ORE. 8 mean the 98-foot rocket has Titan Geared for Capability Test Cape Canaveral, Fla.-fflPD-The Air Force Titan inter continental missile, is being geared for a war-capability test in October. The Titan spanned an ocean Wednesday in a flight mark ing the first full success of the operational prototype, or "J" model, after two flops during the past month. Sources in Denver, Colo., said Titan will reach opera tional capability in a launch ing now set for Oct. 15 at Van denberg Air Force Base, Calif. The Vandenberg test will probably goiing through a necessary and important stage in her emotional develop ment. Quite simply, she wants to be a girl, not just a brain. Like all adolescents she is concerned with whether she can hold her own against others of her own sex. Shirley's problems may be a bit complicated because she has unusual abilities. These present her with a challenge of a diferent sort. Can she live up to what her parents and teachers expect of her? Still more, can she go on ex panding and strengthening her mental horizons without losing her femininity? These uncertainties would be enough to put a severe strain on a far more mature person. They are certainly enough to throw a 16-year-old somewhat off balance for a time. We think Shirley needs a little more sympathy and en couragement in doing the things she wants to do. If she wants to wear makeup, her mother should help her use it properly. Eye makeup, for example, has been so heavily advertised that it is hard for a young girl to be unresponsive to the pressure. Mrs. L. T. should show an in terest in some of the tech niques for applying this makeup so she can help her daughter use it more dis creetly.

Named by Gov. Mark Hatfield (above, center) to serve on the committee were former Govs. Charles Sprague and Robert D. Holmes, flanking Hatfield at table. Reading counter-clock-wise from upper left are Capitol Memo Reorganization Proposals Close To Governor's Heart chosen by these lay bodies without any obligation to even confer with the governor. He, therefore, in many in stances, is a captive of the per sonnel over, which he has no selective responsibilities. The Legislature - a n d I served three sessions in that branch of government - has virtually no conception of the unwieldy structure this pre sents for - one whose job is 'to make democracy work But pressures opposing change are great. Each profession, each constituency, refuses to yield authority. And new ses sions bring proposals for new agencies. Oregon must face up to the need of streamlining her or ganization or face a future in which we shall be mired in mediocrity. other committee members, Senate President Walter Pear son, Rep. W. O.

Today the (covernor of Oregon gives his views on govern ment reorganization. By MARK O. HATFIELD Written for UPI Salem -IUPII- There Is no ac tivity of government closer to my heart than that of reorga nization proposals. In our state there are ap proximately 170 boards, com missions and institutions for which the governor is held re sponsible by the voters of Ore gon. Unfortunately, in many Instances, the governor's schedule or authority do not permit proper supervision of the various state agencies We approach the task of re- organlzation with two thoughts in mind. First, we want to create an organization which the gover nor can administer through as much personal participation as possible. Second and most lnv portant, we want an execu- tive branch which will be more responsive and respon sible to the people. With the realization that these two goals are difficult to accomplish and that it will take a good deal of under standing to achieve them. I asked a bi-partisan group of 17 leading Oregon citizens -headed by former Govs. Charles A. Sprague and Rob ert D. Holmes - to study re organization proposals. This group has applied Itself to the task with great diligence and objectivity. They will be mak ing their final report in Sep tember, i Phone Lines Hum Thirty years ago, a gover nor of Oregon dropped in his office two or three times a week, and had time for lei surely conversations with any visitors who came to see him. Today, six telephone lines hum with calls, mail comes at a sackful, and boards and commissions have grown in number at nearly every legis lative session. Through Oregon's emphasis on "laymanship" whereby more than 1,000 citizens sit in on policy-making committees there has grown up a "weak" executive system.

L, T. - She wants to overdo everything. a a Shirley T. - I am a high school girl of 16 and I'm hav ing a lot of trouble with my parents because they want me to be different from everyone else. My mother doesn't let me dress the way the other girls do and my father supervises my mental outlook. Im not allowed to look at most of the TV programs everyone else enjoys, only the "educa tional ones. If I want to read popular novel he calls It trash and gives me some clas sic I can't get interested in My parents are also strict about hours, dating, etc. They want to know everything that goes on everyplace I go. I'm becoming a regular freak among my friends. Mrs. L. T. - We feel we al low Shirley more liberty than she ought to have, consider ing she is the type of girl who wants to overdo everything. I allowed her to wear little powder and lipstick at 13, but soon she was begging to wear eye makeup. Now she puts it on as though she going out to a ball every time she goes around the cor ner. She is capable of sitting in the house all day and watching junky TV programs or mooning over love stories. The shame of it all is that, Shirley is a very, bright girl. Her teachers say she is top college material, but she has lost interest in schoolwork and only cares about being one of the girls."
