mouth stock rancher who was
three times elected chairman of
the State Democratic Central
Committee, will take over his
post immediately.
Heltzel is re-entering law
practice here.
. Two other top vacancies ex
ist due to resignation of Rob
ert Johnson as director of fi
nance and administration and
Warne Nunn as director of the
State Motor Vehicle department.
Will Name Assistant
Morgan, a native of Tilla
mook, resigned chairmanship of
the Democratic party last July
to accept a post on the nation
al campaign staff of Democratic
presidential nominee Adlai E.
Stevenson. He also was a cam
paign advisor to Gov. Holmes.
Morgan said he would take
time to familiarize himself with
workings of the PUC before ap
pointing an assistant.
"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. He was called from
graduate work in transportation,
economics and utility law at the
University of California to

taff of the late Joseph B.' East
man, chairman of the Interstate
Commerce commission and chief
Of the office of Defense Transportation.

Fewer Road Deaths
Salem (U.R) Twenty-one of
Oregon's 36 counties reported j
fewer traffic deaths in 1956 than j
in the preceding year, the Ore-1
gon Traffic Safety Commission j
reported today. j
Two counties, Clackamas and
Douglas, held the line with the
same number of fatalities as in
1955.
One of the highest increases
in traffic deaths came in Klam
ath county where accidents
claimed 31 lives for a 63 per
cent increase over 1955.
Counties reporting fewer
deaths last year were: Clotsop.
Columbia, Coos, Crook, Curry,

fense capacity of the Alcan
highway.
At his first press conference
since assuming office, Gov.
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.
Band Selection May Be
Played in Vashington
Ashland Glen Matthews,
assistant professor of music and
director of the college band at
Southern Oregon college, re
ceived a request recently from
Don Walter, director of bands
at Western Washington College
of Education, a seeking" permis
sion to play Matthew's award
winning band composition, "Bi
orama," in two forthcoming
concerts at Western Washing
ton. ' Biorama" was written by
Matthews in 1956, and was a
prize winner in competition in
the Northwest College band Di
rectors association in May last
year. 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.

Gomulka, who has led Pol

in an election speech.
"Our foreign policy must be
such that it strengthens the po

and also strengthens the posi

by the Soviet Union," Gomulka
declared.
Political observers said the
words were probably gratifying
to Chou. The Red China leader
came here from Moscow last
week to talk with Polish lead
ers, hoping to convince them
they should not stray too far

search for a more democratic
