Junior High V i A
Hears Four Reports
On OEA Convention
Four teachers, Mrs. Maxine
Smith, Mrs. Cecelia Gustin, Mrs.
Maude Robinson and Mrs. Vir
ginia Wait gave reports on the
recent Oregon Education as
sociation convention at the meet
ing of Junior High School Parent-Teacher
association held last
week. Theme of the convention
was "Living with the Atom."
Mrs. Smith gave a resume of
the talk of John Harvey Furbay,
professor of education at Mills
college, Cat., former president of
College of West Africa and
formerly with the United States
department of education in South
Central America. He keynoted
the convention, stating that in
order to survive in an atomic era
several inadequacies of the edu
cation system would have to be
cleared away.
He stressed as imperative the
leacmng ot more foreign langu
ages, more geography and more
honest anthropology, Mrs. Smith
reported. Dr. Furbay said the
United States is the only coun
try in the world in which for
eign languages are by-passed un
til the high school or college,
and that foreign languages
should be started in the Drimary
grades, adding that unless this
was done within the next 10
years, this country will have no
world leadership leu.
Speaking of geography, Mrs
Smith reported that Dr. Furbay
said "unless we do build up our
knowledge of foreign languages
and geography, we will lose our
foreign relationships and lose
our opportunity for business ex
pansion abroad. Dr. Furbay
stressed eradication of race pre
judice through the teaching of
honest anthropology, the teacher
reported, saying that race pre
judice is the greatest obstacle to
the acceptance of democracy by
otner countries and that preju
dice results from ignorance.
Mrs. Gustin reported on the
address of Dr. Ernest Melby,
dean of education of New York
university, who stated that the
United States affects the rest of
the world economically, but not
morally or spiritually, and said
education musi ume me respon
sibility of changing this.
Dr. Melbv stated that Pales
tine is the most forward-looking
nation in the world today, and
represents "democracy really in
action." she reported. He furth
er said that this nation must do
something about its attitude to
ward its fellow men and said
"the Negro question is the
'Achilles heel as far as America
is concerned. We must get rid
of our prejudices. War breaks
out, but peace can be deliberate
ly built up. We must rededicate

Psychiatric Treatment Said
Needed As Aid to Law for
Control of Sex Criminals
Br Paul F. Ellis
Unittd Prtii Science Writer
New York Apr. 24 (U.R) A
Columbia university psychiatrist
said today that laws alone will
not bring sex crimes under con
trol, but that intensive psychi
atric treatment is needed.
The doctor, David Abraham
sen, was one of a group of in
vestigators who proposed the es
tablishment of a research insti
tute of criminal behavior, where
"research, treatment and train
ing of technical personnel could
be undertaken."
Bated on Study
Abrahamsen spoke at a forum
for the study and prevention of
crime, and said:
"In order to be sure that these
sick individuals may cease at
tacking our women and children,
we need intensive psychiatric
treatment that will work hand
in hand with research and the
training of all psychiatrists, psy
chologists and psychiatric social
workers."
He said he based his conclu
sions on a two-year study of 102
sex offenders at Sing Sing pri
son, an investigation that was
sponsored by the state of New
York.
He said that all offenders
studied at Sing Sing showed
symptoms of a mental disorder,
and that their motivation for
committing crime was irrational
ourselves to moral re-generation."
Mrs. Robinson gave a report
on the study of the Oregon school
situation as requested by the Ore
gon legislature. She said the sur
vey will cover local organization,
personnel and instructional ma
terial, health and physical edu
cation, transportation, guidance,
finance, the school lunch pro
gram, special education, adult
education and school enrollment.
She also reported on the talk
of Miss Maurine Walker, pres
ident of the Texas Teachers' as
sociation who had said that
teachers needed to remember the
code of ethics of the national as
sociation, cease being so critical
and promote better public rela
tions with pupils, other teachers,
administrators and parents. Miss
Walker had listed some of the
peculiarities of teachers, said
"teachers' tongues run in the
same rut" and that most of them
needed a new aoproach.
The report of Mrs. Wait was
on the home economics section
where the teaching of family re
lations had been discussed. She
said the discussion brought out
that many people stress sex edu
cation too much in the family
relations' course, and that these
courses need particularly quali
fied teachers.
She also said the school lunch
supervisors met and decided to
organize and affiliate with the
National School Food Service as
sociation, feeling the need of a
professional organization.

and "many of thein showed ex
treme traits of sadism and bru
tality in their personality."
Findings Incorrect
"Most of these offenders had
in previous examinations, before
entering prison, been found to be
'psychopaths,' " he said. "Ac
cording to our studies, these find
ings are incorrect. We found
only three offenders that I
would term 'genuine psycho
path' that is, a person with the
main characteristics of extreme
ego-eccentricity, no guilty feel
ings or anxieties and a diffused
sexual life covering all types of
sexual deviations."
Abrahamsen said the studies
showed that the offenders com
prise "a group of people who
suffer from various types of men
tal disorders and social malad
justment." He said that the investigation
also showed alcohol was a prom
inent factor when sex crimes are
committed.

Food Price Increase
Puts Living Costs Up
Washington, Apr. 24 (U.R!
An increase in food prices drove
the cost of living slightly higher
from mid-February to mid
March, the bureau of labor sta

per cent higher than on Febru

Certain union leaders have been doing a lot of talking
about a telephone strike. We think you should know
about telephone wages and other job advantages.
Telephone wages are
Employees already get
regular pay raises
To attract and keep good people, we've
tried to make telephone jobs stack up
with the best. Wages are good. And
regular progression increases take be
ginners from the trainee period to top
rates automatically. They come along
according to a definite schedule. Last
year, some 46,000 non- management
employees received such increases . . .
that s about three out of four.
We've offered to extend or agree to
contracts containing this Progression
Plan. During last year, this meant
wage increases amounting to about
$9,000,000 on an annual basis . . . and
will mean additional millions this year.
Telephone users foot the bill for any wage increase
there is no other way.

Warren Promises
To Continue Fight
Fresno, Cal., Apr. 24 (U.R)
Gov. Earl Warren told a "grass
roots" republican state conven
tion today he would carry "my
fight for honest, independent
government to the people."
He told 1,200 cheering dele
gates from 58 counties the re
publican administration had rid
the state of "boss rule . . . we
have no Frank Hagues or Huey
Longs here."
In an obvious, vitriolic attack
on campaign promises made by
James Roosevelt, his democratic
opponent, Warren declared:
"We are not going to promise
everything and spend hundreds
of millions of dollars in order
to get elected, while at the same
time promising tax reductions.
It can t be done. It is dishonest
to promise everything under the
sun."

a full third have been promoted to
management. That's one reason why
people stay longer in the telephone
service than in most other jobs.
Customers foot the bill
for wage increases
In the telephone business, employee
costs already total more than half of
all costs of furnishing the service you
pay for. Since 1939, our people have
received ten general wage increases
increases which are many millions of
dollars greater than the rate increases
we've received in the same period.
Increased costs cannot come from
earnings. They're already too low. As a
matter of fact, further rate increases
are needed now to pay for past wage
increases. There just isn't any margin
to absorb the new union demands.
