Alton fell into the habit of singing out, "Close your eyes, girls!

Variety reports that one

gasped with the realization
that she'd been falling for

An angry diner at a newly

waiter. "You'll never get by
with portions like this. I don't
think I've ever seen a smaller
piece of steak in my life."
-You're right," agreed the con

A draftee of Italian Eneage dropped into a South Carolina beanery

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
Something interesting has
happened in Oregon. It will be
interesting, I'm sure, to news
paper people in Oregon-and
to newspaper people every
where. I think it will be in
teresting to the PEOPLE of
Oregon, and to the general
run of people everywhere.
rpHIS is what happened:
Four editors of the Port
land Oregonian (large news
papers have many editorial
writers) were SUBPENAED to
appear at 3 pjn. Monday be
fore the taxation committee of
the house of represenatives of
the Oregon legislature.
Webster's Collegiate Dic
tionary defines a subpena as
"a writ commanding the per
son designated in it to attend
court under a PENALTY for
failure." Presumably, the com
mittee has the power to sub
pena the Oregonian's editors
under a 1953 Oregon legisla
tive act authorizing such pro
cedure for witnesses before a
legislative committee.
TUHAT did these editors do?
" The chairman of the com
mittee says they "have gra
tuitously given the committee
a great deal of advice."
may assume that the
committee or its chairman
hasn't relished the advice, and
so the editors are to be given
a little touch of being fried
in the pan. After having been
fried in the pan, they may be
a little less brash hereafter
with advice especially crit
ical advice.

THIS newspaper doesn't try
to run the town. It doesn't
believe that running the town
is a part of the newspaper's
business. The newspaper's pri
mary job is to tell the people
accurately and objectively
whati s going on in other
words, to print the news.
But
The newspaper's traditional
secondary job is to offer com
ment and opinion even AD
VICE on what should be
done in a given set of circum-
stanaces. The newspaper has
been doing that as long as
there have been newspapers.
Indeed, the earlist journals
were inclined to offer more
advice than news. The import
ance of opinion is recognized
by the fact that the newspaper
that has no opinions of its
now is seldom highly respect
ed in Oregon or elsewhere
Some newspapers give very
poor advice. Some of them try
to run the town in ways in
which the town shouldn't be
run. But the public soon gets
onto them, and they lose pub
lic respect. The public itself
takes care of that kind of
newspaper.
rpHE newspaper is often re-
ferred to as the Fourth
Estate.
. Whence that term?
It's an interesting tale.
THE phrase Fourth Estate
was first used back in the
1700's by the great English
statesman, Edmund Burke.

Extensive Changes Seen in Hear
Future at
(Editor's note: This as an
other on the series of arti
c 1 e s describing problems
confronting higher educa
tion in the next decade in
Oregon. Today's article dis
cusses the problem at Ore
gon College of Education.)
When the post-war enroll
ment peak hit Oregon College
of Education 10 years ago, a
new era was heralded on the
campus. The influx of veter
ans from World War II meant
that the small teachers college
must accept a new and bigger
role. During the 10 years just
past, new classroom buildings
and dormitories were erected.
The staff was increased sig
nificantly in size and the cur
riculum underwent vast
changes.
But the changes that took
place from 1948 to 1958 were
minor compared to those
which the administration and
faculty believe must occur
during the next decade to
meet the demands of a grow
ing population.
The basic factor in planning
for the next 10 years concerns
the rising tide of students who
are now in the state's grade
schools and high schools.
Public School Education
OCE President Roy E. Lieu
alien expects that the coming
10 years will see powerful
forces pressuring public school
education. These will include
on the one hand pressures to
adopt educational practices
which will reduce expendi
tures, pressures to educate
only those with relatively high
acadmeic potential, and pres
sures to limit the public school
surriculum to a narrow list of
.college preparatory subjects.
At the same time, counter
forces may argue ever and
ever , increasing expenditures
for education, the expansion
of school services to serve all
of the needs of the growing
child, and a curriculum calcu
lated to prepare for a wide
variety of post-high school ac
tivities.
The staff at OCE, recogniz
ing these considerations, has
determined that its role dur
ing the coming decade will
continue to be that of a qual
ity teacher education" institu
tion. This attitude was reflect
ed in the judgment of the fac
ulty to recommend retention
of "Education" in the title
of Oregon College of Educa
tion. Three Considerations
Three essential considera
tions in planning for the
growth ahead are: the size of
the physical plant: the size
and quality of the staff; and
the quality and kind of study
programs.
President Lieuallen has out
lined a 10-year expansion
plan which calls for five new
buildings and additions to two
others. Buildings scheduled to
be started within the next
year include a heating plant
and warehouse plus a student
center and dining commons.
Two dormitories, one each for
men and women, are included.
A major classroom is proposed
during the latter part of the
decade.
The library, heart of any ed
ucational institution, is grow
ing beyond the expectations
of its planners. Originally de
signed to house no more than
40,000 books, it now has in ex
cess of 46,000 and more than
2,000 are being, added 'every
year.
Added Degree
When OCE was established
76 years ago, producing ele
mentary education teachers
was the main function of the
institution. This field of study
continues to attract more than
half of the total student body.
Added five years ago was
high school or secondary edu
cation, a rapidly growing, pro
gram in which one-fourth of
the students are enrolled.
Fulfilling its role as a re
he said: "Yonder sits the
Fourth Estate, more important
than all others."
By "all others," he meant
the three "estates," or classes,
that made up the States Gen
eral governmental system of
France. These three were the
clergy, or the First Estate, the
nobility, or the Second Estate,
and the common people, or
the Third Estate.
History tells us that the rise
of the Third Estate the com
mon people has been prac
tically synoymous with the
rise of the Fourth Estate (the
newspaper) which, by telling
the news, explaining its mean
ing and OFFERING OPIN
IONS on the news, has aided
immensely in the rise of the
common run of people to their
present status.
Freedom of the common
people really began with free
dom of the press to SPEAK
OUT.
SO WHAT?
Well, I hope that when
these editors of the Oregonian
go into the pan to be fried in
Salem on Monday they defend
whatever advice they have
given and I hope they
DOUBLY DEFEND their right
to offer opnion, comment and
even advice whenever they
conceive it to be a part of their
duty to the public to do so.
That is a part of the news
paper's job.
Education
gional college. OCE offers
work leading to a bachelor of
science degree to general
studies. A wide variety of
work is available for pre-pro-fessional
students.
An experimental program
designed to offer greater chal
lenge to students with high
academic potential was started
this fall. If successful, it will
be expanded as part of the
College's over-all program for
those with outstanding talent.
Of major concern to OCE
administrators in the next
decade is that of maintaining

