"His education and exper ience fit him particularly for the post," Holmes said. Morgan is a graduate of Eliot grammar school. Jefferson high school and Reed college, all in Portland.

Holmes said he would do all he could to provide legislative leadership and implement his program in the 1957 Legislature. He said he would be glad to testify before legislative com mittees if his program got bog ged down. However, the governor said he was not submitting his pro gram to the Legislature in a "package." He said individual legislators had asked him for permission to introduce parts of his program in bill form. To Attend Inauguration Gov. Holmes will attend Pres ident Eisenhower's inauguration in Washington Sunday and Mon day and said he should have a special message ready for the Legislature spelling out his re source development program, possibly by late next week. He said other special messag es on such subjects as taxes and institutions probably would fol low. On the tax program he said he would "wait and see" what the Legislature came up with. He said he thought a good tax program would not be referred to the people. . Regarding Oregon's numer ous boards and "commissions, the governor said he had noth ing against them as such as long as they did not diffuse con trol and responsibility. He said that in the case of liquor and other commissions, he thought a full-time paid administrator would make for better admini stration and also save the state money.

The composition is writ ten in a contemporary vein, featuring among other modern techniques, that of the tone-row technique. Education Board To Act on Admissions Portland (U.R) The State Board of Higher Education will act on a plan of selective admis sion to state colleges at its meet ing next week. The plan calls for a minimum "C" or "2" average in high school work before a student can be admitted as a freshman to a stale college. In lieu of this he must pass a standard college ap titude test with a score above 60 per cent or present a C average achieved on a full load of work at a regular college during a summer session. The plan has been the result of a one-year study by a com mittee of representatives from the administrative staffs of all tax-supported colleges. In effect last fall, the restric tion would have cut about seven per cent from the state school's I freshmen enrollment.
