Report on Speech And Hearing Clinic At College Given Ashland A report on the activities of the Southern Ore gon college speech and hearing clinic during the past school year has been given by acting-director. Dr. Donald Wilson. Diagnostic speech clinics were held 'in 43 schools of Jackson, Josephine and Curry counties. A total of 395 speech examina tions, including parent and tea cher consultations, were provid ed the children in these schools. "The public has become in creasingly aware of the speech services that are available for school age children, through ra dio and television programs, newspaper articles, parent meet ings, and through interest shown by teachers and parents who follow-up the speech clinic meetings," Dr, Wilson said. Help Needed "Parents are gradually recog nizing that some children must have special help to master the complicated sounds of American English, especially after faulty habits have become established," he added. One of the primary purposes of the speech and hearing clinic has been to show parents what can be done and to enlist them as helpers in improving the speech of their children. The campus speech clinic at SOC provided speech therapy on a continuing basis to 10 children during 1954-55. A 'short- term type of therapy was given to 14 additional children, while diag nosis was provided for 17 others during the same period. Bill Graham To Have Audience With Queen Dortmund, Germany 0J.R) Evangelist Billy Graham leaves for Holland today and an audien ce with Queen Juliana. His visit to the Netherlands is the next stop in his cross-Europe crusade for Christ which is at tracting followers in record num bers. The North Carolina preacher drew an estimated 30,000 listen ers "to the huge steel and glass Westfalen Hall here last night. A member of his team said it was the largest indoor crowd Graham has ever preached to anywhere in the world. When a domestic electric light bill runs to three cents a kilo watt hour, it can be assumed that one pound of coal will pro duce about 13 cents worth of en ergy at the utility's switchboard.

Air Force Reports New Advances in Guided Missiles Washington (U.R) The Air Force today reported "some ad vances" in developing an inter continental ballistics missile against which there is no known defense. In a semi-annual report to President Eisenhower and Con gress, Air Force Secretary Har old E. Talbott made only a cryp tic two-line reference to the ocean-spanning missile. He re ported some progress on the wea pon and then described it as be ing "of critical importance to the basic security of the United States and the free world." Russians Work on Missile A true intercontinental ballis tics missile could .travel above the atmosphere about 10,000 miles per hour. Armed with a hydrogen warhead, it could wreak untold devastation. Russia also is believed to be working on such a weapon. Talbott also said this country's B52 jet hydrogen bomber is the "best in the world." He added that the Air Force is steadily developing "newer and better" aircraft and guided missiles. Widespread Concern His statement came in the face of widespread concern in Congress over Russia's recent displays of airpower, including a formation of heavy bombers similar to the B52. The Ameri can bombers will begin going to combat units in a few days. Sen. Henry M. Jackson (D Wash.), said yesterday he fears Russia is making such "ominous and unexpected strides" in air power that it will have superior ity over this country within five years. Israeli Premier, Government Resign Jerusalem, Israel U.R) Is raeli Premier Moshe Sharett and his government resigned today. President Isaac Ben-Zvi imme diately called in party leaders for consultations in an effort to form a new government. ' Sharett quit because the Gene ral Zionists refused to vote with his Mapai Party to stave off a no-confidence vote in the Knes set (Parliament) last night on the "Kastner case." The General Zionists and the Mapai have been governing in coalition. But the General Zion ists refused to support Sharrett's party in the controversy and Sharett quit less than a month before Israel's scheduled July 26 elections.

(International) Chessman's Book Contains Praise For Jail Officials New York (U.R) The book which convict-author Caryl Chessman smuggled out of San Quentin prison contains only praise for the prison authorities who confiscated the original copy of the manuscript. The villains in the book, just off the press in New York, are the prosecutors and judges who have blocked Chessman's efforts to escape death in the gas cham ber, and society in general which persists in using capital punish ment even after it has been proved in Chessman'-s view "a tragic, senseless, meaningless failure." Chessman says he hopes his book will help "fire the. social imagination" to find some other means of handling murderers, kidnappers and rapists. July 11 Publication Date Prentice-Hall will publish the new Chessman work "Trial by Ordeal," on July 11, four days before the scheduled execution of the author. His earlier book "Cell 2455, Death Row," became a best-seller last year. A pre-publication copy of the book shows that Chessman thinks highly of San Quentin Warden Harley O. Teets and California director of corrections Richard A. McGee. He describes both as good and fair men "ded icated to serving the best inter ests of society." Chessman's attorneys plan to seek still another stay of execu tion by the U. S. Supreme Court between now and July 15. This, and the unlikely possibility that the governor of California would commute his sentnee, are his only .possible hopes to stay alive. for in in Portland 1 It's the service extras you get from the Benson's attentive staff that make your stay in Portland so enjoyable.
