Min-779-1331-Open Friday Night Senators' Wives Find Transition Trying A Bv MARGUERITE DAVIS Washington - 0IPD - Speak ing was Marvella Bayh (pro nounced By), pretty blonde wife of Indiana's freshman Democratic senator. "In Terre Haute," she said, "two cock tail dresses would see me through a season, but here I need them once or twice a week." Mrs. Thomas J. Mclntyre, wife of the first Democratic senator elected from New Hampshire since 1932, mused about her 15-year-old daugh ter, Martha. "The age of 15," Mrs. Mc lntyre said, "is the most dif ficult age in the world, and to be uprooted at that age makes things even more dif ficult. It's been quite a tran sition for her." Cocktail dresses, the prob lems of finding a home and getting settled; parties with diplomats rather than with the folks back home; worries about daughters and sons; what to wear to the White House tonight. Face Problems Any housewife faces prob lems when suddenly uprooted from the ties of the past be cause her husband's job de mands that they move else where. But the complications become a hundred-fold when they go not only into a new city but into a new world. Most of the wives of the 12 new United States senators are finding just how true that is. For some there really was no major proniem Dccause their husbands had been here before, cither in the House or in the government. This group includes the wives of Sen. Abraham A. Ribicoff (D Conn.), Sen. Daniel K. Inouye (D-Hawaii), Sen. Daniel B. Brewster (D-Md), Sen. George McGovcrn (D-S.D.), and Sen. Peter Dominick (D-Colo.) It was not true for such as Marvella Bayh, wife of Sen. Birch Bayh (D-Ind.), or Carrie Lee Nelson, attractive and outspoken wife of Wisconsin's Democratic Sen. Gaylord Nel son. I'm just spinning my wheels," said Mrs. Bayh. "1 haven't been able to stuy home a full day for the last three weeks. But 1 love it." Slow Deliveries They have taken a home in suburban McLean, Va., but have found themselves face- lo-facc with a problem be cause of slow deliveries and the annual department store inventories. "The stores have been nut of everything from doorknobs to carpels, and they don't want to order anything until nter inventory," she said. "Some places have said it will take six weeks to deliver what we ordered." Their three-bedroom home here is larger than the one they left at Terre Haute, and i the old furniture is not fill- ' ing all the gaps. 1 'We have a big recreation room in the basement, but we can't afford to furnish it yet there's a ping-pong table down there, and that's all." Kor Mrs. Nelson, life in the nation's capital has been, she readily admits, a world apart from her former day-to-day routine as the wife of the Governor of Wisconsin. Wisconsin is a small state, and we're a very informal family," she said. Her social obligations as the Governor's wife can't be compared to those imposed on the spouse of a senator. Appnilod Madison is also a small town, with all the convenieccs of living that go with it. When Mrs. Nelson arrived here she was appalled at the cost of a home in the District of Co lumbia. They found one in the city, suitable for them and their three children. "But it was 554.000, and it needed at least another $1,000 work on it," she said. . "That isn't very much to people here, where the rich are so very rich and the poor so poor, but our budget doesn't accommodate to prices like that. We can't 'keep up with the Joneses' and we don't try." Another with this same background is Mrs. Edwin I.. i Mecheiu, wife of the new He- publican Senator from New Mexico. Like Mrs. Nelson, she is making the transition from first lady of a state to I the wife of a senator near the bottom of the seniority list. J Among other things she had I to move out of the Governor's I mansion in Santa Fe Into a I two-bedroom apartment on I Capitol Hill. 1 Reversed , In Washington, she said, the entertainment situation is just reversed. "In New Mexico as ! the governor's wife, we did I the entertaining. Here we are being entertained " j Also accustomed to life !n i the spotlight Is Mrs. Milward L. Simpson, the former first lady of Wyoming j "Washington has gone out j of its way to extend the hand ; of hospitality," she said. "I ' have found the r Ity a warm and friendly an when I visited t here during my school days She added: "Both my hus band and I have found our days as long and packed with as much activity as when he was governor of Wyoming. The alarm usually goes off at 6 a.m. and I don't see him until after dark." One person who says she has found the transition slightly difficult is Mrs. Tho mas J. Mclntyre, an attractive blonde. She and her Demo cratic senator husband have made the switch from tiny Laconia, N.H., without too much trouble. But thei . daughter is homesick. Disliked Leaving Martha, 15, a high school sophomore, disliked the idea of leaving all her old school friends in New Hampshire. Her mother said that nearly all other freshman senators have small children or older