2 B TilUHSDAY, FEBRUARY 28. 1963 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON Duncan Off To Brave Start As Congressional Debater By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Wifhinglon Correspondent Washington (Special) - Rep. Robert B. Duncan is off to a brave start as a congressional debater. When a group of N o r t h w est c o ngrcssmen echoed the ec onomic com plaints of the lumber indus try in a round of House speeches the other day, most of them called fur an import quota on Cana dian lumber. But not Duncan. "I happen to believe that prosperity lies in expanded and greater trade and freedom of trade rather than in res trictions," declared the fresh- man Democrat from Medford. "I believe there is greater op portunity here for the lumber industry to move concurrent ly with the government to meet competition with compe tition as the lumber industry has always done, is doing and will continue to do." As it turned out, Duncan was the only one of the dozen or so congressmen of both parties who clearly spoke up against shutting out Cana dian imports. He did agree with Rep. Compton White, Jr., D-Ida., that if the Cana dian government is in fact sub sidizing its lumber industry to give it advantages over Amer ican lumber, the U.S. should take action to offset such ad vantages under the tariff act. A number of resolutions are already in the hopper call ing on President Kennedy to impose a quota limiting &? -fr J bsktm ' bug" developed by Martin Co., of Baltimore, Md., simulates the critical rendezvous and docking portions of a manned mission to the moon.

This is even more restrictive than the lumber lobby urged last year when a 10 per cent quota was their goal. The Commerce Department reports imports from Canada rose from 2,748,000 bd. ft. in 1054 to 3,041,000 in 1961, or 13.7 per cent of the American market. Since 1961 imports reportedly have risen to some 17 per cent. So the practical impact of a 6 per cent quota would be to abolish nearly two-thirds of the lumber trade Canada currently enjoys in the United States. The mob psychology on Capitol Hill in behalf of such a quota is a political reflex action in response to the re cent Tariff Commission de cision in the lumber case. The Commission ruled that the rise in lumper imports was not attributable to America's long-standing low-tariff rela tions with neighboring Can ada. The basic reason for Can ada's success in selling its lumber cheaper than North west producers In Atlantic Coast markets are that water shipping rates from British Columbia were sharply re duced in 1957; the devaluation of Canadian currency last spring in effect resulted in a $7 per thousand bd. ft. lum ber price cut; and timber prices are lower in B.C. be cause the supply is more abun dant in relation to demand. In recent months the Forest Service has liberalized its cutting allowances in many Northwest forests, in addition to accelerating sales of timber blown down in the Columbus Day windstorms, in an effort to give the industry more tim ber at cheaper prices to aid their competitive position. Congress alone can reduce the cost of water transporta tion by repealing or further modifying the Jones act ban on use of cheap foreign ships, but many lawmakers are fear ful of the bruising fight this would cause with hostile ship ping and maritime labor inter ests. No one has figured out how to cope with the 92 'ic Canadian dollar. So the easy way out for a congressman is to demand that the president impose an import quota. Nationally, this is an un appealing suggestion because the U.S. sells more than it buys in Canada, so any quota on lumber would in turn hurt Canadian purchases of other American goods. Moreover, restrictive tariff barriers on such a basic item as lumber would mock the foreign policy of the United States in working for greater economic unity within the western alliance to bolster the free world against the Red bloc. The lumber Industry is planning trade missions abroad this year In an attempt to expand its overseas mar kets. With a burgeoning world population, much of it ill housed, some far-sighted lumbermen believe the best long-range solution is to de velop new markets for North west lumber aid not to fight with a friendly neighbor over the limited existing markets. Congress, as Rep. Duncan indicated in his debut as a congressional debater, would be wiser and more helpful in eliminating obstacles to com petitive, expanding world trade than to pursue the un realistic objective of slam ming the door in the face of the Canadians. Mother, Baby Care Class Scheduled The Jackson county chap ter of the Red Cross will offer a new mother and baby care class at the Rogue Valley hospital beginning Tuesday, March 5, from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. The class will be conduct ed twice a week, each Tues day and Friday, for three weeks.

Vandagrift REAL ESTATE APPRAISER, CONSULTANT & NEGOTIATOR ANNOUNCES HIS NEW LOCATION 1 King Street Phone 779-1666 Medford, Oregon united Press International Rome - (UPD - She has every-thing-except a husband. One of the world's most beautiful women ... an Oscar on her mantlepiece . . . con tracts for at least two years of films ... the starring part in a Broadway play under dis-pussion. This is Sophia Loren, the Italian actress, who once was a skinny little girl named So fia bcicoione, living in the Slums oi Naples. j. She lives with a man she loves ana who loves her. It could be called one of the Sappiest marriaEes in the world of films, except he is not ner nusband-at least not In the eyes of the Italian law. ' She has been married and then had the marriage an nulled in an effort to untan gle the almost unbelievably complicated legal situation re volving around her and Pro Sophia, relaxing In a chair in her antique-furnished Ro man apartment, has a simple answer to the situation: "I feel married. Fls Married 'No matter what the law says, we are married because being married isn't a matter of standing up before a Judge or a priest and havine him say woras. It s a feeling-and I feel married." My husband, my ex-hus band . . . my fiance ... or whatever one should call him -and I don't discuss the prob lem. It simply upsets us and there is nothing to do about it anyway. "It is a difficult and com plicated matter and I really don't have any hope of a so lution. It will just go on and on and on and I don't have any hope of there ever being a solution." Sophia, now 28, married Ponti by proxy in Mexico in 1957. But Ponti, nearly twice bophia s age and several Inches shorter than her statu esque five feet, eight, had been married before-to an Italian general's daughter nameci Giuliana Fiastri. Be fore marrying Sophia Loren he obtained a Mexican di vorce. Divorce Not Legal But in Italy, no divorce Is legal. Charges of bigamy were filed in the Italian courts against Ponti-not by his for mer wife, however. In Italy, any citizen may file such charges, even without having his name made public. If convicted, Pontl faces a five-year jail sentence and So phia an equal prison term as being a party to bigamy. After Innumerable court hearings almost any court action in Italy goes on for years the couple decided to get the marriage - annulled strictly as a legal maneuver Their relationship remained the same. The Mexican annulment was handed down last year Hearing Set The problem now is that the Italian prosecution claims the annulment is not valid The next hearing on the case comes up March 21. "We have no plans to at tend the hearing," Sophia said. "I'll be out of Italy mak ing a film in Spain ("The Fall of the Roman Empire") and neither Carlo nor I will be here." Talking with Sophia about her "marriage" is difficult. Normally happy and with a ready laugh, she turns serious whenever the subject comes up.

