2 D THURSDAY, MAY 10. 1962 MtOfOHO MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORB, OREGON A Good Companion Publication on Pre-School Child Closely Resembles Senator Careers 'Meg By DICK WEST Waihlnjton -UPl The Health, Education and Wel fare Department hu Just brought out a new edition of its popular p u blication "Your Child From One to Six." As I was glancing thro ugh the booklet, I was struck by a curious com' parison. I kept thinking how closely the first six years of a child parallels the first six year term of a U.S. senator. The pre-school child, says the booklet, "feels to a large extent that he is the center of the universe and that he controls a lot more things than he really does." Now I ask you, have you ever seen a more trenchant description of a senator? In fact, the entire develop ment of the two groups is amazingly similar, if you don't count such things as "potty training" and "thumb sucking.' Suggests Substitution Take, for instance, the sec tion on speech. I have copied some excerpts from It below. If you substitute the word "senator" in the appreciate places, you will see what I mean. "From the beginning he use his voice by pitch and intensity changes, by crying, chuckling, or fearfully shriek ing to tell you how he feels . , . "He seems to converse with characteristic pauses and in flections, although the indi vidual sounds are meaning less ... He is apt to overdo the power of words for a time . . . Slowly he gains the abil ity to express his desires in more detail . . . "Learning to use pronouns correctly comes somewhat la ter because ... he has a self centered view of the world. He still feels that he is the only 'me' that counts . . ." HAS NO SUCH PLAN San Diego, Callf.-UIPIl-Night bellman Norman Allen, SI, was surprised when police men joined him on the hotel roof and asked where the man was who was reported peering over the roof getting ready to jump. Allen explained that he was only peering over the roof to find a place for an antenna for a guest's tele vision set. His first three years, the booklet tells us, are charac terized by "his fierce desire to manage everything ... He is complicating life by want ing to run everything him self." During his fourth year, he still has an "imperfect sense of what, and who, causes what." He "scarcely can dis tinguish between what he has done, and what he has imag ined or wished he could." The fifth year is a sort of milestone in the development pattern, although "he's far from mature in many re spects." He may "press be yond his enduranee," "go overboard on rules'' and "tend to check on others in a bossy fashion." The booklet is tilled with advice to parents, much of which can be applied to vot ers who are bringing up a senator. You can take comfort from knowing that "some of the annoying baffling behavior" is just a stage and "won't nec essarily be happening next year." You also should bear in mind that some of it stems from his fear that you will "let someone else take his place." A. Robert Smith's Book Target' of Morse Denunciation . Washington - IUPH - S e n. Wayne Morse (D Ore.) has lashed out in the Senate at a book about him which he de clared was "character assas sination." Morse told the Senate that the book bf A. Robert Smith, a correspondent for several Oregon newspapers, was "full of un-truths, half-truths, out of-context distortions and oft repeated Republican misrepre sentations." The book, entitled "The Tig er in the Senate," is to be published late this month but advance copies have been cir culated among Morse's Senate colleagues. SOC Catalogs for New Year Published Ashland - Southern Oregon college regular catalogs for the academic year 1962 63 are now printed and ready for dis tribution, Hugh G. Simpson, director of information, has announced. According to Simpson, who edits the catalog, the current issue reflects the growth of the college in terms of in creased course offerings at lower division, upper division, and graduate levels. He pointed out that in the years since 1946 when Dr. INSURANCE FUNDS New York - (UPB - Life in surance companies have more policyholder funds invested in the East North Central re gion of the United States than in any other geographic area.

Hubert Humphrey (D- Minn.) rose with a smile after Morse's angry denunciation and said he could at least vouch for the accuracy of the title. "Like a tiger, Morse dis plays courage, tenacity, per severance and strength," he said. Sen. Kenneth B. Keating (R N Y.) also smiling, told Morse that he had not yet read the book, but that the title had given him the impression that it was campaign1 literature for Morse, not against him. Morse said Smith was the correspondent for "several anti-Morse newspapers," and that his book contained "mis statements and slanted jour nalism. "The fact that the book's publishers did not submit the manuscript to me in advance of publication so that I could have pointed out to them its misstatements and slanted journalism is indicative of the political purposes of the book," Morse said in a state ment. "I realize that I am fair game for my political enemies in the forthcoming campaign and this book is their first attack," he said. "There will be others." The book, being published by Doubleday & Co., is sched uled for appe.aance May 25. Smith, who has covered Washington for about 10 years, is a correspondent for the Portland Oregonian, Eu gene Register-Guard, Oregon Statesman, Pendleton East Oregonian and the Medford Mail Trbiune. Career Traced The book traces Morse's rise from an obscure law pro fessor in Oregon to the Sen ate, including his switch from the Republican ranks to the Democratic party, and his lone-wolf battles in the Sen ate. Smith, commenting on Morse's charge, said he would prefer to let the book stand on its own merits and to let readers decide as to its fair ness. He denied any political implications in the work. "My book is non - partisan but nof without criticism," he said. Smith said Doubleday'j editors had "refused Sen. Morse's request to censor the book" in advance of publica tion. "Sen. Morse knows that I have given him far mors credit for valuable service than any of his political enemies ever will," he de clared. "The readers will de cide who is being fair." and Wide Cut 18" Rotary HI - O .VUD A CYCLE mowers- 74 nr , CRAFTSMAN GUARANTEE Frt service and parts upon return If any part proves defective within 1 year of sale.
