OLSON A total of $400,000 has been provided the state board of control by the legislature for acquiring .properties .in the Capitol mall area bordered by Capitol and Winter streets on the east and west and from Court street on the south to Union street on the north. The 1951 legislature ap propriated $250,000 for the same purpose, a sum that was utilized by the board of con trol in acquiring properties owned by persons who desired to sell. The legislature has also granted authority to the board to exchange two pieces of prop erty in the mall for a tract of land owned by the First Presbyterian church eater corner from the present church edifice. To Appraise Values The state-owned property which the church seeks to ac quire in order to expand its church plant is located in the west half of Block 82 and in cludes houses at 388 N.

Column 6) Senate Votes Colleqe Bill The State Senate stayed In session until 7 p.m. Saturday to get rid of one big problem the Board of Education's An derson Report to expand the college program. This legislation, sent to the governor, calls for installing libera arts courses and high school teacher training at the colleges of education in Mon mouth, La Grande and Ash land. It also would put grade teacher training in the Univer ' sity and Oregon State College. That part of the plan was approved 19 to 11. But the part to expand Portland State College harely squeezed through by a 16-14 vote. Portland State, now a two year extension center offering freshman and sophomore courses, will become a four year school. It will have full liberal arts work, plus train ing for grade and high school teachers. But it will remain an exten sion center of the State System of Higher Education, rather than a degree-granting institu tion. Lipman Deal Seems Certain Announcement by the Ge vurtz Furniture Company that it has received notice to vacate the property at 275 North Lib erty street by July 1 seems to confirm rumors that the prop erty, with other adjoining property, has been acquired by Lipman, Wolfe & Co., of Port land. Other property involved in the rumored transaction is that on the southwest corner of the intersection of North Liberty and Chcmekcta and an area along Chemeketa to North Commercial. The rumor was first circu lated from Portland March 18, and said Lipman, Wolfe intend ed to build on the property and establish a department store here.

The authority, issued by the Interstate Commerce Commis sion, went to the Missouri Pa cific Railroad company, the Southern Pacific company, and their affiliated lines. These roads were also au thorized to increase their min imum one-way ticket charge from 15 to 20 cents. Under the ICC order, the railroads may invoke the higher charges on five' days notice to their patrons. The higher fares are esti mated to give the companies about 3 million dollars a year more revenue.

The budget sent to congress by former President Truman had includ ed $151,480,000 for the same projects. The revised budget contains no funds for Ice Harbor lock and dam on the lower Snake river, or for Detroit dam in Oregon, Ellsworth said he was advised army engineers have enough money to com plete the Detroit project with out the $1,275,000 which had been asked. The Truman budget had contained $4,900,- 000 for Ice Harbor.

The first 79 companies to issue earnings statements for the first three months of this year show tholr combined profits after taxes running 13 per cent ahead of the same period last year. Two-thirds of the companies did belter this year than last. Of the 26 whose report cards are poorer, three operated in the red. Last year four of them showed a net loss. The period for which the companies are reporting is the one directly preceding the start of the Kremlin's peace hints. The effect on business production and profits of the peace talks is yet to be record ed. And this year's good show ing is in contrast to last year's poor one. The first three months of 1952 business prof Its were trailing the 1951 first quarter by 9 per cent. That 1951 first quarter, in fact, marked the high point of profits. From that quarter until the third quarter of 1952 profits consistently fell be low their marks of the pre ceding year. BANKER HUGHES APPOINTED Augusta, Ga.
