They endorsed the coordinat ; ing movement, he said, "but ' that doesn't mean they endorsed ! each other." He added that ; there were some rugged indi 1 vidualists in the various groups. But all the groups, he said were ; in agreement on one thing, "and (that's to try to do something about the threat of communism . internally." ! Hargis said the meeting de- cided to set up a steering com mittee with one representative from each group and with Ed- ward Hunter, a writer and lec turer, as chairman. ; Other decisions he reported: To hold the meetings every three months in Washington, ' with the next one in June, when I there will be an attempt to get .congressmen to attend.

Minear, state superintendent of public in struction, said Wednesday. He listed these facts: Seventy-five per cent of Oregon's grade school gradu ates go on to complete high school, putting Oregon 10th from the top. Only 5.7 per cent of Ore- gons selective service regis trants fail in mental tests. Only three states have a better rec ord. Almost half of Oregon adults have had four years of high school, ranking 7th in the country. Only two states have few er adults with less than five years of schooling. Oregon schools average 22.8 pupils per teacher, and only eight states have a lower ratio. Oregon spends $136 per capita for public education, ranking 9th. Minear noted, however, that the average length of the school year in Oregon is 177.8 days, ranking Oregon 26th. He noted trend toward longer school years in other states. He also said Oregon ranks 35th in boosting teacher sal aries, and 40th in the percent age of grade school teachers having standard certificates.

The decision was made by Gen. Lauris Norstad, U.S. com mander in chief in Europe, on the basis of what a Pentagon spokesman said was the "im provement in the standards" of the privately owned and widely sold paper. The Overseas Weekly, which at times has carried articles and pictures to which the military objected, has been a point of controversy for almost a decade.

(UPD President Kennedy will join hundreds of professors in their gold, scarlet and purple robes at the University of California Friday, but he won't have top billing at the world's largest educational institution. Campus posters heralding the annual Charter Day ceremonies do not emphasize the presiden tial visit, and the formal invita tions are for the inauguration of Edward W. Strong as chan cellor of the Berkeley campus of the far-flung school. At the bottom of the an nouncement, in letters the same size, it says simply: "The prin cipal address will be delivered by the President of the United States." 80,000 Expected The current wisecrack among students is: "Are you planning to attend the inauguration of Dr. Strong?" But while the university fol lows academic custom and the students apply the needle, more than 80,000 persons are expect ed to turn out to hear Kennedy speak and see him receive an honorary degree. Also receiving degrees will be Defense Secre tary Robert S. McNamara and Thomas H. Carroll, president of George Washington Univer sity. Charter Day is the university's most imposing annual event. At most schools the biggest day of the year is graduation, but at California fewer than half the graduates usually show up to re ceive their diplomas. The rest send in for them by mail. ' Absenteeism High Even when then President Harry S. Truman spoke at com mencement in 1948 only about 40 per cent of the graduating seniors attended, although 55, 000 other spectators were there. Charter Day Commemorates March 23, 1868, the day a legis lative act creating the Univer sity of California was signed by Gov. H. H. Haight. The observance serves as a convenient time to inaugurate new administrative officers and sum up past accomplishments. Its most colorful feature is the long, formal academic proces sion of professors, students and alumni. AT Willakenzie Mid. 1855 COBURG ROAD 1855 COBURG ROAD Y 10 LB. BAG 88c Wz oz. PACKAGE 4 for 88' 88" Gromyko For Consultations in By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER Of the Associated Press GENEVA Soviet Foreien Minister Andrei Gromyko sum moned Communist East Ger many's top diplomat to Geneva Wednesday for consultation. This step gave fresh urgency to East-West talks on Berlin against the background of the 17-nation disarmament confer ence. The conference itself address ed a special bid to France to abandon its boycott of the Gen eva meeting and send a delegate to fill the empty 18th chair. There was no indication that President De Gaulle would heed the appeal. He considers the meeting useless. No Dent in Deadlock On another front, disarma ment experts of the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union resumed three-power dis cussions of a nuclear weapons test ban. Informants said they tauea to make any dent in the East-West deadlock over provi sions for inspection to police me Dan. iney aid agree to meet again Thursday. Pressure mounted among the uncommitted nations for a mor atorium on nuclear weapons tests before the United States resumes testing in the atmos phere next month.

Gro- Freeway Plan Gets Support PORTLAND (fl The Port land Chamber of Commerce de clared its support Wednesday for the proposed Foothills-Stadium Freeway in Portland. The route has drawn some protests in recent weeks. A pe tition bearing names of 3,000 objectors is expected to be pre sented to the City Council at a meeting on the matter Thurs day. The Chamber of Commerce said a chamber spokesman will support the route at the hear ing. The freeway will run through the west side of Portland. It will connect with the Pacific Freeway in Southwest Portland, swinging northwest from the proposed new Marquam Bridge over the Willamette River. It will skirt the foothills, then turn north, running along the blocks between 13th and 14th avenues to connect with the proposed new Fremont Bridge over the Willamette. Objectors have said it will remove much property from tax rolls and will form a barrier to stop growth of the business dis trict. Oregon Lumberman Dies in Washington FOREST GROVE 0IPD Wil liam W.

Western officials were close ly watching the outburst of So viet activity, which seems to have begun with new instruc tions to Gromyko from Moscow Monday. On that day Gromyko asked Secretary of State Dean Rusk to a brief talk and report edly gave him a "working pa per" of various views on Berlin crisis- issues. Gromyko entertained Rusk and a panel of Berlin policy ex perts at dinner Tuesday night. They talked for more than three hours. Later word circulated in Western quarters that the Rus sians had not come up with any new ideas or hints of conces sions. Menon Proposal Concerning a moratorium, For eign Ministers Mahmoud Fawzi of the United Arab Republic, Ketema Yifru of Ethiopia and U Thi Han of Burma joined in India s demand for an unpoliced agreement to suspend test plans while the big powers negotiate. The United States so far has been firm in its determination to go ahead with the April scries of tests in the atr osphere unless the Soviet Union agrees to a test ban treaty with pro vision for adequate Inspection to prevent cheating. India s Krishna Menon sug gested Tuesday that nuclear test detection stations be set up in nonaligned countries. Prime Minister Nehru explain ed in New Delhi that such an arrangement would make it more certain that nuclear weapon tests would be discov ered because the stations would be nearer the test areas. The conference at its plenary session Wednesday called on France to reconsider and at tend the disarmament talks. The resolution presented by Menon asked the conference co- chairmen, the United States and Russia, to pass along the request to French President De Gaulle. De Gaulle refused to send French delegates to the con ference, saying worthwhile dis- nrmnmnnt npBntintinns pmiM be carried on only by the four powers that have nuclear weap ons the United States, Britain, France and the Soviet Union.
