Social Events
There was only one place in Russia where his group of
touring educators was not received with friendliness Dr.
Leonard Mayfield told Jackson County Republican women
at a luncheon Monday noon. That place was the United
States embassy in Moscow.
Dr. Mayfield said the men "were like a bunch of kids"
when they saw the American flag at the embassy building
Dr. Leonard Mayfield this was even more conspicu
ous because of the friendliness and courtesy of the Russians.
Russians to whom they were introduced officially, those in
factories, schools or other institutions, were all exceedingly
courteous and tried to be helpful in every way, the Medford
man reported. If one of the Americans wanted directions,
any Russian would not only give directions, he would drop
whatever he was doing or postpone wherever he was going
and personally escort the visitors.
When Russians heard the visitors speak, and recognized
the language, they often made friendly overtures, he said.
Everyone, particularly students, apparently made every ef
fort to answer all questions and to proviue any information
the traveling educators wanted.
During the tour the Russians asked many questions of
the Americans, too, and the visitors answered as best they
could. One Russian and a couple of the Americans exchanged
views on political parties, and one of the teachers tried to
explain the party system here. When the American said
said "I am a Democrat and John Doe here is a Republican1
the Russian quickly asked "Do
President Eisenhower is extremely popular with the Rus
sian people, Dr. Mayfield discovered. Everywhere the travel
ers went, the Russians spoke
and praised him. When it came to Vice-President Nixon, how
ever, the Russians were much less enthusiastic, he said
Those who followed American current political events close
ly enough to know of both Vice-President Nixon and Nelson
Rockefeller invariably said they liked what they heard about
Rockefeller more than Nixon,
In many of his talks Dr.
the Russians, though not now
standards, are nevertheless an extremely well-behaved and
apparency moral people. The divorce rate is low, crime is at
a minimum, juvenile delinquency is no where' near as pre
valent as it is in this nation, the Russians are well-behaved
in public and there is little emphasis on sex, he said.
When Dr. Mayfield spoke

residence of the mayor. He added that it is the only residence
left in all Manhattan which is occupied by only one family;
all others on the island (which has several million inhabitants)'
are living in multiple housing
This is not to say that New York's housing is as crowded,
or may not be better, than Moscow. We have no way of
judging. However, a recent issue of the New York Times
quoted a decorator as saying that few New Yorkers could
afford rooms in their apartments which did not serve more
than one purpose. Halls must
rooms become bedrooms by
such a premium that baskets

An article by John Fischer,
describes the appalling over-crowded conditions m America s
largest city and said a campaign should be waged to warn
people from moving there.
On the other hand, a former Medford resident who has
lived down the peninsula from San Francisco in recent years
and who was recently transferred to New York wrote that
he found housing on Long Island more abundant and cheaper
than the San Francisco area.
..
Potpourri called the Mayfield home last night and Mrs
M. said yes, "my husband is home, believe it or not." In
case this sounds like an unkind remark, let us hasten to
point out that Dr. Mayfield, since' coming home from a
month in Russia, has become the most popular speaker in the
city. He not only fills almost-every-day engagements, but
sometimes talks to two groups
Monday Dr. Mayfield said
many speeches he's given, but knew he had been booked
for 55, with a few yet to go. Recently he has been forced
to tell groups that he would be glad to talk, but at some
later time. "I'm getting too far behind in my school work,"
was the reason.
Monday Dr. Mayfield, who

trusted their leaders. "I know that under the Communist
philosophy, the leaders are prepared to do anything to ad
vance their cause. I think we should keep our powder
dry."-O.S.

