ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Corrupocdent Washington . A visit to the nation's capital, where he was' warmly greeted by President i s e n hower and various members o 1 Congress, seemed this week to whet the appetite of Philips. Hitchcock for another at tempt to win a. Robe smiui a seat in con gress. The man who was edged out by Douglas McKay for the chance to take on Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) this fall is al ready thinking ahead to his next campaign and he conceded that he is quite likely to run against Sen. Richard L. Neuberger (D Ore.) when Neuberger's term ex pires in 1960. "A good many young Republi cans have thought of me as the "white hope' of the Republican party in Oregon," explained Hitchcock in an interview. "I have encouraged them in that be lief because I think it is very im portant for our party to bring in new and younger leadership." Drift Away Seen He added that he believes the ability of the Republican party in Oregon to hold its own against a Democratic party that is rising in number and political strength throughout the state is depend ant upon admitting able young men to the party's counsels of authority. Hitchcock said very bluntly that he thinks that if the "Ar lington club (of Portland) crowd" continues to dominate the party. Ha younger membership will drift away, -not necessarily into the Democratic ranks but into apathetic independence. His own disappointment in defeat, be in dicated, is partly caused by his belief that McKay's victory strengthened the hand of the "Arlington Club crowd" and weakened that of the party's young bloods. But Hitchcock is in an awk ward spot, he admits, setting his sights even tentatively on a cam paign for the Senate that is still four years away, especially since he holds no public office which could keep him in the public eye. Would Run for House He would not be averse to run ning for the House of Represen tatives, but he said he has no in tention of running against Rep. k Walter Norblad (R-Ore.) in whose congressional district he resides. Hitchcock said some par ty friends urged him to run against Rep. Edith Green (D Ore ), inasmuch as he is affilia ted with Lewis and Clark college In her Portland congressional district. But inasmuch as he lives in Clackamas county, which puts him just over the line in Nor blad's district, he didn't think it wise to run for Congress in the Portland district. A former state senator, Hitch cock said "it would be just ploughing old ground" to go back to the state legislature, so he rules that office out. Just how he will solve this problem re mains to be seen. Visils Friends Hitchcock came to Washing ton, D.C., from Philadelphia, where he was taking part in the annual general assembly of the Presbyterian church. He said he wanted to visit several friends, mainly Howard Pyle, ex-governor of Arizona who is on the presidents' White House staff, and George W. Greene, admin istrative assistant to Sen. Her man Welker (R-Ida.). While visiting Pyle at the White House, he was ushered in for a brief chat with the presi dent, who seemed quite aware of the stiff competition he had giv en McKay but was complimen tary of the type campaign he had waged. Then he went to Capitol Hill for visits with members of Con gress, including a political bull session with Reps. Harris Ells worth and Norblad. After that he stopped to visit Guy Cordon, former Oregon senator, at his law office here. The Family Council editor'! Not-. The Family Council consists of a judge, a ptychlatrlit, a newspaper editor, a women's pan editor and two newspaper writers. These consult with clergymen of all faiths and denominations. All letters are held ta complete confidence. Stan My wife's ister is our problem. Stella I must remain close to her. Stan I would like to extri cate my wife and myself from an uneasy situation, but my wife is heedless of danger. My wife's sister was my fiance, a girl I met in college. My wife is her older sister, whom I met on my first visit to the girl's home. I felt attracted to my wife from our first meeting. At first I tried to suppress this feeling, but when 1 noticed that my fiance was being rushed by an other man, I realized that I had a right to follow my true feel ings. My wife and her sister have always been very close and they continue to be. I am afraid of this. I feel awkward in the pres ence of my sister-in-law, and I'm very much afraid her resent ment of me may poison the at mosphere for all of us. The only solution, I feel, is for County Sfockmen Set Meeting Next Week The Jackson County Stock men's association board of direc tors and the newly appointed Feeder Day Sales committee will hold a joint meeting at 8 p.m. Tuesday in the county agent's office, according to County Agent W. B. (Ben) Tucker. Charles Stanley, president of the association, will report on a meeting of the Oregon Cattle men's association he attended last month in Bend. Included in discussion topics will be a recommendation on supporting prices under a pro gram similar to the Oklahoma plan. The Feeder Day Sales commit tee will continue! plans for a Feeder Cattle sale to be held sometime next fall. Merton Brad shaw is chairman of the committee. Pasadena U.R) Phil John son, owner of the C 4c D Lumber Co. at Riddle, Ore., died in a local hospital Wednesday after an illness of about six weeks. He was 55. us to live in a different part of town and see my sister-in-law only when necessary. But my