Another male joins Father and the dog,
but it complicates things for the den
Our favorite Central Oregon family
was, until late Sunday night, composed
of Father, Mother, and five daughters
ranging in age from five to fifteen.
Then, unexpected as to both an early
arrival time and sex, a young son joined
the family.
This is fine, or so all the family's
friends thought. And to an outsider,
this might seem the case. But Father
wasn't sure.
Don't get this wrong. Father lias
often desired some male companion
ship around the house. Women, as nice
as they are, sometimes just don't under
stand. So Father gave in easily when one
of the daughters developed a liking for
torn cats. But torn cats present prob
lems, too. When they get to be a year
or so old they disappear for days on
end. And soon enough they don't come
back at all the victims of an auto
mobile, a rifle or another torn cat.
A year or so ago, the family ac
quired a Gcrmun Shepherd dog, a male.
And when he grew out of the pup stage
he became a real companion to Father.
He's a smart dog, and he understands,
when one of those times comes along.
And it's been very flattering to
have all those daughters around.
There's nothing quite so inflating to
the male ego as to have a bunch of
adoring females around the house.
A couple of months ago the family
moved into a new house, complete with
something Father 1ms wanted for sev
eral years a den he could call his
own, a place for women to stay out of.
And he'll say this for his family the
women have stayed out. Friends of the

family (hut not particularly friends of
Father) have suggested it would make
a fine nursery, but Mother wouldn't
hear of it. That was Father's room.
Besides, the new baby was going to be
a girl, anyway, and there was no prob
lem doubling up two girls to one room.
And then the boy came.
Visions went through Father's
head, and not particularly pleasant
visions, either.
First off, he figured the boy
wouldn't like horses or newspapers, and
he and father wouldn't have much in
common. Why, the youngster might
turn out to be a piano player, or an
artist, or even a golfer. But Father
figured he could live with the young
man, even then.
The new house was designed for
one male occupant. He made plans to
contact the banker, the architect, and
the builder, in that order, to see where
an extra room could be added.
Then he thought of the den. That
1 was a man's room, he'd told everyone
who'd listen, and unsuited for a nursery.
Oh, he knew some boy babies were born,
to some families, but he d never given
it a thought in his own case. But would
a den make a good nursery if the baby
was a boy?
' Logic said yes, and Father's spirits
sank. But Mother came to his rescue,
figured out a new room arrangement,
and took the old boy off the hook.
Everything is fine now. Father and
the dog are both awaiting the arrival,
home from the hospital, of the new
comer. He'll be welcome and he won't
have to take either the den or the dog
house.

is right now engaged in a study to see
how such a program could be carried
out. The Oregon State Bar Is following
the results of the study, and will con
sider such a program if it is adopted by
the national organization.
It's still a good idea, even if not
original. The ABA is to be commended
for instituting such a study. And if
something comes of it, the Oregon State
Bar would be well-advised to adopt such

among national lawyer organizations in
adopting progressive programs and dis

WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND
Ex-rivals Johnson,. JFK
dovetail executive work
By Drew Pearson
WASHINGTON Today Lyndon
Johnson celebrates his 24th year
of government service. It was on
April 10, 1937, that a tail, gangling
country boy from Texas got off
th train at the Union Station to
become a member of Congress. It
was a fateful day both for Wash
ington and for Lyndon.
Indeed, some have sworn that
the dome of the capitol has some
times resembled his Texas som
brero. Tills impression gained
force during the eight years he
rode herd on the Senate and kept
the political strays in the corral
better than any Senate leader in
history.
He was such a persuasive and
powerful leader, in fact, that the
political wiseacres predicted he
would never be at peace sitting
behind John F. Kennedy. Johnson
had worn the pants in the Demo
cratic family too long, they said,
to work under one of his fresh
men.
They warned that he would try
to run the Kennedy administration
from the back seat, that there
would be a slruggb between head
and tail to rule the dog.
But the dire predictions haven t
come true. Far from competing
for power, Johnson has channeled
his restless energy and enormous
influence in the Kennedy cause.
LBJ & JFK
There was a period, after their
bruising battle for the Democra
tic presidential nomination, that
the two men regarded one anoth
er with cold suspicion. Brother
Bobby was especially chilly. But
the chill thawed under the Florida
sun during their pre-inaugural.
Palm Beach conferences.
The hostility changed to mutual
respect, then frank admiration.
"If you have any legislative
problems," the President told his
first Cabinet meeting, ask the
Vice President. He knows betlcr
than anyone else how to handle
Congress.
Today a genuine warmth exists
between the two men. They fre
quently confer, lunch, and swim
together. Johnson is the only per
son, other than Attorney General
Robert Kennedy, who is allowed
to walk in on the President with
out an appointment.
The tireless and talkative John
son has become the most active
Vice President in history. He
works out of half a dozen offices
between the White House and Cap
itol Hill. In fact, he has a mania
for many offices. But his favorite
an imperial, aquamarine suite
off the Senate floor from which
plush sanctum he oversees the
space program. Peace Corps, and
fair employment drive. He h a s
a d e impressive accomplish
ments in all three.
He has quietly persuaded 52 of
the nation's largest corporations
to pledge an end to job discrimi
nation. For a politician from scg-
gatod Texas, this is revolution-
ar.v.
As a diplomatic trouble-shooter.
he has also taken five trips abroad
for the President. His folksy, corn-
pone approach, greeting people
far-off lands as if he were run
ning for re-election in Texas, has
on friends.
But probably Johnson's most ef
fective work for the Kennedy ad
ministration has been on Capitol
Hill where his persuasive arm.
rapped around a recalcitrant
senator, has changed many a vote.
In all these functions, the Vice
President has kept out of the spot
light, deferring to the President to
take the bows.
What is LBJ?
But what of Lyndon Johnson the
man? Ho isn't the sort of politi
cian who can be described in a
word. Ho is a study of contradic
tions, a curiously complex per
son; a homespun Texas politician
yet a sophisticated world leader.
He can be harsh, brusque and
demanding; yet he is warm, gen
erous and kind. He has a massive
ego which is easily bruised. Vet
he is a political pragmatist who
accepted his defeat in the presi
dential sweepstakes philosophical-
iy.
"I tried out for pitcher," he told
friends with a shrug. "When I lost
out, I stayed on the team as short
slop." He moved coolly and efficiently
into tlie second spot. No one who
knows him doubts that he is aim
ing for the top. But it is typical
of his political acumen that he is
preparing for the day by becom
ing the best possible Vice Presi
dent. "I am trying to be the kind of
Vice President I would want," he
says simply.
Obsessed with work. Johnson Is
a Texas tornado that has some
how been bottled inside the man.
Even a heart attack has slowed
him down only slightly.
The telephone h:is become al
most part of his facial features.
He starts e.irly in the morning on
a bedside phone, jangling aides
and colleagues out of their sleep.
A phone in his limousine permits
him to keep up his calls on the
way to work.
In the office, he has been known
to keep a four-button phone going
on all lines at once. He even plugs

