Library Eugene, Oregon ;orr Douglas Teachers Told Industry's Pressing Need For Educated Personnel Hope For 59 On Airliner Now Slim : P if Fa Die , By LAURA OLSON Staff Writer Newt-Roview Industry's need for educated per- r, . . i.i;rt sonnel and its methods of helping meet that need were spotlighted for some 800 educators in Roseburg Friday. A young teacher-turned educa tion representative for the Stand ard Oil Co. of California outlined his firm's lengthy history of edu cational interest. Ronald L. Hunt, 30, noted his company had spent nearly one million dollars helping education in 1955 and planned to in crease the amount 8 per cent this year. That money goes into a diversi fied pot: The 29-year-old Standard School Broadcast, teaching mater ials, scholarships, fellowships, grants-in-aid and research. Nation ally, industry will spend four mil lion dollars this year as an in vestment in education and the fu ture, he said! "We fully recognize the import ance of young people having the humanities," he said, ". . . (it is) why we in industry are vitally in terested in you." Knowledge, he contended, enables people to live together, noting that while dismis sals at Standard Oil are few, that eight of 10 persons who are let go Legislature Is Handcuffed In Raising Funds, States Oregon Tax Research Head BY BUD BODINE ' Staff Writer, News-Review "State and local fiscal policies, if badly planned and managed, can be one of the factors that will limit the growth and opportunities of the Northwest." With this statement William E. Bade, manager of Ore gon Tax Research, summed up his talk on the Oregon tax structure and its needs to a joint Chamber of Commerce Douglas County Taxpayers League luncheon Friday at the Hotel Umpqua. . i Bade explained to the group that " Fiftv.fi vp npr CAnt nf iho etnta'c Oregon's present fiscal policies, based on an income tax that yields 58 per cent of the state revenues, lack real stability and are vulner able to "the slightest change" in the economy. ' Jacklin Plans Liquidation Of Magazine Sales A Roseburg magazine dealer Fri day announced that he is liquidat ing his business because of "me thods of merchandising" forced onto distributors by publishers. Arlo Jacklin, owner of Jacklin News Agency, 1510 SE Hamilton St., said the business will be liqui dated by Nov. 1. He explained his reason for quit ting:, "Wholesalers require that distributors circulate blocks of magazines which the dsitributor may not feel are good for public display." The "methods of mer chandising," he said, "grow more restrictive each year." Jacklin said he has lost one pub- lisher's franchise because he re fused to distribute the company's magazine because of their content, Jacklin. who is the sole candi date for mayor of Roseburg, came here from Seattle to purchase the magazine distribution business. He said that he will enter "semi-retirement" and won't return to active business. In The Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Optimistic note in the news: Britain and Egypt are reported to have made conciliatory moves in private talks on the Suez canal dispute. (The talks are being held at United Nations headquarters in New York.) A diplomat at the U.N. says Egyptian Foreign Minister Fawzi has agreed that Egypt would be willing to co-operate in some re spects with the Suez canal users' association. He adds that Britain, in return, has dropped its insistence on international operation of the waterway. The moral: IT NEVER PAYS TO SHOOT UNTIL YOU HAVE EXHAUSTED ALL THE POSSIBILITIES OF TALKING. Food for thought: What if we'd had a hair-trigger administration in power when the Suez dispute arose? In that event, we'd BE AT WAR NOW. More food for thought: The General Federation of Wom en's Clubs it urging its 15,600 mem- (Continued on Page 4 CoL 1) The Weather Variable cloudiness throuqh Sun- day, slight chance of ihowtrs Sun- ity afternoon.

