They were unhurt. Tyrrell G. Lowry, 22, a senior from Portland, and Richard D. Gilbert Jr., 20, a junior, also from j Portland, missed a turn without being aware of it while coming down the peak Wednesday aft ernoon. They told rescuers that they continued down past the snow line to open timber, built a fire \ and spent the night beside it. \ When dawn came, they retraced their steps to the top of the peak, knowing that in good weather they could find their way down it. When they got to the top at midmorning, there were a dozen of their fraternity brothers from Sigma Alpha Epsilon to greet them. Lowry, in good shape, skied down to where sheriff’s deputies waited near where the missing skiers had parked their car. forested In their 19.r>.r> Loop Course Feb. 4. General Petroleum Corporation.

Defense Line State Threat CHICAGO (AP) — Senator K nowland (R-Calif.) said Thurs day this nation's failure to take a stand In the Pacific if the Reds take over all of Asia could mean “moving- our line of defense back to Oregon." Knowland, senate minority leader, has differed with Presi dent Eisenhower concerning Asian plans. In Chicago for a speaking en gagement, the California Repub lican told a news conference, “the spread of Communism in Asia is the challenge to the United States." He said he thinks the Eisen hower administration has been taking steps to stop the spread of Communism In Asia, but that “the time Is not too far distant when we've got to make a deci sion on a line in the Pacific where we'll have to make a stand. "If not. and if the Reds take over all of Asia, it means moving our line of defense back to Ore gon." Knowland, asked about a ceasefire between the Chinese Reds and Nationalists, said he believed “that either of them would agree to it." “And even if they did, it wouldn’t mean a thing to the Reds because they've constantly violated the armistice in Korea by holding American men, build ing up airstrips and building up their fire power." The Requests (Continued from page one) sources in naval protection and transport facilities to make such a regrouping possible. President Kisenhower at his news conference Wednesday min imized the importance of Yi kiangshan, the island the Reds boast of having captured. He also took the position that the Tachens were not essential to the defense of Formosa and the Pes cadores. However, he said the Tachens were a different proposition from Yikiangshan. He said the Tachens were occupied by a division of troops. They are of value as an observation outpost, he said. In connection l)0th with any necessary regrouping or evacua tion, the meeting at the State Department quickly got into the question of the President's con stitutional powers to make use of American forces. The 7th Fleet was originally put into the For mosa Strait at the start of the Korean War as a means of pro tecting the southern flank of American military positions in Japan and Southern Korea. With the Korean War long since ended, whatever emergency powers former President Truman acted under are regarded by Sec retary Dulles as obsolete. Dulles has said, however, that he be lieves the recently signed defense treaty with Formosa, now up for Senate approval, would con tinue the President's authority to keep the fleet on patrol. Prompt senate ratification of the Formosa defense treaty was also urged Thursday by the sec retary of state. He told Congres sional leaders it would remove any doubt from Chinese Commu nist minds about this country's determination to defend the island. Southern Whites Depend On Negro, NAACP Says By Mary Alice Allen Emarcld A»»i»»*nt N*w> Editor The white population of the Kouth is extremely dependent on the cultural contributions to its society by the American Negro, Theodore B. Johannis, Instructor in sociology, told an NAACP forum audience Thuraday night. Johannia was one of three members of a panel, discussing the contributions of three culture groups to present American life. | Other members of the panel were ! Homer G. Barnett, professor of . anthropology, who spoke on the American Indian and Sylvan I Karehmer, assistant professor of Kngliah, who discussed Jewish contributions to American litera ture. Joel V. Berreman, professor I of sociology was panel moderat i or. Discussing the current contri butions of the Negro to our cul ture, Johannis outlined the south ern Negro's main furtherance of I culture as being in the fields of economics, politics, religion, mu- i sic, folklore, and in the estab lishment of values systems and ■ in the socialization process of southern children. Economically, the southern Ne gro has contributed mostly in the fields of domestic service and manual labor, Johannis said. This working group is "the largest po tential untapped market in the country today,” he remarked and “if we were to raise the standard of living for negroes to the aver age level of our own,’* the buying j potential would be enormous. j Politically, the southern Negro j has no direct voice in govern mental affairs, Johannis believes, "rather they are a pawn for the white group." However, this is changing as Negroes become more educated, Johannis said. Johannis mentioned socializa- j tion of white children by Negro! servants as in the case of the tra ditional Negro "mammy” who has been an integral part of U.S. southern life for many years. “She” has had great influence in the growth and development of her white charges. In the field of music, Johannis! cited the development of Ameri- ! can classic jazz as the Negro s chief contribution. He also cited the Negro folklore and its rela tionship to their music and its influence on the whites. “Some of the contributions of Negroes, as in the case of values, have been rather indirect, nega tive influences by the white people,” Johannis stated. Speaking on the contributions of the American Indian to our culture, Barnett said that these contributions have been mainly material, rather than in the area of thought. He listed such things as vegetable products and their derivatives, medicines, arts and crafts, folklore, and language. He said the present government policy of not confining Indians to reservations which previously has made them dependent on the government, would have a diffus ing effect upon Indian culture and would destroy portions of it. Karchmer in discussing Jewish contributions to our literature, pointed out the wide range of differences in the types of novels, poetry, and drama written by Jewish authors today. He cited Edna Ferber, Ben Hecht, Ken neth Fearing, Dorothy Parker, Louis Untermeyer, Moss Hart, and Arthur Miller, and Norman Mailer, as writers whose works span a wide topical scope. A Campus-to-Career Case History I I Jim 0 Hara (left) works out a problem with a member of his crew , His territory: TWO CITY BLOCKS James O’Hara. Stevens Institute of Tech nology (M.E. 51 ),is an installation fore man for the New \ ork Telephone Company. His present assignment is two city blocks between 45th and 47th Streets in the middle of Manhattan. • • • 44It doesn't measure very big horizon tally,” Jim says.44But vertically it makes up a lot of telephone business —7500 telephones to be exact. My eight-man crew does everything from installing a single telephone to working on complete dial intercom systems for some of the nation's biggest businesses. 44I’ve got to know about each of these jobs that my men do. My training with the telephone company took me through the installation, repair and testing of the various types of telephone equipment and service for which I am responsible. I even had a chance to do a little experi menting of my own and developed a new way of preventing oil seepage on auto matic switching equipment. I under stand it’s being written up for use throughout the Bell System. 44That’s what I like about telephone work. Even two city blocks are full of opportunity.” lou it find tna! most oilier college men with the tele phone company are just as enthusiastic about their jolts.
