Feb. fl (U.R) I was 1935 and Walter Norblad war. just trying on his spurs for size as a mem bcr oi the Ore gon state legis lature. Norblad snied a friend on the floor. It was an old col lege chum who w a i working his w through the deDression a page boy Norblad stroll ed over, sat down and nlamofl tho hanA nf his chum, Ahmit that time Earl Snell then Secretary of State for Ore cmn rntne bouncing onto the floor with a letter in his hand, r It U turn "hrtVi" ATlf! Uant a finOPr t Walt. "Boy." he said, "take this let- far in thp envernor's officel Walt Norblad, not wanting to nrimit that, at 24, he was the youngest member of the Oregon Ml Harmao Nichols Local Pear Firms Protest ainst A&P Suit Register Ag Two of Oregon's largest pear shippers announced here today they have protested the govern ment's anti-trust suit against the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea company. Spokesmen for Southern Ore- eon bales, inc., ana rinnacie Parkins comDanv reported com' plaints had been written to United States Attorney General J. Howard McGrath, Senators Guy Cordon and Wayne Morse and to rtep. narria Aiiswurm. S. M. Tuttle. General manager of SOS. said he requested the "ridiculous action ... be dropped because it is harmful to both producer and consumer." r'Ko Juatiea" "We cannot see any justice in prosecuting an organization that is doing an outstanding Job of rendering fair returns to grow ers and, at tne same time, pric ing their product within the reach of the consumer," he wrote. "The A. 4c P. has per formed a very creditable Job in both respects. Tuttle emphasized that if his growers are to continue in busi ness "it is mandatory that they take advantage of every econo my possible in production, pro cessing and distribution." He said the great majority of Rogue river valley fruit moves from 2,000 to 2,500 miles or more be fore it reaches the consumer. H. B. Murphy, head of the Pinnacle firm, said he wrote that if A. & P. and other similar or ganizations are broken up be cause of their bigness "the con sumer's food is going to cost him more money and the farmer is going to receive a smaller share of the consumer's dollar." Never Aikad Discounts Murphy added that his firm has done considerable business with the food chain for a num ber of years and they have never asked for discounts or considera tions that would give them bene fits not available t their com petitors. He said also the fresh fruit in dustry has been forced to find more outlets In the domestic market because of the loss of the foreign market and producers are now handling twice the volume of pre-war days. "We are 'confident." Murphy wrote, "that we could not have moved our product had it not been for such organizations as A. St P." house, saluted, took the letter and delivered it. That was the first brush our man. who now is the representa tive from the first district of Oregon, ever had with politics He's been having brushes ever since. Sometimes you can brush the congressman back, sometimes you can't. No Social Life The first thine he did when he arrived on the Washington scene was to become the numbei one "No" man in taking part in the whirl of social life here. "It's the biggest waste of time I ever saw," he told me. "These folks spend all that money on liquor ana looa ana lor wnai: II they want to see me ior any thine, the door is open." The congressman's door is opening and closing most of the time to people irom nis aisirici, In fact, the 41-year-old Oregon- ian is one oi the busiest legisia tors from the west. "People from the dairy itates have one thing to worry about the dairy interest," Norblad said "Those reoresentine the wheat- growing states worry only about wheat. But I have a multitude of things to keep me humping, in cluding tne dairy interest. Norblad explained further. Inieresii Varied His district in Oregon rough ly is 180 miles one way and 180 miles another and contains about a half million people. All oi tne interests vou can think of. And he thinks of all of them all of the time. In the far northwestern cor ner of his district live the Finns; great salmon fishermen. Quili- properly these peope are con cerned aoout tneir i vi-uuuuu, and so is the conerc an. But to the east, along tin- alumbia river, are the flood control pro jects. The Finns object that the salmon can't make it uphill over those high dams to get to their spawning waters. Flood interests disagree. "I tried to solve this.'' the con gressman said, "by fighting for federal funds for salmon hatch eries. Truck Farmers Interested Other interests in the same district concern folks who make livine out of Droducing fil berts, cherries, walnuts, products from the truck farms, ana prunes not to mention one of the biggest industries in the west lumbering. Also," he added, balem, mc state capital, is in my district. 1 get a lot of requests for hell from there, which maybe choulo go to some of the other congress men from Oregon. And Oregon State college, the agriculture school at Corvallis, is in my dist rict. I got a lot of requests from there, too. All of this brings in a lot of mail, which averages SOU let ters a week.
