It appeared that fixing the
blame would be a hard task.
Crewmen of each ship blamed
the other ship for the accident.
Two facts were known: The
accident took place in clear wea

two ships were within sight of
one another for a half-hour be

Most Severe Crisis
In Higher Schools
Said Near at Hand
The latest and most severe
crisis in higher education is al
most at hand, with the shortage
of educational leadership and
college facilities far behind im
mediately anticipated enroll
ment, according to Dr. F. Her
bert Smith, president of Willam
ette university, Salem.
He spoke at the Medford Ro
tary club luncheon. Tuesday at
the Jackson hotel.
Dr. Smith recalled two other
periods of crisis in higher edu
cation in the U. S. One occured
in 1929 when income for univer-j
sities was sharply reduced, per
sonnel salaries cut, students
could not" afford to attend col
lege and enrollment suffered.
Second Crisis. .. . .
The second crisis came during
World War II in 1941 to 1945,
when students were - called to
the service, government de
mands upon college staffs were
great, and some institutions act
ually closed their doors.
The coming crisis, brought
about by fast-growing popula
tion, will be more severe and
more difficult to meet, Dr. Smith
said. Today this country's popu
lation has exceeded 165 million.
Full impact will hit higher edu
cational institutions by ' 1970,
with enrollment greater than
previously anticipated by the
year 2000, Dr. Smith said.
Much has been said of this
nation falling behind Soviet
Russia in scientific education
Dr. Smith commented. Higher
education cannot compete fi
nancially with business and in
dustry in the salary field, so the
problem of educational leader
ship still must be solved.
Private Colleges
Private colleges are more ser
iously affected financially, and
must turn to business for assist
ance. The recently established
Oregon College Foundation, in
which 10 private institutions
participate, has already received
generous support,, especially
from the two leading banking
organizations of the state.
Closed circuit television tech
niques in education help in some
cases but fail to provide the
personal instruction so essential
to a superior teaching job,' Dr.
Smith said.

program chairman, introduced

Odell, president of Lewis and
Clark college. Portland, who

Out in Pelton Case
Portland (U.R) Attorney
General Robert Y. Thornton
said yesterday that no immed

Warren H. Albright against the
Portland General Electric Co.
Thornton said that he and the
Jefferson county district attor
ney have been in communcation
on the subject of PGE's con
struction of Pelton dam on the
Deschutes for the past two
months. The district attorney
has indicated that he wishes to
confer with the attorney gener
al before he takes anv leeal
steps directed at the utility j
company.
Thornton in a reply to a query
made by Gov. Elmo Smith, Mon
day reiterated his opinion that
the utility company was subject
to criminal proceedings and was
acting in violation of the state
water laws.
The company has obtained a
construction permit from the
Federal Power commission for
construction of the dam.
The U. S. Supreme Court has
upheld the federal license.
The utility company, started
construction on the project two
weeks ago, contending that the
federal license, upheld by the
high court, is final authority.

the first of the food stores to
provide chest ex-rays for the
second year for all employees as
a protection to customers, ac
cording to the chest x-ray com

Employers who wish to make

spends millions of dollars each
year on these programs.
Would Deny Funds
Powell said he would offer
amendments to these programs
similar to one he has proposed
to the administration's $1,400,
000,000 school construction pro
gram. Powell's amendment
would deny funds under this
bill to states that have not com
plied with the Supreme Court's
decision voiding public school
segregation.
Because of the bitter contro
versy stirred by the Powell pro
posal, the school construction
bill has been put on ice in the
House Rules committee.
Powell, one of three Negro
House members, told a reporter
he does not plan to offer his
amendment to a pending House'
bill that would continue federal
school aid to areas jammed by
outside people as a result of fed
eral activity.
Extension Approved
A House subcommittee Mon--day
approved a two-year exten
sion of this program. It would
provide about $350,000,000 in
federal aid to some 3,000 school
districts in every state.
Powell said he would not pro
pose his anti-segregation pro
viso to this bill this year be
cause it is a continuation of a
program begun before the Su
preme Court's 1954 school de
cision. However, he said he
would do so in future years.