Another touchy point is her acting godmother to the first baby of her sister, Maria, who married jazz pianist Ro mano Mussolini - son of late Italian dictator Benito Mus solini. Called Sinner Several days after the bap tismal ceremonies on Jan. 15 a Catholic theologian from Milan, Msgr. Giovanni Battis ta Guzzetti, said that Sophia should never have been per mitted to act as godmother because she is a "public sin ner." "The newspapers made a big fuss about my not actual ly being the godmother," she said, "but that's not true. I've been a godmother before. In France, and nobody said any thing about it. "If I had known it would cause all this trouble I prob acy woulrin t have done it But my sister wanted me to be her baby's godmother-and I wanted to, too." Sophia said she has enough film contracts to take up her next two years and then she may do a play on Broadway. Of her career, she said "Certainly, winning the Oscar nor -two Women ) was a high point. But looking back over the years, I don't regret anyuiing." "I learned something from everything - and particularly irom me bad things. "About the future, I don't Know, I like surprises." The Family Council k?".f'!

Sara M. - My aunt Is cre ating a furor over something that's trivial and harmless. She was divorced from her husband ten years ago. But I grew very fond of him and his whole family when I was a little girl. Now, even though I'm married myself and have moved to the wilds of Ver mont, I correspond with some of them. Aunt Lottie has bawled me out about this. I've cut it down somewhat, limiting my self to birthday and holiday cards. But now she wants me to quit sending them Christ mas greetings! That's going too tar. I consider them my friends, no matter what they are to her. Lottie I. - I think Sara is prolonging her contact with my ex-in-laws for spite. She's the only one in my family who refuses to break off, so that they can no longer be in touch with my affairs and I can forget completely about them. Why else would Sara be sending such a steady pro cession of cards for every oc casion, no matter how minor? 1 11 bet she's mailing them one for St. Patrick's Day even, and they're French! Blood is thicker than water and I'm her own mother's sister. "Ihose people are noth ing to her. Surely there are dozens of others she can hold on to, if she's short of friends. For my sake she should drop them. The Council: Oh, Aunt Lot tie, blood may be thicker than water, but how about ink? lhat old expression originat ed as a warning that friends are like water. They can van ish without a trace. But a kinsman, like blood, leaves a mark behind. And - just to throw out a new line of thought - so dop- ink! Sara raises an interesting question of loyalty. Can she consider herself on a person-to-person hook-Up With Aunt Lottie's former relatives, and keep right on talking even though Aunt Lottie is out of the picture? Or is her friend ship part of a package deal, so that when Auntie bows out, Sara must do the same? Although communication must be handled with finesse, delicacy and tact, we go ilong with Sara in her general atti tude. It's quite possible frr two people to face each other In several roles. Sometimes a niece is a student in her aunt's class. So she addresses her as teacher. In a family setting, snes Aunt. And if they're mis ana Kinnred souls, she s girl friend." Thus, while Lot tie s old entourage have lost that bond with Sara, they're still nice folks so far as the latter is concerned. And that's how she wants to treat them. Aunt Lottie shouldn't ob ject to the continuation of contact here, so long as Sara avoids anything that can be construed as "betrayal." That is, Sara should rot take sides, pass judgment, even comment on the past relationship which originally joined the two families. The present frlpnH. ship is "on its own," nourish ed by a direct appreciation by Sara of the people she happened to meet because she was Aunt Lottie's nleca. This is a common problem. We all know people we'd like to like, but somebody else's feelings are in the way. That can slow us down, make us perspicacious. But our friend ly feelings wriggle through! Rep. Hand Warns Of Bill's Feature Salem - (UPD - The Stale Land Board could meet in private offices of an oil lob byist to make public decisions under a bill passed by the House Wednesday, Rep. Beu lah Hand said today. The bill went to the Sen ate. The Milwaukie Democrat said the bill removes all pub 1 i c meeting requirements presently spelled out in the law for the board. The board the governor, secretary of atate and treas urer , supervises the tnnn. agement of state lands. Pro ponents said the change in the law would legalize board meetings which now fail to correspond with times cited in the law. Mrs. Hand said under the bill "no formal or public no- uce- oi meetings would be needed, she said conceivably the board could meet secret ly and negotiate easements. land sales And exchanges wunout anyone being the wiser.