Welfare Fund
Request Deferrred
By Committee
. Salem-(UPD-A subcommittee
of the Joint Ways and Means
Committee today deferred ac-;
tion on the request of the
State Public Welfare Com
mission for a deficiency ap
propriation of $1,900,000 to
cover increased welfare costs
during April, May and June
of this year.
The committee also request
ed Leon D. Margosian, state
budget administrator, to in
vite Gov. Mark Hatfield to
appear before the joint com
mittee. Previously, a recommenda
tion of the State Finance De
partment, apparently made
with the approval of the gov
ernor, recommended a defici
ency appropriation of $900,
000. Miss Jeanne Jewett, wel
fare administrator, said the
deficiency would probably be
between $1,600,000 and $1
900,000 for the next three
months.
Not Be 'Browbeaten'
Sen Jean Lewis (D-Port-land)
declared that she would
not be "browbeaten into mak
ing a decision in two days."
"In February of this year
the Welfare Commission esti
mated a deficiency of $500,
000,'' Sen. Lewis said. "Why
has this figure jumped to
$1,900,000, I want to know."
Including federal, county
and state contributions, Sen.
Alfred Corbett said the wel
fare budget for the next two
years would be about $100
million.
Cost to Counties
Sen. Edwin Durno (R-Med-ford)
made the motion, to de
fer action on the request, say
ing he felt that the governor
should first express his views.
Rep. George Annala (D
River) asked what would the
"costs be to counties if the
deficiency appropriation was
made. He was told that if the
$900,000 appropriation was
made it would cost counties
an additional $250,000.
Rep. Verne Cady (R-Burns)
proposed that the welfare
budget be kept at the same
level as during the present

'Foreign Duty'
Ruling Sought
Washington -UPD- The gov
ernment still pays a "foreign
duty" allowance to soldiers,
sailors and airmen serving in
the new state of Alaska.
The same is true for Hawaii,
which now will become the
50th state.
The Pentagon said today
that the extra pay allowance
runs from $8 to $22 a month
depending on rank.
The law provides such for
eign duty pay, the Defense
Department said, for military
men serving "outside the con
tinental United States and in
Alaska."
The comptroller general of
the United States has been
asked for a ruling on whether
a quirk could expand the
numbers drawing foreign duty
pay..
The law providing foreign
duty pay specifies that no res
ident of a territory or posses
sion shall draw the extra pay
for service in that territory or
possession.
Since Alaska is not any
longer a territory and Ha
waii soon will not be either.
the comptroller general has
been asked whether foreign
duty allowances should be
given to residents of the new
states serving at military in
stallations in their own states
The Pentagon said there has
been no ruling yet.

Killer of Four
Sought by Police
Washington -(CPP- Police in
Maryland, Virginia and the
District of Columbia, backed
by 75 FBI agents, today map
ped one of the East's biggest
manhunts for the killer of a
Virginia family of four.
A "general staff of top
homicide investigators will
coordinate the hunt, spurred
by the similarity of the mur
ders to five other unsolved
slayings in the Washington
area during the past four
years.
Washington police entered
the case Saturday when the
bodies of Mrs. Carroll V. Jack
son, 27, and her daughter,
Susan 5, were uncovered in a
shallow grave near Gambrills,
Md.
The bodies of her husband,
29, and another daughter, Jan
et, 1, were found in a sawdust
pile near Fredericksburg, Va.,
on March 4. The family had
been missing since Jan. 11
when they were abducted
from their car on a lonely
road near their home south of
Fredericksburg.
Police theorized the killer
was familiar with the two

ington, and may live here.
The interstate character of
the Jackson killings brought
the FBI into the case.

The temblor, first recorded
at 6:21 p.m., was felt as far

Test on Theory
Of Life Suggested
London-TCPD-A scientist sug
gested today the launching of
a meteor-catching satellite to
test a theory that life arrived
on earth from another star or
planet by means of meteors.
Dr. M. H. Brigges of the
Thomas More Institute in
Montreal wrote in "Space
flight," organ of the British
Interplanetary Society, that it
seemed probable some forms
of life, bacteria spores for ex
ample, could survive the jour
ney through space.
If such spores were found
on meteors trapped by the
recoverable satellite it would
be "strong support" for the
theory that life began on
earth through the arrival of
a meteorite although, he add
ed, it would not absolutely
prove it.
Briggs said it was possible

offspring of another planet.
"Every time we look into a