in the phone beside his heated
swimming pool.
He also dictates at a pace that
wears out his stenographers.
Sometimes he uses two at a time,
dictating alternately.
Inside LBJ
But underneath the drive, un
derneath the vanity. Lyndon John
son is a warm, outgoing human
being who can be tender and af
fectionate towards his friends.
Also sentimental, he is easily
touched by a word of praise. After
a depressing day recently, he was
cheered by a quotation he was
shown from a Pakistani taxi dri
ver who had told an American
newswoman:
"Wo taxi drivers get to know
people very well. I, myself, have
driven a king and some of your
senators in my cab. But Mr. John
son was the first 'big man who
came here and looked down at a
common man and made him hap
py." Sighed the Vice President: "No
matter how tough tilings are in
this job, it is all worth while when
taxi driver in narawu wm say
that.
Johnson was also warmed by a
comment from a Negro voter who
had been listening to him cam
paign for Congressman Henry
Gonzalez last year from the rear
of a pickup truck.
"I've lived here all of a long
life," the old Negro told Johnson.
"Never in the wildest night did I
dream that I'd live long enough to
have a white Texas Vice Presi
dent of the United States come to
this corner, be introduced by a
Negro, and get up and appeal to
tlie people to vote for a man nam
ed Gonzalez."
Those who were standing beside
the Vice President, as he bent
over to shake hands, noticed that
his eyes were moist.
New milk
hearings
are sought
SALEM (UPI) Tlie Portland
Milk and Ice Cream Dealers As
sociation and 13 distributors Mon
day asked for new hearings by
the Oregon Agriculture Depart
ment on producer milk prices in
Portland, Salem, Central Oregon,
Roseburg, Corvallis and Eugene.
On March 14, the department
issued an order, effective April 1,
which put 25 Oregon counties into
one huge milk marketing area. It
set a minimum price to producers
of $5.92 per 100 pounds of milk.
The distributors, among other
things, want prices in the Port
land, Salem and Central Oregon
areas re-established at $5.80.
They also want Portland, Salem
and Central Oregon taken out of
the one big market area, a $5.80
price in Roseburg, Eugene and
Corvallis, and waiver of tlie April
1 effective date of tlie $5.92 price
until another hearing is held.
The distributors contend:
An April 1 cut in federal sup
port prices in the Seatue and
Pugct Sound areas could result in
lower priced Washington milk cut
ting into Oregon markets.
The new large milk market
area doesn't comply with tlie law.
Distributors have absorbed a
substantial part of cost increases
in the milk industry compared to
producers.

Through fear of and resentment
to taxation, holders of thousands
of acres of America's finest for

West Coast Lumbermen's Assoc

but to cut it and get it off their

To the Editor:
It is indeed gratifying to hear
of Senator Morse's recent pro
nouncements against the serving
of liquor in the Capitol. The sen
ior senator must hold very strong
convictions to inspire him to ad
dress an empty Senate Chamber
while the President is attending a
reception directly across the hall.
However, one thing does not
add up. I must be somewhat sus
pect of a man w ho takes 18 years
in the Senate to make his objec
tion known to others. Or has he
been loo busy trying to get Red
China admitted to United Nations
to consider this problem. His con
victions must have recently had a
shot in tlie arm.
Could that shot In the arm have
been the realization that this is
an election year? I am tired of
