"Don't think I'm resisting--1 just want to get away and think things over a couple of years' I I earn r t-f i-i'f 1 he ai"1 TAe neighbors can get back to normal, 'now that the party is thing of past A couple of Bend matrons (not too far back you would have called them young women) got an idea a I few weeks back. Each had become 'acquainted with a new arrival in the area. Each had thought of having a few friends in for coffee to meet the newcomer. Each thought the .idea of pooling friends, and new 'comers, and coffee, was a good one. From that little germ spread a dis ease which has loused up two fami lies and a whole neighborhood for a week. First was the momentous deci sion as to which home should be used for the affair. One of the two had recently cleaned her rug; that was enough reason as far as she was concerned to make her the hostess "In location." The other had a new dining room table. The dining room table won. As it turns out that was the simplest decision of the lot. Then came the menu. Morning coffee menus, it seems, have become rather stylized in recent years. You have coffee. Black, or with sugar andor cream. And rolls. Small rolls usually, with and without raisins. A few "cute" napkins, some flowers on the table, and the job is done. But not for this pair. They're both women of imagination, in culi nary and other affairs. This was not to be a "coffee", It was to be a "brunch." And a brunch offers lots more possibilities than a coffee. So to the cookbooks they went. Various recipes were tried on two willing families. All were approved, even if there was an occasional growl about having brunch for dinner. The menu, Instead of being simple, became ex ceedingly complex. For ten days or so various dishes were prepared and placed in home freezers, to be heat ed and served on the big day. Third was the guest list. It soon became apparent that no one house would hold all the persons who simply had to be Invited. The - first idea was a small affair, perhaps . twenty guests. That fell by the way- " Bridge to nowhere ; A staff writer for The Oregon- lan says some are beginning to call Ithe Astorla-Megler bridge, at the ; mouth of the Columbia, "the bridge to nowhere." His discovery Is sev . eral years late. The bridge was cnll ; ed that when the subject was broached In the Oregon legislature, I several years ago. ; The bridge was conceived as a j project of the Astoria chamber of I commerce. (There were too few poi sons on the Washington side to ; make any difference In that state.) ' And now it Is In trouble. '', The work on the bridge Is be ; hind schedule. The contractor claims the problem is because of Inade quate and Improper engineering by the state of Oregon. The highway ; commission, on the spot, claims It has no alternative but to Insist the '. contract be fulfilled as written. The contractor Is suing. Work has prac tically stopped. side as the guest list climbed to over a hundred. The party finally had to be split into two days, with two shifts of guests each day, in order to handle the crowd. The chosen house was cleaned. Boy, was it cleaned. The hostess's family soon found it had lost most of its rights In its own home. The dining room went off limits. One bathroom was set aside for com pany, and woe be unto the youngster who dragged his dirty shoes across Its floor. The front walk was swept until the concrete began to look as if it had been waxed. The dogs were banished to a pen, so they wouldn't get over-friendly. A carefully chosen bunch of flowers arrived, to be used on the dining room table. The note from the florist said they should be kept In a cool place. The heat in one whole end of the house was shut .off to keep those flowers cool. It was still too hot. The flowers would freeze in the garage, so that was out. Finally they were placed in the company bathroom, the door was shut, and the windows were opened. The furnace started running full bore. And so on. The party, as noted above, was scheduled for parts of two days. It became apparent the house could not be kept clean for two days If the family used It on an interim basis. So the family was banished to the house of the other hostess, to sub sist (and very well, thank you) on apple blintzes and a fine chicken liver concoction. The party ended. It was a howl ing success. The families are each back in their own homes. No one cares too much if the rug is soiled. The flowers are ending their days in the heat. The furnace has stopped running, at least running all the time. The dogs are happy again. And both families are (1) proud of Mom, and (2) glad her party-giving Is over for at least a year. Even If the current trouble Is solved to the satisfaction of every one concerned and that appears impossible at this time the entire bunch of troubles is far from solved. In order to pay for the bridge, tolls will have to be set at $12 or more per car. A schedule like that would mean no traffic. So the states will have to subsidize the monstrosity for an indeterminate time. The "bridge to nowhere" Is still a good name. Quotable quotes The minute you mention neu trality, the spirit and backbone go out of the struggle. Sen. Jacob K. Javlts, R-N.Y. in a Senate debate on the possibility of turning South Viet Nam Into a neutral state as suggested by French President Charles de