Jonuory 12, 1956 The Man From Burns Every few years there strolls into our office a chap We consider one of Oregon's most interesting persons. lie is Marvin Klemme, who claims Burns as his home because he votes there. Actually his home is gen erally across the Atlantic. Recently he dropped in for another "hello." This time he is on a two-months leave from the State Depart ment, with Africa as his background. Last time he was in the office he was fresh from Greece, after supervising some grazing work around r Mount Olympus, where gods played in mythical days and - hurled bolts into clouded skies. Olympus is still the target of lightning, Mr. Klemme ' 71- !tmI,tnH in imnnunding water from the JIUIUU. 11V wan nticvo'-i'W i Olympian storms, lor use on grazing lands. This time Marvin Klemme, world traveler, ex-marine, .,w nnd once a candidate for congress from the sec- : ond Oregon district, is home from Angolia, Portuguese wt. Africa. . He has been studying possible sources of water in the land where flocks and game m.graie u j u v, Krinifl recommendations for drilling nnd reservoir work that should result in a new market . a marli'nn.miulG machinery. Marvin Klemme is not only a conservationist abroad, but he is nn observer, who notes his observations in a little diary. In Angolia, ho observed, arms of many of the natives are deformed. The reason? "The Portuguese government does not permit the na tives to own firearms. So they fight lions and other big game In Neanderthal style with spears. Frequently the lions emerge as the winners in these combats. ' Eventually, when he retires, Marvin Klemme plans to write another book or two. These will deal with his ex periences abroad. We hopo hb also finds time to write the story of an interesting person, Marvin Klemme. A good title for that book would be "The Man from Burns." ' ' The Lasf Lop AROAB.D UNITED FLIGHT 520 The "flat wheel iiPi'ia" oncratcd by the Great Northern between the Northwest and Chicago -ground to a halt in Chicago's Union Station yesterday, late enough so that most of its passengers had missed their connections further east. Because of the lateness, our two-man Pacific North west delegation to a Columbia university seminar decided to stay in Chicago overnight and fly on to New 1 oi k early today. Eevn by sUiying overnight we will arrive at our final destination several hours sooner than we would have on the substitute train schedule we would have had to set up. (The only drawback to the now arrangement was a 7 a.m. takeoff time from Chicago's Midway airport fol lowing a large Saturday evening spent with some old friends. We managed to live through it, however, really none the worse for wear.) Our trip in from Minneapolis on the train, however, was un interesting one, and both of us agreed that we wero glad we had made it in spite of the two cars on the train which developed flat wheels and slowed down the journey. (Flat wheels, the conductor told us, are caused when the engineer hits the brakes on the train a little too hard This causes uneven wear over that portion of a pair of wheels which lock and skid along the tracks until the brake is released. This flat portion of the wheels then pound and pound, getting worse all the time until (he car is sent to the shops for replacement of the defective Wheels.) The last part of our train trip gave us a good in Bight into the set of outlying muscles which make the midwest area probably the country's strongest. Northern Illinois is covered with the most prosperous looking set of farms we ever had seen anywhere. Appar ently most of the farmers in the area operate a farm-pasture-livestock rotation program, because we saw lots of corn stubble, pasture land, hogs and cattle, .lust as apparently most of them buy feeder stock and fatten it for market, since we saw only one calf on the trip. Most of them are highly mechanized, too. We saw only one horse in a country that 20-o0 years ago was full of them. The houses and barns were big buildings, in good repair and all well painted. Lightening rods stuck up from all the buildings, an indication of the summer thunder showers which visit the region and provide the necessary moisture for growing crops in this area which uses, and lias, little irrigation water. Trying to make up for lost time the train really whooped along. One clocked mile was covered in a little Under 50 seconds, nearly 90 miles an hour. Then closer to Chicago, we began to run into tow ns. finally so many of them it was impossible to tell where one ended and the next began, Small industries by their standards, large ones by ours were scattered over the landscape. It was gelling dark when we pulled into Chicago, to be met by an old service friend and a newspaper friend from Denver. Our two-man delegation joined them for dinner and a late evening of interesting conversation. It was the lateness which made us hute to get up at 5:15 this mornini; to catch the plane. No Trouble Getting Out of Bed These Days Your y Congressman Says . . . Bv SAM COON Hi i f Edson In Washington Higher Education Meet Eyed By FF.TKK KDSOX KE Washington Oorrenpoiidcnt WASHINGTON (NEA) A White House conference on higher educa tion is now being considered. It would ntm to do for colleges and universities what this year's White House Conference on Education did for grade and high schools. Secretary of Health, Education1 nnd Welfare Marion B. Kolsom mentioned a second conference in his first meeting with the press. He gave credit to Roy E. Larson, president of Time and new chair- mnn of the r una tor Advancement of Education