Oregon Delegation Shuns Team Sports As Eisenhower Opens Baseball Season By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington Every big politician in town this week took the day off to do what comes unnat urally; root for the same cause in this case, getting the Washing ton ball team out of the cellar of the American League. P r e S 1 - A. Robt Smito dent Eisenhower threw out the first ball, and it was the first time this year Sen. Lyn don Johnson - (D-Tex.). hasn't tried to steal his thunder. With his cabinet, close ad-! visors, relatives and cronies close about him, the Presi-! dent had the spotlight. There wasn't a Democrat within i camera lens of his box near j the Washington Senators' dugout. It was good Ike went to Augusta, Ga., for a good workout the three days be fore the opening game. Any fellow pushing 70 would have to be in the pink to throw a baseball past the long lineup of press photographers who were crowded all over a spe cial bleacher erected down on the field. The bleacher was turned backwards, of course, because the camera artists were interested only in looking at the VTPs in the grandstand. Sen. Johnson arrived after Ike had had his inning. His outriders about him, the lean one from Texas loped into a box seat near home plate. Sen. William F. Knowland, the Republican leader in the Senate, arrived about the same time. Before you knew it, there were more senators in plain sight than I'd seen from the Senate press gallery in months. Oregon's statesmen were absent, of course. They don't go in for team sports. I got to worrying, half way through the game, who was tending the store down town while the big men were all at Griffiths Stadium. And suppose the Russians got this little piece of real estate in their sights. It would make Pearl Harbor look like a pic nic. Maybe we ought to have a couple of Nike sites in cen ter field. But I spotted Gen. Omar Bradley a few seats away, and somehow the wor ries shifted to the fact that the Senators were behind the Boston Red Sox 2-0. The only happy face in the crowd was that of Rep. Joe Martin of Massachusetts, who wouldn't root for the Sena tors if his own grandmother was one of our pitchers (and sometimes I think maybe she is). The police take good care of the President. The poor souls who happen to sit in a section which finds the Presidential box between them and the rest room just have to make a long detour. That goes for Supreme Court justices, too, and if you think that's justice, ask Jus tice Tom Clark, a Democrat, to be sure. Those nasty rumors the Democrats have been spread ing about Ike not working, that Sherman Adams does all his work for him, were knocked for a cocked hat be fore 26,000 fans and those on TV who might have had a glimpse of the chief execu tive. Ike kept his own score, pencil and scorecard in hand. There was an International twist to the game, for the Senators' pitcher was a Cu ban, Pedros Ramos. No one knew for sure which side of the Cdban hostilities he might feel loyal to, but he turned the opening game into a one man revolution of his own. Ramos drove in the clinching the game while a beautiful five- runs of pitching hitter. I found out one thing for the first time: the chairman of the District of Columbia Committee gets the choicest seats in the park, one of which I sat in. I saw every curve ball break from a seat di rectly behind home plate, courtesy of Sen. Alan Bible of Nevada. Not only did Republicans and Democrats not take issue with the 5-2 victory the Washington team finally fash ioned, but all those who could not be there might take com fort insthe fact that on open ing day not one major gov ernmental decision or bill in Congress was acted on. It was a day that all taxpayers could afford. THE DANMOCRE HOTEL 1217 SW Morrison St. PORTLAND, OREGON All transient guests. All those who come, return. Rates not high, not low.

Civilization in West in Danger Portland (IP) The chan cellor of the Oregon System of Higher Education said here Wednesday night that only education can save Western civilization from a deteriora tion characterized "more by fins and fads, luxury spots and cellophane than the solid virtues of yesteryear." Dr. John Richards gave his evaluation of the course of the Western world at a dinner honoring Dr. Dorothy O." Jo hansen, the Reed College pro fessor who is retiring from the Portland school board af ter eight years. Dr. Richards declared that Western civilization may ac tually have passed its zenith. He cited failure of the nation to extend educational re sources at the same rate as population growth; failure of the two-party system to differ entiate between liberals and conservatives: anti - intellec- tualism which is present even in some universities: recur ring economic crises, and a failure to solve the problem of over-population. An increasing number of executives, professionals and persons who own their own businesses are moving to Medford, according to the quarterly report of Newcom ers Service. Executives and profession als amounted to 24.3 per cent for the first quarter of 1958 compared with 15.5 per cent during the same period of 1957. Those owning their own businesses amounted to 14.7 per cent of the newcomers this year compared to 7.7 per cent last year, service figures show. The trend to higher income newcomers was noted further by 17.3 per cent purchasing homes this year compared to 10.9 per cent for the previous year, noted Olive Keller Lowry, owner and manager of the service. "While Newcomers Service is happy to assist any new comers to the valley, its pri mary purpose is quick inter gration of permanent families in which the head of the fam ily is gainfully employed," the manager explained. First-quarter new families this year represent 401 indi viduals. They have 95 pre school children and 76 chil dren in the 6 to 18 age group. Deficiencies Told In Coroner System. Portland (IP) A leading pathologist said Wednesday there are many deficiencies in the county coroner system as it usually operates. Dr. Alan Richards Moritz, director of the Institute of Pathology at Western Reserve University in Cleveland, said that in half the states it is not required that coroners be medical doctors and they are politically elected. He said the coroner's job was one for a technical expert "in no way bearing on politi cal qualifications but on ability." Dr. Moritz said Maryland and Virginia had instituted the state medical examiner system and that they have had outstanding results.
