"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

broached In the Oregon legislature,

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.

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.

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."
She returned to Washington

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." '

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 . '
the man who negotiated
tha
$100 million loan from Russia.
