Although I am not a wrestling fan, I believe it will he very unfortunate if weekly wrestling matches must be dis continued )n Roseburp; because of lack of facilities. It has been announced that the Armory arena no longer is to be available to Matchmaker Elton Owen and that, un less some other arrangements are made, the match next Saturday will be the last in Roseburg. Owen tells The NewK-Rcvicw he has made thorough search to find other facilities but that none exist. He is extremely critical of National Guard officers for their eviction order, claiming his weekly rental to be ample and charging at the same time that he has been given inadequate service in such matters as heat for the building, hot water for baths, and janitor services. National Guard officials claim that the wrestling crowds cause much damage to the building, particularly the auditorium floor: that cleaning up after the matches is a hard and expensive job; that with cooler weather the Ar mory will' be more in demand for National Guard activities and that these activities are restricted by the wrestling matches and the space occupied by stored equipment, etc. Sports Program Needed While Owens charges that the Armory custodians are . trying to "gouge" him for more money, when he already is paying a high rental, the National Guard officers say they don't want the wrestling matches in the building at any price. , It hecomes quite evident that personal animosities have generated during negotiations and are influencing state ments and decisions. A statement by a National Guard representative, that he does not believe wrestling to be in the public interest, is open to question, in my opinion. He is, of course, en titled to his views. But I believe the weekly wrestling matches provide a valuable addition to the city's sports program. Roseburg as the county seat also should be the county's recreational center, in my opinion. Roseburg still is lacking in recreational facilities. Many people are wres tling fans and look forward to the weekly programs.. The fall and winter season Tlraws the largest crowds, and it is just at the start of the profitable season that the hassle over use of the Armory arena arises. s The National Guard representative also said that the building is the property of the State of Oregon and that the Slate is not in the rental business. Technically that state, merit cannot be contradicted. But older residents will re call that when the Armory was built there was an under standing it would be a semi-public structure and available for community activities. This policy was not questioned until late years particularly since the city s growth has added to the demands for auditorium space. w wm j mm . , TESII fK (WMMi NEA Service, Inc. 1 Ii I Multnomah Deputies n tl Raid Portland Club (Janice (J3ioS5al j Public Building Required I believe some plan to continue wrestling at the Armory arena, at least temporarily, should be worked out, if pos sible. It probably would be difficult for the principals per sonally to reach an agreement at this time. Perhaps, if the Boxing Commission would act as intermediary, the two principals would agree to accept the findings of a board of arbitration, each side to appoint a representative and these two to select a third. This board could determine whether the rental charge is or is not ample, what action can be taken to stop crowd damage, what services should be pro vided, etc., or whether the wrestling matches should be barred from the building entirely. When it becomes necessary to build facilities into which to move the wrestling matches, planning and construction require several months. The time limit given prior to eviction from the Armory has not been sufficient to arrange a new structure, and it is obvious that other facilities in the Roseburg area are lacking. If continued use of the Ar mory could be arranged for approximately one year, it might be possible that some way could be found in the meantime to finance a building at the new city park being established ad jacent to the Veterans Facility. Perhaps the American Legion Post, which is .seriously considering a vet erans building, could be interested in including an arena to be used by the Pal Club, Y.M.C.A., and other groups, as well as for weekly wrestling matches, with rentals to be applied to construction costs. Some outside financial help would be needed but, given time, perhaps the Legion or some other organization could be interested in constructing suitable public recreational facilities. One of the little ironies of the Suez crisis is that the technical difficulties of navigating the canal are so great that they inevitably temper even the over-weaning am bitions of Eyptian President Nas ser.' He has the canal, but not the means to operate it. And that com pelling fact is what put him in a mood to compromise. As has often been noted, the pilots who guide ships through Suez are the crux of the technical problem. Without their highly de veloped skills, the canal is a treach erous waterway that ships will not try to negotiate. The Suez canal company, trom which Nasser seized the canal, not too long ago invited ship captains of many maritime nations to take their vessels through witnout pi lot assistance. There were no tak ers. Ship companies couldn't get insurance. PICTURES of vessels passing through Suez usually give a de ceptive impression that it's an easy passage, it is anything hut tnat. At many points the canal bottom is no more than 180 feet wide, lis sides slope outward to give broad er width at the surface (minimum 500 feet), but the bottom width is crucial. To be off course one de gree can mean running aground. The enforced speed limit in lhe canal is seven miles per hour. Even at this speed, a ship can't be halted in less than half a mile. Over its 105-mile span the water way has 12 major curves, so tricky to master because of powerful cur rents that in some spots the helms man steers left to go right. From the Mediterranean southward, the ships encounter high winds, often accompanied by blinding sand storms, in the first half of the passage. Today about 200 pilots, heavily overworked, take ships through. Of the total some 50 are hgyplian. in I Mat EoJe training stages. There are many British and French pilots, and; some 10 other countries are repre sented. Standard procedure has required pilot applicants to have at least 10 years of effective navigational ex perience on the high seas. Qualified men thereafter spend two years guiding craft through the wide Fort Said roadstead on the ap proaches to the canal proper. Next, two months of studying the canal itself as a "second man" to the active pilot, and then two months of trial piloting. If all tests are passed, the trainee is ready. But his beginnings are on tne smaller vessels. Only after eight to 10 years of piloting through Suez does he command the rank that puts him on the biggest vessels. THIS Is the situation into which Nasser has plunged his clumsy foot. Any substantial loss of exper ienced foreign pilots, particularly those in the upper ranks, would gravely cripple waterway opera tions. Splashing advertisements for pi lots in newspapers around the world, as Nasser is doing, will not bail him out. either. All such pilots will of necessity have to undergo long and rigorous training before they can dare to guide ships through tricky Suez. mere are some things that even a dictator can't do anything about. PORTLAND lifl Sheriff's dep: uties, who normally operate out side the city limits, moved into Portland Tuesday night in a raid that resulted in three arrests and seizure of what deputies said was $10,000 cash, plus gambling equip ment and liquor. The three were arrested on gambling charges. Deputies said they were employes of the raided establishment at 1461 N. Williams Ave. Roma Ollson, who said he oper ates a nearby club that had been raided recently by city police, signed the complaint that led to the raid. He said he had com plained earlier to city police, but no action resulted. The owner of the building is list ed as Tom Johnson, recently in dicted on conspiracy and attempt ed bribery charges by a grand jury that investigated vice in Portland) ' w RECEPTION.

