. Tp Get Tests
Final semester examinations
for students at Willamette uni
versity will begid next Saturday,
much to the discomfort of the
air science classes .that are sched
uled to be the first of the groups
to take them.
, The Air force officers training
corps branch at Willamette will
test its freshman, sophomore, and
junior cadets in the morning at
9.
The rest of the classes net Into
the act Monday throughout the
rest of the week as the profes
sors present to their students ex
aminations which entail every
thing the students were to have
learned during .the semester.
The tests are scheduled to last
two hours and count about half
the student grade. The other half
of the grade is determined by the
student's classroom participation,
and the results of his six-weeks
tests, which cover only the mater
ial of the six-week period in
which they are given.
The regularly scheduled Tues
day convocation and Thursday
chapel have been cancelled for
the following week to enable the
students to have more time for
their last minute studying prior
to exam week.
Social ."dead month", the
month preceeding semester1 tests
wnich allows no dances or par
ties on campus, is now in its sec
ond week and has given the stu
dents little incentive or opportun
ity to want to leave their study
desks until after the tests.
Many students have been re:.
istering for next semester classes
before the set registration date to
avoid the rush of the main stu
dent body, which registers aftet
the tests.

Business Slows
But Signs Show
Spring Boom
Auto, Construction
Down but Steel, Oil
At Peak Levels
By WALTER BREEDE JR.
NEW YORK 11 Business,
which smashed all records in .955,
slowed its breakneck pace this
week. But there were signs that
America's greatest boom would be
rolling in high gear again by
springtime.
Most striking evidence of re
trenchment this week was in the
auto and construction industries.
There was hesitation, too, in Wall
Street. The stock market exper
ienced its sharpest fall since Pr;si
dent Eisnhower's heart attack.
Other key lines, however,
hummed at a fast clip. Steel'
boasted a new weekly production
high of 2,428.000 tons. Production
and refining of crude oil held close
to peak levels; manufacturers of
furniture and home appliances
stepped on the gas.
For a psychological shot in the
arm, industry unfolded plans for
record expansion programs which
added up to a new multibiUion
dollar ' bet on good times ahead.
In the center of the spotlight was
big General Motors Corp., which
will plunk down one billion dol
lars for machinery and other new
lacuities in 1956.
The steel industry backed ud its
belief in continued prosperity with
plans for a three-billion-dollar ex
pansion that will add IS million
tons of new steelmaking capacity
ty the end of 1958. It s the biggest
expansion the steel industry has
ever undertaken in peacetime,
Also indicating confidence in the
future was President Eisenhow
er's budget message. In the fiscal
year starting July 1. he estimated
Uncle Sam's tax take should total
66 one third billion 'dollars a gain
of 1 billions over the current fis
cal year. If the estimate
correct, wages, salaries and prof
its will have to Co hieher ton. h
cause that's where most of taxes
come from.
Here's how the general pattern
of business in 1956 shaped up this
week: auto sales and home con
struction will be down from fast
year's peaks, but rising activity in
other lines will more than take
up the slack.
The upward trend of General
business showed up on steel pro
oucers oooks tnis week, cutbacks
in the auto industry notwithstand
ing. Fighting for all the steel thev
could get were such big users as
nome appliance makers, freight
car builders, and producera of oil
and natural gas.

Leadership of
Ike Receives
Dewey Praise
BALTIMORE UTt Thomas E.
Dewy pictured President Eisen
hower and the pational administra
tion last night as a "leader and a
government who issue no Invita
tions to war by creating power
vacuums.
Dewey, former governor of New
York who was the Republican pre
sidential candidate in 1944 and
1948, said "the aggressor knows,
at last, that if he starts a con-
quest he will be opposed by over-
wneiming lorce.
Addressing a tlOO-a-plate "Sal.
ute to Eisenhower" dinner in Bal
timore, Dewey said .this has been
'the great change" since Presi
dent Eisenhower entrd the White
House three years ago.
Dictators, he said in a televised
speech, "do not embark on wars
unless they expect to win."
"If they know they will be op
posed by overwhelming force, they
ao not risk their necks In aggres
sion," he said.
That Is why the Soviets now
sing of peace, of trade, of peace
ful coexistence. The political
weakness of America as a leader
of the free world has come to an
end." .
In the same vein, Dewey1 fired an
answering salvo to recent critics
of John Foster Dulles' "brink of
war" statements.-
"At this moment we are reading
violent speeches by some who
seem determined to' destroy the
unity of our bipartisan forign pol
icy," he said; -
"There are some eager candi
dates who would like to isolate and
attack a word or a phrase attrib
uted to the secretary of state to
divert attention from the peace
and prosperity our nation is en
joying. . "I am sure you have been pro
foundly Impressed, as I have, by
the sudden flowering on the front
pages of this crop of experts In
foreign affairs of whose ex
perience in that area we had not
previously been aware.
I am sad to report to you that
closer examination will reveal that
their expertness lies in the parsing
of sentences and not in saving the
peace of the world."
Dewey was asked after his
speech how he felt about reports lie
might be a candidate for either of
the two top spots on the 1956 Re
publican presidential ticket.
"Why, that's just nonsense," he
replied. . . , ' "

Terry Schrunk
; May Run For
Mayor's Office
Terry D. Schrunk, sheriff of
Multnomah County, indicated here
Friday night that he probably will
choose to run for mayor of Port
land rather than secretary of state.
bchrunk was here as one of the
speakers at a meeting of the Marion-Polk
Democratic Club, which
he urged to be careful in selecting
candidates for office at the local
level. "Horse sense" is needed in
politics, he said.
- Schrunk said he probably would
be a candidate either for Portland
mayor or secretary of state, and
that campaign and family finances
would have an influence on- his
decision. He indicated that the '
mayoralty was more probable.
He did not say whether the an
nounced candidacy of Monroe
Sweetland, another Democrat,
would influence his choice of the
two offices.
