o o Oregon's Congressional! Delegation Cooperating on Problems off State A. Robl Smitfc A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune 9tshinglon Correspondent Washington Behind the po litical front lines, where all the firing is coming from be- ws tween mem- gon s congres sional delega tion, there ap pears to be continued co- 0 p e ration on 1 e g i s lative problems con cerning the state. There is no evidence to date of one senator sticking the knife in another's bill to the point of killing it, with the single exception of the Lilly Moore bill last summer that would have given an old house to the city of Roseburg. Sen. Wayne Morse killed it the day Sen. Richard L. Neuberger thought the Senate would pass his measure, after Rep. Char les O. Porter got it through the House. Morse demanded the city pay half its value. Confer On Bill .Last Friday, on the other hand, legislative assistants from the offices of Morse, Neu berger and Rep. AI Ullman all conferred to draft a bill which their bosses expect to sponsor jointly concerning flooding out a town on the Columbia river when the John Day dam reservoir is completed. Arlington, in Gilliam coun- Itnraibtr Dad n Its taf . Sunday, Jaw 21 wrtii FATHER'S DAY CARDS 217 E. MAIN Medford ty, will be about half under water when the reservoir is filled. The Corps of Engineers has already been authorized to fill in this section of the town after the water rises, al lowing the town to be moved back to its original location. But for legal reasons, legisla tion will be necessary to guar antee that the town- gets the newly-filled land at its fair market value, rather than some private interest which might bid higher. Thus the lines of commun ication remain open and busy between the offices of the members of the delegation, even though some of the mem bers themselves are, for all practical purposes, not on speaking terms with one another. Polite Fashion The senators, to be sure, say, "Hi Dick" and "Hi Wayne" in polite fashion when they encounter one another at a social function, as they did the night the Portland Cham ber of Commerce invited them all to dinner at the Army Navy club. But they don't seek one another out. They appear to avoid one another most of the time on the floor of the Sen ate chamber where their desks are located about 25 feet apart. However, recently they did engage in a floor discussion together briefly, when they were co-sponsoring an amend ment to a California irrigation bill designed to safeguard the 160-acre land limitation law. Unlike last year, there are no hot letters being exchanged in private between the sena tors or any others in the del egation, so far as could be de termined. Morse, Rep. Edith Green and Ullman reportedly agreed among themselves not to have further personal cor- INVITED TO MOVIE SET Vienna (CPU Italian screen star Sophia Loren has invited Soviet Defense Minister Mar shal Rodion Malinovsky to sit in on the filming of her latest movie "Olympica."

No Breakfast Meetings This year there have been no delegation breakfast meet ings as such. Neuberger, Port er and Rep. Walter Norblad had one breakfast meeting to which the others refrained from attending. Then, ironic ally, they all had breakfast to gether later on when the League' of Women Voters pas sed out the invitations. Some who attended the bi weekly breakfast meetings, the five Oregon Democrats in stituted in 1957 said they were the forum for some per sonal bickering and accomp lished little of a substantive nature. They are glad they've been dropped, leaving inter office cooperation for the oc casions that demand it when a problem faces the state where congressional help may be the answer.

Back Stairs: President's Autograph I "" - ; - ivt000 By MERRIMAN SMITH UPI White House Reporter Washington - (UPD - Back stairs at the White House: Only rarely does President Eisenhower sign autographs in public.

Central Ffuhrer BIdg. that they mail the cirds to him. Eisenhower is pretty good about signing such things as menus and programs, even if it does on occasion take many weeks before they get back to the individual who made the request. Firm Stand Dissolves The President's firm stand, which, incidentally is quite encouraged" by the Secret Service, dissolved the other night here when he' had din ner with several thousand Re publicans honoring the GOP members of Congress. Movie actor John Wayne was the toastmaster and nat urally 1 attracted a lot of autograph seekers. Armed wi$h Waynels signature, many of the diners then approached Mrs. Eisenhower. And the next step logically was to brace the President. As he said later, he made his fatal mistake when he signed the' first one. The next thing he knew, he was liter ally besieged. The front of the table where he was sitting was mobbed. Even waitresses who were supposed to be serv ing the meal put aside their trays for the moment and joined the mob. . . . Secret Service, agents .in front of the President stood their ground gamely, but they had their limitations. After all, this was a Republican dinner where the pew holders planked down $100 a plate. Son Will Be Proud One waitress ran along the edge of the head table waving an . autographed menu and crying, "My son will be proud of me even if I get fired for this." ; The banquet manager of the Sheraton Park Hotel stood in the wings and glanced bale fully at the hub-hub in front of Eisenhower. At this point the question was how to cut off the auto graph seekers without com mitting political sin. There were whispered con ferences between the Secret Service and the White House political expert Appointment Secretary Thomas E. Steph ens. A quiet message was passed along to actor Wayne and he got to his feet to an nounce somewhat sadly that the crowd was getting too great and would the auto graph seekers please desist immediately. Then the President, far be hind the other diners, got to eat a few mouthfuls of his din ner. ' , . Covered Swearing in One of Washington's most distinguished and best - liked reporters is Edward T. Folli ard of the Washington. Post and Times Herald. Eddie recently enjoyed a long vacation and returned to work in time to cover the White House swearing-in of Thomas S. Gates Jr., as Depu ty Secretary of Defense in the White House conference room. Per custom, the President after the ceremony moved down a line of Gates' relatives shaking hands. Because of the crowd in the room, Folliard was pushed close to the end of the reception line. The next thing he knew, the President had grabbed his hand and was shaking it vigorously. Then Eisenhower looked up and went into a movie - type double-take. "Why, Eddie," the Presi dent burst out with a laugh, "What in the world-" Folliard retreated imme diately from his new-found status as a member of the Gates family.
