HalL Stoner Lusk, a dis
tinguished Oregon jurist for
30 years, goes to Washington,
D.C., his birthplace, next week
as a member of the United
States Senate.
He was appointed Tuesday
to serve until general elec
tion day Nov. 8.
The Oregon judiciary is
nonpartisan, but Lusk, 76, has
been a life-long Democrat and
his appointment conforms
with an Oregon law requir
ing that an appointed succes
sor to a U.S. Senator must be
of the same political party.
Lusk had been a member
of the high court since 1937
and is a former chief justice.
Five Daughters
He is married to the for
mer Sara Catherine Emmons,
to whom he refers formally
as "Mrs. Lusk." They have
five daughters, three of them
married, one a Carmelite nun
at Santa Clara, Calif., and
one in Sacramento, Calif.
Lusk is short in stature,
wears glasses, combs a mat of
gray-black hair sharply to the
right side. He has a deep voice
and a dry sense of humor.
His passion for objective
tends often to make him speak
of himself in the third person
as though looking at himself
through another's eyes. He
has established a wide repu
tation for sound legal opin
ions and the ability to see all
sides of an issue.
Popular for Patience
He is popular among attor
neys for his patience on the
bench. His questions are
sharp but not biting. But he
is impatient with the red tape
that benefits criminals and
has advocated speedier jus
tice.
His humor and feel for the
niceties of fact were blended
in a widely reported decision
when he was a circuit judge
in 1935. He acquitted a man
charged with using dynamite
to kill fish. The fish in ques
tion was a whale in the Wil
lamette river, and Lusk ruled
it was a mammal, not a fish,
and thus was not a violation.
Was Precinct Worker
He is a defender of consti
tutional liberties but recog
nizes that the clock can't be
turned back to "the good old
days." While he believes that
too much power in Washing
ton could threaten individual
freedom, he has said "we do
not meet this danger by vain
ly wishing that we could re
turn to simpler days. We are
faced with a situation with
which we must deal."
Lusk never held party of
fice, but served as a Demo
cratic precinct committeeman
for several years as a young
man, and twice ran for the
. , -i i - 1 1 i '
state legisiaiure-m ine eariy
1920s when Portland and
Multnomah county were sol
idly Republican and no Dem
ocrats were elected. "
Lusk is a law graduate of
Georgetown University in
Washington. He came to Ore
gon in 1909, eventually joined
his father-in-law's law firm,
and was first appointed to cir
cuit court in Portland by Gov
was appointed to the state
supreme court in 1937 ana nas
served continually since.
He said that while he would
be in the Senate only a short
time, "there will be heavy
duties and responsibilities and
I intend to discharge them to
the best of my ability." His
appointment was praised by
Mrs. Maurine Neuberger,
widow of the late senator,
who will run for the full sen
ate term in this year's elections.

East Germany (Beginning
To Take on industrial Look
Editor's note: West Germany's
booming prosperity has made an
impact throughout the world, but
less is known of how Communist
ruled East Germany is faring. The
United Press International chief
correspondent in Germany recently
went into the Communist state to
see things for himself. In the fol
lowing two dispatches he reports
on his findings.
By WELLINGTON LONG
Bonn - IUPD - The smell of
absolute poverty that used to
permeate East German com
munities isall but gone now.
Its young women are begin
ning to dress with a bit of
style. No one goes hungry
any longer. . Even the beer
tastes pretty good.
Compared to economically
booming West Germany, East
Germany still seems a little
grim. It's a place where po
lice always patrol in pairs
and where you rarely get a
napkin, even a paper one, at
the dinner table.
May Buy Car
But there's butter on the
table, and it is even possible
A. W. Norblad", father of Rep. I now to buy a domestic car
Walter Norblad (R-Ore.). He I called the "Wartburg" - a
three-cylinder job. It ranks
well below the West German
Volkswagen and retails at an
expensive 15,000 marks, the
equivalent of $3,570. Repair
parts for the car are almost
imnossible to eet. Still, it's a
symbol that things have been
looking up behind the German
Iron Curtain.
There are other shortages.
