CHILDREN'S lb)' IS) JACK.., JILL TO BE TAKEN AT u ., i Key Hunting Hubby Wants Open Door By ANN LANDERS Dear Ann Landers: 1 have a pioblem which I've never seen in your column. Furthermore I've never heard ol anyone who has had this kind of trouble. My husband Insists that i leave the door our apartment open between 5:30 and 6 o'clock in the evening when he is expected home fori dinner. He just hates to dig around for his key. I should tell you that he usually carries a brief case and some books so I concede it may be a bit of a nuisance. I've offered to unlock the door immediately if he will only knock, whistle or ring, but this isn't good enough! He can't stand to wait. He wants the door to be open so he can walk right in. Yesterday he got so mad he yelled loud enough for the neigh bors to hear "If this door isn t open tomorrow I'm going to kick it down!" What do you suggest? -BROWBEATEN Dear Brow: Of course It would be more convenient If the door were open so he could walk right in. It would be even more con venient If there were no door at all. But a grown man should have sense enough to realize that if he could walk In, so could any vagrant, thief or lunatic. Tell him to grow up. A major symptom of infantile behavior is the Inability to defer to others. The inconvenience of using his key is a trifle compared with what he stands to lose by insisting that you leave the door open. Dear Ann Landers: My 10-year. old daughter was behaving badly in a department store yesterday, She was running up and down the aisles, pulling dresses off the hangers and opening stock draw ers. 1 told tier repeatedly to stop it. She'd say "O.K., Mommy, and two minutes later she'd do something else. When my back was turned she climbed on. a table and stuck her hand in a bird cage. This was the limit so I gave her a swat on the behind. She bawled for a minute then behaved perfectly. A close friend who was with me criticized me for spanking the child in public. She said only low class people do this and I should have waited until we got home Do you agree? CRITICIZED Dear Criticised: The most ef fective punishment is the kind handed out on the spot. Time takes on strange dimen sions to youngsters. An hour can seem like a week. Had you wait. REG. 4.50 VALUE Only ONE OF THE POPULAR JACK & JILL PHOTOGRAPHERS WILL BE IN OUR STORE TO TAKE LIFELIKE COLOR PICTURES OF YOUR CHILDREN HOURS: 10 A.M. to 6 P.M. SO DRESS 'EM UP & BRING 'EM IN FRI.-SAT OCT. 13-14 Thursday, October U. 1961 ed until you got home she might have forgotten that she behaved badly. By only criticism is that you didn't let her have it sooner. Dear Ann Landers: A friend who works near my place of employ ment rides to and from work with me almost every day. Sometimes he invites a friend or two to ride along. This has been going on for almost two years. Not once has he offered to buy gas or oil for the car. I wonder if he thinks a car runs on "Thank You." I am not a petty person, nor am I in bad financial shape, but I hate to be a sap. What are your feelings on this subject? FREE TAXI Dear Free: People who accept favors should reciprocate In some manner. Perhaps your friend feels you would be insulted if he offered to fill the tank. An occasional gilt would show appreciation. In any event, "Thanks for the ride" day after day is not enough. Are you tempted to smoke be cause the crowd does? If so, send for Ann Landers' booklet "Teenage Smoking," enclosing with your request 10 cents in coin and a long, self - addressed, stamped envelope. Ann Landers will be glad to help you with your problems Send them to her in care of this newspaper enclosing a stamped, self-addressed envelope. Atom Tests 'Activate' Fresh Food WASHINGTON (APJ - FaUout from Soviet nuclear tests has in troduced radioactive iodine 131 Into fresh food supplies in many areas In the southeastern United States and probably throughout the eastern half of the country, uie public Health Service an nounced today. "However, present fallout does not warrant undue public concern, nor initiation of public action de signed to limit the intake of radio active substances," Surgeon Gen eral Luther L. Terry said. The service said its announce ment was based on analysis of milk in six cities New Orleans, La.; Atlanta, Ga.; Charleston, S.C.; Jackson, Miss.; Tampa, Fla., and St. Louis, Mo. The Soviet Union resumed nu clear testing Sept. 1. Since then according to President Kennedy's disclosure Wednesday at a news conference, the Soviet Union has fired more than 20 nuclear explo sions into the atmosphere. Iodine is a source of potential concern because physicians 'say extensive overdoses might result In cancer or other injury to the thyroid. Three weeks ago, the top-levol Federal Radiation Council cut sharply its recommended maxi mum safe limit on the intake of radioactive iodine 131. The cut was recommended particularly for the protection of children. Under the old standard, a daily intake of up to approximately 1,300 micro-microcuries was con sidered acceptable. A micro- mlcrocurie is a measure of radio activity. Diplomat Sent Back To Russia THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) Soviet Ambassador Pantelcimon K. Ponomarenko, who was in volved in an airport fracas with Dutch police over the defection of a Soviet scientist, flew to Mos cow today. Angry demands for Ponomarcn ko's expulsion by the Dutch gov ernment nave been made as a result of Monday's brawl which ended with a Soviet chemist A 1 e x e i Golub, seeking asylum nere while his wife returned to Russia. The fight started when police refused to return the woman's passport until they were sure she was leaving of her own free will. Ponomarenko told newsmen he expected to be back in Amster dam in two weeks, after the 22nd Congress of the Soviet Communist party. Jteralfc Klamath Fall.

