So ad dicted have they become to study and research in order to qualify as "scholars," which seems to be proved best by i "publishing" papers and books), that the fine art of teaching often is neglected. ' In deference to this cult, or in proof of the productivity of mem bers of faculties of higher insti tutions the State Board of Higher Education has just gotten out a bulletin, "Faculty Publications -Issue, 1950-1952." It lists what each professor has gotten pub lished in pamphlet or magazine or book during that period. Some have been very prolific . the scientists seem to turn out more stuff than the "humanitarians." Scanning the lists one finds a wide range, from "Six amens; for mixed voices" by Milton Dieter ich of the university to "Five easy steps ior deciding now many trucks per shovel," by A. L. Roberts of the state college. There are some you can hardly wait to dig your teeth in, like Rearrangement of some disub stituted cyclic ketones" by E. N. Marvell of the college, or this one on "Abnormal reactions of 2 - thianaphthlenylmethylmagne sium chloride," by V. B. Gaertner of the university. There should be a big demand for "The flexi bility of football players" by P. O. Sigerseth of the university. The medical school staff does .a lot of writing on diseases, and the state college people turn out a steady grist of articles on agri culture. The colleges of educa tion are not quite so productive, but there are some inviting titles, like "The annoyances of elementary school teachers, by Louis Kaplan of Monmouth. One surmises that a copy of this should clap hands that these men parent. The catalog runs to over 60 pages. At least it proves that faculties of Oregon institutions are busy with typewriters. And when we stop to think how much of toil in laboratory research, in reading and in cerebral exercise goes into the final product we should clap hands that thtse men and women are seeking to add to the store of human knowledge. Only one hopes they do not get i i A t A su UU11CU 111 UllgUMll that they neglect the work of the classroom. U. S. to Furnish Planes to NATO PARIS UP!

Her son, Pvt. Guy T. Swartz, a former student in Vanport Col lege, Portland, was attending of ficer's candidate school at Ft Benning. His wife, who is ex pecting a baby in May, lives in Portland. Told of Transfer The last word Mrs. Swartz had from her son was through his wife. He called his wife in Sep tember and said he was being transferred to Camp Stoneman, Calif., his mother explained. When letters stopped coming from her son Mrs. Swartz tried to get word of him through the Ft Benning chaplain's office and through the office of U. S. Sen. Guy Cordon She finally heard from Senator Cordon that her son was being held in the Ft Benning stockade on the larceny charge. Mrs. Swartz then wired an uncle of Jier son, Homer Adams of Ousley, Ga., who went to see her son. Pri vate Swartz told his uncle he had not taken the monev but knew who did and did not report the theft, Mrs. Swartz explained. Son Convicted Although the man who took the money was located, Mrs. Swartz said, her son was convicted of the charge Nov. 10. His sen tence included dishonorable dis charge from the service, she add ed. No word of the court martial or sentence reached Mrs. Swartz until Saturday, more than a month after the 'trial. Private Swartz was drafted in Sept 1952, his mother explained, and was sent to Camp Roberts, Calif., for basic training. He later applied for officer's training and was accepted. Record Clean He's never been in any kind of trouble before," his mother asserted, "and he's just not the kind of boy to pull a trick like that." The sentence will be reviewed by a court martial board at Ft Benning and then be forwarded to the Judge Advocate General in Washington, D.C., officials at Ft Benning informed Mrs. Swartz. In the meantime she is still awaiting word from her son.

Yankee PWs Refuse to Meet For Interviews PANMUNJOM Iff) The United Nations Command refused to take "no" for a final answer Monday from 22 balky Americans who re fused to appear before Allied come-home explainers. The Allies requested that the In dian Command produce for ex planations Tuesday either six j Americans, 30 South Koreans or a lone British marine. All are list ed as refusing repatriation. The Allied move would allow the prisoners themselves to decide who would appear. An Indian spokesman said he presumed that the Americans, the South Koreans and the English man would stick together in their holdout stand which has stalled the Allied explanation efforts. Some 78 South Koreans have balked at appearing before the ex plainers because they want the right to' deliver "counter-explanations" to South Korean officers. Leaders of the 22 Americans said they would not appear unless the South Koreans did. Presum ably the Englishman also would refuse to show up. The Americans sent out awrit- ten refusal Sunday night to leave their camp and attend explanations which had been scheduled to start at 9 a. m. Monday in the neutral zone.

Dean broke the bitter discus sions last Saturday when the Com munists charged the United States with "perfidy" in permitting the release of 27,000 anti-Communist North Korean prisoners last June. The prisoners were released by order of South Korean President Syngman Rhee. However, the Allied envoy said his chief aide, Kenneth Young of the U. S. State Department, will remain in Korea tor about a week to see if the Communists wish to resume the talks." He said Young would have "full authority" to resume the suspend ed talks with the Reds if the Com munists withdraw the perfidy charge and give some sign they are ready to negotiate in good faith. Dean's aides, Charles Allen, Christopher van Holleri and Good win Shapiro will return with the special ambassador who was Secretary of State Dulles' law partner in civil life.