Promotion of Good Taste
Aim of New Organization
By GAY PAULEY
UPI Women's Editor
New York - (LTD - One wo
man's conviction that bad
taste in America must go and
good taste
must grow
spurred the
foundation of
a new nation
a 1 organiza
tion announc
ed today.
It is the
American In
stitute of Ap-
G.7 Pauley proval, Inc., a
non-profit and. non-commercial
project to "maintain and
heighten standards of good
taste. . ."
Its founder is Lady Mal
colm Douglas-Hamilton, Boston-born
socialite who per
haps is best known for the
"Bundles for Britain" proj
ect which she established in
1939 to help our World War
II ally.
The institute lias a rotating
panel of 75 American women
leaders in social, charitable,
civic, professional and cultu
ral circles, who "as a public
service," said Lady Douglas
Hamilton, will act as consult
ans to industry on a specific
product or projected line.
Panelists Named
Panelists include Mrs. Wal
ter P. Chrysler, Jr., a patron
of the arts; actress-author Il
ka Chase; career girl Anita
Colby; Mrs. W. R. Hearst, Jr.,
wife of the New York publish
er; Mrs. Barry Bingham, wife
of the president and editor-in-chief
of the Louisville Courier-Journal
and Times; Mrs.
John Sherman Cooper, wife
of the Kentucky senator; so
cially prominent Mrs. Searle
Whitney of New York; Mrs.
Grayson Kirk, wife of the
president of Columbia Uni
versity; and Mrs. Earl E. T.
Smith, former model, fashion
designer and wife of the for
mer ambassador to Cuba.
-The institute will attempt
to upgrade the taste rating of
products where women tradi
tionally have a voice in buy-
ing-pre-fab houses, furniture,
cars, china, appliances, to
name a few.
How about women's fashions?-
"Well," said Lady Douglas-Hamilton,
"we thought
we'd like to get established
with things for the home.
But if a clothing manufactur
er comes to us, why of course
Will Charge Fee
Any industry which con
sults the panel will pay a
"nominal fee," based on gross
income "because we want to
get small as well as big busi
ness consulting us." The fees
will go to the maintenance of
an administrative staff, and
panelists will receive a $100
honorarium for serving.
Periodically, the institute
will present an "award of ap
proval" for' products and de
signs it has reviewed.
"I want to stress that ours
will be an honest approval,"
she said. "Awards so often
get commercial. Ours won't
ever be bought."
"What is good taste?" I
asked her.
Economist Advises
On New Appliances
Corvallis - Meal - planners
who put Christmas gift appli
ances to work now will find
an extra hand around the
kitchen helpful almost every
day of the year .
An appliance in hand is
worth more than several sel-ddm-used
ones that take up
storage room on the cupboard
shelf waiting for "special oc
casion" use, says Miss Bernice
Strawn, Oregon State college
extension home economist.
Here are her suggestions for
use of small appliances such
as the blender, griddle and
trypan.
Use electric outlets in the
dining room and kitchen con
venient to where appliance
is used. Avoid long extension
cords, she advises, which are
easily tripped over, and often
inefficient.
Store - appliances where
they're going to be most often
used. For some, this may be
the kitchen; dining and fam
ily room may be handiest for
others. Miss Strawn recom
mends storing appliances on
an open . shelf, at a height
where the appliance can be
plugged in without moving it.

"I knew you'd bring that
up," she smiled. "It is inde
finable . . . intangible. Like
trying to say what is a good
man. But to me, good taste
represents the instinct of fit
ness of things. It is knowing
what is appropriate and suit
able for the time and place.
"There are thousands of
women in America today with
what I call good taste. And
any of them could have serv
ed on the panel; the ones
chosen just happened to be
women I know."
Lady Douglas-Hamilton re
fused to go into examples of
bad taste in American design
"because we are starting with
a constructive outlook."
She said the project grew
from the "shock" she felt
while living in Britain after
the war when her Scotsman
husband was a member -of
Parliament at finding for
eigners so critical of Ameri
can taste.
The institute's director will
serve without pay-'Tm just
a causer," said the attractive
dark-haired woman who since
World War II has worked to
further NATO, founded the
"Common Cause," an organi
zation to fight Communism,
and now is active in "Friends
for Haiti," which is working
for the economic rehabilita
tion of that Caribbean island.
J asked Natalie Douglas-
Hamilton why there were no
men on the panel. Was it be
cause she thought men had
poor taste?
"Oh heavens no,"-she said.
"We started with women be
cause we were aiming for the
woman consumer. But every
body else is asking the same
thing, so our board plans to
let the men be heard, too."
