Houston Schools Still
Using Magruder's Text
Houston, Texas, Oct. 26 W) Houston high school seniors still
had their civics textbook, "American government" today de
spite the Houston school board's vote to ban it.
Attorney Ewing Werlein, the member who cited a paragraph
which the board found objectionable, said they may have to go
(head and use the book at least
temporarily.
He said no other texts are ft
avauaDie ana, oesiaes, civics l
classes for this term already
have studied the section which
has the paragraph complained of.
The paragraph on capitalism
had references In it that might
cause youngsters "to think so
cialism and communism are
good," said Werlein.
The board found it in the
1947 edition.
News of the action caused
comment yesterday from Mrs.
Frank Magruder, wife of the
book's author, that her husband
"definitely is not a communist,"
and "it looks like somebody is
on a witch hunt."
Charles Bacon, senior part
ner of the book's publisher, Al
lyn & Bacon of Boston, said he
believed that the board would
have been satisfied with the 1949
edition's statement about capi
talism. Most of Houston's students
have the 1945 edition the one
adopted after the state textbook
committee bad approved it.
It doesn't have the paragraph
carried by the 1947 edition, but
includes similar material in a
footnote. Increases in enroll
ment caused purchase of some of
the 1947 books, and the board
got hold of one of them. It
took action without noting the
fact two editions of the books
were being used in the schools.
The paragraph in the 1947
edition says the United States
is called a capitalistic society,
but does not have pure capital
ism. It reads in part: "... pos
tal system, power projects, and
progressive taxes are bits of so
cialism: and public free educa
tion and old age assistance are
examples of communism . . ."
Magruder is a retired Oregon
State history professor. The Ore
gon education board said the
book had been standard in that
state for 30 years, and that the
current edition doesn't contain
the reference to communism.

Dr. F. A. Magruder
Magruder's Text
Book Used in City
Even if the administration
considered the book offensive
Salem schools would be com
pelled to continue using the
civics textbook "American Gov
ernment" authored by Dr. Frank
Magruder of Oregon State col
lege which has been placed un
der the ban in Houston, Texas.
In issuing this statement Wed
nesday, Superintendent Frank B.
Bennett said Oregon's public
schols use books as prescribed
by the Oregon textbook commis
sion, changes being made from
time to time.
"I believe that people realize
that our government has certain
socialistic tendencies as pointed
out in Dr. Magruder's book,"
said the superintendent Earlier
in the year he had said that
teachers were given the respon
sibility of instructing their pu
pils concerning the various forms
of government as a matter of in
formation. However, no instruc
tor is permitted to advance per
sonal views.
'Our Town' Picked
For WU Production
"Our Town," by Thornton
Wilder, has been selected by the
drama department at Willamette
university for its December pro
duction and its first play of the
school year. It will be directed
by Ruane Hill, new instructor
in drama and radio at Willam
ette. The story depicts life in Griv
ers Corner, New Hampshire,
bringing to light the background
of centuries of time, social his
tory and religious ideas. Princl-
pal appeal of the play is said to
be its universality, the specta
tor being able to pick out inci
dents of immediate familiarity.
Hill is a member of Pi Epsilon
Delta and is found and first
president of the "Squires" of Be
loit college.

2000 to Be Employed
A t Detroit in Summer
Artnal nourinn of concrete for building the Detroit dam
should start by mid-summer of 1950 if unforeseen obstacles do
not arise.
This information was given Tuesday to 10 representatives of
Salem building trades by officials of Consolidated Builders, inc.
when the labor representative
visited the damsite and were
taken on a tour of the entire
project.
When pouring of concrete
begins it is estimated that as
many as 2000 workers will be
employed on the Job. More of
ficially the number has been
placed at 1500. but some of the
company officials now think
the Battle of Jutland in the first
World War.
His mother, Ethel, was the
only daughter of the late Mar
shall Field. She died in 1932.
leaving him a fortune
that figure is conservative. Ar
rangements are being made for
2000.
About 500 men are now em
ployed on the project. A few
may be added during the winter,
but the number will not go far
past 500 until spring.
Much preliminary construc
tion work is to be done before
concrete pouring can begin. This
includes excavation for the base
of the dam which will have its
bottom 112 feet below the bed
of the North Santiam river.
The Salem building trades
representatives, headed by F.
D. Van Sweringen, executive
secretary of the Salem building
Trades council, met at the dam
site. CBI officials met them
there and took them on a two
hour tour of the project in com
pany cars.
The purpose of the trip was to
discuss matters relative to work
ing conditions now and later and
to get a general perspective of
the project.
At conclusion of the after
noon tour the group of 10 labor
men and eight company repre
sentatives had dinner at the
Manolis cafe near Gates where
questions were asked and an
swered over a period of several
hours.
