QUIET LIFE AFTER
Former Oregon Senator Has
; Peaceful Office in Wash
ington Law Firm Feels
Better Than in Years
By John L. Wheeler
AP Oregon Correspondent
WASHINGTON. May 18. (AP)
Jangling belli, calling senators to
rote or to answer a quorum roiic&ii
no longer bother Frederick Stelwer.
He'a away from all "the hubbub"
of Capitol Hill and ho likes it Ilkea
the peace, the quiet, the freedom of
private business.
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. A
Republican, he Is unalternbly opposed
to the administration's general "re
covery" policies,
He Is confident, though, that the
United Btatea "will regain Its stride.'
"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.

The .value of the educnttonal
courses offered In camps of the Med
ford CGC district Is Indicated In a
letter received recently from Vern
Brlckley. former CCC member now
om ployed In Fairbanks, Alaska.
Brlckley served as canteen steward
and assistant educational adviser at
headquarters detachment here two
years aao. He rmphanls the Import
ance of the educational program In
his later work. His letter to district
headqiinrters here follows:
"I'm working In a photographic
shop In Fairbanks. Alaska, the oest
one up here. I've been at It a year
now and I would not exchange It for
any Job you could muster. Too bad
I did not discover photography years
ago.
"I've found that the courses of
study that I battled with In the 3-C'a
have been of most value to me now.
"Already I have earned two raises
In salary and I owe It to my CCC
educational studies. Without It I'd
probably be still earning a beginner's
siilary. Looking back, one might say
that I earned this money while study
ing, but am now receiving It.
"The course In photography that I
took was especially beneficial but
perhaps as Important were the courses
In English and the other commercial
courses.
"1 wish I were In a position to
show the 3-C boys of today how im
portant It la to them to take ad
vantage of the educational opportu
nltles offered them. If this letter can
be used In any way to bring It to
their attention, please use It."

SALT LAKE CITY. May 18 (Pi

lexicon of the P.-T. A. "Jerry-built
babes."
Dr. C. E. Waller of Washington
D, C, assistant surgeon -general of
the U..8. public health service, ad
dressing the national congress of
parents and teachers here, wanted
to describe childish victims of par
ental neglect.
He sought a sharply -turned expres
sion for those pallid, underfed, runny
nosed youngsters, stunted from the
very start by their mothers' improper
pre-natal diet and by Inadequate care
during the early years.' .
Bo he borrowed from architects a
term for shaky construction and said:
"Physicians, nurses and socUl
agencies are compaigntng against .v-Jerry-built
Infants. '
"Proper food, rest and medical sup
ervision are the watchwords of their
campaign.
"Health programs directed toward
mother and child before and after

body, within the limits of his In

proce& of creation."
Dr. Waller, predicting that rickets
and other deficiency diseases of child
hood would be eliminated through
