The seventh and deciding game will be played at Ebbets Field Wednesday. " - Robinson's hit broke up a bril liant pitching duel between Bob Turley of the Yanks and Clem Labine of the Dodgers, ft was only the fourth hit off Turley, who was in occasional trouble, because of wildncss but struck out eleven. Labine, touched for five hits in the first four innings, yielded only seven in all. Walks to Gilliam and Duke Sni der, the latter intentional, paved the way for Robinson's winning 'blow, which sailed over the head of left fielder Enos Slaughter and hit the left field wall. It was the first extra-inning World Series game since the open er of the 1954 series between the New York Giants and Cleveland Indians and first extra-inning snut out in series play since the Gi anls heat the Philadelphia Athle tics 3-0 in ten innings, on October 8 1913.' ' A crowd of 33.224 thrilled as Labine and Turley battled through nine scoreless innings with hardly a scoring threat by either team. The Yanks got two men on base In the sixth inning and again in the eighth but failed to get a run ner past second. The Dodgers didn't get a man as far as second until- the sixth inning, when they drew two walks. In the eighth Labine got ornnnri rule double on a hit that bounced into the .stands and Sni der was intentionally passed, but they also were left stranded. Big Don Newcombe (27-7) is Brooklyn Manager Walt Alston's choice for the seventh and decid ing game. Yankee Manager Casey Stengel did not oisciose nis putn- er immediately.

LINDBECK Capital Journal Special Writer ' Adoption of a "more realistic" policy for the admission of stu dents into Oregon's high schools was advocated by Roland A. Parks, president of . the Oregon Association of Secondary School Principals in his annual .report presented at this morning s session of the association's annual conven tion at the Marion hotel. Parks, who is superintendent oi schools at Bandon, told the school administrators that what is needed is a policy that "will keep those with any chance and eliminate the rotten apples in tne Darrei. Advocates Law Repeal He advocated repeal of the pres ent compulsory school law. "Put the law back to 16 years or make it like the basic law in traffic," he urged. "Maybe some 14-yeor-olds should be denied ad mittance to schools." "The biggest cancer in our high schools today is the battle the teachers and administrators have in trying to make silk purses out of sows ears. "When a teacher or administra tor goes home at night ready to give up the profession you can usually pin the trouble down to problems concerning students and teachers who should never be al lowed inside a school building. Training Program Needed A better program of training ed ucators for administrative posi tions was also advocated by Parks. Principals for many of the larger high schools in Oregon were not hired until July this year when the vacancies were an nounced as early as February. There are very few qualilied men available,'' Parks declared in advocating a system of farm clubs somewhat on the order, of those maintained by big league baseball teams. .Urges Higher Salaries Parks also urged higher salaries for school principals and admin istrators, pointing out that many high school coaches in Oregon now .receive larger salaries than does the principal ot the school, sala ries for school administrators in Oregon, he said, lag behind those in other Pacific coast states, Parks also recommended that the present policy of employing school administrators on a one- year salary be changed to three year contracts. He, also went on record as opposed to dismissing high school students from school in order to attend meetings of youth organizations. These meet ings, he declarea, snouia oe neia during school vacations. A workshop session on school law occupied the attention of the school administrators at this morning's session. On the work shop panel answering questions were Dr. Hester Turner, associate professor of education at Lewis & Clark college; Gerald Mcindl, Portland attorney and J. L. Turn bull, assistant superintendent of public instruction. Keef Digs at President on Health Issue 3 IP Dams Okayed by U.S. Court Appelate Judges Refuse to V6id FPC License WASHINGTON Ifl The U. S Court ot Appeals Tuesday upheld legality of the Idaho Power Co.'s construction license lor three dams in Hells . Canyon on the Snako River. The court turned down a re quest by public power groups that a license granted by the f ederal Power Commission (FPC) be set aside and the stretch of the Snake River along the ldaho-0 r e g o n border be reserved for a bigger government dam. The next step in the long and bitter fight between private and public power advocates a prime political issue in the Pacific North westis certain to be an appeal to the Supreme .Court. Action Promised Earlier Attorneys for the National Hells Canyon Assn. and other public power groups opposing Idaho Pow er Co. have said they would take the case to the Supreme Court if they lost in the lower court The Supreme Court took a hand in the case last August when Justice Black dismissed a motion to stop construction of one of the three dams involved. Black al lowed Idaho Power to put up a bond and give written assurances that it would not sue the govern ment if its construction license later were voided by the courts. After a year-long hearing, the FPC gave Idaho Power its license last year to build three projects the company estimates would cost 133 million dollars and add nearly 800,000 kilowatts of generating ca pacity to its power system.

