She eats them, yes, and then behind my back smuggles a whole jar of peanut butter or a quart of ice cream up to her room. I watch my figure and count calories.

I enjoy life. Yet my family isn't satisfied. They think my overweight is a dis grace. If they're ashamed to be seen with me, I'm not forcing them to accompany me any where. My girl friends don't object to my appearance. In fact, one of them is even heav ier than I am. We just don't discuss such matters. It s a personal thing.

I'm not out to be Miss America or one of those fash ion models who starve until they look like skeletons with skins. So why can't I be my self fat, happy Norma? The Councili Oh, Norma, haven't you heard? Walking around fat, these days, is blaz oning to the world that you have problems. You're not happy, you're not gay, you're not jolly. You're just kidding yourself and trying to kid others. That, my dear, is the majority view in this age of anxiety. Of course, everyone has problems and everyone hand les them differently. Some gel dead drunk so they see pink elephants instead of troubles. Some get doped up so that they. can sleep away burden some days. Many find serenity through cigarettes, tranquil A tu trv hvnnosis. . . . or a trip around the world. And you, Norma, sedate your self with food. Aa with most of these re courses, the problems persist. The palliatives oner icmpui ary respite and escape, but alwavs the old worries are there in the wings waiting to be dealt with squarely. So, f,r satins all the peanut butter and mocha parfaits, Norma, you'll still nave 10 In crins with what's ..linn vnn Is it aneer toward your parents?

By your present course you're merely adding one more problem to your list, that of unattractiveness. No excess is good, Norma, whether it's the meal-skipping that gives models their gaunt photogenic frames or the stuffing that fills (temporari ly, at least) the empty spots inside you which keep aching. You'll never fill them with food. They require emotional satisfactions love, approval, admiration, success.

Al Ullman might be forgiven if he points with pride to the accomplishments of the 87th ..I- St Congress, for the legislation was written in the Ways and Means com mittee on which he serves. Trade ex pansion, tax revision, in creased unemployment com pensation, increased social se curity benefits, extension of aid to dependent children are among those bills passed by his committee in Congress. Ullman said that he was the area representative of nine western stales on the Trade Bill, and went to bat for amendments protecting agri culture. He said that he was successful in getting an amend ment protecting cherry grow ers from the importation of Glazed cherries. "I also put in an amendment calling for mandatory public hearings wherever foreign re strictions outside the pale of GATT agreements are inhibit ing the flow of our products," he said. "We have much more lo gain In the field of agriculture than wp have to lose, and this bill will help wheat," he main tained. Ullman said that although he wasn't completely happy with the Tax Revision Bill, it was "a great step forward" especially in closing lax loop holes and foreign tax havens. Pension Fundi Pleases He was pleased that the bill to allow self-employed per sons to set up pension funds was approved. "We have been trying to get it through for years; it will allow individuals and non-incorporated businesses to do what cot pot ations are al ready doing." Ullman was also buoyant about the prospects for Ore gon wheat growers under the new Farm Hill. "It is one of the mos im portant pieces of (arming leg islation in the past decade or longer." he maintained, "be cause it establishes a long term wheat program starting in 1964 that Oregon wheat growers have hern fighting lor for 30 years - tltat is, the certificate plan for wheat." "The farm hill didn't solve all agriculture's problems, but from its impact on the second district, it is of major impor tance and a major break through. It will allow us to get away from stop-gap and into a long-range program where farmers can look ahead to long-range stability. "Our wheat farmers can go back to raising wheat instead of barley, and especially econ omy wheat which is of utmost importance lo our area. Under the certificate plan starting in 1964, the price on the mar ket goes down, and yet the certificates for the domestic share will give farmers the income they need, but lower prices will enable them to produce feed wheat. "The certificate plan is the heart and soul of the bill, and yet it provides more freedom in the market place and more freedom for the farmer than any other program that we have passed." Scoffs at Criticism Ullman scoffed al criticism that farmers were under "loo many controls." 1 There is no farmer who can point to any more con trols in this bill than we have U.S. Defies Soviet Berlin Convoy Rule Berlin - IBM) - The U. S. Army has defied the Soviets by sending a military convoy to West Berlin without the ad vance notification demanded by the Russians. The convoy was cleared without incident. The action was seen here as a U.S. test of what officials viewed as a Russian attempt to limit Western military ac cess rights to the divided city, 1 10 miles behind the Iron Cur tain. Friday, Russian border guards held up a West-bound military convoy for 80 min utes because they had not been notified in advance of its movement. The Western powers main tain that no such prior notice is necessary, that convoys have the right to move across F.ast Germany to and from Berlin at any time and with out any Russian restrictions. Meanwhile in Moscow, Pre mier Nikia S. Khrushchev Saturday summoned polish Communist Chief Wladyslaw Gomulka to the Kremlin for briefings that could determine the fate of post-Cuba Berlin, lie was the fifth F.ast Euro pean leader called in for such talks. Gomulka arrived in the So viet capital just as Bulgarian Farty Chief Todor Zhikov left after consultations with Khrushchev. Tass said Zhi kov met the Khrushchev and party ideologist Mikhail Sus lov this morning. today, and starting with 1964 they will have less control, he said. "Certainly, all of us would like to turn the clock back to Jefferson's time, but you have to face the cold facts that our society has a greater capacity for overproduction; and, turned loose, it would destroy every little farmer and turn farming over to cor poration farming. Controls are to give protection to the fam ily farmer and to try to bring into balance the requirements of the country." Ullman also liked the Pub lic Works Bill because, as it allows the President to allo cate money to states for im mediate construction of public works, it could be put to work to help counties in Oregon which he said had high un employment rates. He shied away from naming the coun ties in his district because he said the inhabitants had touchy pride about being call ed "depressed." Ullman called the defeat of the federal aid to higher edu cation bill a "conspiracy be tween Republicans and south ern Democrats." "Under whatever pretense, the opposition to aid to higher education was completely in defensible," he said. "Those people who voted on a phoney recommitment are 100 per cent responsible for defeating this much-needed assistance to higher education program." Other Accomplishments Ullman listed as other ac complishments of the 87th Congress: the passage of a wa ter pollution bill "of great importance to Oregon and the nation"; area redevelopment to aid depressed areas; and the standby public works pro gram, all of which he said were vetoed by President Dwight Eisenhower, but which he said was passed "with little fanfare" in the press by Dem ocrats. Ullman was proud that the Peace Corps idea had devel oped under a Democratic ad ministration and said it was a wonderful program for sell ing America. "Even the Re publicans are now coming around to admitting its suc cess." he said. He said that in the cold war opposition to Communism "we are now on the offensive rath er than the defensive." "We have vastly accelerat ed our space program, spend ing five times more on space than two years ago; and it is more efficiently directed and organized. "And we have 25 per cent more fully organized and trained combat ready divi sions, and are in a much stronger military position."
