TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday, October IB. ISSS GETTING THE WORD Democratic Presidential Can didate Adlai Stevenson seems to be getting the word from Joe Smith (left) as he prepares to take off from Chicago's O'Hare Airport. Smith, a Chicagoan and long time Democrat, was one of large crowd on hand to see Stevenson off on a campaign swing into the Northwest.

By ROBERT E. JACKSON United Press Correspondent New York OJ.R) This may make a lot of men mad, but the American woman doesn't have enough gadgets. Not enough, that is, to equal one live-in maid. Despite her juice squeezers, dish washers, floor waxers, gar bage disposers, pressure cook ers, washing machines and deep freezes, the American woman with children remains a prisoner in her castle. It is one hurdle that our know-how has failed to clear. For $30 a month in Rome, where we have just wound up a seven-year European assignment, we had a girl who cleaned the apartment, bought the food, cooked the meals and sat with the babies. For the privilege of coming wife has gladly traded away this luxury for what she jokingly calls a life in "Serf-Urbia. But my wife no longer is claiming that the wondrous sup ermarkets and the gadgets sub stitute for a maid. They don't The maid system won't catch on again in America. It may be in its dying hours in Europe certainly, at those rates. Who wants to do somebody else's housework? If it's true that American men Smith Supported PSCf Record Shows Salem 'U.R) Secretary of State Earl T. Newbry said yes terday that records of his office showed that Gov. Elmo Smith voted as a state senator in sup port of Portland State College. Newbry said he looked up the record to disprove an assertion by Democ r a t i c gubernatorial candidate Robert Holmes, Gear hart, that Gov. Smith "voted against Portland State College." "Portland State was establish ed in 1949 as an extension cen ter under authority of House bill 213," Newbry said, "and session. Elmo Smith, then a state senator, voted for the bill with the ma jority." Newbry claimed that Holmes and then State Sen. Richard L. Neuberger had sponsored their own version of a junior college bill which was defeated in f.ie Senate with Holmes and Neu berger voting for it and Smith against it.' The secretary of state added that Smith also voted for Port land State as a four-year degree granting institution in the 1955 are hopelessly dominated by their women, could it be guilt that drives us to debtors prison to meet each new demand for a new device? Because I haven't met a man in America since my return and I knew none in 1949 who would swap jobs with their wives. We rented a house in West port, Conn., while looking for a place to buy. I discovered that the beautiful three - bedroom house for $13,500 advertised in the week we left America in 1949 would go for $30,000 now. Or "only" S30.000, as the real estate agents, and my mes merized friends, would say. We couldn't understand the ad for "ranch" houses. Brimming with nostalgia, said "it's two stories for us." It took one day of stair-climbing to knock off the second story. We had agreed that my wife wouldn't wear slacks or those Bermuda shorts which have in fested suburbia, baring the knees that sank a thousand ships. My wife put on slacks this morning. Either because I am dominated or because I realized that she can't slave in skirts, I sur rendered. I haven't seen any ol my male friends mowing the lawn in coats and ties. Our elders say wef have gone sloppy in recent years. We plead guilty to being casual and infor mal. We are mortgaged over our ears, and we call luxuries neces sities. But we have stuck by the main theme that the home is the center of American life. And despite what you read about pampered females. I haven't seen my wife anywhere except in the kitchen.