There are few bicycles be
cause bicycle parts are hard
to find. As in all communist
countries shoes are poorly de
signed and made.
Even East German vice
premier and real boss Walter
Ulbrieht has admitted "a
thousand little things" that
make life comfortable are
missing.
Partly the things that are
missing is a result of cen
tralized state planning and
maldistribution, partly it's be
cause the communist regime
in East Berlin is spending
every spare pfennig on heavy
industry.
The communist-run part of
Germany used to include the
nation's breadbasket. But the
communists intend to trans
form it into an industrial cen
ter. And they are well on their
way. Steel is being made in
factories using Russian ore
and Polish coke. Industrial
production rose about 12 per
cent in 1959, and foreign
trade went up about 13 per
cent. But whereas pre-war
Germany's trade with Russia
was only roughly three per
cent of its total, 60 per cent
of East Germany's foreign
trade today is with the Soviet
Union.
House and apartment con
struction is running at a rate
less than half that in West
Germany, but it is well up
from a year ago.
Democrats swept Alaska's
first state election last No
vember, taking the five major
offices at stake and control of
both houses of the state Legislature.
The Family Council
Editor's Note: The Family Council consists of a Judge, a psychiatrist,
three clergymen, a newspaper editor a women's editor and two writers.
Each article is a summary of an actual rase history. The Council reports
on problems that have been dealt wt h by responsible agencies and
counselors. '
Mrs. R. R. - My daughter
shouldn't work.
Beverly Z. - It would make
make me a better companion.
Mrs. R. R. - I am trying to
influence my married daugh
ter to stay at home where
she belongs and take care of
her children instead of going
out to work.
Beverly doesn't have to
work. Her husband is making
a good living and her children
need her at home.
I'm afraid Beverly is copy
ing me. I went to work - but
mainly because I had to. We
couldn't make ends meet on
my husband's salary. Yet to
day I regret it. I feel we could
somehow have squeezed
through and I missed so many
valuable, wonderful hours
with my children.! am still
working and I wish I could
quit and stay home with some
lovely children. But we can't
retrace our steps.
,
Beverly Z. I'm giving
Mother a chance to retrace
her steps, but she won't take
it. I'd love it if she'd stay
home and look after my chil
dren while I work. She says
she'll do nothing to cooperate
with me.
Actually, I feel my children
are able to take care of them
selves. I have a girl of 15 and
two boys - 12 and 8. My
daughter Ann is very reliable
and the boys are quite inde
pendent. Ann can keep an
eye on them after school.
I had a good career in busi
ness before my daughter was
born and I miss it. I feel I will
be a better companion to the
children and my husband if I
get a fresh point of view. My
husband doesn't take sides. He
wants me to do as I please.
The Council: The "compan
ion" idea in family life has
been considerably overdone
and distorted.
The fact that a woman lives
the same sort of life as a man
doesn't necessarily make her
more companionable. Many
career women are social duds,
but an alert woman who
spends her days at home can
bring the enrichment of a dif
ferent point of view and a dif
ferent pace to the harried
breadwinner.
It is sad that Beverly feels
she has little to offer her fam
ily unless she goes to work,
but she should analyze her
situation a little more care
fully to see where she might
be able to freshen her view
point without the drastic step
of going to work.
Yes, we do think that a
mother's going to work is a
drastic step. Beverly's chil
dren are not of a suitable age
to be left alone. The teenage
girl needs time and attention.
She shouldn't be burdened
with the care of two brothers
when this isn't necessary. And
the two brothers are too old
to be bossed by a sister. Chil
dren are willing to accept
such a setup when it is essen
tial for mother to go out to
earn money, but they, under
stand and resent it when she
simply wants to get away
from the home and them.
However, a woman who
sticks to her duties as ' wife
and mother in a resentful
spirit is doing no great serv
ice to her family. If Beverly
cannot reconcile herself to her
present role, she should face
the fact and recognize that if
she goes to work it will be
because she wants to very
much. It will not be to make
a good companion of herself.
Incidentally, the silence of
the husband in this case may
be rooted in hurt feelings
about the fact that his wife
has not found sufficient satis
faction in her present role.