Boys Confess Setting Fatal School Blaze CHEHALIS, Wash. W) Supt. Erick Yarchin said Tuesday "one or two" youthful' inmates set a fire that killed a 16-year-old Bel fair, Wash, youth Monday night at the State Training School for Boys. Yarchin quoted one boy as say ing he "did it for kicks" after a rumpus at. a maximum security cottage. The superintendent did not name those accused of starting the fire. but he said they were among nine boys held in the Lewis County jail here awaiting action tyr county authorities, Richard Vanderpool, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Vanderpool of Bel fair, died of burns and smoke in halation. He was one of five young inmates trapped tempor arily on the second floor of the building. Yarchin said the trouble began with youngsters throwing alumi num mess trays. He said George Gage, a cottage "parent," told boys who wanted to avoid the rumpus to get upstairs. Several did so, and were locked in indiv idual rooms. In the conluston, Yarchin add ed, "one or two boys" went into the TV room, put paper under rubber chair cushions and lighted It flared immediately Dulles Sights Scant Hope of Suez Solution As Long as Egypt Uses Canal as Instrument Of Its Policy UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. Ifl - Secretary of State Dulles said Tuesday there is little chance of settling the Suez problem so long as it is possible for any nation to use the vital waterway as an instrument of its national policy. Dulles told the U.N. Security Council that this is the heart of the problem and tlie first step should be an acceptance by all parties of the principle that a sys tem should be set up to ensure against any such action. He did not flatly, reject a pro posal made by Egypt Monday for the establishment of a U.N. ne gotiating body to work out a sys tem of cooperation for the opera tion of the canal. He called the Egyptian move "constructive, but he indicated that this, did not go far enough. ' Soviet Foreign Minister Shcpi lov quickly made It clear he would not accept Dulles' statement that the canal must be "insulated' from politics of any one country. Shepilov told an impromptu news conference this actually was a proposal for internationalizing the waterway , and that he -could not accent it. He said politics would appear in any international body organized to run the canal Dulles stood lirmiy Deninu British-French proposal w h I c called for negotiations on the ba sis of the London proposals for International control or the canal. He said he would vote for the British-French plan. On the basic principle of guar antee against use of the canal as an instrument of national policy, the secretary of state said: "If Egypt accepts that simple and rudimentary principle of just ice, then I believe that the sub sidiary problems can be resolved, if that principle is repudiated, then it is difficult to foresee a useful role for a negotiating body.