Classroom teach ers and administrators must do this continually, he said, "not only at bond election time." A member of the oil company's public rela tions department, Hunt would like to see a public relations person an accredited member of some school systems. "Industry has learned the child is the father of the man," the San Franciscan observed, "and is interested in the value of educa tion." He thinks America's school problem is almost a frontier ; in itself with its building needs and teacher shortage. Teachers can al leviate the latter by "selling teach ing" to children. He sees no rea son "why children can't take up the cudgel for more teachers, classrooms. The teacher shortage will seel'ciples agreed on Friday by Brit- broad new developments to meet the need and the speaker listed several: education television, (Continued on Page 2 Col. 4) ; expenditures come from programs adopted by the people at the polls." Bade said. "At the same time the Legislature is handcuffed in find ing ways to meet the costs." A small, well - organized group can tie up a tax before the Legis lature ever adjourns and take sev eral million dollars away from the state budget,' according to Bade. "Oregon is the only slate in the Union that denies the Legislature the right to place an emergency clause on a tax measure," Bade said. ' Opponents of the clause. Bade continued, offer these principal arguments against it: 1. It is the back door to a sales tax; the same people back both. 2. It would destroy each Oregon ian's right to have control of his tax problems. Bade said that the proposition is not designed for any specfic tax but for the overall state fiscal po licy. As to the individual's control over his taxes. Bade said Oregonians still elect the members of the Leg islature and that the initiative is still in the hands of the people who could take advantage of the months before the next general election to .gather the necessary signatures of 8 per cent of the voters to put the measure on the ballot. Bade also covered the local tax problem in regard to the many new tax districts being established in the slate and their potential taxing power. The unfortunate part of it, ac cording to Bade, is that the aver age citizen has still to understand the direct relationship between in creasing demands for government service and rising taxes. Bade was introduced by State Sen. Paul Geddes.

I Britain and France agreed Sat urday on a new Suez proposal which a British, spokesman said would include the controversial demand for international control of the vital waterway. Such a. provision is expected to meet vigorous opposition from Egypt and Russia and may pos sibly lead to a Soviet veto.

The 11-nation Security Council was scheduled to take it up late Saturday in an effort to wind up the current phase of the Suez Canal dicsussions. The new draft was hammered out in a two-hour meeting of British Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd, French Foreign Minister Christian Pineau and U.S. Secre tary of State Dulles. A U.S. spokesman said Dulles was in full accord with the resolution and would vote for it. The Council meeting, was de layed to permit Lloyd and Pineau to consult privately with other delegates in an attempt to line up support for their proposal. A British spokesman was asked specifically whether the new draft would call on the council to en dorse the London Users' Assn. proposal. "That's one thing you can be sure of," he replied. Sen.

Tuesday -to attend a meeting of the local gov. ernmental legislative interim com- ittee, which for the past year and a half has been making a study of the problems arising out of the concentration of population in su burban and the so-called "fringe areas" around the cities.

(Worren's Studio, Sutherlin) ROSEBURG- OREGON SATURDAY, Tanker Fleet Plans Reported By Eisenhower WASHINGTON I Government officials will begin preparing next week tentative long range plans for building a fleet of big tankers which could carry oil to the free world if access to the Suez Canal was cut off. Defense , Mobilizer Arthur S. Flemming announced yesterday after a While House call, that President Eisenhower had ordered this done. Flemming said the move did not stein from any critical turn in the situation caused by Egypt's seiz ure ot tne canal. But he said "we are trying to get ourselves in the position where we are not as de pendent on the Suez Canal as we are now." The defense mobilizer stressed this is a long range program. He said that after the plans are draft ed and studied by representatives of various federal agencies, a de cision will be made later on wheth er to go ahead with actual con struction. In response to questions, Flem ming said "it might well be" that about SO tankers would be needed. He said he could not estimate the cost of such a program, but he said a 60,000-ton tanker would cost about 18 million dollars. Flemming said if a decision is made to build the tankers, the work would be done at American shipyards under provisions of the Defense Production Act which al lows the government to guarantee to purchase any of the vessels not bought by private shipowners.

LONDON Lfl Search planes Saturday spotted what at first was believed to be two life rafts the Atlantic area where a giant American airliner vanished three days ago but one of the supposed rafta later proved to be a decomposed whale. The search plane's crews radioed they saw no sign of life on or near the objects in the ocean off Spain. The plane vanished Wednesday with 59 men aboard on a flight from England to the Azores on a return trip to the United States. An earner report naa saia tnere appeared to be a man on a raft.

One hundred search planes from three continents scoured the North Atlantic in one of the greatest searches in aviation history.- The raft report came from an area off Spain where planes had been sent to investigate weak SOS signals. The SOS signals were similar to those that would have been sounded by a hand-cranked radio in a rubber life raft. The transport, a military ver sion of the four-engine DCS civil ian airliner, vanished late Wednes day after sending out a routine ra dio message giving its position on a flight to. the United States via the Azores Islands.
