    Youth, 17, Held
On Murder Rap
OREGON CITY (AP)-Jeffrey
Edward German, 17, was charged
Monday with first degree murder
in the (laying of his grandfather
at the German home near Boring,
Ore., last Saturday. Arraignment
of the youth was scheduled today.
German had been held as a
juvenile. Circuit Judge P. K.
Hammond remanded him to face
trial as an adult for the fatal
shooting of Veatta Ralph Matters,
about 60.
Dist. Atly. Winston Bradshaw
then filed the murder charge in
district court.
Dist. Judge Howard J. Blanding
told the youth and lira. Violet
German, bis widowed mother,
that the court would appoint a
lawyer if they could not afford
one. He then continued the ar
raignment a day.
Before the shooting Uie grand
father had come from his Hood
River home for a visit. The boy's
grandmother, who had been di
vorced from Matters, lives next
door to Mrs, German, who had
two other sons and two daughters.
Clackamas County Sheriff Joe
Shobe said young German signed
two statements admitting the
shooting. A single 30-30 Title bullet
pierced Matters' head as he sat
outside the youth's bedroom fix
ine a clock.
German, who was on probation
from MacLaren School tor Hoys,
was held without bail in the coun
ty jail.
Matters was released in 1942
from San Ouentin Prison in Cali
fornia after serving 10 years for
incest-rape. Later he was sen
tenced to and served a term in
the Oregon State Prison for con
viction of "inoculating another
with a disease."
After Bradshaw filed the charge
the German youth rubbed his eyes
to conceal tears. His mother put
an arm around his rumpled, red
rayon shirt and said, "We're with
you all the way everyone."
Moderate Tone
Set By Herter
WASHINGTON (AIM Secretary
of State Christian A. Herter plans
to set a moderate tone for next
week's U. N. General Assembly
meeting with Soviet Premier Ni
kita Khrushchev in hopes the pre
mier will do the same.
But if Khrushchev chooses
rough talk, administration offi
cials said, this country will be
prepared to reply in kind to keep
the Soviets from gaining the prop
aganda advantage without chal
lenge. Herter has proposed that he ad
dress the General Assembly in ad
vance of Khrushchev, and offi
cials said that as a spokesman
for the host country Herter is like
lv lo win that spot. He would
speak on Sept, 22, a day ahead
of Khrushchev.
The White House cast doubt on
the possibility that President Ei
senhower would appear to speak
for this country. James C. Hag
erty, the presidential press secre
tary, cautioned newsmen to take
it easy on speculation that Eisen
hower might attend "until you get
some announcement."

U. Of 0. Prexy
Decision Due
SALEM (AP) A decision on the
new president of the University
of Oregon will be made in a month
or six weeks. Chancellor John R.
Richards told the state Board of
Higher Education Monday.
Dr. Richards said the number
of candidates to succeed Dr. 0.
Meredith Wilson, who has become
president of the University of
Minnesota, has been narrowed to
four.
The board's curriculum com
mittee approved a Portland Slate
College recommendation that a
graduate school of social work be
started at PSC in Sept. 1962.
The approval means only that
this is the best of several plans,
the committee making it clear
that it didn't want the legislature
to approve it at the expense of
existing programs.
Dr. Richards sam it ts oouoi-
ful the legislature would provide
enough funds for existing pro
grams, asserting, "We might have
to drop some of our present activities."
The school would provide two !
years of graduate training, work
ing, closely with welfare agencies.
it would cost au,uuu me iirsi
year, and $80,000 the second year.
The University of Oregon sub
mitted a plan that would cost
$25,000 a year.
The 1959 legislature oirecica me
board to submit a plan for such
a school in the hopes it would
provide more trained workers for
the state and county puduc wel
fare commissions.
Dr. William C. Jones, acting
president of the university, doubt
ed such a school would be needed.
He said the solution would be to
pay higher salaries to welfare
workers.
The board was told that one out
of five welfare workers in the
state has graduate training. The
nearest such school is at the Uni
versity of Washington.
Gov. Leroy Collins
informed the President that the
Florida keys, the central Dart of
the state and coastal regions, had
sustained extensive damage.
When Donna roared ashore near
Bridgeport, Conn., Monday after
