He stressed conference agree ment on teacher shortage, goals education, the matter of school ' building problems and the value of carrying such findings to the pub A resident of the Roberts Creek District drew chuckles from the audience after he had held up one hand in answer to Dr. Martin's query "Are there any districts here with no building problems?" Martin sees a change in educa tional patterns. Today the parent and public are interested in educa tion, he believes; not the school alone. While everyone is interested in education, a Goliath problem con fronts the nation. Dr. Alva W. Graham, Southern Oregon College professor of educa tion, reviewed tnc teacner snorc age. "We have 20 requests for ev ery graduate," he said. Oregon colleges continue to insist on hold ing high teacher qualifications, he pointed out, out ne noies a pruu. able dangerous deterioration in the field." This comes' because of insuffi cient numbers of students in educa tion and a loss of 10 per cent of instructors each year. Meanwhile, enrollment skyrockets, he stressed. He had no panacea for this "problem not only of recruitment but replacement." He believes a partial solution is: (1 Holding those in the field (making the pro fession more attractive); (2) at tracting a large share of college graduates; and (3) acquiring college-educated adults on a tempor ary qualification basis. Dr. Gra ham sees need for scholarships, grants and the like to bring more high school students to the teach ing field. The problem of state finance as relative to education was expertly outlined by Stale Sen Paul Geddes. "I'm afraid I can't wave a wand and produce money," he began. . . and then told his audience about Oregon's financial fix. Quickly running through gener al fund expenditures for 1955-57 as compared to 1915-47, Sen. Geddes showed where the jump from 74 millions to 215 millions had come. Education takes 50 per cent today as compared to 45.3 per cent 10 years ago, and the sum is roughly 107 millions compared to '4 mil lions. Similar jumps exist in other categories. Items in General fund expendi tures have been voted by the peo ple, he noted: Such items as basic school support fund, welfare as sistance, a new mental institution, veterans assistance, law enforce ment protection and the like. Such set costs are stationary and can be changed only by voters. i Outside of general fund are mon ies derived from gasoline taxes and such and car marked for state highways. If voters approved, the sum could be partially diverted to education. Legislators did not want to boost real property taxes "real- zing they were man and mr mat reason they approved the 45 per cent sur tax on income, he said, to cover the slalo midgei. "The budget can't be cut, vet money is needed," he said, but "don't ask for it (educational fi nancial assistance) unless you ex pect to pay for it." He noted that a sales tax would have to be ap proved by the people. Meanwhile, the Oregon income tax is already the highest in the nation. Meeting Chairman Arthur Marsh. Lookingglass. reported to the group concerning the "true picture" of the tax dollar spent in Douglas County. He said citizens had asked county school Supt. Kenneth F. Barneburg for the financial outline and learned that the 1955-56 budget dollar of the county was divided thusly: Schools 54 cents; roads 32 cents; cities 1U cents; court districts (water, rural fire, etc.) 2W cents. Marsh said slips in tax notices had read that 80 nor cent of the dollar went for follow-'schools and that had caused the 'citizens to make the request. Salmon Harbor Views Are Aired At Public Hearing! Conducted by Col. Jackson flra I ham, district engineer of the U.S. Lorps of hngineers, Portland, public hearing in Reedsnort Wed- nesday, aired the views of large number of persona and interests, about Salmon Harbor improve ments. Urging federal appropriations of more than half a million dollars for the continuation of the Winches ter Bay harbor development, in a five-step series of proposed im provements, construction totaling $534,900 in costs was advocated by the sponsors of the existing Salm on Harbor, the Port of Umpqua district, and Douglas County. The presentation was made in the form of a brief prepared by engineers Cornell, Howland, Hayes and Merryfield of Corvallis. It was supported by a large number of commercial and recreational fish ing interests, civic and mercantile bodies and others. Attending from Roseburg; were Charles Collins, Douglas County Parks Dept. supervisor, and mem- hers of the county court. Judge Carl Hill and Commissioner Frank Ashley. Thornton Rules Dams Being Built Illegally (Continued