! EDUCATIONAL EXPANSION
-. -
Charles V. Stanton
. Fear of a proposal to provide state financial aid to
Central Oregon Junior College at Bend causes the Eugene
Register-Guard to speak editorially of, "watering down
higher education."
' Eugene and Corvallis naturally are jealous of their
favored positions as sites of the State University nnd State
College. It is to be expected that they will "view with
alarm" any policy'that might weaken either of these fine
institutions.
' J The Legislature has before it a bill which would grant
to; the Junior College at Bend a yearly sum of $1,000 plus
$iO0 annually for each student. The Register-Gtmrd fears
that if money from the budget for higher education is
made available to junior colleges it will not be long until
other communities establish similar schools. This would
result, the Eugene newspaper fears, in watering down
.the budget to the point that the whole system of higher
education would be critically endangered.
,! ' If we are to stand on the premise that the budget for
higher education is to remain fairly static, there is good
reason for the fear expressed at Eugene.
Oregon's rate of growth is creating more and more of
an educational problem. It is imperative that more money
be. made available, not only for higher education but for
local needs as well.
Spreading Educational Opportunity
: :' If more money must be supplied for higher education',
should the increase in funds go entirely toward expansion
of the University and College or should educational oppor
tunity be' spread but over the state through a system of
Junior Colleges?
Wehave in Oregon an exceptionally fine University
and College. Everything possible should be done to keep
these-institutions -at the highest possible level.
The -proportion of high school graduates who continue
their education; into higher fields of learning constantly is
growing. ' On ' the ' other hand, a considerable number of
young people do not ' go on to the University or College.
Many- of these doubtless would advance their education if
local facilities were made available.
. But before we can set up a system of Junior Colleges
we muSt adequately finance our existing schools.1. We
should take care of what we have before expanding our
program.
It is my belief,' however, that as soon as we can en
large our budget for education, establishment of Junior
Colleges' should be one of the first steps.
Technical Education Needed
In addition to Junior Colleges, I believe we need more
technical schools.' - The Oregon Technical Institute at Klam
ath Falls is constantly under fire. It has a most difficult
time obtaining a bare operating budget. It is the orphan
of the " '.'hither education system. : Yet is has - an outstand
ing record for achievement. - Its graduates are in demand
everywhere. ' It boasts that no gradunte is unemployed.
For too manv years we have directed our education
toward white c6llar professions. But the great demand
today is for technically trained men and women. Mech
anized production demands skilled labor.
A few days ago I was talking with a man who oper
ates a plant in which there are many complicated and
expensive machines. These
chanical supervision. They must be kem in minute ad
justment. From time to time they suffer breakage. A man
thoroughly skilled in all phases of the machinist trade is
a. key employee in this particular plant. This employer,
however, has a hard time finding skilled mechanics.
Where in Oregon can a young man be schooled as a
machinist? Facilities for learning the intricate and de
tailed profession of mechanics are few, and all too few
students are being trained to meet the needs of mechan
ized industry. .
Until more money becomes available for enlarging our
school system. I can share fears of impairment of exist
ing fine institutions bv trying to spread the budget too
thin. . But, when the time comes we can make .more mon
ey available for education, serious thoueht, I believe,
should be given establishment of Junior College and tech
nical courses at the local level.

ES. Kor the same reason British
industrialists haven't been too
keen about increasing their pro
duction.
Britain needs more production
in order to be able to sell more
goods abroad so as to be able to
buy more food and more raw ma
terials, which she must have to
keep her economy going. For this
reason, the Conservative govern
ment would doubtless have liked
to cut the tax rate much more,
but for a rather interesting reason
didn't dare to.
- The reason is this: '
A cut in taxes means an increase
in the spendable income of the
British people. If the British peo
ple have more money to spend,
they will spend it in acquiring for
themselves more oT the products of
British -Industry such as auto
mobiles, refrigerators, washing
machines and all the modern gadg

pleasant.
If they do that, they will absorb

If British imports continue over
a long period of time to exceed
British exports, the British econ

will go broke.
It's a strange world, isn't it?
That brings Up an interesting in
cident of the conference of 29 Asi

