Oregon education Is taking its lumps
these days; more are still to come
During the past few months
Oregon education has taken a ter
rific kicking around from the people
of the state. The negative vote on
the tax program on Oct. 15 was as
much a swipe at education as it was
against any other single activity of
the state government. Some of edu
cation's most vocal supporters in the
state see this as a new trend, some
thing which has recently developed.
Some tend to lay the entire blame
on Sen. Walter Pearson of Portland,
who has been the most vocal of
education's critics. Neither assump
tion is entirely correct
The fight has been coming for
a long time. There has been some
criticism of education and higher
education for several years. It has
been more intense in recent years.
Costs of education have mounted
rapidly. Teacher salaries, which
amount to the biggest item in edu
cation costs, have increased far
piore rapidly than salary levels in
other categories of endeavor. There
has been criticism in Salem and else
whore of the administration of the
Mate's Department of Education.
Other state officials have claimed,
privately, that Superintendent Leon
P. Minear is engaged in an empire
building spree.
; Higher education has had its
problems, too. To about two-thirds
of the residents or the state, who did
not attend institutions of higher
education themselves and who are
fairly sure their own youngsters
will end school with the twelfth
grade, higher education is largely
a luxury, and a luxury they don't
want to buy. In their opinions high
er education fits those who take
advantage of it for far higher earn
ings than they might get otherwise.
And, they feel, the student who gets
the direct benefit the doctor, the
lawyer, the dentist, the accountant,
the architect, the engineer should
bear most of the cost.
Education has been in trouble
because these people have found
some leadership. They got leader
ship from J. Francyl Howard, who
didn't know he was providing it and
apparently now is somewhat aghast
that he did so. And they get current
leadership from Walter Pearson.
Those who feel Pearson "hates"
educators and education are, we
feel, misjudging the man. Those who
think he is out to "wreck" the sys
tem of higher education in Oregon
do themselves a similar disservice.
Pearson has far different motives
than this, if we judge them correct
ly. And he is a skillful political in
fighter, taking the course which
promises to bring the quickest re
sults for his desired program.
Pearson has been, if you will
only examine his record of the past
few legislative sessions, a strong ad
vocate of greater legislative con
trol in this state. He has demonstra
ted this wish time and again. He
has made some progress, too. He
has made progress because of the
acknowledged weaknesses of Gov
ernor Hatfield in getting the Legisla
ture to go along with his program.
He gets further help from the audit
report of the Secretary of State,
which demonstrates some weakness
es in control of higher education
expenditures under the present sys
tem. Pearson would like 1o see
stronger control, vested in the Leg
islature, over everything for which
the Legislature is required to ap
propriate funds. This is directly con
trary to the wishes of the State
Board of Higher Education, for ex
ample. And when there is a direct
conflict between Pearson and any
one else, the other person is going
to find himself in a first-class bran
nigan, indeed.

