ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington The commercial counselor of the Soviet embassy, M. Gribkev, and his assistant, Y. G v o sdev, were just about the first to arrive the other night at at the party given by the Oregon Cen tennial Com mission for m e m b ers of the f o r e i gn A. Robt Smith diplomatic corps stationed here in the capital. They were friendly and in quisitive about the big trade fair to be held in Portland in 1959, but they wouldn't commit them selves on whether Russia will send an exhibit. But informed sources here say it is a virtual certainty. The Soviets enjoyed tremen dous success" with their exhibit at the Oklahoma trade fair. It was the one which drew the most attention from the crowds, probably out of simple curiosity. After all, it is something of a novelty for Americans to think of Russians making hand carved television sets. But they had them on display in Oklahoma, along with such practical things for that oil-conscious state as oil drilling equipment. They also had a dazzling display of furs. Parties Every Night It didn't detract from the al lure of this Soviet attraction that the Russians sent a staff of some 15 men and a few good looking gals along, all staked out in the best hotel in town where parties for the elite of Oklahoma went on every night. Portland should get set for the same treatment. Those hand carved TV sets may not be com mon outside the Kremlin walls, but the Russians apparently think they make quite an im pression abroad. That's what an exhibit is for. Gribkev was curious about what Oregon produced. When told that lumber was the No. 1 item, he seemed to find it per plexing that lumber should be the principal use of the state's standing timber, and that the drop in housing construction should adversely affect the in dustry of the state. "We have found timber too valuable to be used for hous ing," Gribkev declared. "We are using it for paper and chemi cals.'.' . Russia, as a consequence, has very little wooden housing go ing up, he said, but uses clay products instead. Gvosdev nod ded agreement at everything his superior said. Inquire About Newspapers They wanted to know about Oregon newspapers. I suggested their host, Gov. Robert D. Holmes, might evaluate that. He told them that as an ex-newsman he doesn't go along with the usual - complaint of politi cians about the newspapers not giving enough attention to this or that. "If newspapers printed every thing about all that was happen ing in the world, they would be 1,000 pages thick, and no one would have time to read them," Holmes said. "Do you have any opponents?" they asked Holmes. The gover nor brought wrinkles of perplex ity to their brows when he said, smilingly, that he expected to have opponents from his own as well as the opposition party in the next election. Although they came early and stayed late, the Russian attaches did not mimic in any fashion the cocktail party gregarious ness of Communist Party Boss Nikita Krushchev. When asked What they would like to drink, they specified cognac. Two bran dy glasses of cognac were brought up especially for them. When the two -hour shindig was over, the glasses stood on a table, still brimming with that fine French brandy. What's OK for B. and K. ob viously isn't OK for G. and G. New Planning Man Reports For Work s Planning Technician Ed Lang ford, recently employed by the city, reported for work Monday, according to city officials. Langford's first job with the city will be to make a land-use study of the Berrydale and Grandview areas for zoning recommendations.

Juveniles Arrested On Burglary Charges Central Point Seven juveniles from 14 to 17 years old were ar rested by Central Point police Saturday on charges of burglary, larceny and destruction of pub lic school and city property. They have been released to the custody of their parents to report to juvenile authorities, Central Point police said. The seven youths are charged with breaking into the Central Point junior high school building Friday night by breaking out a window pane. There the youths threw down a small decorated Christmas tree, removed an American flag from the .room and broke an oil line connecting an oil fuel tank and released 25 gallons of fuel oil, according to Central Point police. The same night the youths chopped down a mail box owned by Frank Koch, 412 South First st., police said. The youths are also accused of breaking into two cars parked on Pine st. near Fifth early Sat urday morning. Alcohol and two cases of soft drinks were re moved from one of the cars, the police said.

"The Store of A Thousand Thoughtful Gifts' A MEDFORD CHARGE PLATE STORE The Family Council Editor's not: The Famll? Council consists of a Judge, a psychiatrist, three clergymen, a newspaper editor a women'r editor and two writers Each article Is a summary of an actual report. The family Council does not give advice; it merely reports on problems that Sava been dealt with by responsible agencies and counselors. Helen R. I would go to live ith him if not for Mother. Mrs. S. R. She should accept things as they are. Helen R. I am a woman just past 40, who has found love too late in life. I can't help feeling, however, that I should take what I can while there is still time. For the past year I have been enjoying the company of a man whose wife has been hospitalized for the past few years. There is little possibility of her getting better, but she may last this way for many years. He cannot get a divorce. This man, who i3 childless, has asked me to come live with him. He is a. wonderful person de voted and kind and everything I had looked for in a man. He is even willing to take my aged mother to live with us to and to care for her as a son should. I would not pass up this oppor tunity if it weren't for my moth er. She is furious that I should even consider such a thing. I don't know what I'd do about her. Mrs. S. R. I certainly never expected to have a problem like this with a woman of Helen's age. She has had the best up bringing and comes out of a decent, right-thinking family. How she could even .. consider such an idea is beyond me. too, thought this man was a nice person until he astound ed me by making this proposi tion. How could he possibly think I would be willing to be a party to such a household? How could a mother possibly live with her daughter under such circumstances? It is un . thinkable! It seems to me it is time that Helene should settle down quiet- , ly and adjust to her situation In ! i it rrL. z j j - j i i - we. inis desperate auempi 10 find "love" is not all fitting for a woman of her gae. I would have preferred her to get mar ried, but since she didn't, she should accept things. The Council: If Helene is ser ious about considering this man's offer, she should be willing to recognize that her mother's hor ror is just a foretaste of the social discomforts she would have to face. Surely, she cannot expect to get her mother's and society's blessing to do what is socially condemned. We suspect, however, that more is involved in Helen's hesi tation. In addition to her natural desire for social acceptance and an equally natural desire to doj the right thing from a moral pointof view, is the strong emr tional need to know that her man really belongs to her. She can't have these things under the setup proposed by this man.' Helene is now building up a false case that her domineering mother is preventing her from fulfilling herself in love at this late, and perhaps last, oppor tunity. If she adopts the notion that fate and her mother have been cruel to her, she is headed j for a bitter, as well as lonely, i later life. It is time she assumed 1 the responsibility for creating ; her own life. We don't accept Mrs. S. R.'s idea that Helene must "adjust" to her present situation. Helene i can probably find a much fuller j life than she is now living j with or without marriage. ' But j she must first recongnize she has j to create that life out of her own j desires and abilities.
