Three Scholarships Assured Festival During '5? Season Ashland Three acting schol arship! for the 1957 Oregon Shakespearean Festival have been assured through efforts of two Ashland civic groups, Wil liam Patton, Festival general manager, has announced. The Soroptimist club recently presented a check for S225 for a scholarship. Members of the Ash land chapters. Gamma Zeta and Alpha Sigma of the Beta Sigma Phi, have presented the Festival association with a check for $430. The amount will continue two scholarships which Beta Sigma Phi, has made available in the past, Patton said. Help Actors Festival scholarships are de signed to help with room and board expenses of actors and technicians. Patton pointed out that without the scholarship pro gram, actors and technicians re ceive no financial help during the three-month period they are in the area working on the an nual productions. According to Patton the schol arships are of major importance to the Festival's continuation. He urged organizations which wish to contribute funds, to do so. Presently more than two-thirds of the total expense of the schol arship program must be paid from limited box office receipts, Patton said. This, he added, drains funds which could other wise be used to improve shows and increase the promotion ap peal of the event to prospective tourists throughout the country.

Dismissal of Swing For Misconduct Asked Washington (U.P.) Rep. Rob ert H. Mulhollan (D-W.Va.) has called for dismissal of Gen. Joseph M. Swing as U. S. immi gration commissioner for "mis conduct" in office. Muilholan, chairman of a House subcommittee that has in vestigated Swing, made the re quest Tuesday in a letter to Pres ident Eisenhower. The subcommittee severely criticized Swing for hunting trips he made to Mexico at gov ernment expense and for what it called his "lack of candor" in testifying to the subcommittee.

Chevrolet, of fering a fuel injection system which boosts horsepower all the way up to 283, introduced its 1957 models to the public to day. The General Motors division said the new cars have "the greatest variety of power plants ever produced by a low price car builder." They start with a six-cylinder engine generating 140 horsepower and range up to the Corvette V-8 giving 270 horsepower. Optional Equipment Fuel injection, offered as op tional equipment, boosts the Corvette engine to 233 horse power and eliminates the car buretor. "Each of the engines is im proved mechanically, but the gain in power-up from a peak of 225 horses in the 1956 line is primarily due to larger bore, higher compression ratios, high er lift camshafts and fuel in jection," the company said. Making its debut as optional equipment with the "ramjet" injection is a new triple-turbine automatic transmission called "turboglide." Improved "power glide." conventional transmis sion and overdrive also are of fered . 460 Combinations A total of 460 model-color combinations are available in the Bel Air, Two-Ten, One-Fifty Corvette sportscar series.
