Af ter the affaire Nixon, this is just a tempest in a thimble, f The civil service law exempts those in academic service, but the . state civil service office thinks higher education has been passing out academic titles too freely, like - making a cowhand a, professor of animal .husbandry or a ormitory chambermaid an instructor m home economics. He says it isnt trying to make silk purses out of cow's tails or anything like that, and doesn't like to have civil serv ice snooping around with ques tionnaires as though checking on the veracity of the college presi- dents. The governor told both par ties to keep their troubles out of the newspapers; but after alL that is public business.. Maybe the em - ployes themselves would like to know what's going on.; So let's have full disclosure . . even Gov. Stevenson is going to cough up the- names on his secret money list. It seems to be built into civil - service that every head of a de- partment wants exemption. He us ' ually is sure he can run his de partment .better if he can hire and fire his own help. Many times he could: but as the number of de- nartments has grown classifica tion becomes necessary for uni formity of working conditions; and selection on merit is needed to avoid political patronage. In bucking the civil service hal ter and harness on rrfany of its staff higher education isn't differ ent from other departments; but I doubt if the civil service horse collar would start any serious sores. After all most top level sci entists in federal employment are under civil service. ? Doubtless there will be enough foot-dragging to let the issue be settled by the next legislature. If the law-makers want, to make teachers out of house-mothers or deans out of bookkeepers they are the ones to do it. Meantime let's all relax lest the taxpayers grab ' a club. . , - - -. ; .

Eisenhower of misquoting him 'and . torturing the facts"- about administration policy toward the defense of Korea. - In a speech at Cincinnati Sept 22, Eisenhower said that five months before the Reds attacked in Korea Acheson had "declared that America's so-called defen sive perimeter excluded areas on the Asiatic mainland such as Ko rea" Invitation to Attack Eisenhower suggested this in vited the 1950 Communist on slaught on , Korea. Eisenhower held that the decision to defend Korea when the attack occurred was inescapable but he said it was the incompetence 1 of political leaders which made military ac tion necessary." Acheson declared in a state ment that he used no language excluding Korea. He said the po sition he took in a speech to the National Press Club here Jan. 12, 1950, was this: L The American defensive per imeter included the Aleutian Is lands, Japan, the Ryukyus and the Philippines and if this line were attacked the United States would defend it alone if necessary just as it would the nation's continental area. . 2. Should an attack oecur out side -the defensive perimeter, the initial defense must come from the people on the scene and re liance then would have to be made on the United "Nations to repel aggression.

It's a mechanical, remote-con trol robot in which a relatively cheap substitute for radium can be shot through pneumatic tubes. like a cash carrier in a depart ment store. Direct Atomic Rays These "cartridges" of radioac tive material can bring powerful atomic rays to bear uniformly on the entire body of a test animal for any desired length of time and then be automatically witn drawn. The device employs a quantity of radioactive cobalt costing about $6.000 but having the ray- emitting power of approximately 24 million dollars wortn or radium. or more tnan nan me worm s supply of the latter. The instrument r called a 'gamma ray generator" gives off "gamma" radiation, the farthest- reaching of the highiy-penetrat ing rays given off by the explosion of an A-bomb. Handy Test Unit Scientists of the Naval Medical Research Institute said the new device provides, for the first time, a handy and rather inexpensive means of irradiating the whole body of a test animal m a uniform way roughly analgous to the way a man standing in the open near an A-bomb blast would be a iected.

