Russian Interest Indicated in
Oregon Trade Fair Due in 1959
By A. 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.

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.
