Kobt SnuLn By ROBERT A. SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington The latest cen sus report makes it appear rela tively certain that Oregon wiil get another con gressional seat after 1960 as a result of its steady gain in population. This will in crease Oregon's strength in th3 House of Rep r e s entatives from four to five members, (Ir.d make it the third largest congressional delegation of all ti) western states. California, which now has JO '(gbngressmen, will probably pi;x ujk (feven more in 1960 because qC&'I tremendous growth in this urrent decade. Washington (Sate, which now has seven, wiil probably just miss getting its dlghth. Washington got its sev Cjnh congressional seat after the MoO census. Ha Four Seats Colorado, which now has four' seats, is not expected to pick up enough to keep up with Ore no.i after the next census. Ari zona is the only other western state expected to get another seat, its third. Oregon won its last boost in congressional voting strengt?i after the 1940 census. Prior to tftat time, the stat had thrae (gfongressional districts the first containing all those coun ties west of the Cascades wiiii tha exception of Multnomah; the second all counties east of the Cascades; and the third Multno mah county alone. When the fourth district was authorized, the state legislature cut the new district out of the lower half of the first and left the others undisturbed. The next redistricting of the state is apt to be more complex, with political aspects. Up To Legislature It will be up to the legislature to carve out a new fifth district, but now that there is hot rival ry between both major political parties for seats in Congress it NO FASHION CAREER FOR PEGGY? Peggy longs for the day when the three magic wordi, "Designs by Peggy," will mean she's arrived in the fashion world. But she needs a lot of good schooling to make her wish come true. Unfortunately, Peggy lives in a community where there's Brrious shortage of classrooms, teachers and good schoolbooks. That means less schooling for Peggy than she needs. Let's see that this doesn't hap pen in our schools.

Th Washington state legislature failed several times to redistrict that state after 1950, forcing the new congressman to serve the sta-.e at-large. When it finally worked out an acceptable plan in its session earlier this year, it involved dividing Seattle into two districts, one relatively sale for the Democrats and the other considered fairly safe for the Re publicans. From a population standpoint, the state's biggest congressional district is the third represented by Edith Green. Its 1950 popu lation was 471,537.' The nation al pverage population for con gressional districts that year wss 34d.000. The first district, represented by Walter Norblad, had 434, 414 residents in 1950. The fourth district, represented by Charles O. Porter, had 368,007. And the eastern Oregon district, represen ted by Al Ullman, had 247,383. Constant Growth Because of the constant growth of the country and the determination of the Congress to hold the size of the House down to its present number, 435 members, each congressman as the years pass has a larger 'con stituency. By 1960, the average number of residents in each dis trict will be 408.000, compare! with 346,000 in 1950 and 301,000 in 1940. By 1960 all three of Oregon s present districts west of the Cas cades will be larger than the nt:onal average, so they migiit each be altered to make roo-n for the new .fifth district. As these three districts are now constituted under current po'itical conditions, Mrs. Green s d;strict is considered fairly safe for the Democrats, Norblad's dis trict fairly safe for Republicans, and Porter's district a tossup. Any drastic revision of their boundaries to create the new fjf'h district could have signifi cant, political effects not only in the new district but the oth er three as well. This will give more significance than ever to the result of elections whic.i will decide which party controls the legislature and thereby gairs the upper hand in redistricting the state.

Irene My parents are partial toward my kid brother. Mrs. M. R. She's been jeal ous of him.all her life. Irene R. I am a 15-year-old girl and I have so much trouble with my kid brother it's just ter rible. Fred is 13, but he has a mind of about 4. He is allowed to do anything he pleases and he never gets blamed for anything. My parents will never hit Fred. They spoil him because he has a slight (very slight) handi cap from a childhood sickness. They don't make him do any thing around the house, but I have to do everything. There isn't any reason why he can't do the dishes or help out with different little things. I'm the one who is always called on to go to the store and other things like that. I don't suppose my parents will ever love me as much as Fred. Aflrfr all, he's their baby boy. But they could at least try to be fair. Mrs. M. R. We have tried very hard to teach Irene to love her brother, but she has been terribly jealous of him all her life. She is physically much stronger than he and has been beating him up regularly since they were babies.' When we point out Fred has a handicap, she accuses us of loving him more because of it. Fred is a little behind In school because of his illness, so we try to give him more time for his homework by relieving him of some of the household chores. Irene says the meanest things to him. calling him stunid and a sissy because she can beat mm up. Things have gotten so bad I am very much inclined to take my sister up on an offer to have Irene stay with her for a year. She has no children and loves Irene. The Council: Difficult as it is to put up with the squabblings of jealous teenagers, these par ents should try to weather through this period without sending Irene away from home. The more troublesome she is, the more she needs proof of her parents' love and loyalty. Sending her to live with a dot ing aunt may please and flatter at first, but in the long run it would only be interpreted as an attempt to get rid of her. From the picture given by both Irene and her mother, it appears Irene is at least as handicapped as her mother. She is emotionally crippled by her jealous rage. These feelings can't be just blown away and she can't be "taught" to love her brother. In fact, she'll have to first learn to love herself and the way she learns is tflrough truly believing she is loved by her parents. It .would probably help Irene to get some special attention from her father. The feeling she is somewhat of a favorite of his because she is a girl will help to restore her self-confidence. The household chores should be apportioned as fairly as possible, but if Irene is called ES3 Shop Together TONIGHT For Imprinted Christmas Cards 35 Albums to Choose From On the Balcony SArl rT jBOOKSaFTS RECORDS Bodies Possibly Blown Info Woods Alexandria, La.

She should also be encourag ed to exercise her abilities out side the home to join clubs and take part in school activi ties. This will draw her feelings away from the sore spots.

Toftoy, Commanding General of the Army's Redstone arsenal, said Saturday that the Army decided lo enter the guid ed missile field before the end of World War II. Toftoy, one of the key figures in the Army's "new look," is the man responsible for "operation paper clip," the roundup of Ger man scientists and engineers who fashioned the terrifying V-2 rocket and their eventual settling-down in the United States to launch this nation in th2 missile and rocket field. The teamwork of the Germans and U.S. Army men paid off Friday when Defense Secretary Neil H. McElroy directed the Army to make the necessary preparations to launch an earth satellite. It climaxed an uphill fight for the Army to get into the "moon" field. special Bonnie Caf Food 2$ OFF at your grocers now : v 4 r 7M7 iv i . - f X ' FN OY r AEFFCFF PFTIff FMFNT with nn mnnpv wnrriot ali'y through Life Insurance carefully planned NOW.