from Page One) specific starting and completion dates . . . ," Roach said. Roach ' said he had not seen Thornton's written opinion, hut added, "It has always been the policy of Idaho Power to comply with all pertinent Idaho and Ore gon statutes to such extent as may be possible without conflict or in consistency with Us rights and duties under its FPC license. In keeping with that policy the com- nnnu has onnli pot inn nn fit ft with the Oregon Hydroelectric Commis-1 sion, and a public hearing by thatium body was held in Baker. Ore Jan. 20." Thornton said Idaho Power sub mitted to Oregon jurisdiction in (hat application, but did not wait for a license before starting con struction. The Hydroelectric Com mission has not yet announced its decision on whether to grant a li cense. In that hearing attorney C. Cir ard Davidson, representing groups opposed to Idaho Power, called for the attorney general to prosecute the power firm for starting con struction without an Oregon li cense. Davidson, also a Democrat, is a former undersecretary of the De partment of Interior, and is a can didate for Oregon Democratic na tional committeeman. Portland General Electric offi cials withheld comment. They said they wanted to study Thornton s opinion first. The state Hydroelectric commis sion, and the state Fish and Game commissions opposed PGE's appli cation,, but the company won an FPC license. The state challenged in court and won in the Ninth Cir cuit Court of Appeals at San Fran cisco. The Supreme Court, 'how ever, in a 7-1 decision, ruled against the slate. Overturning Appeals Court de cision has aroused widespread op position in Western states. Some congressmen are proposing a law to assure states clear-cut jurisdic tion over waters within their boun daries. Thornton directed the district at torneys of Jefferson County, where the Pelton project is located, and Baker County, where the Hells Canyon and Hrownlee projects are located, to determine if construc tion has started. If so, prosecution should follow, Thornton said. The possible pen alty is a Si ,000 fine or six months in jail or both. 4-Point Program Given For Living By Speaker (Continued From Page One) impression where "individuality" is recognized will keep one from "wanting what others have" and "bring about an acceptance of our individual natures." The speaker observed on point three that living one day at a time can cultivate perspective. And that cultivating perspective "brings all the compartmentalized, things to gether and brings them on a higher level." Fourthly, he instructed that "we must come to the place where we realize that you and I are spiritual in nature, lliat you and l are part of a spiritual universe." He cited the purpose of a human bi'tnu's existence as the realization of the spiritual part of his na ture, lie saul that every human is mnerentiy drawn to nis ireatnr.

Douglas Eisenhower Presses Bid For Second Term (Continued from Page One; the duties of hii office in the light of his Sept. 24 heart attack. Their general attitude wt" nai tisen hower himself had raised the iaue by discussing his health in his broadcast Wednesday nigni. Cov. Averell Harriman of New j York, one of those figuring in spec ulation about the possible Demo cratic nominee, said the Presi dent's health certainly would be a campaign issue that Eisenhower "has made it a major issue." The possible COP Vice Presi dential Nominee GOP chairman Hall predicted will again be Eisennower'a running male. There has been recurrent talk that some elements in the Repub lican Party want to "jettison" Nix on. The COP Convention Eisenhow er signed statements permitting his name to be entered in the presi dential primaries to be held in Wis consin and California on April 3 and June 5, respectively. Laws of these two states require a candi date'! written consent. Eisenhow er's name al r e a d y has been entered in half a doren other states where no such consent is required. By all the signs, the delegates to the convention, to be held in San Francisco beginning Aug. 20, will be solidly Eisenhower. Hall was talking to a news con ference when he predicted Nixon will be the party's vice presidential nominee. Hall has favored Nixon all along. On the question of Eisenhower's health as a campaign issue, the GOP chairman said any "whisper ing campaign" is going to fail be cause "the American people know the President has insisted that every fact about his health be made Known as quicKiy as u is determined by the medical author ities." Hall said the Republicans con s i d e r e d in the 1944 campaign whether to make the late Presi dent Roosevelt's health an issue.