Eisenhower Admonishes Republican Leaders To Take Message To Every Person By JACk BELL GETTYSBURG, Pa. i Presi dent Eisenhower called on Repub- eluding about 30 still in the earliest lican leaders Wednesday for a new KefauverToMake Six-City Swing Into Oregon Sept. 21 By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Sen. Kstes Kefauver will make a six-city swing into Oregon on Friday. Sept 21. one day earlier than originally expected. His tentative schedule, an nounced late Tuesday by Robert Hoyer, lemocratic state chair man, and C.

However Nix on s schedule thus far limits his ued, "that only a Democratic ad ministration can protect the small businessman of the nation." Ellsworth followed up an ex change with Morse on the ques tion of Green Peter Dam support by saying Morse had falsely ac cused him of "attempting to scut tle" the project. He said Morse and Sen. Neuberger should either "refute my statements ... or cease their opposition" to the Green Peter partnership bill of fered by Ellsworth. Neuberger in turn said that In terior Secretary Seaton, here last ! fair, crusade which would carry the GOP message to "the last man, the last woman," in every block. In a talk prepared for a picnic rally on his farm here. Eisenhow er said the Republicans must count no state or district out if they expect to win the November election. Above all, the President admon ished the Republican workers to go into the campaign with "a grin on your face." "Don't underestimate the value of a grin," Eisenhower said. "Pessimism never won a battle." The Republican National Com mittee transported around 500 par ty leaders from all sections of the country from Washington to the President's farm for the picnic. It was held under a large revival meeting type lent pitched in a meadow. Eisenhower himself motored here from Washington for the af- abandoning earlier plans to fly when fog was reported on the route.

' "It is clear to me,' those institutions should adopt re quirements that would KEEP OUT STUDENTS WHO CAN'T DO COL LEGE WORK. He said Oregon high schools have been warned that such restrictions might go into ef fect a year from now. Let's discuss these proposals in the order in which they were pre sented. The iunior college system is an adaptation to higher education of he iunior high school system which is already rather widespread in Oregon. It takes in the last two years of high school and the first two years of college just as the junior hign scnool system lases in lhe last two years of the grades and the first two years of high school. It tends to bring higher education closer to the average student, as junior colleges spread into more areas, more young people are en abled to attend them without going away from home. As time passes and the system spreads, this will tend to relieve the pressure on our already over crowded colleges and universities. The teacher shortage is admit tedly acule in Oregon and else where. This shortage is general ly attributed to teacher pay, which is admittedly low in comparison with other professions, or even the skilled trades. But There are other shortages. There are shortages rather acute of managers. There are biting shortages of engineers and scientists. These shortages are be coming so serious that our deeper thinkers are beginning to fear that if the situation remains unchanged RUSSIA MAY PASS US in the no; too distant future in scientific and technological progress. These shortages can hardly be blamed on inadequate pay. for engineers and scientists and the upper echelons of management are relatively high up on the pay lad der. Do you suppose it could be that too few of our people are willing in these days to PAY THE PRICE OF LEADERSHIP? Now for Chancellor Richards' suggestion that the administrators of Oregon's state schools may adopt at not too distant a date- requirements that will keep out students who can't do college work. It is admittedly a radical one in our country. But many competent observers are Deginning to believe that by and large educated Eu ropeans lend to be better educated than Americans. In Europe the col leges and the universities tend to be maintained for the benefit of those who can meet the high stand ards demanded of those who want to go to college. I think we'll all have to admit that their joint meeting in Salem the members of the Oregon state board of education and the Oregon state board of higher education have been tackling some tough but highly important problems. i:.L.. kA..cko Id cleaning likt.
