On The Side

Note the publication of a pam
phlet titled "Guide To Packing."
That's for me. I am going to
lean to pack my own suitcase. I
wish to achieve my independence
in this respect. My girl friend
frequently threatens to make me
do my own packing. This sends
a shudder through my frail
frame. However, I am going to
master the art of packing so
when my matrimonial mate says,
"no comment please, or I'll make
you do your own packing." I'll
reply, "and, so what?" or, words
to that effect.
Warning
Don't consume alcoholic liq
uors when driving in Florida.
The courts of that stale are really
throwing the book at inebriated
autoists. Recently a 20-year-old
drunk driver involved in a fatal
accident in Flordia was given a
prison sentence of 20 years:
Asking
Queries from clients. Q. The
Louis Fourteenth restaurant in
Rockefeller centre claims to be
"one of the best 10 restaurants
in New York" but doesn't name
the other nine. What are they?
A. That certainly is strictly a
matter of opinion. I would say
they are Luchow s, Le Pavilion,
Club Twenty - One, Colony,
Chambord, Chateaubriand, Lin
dy's, Carlton House and Gage &
Tollners. . . Q. Who starred in
the original New York produc
tion of "The Affairs Of Anatol"
and when? A. John Barrymore.
That was in 1912. Also in the
cast were such distinguished act
resses as Doris Keane, Margue
rite Clark and Gail Kane.
Asides
Those with inventive talent
should be interested in that book
titled "Twenty -One Hundred
Needed Inventions" by Raymond
F. Yates. . . Before useing her
current slogan of "The Last Of
The Red Hot Mamas." Sophie
Tucker was billed as "The Mary
Garden Of Ragtime." And long
before Hildegarde appeared on
the entertainment scene, Anne
Held was billed as "The Incom
parable Anne Held."
Hones And Women
The flat-chested figure, pop
ular among females in the 1920s,
really seems due for a revival.
Grace Kelly is said to be respon
sible. An intense interest is re
ported in a form compressing
gadget called the "Diminisher."
Our horses and women experts
view this situation with regret
and some alarm. They think the
girls who have been endowed
with curves by nature should
continue to follow a policy of
looking sweeter in a sweater.
They also believe that flatten
ing out said curves might be
injurious to the health.
Faxing By
Stavros Niarchos. Picturesque
shipping magnate. Followed the
advice of that ancient greek who
urged young men to get into a
business involving ships or wo
men. His brother-in-law, Aristo
tle Socrates Onassis, took
similar advice. Both are now
millionaires. Onassis. as you
know, is the man who bought
the bank at Monte Carlo just for
a hobby. He is also said to have
suggested that Prince Rainier
marry Grace Kelly.
As It Was
There are some things5cheap
er now than 20 or more years
ago. As for example.. golf balls
which I note offered for $3.33
cents a dozen. I paid a dollar
each for golf balls not so many
years ago. That was very hard
on my bankroll because I had a
long drive with a terrific slice
and I lost many a ball.
Trade Marks
Note the Mctro-Glodwyn- May
er lion named "the best of all
film company trademarks." It is
very effective. However, my fa
vorite film trademark of all time
was the old mutual film com
pany's winged clock with the
slogan: "Mutual Movies Make
Time Fly."

Under Democratic Controlled 84th Congress
Bv HARRIS ELLSWORTH
Republican Congressman from
Oregon's 4th district
(This is one of a series of guest
columns written by members of
the Oregon congerssional dele
eation. concerning their part in
the recently adjourned 84th Con
gress.) Washington A year or so ago
a top government officer said
with reference to the world sit
uation that it was time for an
"agonizing reappraisal" of our
policies. In ordinary words that
means let's look at what we've
done no matter how much it
hurts.
Now that the second Con
gress of the first four-year Eisen
hower presidential term has ad
journed, the voters in our 48
states might well make an ason
izing reappraisal of what they
did midway of the Eisenhower,
term when they faced him with
an opposition Congress by their
votes in the 1934 election.
Korea Peace Esatblished
The first two years went
smoothly in spite of some sharp
changes in the trend of things
as they had been under the pre
vious administration. Inflation
was halted. Price, wage, and rent
controls were ended. Reduced
federal expenditures made tax
reductions of more than seven
billions of dollars possible. A
phoney truce in the Korean war
was halted and actual peace es
tablished. Confidence in govern
ment and a stabilized economy
brought investment capital out
of hiding, resulting in tremend
ous industrial plant expansion
and more people working at
higher wages than ever before
in our history.
Those were terrific strides to
be made in less than 24 months.
To a considerable extent they
were made possible because the

MEDFORD, OREGON,
Congress for those two years
was controlled by the president's
party. The president could ask
for and get legislation he needed
to advance his program. That
was the 83 rd Republican Con
gress. Since the beginning of the new
Democratic controlled 84th Con
gress in 1955, President Eisen
hower's legislative program has
been mauled, man-handled and
has frequently taken a beating.
The President asked for a
long-range program of highway
construction and rebuilding. The
opposition majority in this Con
gress could not make up its mind
how to disagree with the. Presi

