Salem, Oregbrf, Fedries'day', January 23, 1957 THE CAPITAU JOURNAE Aid to India Brings Friends, Speaker Says R'hile he heanj tome criticism of the United States during his year's stay in India, Dr. "Theodore Shay of Willamette university told Members of the Salem Kiwanis club Tuesday noon at the Senator that this country has won many friends by virtue of its financial and economic assistance to the In dians. Dr. Shay said that most news papers of India, while supposedly independent, are swayed by gov ernmental agencies. Much of the newspaper advertising is spon- surea Dy me Indian government, he said. And this circumstance, he pointed out. naturally has its in fluence on the editorial policies. The speaker, a native born Ore gonian. went to India with his wife on a Knickerbocker Fellowship for the purpose of studying contempor ary Indian politics. They lived in an apartment house with an Indian family in Bombay. They found that a high percentage of Indians are illiterate and that the land has been cultivated for more than 5.CO0 years with little effort to fertilize the depleted soil. Dr. Shay predicted that Prime Minister Nehru would be re-elected at the next election since his Con gress party is well financed and controlled. While not a dictator, said Shay, Nehru is a "power unto himself in the field of foreign rela tions." Prior to the address, President Albert C. Gragg asked the Kiwan ians to stand in memory of the late Bernard 'Mainwaring, Capital Journal publisher. The silent med itation was followed by a brief prayer by Dr. Pajil Poling, pastor of tne rirst Presbyterian cnurcn. Gragg announced that an at tempt would be made to form a Kiwanis club in the south Salem area. Speaker Tells 8 Reasons for Retarded Child Eight known causes of mental retardation were outlined Tuesday night by Dr. Brace Knapp in his lecture on the pediatrician's view point of retardation. It was the third in a series of lectures being sponsored by the Salem Associa tion for Retarded Children. Among the eight causes listed by Dr. Knapp were infections of the mother during pregnancy, radia tion from overuse of x-ray and lack of oxygen at birth. The speaker also pointed out that the pediatrician's rote is to make a complete diagnosis in such cases and then explain to the par ents of a mentally retarded child that they need not have, a guilty feeling because of the diagnosis. Dr. Knapp stated emphatically that just because a child is retard ed mentally is no reason why the youth should receive any less med ical care than any other child. Dr. Irwin Hill, superintendent of Fairview home, will be the next speaker in the lecture series. New Device Aids Highway Striping l-Joy JU, c-vi Heating Speeds Painting of Center Strip Successful completion of a year long test of experimental traffic paint-heating equipment which has increased mileage of highway cen ter striping operations an average of 30 per cent was announced to day by State Highway Engineer W. C. Williams. The state has four large strip ing machines and under favorable weather conditions each is capable of striping 30 to 40 miles per day. They are operated by a nine-man crew and are based at Salem, Klamath Falls, Roscburg and La Grande. During cool weather, however, striping operations were compli cated in past years by slow dry ing of the applied stripe and ini tial pressures required to start chilled paint flowing. This often delayed the start of painting on cool or damp mornings. The Salem-based equipment was rebuilt to include an improved tank, capacity of supply lines to spray guns was increased, an ex perimental heater was installed between tank and guns, and the system changed so that heated paint is in constant circulation whether spray guns are in use or rot. W. 0. Widdows, assistant main tenance engineer, has supervised the conduct of the tests and the development of the new equipment.
