"As our life becomes steadily more complex, new pests arise that have to be given attention. That's ' what these experimental stations do. But the increasing demand and need for this service are reasons all the more for us to make certain the operations are efficient." The state system's budget request, f 9,834,1 11, for the 1941-43 biennium, cnt to $9, - 413,110.86 by the state budget : office, was not "pnffed" In the - expectation that reductions . would be made, but rather rep- - resented only actual needs, WUlard Jm Marks, chairman of the state board of higher ed ucation' declared In outlining the system's case. He maintained that such in- - creases as were asked were for essentials such as repair and re- ' placement of equipment and buildings and not for faculty, in creases. -- ; - .-. ; . - "We are outlining what we be lieve to be our actual needs," . Marks said after the meeting. "The .final decision is up to the legislature, and we will make the best use of the funds it al lows." Chancellor F. M. Hunter, Mac Hoke and Edgar Smith, other hoard members, Dr. Charles D. , Byrne, secretary of the system, , and Richard Collins, statistician, also addressed the committee. The board's expenditures for the 2 H -year period ending next June 30 are estimated at 910, 882,031. Higher education revenues for the two-year, 1941-43, period are t estimated in the executive budget at 19,788,350, of which 1829,864 would be subject to legislative ap . propriation, $4,589,953 would be derived from the millage tax and the balance secured from other -sources.

"We are just about all through with the search in the Grays har bor area, and planes have pretty well covered the mountain region around Randle," said Col. Walter Pack, chief of operations, Friday evening. "The state of Washington has been combed thoroughly," said. Jhe colonel, "and we are pulling out for Medford and southern Oregon. As far as we can see, everything indicates he (the lost pilot) got through to Oregon, There are a lot of reports coming out of Med ford, but that country is terrible and the weather is worse, right now, at least. Four feet of snow has fallen in the Oregon moun tains in the last three days." "The plain truth of the matter is," added Col. Peck, "if we don't find the plane in the next week or two, we will be forced to call off the search until next spring. We can't be constantly endangering our pilots by making them fly over the mountains .in bad wea ther when the lost plane might be covered with snow anyway."

Still in Danger Full Picture Is Clouded but Return of Order : Aids Nazi Cause (By the Associated Press) A peace of sorts returned Fri day to Bucharest after four days of rebellion by the Iron guard there and in other sections of Rumania, and troops were sent out to hunt down Vice Premier Horia Sima, the leader of that extremist organization. The government of General Ion Antonescu. an articulate ad mirer of the axis, apparently had won through a great crisis, but it was not yet wholly out of dan ger.' The capital was free of vio lence but it seemed likely that some fighting still was going on in the provinces.

Belated details of the Kun outbreak drew a pictare of four days of terror; of heavy firing in the barricaded streets of Bucharest; of many deaths; of the summary execution of Jews In the basements of their own homes. Had It lasted two -or three more days, said veter an General George Begelescn, Rumania "would have been re duced to the fate of Poland. General Antonescu talked ef "communist influence" aa a fac tor in the revolt; hex sir ess ed that he was "a friend of tho axis." Sims, in ordering his followers to end the rebellion, . took - the same tone: the resultant blood shed, he said, did not "serve the Interest of the axis . . .
