Oregon Delegation Shuns Team Sports As Eisenhower Opens Baseball Season
By A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Washington Every big
politician in town this week
took the day off to do what
comes unnat
urally; root
for the same
cause in this
case, getting
the Washing
ton ball team
out of the
cellar of the
American
League.
P r e S 1 - A. Robt Smito
dent Eisenhower threw out
the first ball, and it was the
first time this year Sen. Lyn
don Johnson - (D-Tex.). hasn't
tried to steal his thunder.
With his cabinet, close ad-!
visors, relatives and cronies
close about him, the Presi-!
dent had the spotlight. There
wasn't a Democrat within i
camera lens of his box near j
the Washington Senators'
dugout.
It was good Ike went to
Augusta, Ga., for a good
workout the three days be
fore the opening game. Any
fellow pushing 70 would have
to be in the pink to throw a
baseball past the long lineup
of press photographers who
were crowded all over a spe
cial bleacher erected down
on the field. The bleacher
was turned backwards, of
course, because the camera
artists were interested only
in looking at the VTPs in the
grandstand.
Sen. Johnson arrived after
Ike had had his inning. His
outriders about him, the lean
one from Texas loped into a
box seat near home plate.
Sen. William F. Knowland,
the Republican leader in the
Senate, arrived about the
same time. Before you knew
it, there were more senators
in plain sight than I'd seen
from the Senate press gallery
in months.
Oregon's statesmen were
absent, of course. They don't
go in for team sports.
I got to worrying, half
way through the game, who
was tending the store down
town while the big men were
all at Griffiths Stadium. And
suppose the Russians got this
little piece of real estate in
their sights. It would make
Pearl Harbor look like a pic
nic. Maybe we ought to have
a couple of Nike sites in cen
ter field. But I spotted Gen.
Omar Bradley a few seats
away, and somehow the wor
ries shifted to the fact that
the Senators were behind the
Boston Red Sox 2-0.
The only happy face in the
crowd was that of Rep. Joe
Martin of Massachusetts, who
wouldn't root for the Sena
tors if his own grandmother
was one of our pitchers (and
sometimes I think maybe she
is).
The police take good care
of the President. The poor
souls who happen to sit in
a section which finds the
Presidential box between
them and the rest room just
have to make a long detour.
That goes for Supreme Court
justices, too, and if you
think that's justice, ask Jus
tice Tom Clark, a Democrat,
to be sure.
Those nasty rumors the
Democrats have been spread
ing about Ike not working,
that Sherman Adams does all
his work for him, were
knocked for a cocked hat be
fore 26,000 fans and those on
TV who might have had a
glimpse of the chief execu
tive. Ike kept his own score,
pencil and scorecard in hand.
There was an International
twist to the game, for the
Senators' pitcher was a Cu
ban, Pedros Ramos. No one
knew for sure which side of
the Cdban hostilities he might
feel loyal to, but he turned
the opening game into a one
man revolution of his own.
Ramos drove in the clinching
the game while
a beautiful five-
runs of
pitching
hitter.
I found out one thing for
the first time: the chairman
of the District of Columbia
Committee gets the choicest
seats in the park, one of which
I sat in. I saw every curve
ball break from a seat di
rectly behind home plate,
courtesy of Sen. Alan Bible
of Nevada.
Not only did Republicans
and Democrats not take issue
with the 5-2 victory the
Washington team finally fash
ioned, but all those who could
not be there might take com
fort insthe fact that on open
ing day not one major gov
ernmental decision or bill in
Congress was acted on. It
was a day that all taxpayers
could afford.

Den 5 Pack 40 met Thurs
day afternoon, April 10, at the
home of Mrs. Everett Grissom
for a treasure hunt. Harvey
Grissom, chosen as pirate cap
tain took charge of the map.
Land marks on the map led
the boys from the Grissom
home to the feed lot, about
one half mile away, where
the treasure was found. The
treasure, which was equally
divided among the boys, con
sisted of candy bars, brown
ies, marbles, balloons, play
money, pencils ana canay.
Boys going on the treasure
hunt were Harvey Grissom,
Ricky Rainey, Ricky Cote,
Eddy Morgan, Mike De Haas,

den mother, planned the af
fair. Mothers furnishing the
treasure were Mrs. Russel
Fair, Mrs. C. Petrahn, Mrs.
Roy Smith, Mrs. M. G. Cote,
and Mrs. Grissom.
Civilization in
West in Danger
Portland (IP) The chan
cellor of the Oregon System
of Higher Education said here
Wednesday night that only
education can save Western
civilization from a deteriora
tion characterized "more by
fins and fads, luxury spots
and cellophane than the solid
virtues of yesteryear."
Dr. John Richards gave his
evaluation of the course of
the Western world at a dinner
honoring Dr. Dorothy O." Jo
hansen, the Reed College pro
fessor who is retiring from
the Portland school board af
ter eight years.
Dr. Richards declared that
Western civilization may ac
tually have passed its zenith.
He cited failure of the nation
to extend educational re
sources at the same rate as
population growth; failure of
the two-party system to differ
entiate between liberals and
conservatives: anti - intellec-
tualism which is present even
in some universities: recur
ring economic crises, and a
failure to solve the problem
of over-population.
An increasing number of
executives, professionals and
persons who own their own
businesses are moving to
Medford, according to the
quarterly report of Newcom
ers Service.
Executives and profession
als amounted to 24.3 per cent
for the first quarter of 1958
compared with 15.5 per cent
during the same period of
1957. Those owning their own
businesses amounted to 14.7
per cent of the newcomers
this year compared to 7.7 per
cent last year, service figures
show.
The trend to higher income
newcomers was noted further
by 17.3 per cent purchasing
homes this year compared to
10.9 per cent for the previous
year, noted Olive Keller
Lowry, owner and manager
of the service.
"While Newcomers Service
is happy to assist any new
comers to the valley, its pri
mary purpose is quick inter
gration of permanent families
in which the head of the fam
ily is gainfully employed,"
the manager explained.
First-quarter new families
this year represent 401 indi
viduals. They have 95 pre
school children and 76 chil
dren in the 6 to 18 age group.
Deficiencies Told
In Coroner System.
Portland (IP) A leading
pathologist said Wednesday
there are many deficiencies
in the county coroner system
as it usually operates.
Dr. Alan Richards Moritz,
director of the Institute of
Pathology at Western Reserve
University in Cleveland, said
that in half the states it is
not required that coroners be
medical doctors and they are
politically elected.
He said the coroner's job
was one for a technical expert
"in no way bearing on politi
cal qualifications but on
ability."
Dr. Moritz said Maryland
and Virginia had instituted
the state medical examiner
system and that they have
had outstanding results.
