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

Canadian imports to 8 per
cent of American domestic
softwood consumption. 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.

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.
"I don't ask for any sympa

Sara M.-I like them and I
intend to continue being
iriendly.
Lottie I.-Out of loyalty to
me, she should end the relationship.
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

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