Although Senator Pearson voiced his candidacy somewhat hesitat ingly and coupled, it with certain conditions during a recent inter view at the Herald and News, he left the crystal-clear implication that he would be a candidate pro viding he is promised sufficient financial support. "It takes a lot of money," he admitted, adding, "I have served 20 years in public office and don't know if I have the time to do the campaigning job that is neces sary, but 1 m giving it serious thought." When questioned directly wheth- Disfricf Attorney Drops Mortgaged Car Charges Charges against Samuel A. Rut- ledge, 25-year-old Seattle man originally charged with taking a mortgaged car out of the state, were dismissed Wednesday by the district attorney's office. The charge against Rutledge had changed three times during the two months he was in the county jail. He was indicted on Aug. 4 by the grand jury on a charge of larceny by bailee over $75, a felony. Rutledge pleaded guilty to petit larceny on Oct. 3 but before he could be sentenced a third charge was filed, larceny by bailee under $75, a misdemean or. Rutledge also pleaded guilty to the latter charge but Judge David R. Vandenberg ordered the plea withdrawn because the charge had been improperly submitted. The DA's office had to dismiss the charge or re-submit it to the grand jury. Rutledge was accused of tak ing a 1952 sedan owned by Doyle Shoplifting Case Ends A shoplifting case against two young women ended Wednesday! when one woman pleaded guilty and the district attorney's of fice dismissed the charge against the other woman.

Pearson replied, "If some of those w ho have urged me to run will, assure me suffi cient campaign funds, I would be available." i Among the issues which should be prominent in the 19fi2 guberna torial race. Pearson lists the rec ord of Gov. Mark Hatfield. He also referred to "double-talking and hypocrisy ot Hatfield as being an issue. Pearson also said Hatfield s absence from the state and his campaigning for a higher office while holding the office of gover nor will be additional campaign issues, and there will be others." When discussing a possible split among the Democrats over the question of liberalism versus con servatism, Pearson explained. "If L. Moore out of the state on July 16. Deputy District Attorney Sam McKeen said Moore got his car back and Rutledge spent 60 days ir jail "so justice was served. Coast Ship Strike Ends SAN FRANCISCO (AP)-A two week deck officers strike that idled 44 ships along the West Coast has ended. Spokesmen for the Masters, Mates and Pilots Union' and for the shipowners, represented by the Pacific Maritime Association, credited U.S. Undersecretary of Labor Willard Wirtz with bringing! the two sides together. Wirtz called it a compromise Neither side seemed very happy with the settlement. ' The union voted 335-252 to re turn to work today. The three year contract stiU is subject to a referendum of the union member ship. Most of the ships idled were not expected to sail until Friday be cause today is Columbus Day. Both sides agreed to negotiate further on six issues,! including snrh kpv itpms n npnsinn ntan revisions ancf establishment of a mechanization fund. The deck officers reportedly asked a 15 per cent increase and a one-year contract while the shipowners offered an 11 per cent increase in a four-year contract Current pay and fringes range from $14,000 to $27,500 a year. Spreading of work was a prin cipal result of Wednesday's agree ment. Masters will get 90 days vacation a year, an increase of 20 days. Relief crews will be hired out of union halls, instead of from smaller ships. Casual workers who had been getting no vacation will get five days of vacation a month. Port relief officers and ships officers will receive $3.89 an hour for night relief work in U.S. ports whether or not cargo is involved No other wage figures were an nounced.

HURRY HUXRY ENDS SATURDAY lot u ytyi 'liberalism' means trying to find ways to spend tax monies, then I'm a conservative. On the other hand, if vou consider 'liberalism' as advocating new ideas and bet ter ways to serve the people, then I'm a liberal. He .scored attempts to split the Democratic party as "just talk." adding, "Some self-styled liberals have tried to split the' party, and 'have called evervone but them selves 'conservatives,' but they have not succeeded. Pearson gave his strong support to Oregon Tech, saying, "A lot of citizens feel it should not be located here, but I think it is ideal ly located, and is a very fine part of our higher education system. It may be costly to build the new campus, but it is very important for future generations to do so. Reapportionment also came in for a round of discussion. The Multnomah County senator, who was president of the Senate in 1959. commented that he did not think the plan drafted by the leg islature would prove constitution al. "I urged them to give Multno mah County one more senator and one more representative and 1 think that would have taken care of it," he said. He added that he didn't feel Multnomah County needed addi tional legislators since they were well represented now, but they were entitled to the addition un der the present provisions of the constitution for reapportionment. Pearson stamped his approval on the Annala plan, one offered at the last session by George An nala. Hood River representative Under this plan, each county would receive one representative and the balance would be appor tioned by population. He did not feel the federal plan would be applicable to the Senate since it would mean more than 30 senators, and, he said, "There just is not room for any more than 30 senators." Queried about how the people of Multnomah County might vote on a constitutional amendment to give Eastern Oregon more repre sentation in the legislature, Pear son said, "The people of Multno mah County are generous, and I feel that they would approve any constitutional amendment that was fair and equitably drawn." "Multnomah County is inter ested in the problems of the state," he continued. "They de pend on Eastern Oregon for s great deal of their traffic." He also had kind words for the constitutional revision committee of which he is a member. He indicated that the plans of the committee are to draft both complete model 'constitution, and a program for a revised consti tution for presentation to the next legislature. They can then either adopt a completely new one. he said revise the old one." He also praised members of the committee as "excellent men who are interested In doing a thorough job." Politics has been a way of life for Senator Pearson since his boy hood. He recalled that his grand father was the first Democrat elected to represent West Virginia in Congress after the Civil War.

His first plunge personally into the political wars came in 1942 when the Democratic state chair man urged him to run for the House and even paid his filing fee. Pearson was elected, and then in 1944 was elected to a term in the Senate. He was elected state treasurer in 1948, sat out a two year term on the political side lines, then returned to be elected to the House in 1954 and the Sen ate in 1956.

', 'I welcome a race," Pearson said, adding, "It gives the people an opportunity to choose their own candidates." With that it was apparent that the senator from Multnomah Coun ty's iiat was squarely in the race for the governorship in 1962.