for originating the idea in a recent Boston speech, Folsom said his primary Interest was in finding ways to assist gifted students to advanced training. But the whole range of higher educa tion pmblems is being explored. Where and how are more college instructors to be obtained? How can tllieir salaries be increased : What can be done to get more and bolter housing on campuses? How ran the growing college-age popu lation and the increasing demand for higher education be taken care of? The last item is most imwrtant of all. By 19(13, U. S. colleges and uni versities will be crowded beyond Ihcir capacity. The first postwar, bumper baby rop the t.! million youngsters born in 19 Hi will be reaching col lege entrance age in 101-1 and 190,1, Since l!Mfi the birth rate has risen steadily. If tfhe present 30 per cent rate ot enrollment con tinues, attendance will rise from '2. j million this year to 3.1 million in P.Hu and 4.2 million by 1970. This will be hard enough, but new forces are now at work to raise the percentage. The rising standard of living swells it. Business and government are demanding more scientists and engineers. Universities need more highly educated Instructors. There ,uv shortages of doctors and pm fcssionatly trained peuple even to day. So if "0 per ivnt of the high school grads should seek higher education, accommodations will be needed for 3.5 million students in WW), 1.7 million in 1965. u whop ping 0 7 million in 1970. These simple figures show what a Wlnte House Conference on High er Education would have to talk about. The present, completely tenta tive, plans indicate that a recom mendation to made in the reports on this year's White House Con ference on Education. They are now being drafted by lYesidenl Ei senhower's 3-1-memher Commission on Education, under the ch.iirniHn ship of Neil H. McElroy of Procter St Gamble. KoKom s.iys the President wilt send Congress a speeial message on education e;nly in liVrfi Uecom mending action for a White House Conference on higher education could be included. If it is, special legislation and appropriations would be necessary to set up the machinery. State con ferences would then be heldin 1956. ! The White House Conference would: then follow in 1957. In any studies of higher educa tion, the question of "How much federal aid?" arises. Privately en dowed colleges believe the federal government must be kept out if1 freedom of education is to be main tained. In the opposite corner is the view that the job nhead is too big for private schools to handle, and the national interest demands some federal aid. One thing seems fairly certain: If private colleges and univer sities don't meet the demand, uni versities supported by state and federal government funds will hav to do the job.

Ohio Supreme Court to Review Sheppard Case COLUMBUS. Ohio (UP) Dr. Samuel H. Sheppard today held new hope to win his freedom fol lowing a decision by the Ohio Su preme Court to review his second-j degree murder conviction. The handsome 32-year-old osteo path was convicted of the bludgeon I slaying of his wife, Marilyn, a year ago last December after one of the most sensational murder trials of modern times. Although Sheppard admitted to newsmen in an unusual press con ference at Ohio Penitentiary that he could never again live a "full and normal life," it was obvious he was looking forward to the day when he might rejoin his 'eight-, year-old son. Chip. I However, he said he did not want, his son to come and visit him even though it was permitted by prison regulations. I don't want Chip's picture in the paper," he said, "and I don't want stories about him visiting his1 father in prison, much as I would love to see him." Sheppard met with newsmen only a few hours after the Ohio Supreme Court announced its willingness to review the case. The court, after studying the record, will determine whether he gets a new trial or the life prison sentence stands. ! Sheppard said he was convinced that "some day" the killer of his wife would confess to the crime. He said this was based on an "in ner hope, an inner feeling, not something I have material knowl edge of." His wife. Marilyn was murdered; his father later died, and his moth er committed suicide. Chip and Sheppard's two ibrothers are the only Immediate members of his family left. Mint Growers Set Session At Corvallis u rowing interest in mint nro- nuction in scattered areas of Ore- yon gives a statewide flavor to the venth annual meeting of the Oregon Essential Oil Growers' League, Jan. 19 and 20, at Ore gon Stale college. New plantings In Jefferson and Josephine counties, along with ex pansion in the Willamette' Valley and the tlcrmistou and Ontario areas, gave more than a 10 per cent acreage increase in Oregon last year, according to C.E. Hor ner, OSC plant pathologist and tragtie secretary. Optimism was sparked by the highest mint oil prices in recent 'years. A highlight of this year's con ference, says I lomcr, is an en eouraging report on chemical weed control lo reduce costly and time ironsuming weeding of mint fields. Research trials by Dave Chilcotc and William Furtick. OSC agrono mists, indicate excellent weed con trol with new chemicals the first found that control n wide variety of weeds without damaging mint plants. Also of major interest will lie a report on'cnntrol of mint inst, the most destructive mint disease it Oregon. Leo Campbell of the West em Washington experiment sta tion, Puyallup, will give research findings of early spring application i t a weed con t rol chem ic.d to I kill overwintering rust snores.

