Fiery Volcano Pokes Its Head
800 Feet Above Pacific Ocean
By FRANK L. WHITE
AsROclatfd Presl Staff Writer
MANILA UP) Up out of the
Pacific Ocean an old volcano
in three months has reared its
black lava shoulders and steam
ing crown 800 feet above the
Straits of Luzon like some spec
tre risen from a wet grave.
You look into its fiery mouth
and it is like looking into the
gates of hell.
Acrid yellow fumes, dense and
sulphurous, seethe in the crater
like an impenetrable cloak.
Molten laval boils in the pit,
spills over the rim, congeals in
huge blocks which build the
volcano cone ever higher.
Explosions wrack the crater.
Clouds of steam mount to the
skies. Jets of rock particles,
some as big as an office desk,
blast upward. They fall and
crash against the cinder slopes,
roll and tumble crazily into the
sea, disappear in blasts of
steam.
It is a pit of brimstone and
fire, stirred in nature's cauldron.
Even the name of this newly
risen volcano has a Biblical ring.
Didicas after the Didicas Rocks
which mysteriously appeared
nearly a century ago in this
same spot 38 miles north of
Luzon's northernmost tip and
as mysteriously disappeared be
neath the waves after four years.
The U. S. Navy is keeping
close watch on this phenomena
since a Portland, Ore., master,
Capt. J. J. Philippsen of the
freighter Brightstar, discovered
a five-acre Island of tumbled
volcanic rock on March 16.
Since then, the volcanic island
has grown to 600 acres. Its
crater, 800 feet above the sea, is
almost a mile long and more
than half a mile wide. The island
I saw March 19 from the air
would fit neatly now into the
crater. There is no telling how
big Didicas will grow.
But this is but a minute speck
compared with the giant under
the waves. Didicas is a vast
underwater mountain with its
base resting on the ocean floor
five miles down.

Navy hydrographers from the
Sangley Point station near Man
ila chart the growing island fre
quently. Lt. Robert Ayers,
Seattle, took us so close in his
two-engined Martin amphibian
that we felt like we could toast
marshmallows if we had any.
Ayers took us over, around
and alongside the world's new
est active volcano on June 16
just three months to the day
after it poked its head above
the sea.

School Probes
Leader Problem
Problems of leadership as view
ed by a labor economist, political
scientist, social psychologist, an
thropologist and sociologist were
discussed by a five-member panel
of University of Oregon professors
Friday before the Northwest Ele
mentary Principals' Work Confer
ence adjourned for a weekend
beach party at Sherwood Lodge in
Yachats.
Conference sessions will be re
sumed Monday in Erb Memorial
Union on the University of Oregon
campus, and will continue through
next Friday.
Chairman of this morning's pan
el on the topic of "Leadership Sen
sitivity to Community Groups and
Interests" was Donald E. Tope, di
rector of the Kellogg Foundation's
Northwest Regional project for the
study and improvement of educa
tional administration.
PANEL PARTICIPANTS em
phasized the need for school lead
ers to relate their work to the
social and cultural environment of
the community. Vincent Ostrom,
associate director of the Kellogg
project, said that the school should
act as coordinator in urban centers
where each public agency operates
in the belief that lt Is the most
Important part of the municipality,
Paul Klelnsorge, professor of
economics at the University of
Oregon told the principals that
membership in organized labor
groups has increased from 10 per
cent to 25 per cent of the nation's
60,000,000 workers within the past
10 to 15 years. The possibility that
more and more school children
may be coming from homes where
the provider is a member of 1
labor organization may necessitate
a change in curriculum that will
include a study of the history of
the American labor movement.
Theodore Stern, assistant pro
fessor ot anthropology, said that
although most teachers eome from
the "middle class," elementary
teachers must deal with a wider
range of backgrounds among their
students than da the secondary
teachers.
More than 80 children are en
rolled at Mt. Vernon Church of
Christ DVBS which operates dur
ing the afternoon.
Members of Concervarlve Bap'
tlst Church are holding services
in the new church they are build
ing at 17th Street and Mohawk
Boulevard although the edifice is
not completed. Even though han
dicapped by being without pas
tor the group Is active both spir
itually and In construction so that
all will be snug for fall.
RICHARD LITTMAN, assistant
professor of psychology, said that
there is no "leadership type," that
specific leaders emerge to meet
specific situations.
All members of the panel have
been conducting a seminar in So
cial Foundations of Education at
the University during the past
year. '
Dr. Inga McDenlu, school psy