WASHINGTON (UPI) -Backstairs
at the White House:
John F. Kennedy Jr. will be
3 years old next week and at
this ripe age, he has taken his
place as a highly photogenic
member of America's most pho
tographed family.
President Kennedy and his
wife Jacqueline seem to have
lost some of their earlier fears
about having "John-John" as he
is called within the family, be
ing exposed to the public.
Earlier this month, the young
ster was photographed on an
outing with his father and close
ups showed one or more teeth
missing. These pictures set
some of the nation's dentists to
wondering.
Dr. Robert L. Belts of Rock
away, N. J., submitted this
brief comment on the picture:
"It is very unusual for a 3-year-old
child to normally ex
foliate deciduous teeth. This
space has been caused more
likely by a kick or a blow.
Sisters are good at such."
What the doctor meant was
that it is unusual for a 3-year-old
to start losing his first
Survey supports
position taken
by Goldwater
By Lyl C. Wilton
UPI Staff Wrlt.r
The charts, graphs and sta
tistics to justify Sen. Barry
Goldwatcr's faith in the conser
vative future of the Republican
Party have been compiled in
persuasive form by t h e Dunn
Survey of McLean, Virginia.
The Dunn Survey is Rogers
C. Dunn, a sharp pencil analyst
of election returns. Dunn is
committed to the theory that
the Republican Party is hexed
by a death-wish compulsion to
ape the Democrats in the field
of welfare statism.
His figures support the
theory to which he is commit
ted. It is possible of course,
that another sharp pencil sta
tistician could take the same
figures and come up with
graphs and charts proving the
opposite of what Dunn seeks to
prove.
But Dunn has a respectable
record of vote analysis. So un
til some opponent proves Dunn
to be wrong, his charts and
graphs merit examination by
politicians on the chance that
Dunn may be right. What
Dunn does to modern political
ideas is plenty. He scoffs at
the idea that welfare statism
and federal handouts have won
elections for the Democratic
Party. For details, buy Dunn's
paper back book of graphs.
Drift Toward Democrats
The Republican Party has
done best since 1932, Dunn
argues, when its own policies
have been fixed by congres
sional and local leaders. The
national or presidential year
leadership of the Republican
Party lends to drift with the
welfare slate Democrats, Dunn
reports, and is penalized for
that by the voters. The con
gressional and local leaders
lend to resist this nie-too drift.
Dwight D. Eisenhower's per
sonal prestige and popularity
overrode all other considera
tions in the presidential elec
tions of 1952 and 1956. But the
Eisenhower administration left
the Republican Parly weak and
almost nerveless, a loser in
191-0. The high point tor Republi
can congressional and local
leadership was in 1946 when the
GOP won control of the 80th
Congress. In every section out
side the South, the Republicans
pot 50 per cent or more of the
vote cast for Congress; from
just more than 50 per cent of
the vote in the mountain states
to nearly 60 per cent in the
west north central. These latter
states are Iowa, Kansas, Min
nesota, Missouri, Nebraska,
North Dakota and South Da
kota. Next best showing was
about 57 per cent in the east
north central states: Illinois,
Indiana. Michigan, Ohio and
Wisconsin.
After Thomas E. Dwey's los
ing 19-18 campaign and Ike's
winning efforts in 1952 and 1956,
the Republican congressional
vote w;;s in 1960 better than 50
per cent only in the east central
and west north central states.
All other sections reported 50
per cent or less. Under Eisen
hower's modem Republican ad
ministration, the Republican
congressional vole trend was
sharply down.
teeth naturally at such an early
age.
It is unfair, however, to place
the blame squarely on Caroline
without proof positive, and the
White House is not about to go
into public detail on brother
sister scuffles in the back halls
of the executive mansion.
John Jr. is a highly active
youngster, races around a great
deal, and also falls down with
some frequency. Last summer,
for example, Cape Cod neigh
bors of the Kennedys said John
John wore more band aids than
any kid in Hyannis Port. In
fact, some of the older children
derived a certain amount of
sport in pasting bandages on
John where they were not need
ed. At times, he was said to
have resembled a train-wreck
survivor.
There are some broadcasting
officials who flinch when they
think of the number of books
that come out of the Kennedys
when this Administration leaves
office. Reason for this mild ap
prehension is the extensive time
the networks have devoted re
cently to shows plugging "Man
date For Change," former Pres
ident Dwight D. Eisenhower's
new book.
Eisenhower in person, h t s
book and interviews concerning
it have been all over the major
television networks in the past
two to three weeks. He has
been on one network twice, and
been the subject of major pro
ductions on two others. It is
safe to estimate that no book
has ever received such high
powered exploitation on televi
sion. After the current Administra
tion leaves office, it would be
natural to expect the President,
his brother Atty. Gen. Robert
F. Kennedy, and perhaps other
members of the family to pro
duce books on their Washington
experiences.
And should their publishers
approach the networks, as
Eisenhower's publishers did, it
would be hard to turn down
requests for interview time. To
a certain extent, such inter
views with a former President
are interesting and constitute
legitimate news. But in truth,
these highly interesting shows
are set up for one primary
purpose to plug a book.

