Speaking About Their Children s Education
Governor Telis U.O. Fathers,
'Keep in Touch at All Times'
Other Story, Page 4A
Speaking "as one Dad to
another," Gov. Mark Hatfield
Saturday told the University
of Oregon Dads that fathers
should keep in touch with
their children's education at
all times, "not just when they
push the panic button."
"When you don't offer advice,
you are saying that all your years
of experience are worth nothing,"
he said.
In a brief talk at a Dads Day
luncheon which was split into
sections at the Erb Memorial
Union ballroom and Carson Hall,
Governor Hatfield said that fath
ers and students should work to
gether to plot a program for the
itudent. . -
Governor Hatfield said that
fathers should also pay attention
to the development of education
al institutions within the state.
He said that there was a crisis
in state education at the present
time, and that two issues on the
ballot this fall would be vital to
the development of education.
MORE IMPORTANT ROLE
He apparently referred to two
bonding issues, one for tax funds
to construct $40 million worth
of state buildings, which would
include some at state universi
ties, and another to raise the level
of bonding authority to allow the
State System of Higher Education
to construct additional buildings
such as dormitories, which are
self-liquidating and are not built
with tax funds.
Governor Hatfield cited the let
ters of Lord Chesterfield to his
son as an example of a father's
interest in his son's preparation
for life. This may be a more im
portant role for fathers -than
merely responding to the panic
button because a student has low
grades, too many absences, or fi
nancial difficulties, he said. .
PRESENT STATURE
In an aside to fathers from
California, Governor Hatfield
asked Ihem to note Saturday's
Washington9 s Birthday

"sunshine, green grass, and run
ning water," which, he said was
"typical of Oregon."
William Jones, dean of admin
istration at the University of Ore
gon, said at the luncheon that the
state university "inevitably and
inexorably reflects the aspirations
and hopes of the citizens of the
state."
He said that the present stature
of the University of Oregon is a
result of the concern for educa
tion by the people of Oregon,
which has resulted in an "insti
tute of distinction."
Dean Jones noted that 62 teach
ers will be added to the staff of
institutes of higher education in

dows will be closed.
City council meetings which
would ordinarily fall on Mon
day night in both Eugene and
Springfield will be postponed
until Tuesday night. The Eu
gene Water Sc Electric Board
has postponed its regular Mon
day night meeting until Mon
day, Feb. 2.
Oregon for the next academic
year. He said that 50 of these
teachers would come to the Uni
versity of Oregon.
Adequate salaries, made pns
sihle by the citizens of Oregon,
will assure that the university
will be able to find teachers of
stature and integrity to fill these
posts, he said.
The development of the Uni
versity of Oregon has shown that
the citizens of Oregon want
to give their sons and daughters
a chance to work in a free institu
tion, he said,, where no student
is judged except by his achieve
ments and his contribution to the
campus.
He noted that his office gets
many questionnaires from other
universities. "It seems whenever
an American university any
where faces a problem they call
on the University of Oregon to
find out how we deal with it."

degrees Sunday night.
Circulation of air from the east

Manuals on How to Write Manuals
Military-Manual Mess:
There Are 2,000 of Em
By ELTON C. FAY
Of the Associated Press
WASHINGTON Hi Among
the military's mighty mass of
manuals there are even man
uals that tell how to write
manuals.
Each of the services has its
own sets of manuals training,
technical instructions, advice
on many things.
No one at the Pentagon
seems quite sure of the num
ber, but it apparently runs to
about 2,000. The Air Force
says about 600 of its training
manuals are in print; the Navy
estimates it has 300; and an in
dex of Army publications indi
cates that perhaps as many as
1,000 of these are current.
Northeast Battling
To Dig Out of Snow

The storm-stunned East battled snow and chilling winds
to free itself Saturday night
one of winter s worst tempests.
ing menacingly eastward across the Great Plains.
Hundreds of motorists, some stranded since Thursday
night seemed destined to spend another night in make
shut shelters along some ot
the East's main highways
Others, freed by road crews
working around the clock, found
themselves heading back in the
direction from which they had
started. At the same time, the
western storm, raining hail and
churning up tornadoes to the
south and hurling snow to the
north, began closing down por
tions of the Midwest.
500 ARE SNOWED IN
Six inches of snow fell on parts
of Kansas and Colorado. The up
per Mississippi Valley as far east
as Ohio was warned of falls up
to 8 inches by Sunday,
five hundred persons attending
a state high school wrestling
tournament at Oakley, Kan., were
snowed in and were forced to
seek lodging among the town's
2,500 residents. The Kansas City
airport began diverting traffic.
The storm pelted two Okla
homa communities with nearly an
inch of hail. Oklahoma City re
ported hail stones the size of golf
balls.
A tornado was seen near Wa-
tonga, Okla.
DEATH TOLL AT 18
In the East, where the storm's
death toll stood at 18, snow and
towering drifts hampered rescue
efforts in New York, Pennsyl
vania, and Maryland.
Road crews fought through
drifts up to 18 feet high along
the New York Thruway and
reached most of the motorists
stranded at crowded service
areas. The storm dumped up to
26 inches of snow on New York
Slate.
More than a thousand vehicles
had been stalled along the super
highway, and a spokesman said
abandoned cars would have to be
cleared before the highway's seg
ment between Syracuse and Buf
falo could be reopened.
State troopers counted 00 trac
lor trailers, 300 cars and 6 buses
abandoned south of Rochester.
Late Saturday, the Pennsylvan
ia Turnpike was reopened and
thousands of motorists, stranded
in restaurants, motels and church
es, some since Thursday night,
began moving slowly homeward.
A 185-mile stretch of the turn
pike had been closed between
Gettysburg and Irwin by snow
that reached three feet on the
western slopes of the Allegheny
Mountains.

