Decorator Feels Hotel Rooms Should
Have Glamor Not Found in Most Homes
Chicago '. Everett Brown
says that hotel rooms should
have glamour you can't get at
Jiome.
Brown, a 42-year-old interior
decorator, has been doing over
a series of plush hotel suites in
Chicago. At one hotel, he's been
spending an average of S6000 a
room on furnishings a sum you
can't get at most homes, either.
"Even on a business trip, a
stay at a hotel should give the
feeling of holiday and a taste of
Responsibility of
Stale Electfon
Laws Drafted
Salem KU.R Bills to grant
thesecretary of state full re
sponsibility for administration
of election laws at the state
level and empowering him to
superintend the administration
of election laws by county clerks
have been ordered drafted by the
Legislative Interim Committee
on Elections here.
Bills to grant similar powers
to the county clerks on county
level elections will also be draft
ed, together with bills to pro
vide for appeal boards at both
state and county level.
July 1 Deadline Set
The action was taken after
Sam Haley, legislative counsel,
told the group headed by Sen.
Pat Lonergan of Portland that
the counsel was anxious to have
as many bills as possible ready
for the 1957 Legislature in ad
vance of the opening of the ses
sion. Haley said a deadline of July
1 for bills from interim com-j
mittees had been set so that
there would be sufficient time
to fiil requests from individual
legislators prior, to the opening
session.
Under terms of a bill the com
mittee asked the legislative coun
sel to draft, the state appeals
board would be aiade up of the
governor, labor commissioner
and superintendent of public in
struction. At the county level,
regulations and decisions by the
county clerk would be subject
to appeal to the county courts.
Parsons Warehouse0
Gets Building Permit
The Parsons Warehouse com
pany has obtained a building
permit from the city of Medford
to erect a warehouse costing
some $108,750 at the corner of
12th and Fir sts., according to
city records.
The location of the building
is that of the Pinnacle Pack
ing company warehouse which
was destroyed by fire over a
year ago. H. B. Murphy, man
ager of Pinnacle, was out of
town this week and was not
available to discuss the plans,
but it is understood the Parsons
firm is constructing the ware
house for use by Pinnacle, which
was the plan of operation before
the fire.
fabulous living," Brown said.
Leather Suiie
His latest contribution is the
leather suite at the Sherman
Hotel in Chicago. He put red
leather on the' floor and covered
the walls with Rure silk. The
chairs, the sofa, the table tops,
the beds are finished in leather.
The bedspreads are leather, too.
'"People can be at home here
in evening clothes or in sports
clothes," Brown said. "That's
what's so nice about leather."
Luxurious as it is. Brown said
that the decor in the uite is
practical, too. "The rooms are
designed for the hard use hotel
rooms get." he said. "The leather
floors will never wear out. The
furniture is tough, too."
Rents for S65 Daily
The leather suite of two bed
rooms and a living room rents
for S65 a day, a resident man
ager Steve Lampher said.
Brown, who is married and
has two children, maintains of
fices in San Francisco and New
York. He lives at Belvedere,
Calif.
In Chicago, he has redecorated
suites at the Ambassador and
Sherman hotels. One group is
called the "toute suite" with a
French motif, of course.
Brown shudders, he said, to
think what an average middle
aged American housewife might
have done had she had the job
of redecorating.
"She would have cluttered it
up with too many little things,"
he said. "The desire to possess
things is too strong and gets out
of hand."
He said he hopes that women
who use his hotel suites will
come away with ideas on how
to combine "elegance, comfort
and beauty with 20th century
practicality."
One woman who cast a prac-i
tical eye on the leather suite
was the hotel housekeeper
Brown said. He "reported she
liked it but was worried about
someone spilling ginger ale on
the silken walls.
Since stains can't be removed
from the fabric, Brown admitted
she had a point. But he has
found a way out. An extra sup
ply of silk has been put away
for use in such emergencies to
cover up the damage.
Sheylin About To
Become Ghost Town
Bend (U.P.) The logging
town of Shevlin, which has
picked up its skirts and moved

Moose on Loose
In Alaska Again
Anchorage, Alaska (U.R)
Alaska's wandering moose were
on the loose again today, search
ing for pasturage and terrifying
some residents in the process.
Fish and Wildlife Service of
ficials said the moose charged
two automobiles and killed a
sled dog Tuesday after scaring
one woman to the point where
she fell and injured herself in
escaping.
Several other reports of moose
roaming in suburban residential
areas were relayed to federal
wildlife officials. An owner of
an apartment house near the
outskirts of the Anchorage busi
ness district said he saw a cow
moose and calf lurking near a
motel.
Last winter many of the ani
mals were driven into Anchor
age and Palmer residential areas
by deep snows.
Officials warned residents to
leave the animals alone and keep
dogs from attacking them as it
would enrage the huge beasts
and make them extremely dangerous.