-Washington Merry-go-round ,
Catholics have received
more surplus property
By Drew Pearson
WASHINGTON - During the
1960 presidential election this
writer was vigorously criticised
by some Protestants for stating
that there should be no religious
bar to the presidency and that
John F. Kennedy, as a Catholic
President, would not favor his
own church. I also stated that
if he did, I would report it.
A review of government prop
erty given or sold at a discount
to churches, now indicates that
the proportion received by
Catholic institutions since Ken
nedy became President has in
creased. The overall sale or gift of
government surplus property to
religious institutions from 1944
to 1963 does not favor the Cath
olic church. During that period,
Department of Health, Educa
tion and Welfare figures show
that property costing the govern
ment $15,783,168 was transferred
to Catholic institutions, while
property costing $32,951,366 was
transferred to other denomina
tions. But after President Kennedy
came into office in 1961, the
proportion to Catholic institu
tions increased. During fiscal
year 1963, after Anthony Cele
brezze, a Catholic, became Sec
retary of HEW, the value and
proportion to Catholic institu
tions increased even more.
These are matters which sen
ators have been digging into in
connection with federal aid to
college legislation which does
not now contain the clause for
a court test of the constitu
tionality of federal aid to church
colleges. It was knocked out in
a House-Senate Conference by
Rep. Adam Clayton Powell of
Harlem and Rep. Edith Green
of Portland, Ore., both Demo
crats. Helped Quaker College
During the first fiscal year
after Kennedy became Presi
dent, July 1. 1961, through June
30. 1962. discount gifts to Cath
olic institutions numbered 21,
while those to other denomina
tions totalled 11.
Of the Protestants, the Sev
enth Day Adventists got the
most ranging from five build
ing for a Navaho mission school
in the Kingman Air Force Base
in Arizona, to property from the
Fairchild Air Force Base in
California to other buildings at
the Nebraska Ordnance Plant,
the John Day Lock and Dam in
Oregon and the Ellsworth Air
Force Base in South Dakota.
The Baptists. Mennonites,
Quakers, Episcopalians and the
Church of Christ each received
one piece of government proper
ty while the Methodists received
two.
The Quakers got one of the
more valuable acquisitions. 148
acres with ten buildings from
the Clinton AF Base in Ohio
valued at $H9.800 which went to
Wilmington College. It was an
outright gift. I might note in
passing that I am a Quaker,
and one who voted for Ai Smun
against a Quaker, Herbert
Hoover, and one who backed
John F. Kennedy against Rich
ard Nixon, another Quaker.
Most valuable properties out
of the 21 given the Catholics
during fiscal year 1961-62 was

. Celebrezxe's Record
Secretary Celebrezze took
over HEW in mid-summer of
1962 and during that fiscal year
ending June 30, 1963, there were
fourteen property transfers to
Catholic institutions; four to
other denominations.
However, the discount sales
to Catholics were very valuable.
Most important was the out
right gift of the Hines Veterans
Hospital to Loyola University,
consisting of sixty buildings
costing $6,343,474, now valued
at $4,836,552. It should be noted,
that Catholics operate some
very fine hospitals and admit
all religious faiths.
The second big acquisition
was 22 acres from Mitchell
Field, Long Island, which the
local public school district want
ed, but the Roman Catholic
Diocese of Rockville Centre got.
It was valued at $540,000 and
was sold at 70 per cent dis
count. Other government property
acquired by Catholic institutions
included a building at Ft. Wain
wright, Alaska, two at Pearl
City, Hawaii; twelve buildings
and 18 acres from various
military establishments in Ohio
valued at about $90,000 and six
buildings from Kelly AFB,
Bergstrom AFB and the San
Antonio Air Force Station in
Texas.
During Secretary Celebrez
ze's administration of HEW, the
disciples of Christ received two
buildings valued at $700 at Ft.
Buchanan. Puerto Rico; the
Congregational Christian Church
received forty acres from Whip
ple Barracks for Prescott Col
lege in Arizona valued at $10.
000; while the Sunshine Bible
Academy, non - denominational,
received two buildings valued
at $1,300 at Big Ben Dam and
Oahe Dam in South Dakota.

