(CompleU it port pita I) Mew Shajkeup- GSymdred Dim Buss- High Command Reds Invited To Observe U. S. Election By JOHN SCALI WASHINGTON, Sept. 28-(AP)-The United States, in a surprise move, has invited Russia and four of her Euro pean satellites to send official observers to "view at first hand" the American elections in November. In announcing the action today, the State Department said it as sumed the Ret! governments would reciprocate by inviting Americans to observe their elections "on the next appropriate occasion." The U.S. invitations, extending as par) of the government's world wide cultural exchange program, went to Russia, Poland, Czecho slovakia, Hungary and Romania nine days ago. None has accepted yet. Each government was asked to send two or three observers who would arrive Oct. 21 and remain about three weeks. Their expenses while in this country would be paid by the U.S. government. The visitors would be permitted to tour the country, attending po litical rallies, hearing campaign speeches and finally watching the actual balloting process on Nov. 6. Richards Asks Restriction on College Entry PORTLAND. Sept. 28 lif-0re-gon's four-year colleges must be- 1 8'n restricting admission of stu- dents to relieve overcrowded con ditions, the chancellor of the State System of Higher Education said today. Chancellor John R. Richards told the City Club that two-year colleges should be expanded to help handle increased enrollments, The crowding of college facilities has been getting worse in recent years and the end is not in sight, he said. "It is clear that not all high school graduates should contem plate four years of college, and some none at all. Many would be served by enrollment in a 13th and 14th year in their home com- rtinnitip nr entrv into a teehnl cal institute." Richards declared. "A recent report of the junior college study committee in this state found that ideally the junior college should be an upward ex tension of the local school sys tem, rather than a program run directly by the state. "Many of us have been hoping for such a development of post 'high school opportunities on a fairly widespread basis. It will be difficult to exclude students from the freshman year in our public colleges when no substitute edu cational opportunity is available, as it is in many states, and our neighbors to the north and south are good examples. . . "The time has come when the Board must deny admission to those Oregon high school gradu ates whose record and test scores and I emphasize a combination of both indicate that they are poor risks to complete at least two years of satisfactory study."

Costcllo collapsed today. A federal judge threw the case out of court, with harsh words for the govern ment's conduct. Costcllo owed his victory to the inquisitive Judge, a retentive minded president of a small Ohio college and a former big city detective.
