Wife of Iowa's Governor
Has "Open' Door" Policy
By MARY MANION
United Press Correspondent
Des Moines (U.R) .The
wife of Iowa's governor enter
tains thousands of visitors in the
executive mansion under an
"open door" policy.
Since throwing open the doors
to the governor's stately home
early this year, Mrs. Leo A.
Hoegh has learned it's possible
to play hostess to a statewide
guest list without too much wear
and tear.
About 6,000 Iowans have visit
ed her on the open house days,
Tuesdays and Thursdays. It all
runs smoothly although at times
there have been 80 persons in
side and 200 outside waiting to
get in. "
Mrs., Hoegh keeps refresh
ments simple, has volunteer help
and leaves the . visitors to their
own devices.
Although the -open house dates
keep her on her feet for two
hours, "they're not as overbur
densome as things that take me
away from home."
Other Visitors
But the visitors who come on
open house days are only a part
of the people who drop in at
the governor's house. .
Ch u r c h delegations from
around the state visit on Sun
days. Tradespeople or neighbors
who come to the back door are
always invited in for coffee at
the kitchen table. Then too,
there are unscheduled callers
who may turn up any time.
' But the attractive gray-haired
first lady, mother of two girls
aged 6 and 11, is naturally friend
ly and takes it in stride.
"I was glad to find people
were interested in the governor's
mansion and wanted to come,"
she said.
"When they're interested in
the house ftself and the people
who live here, they're also in
terested in state government,
she said. "They, become more
aware of things going on in Des
Moines as it affects them."
A majority of visitors are
women, of course.
Suspended For Summer
A woman likes to see an
other woman's house," she said.
"We're just made that way. Af
ter they see the mansion, they
usually go to see . the state-
house, j
"We want people to feel they
are a part of state government.
The more they have to do with
A Tribute To The
Toastmaster s Club
"For it's always fair weather when Toastmasters
get together!" That's a new version of the old
song that is highly apropos at any gathering of
these exhuberant Masters of Ceremony! Toast
masters are the spark plugs of banquets, lunch
eon meetings, club affairs and innumerable
other parties where an orderly presentation of
speakers or activities must be maintained. When
the professional toastmasters have their, own

the standard .of parliamentary procedure is per

it, the better citizens they be
come."
The open house dates have
been suspended during the sum
mer, but will be resumed once
a week in the fall. She said she
did not expect quite as many
visitors then because the legis
lature will not be in session.
Mrs. Hoegh said she decided
on opening the governor's house
to return the warm reception
she got from Iowans when she
went around the state with her
husband during his election cam
paign. , .
She admitted, with a twinkle
in her brown eyes, that enter
taining visitors from 99 coun
ties "costs a little." The parties
are paid for out of the Hoeghs'
personal funds.
Simple Refreshments
She economizes by serving re
freshments, usually coffee or tea
with homemade cookies; mints
or nuts spread on a dining room
table decorated with flowers.
A cateress is the" only extra
paid help. She bakes 45 to 55
dozen cookies one. day a week
in the mansion. The cookies are
kept in a home freezer to avoid
waste.
Friends and members of the
Iowa Legislature. Ladies League
help as hostesses and. take groups
through the mansion. -
Most of the visitors want to
look through the colonial red
brick mansion which has a
white-pillared circular porch.
The house has antiques as well
as furnishings of historical in
terest. When the crowds are small,
the guests are invited to sit
down and talk together. The
open houses have averaged
about 200 persons.

Social Activities
At YMCA Continue;
More Help Needed
The next in a series of social
activities promoted by the Med
ford YMCA Youth council is
scheduled for Monday, following
a council meeting set for 8 p.m.,
it was announced Saturday.
Monday's event, a dance, was
postponed from Saturday night.
It will be open to all teenagers.
The series of activities is being
sponsored this year by the coun
cil for the first time. So far,
crowds of from 150 to 200 young
people have been attending the
events, which are usually held
on Saturdays.
Work Help Needed
Lee Ragsdale, adult advisor of
the Younth council committee,
reports that more boys and girls
are needed to help work out
plans for volley ball, badminton,
mixed swimming, and dancing,
and to be door keepers, decora
tors, receptionists, and to work
on cleanup committees. -
If enough young people turn
out to help with these phases of
the programs, the Saturday
night programs will continue,
Ragsdale said.
He also pointed out the need
for at least four adult couples to
serve as chaperones for the Sat
urday night programs. Those
who are willing to serve in this
capacity are requested to con
tact the YMCA office, Ragsdale
said.
Head of Refugee
Program Expresses
Views on Her Work
By SUSAN WAGNER
United Press Correspondent
Washington (U.R) Mrs. Doro
thy D. Houghton, head of the
government's refugee programs,
says she is no feminist.
; "But if all the women of the
world knew and understood each
other, there would be no wars,"
she said in an interview.
One of the top women in the
Eisenhower administration, Mrs.
Houghton, former president of
the General Federation of Wom
en's Clubs, is chief of the For
eign Operations Administration
Office for Refugees, Migration
and Voluntary Assistance. Her
immediate boss is Harold E.
Stassen, director of the agency.
She is responsible for all
American aid to refugees from
behind the Iron Curtain, to refu
gees in the Middle East, to the
thousands of: persons displaced
in the Far East by Communist
aggression. It is work which she
says gives her "great satisfac
tion." Interest Started Early
. "My interest, in international
affairs probably began when I
was a student at Wellesley Col
lege," the clubwoman and, edu
cator said. "There, for the first
time I met young people from
all over the world."
Now, in a year, Mrs. Hough
ton meets thousands of many na
tionalities. Since her appointment in 1953,
she has travelled more than 100,
000 miles by air. She probably
ranks second only to Secretary
of State John Foster Dulles in
the number of miles she has
flown in the course of her du
ties. "Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt isn't
even in competition with me any
more," she said. - .
Her womens club work helped
to prepare Mrs. Houghton for
her present job. As federation
president, she inaugurated aid
programs for refugees and per
sonally conducted four "world
cooperation tours", to Europe,
the Near East, Mexico and South
America.
Reared In Iowa
Although today she is a global
minded woman, Mrs. Houghton
readily says "I have had to push
my horizons far since I left Red
Oak, la., in 1908 to go to Welles
ley." The wife of a bank president,
she still considers Red Oak her
home and makes frequent trips
there to see her family. All f our
of her children live in Iowa.
A grandmother of eight, , she
believes in running her; office
"like a family." Members of her
staff still remember their . sur
prise when she summoned them
to her office shortly after taking
over the job. They had expected
a serious policy discussion. They
found ice cream and cake. Now,
they have come to expect the
frequent " informal gatherings
which distinguish the conduct of
her office.

