16 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, High Schools Given Praise for Jobs Manhattan, Kan. CtFl A Kansas State College speaker said recently that high schools have done a better job than colleges in recognizing that all persons are not equal in ability. Roy Anpstrong, director of admissions at jNortn around University, also said the high schools have done more to ad just their programs to fit stu dents. "We must recognize the dif ferences in students and must begin to provide oppor tunities for them beyond high school," Armstrong said. "We must give dignity to voca tional and technical training We must give dignity to work." He urged that colleges start giving advanced stand ing to students who are wor thy of it during early days m college. Armstrong said stu dents should be allowed to progress as rapidly, as pos sible. Conscientious Woman Causes Itchy Scalp St. Louis (IP) A conscien tious, and anonymous, woman has caused councilmen a great deal of head scratching just because she found a nickel in Forest Park. Seems she felt it belonged to the Dark commissioner, and she spent three cents to mail it to him. After considerable execu tive conferring and expensive bookkeeping, the five-cent piece wound up in the mis cellaneous receipts fund. That is the customary destination of so-called "conscience fund" contributions to the city. Pittsburgh Plans Auditorium-Arena Pittsburgh (IP) Ground will be broken here soon for a super civic auditorium-arena with the largest retractable roof ever constructed. The entire top of the build ing, in the shape of a huge dome, will be designed to open or close in three minutes. Thus spectators at sports events or a light opera pro duction will be able to sit in the starlight without fear of a drenching from a sudden rain storm. In winter, the $20,000,000 structure also will house trade shows, exhibitions, and con ventions. The dome of the arena will itself be the largest ever built. ' The whole building will cover four acres in the city's rede veloped Lower Hill District. To be built in eight sections, the dome will have a diameter of 415 feet and will weigh nearly three thousand tons. The auditorium will seat about 10,000 and will feature stereophonic sound reproduc tion. A built-in artificial ice rink will accommodate skaters and - hockey games. .CoJJege Professor : Originates Language Iowa City OP) Erich . Tunke, head of the University of Iowa's German department is the originator of a new language called Translingua. Any of the world's 2,800 different languages can - be translated into a numerical code. You may not know what the code means, but a 'native can look up the num "bers in one of the dictionaries prepared by Funke and trans late it to his language. Funke has been working on Translingua for more than six years in an effort to com pile an international com munication system. Rare Coins Give College Education ! University Park, Pa. (IP) -A sophomore engineering stu dent is putting himself through Pennsylvania State University, on a dime or at least on dimes and pennies. Q. David Bowers, 19, of Forty Fort, Pa., runs a thriv ing rare coin business in his spare time between exams. Although the collection started out with only a smat tering of Indian cents and gold pieces nothing to brag about, numismatically speak ing Bowers now thinks nothing of paying $4,750 for a rare 1894 dime. One of seven such coins existing to day, a product of the San Francisco mint, it was put on a New York auction block last November. Last summer. Bowers spon sored a S20.000 public coin auction of his own, operating with a friend as the Perm New York Auction Co. Aside from his profession al collection, which he keeps in bank vaults and of which he is reluctant to estimate the value, Bowers maintains a hobby collection of cents and half-cents of colonial Massachusetts. Oregon, Tuesday, April 29, 1958 Police Complaint Calls Recorded Chicago (IP) Telephone calls to the complaint room of central police headquar ters here are being recorded on tape in the hope of cutting down crank or scare calls. Police Commissioner Timo thy O'Connor had the moni toring system installed as a means of checking whether the two million calls received annually are handled prop erly. The recordings and time slips showing when the calls are made will be kept indefi nitely to be used when check ups are necessary, he said. The commissioner also hopes the recording system would help in tracing calls. Proper Lighting Sparkles Homes Chicago If your home doesn't sparkle as you think it should, it's probably because you haven't the prop er lighting, says an expert in the field., "Good lighting is a combi nation of three different types of lighting," said Richard Kelly, consultant to the American Home Lighting In stitute. Kelly said every home should have attraction light ing, background lighting and charm lighting. Attraction lighting is used for reading, or t o provide working light above the counters in the kit chen. Background lighting is the kind that comes from fix tures that bounce the glow off the ceiling or walls, Charm lighting is a play of brillants which comes from light reflected from glassware or a crystal chandelier. "The trick in lighting is to use these three types in the right balance." Kelly said "At all costs, avoid lighting a room with just one type." Car Wash Drive-ins Create Problems Chicago (IP) The Ameri can Society of Planning Offi cials warns that rapid growth of automatic car wash drive- ins may bring fast cheap serv ice, but they also create prob lems for a city. Traffic tie-ups, excessive noise, fumes and headlight glare may make "minute wash" establishments 'bad neighbors in-certain areas, the society said. Zoning ordinance provi sions for minute washes can keep them out of areas where they would create a noise, the society said. It also felt police regulations might pre vent interference with pedes trian and auto traffic. Lacking a zoning ordinance, the society said, restrictions on noise, fumes and use of water may give partial con trol to a city. MAN'S BEST FRIEND Chicago (IP) Burglars added insult to injury when they broke into William Ship ley's apartment. Not only did they take $1, 000 in jewelry, but they stole his watchdog. MAN! WAT A HIGHWAY Milwaukee, Wis. (IP) Joseph Boesl, 22, was hailed into court Monday for driv ing down the main runway of General Mitchell airfield. He admitted he thought it was "strange" he saw no cross streets while traveling along the strip. ly to?: SAN FRANCISCO go to the' HOTEL that offers the "MOST" Belle HOTEL GEARY at TAYlOt Downtown center of everything, only 2 blocks from Union Square and the finest shops.

