Smith Speaks at
Idaho Graduation
Caldwell, Ida (U.R) A spir
itual re-awakening in the world
today is making people every
where aware of something they
actually never forgot, that it
takes greater truths than science
can provide to nourish their
souls. Gov. Elmo Smith of Ore
gon told the 1958 College of Ida
ho graduating class Saturday.
Gov. Smith gave the com
mencement address at his alma
mater which honored its gradu
ate by conferring upon him an
honorary doctor of laws degree.
"'A few years ago science, in
Its never- ending movement
across new frontiers, opened
new vistas of untapped and un
ending sources of energy," Gov.
Smith declared.
"For a time there was a great
tendency to pay homage to sci
ence as the shaper of our des
tiny. Today there is a spiritual
re-awakening in the world. Peo
ple everywhere are again realiz
ing something they actually nev
er forgot that while science
stimulates mens' minds, it takes
greater truths to nourish their
souls."
Gov. Smith paid tribute to
the contribution of independent
colleges to higher education, and
at the same time emphasized the
obligation that graduates of both
independent and state-supported
colleges have to the persons who
contribute to their support ei'
tlier privately or through taxes.

Body of Missing
Hiker Found in
Yosemite Crevice
Yosemite, Calif. flJ.R) The
body of a hiker missing for five
days in Yosemite National Park
was spotted today by a helicop
ter pilot in a treacherous crevice
east of Yosemite Point Couloir.
Chief Ranger Oscar Sedergren
reported Dr. Robert Franklin
Johnson. 28, apparently fell to
his death while attempting to
descend the sheer mile-high wall.
"If possible," Sedergren said,
"we'll remove the body. It's
going to be a tough and time con
suming job to get him out of
there."
Helicopter pilot Edward Kohls
of Stockton, Calif., located John
son on his second flight over the
area. He was ordered to the
scene after footprints were dis
covered on the rim of the wall
late Friday.
Climbing Experts
Sedergren said the body was
jammed into the crevice about
200 or 300 yards below a point
where rangers had roped down
ward in a preliminary descent
after uncovering the tracks.
They were to be aided in the re
moval operation by six Sierra
Club climbing experts.
Johnson, son of Franklin P.
Johnson, a University of Chicago
archeology professor, vanished
Sunday after informing a com
panion he planned a three-hour
hike on the wall between Indian
and Yosemite creeks.
Rangers and valunteers strug
gled for four days in a ledge by
ledge search of the wall before
the footprints were located at
the rim of Yosemite Valley.
There is no established trail in
the area where Johnson made
his hike.
- Johnson had been an intern
at San Francisco County Hos
pital for the past 11 months.

Meat Inspection
Findings Listed
Salem (U.R) Findings in
the completed first round of the
Oregon pilot meat inspection
program, released Saturday,
show less than one-half of one
per cent of the animals checked
before and after slaughter were
condemned.
Percentagewise, this figure is
in line with federal condemna
tions nationally, according to Dr.
Rolla Sexauer, assistant state vet
erinarian who is supervising
field operations.
The report covered the period
from Sept. 16, 1955 to May 25,
1956.
Sexauer said the pilot crews
started a second round of inspec
tions Thursday in the Salem
area. He said the State Agricul
ture department was particular
ly interested in comparing re
sults on the second round, with
findings on the first inspection.
On a live-animal basis, the re

seemed to understand my posi
tion, perhaps because he is in
the same position himself. He
maintains a home with his wife
because of a child, but he is as
separated in every other respect
as he could be. He is urging me
to free myself and he will do the
same if I give him- any encour
agement. Now that I have at last found
some hope, I have heard from
my husband. He wants me to
take him back. He says that he
is thoroughly disillusioned about
the woman for whom he left me
and that he now -realizes how
much I mean to him. I have not
yet told him that I am interested
in another man because I am
afraid that will antagonize him
and prevent my getting a di
vorce. I am afraid to take him
back, because I fear his fickleness.
Gene 1 know myself much
better now than before I left my
wife. I allowed physical attrac
tion to get the best of me. , but
I never felt that I was doing
the right thing. I continued to
send my wife money for her sup
port and I waited a long time
after my dissillusionment to get
in touch with my wife, because
I feared I was no good for her.
I think I understand now that
I am. a very susceptible person
and cannot trust myself. If Clare
takes me back, I will be eternal
ly grateful.
The Council: Clare would
make a tragic blunder if she re
jected her penitent husband, who
is a rare person in knowing and
acknowledging his great weak
ness. He should, however, be in
formed by his wife of the other
man's interest in her. He needs
to know how very close he came
to losing his wife, and he needs
to know that she, too, has feel
ings that must be considered.
, Glare and Gene now have an
opportunity to deal with each
other on the basis of mutual un
derstanding and to rebuild and
maintain a fine marriage. All
marriages are in more or less
danger of waywardness, but this
marriage can be placed in the
happy category of having over
come that danger.
. We think this couple should
try again, on the basis of a full
and candid discussion of their
problem in all its aspects. Gene
is obviously no perfect husband,
but he is trying to be honest
with himself. That quality is too
valuable to be thrown away.
