taxpayers will be spending 30 thousand dollars to train a man who is going to con tinue to work for us, thus elim inating that terrific expense of training new flying officers.

Congressman Norblad discussed the bill which has just been favor ably reported by the Armed Serv ices Committee, authorizing the building of a super aircraft car rier, which will weigh around GO thousand tons, and will cost ap proximately 200 million dollars.
