ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington Oregon's i i x member congressional delega tion is off to what looks like a much more amicable start than it ever enjoyed during the past two years of the 84th Congress. One reason, of course, is that one side of the battling ranks was vir Robt. Smith tually wiped out in the Novem ber election when Jtrps. Harris Ellsworth and Sam Coon were defeated by Reps. Charles O. Porter and Al Ullman. The defeat of these two Re publicans cuts the GOP strength The Family Council Editor's note: The Family Cnunrll consists of a Judge, a psychiatrist, three clergymen, a newspaper editor, a women's editor and two writers.

My brother-in-law is unfaithful. Mildred K. I don't see what can be done about it. Brenda G. I recently wnt on a visit to a nearby crty and while there, accidentally ran into my brother-in-law, who travels a great deal in connec tion with his work. He was with a woman and seemed very em barrassed to meet n.e. I prompt ly made some investigations and found out that he and this wom an were registered at the hotel as Mr. and Mrs. K. . When I came home, I gently hinted to my sister that she ought to keep' tabs on her hus band. To my surprise, she came right out and told me that -if I was referring to his unfaithful ness;, she knew all about it and didn't care. ; I feel that Mildred is letting herself in for a lot of grief if she doesn't put her foot down on this thing. She has a young fam ily and can't afford to lose her husband. . - Mildred No matter how unfaithful he is, I don't believe I'll lose Stuart. He is a devoted father and would never take the chance- fo a serious separation from the children. None of these women matters to him. There have been so many of these infidelities, I just can't take them seriously. I've known about them for years and Stuart knows I know. It was a shock at first, I'll admit, but I've be come adjusted to our situation: In any case, I don't see what can be done about it. My hus band must be away from home on business a good deal of the time. I can't keep tabs on him as my sister suggests. It hasn't 6een an ideal situation, but my husband knows no other way of making a living. I don't think Brenda should have meddled in this. The Council: Regardless of whether Brenda should have On The Side (Distributed by King Why did your wife agree to marry you? Was it for love? Anyway, when a check was made of the general matrimon ial situation in this country by asking innumerable women why they married, the final result was: 1. For companionship. 2. To have a home. 3. For love. 4. To have children. Critics Bernard Shaw's first newspa per job was as a music critic. He was given that assignment because the editor thought him too radical to be an editorial writer. Shaw never took the critic's job seriously. Augustus Manns, famous orchestra leader, once complained about a criti cism of his work by Shaw. He received a letter from Shaw reading, "Music critics as you know, are of two sorts, musi cians who are no writers and writers who are no musicians. I belong to the latter class and am astonished and flattered that my irresponsible sallies have attract ed your attention." Passing By Ted Shapiro. Versatile veter an vaudevillian.

So now the five Democrats are rallying around one another in an open display of team work which will undoubtedly carry through much of the work they perform in this 85th Congress. They have launched a bi-weekly breakfast conference to discuss state problems and ways and means of joining to combat them here in Washington, D.C. Not Done in Recent Yuri Nothing of this sort has been done here by the Oregon delega tion in recent years, nor was it done before Sen. Richard L. Neuberger broke the Democratic jinx in 1954 at a time when all six congressional jobs were held by Republicans. meddled, the fact is that she has. This means that Mildred needs to take serious stock of her mar ital situation. Mildred has shown her hus band that his infidelities don't matter very much to her. She has virtually given him the go ahead signal to betray her and to flaunt his disdain for relig ious and civil law. He has prob ably been encouraged by the be lief that his wife cares neither for him nor for the marital vows. If she examines her own thoughts and feelings a little more deeply, Mildred will prob ably find this is not really the case. She has probably taken a complacent attitude and made a superficial adjustment dictated by the fact that she doesn't see "what can be done about it. She is probably much more deeply disturbed than she is willing to admit to" herself. Just as she values her husband's de votion to the children, she should value his devotion to lier and their marriage vows. Too Complacent - Mildred is also being too com placent in her idea that she can not lose her husband more than she has already lost him. She seems to have sold herself on the idea that as long as the in fidelities are numerous, Stuart will not get into the clutches of any one woman. That just isn't case. Both Mildred and her hus band are cheating themselves in this marriage. They are not en joying the ' full emotional and spiritual experience of marriage at all. It is a most unsatisfactory life for both of them. Mildred ought to let herself and her hus band know how she really feels. It might bring about a change and it Is even possible that her husband can find a means of changing his work so that it brings him into closer contact with her and the family.

Propaganda It should be kept in mind that the Soviet line of propaganda is based on some advice given by the Russian writer Turgenev many years ago, namely: "If you want to annoy an opponent thor oughly and even to harm him, you reproach him with every de fect or vice you are conscious of in yourself. Be indignant. It will also set others thinking you have not that vice. Film Stars Twenty five years ago, in 1932 the 10 best box office film stars "were: 1. Marie Dressier; 2. Janet Gayner; 3. Joan Crawford; 4. Charles Farrell: 5. Greta Garbo; 6. Will Rogers; 7. Norma Shear er; 8. Wallace Beery; 9. Clark Gable: 10. Joe E. Brown. Eddie Cantor was 13th in that year's standing. Marlene Dietrich was 19th. Back in those days, when Sen. Wayne Morse was a Republican and his senatorial colleague was Republican Guy Cordon, there was only superficial cooperation between the two senators. They were as incompatible in their philosophies and fields of inter est as any senators bearing the same party label could be. The closest cooperation at that time was between Cordon and Ellsworth, two deeply conserva tive men with similar fields of interest centered in local prob lems of western Oregon, princi pally in legislation concerning the tangled O&C forest lands.