Gaulle. Election year is season full of promises By Zan Stark UPI Staff Wrlttr SALEM (UPI) - This Is an election year, and anyone old enough to know what an elec tion is also knows that this Is the season of the reassuring promise. The slogans of many candi dates might be: "Promise Any thing That Will Win the Vote." Oregon law allows candidates to have a 12-word statement be side their name on the ballot. It is a paradox that Oregon law also forbids campaigning near polling places for most ballot slogans are nothing but adver tising. The statements of this year's legislative hopefuls fall into four i classifications. Some promise ' "Economy," others adopt the "Everything for Everyone" ap proach; there are the "Factual declarations," and the "Boasts." A few mostly veteran legisla tors seeking re-election didn't bother to list ballot statements. When you recall that each legislator will have 89 col leagues, and that the majority rules, the statements are all the more interesting. The "Everything for Every one" statements include: "Equal Rights for all, Special Privileges for None." "My Pledge: Government Economy, Respect Voter Opin ion, Serve with Courtesy and Vigor." "Full Time Work for Minority Groups, Labor, Small Business and Senior Citizens." Then there is the economy block with such as: "The Secret of Lower Taxes Is Reduced Spending." "No Sales or Cigarette Taxes, What is Needed is Plain Effi cient Economy." "More Economy, Less Spend ing." The factual pronouncements take the positive approach: "Incumbent, Now Serving my Tenth Year as Your Legis lator." "Legislative Experience Is Necessary to be Effective. Ore gon Needs Tax Structure Revi sion." "It's Getting Harder and Harder to Support Government In Manner it's Accustomed." Or the simple "Experienced Legislator" pronouncement used by a man who is not now in the legislature. The boast also embodies the positive approach: "A Successful Business Man Who Understands the Working Man's Problems." "Re-elect a Life Republican demanding Tax Relief and Tax Reform." "Hard, Honest Work for all of Eastern Oregon." With this year's crop of can didates espousing such ideals, maybe Oregon's governmental outlook isn't so dark after all. Candidacy set by Lyle Dean PORTLAND (UPI) - Lyle Dean, 37, said Thursday he will seek the Republican nomination for the 3rd District congression al seat now held by Democrat Edith Green. Dean, an unsuccessful candi date for the chairmanship of the Multnomah County Republi can Central Committee, is an elementary school teacher. He also made ah unsuccessful bid for Multnomah County commis sioner in 1960. The nomination on the Repub lican ticket is also being sought by Jim Bacaloff, a Portland contractor.

Algeria poses Much depends upon how Margaret Chase Contradictory Smith does in New Hampshire primary sfgnd On U.S. By Yvonna Franklin Bulletin Correspondent WASHINGTON - Sen. Mar garet Chase Smith may cam paign in Oregon before the May IS primary, however much de pends upon how well she does in the March 10 New Hamp shire primary. "It's out of the question now," she said in an interview this week, because of the press of congressional business. Sen. Smith also Indicated that she had approved the action ta ken by Democrat James B. Daniels and Republican Al Phelps, Salem, who got up a pe tition to put her name on the Oregon ballot. She confirmed that she had written to them, saying in part: ". . .that I would have no ob jection and would be pleased for them to go ahead and do what they wanted to do. . .also that I was concentrating on New Hampshire at present." But she told them she would keep Ore gon in mind and would consid er campaigning before the pri mary. Sen. Smith, In Congress 23 years, is proud of her unblem ished voting record and her many years of "standing up and being counted on controversial issues" and is aggrieved that some people think that her candidacy "muddies the wa ters" in the primaries. It lrri- Some people really wrapped up in doughnuts By Dick Watt UPI Staff Wrlt.r WASHINGTON (UPI) - I have no statistics to support this statement, but I dare say that the average American goes through life without ever giving more than a passing thought to doughnuts. We either take doughnuts or we leave them alone. We do not, as a rule, spend much time contemplating doughnuts. There are people in this country, however, who are wrapped up in doughnuts. Peop le who spend their waking moments thinking about dough nuts and who dream of them while asleep. People who can spend hours talking about doughnuts and never tire of the subject. People for whom the doughnut has boundless fascination. Peop le who are concerned about the doughnut image and are devot ed to its improvement. I met up with such a group this week at a coffee and doughnut reception hosted by. Speaker John W. McCormack, D-Mass., at the Capitol. It was a revelation to me. I was both filled in and filled up on doughnuts by Harry Winokur, a big doughnut ty coon from Boston, and some of his associates In the "Mister Do nut" company. "Dramatic things are happen ing in doughnuts," Winokur said. "The nation is teeming with doughnut drive-ins. It's the biggest step forward since the invention of the hole." "Even the shape of dough nuts is changing," said David B. Slater, the company presi dent. "They now