fessional foresters should not con
fine themselves to merely grow

management, Eliot Jenkins, of
Eugene, president of the West
Coast Lumberman's Assn., said
here Saturday evening.
Jenkins, president of the' Booth

Jenkins warned the foresters
not to let expediency endanger
the long-range management of the
nation's forests. .
"Only expediency," he said, "po
litical expediency, tax expediency,
can kill this long-term manage
ment of our trees and forests."
He challenged the foresters to
look at more than the mere grow
ing of trees, "for unless we can
grow them at a profit, unless we
can sell the products, there's no
use growing them." '
Foresters in the past failed to
tell management of the negative
effects of taxation on tree farms,
Jankins claimed.
"Taxation should be the No. 1
topic of interest for foresters,"

December, he visited 11 nations
of Europe, the Middle East and
Africa. A tour of the Soviet Union

SOME TROUBLE POSSIBLE
A generally warm reception
seems assured for the President

the scheduled execution of kid

There has been some criticism
from United States and Latin

Warden Lauds
Oregon For
Prison Work
Tells Legislative Subcommittee
Of California Lag in Rehabilitation
By RICHARD BAKER
or the Register-Guard
Clarence T. Gladden, warden of the Oregon State Peni
tentiary, testified Saturday at a legislative subcommittee
hearing in Eugene that "it looks as if Oregon is doing a bet
ter job than California" in rehabilitating criminal offend
ers. Statistics indicate, he said, that more repeaters are in
carcerated in California's prisons than in Oregon's, despite
California's elaborate penal system.
Gladden said that before an offender is sent to prison in
California, he goes through six to eight weeks of psycholog
ical ana sociological tcsting.i
He is then sent to an appro
priate institution according
to the findings of these exam
inations. Gladden added that "a 25-page
report" of the tests is sent along
with lhe criminal, and that the
prison guards are supposed to
cany out the psychological and
sociological recommendations.
"I think it's theoretical my
self," he told the subcommittee.
DIRECTLY TO PRISON
In Oregon, offenders are sent
directly to the penitentiary or to
the new intermediate correctional
institution.
Gladden's testimony was heard
by a subcommittee of the Lcgis
laitve interim Committee on
Criminal Law. The committee
Saturday gathered opinions on
the "indeterminate sentence."
Under such a sentencing plan
judges would give offenders
maximum term and allow the
State Parole Board lo determine
when the prisoner was ready to
be returned lo society.
In effect, such a program has
already b';en operating in Ore
gon for offenders sentenced to
prison terms ot five years or
more. Witnesses indicated some
concern, however, over the fact
that shorter sentences of two or
throe years do not provide enough
time for rehabilitating offenders.
'NO CERTAIN TEST'
Gladden noted that there is still
no certain way to determine
whether an offender will be a
good parole risk.
We do not know if contact
with a prison pushes a man for-i
ward, pushes a man backward or
leaves him untouched, he said.
Gladden added that he believed
all offenders, when released from
prison, should be placed under
some kind of supervision. He said
tne most critical period comes
t the time a man first leaves
prison.
At present, an offender is
placed under supervision only
when he is freed before his sen
tence has run its course. If he
serves his full lime, there is no
supervision whatsoever.

State Budget
May Involve
No Tax Rise
A budget of $340 million for
slate operations during the 1961
63 biennium could apparently be
financed with no increase in
taxes, the Legislative Interim
Tax Study Committee was told
in Eugene Saturday.
The report was made by Free
man Holmer, director of the
State Dept. of Finance and Ad
ministration.
Holmer said revenues indicate
that a balanced budget only nine
per cent higher than that o the
current biennium could be
achieved without more taxes.
But the director said estimates
of income are "rough" and sub
ject to revision. -
Holmer s presentation started
the second day's committee ses
sion in Eugene. Timber taxes
highlighted Friday's meeting.
ROUGH SLEDDING
Hints of coming budget and in
come tax arguments popped up
during Saturday's session, bow-ever.
Dean Ellis, chairman of the
Slato Tax Commission, and Rich
ard Eymann, executive secretary
for the interim committee, pre
sented several complex tax pro
posals. Some are likely to have
rough sledding before the Legis
lature, several committee mem
bers have indicated.
Few decisions were made on
any of the reports presented Sat
urday. Holmer pointed out that al
though Gov. Mark Hatfield is
emphatically against a tax in
crease, some increases in gener
al fund expenditures are inevit
able.
GENERAL FORECAST
He forecast these general fund
demands for the 196143 bien
nium:
Continuation of present serv
ices at a cost of $298,518,000
(about the same as the present
budget); a mandatory increase
of $6,765,000 for basic school sup
port; an increase of five million
dollars for higher education; an-
