GETTING THE WORD Democratic Presidential Can

from Joe Smith (left) as he prepares to take off from

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.
Where's yours?
