accused Georgia Governor

Roy Harris, editor of the
Weekly Augusta (Ga.), Cour

Delay Asked
The school board has asked
Judge Lemley J.o de-integrate
Central High until mid-term,
1961. It contends forced in
tegration caused such bed
lam that neither whites nor
Negroes can be taught prop
erly. Witnesses have testified to
searching 2,600 lockers 43
times last year for reported
bombs. They found fires in
locked lockers and reported
terrorism in schoolrooms.
They said students fouled hot
air registers in rest rooms
spreading stench through the
school.
School board President
Wayne Upton predicted trou

as long as Orval Faubus is
governor of Arkansas.
Blossom said the Fifth U.S.

Blossom said "people told

Suavies Island
Box Factory Struck
Portland (UPI) About
200 members of the AFL-CIO
International Woodworkers of
America were on strike today
against the Western Wire
bound Box Company, located
near Sauvies island here.
The walkout occurred over
union demands for a 7V-cent
hourly wage increase, accord
ing to E. R.' Coolter, business
agent of IWA local No. 5-3. He
said present base scale for
men was $1.70 an hour and
for women $1.60 an hour.
Operations at the box com
pany were not included in
the recent wage-freeze agree
ment between lumber firms
and the IWA.
The IWA earlier this week
struck the Oregon Lumber
Company at Westfir after the
company asked that fallers
and buckers be paid on an
hourly basis instead of by
piece work.
Hatfield Praises
Oregon Colleges
Salem (UPI) Secretary
of State Mark Hatfield said
today he was sorry to see the
Pacific Coast Conference dis
band but he congratulated
Oregon and Oregon State for
maintaining educational
standards and refraining from
"putting a moral price tax"
on athletic competition.
"Our Oregon institutions
see their responsibility to turn
out citizens, some of whom
may also be athletes and they
have recognized the emphasis
that parents and indeed most
taxpayers want in their edu
cational facilities," Hatfield
said.
"We have played the game
by the rule book. We have
won consecutive Rose Bowl
selections. And we have
turned out men who can hold
their heads high with self-respect,"
Hatfield continued.
Hatfield is a former dean
of students at Willamette Uni
versity here.
Silver Dollar Tips
Being Given Out
Silver dollar tips are now
being given waitresses in res
taurants of this area for pro
motion of dairy products as
part of the nationally ob
served June Dairy Month, ac
cording to George Holt, pub
licity man for the Milk Pro
ducers League.
If a waitress voluntarily
suggests milk to a customer
and that customer happens to
be a representative of the
Milk Producers League, she
will be given a silver dollar.
If not, yie representative will
leave her a small card which
states: "Your next customer
may be another silver . dollar
tipper for suggesting milk. I
was." . 11
The league has a total of
$200. which it will use for the
tips. Aim is to promote sale
and consumption of ny Ik. in
restaurants.
Ceramic materials which
the . usually brittle are being
bent by a process now under
development.
A woman loses little face by
not advancing professionally,
but a man must bend all ef
forts to forge ahead if he is .to
be regarded as a successful
man among men, and the
kind of a husband a wife can
be really proud of. .
Education Underlies
American Society,
OEA Official Says
Education underlies the
entire American society,
economy and political scene,
Cecil Posey, executive secre
tary of the Oregon Education
association, declared yester
day at the Medford Kiwanis
club's weekly luncheon meet
ing at Rogue Valley Country
club.
Posey was principal speak
er for the Kiwanis club's
"Teacher Recognition Day."
Twenty Medford and vicinity
school teachers and two of
ficers of future teacher or
ganizations were special
guests.
Pointing to the role of tea
chers in training others, Pos
ey stated that education un
derlies all the other profes
sions. He asserted that teach
ing is basic in preparation of
of the leadership of this coun
try and that "teachers have
molded the character of our
people and our nation." " The
OEA official said, however,
that the nation forgets this
and that teachers have the
job of building a great pro
fessional as well as instruct
ing students.
Keep Pace
Posey said that teachers as
a group are determined to
keep pace with other profes
sions and gain .their rightful
place in society. He brought
out that, while teaching has
a service, rather than mone
tary, basis, salaries in the pro
fession are lower than those
in a number of other voca
tions. He termed this disgrace
ful, 'while not criticizing the
other professions.
In states where standards
are high,: Posey mentioned,
there is less of a shortage of
teachers.-
Mrs. Maxine Smith, Med
ford, vice president of the
OEA and president - elect,
discussed the department of
classroom teachers. James
McDonald, Medford, president
of the Students National Edu
cation association, and Lynn
Knight, Medford High school,
president of the Oregon state
organization of the Future
Teachers of America, spoke
briefly.
Other guests and the
schools they represented
were:

Scientists Bottle'
Lake Superior
Minneapolis (UPI) Uni
versity of Minnesota scientists
are "bottling" Lake Superior
this summer. i
The university, in an effort
to pick up valuable informa
tion about the direction and
speed of currents in the head
of the Great Lakes, set afloat
5,000 bottles. Inside each is a
post card and a slip of paper
explaining the project and re
questing the finder to fill out
the card, giving date and place
where the numbered bottle
was found.
This is a continuation of a
project started last year. Ex
perimenters reported a 32 per
cent response on the 1,000 bot
tles set afloat.

Washington (UPI) Back
stairs at the White House:
President Eisenhower's de
cision to make more use of
helicopters for short trips has
raised new problems for
White House newsmen. Their
goal is to stay as close as pos
sible to the President. But,
with the exception of prac
tice alert evacuations, White
House reporters have gone
ahead or behind by auto
when the President has flown
in a helicopter.
Wednesday, however, a
new system was tried. White
House Press Secretary James'
C. Hagerty arranged for a
small number of newsmen,
representing all news media
on a pool basis, to go along
with Secret Service agents
in an escort helicopter for
the President's trip to Ann
apolis, Md. This could de
velop into a regular proced
ure. To Include British
Tentative plans call for in
cluding two or three British
newsmen in such a helicopter
pool to cover the President
and British Prime Minister
Harold Macmillan when they
go to Baltimore " next week.
