'Black Ice'
'. ' Many local residents never, heard the term "black
'. Ice" until this past week end. v,
' It was mentioned frequently by investigating state
police and others Saturday when six cars skidded from
U.S. Highway 97 in the Bend-Redmond area, leaving a
trail of injured motorists and wrecked automobiles.
' Yet "black ice" is an old term. It is a compact, trans
! parent ice, so the dictionary notes.
It is also a deadly ice. The type that forms on high.
ways is not quite like the transparent sheet that forms on
calm water in arctic weather.
' The "black ice" that sent cars plunging into jagged
' rocks and roadside ditches apparently formed after ice
! prvstals from focr melted on the asphalt pavement, then
', froze.
! . - This freezing occurred only in a few areas, with fast,
'.' dry road between. Motorists suddenly coming on the glazed
! surface applied brakes. Then occurred the wrecks.
Several of the cars went out of control in attempted
nassinjr of other cars. Four wrecks occurred in 20 min
utes.
Black ice is a dangerous ice on highways, primarily
because it is not visible in daylight. Under car headlights
at night it becomes a "glare ice".
"Black ice" is not confined to Central Oregon roads.
It is found on many western highways in winter.
It serves as a warning to motorists that winter speeds
should be moderated.

Junior Colleges for Oregon
. Any legislator who arrived in Salem on Jan. 14 not
' knowing the full scope of the problems that faced the
Oregon legislature would have been completely out of
touch with all mediums of communication and with most
of the people who elected him. No hermits were elected
to the legislature, so we can assume that all senators and
representatives are fully aware that taxation and educa
tion will be the prime problems and that taxation prob
lems are the restlt in large part of school problems. Any
, legislator who knows exactly how to solve those problems
will' please step forward Immediately.
Several proposals have been made for increasing and
distributing by a different formula basic school support
funds. Seems to us it is inevitable that basic school sup-
port will be increased and that will require added tax
dollars. A greater need for funds has been presented by
'. the state board of higher education. The state's institu
tions of higher education must have more funds for facul
:ty saan'es it they are to keep good teachers and attract
-others as growing" enrollments demand larger faculties.
Here again, it seems obvious that the legislature will pro-
-vide increased appropriations for higher education. To
! -do otherwise would be inexcusably shortsighted.
There's another part of the education picture. De
1 mands are certain to be made of the legislature for a
! junior college program. Perhaps only a beginning of a
.junior college program will be sought but those who see
; ;the need for it are not likely to be satisfied with a "let's
; wait a while and see" answer from the legislature.
; ; This legislature will recognize, as others have, that
J -.the needs of the existing program must be met first. Pri-
mary and secondary school needs and those of the existing
-institutions of higher education must first be' answered.
.Not much may be left for something new, a junior college
', 'program. The legislature may decide that those commun
l lities that want junior colleges must assume at this time
the full financial responsibility within their communities.
; In some communities it may be decided the need is suf
; ficient that local sponsorship is necessary. Whatever de-
-yclops this year a junior collego program is on the way
. in this state. There are several good and adequate reasons
that Oregon should have some junior colleges. This cdi-
:.torial from the Christian Science Monitor sets forth
New Jersey's Senator Cllltord P. Case urges the federal
government to channel aid to publicly supported two yenr
collcges, at least until they have Weathered (and served) the
tidal wave ol "war babies" due to reach college in the next
live years.
These are "junior colleRes." And while the whole matter
of federal aid may be debatable, there In no doubt, U aid is
given, that these junior colleges can fill a need.
Thousands of young men und women color universities and
lour year colleges with no firm intention of staying through
to a degree - and often with no clear idea of whether they
arc fitted by aptitudes or preparation to stake that much time.
Rightly planned and administered, the junior college is tail
ored to meet that i,eH. Many young folk can be benefited bv
two years beyond high school. But the benefit is les-ivd if
subjects become to them like half-told tales. If they end their
college careers by "qultualion" instead of graduation and spend
the rest of their lives explaining.
Junior college courses am be rounded out. And junior col
lege graduation can recognize a task undertaken and completed
on its own terms. (East Oregonian Pendleton)

Malenkov Appears fo Have
Made Comeback Politically
By CIIARLKS M. MOCANN
United l'resfi Staff Ctorrewpondciit
Russia's Georgi M. Malenkov
seems to have made a big politi
cal comeback.
Ever since he resigned as premi
er on Feb. 8, 1955, Malenkov had
been in partial eclipse.
But his attendance at the im
portant meeting of Communist
leaders in Budapest last week in
dieated pretty clearly that he has
been restored to first rank in So
viet leadership.
One reason apparently is that
Malenkov kept his head during the
long argument among Soviet lead
ers over Nikita S. Khruschev s
course in repudiating Josef Sta
lin's methods of dictatorship.
Another is that Malenkov prob
a'bly is the smartest of the 11 men
the inner leadership of the
Kremlin.
When Malenkov resigned so dra
matically as Stalin's heir in the
prime ' ministry, he said he was
inadequate for the job.
ItolufJHl In Kank
Malenkov was reduced to the'
rank of an ordinary deputy premi
er 'behind several first deputies
and made minister for electric
power stations.
He remained a member of the
inner collective leadership. But
men like Khrushchev, the Iirs
secretary of the Communist Party,
and 'Nikolai A. Bulganin, who sue-'
ceeded him as premier, did the
talking and represented the Krem
lin on visits abroad.
Malenkov did make a visit to
Great Britain. But he did so in his
capacity of minister for .he power
stations, to visit Brtllsn atomic
and other installations.
Last week's Budaipest meeting
marked the launching ofa new So
viet policy line toward he Eas"
European satellite countries.
The choice of Malenkov to ac
company Khrushchev to that meet
ing, which brought together the
Communist leaders of Russia
Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Ro
mania and Bulgaria certainly is
significant.
He would hardly have been
chosen unless he had made a full
comeback.
This does not necessarily mean
that there is to be any formal
chancre in the present Kremlin
line-up.
Khrushchev's Job S.nfe
Khrushchev seems to 'be safe in
his idb as Communist Party first
secretary despite the East Euro
pean revolts which resulted from
his down - grading of Stalin. -There
has (been no sign -that Bulganin.
who supported Khrushchev in the
down - grading policy, .is likely to
lose the prime ministry.
But it is entirely likely that
some day Malenkov may get back
that job or may replace Khrush
chev as tirst secretary. For a
short time af'.er Stalin's death
Malenkov was first secretary as
well as premier.