Washington (U.R) The gal
who represents the nation's cap
ital at the Miss America contest
in Atl antic
City will dis
play her
charms in slip
covers.
And no mat
ter who is the
local winner
(39 or 32 bust
or 24 inches
around the
midriff) her
gear is bound to fit. '
It will be sleek and snugly be
cause there is an adjustable gim
mick called a "panel'' hindside
to take care of any size bust or
rear fender. Height is no prob
lem. We still have scissors.
All of this will spare the
young lady quarrels with the
man who weighs the luggage at
the airport and also give her
time for a coke between changes
back stage. The outfit, is, in
effect, a three-way deal.
Garment Weighs Little
The girl will, of course, carry
such essentials as street clothes,
shoes, p.j.'s, plus some red for
the lips and pins for the hair;
a toothbrush, and maybe a set
of phony eye lashes, but these
things don't add up to much
weight."
Miss Washington's three - ply
garment is on the rack right
now. It contains 160 yards of
fluffy tulle, which weighs next
to nothing.
All of this was the brainchild
of a local designing team known
as Jo Ro Betts and Dunham.
Mrs. Betts and Mr. Dunham
parlayed a couple of needles and
a basketful of material into good
business. The embassy ladies are
among their patrons.

dent and still pass wanted high
way legislation. Finally, after
haggling for nearly a year and
a half a bill was passed but the
construction program was de
layed more than a year.
Impossible Situation
The Eisenhower administra
tion fell heir to an impossible
situation in agriculture. The
mandatory 90 per cent price sup
port program which seemed to
be needed to increase food pro
duction for war was still in ef
fect. The price depressing moun
tain of surplus commodities in
government warehouses, in idle
ships, and in box cars had be
come a growing multi-billion dol-
This and That
slip covers "or convertibles.
The gals who compete in the
Miss America thing must have
a gown to wear down the ramp
each night. They must have a
different rig '.or the night they
compete in talent and yet anoth
er when they roll down the
boardwalk in the annual parade.
The utility garment starts out
with uncounted yards of tulle,
with a satin bodice, or topside.
After that on come the slip
covers for the other ensembles.
The basic garment remains on
most of the time, hoops drawn
out. The gown hooked on for the
parade can be any color, blend
ing with hair and figure. The
one I saw was called aqua ocean
spray, whatever that is.
Handy for Brides
If it doesn't match the girl,
radio station WWDC, which
sponsors the local entry, will
find something that does.
Then comes the other slip
cover a silk organdie business
on the bottom and white satin on
top with phony rose petals all
around. Real flowers are against
the rules.
The three-in-one gown is going
to cost the tab grabber S350.
"If she really wanted to."
Mrs. Betts said, "a girl could
build this one garment up to
13."
It would behandy, she said,
for a bride who wanted to travel
light and always be properly
dressed on her honeymoon.
Judith Dunkle, the Miss Wash
ington of last year, said she
wished she had known about
putting everything in one or two
suitcases.
"Golly me," she said, 'it was
a wonder they would let me on
the plane. I even had a footlock
er. Maybe I was born to early."
Maybe Judy was she's all
of 20 now.

lar headache. The 83rd Congress
took off the rigid controls and ;
advanced surplus disposal. But
the House in the first session of
the opposition 84th Congress
passed a bill to reinstate 90 per I
cent rigid parity. The President
then made some recommenda
tions for farm legislation which
were generally ignored and he
was confronted with what he
considered an impossible farm
bill, which he vetoed. Finally, !
the 84th Congress passed a farm
bill but not before the hassle
over it had delayed its benefits i
for a crop year.
Result of Momentum ' ,
It seems likely that our pres-;
ent happy state may be the re
sult of momentum generated in
the first two years when the j
President and Congress pulled
together. There are little signs
here and there, in the auto in
dustry and elsewhere, that our
economy is not moving ahead
with the vigor it had not long ,
ago. Our free economy is a sensi
tive apparatus which invariably
reacts to the stability and de-,
pcndability of government. '
In view of the record which
is now written in full it seems j
that the logical result of careful j
reappraisal would be to continue
President Eisenhower in office
for another four years and this
time give him a Congress con
trolled by his own party.

Sees Lasting Peace
Salem (U.R) Permanent j
peace in our time was predicted
to more than 6,000 Jehovah's
Witnesses by Nicholas Kovalak
of New York at the closing ses
sion of a four-day Northwest as
sembly here Sunday.
"Almost since man's begin-.
ning, people have been seeking !
and praying for peace, but to .
no avail," Kovalak said. "In the ,
last 3.361 years of recorded his
tory there have been only 227
peaceful years."
Kovalak, an official of the

zation, said "wars have settled
nothing permanently and now '
the devastating power of war
hangs as a dark cloud over the '
entire earth." " i
