"Although there are many honest fund raisers," McNeil cautioned, "there also are some men in the business who use reputable community or ganizations as fronts for high phone solicitation which is used by "shady promoters" to high-pressure local resi dents into contributing. "Some operate'out-of-their-hats' pay their phoneman as high as 35 per cent commission on funds collected and add on at least an additional 15 per cent for themselves," he noted. "Unfortunate experiences with 'hit-and-run' fund raisers can easily be avoided," the chamber manager added, "by following a few simple rules. Prospective donors can pro tect themselves by following ing to unknown solicitors in response to a telephone ap peal. Printed or written de tails should be sought before any commitment is made. goes to the promoter and his gang of solicitors." The chamber's warning was prompted by an article in the January issue of the American L e g i on Magazine entitled "You Can Beat the Phoney Phoneman" by Ralph Lee Smith. Although of special in terest to Legionaires, Smith's article of the methods used by unscrupulous fund-raising promoters concerns business, patriotic, fraternal, civic, wo men's, church and all other community groups which have occasion to raise funds for worthy purposes, McNeil said.

While some big-name insti tutions are swamped with ap plicants, there are hundreds of respected schools in every section of the country where the welcome mat is out. These facts which may surprise worried high school seniors and their parents emerged from a nationwide United Press survey. Although college enroll ment climbed this year to- an all-time high of ,048,000, the survey showed there are still thousands of empty beds in college dormitories across the land. Many schools are actu ally suffering a shortage of students, and are scrambling hard for qualified candidates for the next, freshman class. Factors Outlined Educators agreed that three factors have helped to create an erroneous public impres sion that all colleges are over crowded: 1. People have been read ing about the "tidal wave" of students 'that will hit U.S. colleges a few years from now, and have gotten mis taken idea that it's already here. This "tidal wave" is not a figment of imagination; col lege enrollment can be ex pected to double within the next decade. But the pressure on higher education facilities won't be come critical until the early 1960 s when college enroll ments begin to reflect the sharp jump in the U.S. birth rate which occurred after World War II. 2. Anxious high school sen iors, who share the popular belief that it's already very hard to get into college, have been driving registrars crazy by making applications to as many as 15 or 20 institutions. This growing practice of "multiple application" has misled many schools into thinking that they have far more candidates than they can accommodate. Last-Minute Vacancy ' The student who has been "accepted" by several schools obviously can attend only one of them; at the others, he becomes a "no show" who throws enrollment expecta tions out of kilter and some times leaves a last-minute va cancy in the freshman class. This problem has become so acute that many schools are beginning to get tough with requiring substantial deposits with applications, or fixing early deadlines for a show down on matriculation. 3. Pride keeps many schools from admitting publicly that they have room for more stu- j dents. There is a widespread 1 feeling that the "prestige of! the institution requires the dean to boast about how many applications are pouring in, even if he is secretly beating the bushes for freshmen. Quotes From the News ' By UNITED PRESS New York Lt. Gen. James M. Gavin, in chiding persons who looked for a gimmick in his decision to retire: "It is very impressive, to say the least, to what extent honesty of purpose and sincerity in adherance to a principle are subject to searching examination." Washington Vice President Richard M. Nixon, in calling for equal job opportunities for Negroes and whites: "We cannot afford any longer to deny to the United States of America the intelligent contributions many persons could make if they had a first-class education." Tokyo Lt. Gen. Arthur G. Trudeau, new U. S. Army research and development chief, on the United States' ability to match Russia in missile development: "I don't think there is anything we can't meet or -surpass." ' St. Louis, Mo Col. Sydney Bruce on the new Voodoo Genian F101B jet fighter armed with atomic warhead rocket missile a new defense combination capable of knock ing out enemy bombers with a near miss: "All the horribleness of atomic destruction can now be applied against high flying enemy bombers . . ." now is the time to call MEDFORD FUEL CD.

The most bitterly contested academy award balloting in history is un- der way this : week follow ing a move by the Academy of Motion Pic- ture Arts and Sciences to re- fS ber of Oscars A from 41 to 20. sS The number of voters has been cut to 2?028 academy members whereas some 12, 000 Hollywoodians from va rious guilds and unions for merly balloted. Add to this an uproar by dancers and choreographers who are not represented at all, by rebellious writers and musicians enraged by the re ductions, and the 30th annual Vernon Scott West Coast to Use Stewardesses Soon Seattle The new 40-pas-senger Fairchild F-27 trans ports which will be placed in service by West Coast Airlines this summer will carry stew ardesses for the first time in the company's history, ac cording to John Beard, per sonnel director. The company started seek ing applications from prospec tive stewardesses this week. West Coast has used men as flight attendants since opera tions began in 1946. West Coast's first steward ess training class will start within a few weeks and grad uation is scheduled sometime in March. The first of the six Fairchild two turboprop planes are expected to be put into service sometime in July. Among stewardess require ments are age between 20 and 26, between five feet, two inches and five feet, eight inches in height, single with a high school education and either two years college or two years business exper ience in public contact work. awards program sounds more like a back-lot donnybrook than a glittering tribute to 1957's best performances. No Commercials Scheduled There are other changes. For the first time since the program has been telecast there will be no commercials. The film industry is picking up the tab. On top of this, academy prexy George Seaton has asked the Theater Owners of America to close their pop corn palaces March 26, the nisht the awards will be tele cast. Wholesale resignations were threatened and for a time it appeared the show might be picketed. Selection of winners be came almost secondary to the brawl. Seaton says changes were made "in keeping with what our viewers have indicated they want." Duplication Cut Most of the cuts were made in duplication of awards for color and black and . white achievements. There will be only one winner, for instance, for costume design whether it be for a color movie or black and white epic is im material, so to speak. Such paring will speed up the TV show which dragged terribly when a procession of unknown technicians and spe cialists trouped to the stage to accept their awards. Other reductions were in the music category, short sub jects, writing, cinematogra phy and art direction. FREIGHT TRAIN DERAILED Tuscaloosa, Ala.