OLSON Capital Journal Political Editor A victory for the entire Repub lican ticket in Oregon on Nov. 6 was predicted Tuesday by Douglas McKay just before he spoke to almost 900 Willamette University students gathered in a convoca tion. McKay told this reporter that he predicted his forecast on in formation he had gathered in his visits to all parts of the state, where he said Republicans, Inde pendents and many Democrats fa vored President tisenhower and the men and women who are run ning on the same ticket. Tax Lowering Hope The former governor of Oregon and secretary of the interior told the large assemblage of students that the greatest hope for lowering of federal taxes lies in continuance Mystery of Missing Notices Delays Zone Change Move by City Council By DOUGLAS SEYMOUR Capital Journal Writer The reported mysterious disap pearance of public hearing notifi cations from mailboxes and re moval of posted notices in the Northgate district caused city council members Monday to send a proposed zone change in that area back to the planning com mission. The change In zone was re quested by Howard Olsen who told the council it was sought so that a shopping center could be devel oped on the site. He had originally sought to change the area between Northgate and Stortz avenues near Portland road from residential to R-3 commercial. Monday he asked the change be made to the more restrictive R-2 commercial. Passed Up Hearing No one appeared in oppr to the re-zoning proposal was before the planning con. sion but a group of about .10 rc.i. dents were on hand at the coun- Monday evening. , In addition to their failure to re ceive the notices which had been sent by the city informing them of the planning hearing, the oppo nents said notices which the city had posted in the area had been removed before they had seen them. The mystery of the missing let ters and postings was first brought to the council's attention by Er nest L. Cummins. 2440 Northgate. who said he had been asked to speak by a number of the resi dents in the area. Utters Had Been Mailed Cummins said that he had affi davits from the city recorder say ing the letters to the property owners had been sent and from j the superintendent of mails saying iey had been delivered. He de ired that the opponents had not reived them however. He explained that the residents Set their mail in rural-type boxes and that none of the opponents them. He said that the postings , peared three days after its post- were also missing. ing 'I am making no insinuations. "Everything I have tried to do just stating the facts," Cummins declared. He also pointed out that if the opponents had been able to appear at the planning hearing that body s recommendation might have been different. Reported Situation Another speaker. Mrs. Lillian Weathers. 2460 Northgate, con firmed Cummins' statements say ing that she had reported the situ ation to the city manager and to postal authorities for investiga tion. Olsen, who is seeking the zone change, said that it looks like only one person would be interested in taking the letters. "I have brains enough not In take anything from a mail box. I don't like federal prison that much, he declared cU't public hearing on the matter I had found the notifications in has been honorable," Olsen de clared, adding I wouldn t plan anything undesirable in Northgate because in a measure I was the falher of the addition, He said he had been responsible for building restrictions In the area. Olsen said he had under-; stood that the area involved had previously been included in the C-3 r.on,e and had only recently found it was still residential. In opposing the zone change Cummins cited as reasons addi tional traffic hazards for children, not having been given the facts as to possible usage, decrease in residential values. He said he was opposed to having C-2 zone as well as a C-3. Others in the area, while op posed to a C-3 would find C-2 acceptable, the council was told Reformatory Chief Named P. J. Squier, warden of the state reformatory at Monroe, Wash., will become warden of the Oregon Slate Reformatory to be built here, the state Board of Con trol announced Tuesday. Squier was in the federal prison service for 30 years, and war warden of the federal penitentiary at McNeil Island. Wash., from 1940 to 1951, when he retired from federal service. His new appointment is effec live next July 1. but Squier will begin work 'Nov. 8 as consultant to the architects planning the new institution. The new reformatory, to house 600 youthful and first offenders, will be completed about Jan. 1, 1959. of the current Republican admin istration. McKay, candidate for United States senator, said it appears his opponent promised a slice of the federal treasury to every pressure group. "The big spending policies he is urging during this campaign are a guarantco of bigger and bigger government wtlh bigger and big ger taxes," McKay" said. "When the Democrats took over control of Iho country in 19.13, the income tax revenue was only 3 million dol lars. - "Then came the New Deal and the Fair Deal," he continued. "When they left olfice in 1953, federal taxes had reached the stag gering burden of 65 billion dol lars. You young people who are looking ahead to the next 20 years should stop and think between now and Nov. 6. "If federal taxes can climb from 3 billion to 65 billion in 20 years, what will they bo in 1976?" Mc Kay asked. "That year of 1976 will come sooner than you think." Stopped Tax Increase McKay then said that the cur rent Republican administration had not only put a stop to the in crease in federal taxes but in 1954 the said the people of this country received the biggest cut in federal taxes in all Iho history of the country, "a Ihumping 7.4 billion dollars. McKay then asked the students which philosophy of government would give them and their families the best opportunity to save and establish a business, buy a home and educate their children the New Dealers or that of a dynamic and progressive Republicanism that doesn't believe in big govern ment and big takes.
