Oregon's Congressional Delegation Seems To
By A. 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

Brenda G. 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."

within the Oregon delegation
down to one man. Rep. Walter
Norblad, and gives the Demo
crats the other five posts.
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.

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.

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.

Rep. Norblad could become a
vocal minority and demonstrate
a political contrast as the issues
in this Congress develop but
that is hardly to be expected.

Congresfman Norblad re
mains today what he has been
essentially for much of his ca

loner. His ambition to go higher
in politics has never been doubt
ed, and he demonstrated it per
sonally by impulsively jumping
into the GOP gubernatorial con
test last year following the
death of Paul Patterson. But his
quick exit from the race demon
strated his aversion for taking
