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. The bill now
goes- to the Seutte.
