Operation is "successful" (International) Stale Medical Controversy Boils Up Again Portland (U.R) The heated controversy between the Oregon State Medical Society and the slate medical school ooiled into the open again yesterday with the release of the school admin istration's answer to charges made by the society. The 85 page report summar ized the dispute by saying: "The basic issue existing between the Oregon State Medical Society and the Board of Higher Educa tion can be very simply stated who is going to run the medical school?" The report, submitted by Dr. Charles N. Holman, medical di rector and administrator of hos pitals and clinics, to the Board of Higher Education, included answers from four department heads at the medical school who were singled out for special criticism by the Medical Society The society had charged that certain of the medical school staff were abusing their privi lege of private practice on school premises at the expense of the taxpayers and, in some cases, to the neglect of their teaching duties. This was denied. The report made public yes terday said, "It is the under standing of the faculty and ad ministration that the school is owned and operated by the peo ple of the state of Oregon and that those in charge of the sjhool are responsible to them ! through their elected and ap pointed representatives."

Eight-Year-Old Becomes Best Selling French Writer Paris U.R) Golden-haired Minou Drouet, the only poet in the world whose work lands reg ularly on newspaper front pages, has settled down from being merely a temporary figure of national controversy to one of France's most widely admired and best-selling authors at the age of eight. Publisher Rene Julliard an nounced that a first, 20.000-vol-ume printing of her poems was sold out in the record time of three weeks and that a second printing was ordered immediate ly. The announcement was greet ed with bravos by French critics many of whom had called the child prodigy "a fake" or "the biggest literary hoax of the cen tury" only a short while before. Julliard also announced that the volume, "arbre, mon ami" (tree, my friend), will be pub lished in Japan shortly and that negotiations are underway to publish the tender little poems in the United States, Britain and a dozen other countries. This, is a triumph surpassing all expectations for Minou, a once near-blind orphan who "couldn't help but start writing about an entirely new world of color and movement" after an operation restored her eyesight two years ago, and for her dis coverer, Julliard. "Back To Your Dolls" Only two months ago, a na tional controversy that almost overshadowed developments in French politics and in North Africa, was raging over the ques tion as to whether Minou was really the author of her amaz ing little poems and such epi grams as: "This is the great folly of grown-ups wanting what lasts, wanting to last. Only two things last shoes too small, and fool ishness." ' Many suspected the author or co-author, at least was her foster mother, 49-year-old Mrs. Claude Drouet, who kept the child in almost total seclusion in a fishing village on the Brittany coast. The critics were in an uproar. Author Michel de Saint-Pierre, after reading some of the girl's observations on love and "sin, this perfumed velvet," struck the keynote with a thunderous: 'Minou, back to your do!ls!" But Minou wouldn't go back to her dolls. "I won't play with things dead," she said and went on writ ing those intriguing poems that threw French headline writers into a pencil-chewing dither. The turning point came in Jan uary when Julliard decided to present Minou to the public. She appeared in some of Paris' most snobbish literary salons and at movie premieres where she stole the spotlight from the stars and charmed her critics. Passes Test "This phenomenon needs re assessment," admitted Saint Pierre. Her formal recognition came when she successfully passed the tough- examination of France's venerated Society of Authors, Composers and Music Editors (SACEM) to become the society's youngest member. Locked in a room, she had to write a poem on a given subject within half an hour. She passed the test with flying colors with a 37-line poem, "Paris sky" that "deeply moved" a jury of lead? ing writers. Now she has returned to the fishing village of Pouliguen where she divides her time be tween private tuition, play with her cats, piano lessons and writing poems for her next book which may appear in a year. "Yesterday, three old bearded gentlemen came to see me," she recently wrote to a friend. "Each walked in with his beard. They asked me: can you made Alex andrines? those are verses which need 12 feet to stand on. "I thought sadly: first, you don't 'make' verses. A cloud passes, something ' gushes out. j You have nothing to do with it, t the cloud is responsible, and j then, well, my verses don't have j feet, they have wings." j And with that, Minou may j have gone for another long walk ; along the sandy beach near her i home, returning with another ! of her winged little poems. Such I as this one: "The waves don't break on the beach. "They break in my eye, "In my ears, "On my heart." Tuesday, June 12, 1958 ', ""i." " 'j v . MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NINH London Deports Greek Church Head London (U.R) Scotland Yard deported the London head of the Greek Orthodox Church early today in its first major crackdown on Cypriot anti-British activity in Britain. Police agents seized Archi mandrite Abbott Kallinikos Ma cheriotis in his downtown rec tory and put him aboard a plane for- Athens shortly after mid night. The Home Office said Ma cheriotis is a Greek national and that he was ousted from Britain "in the public interest." It followed a Scotland Yard security crackdown based on reports that Greek Cypriots in London might try to seek re venge against the royal family or the Cabinet for the hanging of two Cypriot gunmen last May 10.

Elmo Smith told the State Lions convention today. Oregon's share . of the con templated federal program, i which will be very nearly the ; same regardless of which of the 1 two plans of apportionment is adopted, is estimated at $650, 000.000, Gov. Smith said. ; Of this, the governor said $.180,000,000 would be spent on the 740 miles of interstate high way in Oregon and $270,000,000 on the remaining 8.400 miles of federal-aid highways in the state, including $40,000,000 on county road system. Of the $380,000,000 proposed on interstate routes in Oregon , during the 13-year period, 1957 69, the federal government would provide $160,000,000 and the state $110,000,000. Gov. Smith explained that the exceptions for east-west four lane highway are in sparsely settled areas in eastern Oregon where two-lane construction will ; be adequate for some time. 350 Enrolled in Swimming Classes A total of 350 are enrolled in a swimming program now is pro gress in Ashland, according to Dr. William H.