that the world's most urgent need
is a ban on the USE OK FORCE

That's putting it pretty straight.
Japan, which went to war in an

Approves Construction Qf
Buildings At $14,904,000
By PAUL W. HARVEY Jr.
SALEM I The Oregon Legis
lature's Joint Ways and Means
Committee Wednesday approved
construction of $14,904,658 worth of
state buildings in the next two
years. 4
The amount Is the same as
recommended by its five-man
building subcommittee.
The committee took its action
after defeating 8-6 a motion to
suspend the entire building
program if the people refer and
defeat the Legislature's tax pro
gram. This motion was made by
Rep. Henry bemon, Klamath Falls,
chairman of the House Ways and
Means Committee.
This program will be sent to the
floor in five bills, as follows:
$10,305,000 for 10 state institution
projects, including the beginning of
the menial hospital near Portland
.and the reformatory north of
Salem.
$3,975,000 for buildings at the
univei-Miy anu siaie colleges.
$414,300 for shop building con
struction at Oregon Technical
Institute at Klamath Falls.
SIGO.000 to move the printing
department from the Agriculture
to the Finance Build i ng in Salem,
and to remodel the Agriculture
Building.
$50,298 for Fish Commission con
struction at its Alsea hatchery and
Clackamas laboratory.
The committee indicated it would
sponsor a night caucus of the
Legislature to explain the program.
A bill establishing the minimum
butterfat content of milk at 3.8 per
cent was passed by the House and
sent to the Senate. There has been
no legal minimum since the

Radford, Robertson Leave
On Emergency
Formosa Tension Is Hinted
WASHINGTON ( Adm. Arth
ur E. Radford and Asst. Secre
tary of State Walter Robertson
took off for Formosa Wednesday
on a suddenly ordered trip which
the Defense Department said is
related to the "tense situation
which continues in the area."
Newsmen asked Radford if some
new crisis had arisen, if the situ
ation was more tense than it had
been, and if he was "more con-,
cerned." To all of that the chair
man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
answered "no" and said:
"I think the buildup (of Red
power) is a methodical, deter
mined omen and points out the
Chinese have not deviated from
their intentions to take Formosa
by force.
Radford was asked if he was
going on an order of President
Eisenhower.
"I am going because I have
been told to by the secretary of
defense," was his answer.
Congress Chat
By HARRIS ELLSWORTH,
M. C, 4th Oregon District
The solution of the troublesome
problem of phony or nuisance fil
ing of mining claims in the Na
tional Forests is m sight at last.
I joined several other House Mem
bers in introducing a bill which
provides that the title to timber
and certain surface rights shall
be retained by the government
on claims filed under the general
mining laws. This legislation is
long overdue.
I became aware of the problem
back in 1945 and 1946 when it be
came apparent that the increase
in the value of timber stumpage
was inspiring many people to
tile mining claims in heavuy um
bered areas obviously in the hope
of cashing in on the timber on the.
surface of the land rather than
on the minerals beneath the sur
face. My bill to take care of this
problem on the O & C lands was
finally passed in 1948. Legislation
for the same purpose to apply
generally to all public lands in
cluding the National Forests has
heretofore met with difficulties. 1
think the trouble was that al
though all concerned agreed that
the mining laws should be changed
so as to prevent "timber mining"
everyone seemed to have a differ
ent idea as to just how it should
be done. Last year, for example,
two House Committees, Interior
and Agriculture, met in a head-on
clash each committee 'lad its own
version of a mining bill and each
objected to the bill approved by
the other.
At last a bill is before Con'reaj
which is approved by the Forest
Service, the Bureau 01 Land Man
agement, the organized mining in
dustry, the American Forestry As
sociation and conservation groups.
The language was worked out by
the two land administering agen
cies Forest Service and B. L. M.
but I think much credit for lead-
ership in the undertaking should
go to Ervin L. Peterson, former
Director of Agriculture for the
State of Oregon, now Assistant
Secretary of Agriculture here in
Washington.
If and when this new bill is en
acted into law and I feel certain
that it soon will be legitimate
mining exploration and discovery
will not be hampered. Mining op
erations such as (he great Itanna
project at Riddle and the Al Sar-
! pna (for "early a ha! "Hun
known as the "Buzzard mine in
Jackson County) can be developed.
The new law will not change the
long and expensive procedure to.;
hnng a mining claim to patent.
During the election campaign last
I her mining" activities which had
aroused to much public indigna
tion and which will be slopped by
the new law. The Al Sarena claims
were filed more than 50 years ago
and are a part of a long establish
ed bona fide mining operation.
Having complied with the provi
sions of the mining laws t h e
claimants were entitled to patents.
Secretary McKay, if he knew
about the matter at all, could not
have prevented the operation ol
the law. As a matter of fact the
money for those patents was paid
lo and accepted by Oscar Chap
man when he was the Sscretary of
the Interior.
One week was not nearly enough
time in which to do all of the
things, go to the places and see

