State Research Center Study Important
The IVrUiiud City Club has jusl re
Iciisi'd a rvixnt cm n research cculer for
tlm state, but the tvHHt hat h serious
limitation.
It tins called fi'f what amounts to h
(Iwtonil study development nt rortlnnd
Stat Collide. It scouts to emphasize the
need to briiiK lSC tip to t he university
level.
Judirintr from tlie report, the need for
such a full-fledged university is there, but
hiiv post-Ki-iuliiute center set up nt the
university shouldn't be traveling under
the guise of a stute-wido research center.
This seems to lie the direction of the
effort. It specifies the importance of a
university to the economic health of ft
community and cites need for it gradu
ate school and institute of advanced stud
ies. Probably Portland State should get a
graduate school, but an advanced re
search center shouldn't bo tied to this
single school. It should be a research cen
ter for the entire state, available to the
higher education 'iiRiitutions, as well as
industry.
The slate is already making studies of
what it calls an Oregon Cooperative Cen
ter for Graduate Kducntion and Advanc
ed Research to bo supported by both pub-'
lie and private colleges and universities
and private industries. Not only would it
be financed by them but it would serve
them as well.
ThiR state program is already in its
third phuse of study and needs state
wide support when the time for establish
ing the institute is reached. It probably
will not got that support if it is tied to a
rapidly growing college just out of its
swaddling clothes.
The city club does a good job of em
phasizing a need for such a research cen
ter in tho state. After an introduction, it
nsks tho question: "How can we develop
new industries that will strengthen the
economy and provide a solid bnsis for
expansion in the years ahead?
It points out that the past decade has
made it clear that the two big industries,
timber and agriculture, "arc far from
able to bring similar growth in our sec
ond century."
It notes a decline in the number of
Jobs made possible by timber and agri
culture. It says that the rate of growth
from 1946 to 1955 was among the five low
est in the United Statcs.A comparison of
the last three years with the base period
of 19-I7-49 shows the rate of growth lagged
almost 30 per cent behind that of the na
tion as a whole.
The report notes that Oregon's dis
tance from mass markets is an example
of the kind of limitation on the type of
industry which would thrive with a loca
tion in the state. But at the same time,
"Oregon's greatest industrial potential
lies in exploiting this slate's 'liveability',
high productivity of labor, educational ad
vantages and similar features supporting
production of high value items of rela
tively small size and weight.
"In the fast-growing, but highly' tech
nical, defense industry and related re
search and development, Oregon has fal
len far behind. Our state has 1 per cent
of the total U. S. population, yet it has
received only one-tenth of 1 per cent of
federal defense contracts," it says.
It concludes that the reason could very
likely be that Oregon lucks higher edu
cational facilities required by scientists
and engineers.
We agree, but we feel the entire state
should be a part of establishing such a
research center. Gov. Hatfield has recog
nized the apparent need and has long
since put a study into operation. The Port
land City Club's plan would draw only
limited support and would open the old
breach between the big city and the out
statcrs. The club's efforts to discover new
ways of making our state better should
be welcomed, but they shoidd be consid
ered in relation to the study now under
way by the governor's group.

Dr. Earle B. Stewart Played
Key Role In Getting VA Here
One of the persons most responsible for tho fact that
Rosebtirg was brought out of its doldrums by being selected
as a site for the Veterans Administration Hospital, more
than 30 years ago, is one of the city's best-loved citizens,
Dr. Earlo B. Stewart.
While many people had a part in the selection, Dr. Stew
art, without question, was the one who contributed most.
He was in a position of great influence, through the Ameri
can Legion, and was able to niaka direct and favorable con
tact with the Veterans Administration and with congression
al loaders.
Dr. Stewart started his coreor
in (ilondale, later moving to Rosc
burif as a partner in the medical
firm of Selhcr, Seely and Stewart.
One of his curliest experiences
was one he has never forgotten
and one he loves to recall.
Bill Bradley, a colorful figure of
the early days on the upper Ump
qua, was found crillcally Injured.
He had been trampled by horses In
a corral.
Perry Wright, who as a young
nun had taken a homestead in
the Caps Illahee country, came to
Hoseburg during a period of storm
seeking help. The river was run
ning full, as a result of flood, hut
had to be forded. Wright made the
dangerous trip to Hoseburg. Stew
art agreed to attempt the return
with him to what since has be
come known n.i Bradley Klats.
