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.
