ORe.UBHAHT .soDiprn SECTION In The- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS Question or today: What kind of person is the normal, average American wife? You'll he surprised. She is "astonishingly normal She is physically attractive. She is emotionally healthy. She is a good mother. She is a CONTENT ED wife. But OH, she's DULL! Who says so? Well, it isn't just back-yard Eos sip, or cockta1! chit-chat. It is a carefully considered profile of the wives of "normal" American males, as reported yesterday at a meeting in St. Louis of the American Psychiatric Association How did the study that resulted in this conclusion get started' It's quite a story. In an attempt to discover the characteristics of "the normal American male," the "f ychiatric investigators first udicd 50 men who 12 years ago as ninth graders had obtained nor mal personality scores on tests given to almost 200 Minneapolis students. That study attracted so much attention that later the wives of 38 of these men w-ho had mar- ried at age 26 were studied. The combined resu'ts were made pub lie at St. Louis as a part of the Psychiatric Association's week- long conference. Most of the couples, it was learned in the study, were reli giously devout and had attained; the same levels of education. None had even temporarily sepa rated from a spouse and there was no evidence of critical mari tal discord in their futures. On test items reflecting "con tentment with lot in life, effec tiveness and over-all adjustment" both wives and husbands rated high, but on items reflecting "richness of personality the rat ings were LOW The verdict of the psychia trists? Here it is, in a nutshell: "If these couples epitomize what may now be a relatively common adaptation of the population at large, we wish to express our mixed teciings alxmt tins adjust' merit. "Such a population would pro mote stability or a firm backbone of the country. But THESE COU PLES' LIVES SEEM ESSENTI ALLY MUNDANE AND DULL." Well Maybe so. But this admittedly old-fashioned scribe would like to go on record here with an opinion to the effect that it ALL our American young people who finish school and get married and tackle the job of making a living and rais ing a family wouldlgo about it alter tlie manner of these young people who were studied by the psychiatrists, we wouldn't need to do much worrying (aHout the fu ture of our country. Coopei Orbit Set Tuesday CAPE CANAVERAL ifPI' America plans to launch Aic force aj. L. Cordon Cooper Jr. next Tuesday on a 22-orbit voy age that may give millions of "armchair astronauts" a spectac ular view of space. Cooper is the last of the flight eligible Mercury astronauts to get a crack at space, and his is the prize a marathon, 34-hour journey that, if all goes well, will keep him in orbit longer than all previous U.S. manned space ilights combined. Millions of television viewer? from Seattle, Wash., to Berlin. Germany, may have a chance to share the astronaut's breathtak ing views of space for the lirst lime. Cooper will take along a small television camera to lake pictures that will be flashed to America and Europe. The United States hopes to flash television pictures to Europe via its new communica tions satellite, Telstar-2. launched from Cape Canaveral last Tues day. Twelve European networks have indicated interest in trans mitting the Cooper pictures to homes on the continent. The slender spaceman-elect, at 36 the youngest of the original seven Mercury astronauts, is scheduled In blast off from Cape Canaveral aboard a silvery Atlas rocket next Tuesday. A bell-shaped capsule be named Faith-7 will be Cooper's home in space on the flight that hopefully will lake him 22 times around the globe, at altitudes .tm-Tino Irnm 1(10 10 170 milCS. including an unprecedented four passes over Communist v-iuna.

The next regularly scheduled meetine of the board will be held at 7:30 p.m. Monday in the Administra tion Building. South Alameda Avenue. The board previously decided at Thursday's meeting to go ahead with the Friday night meeting since it nad already been sched uled. The group met at 4 p.m. Thurs day in a meeting that was de clared not official. Harold Ashley, city school clerk. called the meeting under the Ore gon Common School law which reads that the clerk will call a meeting of the board immediately after the death of one of the members. Mis. Margaret Sheri dan, board member, died Wednes day night after a stroke. Attorneys for the city school system ruled the meeting not le gal because C'iff Robinson, coun ty school superintendent, hadn't officially declared a vacancy ex isted on the KU board before the meeting was called. The attorneys also felt that all school board meetings must have the regular legal 48-hour notice. Several ob servers have unofficially chal lenged this interpretation of I he law. The board authorized Rav Hun sakcr, city school superintendent, to ask the state attorney general for a ruling on whether the May eioction has' to canvassed within 10 days alter the votina and whether C. O. Borsling remains a members of the board until Lou Kellison, his replacement in the Plevna District, is sworn in. Thhere is no ruling in the Un ion High School law that covers this procedure, but Georec Proe- lor, school attorney, ruled that Borsling served only until the May 6 election. Jim Turnbuil, deputy superin tendent, State Department of Edu cation, in an unofficial determina tion, said that when the Union High School la doesn't spell out procedure it has been the practice to go back to the Common School uisinci law. turnbuil was con tracted by phone Thursday after noon. The Common School District law- stales that a school board mcm- ner icgauy serves until his re placement is duly sworn in. This would mean that Borsling would remain a board member until the votes are canvassed and Kel lison is sworn in. Because of this difference in in terpretation the altorney general has been asked to rule on the mat ter. It is not expected that the ruling will be made immediately.

I hat means if the constitution gets the two-thirds vote it needs to pass the Senate, it will have to go back to the House, and per haps to a conference committee, to resolve differences. The House passed document contained Oregon's present appor tionment plan. Sen. Anthony Yturii, R-Ontano, sponsored the replacement that was approved ft-3 by the Senate committee. Both plans are based on popu lation. Effect Noted But under Oregon's presenl pop ulation pattern, the effect of the Yturri plan would be a slight gain in strength for Eastern Oregon Yturri said it would be equivalent to adding a 10 per cent land fac lor. Population shifts in future dec ades could, however, remove the Eastern Oregon advantage. Yturri said under his plan Ihc maximum possible disproportion is not any greater than under Ihe present plan. Sen. Don Willncr. D-Portland, disagreed and said the differences in voter strength could be greater. . Yturri predicted his plan would gain voles In the Senate and the House would accept it. The com mittee ordered specific language dialled. The Yturri plan would make the sizes of the House and Senate flexible, removing the problem of what lo do when eligible districts under the present formula fail to add up lo 30 and 60, as happened two years ago. Would Keep Fractions It would keep 1-30 and 1-60 nf the population, however, to use in determining eligible districts as nearly as possible on a population Dynamite Truck Blows On Road RITZVILLE, Wash.

Thus, future' legislature, could reinstate capital punishment. The action was designed to give voters an opportunity to decide Ihe death penalty question after Ihey vote on the proposed new state constitution, which retains Ihe death penalty. The new constitution, already approved by the House, would be voted upon in the 1!W4 primary if it clears the legislature. Meanwhile, the Senate Commit tee on Constitutional Revision In dicated it may try to put tho death penalty question on the same May, 1904, ballot.