wife and her sister cling to gether, and make me very nerv ous. Stella I want her children and mine to grow up as friends and I want to feel, that we can lean on each other if life brings adversity. My husband's fears are base less. My sister was never sure about Stan, and she confided this to me before they broke up. She does not feel at all jilted and she is about to marry the man who "rushed" her and whom she loves very much. I think it would take a great deal out of my life if I could not see my little sister, since I have always dreamed of our families growing up together. The Council: This calls for clear thinking and plain talking. The problem evidently is not the sister-in-law's "resentment" but Stan's state of mind. He seems to have a touch of fickle ness that he must overcome. There is strong pull of sister ly feeling here that moving to another part of town may not destroy. Stan cannot deprive his wife of her sister's love without also depriving his home and his family life of a precious quality. He should face his weakness in his own mind and overcome, it. Stella should tell him clearly how her sister felt she was mak ing a mistake and how much her sister loves the man she is about to marry. The fact that Stan and the sister-in-law were once very fond of each other should not be al lowed to becloud their lives. On the contrary, it should and can create a strong feeling of har mony that will some day give the children of both couples something very priceless, the companionship, of close cousins. A separation of the couples would not remove the strain un less it were complete and final. As long as Stan realizes that he and his sister-in-law will have to meet on some occasions, it is far better that he learn to see this situation in its true perspective and completely allay his present feeling of embarrassment and emotional insecurity.

Erickson, state health officer, has issued the an nual warning against eating ma rine mussels or uncleaned clams taken from Oregon coastal wa ters during the spring and sum mer. Dr. Erickson said it is not safe to eat any portion of the mussels or the digestive organs of clams at this time of year because they may contain a strong alkaloid poison similar to strychnine. He explained the poison re sults from the mussels or clams eating a tiny organism which causes a red tide and is occa sionally washed in by the ocean during the summer. The health officer said com mercial packers do not permit harmful seafood to enter the open market and the sale and distribution of marine mussels and uncleaned clams is prohib ited by the state board of health between May 1 and October 31. People who dig clams during the danger period are advised to remove all black portions be fore eating. White meat and muscular tissues of the clams do not contain the poison, he said. Dr. Erickson also cautioned against feeding discarded por tions of animals or domestic fowl, since they are also suscept ible to the poison. Queen's Precautions Result of Threats London (U.R) The Daily Express said today the unusual lv heavy precautions ordered for the protection of Queen Eliza beth on her official birthday Thursday were the result of an anonymous threat to "cause dis turbances." The newspaper gave no indica tion of the origin of the vaguely worded threat, but the story in evitably recalled reports that three triggermen from terror ridden Cyprus have been smug gled into England to assassinate the queen or some high official of her government.

Moscow Radio reported the ar rival of Tito and his aides. The Soviet Tass news agency said his special train had entered the Soviet Union at Ungeny, a front ier station on the Russian side of the Soviet-Rumanian frontier. In Moscow, all newspapers carried stories and dispatches from Bucharest reporting Tito's stopover there plus Belgrade dis patches on Yugoslavian reaction. Garden Notes By C. B. CORDY County Extension Agent for Horticulture Strawberry leaf rollers are still working in strawberry patches, so another application of methoxychlor at this time should be applied. These leaf rollers are little greenish worms that work on the upper sides of the leaves pulling the two edges together and spin ning a web in between. After they become rolled up in the leaves, they cannot be" killed, but any new ones can be killed off before the leaves are rolled. Now Ripening Strawberries are now ripen ing, so a spray at this time will leave a residue on the fruit; how ever, methoxychlor is one of the safest of the insecticides that we have, so if a period of 3 to 5 days is allowed to pass after spraying, the fruit can be safely eaten. This metheoxychlor is the same material that we are using on the cherry fruit fly and like wise, a visible residue on the fruit would not be dangerous. However, it would be desirable to allowa 3 to 5 day period after cherries. Cherry fruit flies are a new pest in the valley and many peo ple have not sprayed their trees and have not had trouble with them. However, in the last year or two, the pest is becoming very widespread and it is no longer safe to assume your crop will not be attacked. Instead of being afraid of the residue on the cherries, consum ers should consider the presence of the residue as an insurance against the presence of the worms. The residue would be un desirable if the cherries were shipped to outside markets where consumers might not realize why it was used and the fact that the residue would not be poisonous.