The men of the party risked
their lives time after time. They
finally reached the cabin and the
injured man. Hut his injuries prov
ed fatal and ho was buried near
ho met with congressional commit
tees and individuals,
Stewart went back to Washing
ton February 7, lffill, this time ac
companied by Hill Harding, the
latter armed with all sorts of sta
tistical material. The two men re
mained in Washington until mid
March. Much red tape, a great amount
of politics, a battle between com
munities, federal inspections and
other factors were to intervene be
fore final selection. But one of
the "solid" parts of the campaign
was the stand of the American Le
gion which threw its no small
weight behind the Hoseburg appli
cation. Dr. Stewart, without ques
tion, had much to do with this firm
stand of Oregon's American Legion
posts.
Several years later the Veterans
Administration was to declare sur
plus a large section of the 475-
aere reservation, the city of Rose
burg, through the efforts of then

By ROBERT C. RUARK
Like the Stanislavsky acting
method says, you got to suffer for
your art, and I suro do hope Bobby
Kennedy hasn't seen the piece
about how the management boys
in Russia are curing fheir writers
of social irresponsibility. Talk
about news management whonce!
I see by my bootlegged copy of
Pravda that Ceorgi Markov, sec
retary of the Moscow Writers Un
ion, says that is is a lack of work
ing background which has caused
the Young Turks of the Soviet
scribble trade to make the idclogi
cal errors which has struck more
than ono literary nose in the gov
ernmental crack. Young rebels like
Yevgeny Ycvtushcnko, Andrei V'32
nesensky and Vasily Aksyonov
have been shooting off their faces
and their pens lately, and Moscow
is playing heavy critic.
Tile fault, says Secretary Mar
kov, is based on the fact that tho
angry young men haven't toted dat
bale sufficiently to learn about
life, which is what makes a writer
a writer. So the management gen
tlemen have rectified that in a
niarvelously practical manner. j
Writer Disappears
The writer Yevtushcnko, who
made the serious mistake of speak
ing freely to the capitalist press,
and whose unauthorized "Precoci
ous Biography" was smuggled out
of Russia to be published by a
Paris newspaper, ain't been heard
from recently, H is assumed that
he is studying up on life down in
a hole somewhere.
Mr. Markov revealed in his lit
tle message that Vozncscnsky is
learning about life by "spending a
large part of his time" at indus
trial plants somewhere in the Vlad
imir area, northeast of Moscow.
Mr. Aksyonov, who has been
charged with misrepresenting the
life and character of Ihe Soviet
younger people a kind of Scott
Fitzgerald of the Nyet Set is
going to Siberia for his research
chores in the way real people livee
Mr. Aksyonov presumably is head
ing for Siberia to study the part
young people are playing in indus
trial construction. This is known,
in some portions of southern Amer
ica, as being sent to the roads, or
working for the state, and has pro
duced some remarkable chain
gang laments.
His rhelorie well in hand, Mr.
Markov, the bull goose of the or
ganized writers, was quoted: "11
is to be hoped, too, that Yevtu-
Red Internal Strifes
Aired By Hearst Jr.
STANFORD. Calif. (CPU -William
Randolph Hearst Jr . editor
in chief of Hearst Newspapers,
has warned against premature
conclusions about the split be
tween Soviet Russia and Com
munist China.
Hearst told a meeting of the
Foreign Policy Institute at Stan
ford recently that 'there is no end
in sight yet to this bitter argu
ment.. For the Vnitcd States to
leap to any conclusion on the
evidence atailablc at this time
would be foolhardy and possibly
self-defeating."
The editor referred to Nikita
Khrushchev ami Chinese Com
munist leader Mao TseTung as
"two elderly hardheads " The edi
tor added "don't bet against
Khrushchev. These are my final
words of advice "
Hearst was kevnote speaker at
(he three day institute which is
examining the Russia China ideo
logical conflict. -
shenko will draw conclusions from
his bitter mistakes. No matter how
highly the works of young writers
may be praised, all must under
stand that early professionalism is
harmful and there is no better
school for a writer, even an experi
enced one, than the school of life."
Theory Approved
Clang!
