Stern said the greatest chal lenge of the Foundation is to “recognize new needs of the for eign students,” the most serious difficulty, "in accenting our own limits, such as financial and in housing,” and the greatest satis faction, ‘in providing the context for long range friendship that arc not bound by oceans or con tinents.” Stockpiling... fContinual frnm page I) pared ness programs ami produc tion capacity beyond the levels needed to meet the civilian de mand, and to reduce time re quired for full mobilization in event of attack on the United States (2) to keep purchases under the Critical Materials Stockpiling Act from invading material quan titles needed by current industri al demands. FLEMMING also considered the critical periods that the Uni ted States has found itself in dur ing the beginning of the last two conflicts, when critical substances nave been absent in adequate amounts. At these times it was most difficult to divert scarce ma chinery, equipment, manpower, and armed forces to obtain these materials. On the question of excess stock piling ol nickel by the United State government—for which the Hanna Nickel Smelting Co has been sued for $1,564,811—Flem ming stated that lie had asked Dr. John Townsend to make a study ot seriousness in the nickel situa tion, and to make appropriate recommendations to solve it Dur ing the years 1955 57 he said, nic kel was quite scarce, ami. Town send advised the Government to increase its supply of wartime and peacetime requirements. FOLLOWING the receipt of this report, Flemming started dis cussions on the desirability of in creasing the supply of other stra tegic materials, among them lead. To this period, Flemming said he war given conflicting advise on the advisability of such a pro gram Various amounts were al located for military requirements, with many exceeding defense or ders. "HERE WAS A case," he said, "where responsible persons had differing views as to the desira bility ol setting a higher figure. 1 decided to use the higher figure because of my belief that *t con stituted a more realistic reflec tion ol our actual defense peeds.” 11c added that. "No one in the Defense Deoartment was able lo give me a satisfactory' explanation for this gap between estimates and orders.” AS A RESULT, Flemming de cided to base his new expansion program around the military re quirements. instead of previous estimates. Subsequently, an ex pansion ensued, from the original amount of 300 million tons of lead to 440 million tons. Flemming was also against the proposals ol the military heads to reduce the amounts of critical i materials in 1956. “President Eis ; enhower concurred in this recom mendation,” Flemming said, add ing that the policy "remained in effect a year or two after he left office.” IN ANSWER to the rubber j stockpile problem, Flemming said i he was strongly influenced by ad ! vice from the State Department that the sale would have had ad verse affects on foreign relations with Asian and African countries. He acknowledged that a 1956 memorandum from C. F. Ogden, one ol his aides, suggested that it would be no easier to sell sur plus rubber two, three or five ! years later than it was at that time. PRESIDENT Flemming is ex pected to return to Eugene by Wednesday evening, after finish ing his testimony.

Hatfield Considers Special Session SALEM (UPI) Governor Mark Hatfield told a news conference in Salem Monday he will consider the possibility of calling a special session ol the Legislature if vot ers reject tax increases expected to he passed in this session. Hatfield made the comment after he was asked if he agrees with House Speaker Clarence Bar ton that cutbacks may have to be made in basic school support.
