Rescuers Find
Lost OSC Skiers
CORVALLIS IAP)-Two Ore

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.

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

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.

TWO CITY BLOCKS
James O’Hara. Stevens Institute of Tech
nology (M.E. 51 ),is an installation fore

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. If you'd Ite interested in a similar opportunity
