The former Oregon senator, who resigned January 31, eleven months before the expiration or his aecona term, to accept a partnership in a Washington law firm, occupies a comfortable appearing office over looking a shaded downtown park. There, with a small staff, he con cerns himself with esses which so far have Involved largely trade com mission and court of claims matters Looking Well The "senator" his friends 'decline to call him Just plain "mister" 1b looking well. "Feel better than any time since before 1 went to Denver In 1938 for an operation," he remarked. His physical condition. Stelwer said had been one of the determining fac tors In his decision not to complete his term. "I might have stayed on to the end If 1 had not been alarmed by the state of my health," he explained Stelwer's office Is filled with me mentos of 11 eventful years In the senate -gavels, photographs, congres sional records. He also Is reminded by large pic tures of majestic Mt. Hood and moon shaped Cannon Beach that he Is an Oregonlan "first, last and always." "The only thing 1 didn't rare to have among my souvenirs was a bell" he laugh etj, "They do get on your nerves, you know like the bugle does In the army. After all congress men are something like privates In an army." Interested Observer - The "senator" remains an Interest ed observer of the political scene.

"However he added, "there will be no real prosperity In America until the American economic system li per mitted to function without unreason able federal restraints. "When the people most af toe tod namely the laborer and the destitute find that honest Jobs In private Industry are preferable to government relief will be possible to reawaken the spirit of American enterprise. "In the . meantime we wUl be obliged to endure the experiments of the political theorists who honey comb the new deal." He termed the administration's projected renewal of spending ana lending "an expedient and not a real cure" but added that something should be done to care for the desti tute "until things get straightened I out." Returning In Summer The senator expects to return to Oregon "about the middle of the aummrr" and will establish an office In Portland. "I expect to spend part ot each year In Portland." he said. Asked If he would help the Repub licans campaign In Oregon next fall he replied It would depend upon hie health. "Just aay I'm going home for busi ness and pleasure," he said. Although Carl Donaugh, Oregon U a district attorney, has suggested that a new circuit court of uppeals be set up to handle Pacific uorthwest cases, the congressional delegation from that region has taken no action When Donaugh was In Washington a few months ro he discussed thf matter with justice department offj. rials and with Oregon representatives The Justice department's attitude. Is not known. Creation ot a new cir cuit court requires legislation, but no congressman has steeped forward I with a bill. t v J H it 4kLLJt 4 ; A .
