Maurine Neuberger Says Political Campaigns Growing More Difficult Br YVONNE FRANKLIN Washington Bureau Washington (Speclal-"You know, I am Just discovering the facts of life. You don't run a campaign the way you used to," laughed Maurine Neuberger, facing her first Washington press conference in a new role as senatorial candidate. Smiling confidently, Mrs. Neuberger fielded questions like a political pro, and the newsmen and women crowded into the tiny office at the Democratic committee lobbed a few fast ones. But if she was nervous, it showed not at all. Mrs. Neuberger Is anxious about money however. She remembered how easy it used to be when she campaigned with her husband going to small towns, staying the night with a friendly farmer, mak ine a sDcech before the local Grange, then off to another town. "Now you have to have so much money," she mourned. "You have to have television. There are travel expenses. You have to keep an office going. I am more and more interested in my husband's plan to have federal financing especially when I now see what a candidate is up against." Mrs. Neuberger has been staying very quietly in Wash ington for the past few weeks, going over her husband's files, sorting, deciding what to keep and what to toss away. Letters Sought "Since that article appeared saying I was throwing some things away, I have been get ting all sorts of letters beg ging, me not to. Little boys write that they are collecting papers of famous men, and ask for Dick's letters," she said. Mrs. Neuberger is seriously considering making some of her husband's files available to universities and state ar chives, to show the people "what a senator does." She feels that people generally do not have a full realization of what a senator is called upon to do. "I expect the people of Ore gon to vote for me for myself," she said when asked if she in tended running on her hus- band'a record. "One thing 1 certainly can never do is go before the peo ple of my state and have them think for one moment that can be a replacement. I'm just not adequate to be a replace ment for Dick. He was a real scholar of politics and govern ment. "The people of Oregon know me; they know my work. I hope they will sup port me for myself alone," she said. Although Mrs. Neuberger smiled easily and often as she swept gracefully through the questioning, she confessed to having had a "sleep problem" lately. She said that she has so much to do that she lies awake at night thinking about it. Her youthful figure was much thinner; this and the black dress she wore were the only outward indications of her unspoken grief. This short time in Washington is all that she has had to herself since Sen. Neubergcr'i death. Maurine Neuberger did not spell out specific legislation she would endorse, but said that her legislative interests were principally in the field of health and education, or anything that had to do with community and consumer in terest. "One field that we had little inquiry about in the office was that of foreign affairs. When Dick and I used to go around to speak, we found great interest on college cam puses, but not much else where," she said. "Why spend all that money dollar for dollar laPointt'i saves you money SALE M MATERNITY DRESSES After Enter Clearance Sale of 2 piece Mater nity Dresses. A large -variety regularly to ; 19.93 next 3 day only. In Europe when I need a new road by my house," was the reaction most commonly heard by the Neubergers. Al though she spoke of herself as "no expert in foreign affairs" she hoped to win more people in Oregon to seeing the need for America's participation in world affairs. Writes Own Speeches Would she write her own speeches? "I always write my own speeches. I always have," she grinned. She pondered a bit over a question about whether she thought she would get the "women's vote." She said that she believes women vote "as voters, not as women." When a male reporter coun tered, asking if it weren't true that millions of women voted for President Eisen- Women's News Social Events 0 t'iir'jf) 1 L':., lLJ?llJ Augusta, Ga.

Women I know do think Stevenson has political sex appeal." Mrs. Neuberger said that she was being pressured by Oregon Democrats to return to Oregon and get cracking on her campaign, which he win ao on May 9. She was also being pres sured to leave the scribbling reporters and let herself be led away to face the television cameras. But before she left, she told of one small woe. "The airline won't let me take Muffct on the plane with me. I may wind up going back to Oregon by train." girls are children of Major (UPI Telephoto) Convention Set For Sorority This Week End A large group of delegates irom soutliern Oregon chapters will go to Eugene April 22-24 for the annual state conven tion of Epsilon Sigma Alpha sorority.