Quigley, who handles educa

Desegregation slow
in newspaper field
To the Editor:
It is gratifying, in a time
when the number of excellent
newspapers in the state of Ore
gon can be counted on one
hand, that The Bulletin has ta
ken the time and space to in
form its. readers of the racial
situation in Mississippi through
a series of articles written by
its editor.
Current Oregon journalism
tends to avoid that which is
controversial, praises the worth
of motherhood and applauds the
burning of books and the ban
ning of movies.
One might question the "news
value" of The Bulletin's racial
series, especially since Bend is
as white as the driven snow.
The town is far removed from
the "problem" but evidently
The Bulletin feels Central Ore
gon has a stake in this most
important issue.
Compare then The Bulletin
stand with that of Rep. Norblad
of Oregon's First District.
On June 28, 1963, The Ore
gonian reported Rep. Norblad
felt a march on Washington by
100,000 civil rights supporters
constituted an intimidation upon
Congress.
Norblad said: "I would re
sent it. I think a lot of people
who are more or less neutral
on the issue like I am would
resent it."
It's frightening that any per
son who is able to read and
write can remain "neutral" on
the subject of Negro voting
rights.
Norblad's version of "do
nothing" neutralism stems from
his political egotism. There are
few Negroes in his district,
there hasn't been a lynching
lately, so according to Mr. Nor
blad, there is no civil rights
problem on which he is obli
gated to take a stand.
Obviously, a man with such
a limited set of values should
be retired to private life to save
both his district and himself
from the type of embarrass
ment such as a 6-year-old feels
when, on the first day of school,
he gets trapped between his
home room and the school bath
room with disastrous results.
And so what service has The
Bulletin performed?
1. It has given its readers a
glimpse of Mississippi.
2. It has helped condition its
readers by pointing out that
though the racial situation may
seem far away from quiet Cen
tral Oregon, the Negro move
ment is very much alive.
This conditioning is important
because someday, the residents
of Bend will be forced to
make a choice. . .allow a Negro
to live in the town or get the
white sheets out of storage and
put up a roadblock.
The Bulletin therefore has
performed a public service in
the true tradlion of a free and
enlightened press.
But The Bulletin, as a mem
ber of the publishing Establish-"
ment, must share the blame for
the American Negro's pitiful
lot.
Theoretically, the Negro's
best friend is the northern
newspaper. It prints pictures of
his bombed churches and of his
demonstrations for the most
fundamental freedoms. The
northern newspaper also ad
vances the Negro cause in its
editorial pages.
But the newspaper does little
for the Negro economically, in
that few Negroes are hired by
editorial departments and even
fewer work in backshops,
whether they be closed or open.
There are Negro attorneys,
doctors, actors and business ex
ecutives, but as yet. the Negro
finds the employment office of
Northwest publishers closed un
der the sign, "No Hiring Today,
back After The Civil Rights
March."

For several years, we have

Teenagers blamed
for library noise
To the Editor:
I believe it is high time the
city fathers, county officials
and the superintendent of
schools got together and looked
into the deplorable situation in
the Deschutes County Library.
The teenagers in Bend are do
ing a very fine job of turning
the library into their new
"Youth Center." Starting about
6:30 in the evening they start
gathering at the library on the
pretext of studying. By closing
time, 9 o'clock, they all have
looked at their books a little,
had a nice long chat with their
girl or boy friends as the case
may be, gone out for cokes, and
what have you.
The result is the library can
not be used by those who would
like to read, study or do re
search work. The noise level at
times compares to that of a
basketball game or other public
function where everybody talks
at once and nobody is heard.
You may not print this letter.
I have studying to do and do
not have time to rewrite this
and put it in proper form,
but thought one of your report
ers might be interested in look
ing into this deplorable situa
tion. Just come down to the li
brary some week night, about
6:30 and stay and observe for
several hours.