Police, directed by Lt. Paul Morgan, began a systematic search and at mid-day Morgan radioed headquarters here that "contact" had been made again and he asked for a bloodhound. It was sent from Roseburg along with more partol men. The men had escaped prison in a truck, then had been spotted Saturday in Northern California. An exchange of bullets hit no one, and the hunt turned into the rug ged woods. r Sets Seen agree that they are hardly in the of deliveries, dealers reported in a Statesman survey Friday. Reason for this is a shortage of sets and "ponwrters. Most dealers said sales are steadily. increasing. ' Many sets have converters built into them and these are delivered as fast as dealers get them. Other sets require the addition of con verters to make sets work on Portland's ultra . high frequency station KPTV. . . Although the sales picture here is not patterned clearly, a conserv ative estimate would be that sev eral hundred sets have been sold and delivered in the past several weeks. Seven to Fifteen Daily . Several of the larger stores re port they are "selling" from seven to fifteen sets per day but most are delivering only about half that many. One store reported it has delivered 40 sets in the past two weeks and has 150 more on order. Another downtown dealer re ported he is selling two or three sets per day but has only deliv ered 'about 20. Smaller shops in outlying areas said they averaged about 10 sets sold and delivered in the past several weeks. Douglas Yeater of Yeater Ap pliance Company predicted that both sales and delivery of sets would "speed up within several more weeks." Yeaters, like several other shops, is keeping its tele vision division open nights for customer viewing of video shows. Antennae Problem At Marrs'. where viewers clus ter nightly on the sidewalk out side the shop to watch TV shows, it was reported that "Our greatest problem is selecting the correct type of antennae." This, it was noted, ranked right along with the scarcity of UHF attachments - as headache features. Man's also reported that many people are buying sets, without the necessary converters, on the promise of future delivery of the gadget. Most sets, plus installation, are costing their new owners an aver age of $350 to $400, according to cecii r arnes, sales manager at Heider's. Faroes reported that TV engineers in Salem Friday said mat reception here is about 95 per cent of perfect, "which is far better than we had hoped for. Al Lamer, proprietor of his own shop in the Keizer district north oi aaiem, noted, as did many other dealers, that best types of aerials for this area are ' the trombone and "Yagi." Many Pay Cash Most dealers reported that while antennaes were not on the crit ically short list, nevertheless get ting the right kind in sufficient supply was something of a prob lem. Kaye Radio Company noted tnat antennae were in short sup ply there. . Who is buying sets in Salem? wen, f arnes at neideri says that most customers are from "the middle class income brackets." Most, he reports, have made up their minds to buy a set, so their only problem is to select the type they want. And many of these early TV customers are paying cash for sets, dealers report, but in recent days the demand for credit terms has increased.

MishaB South Greets GOP Hopeful With Ovation By The Associated Press Gov. Adlai Stevenson defended 4 the fund he set up to bolster the pay of some Illinois state officials by saying Friday night: "If It's a crime to helD good ' people in government, then I'm - guiuy. .The remark, which got him a hearty round of applause from an - Indianapolis audience, -had been, ' prefaced by the comment that he had heard there is a lot of curiosi- ' ty about some help he had given ' state employes. Reversed Stand " Stevenson, the Democratic Pres- idential nominee, earlier had re versed himself under heavy Re- ' publican fire and decided to tell more about the private fund he had used to increase the salaries ' of key state officials. , - Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, the Republican Presidential nominee, got a thunderous welcome in Rich mond, VaM where he made a blis- ' tenng attack on what he called i corruption, waste and extrava gance in Washington. Temporary stands on the steDS of the State Capitol collapsed un- J der the weight of spectators just after Eisenhower had completed nis speech and was walking away, but he was unhurt. More For Ike . The reception Eisenhower got at Richmond eclipsed the one Ste venson got there a week ago. The Richmond speech . was a climax to a one-day push into North Carolina and Virginia. Eisenhower urged the voters to cancel the Apolitical mortgage" the Democrats held on the South. He , also praised Democratic Sen. Har- ry F. Byrd of Virginia. Sen. Richard Nixon. Eisenhow er's running mate, was hard at work, in Texas, trying to swing it out of the traditional Democratic fold. alks Tidelands Nixon told an Amarilio audience that Texas Democrats ought to vote against what he called Tru man Democrats because of the at tempted "steal" of the oil-rich submerged lands. Accusing the administration of . an "outright, downright theft" in the federal-state battle over the off-shore lands, Nixon said: - 'If you want to lose your tide- lands, the thing to do is vote against Gen. Eisenhower." . In a news conference Nixon said; 1. If Eisenhower is elected Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio "will, be the top leader in the Senate and his main job will be to develop egislation as a team player. Z. if Eisenhower felt an "ulti matum" to Russia would invoke a war there would be no ultimatum. Republicans were keeping the pressure on Stevenson to tell more about his fund to help state of ficials. Stevenson informed newsmen before setting out on a new cam paign swing that he was getting in touch with the contributors with a view to making their names pub lic He also said he would name the recipients.