The event, directed by Mrs. Mildred Black, sixth grade teacher, has become a tradi tional part of the Hanby sixth grade's curriculum activities each year, correlating with so cial studies and language arts classes. Pan American day com memorates the anniversary of the day in 1890 on which American Republics united to form the association which has become the Organization of American States. This date is a symbol of the friendship that unites 300,000,000 Ameri cans, of many creeds, lang uages and cultures. In conjunction with educa tion, one of the major goals of the Organization of Ameri can States is to wipe out illit eracy and make an effort to have free, universal and com pulsory education throughout the Western Hemisphere. Headquarters of the Organiza tion of American States is Pan American Union in Washing ton, D. C. This organization which has 21 members including the United States is considered to be the oldest most successful international organization in the world. Other members are Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, the Dominican Reapub- lic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela. Prior to the program Thurs day evening, Mrs. Black and girls of the sixth grade class served a Latin American din ner to about 123 parents, spe cial guests and class members. The meal had been, prepared by several mothers of sixth graders for the occasion. Gen eral chairmen were Mrs. Geor gia Wilson and Mrs. Leonard McMahan. The entire program was based on the original written assignments submitted by all pupils, and their oral class room discussions during the past year as they studied Lat- American countries. Mr3. Black said routine tape re cordings were an important factor in determining material that was used in the play writ ten by the students for this year's Pan American project. The plot was about an American family of average income touring Mexico, Cen tral and South America. The American family represented Gold Hill's own Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Lamb, their son, Rus sell and daughter, Carolyn, who is a member of the sixth grade class. The selection was made by the class. The Ameri can family traveled through the different countries and was met along the way by na tive Mexican, Venezuela, and Argentina families and guides who showed them points of interest. Paint Murals An important aspect of the project were large murals painted by the youngsters to illustrate places visited by the American family. Scenes were of Mexico City, desert land in Mexico, Mayon findings, Lake Maracaibo oil fields, the Lla nos grassland and cattle in Venezuela, coffee plantation in Colombia, tobacco planta tion, Inca ruins, and Llama in Peru, Lake Titicaca La Paz, Bolivia, grape v 1 n y a r d in Chile, cattle in Argentina, sheep ranch in Uruguay, cot ton plantation in Paraguay Brasilia, the new capitol of Brazil, rubber plantation, riv er scene going up the Amazon a jungle scene and Angel Falls. Students spent a week painting the murals with tern pra paints. The performance featured chanting of the "Aztec La ment" accompanied by cere monial music, furnished by pupils playing the bongo, guitar, maracco, and Congo. The history of the Aztec ruins, written by a sixth grade boy last fall, had been selected by the class as the best for this occasion. Highlight of the evening was a Chilean dance of con quest presented by boys and girls of the sixth grade, ac companied by piano music, Mrs. Black taught Spanish once each week during the past year. The pupils speak, read, and write of their homes and families, birds, animals. In some instances she said It has been more difficult for a top student to learn Spanish, than for a slower student. Mrs. Black said two weeks of actual practice was rquirrd for the program rehearsals. Allen Hill, sixth grade teach er, assisted her by teaching regular classroom subjects to her class during this period to allow ample time for the OUR "coor It Your Oravyl , BE A K-BOY Blooper-Snooper youngsters to memorize their role. No prompting was ne sar,v during the perform ance Thursday evening. All pupils were given a part in the project, in various ways. Place cards and invitations for the affair were made by the art group. A typical Latin American background was 'arranged, with the use of an ox cart, made by two boys of the iixth grade. Unique coconuts and gourds made of paper macho by the students, and palm trees completed the theme. Some of the handicraft articles made during class time were used in the play. The students learned to weave various types of baskets, and mold vases, pitchers, bowls, and ash trays with their hands from a ceramo clay which they had mixed. After these were hardened in the teach ers kitchen oven, the pupils painted the pottery.
