Back Stairs: The Vacation White House
Greta R. People resent us
because of our education.
Claude R. We should keep
to ourselves.
Greta R. My husband and
I are both college graduates, but
because of certain circumstanc
es' my husband never got locat
ed in a white collar job. As a
result we are very misplaced
people.
I suppose it Is because of our
educational background that
people seem to resent us. We
have nothing but trouble in all
the different neighborhoods
where we have lived. There are
constant fights between our
three boys and the other chil
" dren In the area. This would be
bad enough, but when the ad
ults get into the act and com
plain about our children and
threaten them, it is really too
much.
I feel we should relocate In
some entirely new area. We
need a fresh start in a place
where people are different in
their attitudes. There must be
some place where people are
willing to live peaceably togeth
er. My husband says I make too
much of things and he refuses
to budge.
Claude R. We have made
about 12 moves in the 12 years
of our marriage and that costs
plenty of money, yet we've nev
er been any happier in one place
than another. I figure it's time
to call it quits and settle down.
Greta is so sensitive. She takes
everything to heart. She worries
and broods about the things
people say to her and the fights
the children get into. All boys
fight. She is always writing let
ters to newspapers and civic
officials complaining about con
ditions in our neighborhood.
People don't like that.
I figure we should just keep
to ourselves and not have any
dealings with anyone. We should
also keep the boys home more.
They have one another for com
panionship. They should stay in
evenings, anyway, and do their
homework.
If we moved to a different
area, I couldn't be sure of get
ting work in my line. .
The Council: Greta and
Claude have a serious problem
and it can't be solved by run
ning away to a different area
or hiding themselves and their
cTiildren.
These children are not get

Grants Pass Firm
Merges With Arden
Grants Pass Zottola Dairy
Products, Inc., Grants Pass, re
cently merged with Arden
Farms company, according to
Dave Walsh, Medford Arden
manager.
Palmer Zottola will continue
to manage the Grants Pass com
pany for Arden. Palmer Zottola
Jr. will be production manager,
Walsh said.
The announcement of merger
was made Wednesday by both
the Grants Pass firm and the
Arden office in Seattle. Arden
officials said the Zottola merger
would make service in the
Grants Pass area more complete.
bringing and Greta and Claude
must go about changing their
attitudes so that they and their
children can live happily with
others.
Greta must recognize that she
has been creating her own en
vironment. Most people are
willing to "live peaceably to
gether." An individual who finds
conflict in one neighborhood af
ter another is creating conflict.
Greta is all wrong in her no
tion that people "resent" her
because of her college back
ground. Educated persons are
welcome in every community if
they don't use their education
as a weapon to hurt or belittle
others.
Greta appears to suffer from
a sense of having lost status be
cause her husband doesn't hold
a "white collar job." This is
nonsense in our fluid, democrat
ic society. Her husband deserves
credit for having the flexibility
to work in the field that gives
him an honest living, regardless
of prestige considerations.
Greta's sense of persecution
appears to be deep-rooted and
she may require some psychiat
ric help. She should discuss this
with a doctor or trained social
worker attached to a family
agency.

Crime Rate Higher
In First 6 Months
Washington (TP) FBI rec
ords showed today that crime
boomed in the United States dur
ing the first six months of 1957.
FBI Director J. Edgar Hoov
er said more major crimes were
committed during the first half
of the year than in any similar
period on record.
Hoover said reports from 3,023
police departments across the
country indicated there were 1,
399,670 major crimes in the six
months period. That' would be an
average of about one crime every
11.2 seconds.
The FBI chief said this rate
represented an 8.4 per cent in
crease over the rate for The first
six months of last year.
Hoover said that while the
bulk of the nation's crimes oc
curred in cities, rural crime is
increasing more rapidly than
city crime.

By MERRIMAN SMITH
United Press White House Writer
Newport, R. . I. OP) Back
stairs at the vacation White
House:
It is stretching a point to call
the presidential establishment
here the vacation White House,
considering the long hours spent
these past three weeks coping
with the Little Rock problem.
But it is beyond the realm of
all reality to refer to it as the
"summer White House." Last
Tuesday morning, when the
President flew back to Coasters
Harbor Island Naval Base, it was
colder here than it was in parts
of Alaska.
The temperature has been
running close to 40 degrees at
night, but warming up to ideal
Indian summer weather in the
middle of the day.
Press Secretary James C. Hag-
erty was asked the other day
as he is almost every day
about the duration of the Eisen
howers' stay in Newport.
He replied, "I know of no
plans to return to Washington."
"Ever?" asked a travel-weary
Washington reported.
Hagerty laughed and hastily
added "this week."
The President is receiving a
mound of invitations to visit
estates, clambakes and other
forms of social activity in this
area, but thus far he has seemed
interested primarily in meeting
people on the golf course of the
Newport Country Club.
Henry Ford II, for example,
has been invited to play with
him.
Harold S. Vanderbilt, the
noted bridge expert and one of
the yachting clan, was here re
cently to join Eisenhower and
some of his friends for a few
nights of cards. There have been
some other non-golfing guests,
but for the most part their names
have been kept rather quiet.
About the only way to deter
mine whether the Eisenhowers
are entertaining guests is to
watch the first hole of the coun
try club course and see who tees
off with the President.
The fact that Mrs. Eisenhower
is rarely in public evidence
here is no indicator of her activi
ty. Actually, within the presi
dential quarters on the naval
base overlooking Narragansett
Bay, she is busy daily wth her
secretary, Mrs. Mary Jane Mc-Caffree.
The First Lady has been put
ting in quite a bit of time on
plans for the visit of the British
Queen next month. She also is
handling a volume of correspondence.

Northwest Power
Shortage Predicted
Tacoma (IP) The Bonne
ville Power Administration said
here Thursday that unless there
is heavy rainfall in the upper
Columbia and the Snake river
region before the winter freeze,
the Pacific Northwest will face
its most critical power shortage
in history.
BPA officials made the state
ment to some 65 Pacific North
west private and public utility
'representatives at a meeting of
the Technical I n t e r-Agency
Power Committee from Wash
ington, D.C.
They would not say a power
shortage does or will exist but
did say the situation will call
for the use of all possible steam
power in the area in the months
ahead.
It was revealed that August
and September have recorded
the lowest water flow in the Co
lumbia than at any time during
the previous critical power
shortages.
