FROM
Peg in Washington ,
Washington, D. C, Feb. 15
Dear Marian:
Sandwiched in between an "American
Pioneer Dinner" Tuesday night and the Ore
gon State society dinner Friday night of
which I wrote yesterday, was the trip of
Secretary and Mrs. Douglas McKay to Mich
igan and Minnesota. The Secretary had been
asked by the Republican National Commit
tee to give Lincoln Day talks at Saginaw
and Minneapolis.
First, about the American Pioneer Din
ner. The American Automobile Association
honored the National Park Service of the
Interior Department wilh the dinner and
Secretary McKav was desisnated a joint
host with the AAA. About 375 people gath
ered in the Interior Cafeteria, including
Congressional members and officials of the
Department. The principal feature was buf
falo and elk meat, which was specially
prepared by being, marinated for several
days in vinegar, onions and spices, and
then cooked slowly in the oven. Custer
.tatc Park in South Dakota supplied the
meat, as there has been overstocking on
the range there and some of the older ani
mals have been killed to protect the re
mainder of the herds, which arc maintained
by the governments of several states as
well as the federal government. With the
fruit punch served before -the dinner, a
sizeable Chinook salmon, stuffed with crab
meat and wilh garnishment of shrimps
about the platter, was a great treat. Some
specially selected Disney pictures of animal
iifc in several of the national parks were
shown following the dinner.
Roth in Saginaw and Minneapolis, the
McKavs were warmly received. At the for
mer city, the dinner was served in the
Civic Auditorium with 350 in the audience.
Prior to the dinner the Women's Re
publican club entertained in honor of Mrs.
McKay at the Shrine club. Men, too, at
tended the party and the Secretary dashed
in for a few minutes between a radio pro
gram and a later television appearance.
At Minneapolis, around 800 people gath
ered at the Radisson Hotel. A party honor
ing Secretary and Mrs. McKay was given
before the dinner at the Minneapolis club
and there they met several former friends,
including Mr. and Mrs. Howard Stoddard,
formerly of La Grande. Mr. Stoddard, a
University of Oregon graduate, is a Minne
apolis banker. Russell Koss of Minneapolis,
who was a supply sergeant at ( amp Adair
with Secretary McKay in World War II,
and Howard Cooper of Duluth, a former
Portland resident and at Oregon State with
the Secretary, were others renewing ac
quaintances. And a special and very pleas
ant surprise at the dinner was the ap
pearance of Mr. and Mrs. William Stevenson

BY ALENE (PEG) PHILLIPS-
of Stillwater, who lived in Salem when Mr.
Stevenson was assistant state director of
finance and administration. R. M. Kelly,
formerly superintendent of the Chemawa
Indian School, and now wilh the Indian
Service at Minneapolis, greeted the Secre
tary, as did Donald Smith, of Pendleton,
who is working on his doctor's degree at the
University of Minnesota. Mr. and Mrs.
George Pillsbury, of Minneapolis, who lived
fc. a year or so in Portland when he was
with the Pillsbury Company's Oregon
branch, were special hosts for the McKays
at Minneapolis. One thing that impressed us
was the cordial and informal manner in
which the various committee members at
both Saginaw and Minneapolis immediately
established a "folksy" feeling. One left each
place with a sense of having made some
permanent frinds and the exchanges of
"be sure to come back" and 'look us up in
Washington" had a western flavor.
It was good that the welcome was warm
as the temperature during the niRht in
Minneapolis was 10 below zero, and when '
we left the hotel for the 7:30 a.m. plane it1
had not gone above the zero mark. Frozen
rivers and lakes spotted the landscape be
low. One advantage was that wilh the clear
skies our plane schedules clicked and we
were not one minute off schedule as we
landed at the National Airport in Wash
ington early Friday "afternoon.
Enroute from Michigan to Minncapols,
we shared the forward lounge compartment
on the plane with five members of the
Baltimore Bullets, professional basketball
team. Among them was the famous star Bob
Houbreg, former University of Washington
All-American player, rind by a coincidence,
before they joined us I had been reading
in the current issue of Collier's about his
remarkable hook shot and looking at the
pictures of him and his teammates. By the
height of the men, we had immediately
labeled them basketball players when we
had seen them at the Detroit airport, but
did not know they were the Baltimore
team. Mrs. McKay had the star autograph
the Collier's article for a grandson. We
helped the crack player convince his team
mates of the glories of the Pacific North
west as we lunched enroute..
Secretary McKay and Larry Smyth drove
lo Atlantic City Sunday afternoon, return
ing this afternoon following the Secretary's
morning appearance before the national
convention of the American Association of
School Administrators where he delivered
a message from President Eisenhower. It
was another of his quick trips, squeezed in
between official obligations here in Wash
ington. So continues the Washington pace.
