There'll Be No Drinks
If Mrs. Kerr Becomes
Nation's First Lady
Editor's note: Thli ti the
fourth in a leriet about pros
pective official business of
Democratic c a n d 1 dates for
President.
Washington (U.R) If Mrs.
Robert S. Kerr becomes mistress
of the White House, Winston
Churchill will have to bring his
own brandy should he come for
a state visit.
The senator from Oklahoma, a
candidate for the Democratic
presidential nomination, and his
attractive, honey-blonde wife are
strict teetotalers.
Liquor Never Served
Liquor is never even served in
their home.
The Kerr's views on drinking
are personal, based on religious
convictions. They don't object
when other people drink.
"We don't care for it, but we
don't criticize people who do,
Mrs. Kerr says.
Grace Breene Kerr is 51 and
the mother of four children, but
she has looks any school girl
' would envy. She is slim, lithe,
and carries herself so gracefully
that she stands out in any crowd.
She has blue eyes and a fair
complexion.
Af s fert in inrhps sh in the
midget of the Kerr household.
The senator, a mere 6-feet-3, is
overshadowed by his three sons.
Bob Jr. and Bill are 6-feet-4, and
Breene is 6-feet-6. Kay, a pretty
brunette, measures 5 feet,
inches.
Kay, 20, is a junior at Welles
ley, and her mother worries lest
she study so much she doesn't
have time for fun. "This younger
generation is so serious," Mrs.
Kerr said.
Bob Jr., 25, a lieutenant in the
Army, has just left for Korea.
He is married and has a 16-month-old
son. Breene, 23, is a
lieutenant stationed at Ft. Mon
mouth, N. J. He is married, too.
Billy, 14, is the only one now
living at home. He attends the
Quaker High school in Wash
ington. The senator is a Baptist
and Mrs. Kerr is a Christian
Scientist.
Is Meno Soprano
Mrs. Kerr has a lovely mezzo-
soprano voice and once had am
bitions to be a concert singer.
But that was before she met
Bob Kerr, then a young lawyer,
on a tennis court in Ada, Okla.
Home, husband, and children
have always come first with
Grace Kerr, even though her
husband is an oil millionaire,
has served one term as governor
of Oklahoma, and now is in his
second term in the Senate.
She is intelligent, an easy con
versationalist and well-read, but
admittedly is "not socially-inclined."
In Washington, the Kerrs live
in a comparatively small four
bedroom but beautifully furnish
ed house in one of Washington
most attractive suburbs.

Board of Control will propose
to the 1953 legislature a plan

the approval of the legislature
since that body must appropri
ate the funds, would be to build
the structure over three bien
niums, with a third of construc
tion in each biennium.
" First reconstruction would in
volve the center section, which
Includes the (jining room and

Secretary of State Earl T.
Newby said the legislators
may decide the present building
is too valuable to tear down at

WON'T , CAMPAIGN UNLESS NOMINATED Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, speaking to reporters at
press conference at Paris, explains that pressures brought aoout Dy the "Ike for Presidenc"
campaign "practically compel me to wait no longer in asking- for release" from his job as

ommend the first general salary
increases for stp.te workers since
Nov. 1, 195U, according to Di
rector James M. Clinton.
A public hearing will be held
on the proposed revision April
28.
Based on Survey
Salary changes are based on a
survey of salaries for like work
in private industry in the North
west and other public jurisdic
tion. In addition to rates being
paid in private industry, the
commission considered the 8.2
per cent increase in living costs
since November, 1950, and the
state's financial condition.
The commission emphasized
that the tentative proposal is not
an across the board increase for
state workers but an adjustment
in salary ranges for individual
classifications to bring them into
line with the findings of the
salary survey and to enable the
state to recruit skilled workers,
technicians, administrative and
professional personnel.
Under General Level
The increase in general wage
levels for employees in private
industry since November, 1950,
has been 8.5 per cent. The rec
ommended increase for state
workers is 4.7 per cent.
The increases range from $7 a
