OF Oregon came to Congress the
same year Mr.. Udall did. They
served together for two years on
the Interior and Insular Affairs
Committee and for six on the
House Education and Labor
Committee. II think he Is q
person of tremendous mental
capacity and unquestioned in
Ftegrity." Mrs. Green said.
Another one OF his colleagues
on the House Education and
Labor Committee, Representa-
tive Frank Thompson of New
Jersey. called him brilliant,
tenacious and courageous" He
is certainly a liberal" Mr..
Thompson added. "a very prac-
tical and constructive one"
Mr.. Udall was grateful for
the good opinions. but he Is
reticent in talking about him
self. He has only eight lines Of
biography in the Congressional
Directory. And when his ap-
pointment was announced, his
office issued a biographical
sketch consisting Of one type
written page. double-spaced. a
good part devoted to Mr..
Udall's family background.
Descendant of Pioneers
He has descended from two
pioneer Arizona families. His
grandfather, Jacob H amlin,
was one Of the early explorers
and Indian peacemakers who
first entered Arizona in 1858
and was known in Western his
tory as Mormon Leather
Stocking" .
The family has long been
prominent In legal circles. His
father. Lewis s. Udall, was Chief
Justice Of the Arizona Supreme
Court. An Uncle. Don Udall, is
Q county superior court Judge.
So many Udalls are judges and
lawyers that court schedules
sometimes have to be changed
since one Udall will not sit in
a case in which another ap-
pears.
His father, who was self.
taught as lawyer and O lead
er Of the st. Johns Stake Of the
Mormon church for many years
before he was elevated to the
Arizona Supreme Court, was
the main influence in the
Secretary-designate's life.
HE chose a public career
as a way of life," Mr.. Udall
said. He didn't leave much in
the way Of material things, but
he left the best in the way Of
an example. He left US all with
the feeling that the finest
thing a person could do was
render public service"
The fathers influence has
been reflected In Mr.. Udall's
life. starting at an early age.
The elder Udall was an active
supporter Of the Boy Scouts
and the son at II was a Scout
leader. when / went to see

tional Education Association
here, called Mr.. Udall "an &C.
tive and enthusiastic support
er" Of education and one Of the
top people on the House COM
mittee ''in intelligence and dill
gence."
He always gave a great deal
to education" DR.. Fuller said
THE whole family is educa-
tion-minded."
His Credo Of Freedom
In other ways also the new
Secretary has reflected the in
fluence Of his father. In one
Of his decisions Judge Udall
wrote: "In a democracy, suf-
frage is the most basic civil
right since its exercise is the
chief means whereby other
rights may be safeguarded. To
deny the right to vote where
one is legally entitled to do so
Is to do violence to the prin-
ciples Of freedom and equality"
So in Congress Mr.. Udall be-
came a consistent supporter of
home rule for the District of
Columbia. He also has favored
a broadened political base in
cluding better financing of
political campaigns through tax
exemption of 500 on contri.
buttons by citizens.
Mr.. Udall was born January
81. 1920. in st. Johns, Ariz.,
and went to elementary and
high school there. II hardly
left there until I finished high
school" Mr.. Udall said. Il am
a real country boy"
He went to Eastern Arizona
College for a year and then
switched to the University Of
Arizona. Because Of a combat
tour with the 18th Air Force
in italy during World War II
as an enlisted gunner on B.
24s and the fulfillment of q
two-year obligation as a mis-
sionary for his church, served
in Pennsylvania and New York,
Mr.. Udall did not graduate un-
til l948.
While DR.. Fuller remembers
him as IAN exceptional stu.

Athletics and OutdOorsman
He has always been inter-
ested in athletics.
He played guard in basket
ball. and was good enough to
make all-conference in 1948.
After the war he played with

Interior affairs - largely In
dians and water resources. With
his built-in Congressional rela-
tions as an advantage, Mr..
Udall is looking forward to
what he considers "a highly
challenging task" under a pres
idential leadership which he
views as "one demanding the
best In you"

Of view" -
Has Six Children
Mr.. Udall, who neither
smokes nor drinks. generally
shuns the party and cocktail
circuit in Washington. He
works hard and at the end Of
q long day in Congress would
leave carrying an old brown
brief case stuffed with "home
work." In 1916 he was mar
ried to the former Ermalee
Webb Of Mesa, Ariz., and their
six children are: Tom, IL;
Scott. IL; Lynn, 10; Lori, g.;
Denis, 4, and James, 1.
For MIR. Udall, keeping his
ties back home and his political
fences mended has been no
chore. AS one who loves the
out-of doors and the great ex-
panses of Arizona, he has gone
back to Tucson every summer
When an interviewer called
at his office after the Christ
mas holidays he was told that
Mr.. Udall, unchanged by his
Cabinet appointment, and his
family were on the way back
to Washington in their station
wagon. Eventually they turned
up here with two NUTS. Pokey
and Snookums. and q cat called
Cindy as additional passengers
on the 2.400-mile trip. We've
been doing 1t twice a year" "
said Mr.. Udall. Its like learn
ing bomb shelter living--a little