Architect Announces Plans
For Japanese-Style Houses
By ELIZABETH TOOMEY
' United Press Correspondent
Portland, Ore. U.R) A Jap
anese style pre-fabricated house
will be offered for sale to home
shoppers next fall, a West Coast
architect has announced.
The house will have a raised
lounging platform where the liv
ing room furniture usually goes,
a sloping roof with a pagoda
type overhang and a black-trimmed
green exterior.
"It couldn't have happened 10
years ago," said Chris Choate, a
Los Angeles architect, who de
signed the house.
He claims young couples are
all set to start dreaming about
vine-covered oriental bunga
lows. Sitting on the floor on the
lounging platform not only cuts
down the furniture, bill, he
pointed out, but it fits, right in
with the informal living that has
become a part of the American
way of life.
About $10,000
Choate described the Japan
ese inspired house, which will
be sold for around $10,000 next
fall by the Cliff May Homes in
Los Angeles, in an interview
Conducted on a lounging plat
form. -.'
The living room section of the
house was set up here as part of
the 50-year anniversary exhibit
of new ideas at the convention
of the Douglas Fir Plywood as
sociation. It got its first nation
wide preview yesterday on. the
NBC Home television show.
"It leads to a nice sort of in
formality of living when you can
lounge on the floor," Choate
said, surveying .the colored
cushions scattered over the beige
rug. "It's an old Japanese cus
tom." ;
Only one seating area was
raised above the floor. That was
a four by seven foot platform
against the wall built to hold a
foam rubber mattress. This
served as a couch.
Designed to Sell
"Everyone agrees that this is
a design that will sell well,"
the architect said. People put
glass in the walls and began
appreciating the outdoors. All
architecture is opening out. This
is typical of the Japanese. They
are great lovers of. the outdoors.

and storage cabinets:
The bedrooms will have plat
forms to hold bed mattresses,
Choate said. And there will be
other orient inspired features
such as a suspended ceiling hung
over the lounging platform and
room dividers balanced on deli
cate legs to resemble Japanese
screens.
It's be up to the homeowner to
decide just how much furniture
to forego in favor of the floor.

Woman Retires After
Fifty-Eight Years
Palestine, Tex. (U.R) Mrs.
J. B. McDonald who has man
aged a general store in nearby
Neches for 58 years has decided
to slow down.
Mrs. McDonald isn't actually
quitting; she just thinks she's en
titled to do a littles less work.
Her son, Brice, in his 50's, will
take over active management.
Residents of Neches and
farmers in the area have traded
with Mrs. McDonald since 1897.
She has lived in the community
even longer since 1890.
In her early days, she also op
erated a ' hotel to bolster the
family income. She and her hus
band reared three children and
sent them to college. One be
came a doctor, one a storekeeper
and the third a ' teacher.
-Mrs. McDonald recalls that
when she served meals, she
charged the more prosperous
looking , "drummers" (traveling
salesmen) 35 cents for a meal,
10 cents more than , local resi
dents paid.
Mrs. McDonald and her rock
ing chair are familiar to all who
visit her store. But to prove she
isn't getting old, she will dance
a jig with the . slightest encouragement'-

New American Shakespeare j
Theater Prepares To Open
Tuesday in Connecticut
By JACK GAVER
United Press Drama Editor
- New York (U.R) Judgment
on what they put into it must
wait, but it is possible to say
now that .one of the most beau
tiful and utilitarian theaters in
the country is being completed
against a deadline in Stratford,
Conn.
This is the American Shake
speare Festival Theater, dream
of a native of Britain, which will
become a reality next Tuesday
night with .its. first production,
"Julius Caesar." '
In its sylvan, waterside set
ting, just a few minutes out of
industrial Bridgeport, this so
called million dollar theater
actually $800,000 to date, with
more to come rears some seven
stories high in 12 acres of a res
idential district. It is a monu
ment not only to the Bard of
Avon ' but' also to Lawrence
Langner, British-born president
of the venture, and others.
"You might say that this is a
sort of tryout summer for us,".
Langner said. "We will do only
two plays in an eight-week pe
riod "Julius Caesar" and "The
Tempest." The latter opens on
July 26 and after that the two
plays will be given alternate
performances.
"But next summer there will
be a longer season with at least
four works of .Shakespeare in
repertory." -
But considering the limited
time ground for the theater
wasn't broken until Feb. 1
they would seem to have done
well enough this year: Raymond
Massey will play Brutus in "Jul
ius aesar" ana rrospero in
"Tempest." Jack Ealance, back
to the stage after a sensational
movie career in a few years, will
play Cassius and Caliban in the
respective plays; Roddy McDow-
all will play Octavious and Ar
ial; Christopher - Plummer
