Fugitive Czech Students
Find Asylum on WU Campus
Mr. and Mn. Leopold Pospisil, young Ciech students who were
forced to flee their native land because of their anti-communist
activities have found asylum on Willamette university campus.
The young couple reached Salem Monday and are now in
the process of being registered in the liberal arts department.
I, -3oth are well educated.
Pospisil, 26 years of age. was
former secretary of the Benes
party of Czechoslovakia as well
as secretary of the Society of
Friends of the United States.
Prior to being compelled to
leave his native land he had
completed all but one course in
law at Charles university,
Prague. At Willamette he will
be classified as an upper divi
sion student and will work to
ward a BA degree.
Mrs. Pospisil, with not quite
as much educational background
as her husband, expects to study
philosophy, music and kindred
subjects. She has had eight
years of German, five years of
French and four years of chem
istry and physics.
Pospisil is the son of a Czech
barrister who was arrested in
1939 by the Germans and later
confined in the Dachau and
Buchenwold concentration
camps. Two uncles were simi
larly treated while the son was
investigated frequently because
of his known anti-communistic
sentiments. He became a farmer
in 1945 in order to preclude the
possibility of being sent to a
German labor camp.
The two Pospisils escaped
across the border into Germany
1948 and entered the Mas-
aryk school for displaced stu
dents in one of the occupied
zones in Germany. They were
brought to this country through
funds subscribed to the world
student service fund and their
living expenses in Salem are be
ing underwritten by five down
town Portland churches First
Methodist, First Unitarian, First
Congregational, First Presby
terian and First Christian.
Willamette university is pro
viding the tuition for Pospisil.
School Name
HurfsWoodburn
The people of Woodburn are
sore about naming the state
training school for boyi after
their town.
The last legislature changed
the name of the school, located
at Woodburn, to the Woodburn
Bovs' school. It had been called
the State Training School for
Bovs before that.
William Ryan, supervisor of
state institutions, told the board
of control today that wooden
signs containing the new name
are being torn down constantly
by irate Woodburnites.
Ryan told the board he's go
ing to put up steel signs from
now on.
James Lamb, superintendent
of the school, complied with re
quests by townspeople that he
blow the school whistle when
ever a boy escapes. The whistle
used to be blown, but Lamb had
topped the practice.
Pineapple Barge
At Tillamook
Tillamook, Ore., Sept. 27 P)
A pineapple barge from Ha
waii slipped into port here some
time during the night and today
began unloading, hours before
CIO pickets caught up with the
maneuver.
CIO longshoremen, alerted
along the coast to watch for "hot
cargo" from Hawaii, where a
dock strike has been In effect
more than 100 days, rushed into
the city from Astoria in mid
morning and set up a picket
line.
Unloading continued, how
ever, and there was no violence.
A spokesman said unloading
would be completed at 4 p.m.
Meanwhile another pineapple
barge from Hawaii lay in the
Columbia river at The Dalles.
Ore., without activity. Long
shoremen had detected it and
had a picket line waiting when
the barge was moored.
The barge here was owned by
the Sause Bros. Towing service
of nearby Garibaldi. A com
pany spokesman said the barge
held 350 tons of canned pine
apple, which bore the stamp of
Schuckl E. S. S. company.
The spokesman said the barge
came in last night after a 13
day trip. It did not dock at
town, but ran 1 V4 miles up the
Tillamook river, about two
miles south of town. There eight
laborers began the unloading,
assisted by a derrick.
Two trucking firms were on
hand, carrying the pineapple
away to an unannounced destination.

Town of Dexter Fears
It Will Be Deserted
Eugene, Sept. 27 W The
town of Dexter is having traffic
trouble, but the problem is not
one of too much traffic. City
fathers fear there will be too lit
tle and that if something is not
done there will be almost none.
The relocated Willamette high
way misses Dexter, 18 miles up
the Willamette river from Eu
gene. Access roads have been
provided from the new higrway
south to the old one, but Ddxter
says it "ain't fair." The new
highway goes through a cut, and
the motorist will not even be
able to see Dexter,
Don Madisons
Cross Alaska
Mr. and Mrs. Don Madison,
266 North Capitol, returned
home Monday after a unique va
cation trip that took them the
entire length of the Alcan high
way by automobile and across
the Arctic circle by airplane. The
trip was one of unusual exper
iences and thrills.
Mr. and Mrs. Madison left
Salem the Sunday before Labor
day. Arriving in Canada they
started the Alcan highway drive
at Dawson Creek, Alberta, and
drove Its entire length of 1523
miles to Fairbanks.
Some trouble caused by con
struction in spots and snow in
others was encountered on the
highway. Once they had to pull
out of the road into snow 18
inches deep to let a snowplow
get by, and the snowplow pulled
them back to the highway when
they got stalled. Another time
they had aid from a caterpillar
tractor on a stretch of construc
tion. There were many miles on
the highway where travel was
hampered by dust.
At Fairbanks they and an
other passenger chartered a
four-seater plane and its owner
pilot flew them on a day's flight
that took them across the Arctic
Circle. They were comfortable
at all times aboard the plane,
they report. Included in the
plane trip was Circle City which
is i warm spot In the far north
because of warm springs. Fine
gardens and a swimming pool
are features of the place. They
also made Fort Yukon, location
of a missionary station maintain
ed by the Episcopal church.
On the return they drove the
Richardson and -Glen highways.
From Fairbanks they drove to
Anchorage, then the Glen high
way and Tok Junction road to
White Horse where they shipped
their car and traveled by narrow
gauge railroad to Skagway, then
by boat to Prince Rupert. From
Prince Rupert they drove the
Fraser River highway.
Beavers Busy
Building Dams
It's those dam beavers again,
complains Mrs. Ray Coglan, own
er of the Colgan Construction
company at Mill City.
They are building dams fas
ter again than the Consolidat
ed Builders, Inc., but are not so
particular.
The trouble started on the
small creek that feeds Rock
creek through the sand and grav
el firm's location at the old mill
pond.
Beaver dams caused flooding
of the plant area and one nicely
constructed structure nearly In
undated the power plant.
Coming to the rescue was W.
E. Holderman, Corvallis, state
trapper. He caught four alive
and transferred them to the Al
sea district where their construc
tion work will not conflict with
that of man.
Everything is now dam quiet
again at Mill City.

Good Job Done
In New India
That new India is doing a
wonderful Job of establishing
and maintaining a government
although there is much corrup
tion in evidence, was the asser
tion of Dr. Victor Hugo Sword
during a talk before the Salem
Kiwanis club Tuesday noon.
Dr. Sword, interim pastor of
Calvary Baptist church of Salem,
spent 20 years in India as a mis
sionary and but recently return
ed to this country. He declared
that the men at the helm in In
dia are capable and Intelligent.
However they are faced with
many maladjustments in that
country. "I know of no nation
that has made so much progress
in such a short space of time,"
he declared.
Speaking of the some 1500
Indian students In this country,
studying technical subjects, Dr.
Sword said their presence here
constituted a great opportunity
for the United States to wield an
important influence in India.
He said that India, in her new
program is "very American conscious."
Dr. Sword predicted that the
time -was not far distant when
India would constitute a world
asset rather than a liability.
