Under the board's proposal, pri mary and secondary training will be offered at all the schools and at Portland State aat Portland by extension work. The recommendation for the change was one of several sug- rested by the Teacher Education Survey conducted recently at the board.s request by Dr. Warl W. Anderson of Ohio State University. The board rejected, 5-3, another of Anderson's major recommenda tions which called for a limited liberals at its program in humani ties, social science and science mathematics at the three educa tion colleges. No action was taken on a third recommendation which . called for a complete survey of the State System of Higher Education within a few years. In other action Monday the Board recommended that Portland State, which now offers only two years of lower division work, be made a four-year school, offering regular nonprofessional degrees if the need for such a college in the Portland area is proved. The board 'recommended that the college be permitted for a two year trial period tc , offer three and two-thirds years of work toward a degree. If this program works out, the board said, the 1955 Legislature should refer the. matter to the vot ers as Oregon now prohibits estab lishment of a new four year col lege without constitutional amend ment. The policy statement also rec ommended continued use of the Lincoln High School and cons ide ation of a new buulding, at least by the 1957 Legislature, if the need Is clearly established. Portland interests have long sought a four-year institution for the metropolitan area. The pro gram has been gene, ally opposed by the administrations of the state's two major colleges.

ROBEKT SMTTII Ststesmait Correspondent WASHINGTON Colleagues gave Senator Wayne Morse a cor dial -'handshaking welcome Saturday upon the opening of the new Congress but they appeared all set to bump Morse this week from his top notch committee assignments to less desirable seats, i The cordiality came in More's first encounter with fellow Sena tors since his pre-election bolt of the Republican Party. It was height ened by Morse's entrance into the august Senate' chamber carrying a green, metal folding chair Which contrasted sharply with the se date hand tooled leather chairs provided for each Senator. , Senator Guy Cordon pushed his way through the milling lawmak ers to pump Morse's hand and en joy a laugh when Morse cracked; "It's going to be pretty hard seat for four years." i - But Morse was soon persuaded to retire to his old seat on the Re publican side, a chair specially built for Morse to accommodate an old back injury. He kept the folding chair handy at his side, however, "in case I have to move quickly." ' Happy New Tear e A reporter talking to Morse was interrupted by another well-wishing colleague, Vice President-elect Richard Nixon. They wished one another a happy New Year. Then came the Senator closest to President-elect Eisenhower, Frank Carlson of Kansas, to chat ami ably with Morse 'momentarily. Others followed suit, including Senator Joe McCarthy, until the gavel sounded opening the new Congress. ' Handshaking, however, doesn't protect a Senator's seniority rights and Morse will probably lose his early this week when com mittee assignments are formal ized. Senator Hugh Butler (R Neb.) said bis GOP committee on committees would assign Morse to two committees but he didn't know yet which ones. He noted that Morse has been quoted as saying he expected to be dropped from Armed Services and Labor to two lesser units, possibly Dis trict of Columbia and Civil Serv ice. Butler indicated he wouldn't be surprised if Morse's predic tions hold true. ' On Opposite Sides When the Congress gets down to business, this week Oregon's two Senators will begin where they left off In the last session, on opposite sides of a controversial issue. This time lt will be the mat ter of Senate rules which now al low filibustering. Debate 'can be shut off only by a vote of two thirds of all. Senators. Morse joined a bipartisan group (or trips rtisan, with Morse) which seeks to have the Senate adopt new rules that will be more ef fective in cutting off unlimited debate. He believes the Senate at the outset of each new Congress should adopt new rules, for the U. S. Constitution provides that both House? and Senate shall de termine thejlr own rules. Senator 5 Cbrdon believes differ ently, that inasmuch as the Senate ia conthieng body it's adopted rules are 3tfso continuing from one Congreij to another. This does not mean that Cordon necessarily favors fUl&istering, but he be lieves anydchange in the rules should be considered first by the Senate Ruft Committee and then presented; 4 the traditional man- MATINEE DAILY FROM STARTS TOMORROW! I i- "n"vW M V i MfTSkjy&lZn -:l3 ft f I'M rm hi. I Lit - V .. , ' . ner to the fu Senate for its con- - .'. r . - '.-- sideration. Garden Debates . Cordon, who Is not a frequent debater, argued this point of view last Friday afternoon in the cau cus of Republicans which was called to discuss the matter. Cor don followed Bob Taft and Ever ett Dirksen, citing a Supreme Court case in 1928 -in which the high court held that the Senate is. a continuing body. The GOP caucus gave overwhelming en dorsement to this view. Morse, on the other hand, was attending the meetings of the bi partisan group headed by Senator Herbert Lehman of New York which drew up the resolution asking for a rules change. But even members of the group con ceded there was little hope of success because of overwhelming Republican opposition joining that of Southern Democrats. - Wife Pictured , at Colonel's Death TOKYO in Prosecution wit nesses said $tonday Mrs. Dorothy Krueger Smith, ' 40, stumbled around her " Washingt Heights bedroom in bra and panties mum bling, "too bad I didn't get him in the heart," as her husband la) dy ing of a knife wound in a twin bed. The drama-packed story, of the Oct. S stabbing of CoL Aubrey Smith, 45, son-in-law of retired World War H Gen. Walter Krueger, emerged from the lips of several witnesses before a U. I S.

' The nroblem of Ku1e1ns wraYla facing Salem School District came into clearer locus Monday as tally ing of a record school census was completed, to a total of 13,128 chil dren, or nearly 1,000 above last year. - This compared with 12,142 In 1931 and 11,890 in 1950, with only a small' portion of the increase credited to district consolidation, accordina- to C. C. Ward, district clerk. I v Another 4,339 children under 4 years were counted (as of last Oct. 23) butj these do not figure in the official j census, which is required by state law, for apportionment of school funds. The census ranged from 498 in the 19-year-old group, mostly out of school, . to- 1,230 3-year-olds, most of whom will enter next falL The 4-year-olds also was large, at 1,148. . . - , f .,.

This means an increase! in school .building re quirements! progressing from ele mentary through secondary, for several years, a continuing prob lem now under study by Super intendent Walter E. Snyder. The Marion County portion of the census outnumbers Polk Coun ty's by 12J198 to 928. There are 6,667 boys listed and 6,459 girls. Ward noted that the Salem Dis trict has added Rosedale, Prospect, Ankeny, Lincoln and Zena areas since the 1951 census, but that this had augmented the list by 200 children at the most. . it the Pair Hur t in Car Wreck Two people were Injured Mon day evening when the car in which they were riding went off the road in the Keizer area and struck a tree.
