Robt. Smith By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington Congress will have to Uke "drastic steps" to get more qualified engineers in to government service or the capacity of the U. S. Corps of Engineers t o tackle local flood control, harbor im p r o v ements, n a v i g a tion tion works works and oth er river prob lems will seriously decline. This is the judgment of Maj. Gen. Emerson. C. Itschner, de puty chief of engineers for civil works, who declared: "We are losing engineers at an alarming rate." This problem faced today by the Corps of Engineers is rooted in the fact that the government can't compete successfully with private industry for the limited number of college engineering graduates. "The Corps of Engineers, the largest single government agen cy in the use of engineering per sonnel, has been adversely af fected by this shortage and will be even more seriously affected on an accumulative basis in the near future unless drastic steps are taken to increase the num ber of college-trained engineers and scientists," Gen Itschner told a Senate committee recently- He cited an instance in which the entire student body gradu ating in engineering received of fers of S410 and more per month right' out of school. The best the Corps could do was about $340 per month, he added. While government jobs never compared favorably salary-wise with private business, Itschner said years ago "government em ployment lent a certain amount of security to their lives which today does not exist so much be cause of the . fringe benefits which are given by private in dustry." The personnel crisis is not as critical in the North Pacific di vision as elsewhere, said Itsch ner, but he said there will def initely be a slow down on plan ning new projects and conduct ing various surveys which pre cede detailed plans for each proj ect. He pointed out that delays in planning will mean delays in construction and completion of river and harbor improvements. Recently the civil service pay scale for beginning engineers has been raised to $373 per Russia Expected To Protest Ouster Note United Nations (U.R) Diplo mats today expected Russia to lodge a vigorous protest with the United Nations about Washing ton action in ousting two mem bers of the Soviet delegation to the world organization. Soviet Ambassador Georgi N. Zaroubin was reported to have rejected the U. S. ouster note which the State Department pre sented to him Wednesday. Arkay S. Sobolev, Russia's chief UN delegate, whose activ ities in "persuading" defaulting Soviet sailors to return to their homeland was roundly critic ized in the note, was expected to ask Secretary General Dag Ham marskjold's office to intervene. The Russians had no immed iate comment on Washington's action. Roseburg Students Set National MOD Record Roseburg (U.R) The better than $10,000 raised for the Na tional Foundation for Infantile Paralysis by Roseburg high school students this year stands as a new record for the nation. Gene Malecki, Oregon repre sentative for the foundation, announced here that the amount turned in represented the high mark throughout the entire country. month and the period one had to remain in this GS3 grade has been reduced from a year to six months. But this is still short of the incentives being offered in private industry, Itschner said. Working on Leglislation Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) and other members of Congress have been working on legisla tion that is designed to induce more engineering talent into government service. Morse told Itschner in a recent hearing that "the evidence we are getting in the Senate Foreign Relations committee is that Russia is run ning away from us by leaps and bounds in the-training of engi neers, scientists and technicians." The proposal now in the works would provide an eight year program sponsored by the federal gcvernment. As tenta tively outlined, it would start with a national examination for all high school seniors who want to compete for engineering scholarships. After each year's exam, the top scholars, possibly 5,000 of them, would receive four-year scholarships which would in clude tuition and cost-of-living allowances. In return for this the student would agree to go to work for one of the govern ment's services anything from the Corps of Engineers to the Public Health Service a n d serve at least four years. If any student wished to can cel his agreement before the eight years had expired, he could do so by repaying the gov ernment the money it had in vested in his education. The Corps of Engineers is hopeful that something along this line will be enacted soon as a long-range bulwark against the depletion of its 8000-man staff of civilian engineers. 14 Workshops, Confabs Set at OSC in Summer Corvallis Fourteen special workshops and conferences are scheduled this year during the Oregon State college summer session, June 18 to Aug. 10, in addition to regular courses of fered by the various schools.

Highway Program Debated in House Washington (U.R) The pro posed $51,500,000,000 highway program came up for debate to day in the House. House leaders hoped to begin voting on it Friday. Speaker Sam Rayburn predicted passage. The big 13-year program calls for increased taxes on gas, tires, trucks, buses and trailers to help finance it. The core of the program is a proposed 40,000-mile interstate highway system linking most state capitals. The federal gov ernment would pay $24,800,000, 000 of its cost. The states would pay $2,700,000,000. Congressmen expected heated debate on a provision that would pay $1,500,000,000 to public util ities to defray the cost of mov ing their facilities.