I am 101) per cent in accord
with portions of Mr. Markov's the
ory, hut I think the experience
should come before the man starts
writing, not after. In my own case,
I spent a lot of time running er
rands on newspapers, working for
the WPA, going to sea, going to
war, and hanging around low dives
where alcholic beverages were
served before 1 touched pen to
paper. If during my early Jo
seph Conrad stage at sea sweep
ing up sheep manure, sulphur, and i
phosphate rock had been allowable
as credits on the literary experi
ence course, I would have won the
Nobel Prize at the age of 21.
But I don't think it Is fair to take
a gently reared youth like, say
Truman Capute, who wrote his
first sonnet with a moist pacifier
on his nurse's shirt front at the
age of two, and fling him into a
Georgia chain gang to gain experi
ence after he has written "Break
fast at Tiffany's." Nor do I think
it would be completely cricket to
sentence Tennessee Williams to a
stretch with the Peace Corps in
order to rid him of a mother fix
ation. They might try washing his
mouth out with soap, however.
Thought Helpful
Certainly, yours truly is too old
to learn about life for the crime
of questioning the dubious doings
of our leaders in Washington, and
f should not like to be shipped off
to Harvard, for instance, to learn
about life as it is lived in Wash
ington. There is a grain of helpful
thought, however, in Secretary
Markov's message. It might be
useful if some members of the
Cabinet and Senate, such as Bobby
and Teddy, put in an apprentice
ship in the courts of law to learn
about life before they start to tink
er with the larger laws of the land.

WASHINGTON (UPI) - Almost
everywhere you look nowadays
you find people exchanging "Tom
swmies. '
For the benefit of the fortunate
few who have been kept in the
dark about this thus far, I shall
now attempt to explain what
"Tom Swifties" are.
A "Tom Swiftie" is a type of
pun. Its roots lie in the Tom Swift
adventure books that boys used
to read about four decades ago.
it you recall these books, vou
may remember that Tom and his
companions spoke in adverbs. Vir
tually everything they said was
said adverbally. A typical bit of
dialogue might go something like
mis:
Don't worry, chaps, I'll find a
way out," Tom said calmly.
"We're with vou. Tom." the
others said trustingly.
iow, if you make a quotation of
your own and apply the adverb in
such a way that it forms a pun,
you've got a "Tom Swiftie."
For example, my wife and I had
a "Tom Swiftie" conversation at
the breakfast table this morning.
"What's the matter with this
coffee?" I asked bitterly.
"You forgot to put sugar in it,"
she replied sweetly.
"It still doesn't taste right," 1
said blackly.
"Try putting cream in it," she
muttered thickly
"There's something else wrong,"
I said coldly.
"Maybe you didn't plug in the
percolator," she said heatedly.
One of our local "Tom Swiftie"
experts, Jerry Doolitlle of the
Washington Post, recently com
piled a list that included:'
"Where could that arrow have
landed?" he remarked aimlessly.
An experienced "Tom Swifties"
player would immediately respond
to that with one of his own, like:
"It's in my back," she screamed
piercingly.
Or: "It's in my fool," he said
pointedly.
Once you get the hang of it.
you can make "Tom Swifties" fit
almost any situation, such as this
recent piece of news:
"I'm getting married again,"
Gov. Rockefeller announced hap
pily. "To whom?" asked Prince Rain
ier gracefully.
Astronaut Gordon Cooper's re
cent flight opened up many ave
nues for "Tom Swifties" addicts.
"Everything is A-OK," NASA
reported initially.
President Kennedy's legislative
program likewise offers a fertile
field for "Tom Swifties."
"Get busy on my tax bill,'? he
told Congress cuttingly. ' '- '
"But medicare was one of my
I campaign promises," the Presi
dent pleaded brokenly.
! If this fad follows the usual pat
tern, the next step will be for
I someone to bring out a "Tom
Swifties" coloring book.
CANCELS APPEARANCE
PARIS (UPI) Composer Igor
Stravinsky has canceled - a
planned appearance in Bergen,
Norway, because he is "tired," a
spokesman said here Monday.
He said a doctor advised the
80-year-old composer not to at
tempt the trip, which involved
changing planes at both Copen
hagen and Oslo.
Stravinsky arrived in Paris last
Thursday after conducting a con
cert in Zagreb, Yugoslavia. He is
scheduled to appear in London,
Hamburg and Milan before re-
i turning home to Los Angeles.
