o WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 7, 1960 18 Walter Norblad Turns Case of Pvt. Owens Into Stack of Favorable Press Clippings , By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correipondant Washington - A member of the family of Rep. Walter Norblad (R-Ore.) was greeted the other day by an a c q u a i ntance who declared: "That was great what Walter d i d, just great.' The deed which this constituent so a RnbL smnft admired was Norblad's request to the Army to release Private Marvin , Owens from military duty at Fort Ord, Calif., so that he could return to Oregon and try to defeat Norblad in the fall election. Seldom is the public treat ed to what apparently is a gentlemanly act, a be-kind-to-your- enemy performance which comes as close as any thing in politics to the Chris tian commandment that one should love his enemies. If Private Owens is pleased to have been ordered home by his superiors so quickly on the heels of his telegraphic complaint to Rep. E d i th Green, Congressman Norblad is no less pleased with the public attention this episode . received. Not only was the story told far and wide in the First con gressional district of Oregon where Norblad and Owens will square off this fall, but It was carried in the big east ern newspapers as well. While the Oregon Republican law maker has taken a good no- tured ribbing from his con gressional cronies, he has rev eled in the abundant publicity garnered from this simple act. But One in Group To understand the value at tached to this result one must appreciate the submersion most congressmen fear in Washington, D. C, where each is but one of 435 U. S. rep resentatives - and none gets quite the attention accorded to U. S. senators, cabinet members and the presidential family. How to gain recognition in Penhyrn Island Blue Baby To Have Chance at Full Life Seattle '-IUP1I- Cecilia Mac- Cauley is 4 years old today, and she celebrated her birth day by checking into the Chil dren's - Orthopedic Hospital here. During her few years, a lot has happened to Cecilia, one of 24 children of a Maori family on Penhyrn Island which belongs to New Zea land. Cecilia is a blue baby, born with a heart defect which will cut her life short unless surgery can correct the con dition. Adopted Daughter That's why Cecilia, now the adopted daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James MacCoulcy, is going to the hospital, Mac Cauley is the resident agent of Panhyrn Island. Earlier this year the Mac Cauleys met the Max Wyman family of Seattle while they were cruising in the Pacific aboard the 136 -foot yacht, Wild Goose II. The Wymans decided they would help the MacCauleys in their desire to give Cecilia a full and normal life. But getting Cecilia here wasn't easy. Soon after Mrs. MacCauley and Cecilia board ed the Wild Goose II for the first leg of the trip to Hawaii, the vessel sprung a leak. It took Coast Guard assistance to keep the vessel afloat. When the yacht reached Honolulu, Mrs. MacCauley and her daughter made the rest of the trip by air along with the Wyman family. To Schedule Surgery Doctors began a thorough examination of Cecilia today. They will schedule surgery when all the necessary facts are known. Cecilia has a lot of folks rooting for her. She makes friends wherever she goes. Her first big conquest was the MacCauleys when she was a year old. "We saw that pathetic smile," explained Mrs. Mac Cauley, "and it won us over completely. I know you can't cure everybody In the world, as much as you'd like to, but this young lady just appealed to us." Washington in this highly competitive political field is ever so much more consider able a task for a congressman than to perform his duties faithfully, even to getting leg islation enacted. For attention does not automatically be come focused on meritorious work. Consequently attention- getting devices become the stock-in-trade of every smart politico in this big town. No one in the Oregon con grcssional delegation has been more assiduous over the years in seeking ways of keeping his name before the voters back, home than Walter Nor blad. Because he never makes a speech in Congress or writes magazine articles, Norblad has been less successful than some other Oregon lawmakers of recent years. But he tries. Case on Silver Platter However, in this case, Nor- Auto Club Suggests What Wines to Order New York-"What wine to order when" is suggested in the following series of tips for European tourists from Automobile Club of America experts: 1. Always proper and us ually the least expensive is "vin ordinaire." 2. The wine steward is al ways ready and willing to of fer suggestions. 3. Instead of cocktails be fore lunch or dinner, try dry sherry or Madeira, served chilled. 4. With fish, fowl and cold meats, order dry white wines. 5. Red wines, of course, with beef, lamb or veal. blad must thank the gentle woman from Oregon, Mrs. Green, who handed him the Owens case on a silver plat ter. Norblad was at first per plexed when she sulgested he help get Owens out of the Army so he could return to Oregon to launch his cam paign against Norblad. But upon the advice of everyone in sight at the Capitol, he knew he could do nothing else - and the result has been the biggest package of press clippings Norblad has picked up all year. One mi.t be tempted to think that Democrat Green thought she might embarrass Republican Norblad by put ting him on the spot, and that Norblad turned the ta bles on her and came out smelling like an Oregon rose. But the fact is these two Oregon solons have a very cooperative relationship in which virtually no partisan ship prevails. Norblad, in fact, has no trouble getting along with all the other members of the Oregon delegation, all Demo- Preserving Problem Solved By Doctors San Francisco -(Science Service)-The problem of pre serving whole blood for use when needed was consider ably eased recently with the announcement that a recently developed preservative can keep enough red blood cells alive to permit safe and effec tive blood transfusions with blood 30 days old. Dr. John fi. Gibson II. asso ciate in medicine at Peter Mailmen Get Warning To Follow Instructions Atlanta, Ga. - Mailmen had a special warning from postal authorities to follow their own instructions to the public. The warning was issued after someone complained that he saw mailmen collect ing mail from two separate boxes, one marked "Out of Town" and the other "Local." The mailman just dumped them all together in his sack and trudged off. Bent Brigham hospital, Har vard Medical school, said clini cal tests showed the prepara tion can be safely stored in routine hospital blood bank practice up to 30 days after collection. The preservative, Citrate - Phosphate - Dextrose, was developed at Harvard Medical school in 1956. Dr. Gibson said the School's laboratories have now used the preservative to store blood from 27 to 32 days with an average red blood cell sur vival of 75 per cent. The ac cepted, safe minimum survival of red blood cells for trans fusion is 70 per cent. Earlier this year Peter Bent Brigham hospital used CPD-preserved blood in open heart surgery. No harmful re actions were recorded. Dr. Gibson said the red blood cells' ability to remain in circulation and function normally after transfusion has been confirmed by tagging the cells with- radioactive chromium. crats. For Norblad never tan gles with the Democrats on public issues or blasts their proposals. Norblad is no Sam Coon, taking on Dick Neu bergcr in a public debate on the power question; nor is he a Harris Ellsworth working hand-in-glove with the GOP leaders e)o put across the par ty program and protect its lines of argument. Not a Guy Cordon Neither is Norblad a Guy Cordon, introducing and push ing through controversial leg islation desired by the Repub lican administration. In a word, he gives the Democrats no trouble and receives none in return. This is part of the Norblad success formula, which Coon, Ellsworth and Cordon lacked in going down to defeat. And this is part of Norblad's charm as -far as the Democrats are concerned, which is underscored by the realization that Norblad is probably the only high-ranking Oregon Republican who had never been publicly roast- Poce Catch Thieves Stealing Burglar's Loot Glendale, Calif.-It's getting so a hard-working burglar can't even leave his loot un guarded. Policemen passing a Glen dale music store in the early morning captured a burglar. While they were talking to the prisoner, two other men stopped by-and started help ing themselves to radios, hi-fi equipment and musical instruments the burglar had placed in his car. They too were arrested. ed by Sen. Wayne Morse. So it was appropriate mat when Edith Green tossed what looked like a curve ball at Norblad, it was right where Walter could swat it for an heroic home run that may be all he will need to win his own ball game in the Ore gon elections this fall.
