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."

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.

Length of State
Portland (U.R) Funds avail
able for the interstate highway
system provided in the new fed- :
eral highway bill would finance
four-lane freeway construction
from the Washington border on
the north to California and three
fourths of the distance from
Portland to the Idaho line, Gov.
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.