come in 44 varieties, including one with a handle for dipping in coffee." "We call it dipping rather than dunking," said Carl Zuch er. the advertising director. "Dipping with a doughnut han dle is approved by Emily Post." "The doughnut has changed from something you dunk in coffee to something you serve on a silver tray," said Mrs. Winokur, the cultural adviser. "Some doughnuts are as ele gant as French pastry," Slater said. "But everything Is made with doughnut dough and is fried like a doughnut." "If you baked a doughnut. It would taste like sponge cake," Winokur said. "A doughnut drive-in In Flor ida has a customer who feeds doughnuts to his horse." said Zucher. "The horse prefers toasted coconut doughnuts." "Our company has Its own research and development de partment," Slater said. "We're on the verge of something rev olutionary in doughnuts. I can't tell you what it is but it will be the greatest thing since the invention of the hole." So be It. Onward and upward with doughnuts. tates her that people question whether she is a serious candi date. "My answer has been that I don't get up at six o'clock just for the fun of it," she scoffed. "I thought a primary was for the purpose of permitting all who wanted to become candi dates to do so, and I was tak ing advantage of it." She has been campaigning for the past week in snowy below zero New Hampshire, getting up at dawn and, traveling by car, meeting the people until late in the evening. Her low-budget campaign con sists of introducing herself to individual voters, discussing the issues in small gatherings, meeting newspaper editors in small towns. She said the re sponse had been good. She also said wistfully that it would be nice to have the cam paign funds that Rockefeller and Goldwater have elabor ate headquarters, buses for a large staff and the press everything that money can buy. "If it weren't for my policy of staying here for the voting, I would go back up there and stay for three weeks," she de clared. "I think there Is a very large uncommitted vote up there available to somebody."

Pointing with pride to the fact that she has never ducked an issue or a vote, she also noted that she has had more legisla tive experience than any of the announced Republican candi dates. She favors civil rights legisla tion, federal aid to education, medicare for the aged and has supported foreign aid and de fense spending. She is on the Armed Services Committee and also serves on the sought after Appropriations Committee. She voted against the test ban trea ty and against selling wheat to Russia, and against aid to Yu goslavia and Poland. When asked how she feels when people suggest that a woman isn't qualified to be president either emotionally, physically or intellectually, she would not allow herself to be drawn into the battle of the sexes. She contented herself by saying, "Look at my record. . .1 stood up and was counted on all con troversial Issues. . .1 have only missed one vote in 23 years on account of illness." The question left hanging In the air was could all the male candidates say the same? i ! on Meiry-go-KMind New tack in relations with Cuba may come from talks By Draw Pearson WASHINGTON - The most Important result which could come out of the Johnson Lopez Mateos talks is a new tack in our relations with Fidel Castro. The subject is almost certain to be discussed. The President of Mexico Is in the unique position where he is a good friend of the United States and has reasonably friendly relations with Cuba. He personally has no love for the grandstanding Cuban leader, but his country is sympathetic to the Cuban uprising because Mexico went through somewhat the same social revolution itself in 1910 when it seized American property, just as Castro has done, and had even bloodier re lations with the United States. During the period following the Mexican Revolution, Pancho Villa raided across the border, robbing, pillaging, killing 16 Americans at Columbus, N.M. The great cattle ranches of Am ericans were seized. The arm ies of Madero, Obregon, Carran za, and Huerta fought back and forth, with American citizens, property, and goodwill caught in between. For some twenty years, rela tions between the United States and Mexico could hardly have been worse. Lopez Mateos knows this, therefore under stands the bitterness between Cuba and the United States bet ter than any other Pan-American leader. There have been discreet queries by Mexico In the past suggesting the possibil ity of using its good offices to straighten out relations between its two neighbors. But the State Department has been cool. However, certain new factors have developed inside Cuba which eventually will c h a n g e the picture. Here are some of them? 1. Castro has stated publicly that he wants to improve rela tions with the United States. He stated this even in speech in Moscow last May. 2. President Dortlcos of Cuba, who doesn't always like Castro, has confided to foreign diplo mats that Cuba must resume relations with the United States. The USA is too close, and its trade is too important, he said. He made the further statement that Cuba would be willing to pay for American property seis ed. 3. The Russians are getting weary of paying the foreign aid bill to Cuba just as the Am erican taxpayers are weary of