Quake Levels
Homes in Peru
Arequipa, Peru (IP) Vio
lent earthquakes Wednesday
rocked a 375-mile strip of
Peru's southern mountains,
killing at least 21 persons and
injuring 90, authorities here
reported today.
Earth shocks were report
ed from the mountain city of
Nazca in the north to villages
in the Chilean border area of
southern Peru.
The epicenter of the quake
was at Mejia, a village about
60 miles southwest of Are
quipa. Casualties and damage
were especially heavy in this j
city, Peru's second largest.
Official sources reported 21
dead, but the toll is expected
to mount as reports trickle
in from areas isolated by the
quakes.
Fully 70 per cent of the
buildings in Arequipa suf
fered some damage, and many
structures in the "white city"
district, which predates the
Spanish conquest, were re
duced to dust and rubble.
The quake snarled tele
phone and power wires and
ruptured water pipes, leaving
Arequipa's 200,000 people
without water at the height
of the South American sum
mer. City authorities estimat
ed that it will take three to
five days to restore the regu
lar water supply.
Thousands of Arequipans
slept in the open Wednesday
night despite the chill that
falls even in summer at this
city's altitude of nearly 8,000
feet above sea level. Some
were afraid to sleep in their
homes and others had no
homes to sleep in.

Held Necessary
Portland - (IP) Francis
Nickerson, executive secre
tary of the Oregon System of
Higher Education, told Port
land school directors and sup
ervisors Wednesday that the
size of state colleges and the
university would have to be
doubled in the next 10 years
unless admissions are restricted.
Nickerson declared that "if
the people of the state decide
that all students are to be al
lowed to attend college, we
must within the next decade
double the size of every col
lege and university campus."
He listed two alternatives:
Admit high school graduates
on a first come, first serve
basis, or raise standards for
college entrance.
He said "studies show that
if a high school student has
less than a C average, he has
less than one chance in 100
of surviving more than 13
weeks in college." A C aver
age standard was recently
adopted by the state system
for admissions.
Nickerson reported there
had already been an in
creased interest on the part
of students in academic sub
jects since the higher admis
sion standard was adopted.
School counsellors also re
ported it gave them a strong
er hand in student guidance.
Police Instructors
Given 'Refresher'
Salem OP A "refresher"
course to State Police training
instructors on how to handle
persons under arrest was be
ing given here today.
H. G.Maison, State Police su
perintendent, said the course
for regional instructors was of
a routine nature. However,
he said it would stress pre
cautions regarding handling
of those stopped in cars on
the highways.
Last week two escapees
took two State Police cars in
eastern Oregon before being
captured east of Baker after a
long chase.
Maison said only those offi
cers who instruct troopers in
their district were attending
the refresher course.
the first half of 1958. stabilize
in the third quarter, and then
advance in the final three
months.
Recession Due?
"Instead it could well be
that the deep phase of the
recession, which already has
been under way for more
than a year, might be reached
as early as the current quar
ter." On the other side of the
picture is a statement by
Peter L. Bernstein of the in
vestment counseling firm of
Bernstein-Macaulay, Inc., that
"The spending urge by busi
ness men as well as consum
ers is over."
He sees continuation of the
downtrend through 1958 and
he fails "to see any reason for
potential buyers to bid up the
prices of stocks, particularly
the blue chips."
Further Evidence
He says there is further evi
dence that consumer spending
may show less vitality in the
near future.
Summing up, Bernstein
said:
"I have painted a - picture
of an economy with a great
deal of slack, its various mem
bers a little too well fed,
quite satiated, and a little
tired. It's been a wonderful
party, but we'd like to take
a little time off and clear our
heads. Perhaps our tastes are
changing toward sobriety."
He concluded with the
statement he'd be much more
bearish and gloomy "if the
Russians had not done us the
good turn of dramatically
making us aware of our re
sponsibilities just at a time
when economically at least
we are most willing to as
sume them.
'"It may be that thrift will
become fashionable again,
and with it we may have a
higher level of moral values."
