SP Special Agent
Killed in Furious
Bailie With Police
Oakland, Calif. (U.R) A
special agent for the Southern
Pacific railroad was shot and
killed during a brief but furious
gun battle Saturday on an Oak
land street when two police of
ficers attempted to question him.
The dead man was identified
as Oliver Grems, 33, of San Fran
cisco, a former officer on the
Denver, Colo., police force.
Routine Questioning,
The shooting took place when
two Oakland policemen, John
L. Brooks, 24, and Jewel A.
Bennett, 27, approached Grem's
parked car in a dead end street
and approached him for routine
questioning. Brooks and Bennett
were on a vice detail in the west
end of the city.
The officers told their super
iors they spotted Grems sitting
in his car, approached him and
showed him their badges, identi
fying themselves with, "we art
police officers.
The policemen said Grems re
torted with "oh yeah?" then
pulled a revolver from his glove
compartment and .aimed it at
Bennett.
Bennett said he ducked be
hind the car and Brooks began
firing through . the window,
Grems jumped from the car and
fired three shots. He fell with
four bullets in him, one in the
shoulder, one in the left side
and two in the back. He was pro
nounced dead at the Alameda
County hospital.
Brooks and Bennett said they
later found no evidence that
Grems was engaged in violating
any law.
He had gotten off duty from
the Oakland railroad yards some
two hours before his death.
Police officials said Bennett
has been on the force about eight
months and Brooks about a year.
- Grems had been a policeman
in Denver for seven years as a
member of the traffic detail. He
resigned to take the special
agent's job with Southern Pacific.

Br BILL FORCE
United Press Correspondent
Salem " (U.R) Education
stole the spotlight from taxes at
the Oregon Legislature Friday
when the State Board of Higher
Education sought death for a bill
that would grant state aid to
Central Oregon College at Bend.
The Senate Education Commit
tee bad before it a House-passed
bill that would give that two-
year institution $1000 at a flat
grant for administration, plus
$100 for each full time student
enrolled.
Central Oregon College is now
supported entirely by the Bend
school district and operated un
der contract with the general ex
tension division of the state sys
tem of higher education. It has
four full-time faculty members.
Cost Said Less
Alva C. Goodrich, Bend attor
ney and former member of the
house of representatives, assert
ed at a committee hearing that
Bend was paying the most of
higher education for central Ore
gon students that should be
borne by the state.
He added that House Bill 396
would cost the state only $100
per student educated, in compari
son with an average cost in ex
cess of $700 for students in other
state schools. Henry Cabell of
the state board said thatcompart-
son was unrealistic.
Robert Chandler, publisher of
the Bend Bulletin, told the com
mittee he would support an
amendment to the bill placing a
geographic limitation on the lo
cation of colleges which could
Qualify. Opponents said they
feared the measure would en
courage a rash of junior colleges
around the state, qualifying the
same way Bend has done
Privata Schools ODDOSed
Dr. Charles Byrne, chancellor
of the state system of higher edu
cation, argued that there have
always been sporadic attempts
at the legislature to set up a jun
ior college system in Oregon. He
said they came from "scnool su
perintendents who want to be
college presidents. He said the
bill was the wrong means to, a
proper end. .
Furthern onDOsition came
from the independent colleges
Dr. G. Herbert Smith of Willa
mette University and Dr. Charles
Armstrong of Pacific University
said a junior college system
would seriously hinder the de
velopment of the private colleges
which cost the state nothing
while relieving the .enrollment
hnrden at state schools
Dr. Smith said the bill would
lead to pork-barrel tactics be
tween cities seeking junior coi-
1pt?e money and he called tne
steo ill-advised, at least until af
ter the state has absorbed the
expanded program it has adopted
at Portland State College and
the three education colleges.
Publisher Opposed
Fred Weybret, publisher oi tne
La Grande Evening Observer,
said "If this bill sets the stage
whereby we spread our educa
tional system too thin, ana ena

$15,000,000 in Hew
Buildings Proposed
Sslcm (U.R) Bills embody
ing a proposed $15,000,000 build
ing program were introduced in
the House Saturday under a plan
that would place the entire pro
gram up for final passage early
next week.
The package of bills were
lumped under fiveseparte hed
ings for Board of Higher Educa
tion, Board of Control, Agricul
ture Department, fish hatcheries
and Oregon Technical Institute.
There were separte appropria
tion bills for the three institu
tions that will be built imme
diately by virtue of the' emer
gency clause and could not be
started for 90 days after the end
of the legislative session.- 1
Immediate Starts
Three projects due for imme
diate starts were the Portland
State College classroom build
ing, improvements at the state
penitentiary, and Oregon tech
nical institute shop building.
Rep. Alfred Corbett (D-Port-
land) warned that there may be
some "objections on the floor of
the House to the package pres
entation of the bills. But Sen.
Charles Bingner (R--La Grande)
said presentation of each proj
ect in & single bill would jeopar
dize the priority list established
in the Board of Higher Educa
Salem (U.R) A delay in con
struction starts on the bulk of
the Board of Higher Education
and Board of Control building
program has been voted by the
Joint Ways and Means Commit
tee.
In line with a request from
the House Taxation Committee,
the emergency clause was or
dered removed from most of the
program, making it inoperative
for at least 90 days after the
end of the legislative session.
There were four major ex
ceptions to the order. Still avail
able for immediate appropria
tion vwuld be the new class
room building at Portland State
College, improvements at the
state penitentiary, classroom
addition at Oregon Technical
Institute, and renovations of
the finance department build
ing to accommodate the state
printing .department.
The committee also reversed
an earlier vote aDDroving an
expanded state teletype network
for law enforcement. It voted
to cut the budget for the com
munications division of the sec,-
retarv of states office, thus
reauirine the network to re
main at its present level of op
eration. The House had ap
proved the original expanded
budget but it was sent back to
committee by the Senate.
which do not have the regional
population to support a really
good college, we can possibly do
more harm than good."
He .expressed concern for the
effect a junior college system
would have on Eastern Oregon
college which he called the
"growing regional college east
of the mountains."
A full agenda faced both
houses of the Legislature Satur
day and the joint ways and
means committee met to turn out
another batch of appropriation
bills. Rep. Henry Semon (D
Klamath Falls), co-chairman; an
nounced the committee had, so
far, appropriated $149,258,012
out of a total budget of more
than $200,000,000.
Clear-Cut Decision
On Helser Hearing
Appears Unlikely
San Francisco .(U.R) Judge
Louis E. Goodman has taken
under submission the testimony
given in the three-weeks-long
trial of the J. Henry Helser com
pany on charges of fraud, but a
clear-cut decision for either side
seemed unlikely.
The Securities & Exchange
Commission sought an injunction
against the Portland, Ore., in
vestment firm on charges it "mis
represented" its service to
clients, dealt in "highly volatile
and highly speculative" stocks,
and advertised a non-existent
"highly trained" research staff.
Conclude Hearing
The judge concluded the long,
involved hearing Friday by di
recting attorneys for both sivs
to get together and work out n
wording for an agreement and
present it to him by next Wednes
day.
He said evidence disclosed at
the hearing "would justify the
release sought by the plaintiff
but I don t believe the injunction
is the proper way to bring it
about."
Goodman indicated he would
continue the case for one year
on condition that the Helser com
pany live up the SEC require
ments for operation of its busi
ness.
He further indicated that if
after one yearthe company had
complied witn tne agreement the
action against it should be drop
ped. : y i
