Fire Chief Claims
Mac Court Danger
i Although McArthur Court
meets the city fire code, Fire
Chief Ed Surfus cited the buii
, ding ar, a “big worry” to fire de
partment officials in Eugene.
This statement came as the re
sult of an inquiry from city
| councilman C. F. Shearer con
cerning safety precautions taken
in Mac Court when it is occupied
by a large crowd. He also asked
about safety in the upper bal
, conies, installed last year.
"In our opinion, the building
Is not adequate for large crowds.
It is a big worry." stated Surfus
in hi« report. He was critical of
University compliance with city
fire codes when large crowds are
drawn to the arena. He said his
department has had to close the
doors on large numbers if people
who have already purchased tick
ets to events. Surfus stated that
the city department has seen that
aisles are kept open in most
! cases. He said, however, that he
has complained "time and tune
again" of the overselling of tick
I ets before the events.

Investigating Committees
Miss Issue, Says Oxnam
I
The Congressional investigating
committees have missed the
whole issue, Bishop G. Bromley
Oxnarn told a press conference
here Tuesday. They have con
centrated on exposing people, and
have made no effort to answer
communism in any way.
Commenting on his own ap
pearance before the House un
American activities committee,
Oxnam said, "It was clear that
the purpose of the committee was
not to get the facts, but to get
me."
This is an abus«i of the pur
pose of investigating committees,
he said. They have become courts
with the policy of smearing peo
ple, rather than agencies to in
vestigate the real problem of a
1 communist threat.

“We are moving slowly toward
world co-operation,” he said.
"Ultimately, we must have world
law and order.” Citing the rela
tionship of the states, he said
that eventually this feeling must
be raised to an international
; level.
"There must be a difference
somewhere between shooting ar
rows and dropping atomic
bombs,” Oxnam said. “Sooner ot*
later we must face the fact that
war itself is basically immoral.”
"There is no question of a re
surgence of religion in Amer
ica,” he said. “Church member
ship has increased from 5 percent
at the time of the American
Revolution to 57 percent today.
However, in the long run, it is
the quality, not the quantity of
religion which is important,” he
said. A religion based on a per
son's material success by be
coming a Christian is not enough.
The American people want an
swers to the questions of the na
' lure of man, and they are not
finding them in materialism.