Convention Facilities. ft A WALLACE G. ftjl STEELE 'Edge of Truth7 Seen as Successful Performance On 'Studio One' Program Bv WILLIAM EWALD United Press Correspondent New York (IP) In manv ways TV theater works un der the same bum rap as the Broadway theater the "hit" attitude. You deliver a hit or a bomb. There's not much room or sympathy i for the in-be tween show I am not talking about half - h o u r William Ewald TV d r a m a s, Westerns or situation comed ies where everybody is resign ed to mediocrity and accepts it with mashochistic grace. However, what I'm saying is,. I think, true of our attitude toward the big TV drama shows "Kraft." "Plav house 90," "Studio One" and the drama specs. Monday night's "Studio One," on CBS-TV was a case in point. It was called "The Edge of Truth." and was a medium-sized play with me dium-sized objectives. Six months from now, I doubt whether anyone will remem ber it, but within the limits it set for itself, I would say it was successful. Outcome Not Doubted I don't think that anyone over the age of six who watched "The Edge of Truth" doubted its outcome. It was a piece about an honest cop who gives a traffic ticket to a playboy, who, in' turn, lines up a phony witness and 'ac cuses the cop of courting a bribe. The cop, of course, cleared himself. At least, I think he cleared himself CBS - TV interrupted the climax of the show with a news bulletin. If it had been held off just 20 seconds more, it would have interrupted the commer cial instead, but that, as they say, is show biz, TV style. However, to get back to "The Edge of Truth": I don't think it can be summed up by a quick ticking off of its plot. What pinched the play to life was some honest and untricky writing and some business like acting. Among its assets were Glen da Farrell, Scott Forbes, John Jupton and Dolores Sutton. And in a classification by himself I would list Paul Douglas who played the cop with the injured bellicosity of a wounded bull moose. He is the kind of actor who. reeks honestey and authority and is a super-plus for any pro duction. Gracie Allen Amusing Gracie Allen's jury duty caper Monday night on the CBS-TV "Burns and A Hon Show" was pretty amusing. xnose old kmnie shots of 5 UL f ' i " nwi-T lh Cfcranp SLENDER BEAU jY 5.95 In Green Almond, Morningstar Blue.

Dick Ro man, the boy who won the monthly "Talent Scouts" con test was clearly the classiest of the bunch. I watched the ABC-TV Lawrence Welk "Top Tunes" show Monday night and somehow I get the feeling he did the same show last week, only with different tunes. Anyway the teeth are the same week after week the show is blinding excur sion in calcium. CBS-TV will replace the Red Skelton show for the summer with "Spotlight Theatre," a 'new name for old Loretta Young shows without Loretta Young An ita Louise will hostess. Debt Consolidation inq Reason Chicago (IPl The Bureau of Federal Credit Unions says consolidation of debts is still the most frequent reason for borrowing by credit union members, according to a re cent survey. Automobile purchases are among the more definitive reasons for borrowing. Auto loans also were the largest in amount on the average. Dollar value of such mort gages amounted to 30 per cent of the total sum loaned out by federal credit unions in 1956. One conclusion reached by the survey was that the large loan is the exception rather than the rule. This was re flected by figures that show ed most loans still range be tween $200 and $500. These small loans were considered remedial" loans rather than loans for luxury items. Hcifa Retrial Due To Be Held May 12 New York (IP) Retrial of Teamsters President James Hoffa on wiretapping charges has been postponed until May 12 because of a Senate inves tigation into Teamsters activi- Federal Judge John M.
