Cape Canaveral, Fla.-fflPD-The

continental missile, is being

The Titan spanned an ocean

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.

COMMITTEE COMPLETING STUDY The Governor's
bi-partisan reorganization committee is completing its
three month study and making its recommendations lor
streamlining and updating state structure toward economy

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.

Correspondent Douglas Orlpp Is on
vacation. 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

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. Many de
partment heads (welfare, high
way, civil service, etc.) are

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."
