Upholds Dismissal
Of OSC Chemist
Portland, March 10 (IB The
Oregon state board of higher edu
cation Tuesday upheld the dis
missal of Dr. Ralph Spltzer, asso
ciate professor of chemistry at
Oregon State college, who was
described by President A. L.
Strand as an active follower of the
communist line.
The board's decision was an
nounced in a letter to the progres
sive party of Oregon, which had
protested the dismissal of both
Dr. Spitzer and L. R. La Valle,
assistant professor of economics
as a "violation of academic free
dom." .
Letter Outlined
The board's letter, addressed
to Thomas G. Moore, Oregon pro
gressive party secretary, said:
"Your communication was pre
sented to the state board of higher
education at ts regular meeting.
The board has directed me to In
form you that it has given con
sideration to the matter and con.
firms the action of President
Strand in not renewing the year
ly contracts of Dr. Spltzer and
Mrs. xa vaiiee.
, Strand previously said Spltzer
"has lost the freedom that an
instructor and investigator should
possess" by choosing to follow
the communist party line against
scientific fact.
Spltzer Charged
Dr. Strand specifically charged
that Spitzer had supported the
"Charlatan" soviet geneticist, Ly
senlr'against the leading world
genetVJ.Ats He said Spitzer had
endorsed tysenko in a letter ap
pearing in the Chemical and En
gineering News.
"Taken by itself," Dr. Strand
said, "Dr. Spitzer's letter in be
half of a completely discredilted
effort on the part of the soviet
government to subjugate science
to its own political ends might be
excused as an unfortunate mis
take in judgment.
"But taken along with his pro
soviet propaganda, the letter
shows up in its true light and its
import cannot be overlooked."
Both Spitzer and La Vallee had
protested the termination of their
contracts, asserting it had result
ed from their membership in the
progressive party.
Washington Kills
Power Approval
Olympia, March 10 HI'1 A last
desperate attempt to gain legis
lative approval of hydro-electric
development in the lower Colum
bia fish sanctuary was defeated
in the house of representatives
Wednesday.
Two Tacoma representatives,
A. L. Rasmusscn and A. B. Com
fort, proposed having the interim
legislative council Study the "de
velopment of fisheries and elec
tric power for the purpose of de
ciding how the state's streams and
rivers may best be developed."
The development would be of
"either fisheries or power or a
combination of both so each
could be developed to its maxi
mum without undue prejudice to
the other.
The interim council would re
port its findings back to the next
legislature.
Rasmusscn explained that inas
much as Oregon had voted
against a sanctuary on its side of
the lower Columbia. Washing
ton's sanctuary would be only half
effective. He said it was to the
best interests of the state that a
planned development be com
menced.
The proposition was defeated
bv voice vote.
The sanctuary which was creat
ed by this legislature prohibited
Tacoma City Light from building
two proposed dams on the upper
Cowlitz river.

Science at Work
By Paul F. Ellis
(United Pru Scli-nc. Writer)
San Francisco (IP Modern-day
civilization is moving in on aft
ancient tribe of Africans, in an
area where In the past men had as
many as 40 wives and killing
your father was a requirement to
uecome a King.
The tribe is the Kuanvama
Ambo natives of Southwest Afri
ca. They have been under study
By Dr. Edwin C. Loeb, and Dr.
Charles L. Camp, of the Univer
sity of California.
The scientists found two rea
sons why civilization as known
by those on the outside is infil
trating into the Kuanyama Am
bos. One is the fact that the na
tives have learned about money
and what It can buy: and the
other is the hiring of Kuanyama
to no contract labor for white
men, thus bringing in new ideas.
The tribe still believes in poly
gamy and in the past the family
head usually had from four to 30
wives. Census records of 1946
show there were 50 per cent more
women than men.
Dr. Loeb says that while wives
are bought with cattle, they have
a nigner status among tne Kuan
yama than in strictly cattle rais
ing societies, because they are
charged with doing the agricul
tural work. Dr. Loeb said that
even so, a man owns not oniy his
cattle, but also his wives, chil
dren and servants.
"Boy" Until Age 85
The Kuanyama home, Dr. Loeb
said, is the kraal, a circular laby
rinth with quarters for headman.
wives, servants and cattle. He
found that a man seldom becomes
a "headman" until after he is 35,
when he may have acquired
enough cattle to be aole to anord
several wives. Until this time, he
is a "boy."
Dr. Loeb said a "divine" king
ruled the tribe until 1917, and
each new king was required to
kill his father. No king was allow
ed to die a natural death, since
the king had control of the wea
ther. It was required, according
to Dr. Loeb, that a king be stran
gled or smothered, since the shed'
ding of royal blood placed a curse
on the tribe.
Today, headmen no longer bury
their wives alive when they have
Incurred displeasure.
With the coming of the white
man into the section, the tribe has
been modifying many of its an
cient customs, Dr. Loeb said. The
natives do keep an eternal flame
burning. It is used in ceremonial
rites. However, black cattle have
been substituted in recent years
for humans on sacrificial occa
sions.

Fighting Breaks
Anew in Palestine
London, March 10 IU'1 Trans-
Jordan reported Wednesday that
lighting had broken out in Pal
estine, where an uncertain truce
has prevailed since early this
year, witn an Israeli force drlv
ing toward the border town of
Aqaba where British troops are
stationed.
The foreign office announced
receipt of word from Amman of
the flareup in Palestine. King Ab
dullah's government handed the
report to the British minister at
Amman, Sir A. Knkbnde.
The scope of the hostilities was
obscure on the basis of the first
report. But it said Israeli and
Trans-Jordan forces had exchanc-
cd gunfire, and that the Israeli
unit was "fighting" it way toward
Aqaba.
Aqaba is a strategic Red sea
port at the head of the gulf of the
same name. It lies in the south
western corner of Trans-Jordan,
across the frontier from the
southernmost tip of Palestine, and
only a few miles from the Sanai
pomnsula of Egypt.