Favors Orderly Development
Mr.. Udall withheld any dis
cussion Of the policies he will
advocate for a department
which had a budget of $500
million last year. But he made
it clear that he shares Senator
Kennedy's view. emphasized
when his appointment was an
nounced, that there must be an
orderly and effective develop
ment Of the Nations natural
resources.
II have a lot of IDEAS" he
remarked.
Hints Of what his policies
will be may be found in his rec
ord in Congress. He supported
Federal construction Of the
Hell's Canyon high dam as
against the series Of low dams
advocated by the Eisenhower
administration in partnership"
with private enterprise. He also
has advocated timber manage
ment so that small operators
have q chance to compete with
the big interests.
He knows Indians and their
problems as well as anyone else
who has served in Congress and
he can be expected to lend an
attentive ear to their needs.
From q State which has more
national parks and monuments
than any other, he is expected
to be a strong advocate Of con-
serving and expanding these
lands.
Prefers Natural Monuments
Mr.. Udall has made it clear
that he favors natural monu-
ments over those of stone and
marble. In a House speech In
1859 he urged Congress to ban
the erection Of statues or me-
MORALS in Washington's park

have elapsed after the death Of

Has Wide Interests
His friendship with the poet
who will take part in the Ken
nedy Inauguration, is indica-
tive OF the wide ranging in
terests Of the Arizona liberal
Democrat who will be IL years
old January 81. Described by q
House colleague as truly q ded-
icated liberal" Mr.. Udall
seems to be as ably fitted to be
as leader on Mr.. Kennedy's
New Frontier" as were his
hardy Mormon forebears on the
wild frontier of northeastern
Arizona.

self as being constructive, and

Diversified Department
SAs Secretary Of the Interior,
Mr.; Udall will be directing one
OF the most diversified and
far-reaching departments of
the Federal Government. In
some fashion 1t touches almost
every American citizen and
ranges to the inundated islands
in the remote regions Of the
Pacific.
He will be responsible for a
vast system of public parks,
visited by millions each year:
such mundane things as land
management and such matters
requiring human understanding
as Indian affairs; reclamation,
fisheries and even a railroad in
Alaska. Under his supervision
will be more than 81 900 en-
pIoyes $500 in the Washington
area. .-.
Where you have. so much di-
versity," said Mr.. sUdall, you
not only have to select quail
fled and creative people to work
with, but you also have to Gre
ate q great team"
Since his appointment was
announced the Secretary-des-
ignate, while holding tempo
rarily his House seat, has been
busy creating his team. Well
oriented politically, he has been
touching base" in required
party circles. But to one and
all who have someone to recon-
ment, Mr.. Udall says: II want
the best man possible -"
Widely Approved
He was one Of the President
elects earlier cabinet selections
and the only one plucked di-
rectly out Of Congress. None
OF Mr.. Kennedy's appointments
has met with more outspoken
approval among House Demo-
Gratis than that Of Mr.. Udall,
who was just going into his
fourth term. -

Unknown EDglishrnan Bestows Gifts

EDINBURGH, Scotland N - Nineteen years ago Robbie Will son, 6, got bored with his sister Edna's fourth birthday party and ran out to play in the street.
 The driver of a passing auto mobile swerved but hit the child and killed him. The driver car- ried the boy into the house and collapsed.
 A doctor treated Hobbies par ents and the motorist for shock. Then the driver left. He didn't tell the Wilson's his name. They knew only that he lived in Eng land, in the city of Sunderland.
 A year later, on Edna's birth day, a huge parcel arrived for the girl. It was rocking horse. There was no sender's name. The only clue was the postmark: Sum derland.
 On her sixth birthday, Edna got child's cycle. Again it came from Sunderland.
 Each year since Edna has re- ceived an expensive birthday present from Sunderland. As she grew older the gifts became more sophisticated beauty set, French perfume, cosmetics.
 When sf1e became old enough to drive, money arrived to pay for driving lessons.
 A beautiful evening gown was her Fist birthday gift.
 A few weeks ago Edna married and went to live in an Edinburgh suburb. The family has no idea how the man in Sunderland found out, but he sent wedding pre- sent.
 The Wilson family still doesn't know who he is.
