i o (Possibility That Americans Expect Too Much From Geneva Worries Republicans Br LYLE C. WILSON United Press Correspondent Washington (U.R) High on the Eisenhower administration's worry list is the possibility that American peo ple may expect too much of the recent Ge neva confer ence, and too soon. Two re cent top level speeches were designed as w a r n i ngs to the public to take off the rose-colored glasses. The first was President Eisen hower's in Philadelphia, Aug. 24. The other was by Vice-President Richard M. Nixon in Bos ton, Aug. 29. , They were basically similar, although Nixon went more into v u-4 L2l Lyle C. Wilson detail in stating that the United States would not sell out the principle of human freedom in exchange for a peace-in-our-time deal with Moscow. He called the roll of problems which require, solution before the free world and the Commu nist world can expect to strike hands in peace and mutual con fidence. Included were the situ ation of the so-called captive na tions behind the Iron Curtain, the division of Germany, en forceable atomic arms limita tion, and the subversive activi ties of Communist agents among the free nations. Back of the Eisenhower and Nixon speeches was the admin istration's anxiety lest the pub lic had read only the comfort ing Geneva headlines and had ignored the hard facts in the fine print. The president had been prepared to slug it out with the Russians at Geneva if that had been necessary. When the Russians failed to sound off, the United States, likewise, kept the propaganda peace. The overall result was a somewhat lopsided day -by -day presentation - to the public of conference events with every one toasting everyone else in smiles and beverages. At the ut most, no more than an atmos phere or an environment was established at Geneva with all the hard bargaining and solu tion of problems left for future and lower level meetings. And in the vast area of Asia, nothing was achieved at all, not even an atmosphere. Those are the hard facts which Mr. Eisen hower, Nixon, Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and other policy makers had in mind when it was determined to deliver the one-two punch with speeches on Aug. 24 and 29.

Oregon Schools Rated Best in Nation; Washington Said No. 2 New York Oregon's school system is rated first in the na tion, with Washington coming in a close second, on the basis of data compiled from the National Education association and the U.S. Office of Education. Education expert Frances Rummell reported the rankings of the states in education in the new issue of Look Magazine. She found that 19 states offered ex cellent educational opportunities to their citizens. Sixteen were rated "poor," and 13 received a rating of "fair." Miss Rummell used as her yardstick for the rankings an average of three factors: Finan cial support to education; teach ers' status; and results obtained. As a result, Oregon rated first in the nation with Washington second and Illinois third. Oregon was found to be fourth in financial support to ' its schools, eleventh in teacher stat us, but first in results obtained. As a result of this, its combined rank was first. Washington was rated sixth in financial support, fourth in teacher status and second in re sults obtained; leading to a com bined ranking of second. According to Miss Rummell's report in Look, financial support includes "money spent per pu pil, money spent per classroom and the average value of public- school property per pupil." Teacher status ranks tKe states on "classroom teachers' salaries, the percentage of elementary teachers with less than four years of college and the number of pupils per teacher." Results obtained includes: "Percentage of population 25 years or older with less than five years of schooling, percent age of selective-service personnel who failed Armed Forces qualifi cation tests and percentage of 1943-44 fifth grade pupils who Special Education Classes Scheduled Special education classes for Jackson county will be held at Phoenix and Talent this year, it was announced yesterday.

Root To Attend Resources Meet Robert Root, Medford, a mem ber of the state water resources board, will attend a meeting of the board and the board's advis ory committee in Salem today. The board was created by the 1955 state legislature. The meeting will be devoted to organization and discussion of a working program. disarmament talk in the United Nations. It has opened some cracks in the Iron Curtain. But it has not yet obtained any ba sic answers to basic questions. The President reported to the nation on Geneva in late July. He said next month's meeting of 1 foreign ministers would be the "acid test" of the Geneva effort to shift the world trend from war to peace. That is the way the administration sees it today. The United States will go part way toward agreement on all issues. But if the foreign ministers conference finds' the Russian delegation acting their usual post-war role, the United States is very likely to write off the Geneva conference, then and there.