Trip To East;
Radford said he expected to be
away from Washington about 10
days and that while in Formosa
he "presumed" that he would meet
with Generalissimo Chiang Kai
Shek. The Pentagon statement said the
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff and the State Department's
Asian expert will consult with of
ficials of the Nationalist govern
ment. The talks will be carried out
under the terms of the mutual
aid treaty with Formosa.
The first consultation under the
treaty was held March 3 when
Secretary of State Dulles went to
Taipei with Adm. Robert B. Carn
ey, chief of naval operations.
Pentagon aides said that Rad
ford had been scheduled to go to
Europe in a few days to take part
in a command exercise organized
bv supreme headquarters of the
North Atlantic Treaty Organization
powers.
These officials said however,
that the situation in the Far East
promoted President Eisenhower
and the Mate Department to can
cel Radford's trip to Europe.
Robertson and Radford will stop
in Honolulu, where they will con
fer with Adm. Felix B. Stump, the
Navy's Pacific commander in
chief, before proceeding to For
mosa. They're due in Taipei about
noon Sunday, April 24.
300 Pickets Riot
At Lake Success
Gyroscope Plant
NEW YORK ( About 300
massed pickets rioted Wednesday
at the main entrance of the Sper
ry Gyroscope plant , at Lake Suc
cess. One nonstriker trying to gain
entrance to ''he plant collapsed
and died of a heart attack. A pol
liceman's leg was broken. A strik
er broke an arm.
Two village policemen on duty
with riot guns were afraid to make
any arrests, lest they provoke
further violence. They sought re
inforcements in vain.
About 100 automobiles were
damaged as the pickets fought to
prevent non-strikers from enter
ing the plant.
The violence broke out on the
second day of a strike of CIO Elec
trical Workers in a dispute over a
new contract. The strike halted
production of electronics equip
ment for the armed forces.
Many pickets formed human
chains at the entrances to the
plant, jumped on automobiles of
supervisory employes reporting for
work, rocked the vehicles and in
one case picked up a small for
eign car with the occupants in.it,
and bounced the car on the road.
Nine thousand electrical work
ers struck at midnight Monday to
back their demands for a wage
boost of 18 cents an hour. The
company had offered 12 cents,
spread over three years. Present
wages of the strikers average $2
an hour, with an additional four
cents in welfare benefits.

Proposed Changes
In Right-Of-Ways
To Be Discussed
PORTLAND . 1 Proposed
changes in right-of-way regulations
for gettinf at Umber on Oregon
and California revested lands
objects of strong controversy will
be discussed at a special meeting
here Tuesday.
Edward Woozler, director of the
Bureau of Land Management, will
meet with representatives of the
18 O&C counties and with spokes
men for opposing views of tha
proposals.
Opponents of the changes say
the present regulations are better
and that the proposals would re
duce competition. These opponents
include , small operators, the Ore
gon State Grange, the CIO Inter
national Woodworkers and the AFL
Lumber and Sawmill Workers.
Those who favor the change say
the BLM found the old regulations
unworkable and charge that oppo
sition has become an emotional
issue. This favoring group includes
most of the large timber operators.
The State Avisory Board of the
BLM drafted the changes which
were altered slightly by the BLM
and put in the form of an order
in February.
The regulations are intended to
provide for use of timber access
roads under rules -.vhich will
compensate those who build them
yet not impose unreasonable fees
or other barriers to those who
must move logs over them. f-
