Politics doesn't run in the
Neuberger family--it gallops.
When Richard L. Neuberger
was elected oregon's first DEM
ocrat Senator IN 40 years. his
native Portland and Multnomah
County gave him q handsome
ma ority over the incumbent,
Senator Guy Gordon. But the
41-year-old author politician ;
conservationist by no means
garnered the largest Democratic
vote In his county.
His wife, Maurine, outstripped
him by 5000 votes In her own
campaign for reelection to the
State Legislature.
The name Neuberger-R Rich
ard and Maurine-was not q
new one in Oregon politics. Five
years ago, when Senator Neu-
berger ran for the State Senate.
Mrs. Neuberger decided 10 run
for the State House. Both were
elected by big margins, and
from their first terms. both
worked as an energetic team In
the State Capitol.
Wife Lends q Hand.
During the most recent cam
paign. Mrs. Neuberger worked
vigorously for her husband.
Conservation was the keynote
Of the Neuberger campaign. He
is an articulate and stalwart
champion of the controversial
Federal dam project proposed
for Hells Canyon on the Snake
River. Since Senator Neuber-
gers campaign, one wonders
whether there could be any one
In Oregon who. doesn't know
about Hells Canyon and its power
potential. unless he be deaf and
illiterate.
The Senator also hit hard at
other power phases-the sale of
Bonneville project power lines
to private utility. reduction of

and what the Senator called
"favoritism to power companies
and discrimination against rural
electric co-ops."

Directed Training Camps.
Mr.. Everett. after graduating
from Yale University's Law
School and practicing law for a
decade. served during World War
as associate director of the War
Department Commission on
| Training Camp Activities. He
was assigned by Secretary New
ton D. Baker to study health
and moral conditions in and near
training centers. to prepare
| pamphlets and to lecture to
rockies and key industrial groups
on the hazards of veneral dis
ease.
After the war, Mr.. Everett
and half-a dozen co-workers
convinced John D. Rockefeller
jr., that this public education
should be continued, and large
sums were contributed for the
work. For 10 years, Mr.. Everett,
as director of community or
ganization and publications Of
the American Social Hygiene
Association, edited the Journal
of Social Hygiene and travelled
throughout the country to
organize State and local forces
