Section" 3 Page 3.. THE CAPITAL JOURNAL Salem, Oregon, Wednesday, January 9, 1957 Washington Scene . . . By Lillian Porter Say WASHINGTON, D.C., Jan. 9 Cameras whirred in the House ot Representatives as the 85th Con gress stood with uplifted hand to take the oath ot office. Excitement Ind pride were in the faces of wives (and also husbands) In the galler ies. Small fry were quiet. The moment passed and there came a sibilant whisper from the press: ''They're on the pay roll now!" Newly elected members from Oregon are very much familicd. With Consrcssman Al I'llman of Baker on the House floor with his son, Kenneth, 11. With his father was Donald, 12, son of Congress man i narlcs O. Porter of Eugene. The other young lillmans, Anita Jo, 13, and Wayne, 4, were with their mother. Also with their mother were Christopher 7, Sammy 4 and 18-months-o;d Anne Porter. Acting page for the day for his mother was Dick, 14, son of Con- ercsswoman Edith Green of Port land. In the gallery were her oldest con and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. James S. Green. Visiting ladies aV the first ses sion of the House were dressy. Dramatic was the brunette in a white hat and matching white fox muff. The doorkeeper did not know her name. "She was kinda pushed in with the wife of a member of the House," he said. Evident was the violet touch violet gloves, blouses, and matching costume jewelry worn with dark suits and white hats. There was a sprinkling of brilliant greens, turquoise, and reds. Only congresswomcn wear ing elaborate corsages were Rep resentatives Marguerite S. Church R) of Illinois and veteran Edith Nourse Rogers (R) of Massachu setts. Each wore floral tributes from home. Earlier we had met Senator Margaret Chase Smith of Maine wearing her trademark, a single talisman rose on her tai lored dress. Amid sound of hammers of work men preparing for their TV and radio coverage at the Inaugural in the crypt of the Capitol we ran into . short service honoring the birthday of Lucrctia Coffin Mott. She's the tiny face in the Quaker bonnet who shares a spot with Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony in the statute of the three suffragists. The late scupltor Adelaide Johnson who did these women described her work as "a statue showing women arising from a cloud of prejudice." Less idealistic Capitol workers dub the trio, the ladies of the bath tub. On this occasion Lucretia Mott was honored by the National Wom an's Party and other organizations seeking to carry to a conclusion the movement for the emancipa tion of women begun by Lucretia Mott and her colleagues. The Equal Rights Amendment, popu larly known as the Lucrctia Mott Amendment reads: "Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex." With 275 votes promised for the House of Representatives in the 83th Congress and 57 votes promised in the Senate, its propon ents are hopeful that the amend ment will be passed by Congress. Speaker at the wreath-laying cere mony on Jan. 3, was Senator John Marshall Butler lt of Maryland. Since Lucretia Mott was a well known Quaker minister in Massa chusetts, the ceremony ended ap propriately with a benediction by one of Washington's few women ministers, the Rev. Miss Etta Gil ford. : At the historic Equal Rights for Women Convention at Seneca Falls 1848 the entire country was rocked. Wrote an editor, full of dire forebodings: Before the morning of the twen tieth century dawns, women will not simply fill the offices of Regis ter of Deeds. they will occupy seats in your Legislative Halls, on vour Judicial Benches, and in the Executive Chairs of State ana oi Nation. We deprecate it, yet we perceive its inevitability, and wait thj shock with firmness and composure." Following the Lucretia Mott ob servance we were invited to tea at the National Woman's Party headquarters on Constitution ave nue. Here hostess Alice Paul pre sided in the firelit parlor. Proud are the ladies of the silver service that belonged to the famous Civil War Nurse, Clara Barton, and has her name engraved on it. Here, too. is a desk of Susan B. Anthony and a chair of Elizabeth Cady Stanton. In the entrance hall is a marble statue of Joanne d'Arc that was insured for $70,000 when it was sent to this historic house from France. We saw its only duplicate in the Cathedral of Rlieims. At the rear or the Na tional Woman's Party headquar ters is the only suffragist library in America. Librarian is Miss Sarah Chorn who knows the be ginnings of this library which is housed in what was once a car riage house. First social event for members of the 85th Congress was the Women's National Press Club ban quet to welcome them. Present was the entire Oregon delegation with their wives with the exception of Representative Walter Norblad and Mrs. Norblad ot stayion, wno were out of the city. Giving the evening a true western flavor was the club's president, Alice Frcln Johnson of the Seattle Daily Times. Hit of the evening was a swarthy Indian, Democratic Con gressman D. S. Saud of Cali fornia. He relerrca to nis ciecuon as a livine examnle of American democracy at work and promised to go to India "to retute me in sidious propaganda of the Commu nists that there is a prejudice in America" against his people. Quietly listening to him was his wife, Mrs. Saud. Earlier she told us that none of their children came to Washington with them. Two are married and have fami lies. The only unmarried one is "Elly", a junior in the University of California at Los Angeles. Only woman among the speakers was Republican Congresswoman nor ence P. Dwycr of Elizabeth, New Jersey. She advocated that women ally themselves with a party and work for it. "Independence of though party-wise," she said, "does not get women eiccieo 10 ouices. In the Congressional room of Hotel Statler following the banquet Rep resentative Saud met Senator Mar- caret Chase Smith and former Amhassador to Italy Clare Boothe Luce "Two women I've long wanted to meet both Republicans who co-authored the bill that en abled me to become an American citizen." On the shoulder of her black evening gown Mrs. Luce wore Italy's Grand Order of Merit, a recent decoration presented to her before she resigned as ambas I sador.
