ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington The Oregon election winner who seemed to get almost as much attention from the press of the nation's capital as either Presi dent Eisen hower or Ad lai Stevenson and more than Sen. Wayne Morse or Douglas A. Kobu Smith MCK.ay was the state's new Democratic na tional committeewoman. That doesn't mean that Vir ginia A. Grant has lots of sup porters in Washington, D. C, for she was as much an unknown here as in many parts of the state. But the Portland waitress seemed to be a welcome change from the tiresome gallery of political faces that dot the local scene. Mrs. Grant, a 33-year-old bru nette, was introduced to the na tion's capital,' where she will have to attend periodic meetings of the Democratic national com- French Designer Advises Wearers Of Bathing Suits By ELIZABETH TOOMEY .United Press Correspondent New York QJ.PJ Plenty of ordinarily calm wives and mothers, and a few daughters, show signs of nervous insecurity at this season. Catch them unawares and you'll see them back up to the full length mirror, swivel their heads around, take a long look and emit a deep sigh. They show no enthusiasm for the bright sunshine and even less for the first family trip to the beach. They simply are trying to as semble courage to squeeze . into bathing suits and march out to meet competition from long- legged lovlies. It's too late to streamline curves so the only hope is to bolster the nerves. There are certain things we imperfect figures of American womanhood could do to enhance our appearance at the beach, a Frenchman who designs bathing suits suggested cautiously dur ing a recent visit here. . As Fernand Lafitte, the de signer, put it, "Regard the beach more like the cocktail party, as European women do." Lafitte is a clear-eyed young man who does not believe in spiking ' the lemonade, ' so his theory obviously didn't refer to refreshments. "There are' two things I mean," he explained. "You should wear beach shoes with high heels and wear make up . . . well," Lafitte shrugged expressively, "only the very young and sportive type can go without satisfactorily." -. The designer dismissed the importance of beach hats, beach jewelry, bathing suit falsies and painted toenails as essential to outdoor allure. "The bustline of the bathing suits now is natural," he said. "We do not put falsies in bath ing suits except for the woman who has absolutely nothing, and even these are more subtle than two years ago." ORANGES POPULAR Fresh oranges are the most popular of all fresh fruit. Our best known varieties are the Va lencia and Washington navel. The navel is the winter orange; available from November to May. Valencias are the May to November variety. The navel orange which is seedless has the characteristic group cells oppo site the stem end; the navel for mation from which the orange gets its name. The others, obvi ously, are valencias which have a thinner peel, are a little more juicy and have a few seeds. Right now markets offer both. To make quick spiced peaches drain one No. 2V4 can cling peach halves. To syrup from peaches, add A cup brown sugar (packed), V6 cup vinegar, two 3-inch sticks cinnamon, 1 teaspoon whole cloves and 1 tea spoon whole allspice; boil 5 min utes. Add peaches and simmer 5 minutes. Allow fruit to stand in pickling syrup several hours or overnight.

A newspaper reporter for the Washington Star called this re porter for all the dope of the newly elected committeewoman but got little detailed aid. Un daunted, the reporter said, Well. I ll have to interview her myself then, for we've got to have a story on her." Most every politician dreams of the day lightning will strike at the right time to give him a jolt upward in his political ca reer. But Rep. Sam Coon would just as soon shuffle along by his own steam, thank you, having had just about all the lightning he cares to tangle with for awhile. Coon was flying back to Wash ington recently from a congres sional junket to Florida ar ranged by the Pentagon. Before their Air Force plane with a full load of congressmen had reached the halfway point, black storm clouds loomed ahead. Deciding to plunge right into them, the pilot a two star gen eral gave his passengers more excitement than they had bar gained for. A bolt of lightning slammed into the wing of the plane just a few feet beyond the window from which the Baker congressman was watching the storm. The plane lurched, then dropped so suddenly that the ashtrays in the arm rests shot up against the ceiling. A game of checkers was literally broken up. The passengers were saved from scalp wounds by their fastened seat belts. The pilot decided he had had it, and turned back for an emer gency landing at Ft. Bragg, N. C. while the military made ac comodations ready for the solons to stay over until a plane could complete the return trip, Coon and several companions decided to finish the junket by train. e Sen.

"I'm older, I'm sicker, and I need more rest," explained the gray-haired veteran with tongue in cheek, taking a subtle crack at his own party leader. Two young sons of a Presby terian minister arrived in Wash ington this past week from Alas ka, after a auto trip over the Alcan highway. Out in the mid dle they discovered a rock had punctured a hole in their gas' tank, so that precious fuel was dripping away as they scratched their heads for a solution. John Walkup, 14, suggested chewing gum and it worked. "We chewed gum like mad from then on until we found a garage 40 miles away," said the boy proudly.
