Disappoints Dairymen
Corvallis U.R) Disappoint
ed dairymen today planned to
try to sell Oregon State College
the state's leading agricultural
institution on the merits of
ice cream and butter.
Robert C. Koehler, director of
dormitories, admitted yesterday
that mellorine, a frozen dessert
made of skim milk and vege
table fat, was used instead of
ice cream at the school's dining
halls. On top of that, margarine
has been used for all cooking
here since 1948.
It's a matter of economy, he
said.
.Glen Lay, manager of the Ore
gon Dairy Productions Commis
sion, said a delegation would go
to Corvallis to see what could
be done about it.

found evidence of a "plot" to
throw out Attlee as Laborite
standard bearer and replace him
with the fiery Welshman who is
Britain's loudest critic of Ameri

New Appeal Made
For Flying Finns
Los Angeles U.R) An
other California congressman
appealed to President Eisen
hower today for executive clem
ency for the Flying Finn Twins,
George and Charles, now on the
36th day of a hunger strike in
the medical center for federal
prisoners at Springfield, Mo.
Rep. Harlan Hagen (D-Calif.)
wrote the President he believed
the Finns would fast to death
because of '"their belief in the
justice of their position."
"There is great public sym
pathy for them in California and
any such tragedy would be a
blow to the prestige of the fed
eral judiciary and the U.S. at
torney's office," Hagen said.
The twins were sentenced .to
a year in prison for interfering
with the duties of a federal of
ficer. They clamped handcuffs
on U. S. Atty. Laughlin Waters
here last year in a dispute with
the government over confisca
tion of a surplus cargo plane
which subsequently was ruled
their legal property and ordered
returned.

Look ai the break you
workers called a strike for Satur
day. The latest poll, by the Liberal
News Chronicle, included the
week end period when both
strikes were announced. It said
the Conservations had received
51 per cent of the votes and La
bor 47 enough to give Eden a
majority of 120 seats.
Committed for. Labor
Britain's biggest newspaper,
the 4,000,000 circulation Daily
Mirror, committed itself for La
bor today as expected but it
added,, "we do not have to pre
tend that Labor's chances of vic
tory are rosy."
Outside of the press, cam
paigning was so calm and quiet
that newspapermen were calling
it the "whispering campaign."
State, Local Program
Of Public Works Urged
Washington (U.R) The
Commerce department said to
day that state and local govern
ments should build $200,000,000,
000 worth of new schools, hos
pitals, and other public works
during the next 10 years.
It said this; will provide a
"strong stabilizing force" for the
economy in the next decade. But
it said the construction should
not be dragged out because the
demand for still more commun
ity facilities will "rise substan
tially" after 1965.
