Washington Correspondent
Washington -(Special)-Sen.
Maurine Neuberger, who fol
lowed her late husband into
big time politics, has set, out
to follow his example into the
big time literary realm.
She has just finished a
book, due for publication in
the fall, on one of her favor
ite causes - arousing public
and governmental interest in
the connection between cig
arette smoking and cancer of
the lungs. In the book, Mrs.
Neuberger says she seta forth
her program for controlling
diseases connected with smok
ing. .
The senator needs help in
finding an intriguing title.
One that is being considered
is "Smokescreen." The book
damns the activities of the
tobacco industry which have
been designed to defend smok
ing from the fears aroused by
medical research on the causes
of lung cancer. '
Another title possibility, in
the form of a macabre pun,
is "Dying for a Cigarette?"
Apparently that idea has been
eliminated, although the au
thor feels strongly that cig
arette smokers are risking

The Mississippians of the
National School Assemb lies
entertained the high school
students Wednesday with
series of songs composed of
Negro spirituals as well as
various folk singing tunes,
The Mississippians are a
group, of four- Negro singers
who "originally came from
Mississippi. They have made
numerous a p p e arances, in
cluding one on the Ed Sulli
van show.
Members of the sophomore
class presented a dance
"Spring Fling" in the multl
purpose room recently. Chap-
erones for the dance were Or,
and Mrs. Alvin Fellers, Mr.
and Mrs. John Carnegie, Mr,
and Mrs. Hugh Friel, Mr. and
Mrs. Richard Rementeria, Mr.
McKibbin and Richard Paup.
Richard Schuchard was guest
disc-jockey. The Twilights, a
trio from St. Mary's provided
live music. Chairmen for the
dance were Steve Cook and
Tara Hill.
Dr. Florian J. Shasky spoke
to 23 St. Mary a seniors, jun
iors, and sophomores who
felt they might be interested
in becoming doctors in a
special session in the St,
Mary's library recently. His
talk was in connection with
the M.O.R.E. Program which
the hospitals are sponsoring
in an attempt to recruit more
doctors to satisfy the growing
shortage.
He first discussed the as
pects of a doctor's life and
the various fields into which
a doctor might enter and
then threw the session open
for an informal roup discus
sion.
The M.O.R.E. Program is
being presented to students
at Medford, Phoenix, and
Crater as well as St. Mary's,
and delegates from each
achool will attend a staff tour
of the hospitals.
Kathy Zapell was chosen as
St. Mary s delegate to Girls'
State to be held at Willamette
university this summer. Miss
Zapell is sponsored by the
High School Parents club.
She was chosen by the Girls'
State committee of the Ameri
can Legion auxiliary headed
by Mrs. Edward McGinty. Pat
Fellers was chosen as alter

Wants Control Program
Mrs. Neuberger wants the
Kennedy administration "to
mount an effective program
of smoking control." She says
no new legislation is required
to do this, just administrative
will power. Such a program
should include the following:
1. A massive child and adult
education effort.
2. Expanded research into
both the biological effects of
cigarette smoking and the
technology of producing less
hazardous cigarettes.
3. A Federal Trade commis
sion requirement that cigar
ette ads contain warnings of
the hazards of smoking.
4. Required labeling of cig
arette packages to reveal the
tar and nicotine content under
an existing law which re
quires warnings on hazardous
substances.
In addition, the book advo
cates further legislation to
prohibit free distribution of
cigarette samples to minors,
to restrict the permissible tar
and nicotine yields from cig
arette tobacco, and to provide
an increase in cigarette taxes
to finance programs designed
to educate the public about
the dangers of smoking.
I have been frank but not
moralistic," Mrs. Neuberger
said, "and if I have been hard
on the industry I think I have
been equally hard on the pub
lic guardians whose failure to
act courageously or decisive
ly has left unchecked the epi
demic rise in smoking-connect-ed
disease."
Mrs. Neuberger is an after
dinner writer who enjoys the
diversion of creative writing
much as her late husband,
Richard L. Neuberger, did
when he combined politics
and authorship of books and
magazine articles.
Much of the writing on this
relatively short book was done
during the period between
congressional sessions late last
year. She had some assistance
from medical experts of the
U. S. Public Health service
and her legislative assistant,
Mike Pertschuk, a Portland at
torney, who smokes only ci
gars and a pipe.

About Label Reading
Home gardeners were cau

There are more than 40,000
brands of insecticides and

contain chemicals that are ex

Constitutional Revision Head
Pleased by
Editor's notai The House
makes a historic decision Mon
day, It votes on whether to
send a new state constitution
on to the Senate, and If it
passes there, to the people of
Oregon, This is the last of
six articles.
By ANN H. PEARSON
Salem -IUPD- The chairman
of the Oregon Commission on
C o n s 1 1 tutional Revision is
"quite pleased" over the way
legislative committees have
handled a proposed new state
constitution.
"I would vote for it," said
Attorney George Layman of
Newberg, a former legislator.
"I am pleased at the study
the committees mude and at
their report, which conforms
very largely to the report of
the commission."
If the new document be
comes a reality, it will largely
be the product of these two
teams of 18 men and women
each.
The commission was ap
pointed by action of the 1961
legislature. Its members in
cluded attorneys, judges, for
mer governors, businessmen,
legislators, newspapermen, a
professor and a housewife.
Second Team Takes Over
Over a period of a year and
a half, the commission drafted
a proposed new constitution
which was presented to the
1963 legislature in January.
Then the job was taken
over by the second team: The
nine members of the House
Committee on Constitutional
Revision and the nine mem
bers of its Senate counterpart.
Meeting jointly, the com
mittees went through the com
mission's document section by
section, making changes along
the way. ;
The net effect of tne legis
lative committee work was
to come up with a document
a little nearer Oregon's pres
ent constitution than the com
mission's proposal.
The committees agreed with
the 'commission that a new
constitution should be present
ed as a single package. They
agreed that the executive
branch should be revamped.

Committees1 Work
They discarded the "MIS'
souri Plan" of having judges
run only against their own
records. They dropped a new
reapportionment plan.
The committees compromis
ed on some points, such as
making annual sessions of the
legislature optional instead of
mandatory.
In many of the 14 articles,
they kept the streamlined,
Modernized language of the
commission, virtually un
changed. .
Layman said it was signifi
cant that the committees
agreed with the commission
that the executive branch
must be grouped in 20 de
partments run by a single,
accountable chief executive.
"They really retained the
heart of our desire and at
tempt to make government
more efficient and responsi
ble," he said.

It Is important that they
have approved a package, an
overall revision," he noted.
As for the changes made
by the legislative committees,
Layman said, "I have no rea
son to quarrel with them.
They did not hurt the basic
theory of our work. It was
inevitable another group
would not agree with every
thing. I am pleased they came
up so closely with what we
did."
Layman said he thought
most members of the commis
sion would be satisfied with
the document on which the
House will vote.
' He said the new document,
as revised by the committees,
will do what the commission
intended: "Provide a frame
work, flexible and yet stable,
in which Oregon can grow,
with efficiency and responsi
bility, in the next century."