children, and so there is little opportunity for Martha to make acquaintances with Sen ators' children of her age group. But Mrs. Mclntyre is philo sophical. "Once over this age," she said, "Martha will get to like Washington, which has so many advantages such as cultural atmosphere that a small town in New Hampshire can't offer." One wife with small chil dren already has become the most famous of the new ar rivals. In a town where names are news, she has the best known of all. Joan Kennedy is only 2ti years old, and the youngest wife of h senator, just as her husband, Edward M. Ken- Girl Scouts Illinois Valley During a recent meeting in the home of Mrs. Joe Smith, Kcrby, leader for Girl Scout Troop 142, it was decided to set June 10 through 14 as day camp week for all Brownies and Girl Scouts of the Illinois Valley. Theme for this year will be on Indians. Anyone interested may con tact Mrs. Smith and they will be notified as to where train ing sessions will be held for adult volunteers and regular troop leaders who plan to he at camp. Mrs. James Baldwin is director, to be assisted by Mrs. Smith. Mrs. Nancy Doc ker will be business manager and registrar. nedy, is the youngest of all the senators. In Georgetown The home for herself, her husband and their two small children, Kara, 3, and Ed ward Jr., 15 months, is in historic Georgetown. She took Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy's advice to move there instead of out in the suburbs. "You'll see more of your husband that way," the first lady told her. One wife who hasn't found a new place to live is Mrs. Howard Erimondson, whose ' husband is the new Oklahoma senator. Only last January 1, when Sen. Robert F. Kerr ' died and her husband was I named to succeed him, did Mrs. Edmondson find that she was moving to Washington. Her hope is to find a house they can rent for six months. Her husband's term expires next year, and he must seek re-election. . One wife who has had no problems is Mrs. Ribicoff, whose husband was President Kennedy's first secretary of health, education and welfare. "There really isn't much difficulty in transition for me," she said. "I've gone through so many of these from being the wife of a gov ernor, then a cabinet officer and now a senator." Chili Beef, Cheese Buns Will Make Hit Chili beef and cheese buns will make a big hit with the teen-age crowd. Combine one pound of ground lean beef with one teaspoon of salt and one-eighth teaspoon of ground black pepper. Shape into eight thin patties of uniform size. Place a round of thinly sliced American cheese on each of four patties. Cover with remaining patties, press ing edges together to seal in cheese. Brown patties on each side in about two tablespoons of hot shortening or oil. Remove meat to warm spot and add to pan one cup of water, one half cup of catsup, two table spoons of instant minced on ion, one and one-half table spoons of green pepper flakes, one tablespoon of chili pow der, and one teaspoon of salt or more to taste. Bring to boil. Add meat, lower heat and sim mer 10 minutes, or until sauce thickens. Serve in warmed split buns. Freeze-Dried Foods Tested On Mt. Everest Tasty "fresh" chicken and shrimp curry dinners, exposed to everything from jungle heat to ocean storms since last I tall, are among delicious I menus to be eaten by US sci- entists as late as May or June this year - without benefit of refrigerators. It is an experi ment the experts say will mean elimination of many food storage and menu prob lems for American house wives. The intriguing test with freezc-dried and "instant" foods in special paperboard containers is in progress now half way around the world. Scientist climbers of the 1963 American Mt. Everest expedi tion will eat like kings in the steaming jungles of Negal and high on the icy slopes of Mt. Everest, the world's tallest peak, according to the expedi tion's packaging consultant. He is Robert O. Lee, an official of Portland headquar tered Georgia-Pacific corpora tion, which designed the 1963 expedition's special contain ers. The feather-light paper boxes are protecting 13 tons of supplies on the 12.000-mile ocean, jungle and mountain trek to the top of the world. Mr. Lee led the 1961 Ameri can attempt on Talung, near Mt. Everest in northern Ne pal. Field tests on Mt. Rainier by expedition members and Georgia-Pacific observers al ready indicate many weight and food storage problems have been solved and will simplify the future shopping needs of American house wives, Lee says. The 196.1 expedition, first U. S. - led group to attempt the five-mile high Everest peak, has wit it such new delicacies as fresh lasting and fresh appearing (when recon stituted) freeze-dried chicken, spinach, hamburger, corn, pork chops, bananas, peaches and even shrimp among its range all the way from syrup record - breaking 15,000 pre- to milk. Many items are sched- packaged "box lunches." uied for supermarket shelves Powdered dehydrated foods in the not too distant future.
