(International Soundphoto) EAGLE POINT Visits in San Francisco Many Collegians Fail To Graduate Kent, Ohio (U.R) Sixty per cent of the nation's college stu dents fail to graduate, according to a nationwide survey of cam pus averages made by Dwight L. Arnold, director of Kent State University guidance testing. Arnold said his findings indi cate that most high school stu dents fail to attain a high level of certain abilities and skills, particularly the mechanics of English. "Too many students do not de cide to attend college until they are out of high school and it's too late to get the necessary preparation," he said. Arnold said that the enor mous waste of time and finances by the great number of college failures, chiefly in freshman and sophomore years, must be stemmed in the eighth and ninth grades and again in the 11th and 12th high school years. The Kent survey further showed that students who have marks below B in high school English usually lack academic skills necessary for completion of college work. Arnold said the 12th year high school studies should be revised to include at the very least a semester English course to fresh en students for college place ment tests. The cigar originated in the Spanish West Indies. County Home Rule Resolution Passed by House; Goes To Senate Salem U.R) House Joint Resolution 22 providing for county home rule was sent to the Senate today after passage by the House 47-11 Tuesday. The resolution would permit counties to decide what form of government best suited them and put a charter into effect similar to city charters. Rep. Al Flegel, Roseburg Democrat, said the counties should determine for themselves how they want their county run rather than have the state Legis lature do it. Flegel said that judges, justices of the peace and district attorneys would not be affected by home rule. Streamlining NetJa- Joining in support of the reso lution was Rep. George Lay man, Newberg Republican, who was a member of the interim committee which studied the proposal. "Our real need is to 'stream line county government," Lay man said. "This resolution would permit every county to re-examine its government and make it mon modern." Rep. Keith Skelton, Eugene Democrat, opposed the resolu tion on grounds it would give the counties veto power over state legislation in certain fields. He said a lack of uniformity in county forms of government would create a "hodge-podge." Rep. Clarence Barton, Co- quille Democrat, objected that the resolution might interfere with statewide programs like tax re-appraisal, but Rep. John Mosser, Portland Republican, said the counties still would be subject to the general laws of Communism Dealt Blow in Italy Vote Turin, Italy (U.R) The most powerful Communist move ment outside the Iron Curtain stood shaken and nearly shat tered Wednesday in the wake af a 'crushing labor election defeat in Italy's largest industrial com plex. Final returns in the shop stew ard election of the Fiat Auto Works showed the Communist dominated General Confedera tion of Labor won only 21.1 per cent of the vote, compared with 2S.8 last year and 63.2 three years ago. It won only 34 seats in the 205 seat shop steward council. The defeat reflected the grow ing estrangement of workers from the Communist party, largely as a result of Russia's armed intervention in Hungary. An estimated 600,000 Commun ists, one-third of last year's mem bership, have refused to renew their party cards. the state regardless of their charter. The resolution would require a vote of the people in the 1958 general election. 'Power: A bill establishing a three-man state power commis sion to build hydro-electric dams and sell power was introduced in the House. The commission's activities would be financed by general obligation bonds not to exceed six per cent of the as sessed valuation of the state. Bully Creek: The House com pleted' favorable action on Sen ate Joint Memorial 5 calling for federal construction of Bully creek dam and reservoir in Mal heur county. Veterans: The Senate ap proved joint resolution 35 auth orizing the Department of Vet erans AfCairs to borrow up to $122 million for its home and farm loan program for veterans. The present limit is $81 million. Suspensions: Approved 41-17 was House bill 650 providing for suspension by the governor of public officers indicted for in famous crimes or violation of the oaths of office.

Stevenson In taxes on l26th of a square inch of land in Chesterton, Ind., has been channeled to the 1957 Heart Fund drive. In a fund-raising stunt in 1952. Chesterton donated a square inch of land in its center, divid ed it into 26 parts and auctioned 24 parts off to local residents. One part each was given to Stevenson and President Eisen hower. Jack L. Goodfriend of Skokie, 111., paid the tax on the land. Last year the President re funded the tax on his tiny parcel of land, and the amount went to the Heart Fund.
