The Foundation was organized
1J years ago by University and
community people “recognizing
there was much that might be
done on the non academic side to
give greater meaning to the inter
national experience,” Stern said
"On both sides there is a curi
o.sily about the country and the
culture of liie other and a desire
to present his own land and peo
ph in a true light ”
PLANS AltK bring made for a
proposed foreign student trio to
No them Oregon during spring
vacation. Stern said. Last year, a
bus load of students from 15 dif
ferent countries spent four days
during spring vacation visiting
schools, local industries, and see
in1 the sights in Southern Ore

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

Stockpiling...

pared ness programs ami produc

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.

creases are turned down, he will
first consider cutting back state
services and then take up the
question of a special session.

in a better position to judge the
trend of current revenues at the

announced where one-point seven
million doilars in cutbacks an