Yield, oil flavor, nisi re sistance and g ( the varieties included in tin The John Day Dam project was recommended for action this year by President Eisenhower in his State of the Union message. I think it is pretty important that the President is watching out for the specific needs of Oregon to the extent that our project is one of only three in the whole United States mentioned by name for quick action. The second session of a Con gress, such as we have this year. is the time when most attention is paid to bills benefiting specific localities. So I expect to get action on several special bills of bene fit to the Second District. It was wonderful to get home during the Congressional recess. What I enjoyed the most was see ing in person so many of my con stituents all over the district. You remember that Senator Neu berer wrote me a letter and chal lenged me to debate with him. I told him I'd debate him in every place, at every cross roads in Eastern Oregon because I never ran away from a fight in my life when I thought I was right. I debated with him up and down back and forth across my district, every night in a different county. We debated in 10 counties and then I went on alone and talked in 7 more counties where the peo ple wanted lo hear about the John Day Bill. The great need for Federal high way legislation was stressed bv the President in his State of the Union message. I am glad that he is pushing hard for better roads. Speaking of roads, my good friend Mr, R. H. Baldock of Sa lem, State Highway Engineer, had lunch with me Thursday. He is in town in the interests of high way legislation to help our state. Farm legislation is the most: vital domestic issue we will tackle; this year. The problems of low prices for farm products and of! surpluses worry me deeply. I have) been a rancher most of my lifej and worked in farm organizations.! So I have a personal interest in helping to work out a program i which will allow the farmer an in-1 come in proportion to that of the; rest of our population. 1 I hope that the farm problem will be approached on a bi-partisan or non-partisan basis. Making a political football of this issue can harm those we need to help. President Eisenhower said t!iat a tax reduction should wait until we have a balanced budget which makes some provision for reduc ing the national debt. I agree with him wholeheartedly. As I pointed out in my radio talk last week, as taxpayers we pay more than $7 billion a year in interest on our debt. In times of peace and pros-, perity we should take steps lo pay some installments on what we owe. BAGHDAD, Iraq (UP) Dele gates from five Baghdad Pact na tions and teams of atomic experts met here today to study means of putting teeth in the anti-Communist alliance that links Britain, Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Pakistan. Hopes of drawing Jordan into the pact dimmed following a weekend of rioting there against the pact and a declaration by new Jordan Premier Sarrur el Rifa that he would not "indulge in high polities like negotiating foreign alliances." The two-day meeting of the pact members was the first "working session" since the British foreign minister and prime ministers of the'four other nations formally set up the "northern tier, defense grouj? last Nov. 21. The Baghdad Pact, which has the backing of the United States- represented by observers was formed to counter any Communist aggression in the Middle East. It stretches across the southern fron tier of Russia. The groups of experts who drew up a series of recommendations to link the nations more closely in economy and defense finished their reports only Monday night. If to day s representatives okay them they will be sent to the various home governments for final ap proval. The British delegation included H. Putman, an atomic expert from Britain s nuclear energy establish ment at Harwell. Pakistan and Turkey also sent atomic experts, indicating the peaceful uses of nu clear energy will command an im portant part in the two-day dis cussions. Britain, which heavily under writes the Arab Legion of Jordan, had hoped to bring that small arab nation into the pact .but Commu nist - fomented disorders brought the fall of three governments with in a month. Jordan -itself was reported still tense though heavily armed Arab Legionnaires patrolled the desert kingdom. A strict curfew and cen sorship was in effect and the only direct news came from Jordan Radio.

Additional Farm Help Sought WASHINGTON (UP) Some Midwest Republicans have secret ly insisted to President Kisenhow er's congressional lieutenants that Midwest farmers need more im mediate help than is provided in the administration's new farm program. They (jenerally agreed the ad ministration's program is fine for the long run but complained it does not provide enough immed iate relief. Several uiijed more government aid to bolster farm prices for hard pressed farmers having trouble meeting payments on bank loans. These and other suggestions were put forward, largely by Mid westerners, at a secret, three-hour meeting late Tuesday attended bv about .10 House Republican strate gists nnd farm experts from al sections of the coutWry. 1 louse Republican Leader Jos eph W. Martin. Jr.. (Mass) invited to Die meeting the House Republi can Policy Commit tin; and all Re publicans on the House AgricuK ture Committee and the Houw Agriculture Appropriations sub-! committee. Alartin apparently wanted to! insure support of Republican farm1 specialists for the President's pro gram in advance of calling all. House GOP members behind, closed doors today to discuss it The main feature of th admin istration's many-facets farm pro gram is a "soil hank." It- would provide payments to farmers to take land out of prMuction with the ultimate goal of eliminating price-depressing crop surpluses. Martin told a reporter he thought all of the mem hers "generally- an proved" Ihe President's program The decline in hog prices his worried Midwest Republican more than anything else. Farm prices for hos averaged $10.60 pei hundred pounds in mid-IVrember compared with $17 a year earlier. .1 AAlimtLiiMmmn, im m 'Mil M further reductions In u i Nationally Advertised i FOR WOMEN So Bel SANDALS ENTIRE STOCK Regular 14.95 Reg. 10.95 to 12.95 Reg. 8.95 to 10.95 NOW Air Step NOW Life Stride DRESS SHOES NOW J98 J98 6 98 Air Step end Life Stride CASUALS Reg. 7.95 to 9.95 Values to 10.95 NOV 200 Pair DRESS CASUALS NOW 98 3 00 FOR CHILDREN Duster Crown end Robin Hood 3" Reg. 5.50 to 6.95 NOW FOR MEN Rob!ee and Pedwin DRESS' SHOES Values to" 14.95 NOW 6 00 ALL SALES FINAL! .