foreign aid. There have been broad hints to the United States by Russian leaders that they hope Cuba and the United States can patch up their dif ferences. Upcoming U.S. elections make it difficult for any American President, no matter what his politics, to accept any compro mise settlement with Cuba. Nevertheless, with our close al lies the British and the French coming to Fidel Castro's eco nomic rescue, it looks as if he is going to be around for some time, and the good offices of a friendly President of Mexico might be helpful. LBJ't Latett Economy House Parliamentarian Lew Deschler, a longtime friend of LBJ, points out new Johnson economy. For years, Johnson always signed his name with a large scrawl, but he has reduced the nia of his signature by about half since entering the White House. "Obviously," says Deschler, "he is trying to save ink." Con Mucho Gusto As President Johnson meets Mexico's President Lopez Ma teos, border trouble between the two countries has been all but wiped out. Immigration Commissioner Ray Farrell, who heads the border patrol, has reported to the President that our southern border is now as peaceful as our northern border. "Courtesy and cooperation" along both borders, he reported, have been high. As an example, the Immigra tion Service helped arrange for group of Mexican orphans and musicians to visit Califor nia's Disneyland last year. Mr. and Mrs. Gerald C. Grimm, who accompanied the children, wrote a warm thank you letter to the Immigration Service, reporting that the Mex ican children were "thrilled." "Above all," wrote the Grimms, "they will cherish the m e m o r y of how Americans opened up their hearts and homes to those of another na tion. It was evident at the time of departure, by the embraces and tears, that both countries benefited by this visit. "Four of the group will have their musical education guaran teed. One blind fellow is to be taken to our best eye specialist, since there is a possibility that his sight can be restored in one eye." At Brownsville, Tex., Immi gration officials recently per mitted busloads of Mexican mu sicians to cross the border and shop in Brownsville without red tape and individual inspection. The grateful orchestra leader, Marques Salvador, also wrote a letter expressing his "sincere appreciation for the facilities and attention that we received during our brief stay." ' By Phil Newtom UPI Staff Wrltar In President Ahmed Ben Bel la's socialist Algeria nearly two million jobless Algerians de pend upon food sent from the United States. The total is about one-fifth of the popula tion. Ben Bella publicly has recog nized the U.S. aid, and yet in the same breath says the "Al gerian people are in solidarity with the heroic people of Cuba" and that Algeria will "do everything in her power to help fraternal Cuba in its just strug gle for independence against the machinations of Imperial ism." . . Other Contradictioni These are not the only con tradictions of an Algeria which struggles for identity as a lead er of African nationalism, keeps a foot in the door of Arab unity, suffers from the In security of strongman rule and reaps the benefits of the strug gle between the Communist and non-Communist world. U. S. shipments of wheatfl milk, beans and vegetable oils is valued at roughly $3.5 mil lion per month. As an avowed socialist, Ben Bella leans first toward Egypt and then toward the Soviet Un ion. Egyptian Mig fighter planes arrived from Egypt to help Ben Bella in his border war with Morocco. Russian-built .tanks came from Cuba. A Russian loan of $100 mil lion placed the Soviet Union in a position second only to France in financial aid to Al geria. And yet without nearly $300 million annually in aid from France, Algeria could not exist as an independent nation. Offers Of Aid Algeria's ties with the Arab world brought offers of aid from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Egypt. Red China also chipped b. But, Internally, Algeria's af fairs remain in a state of al most unbelievable chaos. Ben Bella has declared that in his brand of socialism there is room for private investment. But last September and Octo ber he took over the last 4,000 French-run farms and hundreds of small factories, cafes, bak eries and hotels. It would, he said, place the means of pro duction "in the hands of the workers." But, translated Into hard fig ures, this has meant by official estimate that of 31.000 tractors on Algerian farms in 1960 un der French rule, the number by the first of this month had declined to 7,000 with 2,400 out of commission. In the cities, It Is estimated that half the population is out of work. Apartments Now Slums Squatters have turned apart ment houses once occupied by foreigners into slums at an es timated cost to the government of $50 million annually. Calls for austerity within the government have meant little. The army especially takes good care of itself. Since the Moroccan dispute its size has jumped from 45,000 to 65,000. Army officers enjoy the bene fits of a $100,000 seaside club and buy goods duty free. Army privates are among the highest paid in the world. With dissatisfaction In the cities and lethargy In the coun tryside, Ben Bella must depend upon the army. The army is led by Col Hou ari Boumedienne, defense min ister and vice president, and .
