Styles fro Norfield "Southern Oregon's Main Street Tfcs product Tuesday, October 16, 1956 Helen Stevenson Makes Comment on Affairs of State By GAY PAULEY I United Press Correspondent j rew York ,U.R; Helen Ste venson, who dates one of the na tion's eligible bachelor-politi- cians, says people should be as interest ed in affairs of state as in affairs of the heart. "We'd have a better de m o c r a c y if this were the Gy Pauley case," said Miss Stevenson, who recently switched her interests from air lines to political lines. The 28-year-old beauty, a dis tant cousin of the Democratic candidate for president, dates New Jersey's Gov. Robert May ner. Wedding Rumors Persist ' She said in an interview that she and the governor are "good friends." But she refused to say whether that friendship was blossoming into a love that could make her one of the nation's youngest first ladies in the gov ernor's mansion. The rumors persist, however, that she will wed the 48-year-old Meyner. Miss Stevenson has dark, cur ly hair and a statuesque figure. "I'm five eight ... a monster," she said with a laugh. A native of New York, she was educated at Bearley school and Colorado college, Colorado Springs, where she majored in history. After graduation in 1950, she joined the American Red Cross and spent nearly two years at the Korean War front. Two and one-half years ago, she went to work for Trans World Airlines as head of their women's travel service. Helping Cousin She said she has been interest ed in politics since college days. Nine months ago she took a leave of absence from the air line to join the Stevenson forces. At present she is administrative assistant in the volunteer divi sion of the New York headquar ters for Stevenson. "The governor had nothing to do with my decision," she said. Meyner also is campaigning actively for Stevenson. She met Meyner last May when he was chief speaker at Oberlin college, Oberlin, O. Her father, William Stevenson, has been the college president for 12 years. "The governor and I have been good friends since," she said, "but no further comment." "We have- little time to see each other," she added. "Even to talk by telephone. He's a very busy man."
