Pearson, Duncan Elected to
Head State Emergency Board
Salem - (UPD - Senate Presi
dent Walter Pearson (D-Port-land)
was elected chairman of
the new State Emergency
Board at its initial meeting
here Thursday.
House Speaker Robert Dun
can (D-Medford) was elected
vice chairman and Sen. Fran
cis Ziegler (R-Corvallis), sec
retary. After adopting rules of pro
cedure both for the conduct
of emergency telephone polls
and the filing of requests for
emergency appropriations by
state agencies, the board con
sidered an agenda which call
ed for an appropriation of
$3,000, the remainder being
requests for transfer of funds.
Transfer Approved
The $3,000 was given to the
State Labor Department to
supplement other funds to be
used in licensing and regulat
ing of farm labor contractors.
The transfers of funds ap
proved totaled $310,000.
In addition there was $2,
500,000 appropriated to the
Board to cover salary in
creases recommended by the
State Civil Service Board for
state employees.
A transfer of $14,034 in
funds already allocated to the
Labor ; Department was ap
proved for adding another em
ployee to regulate highway
signs as provided in approved
House bill 298.
A request for use of $75,
700 to set up a pilot program
on adult civil defense educa
tion, to be financed entirely
by federal funds, was reject
ed. James Turnbull, assistant
superintendent of public in
struction, told the board mem
bers that no commitment had
been made by the department
for expenditure of state funds.
But members of the commit
tee felt thta evenutally the
federal government would re

matching funds and hence
they objected to being one of
the five states selected to con
duct pilot programs.
Highway Money Granted
The Board allowed a trans
fer of $3 million from the
capital outlay allocation to
the . State Highway Commis
sion to finance the accelerated
federal aid highway program.
Forrest Cooper, assistant
state highway engineer, said
the department had held back
the request hoping that money
not expended during the long
construction strike last year
might prove sufficient. But a
spell of good weather allowed
more highway construction
than had been anticipated,
hence the need of the match
money.
Cooper reported that $3,
400,000 of the $12 million
bond issue approved by the
1957 Legislature for recon
struction of the coast highway
in Curry county had been ex
pended and all ' the grading
for the project was now under
contract.
This project is expected to
be completed in 1961.

SOVIET AIDES ARRIVE
Geneva - (UPD - An advance
party of 30 Soviet secretaries
arrived by plane Thursday
from Moscow for the foreign
ministers' conference which
begins Monday.
Washington (UPD Chang
ing the diet of dairy cows
would cut in half the radioac
tivity in milk caused by nu
clear test fallout, according
to scientific testimony before
Congress.
Dr. C. L. Comar of Cornell
University suggested doubling
the amount of calcium in a
cow's diet to reduce the
amount of dangerous stron-
tium-90 in milk.
Dairy products are believed
to furnish about 75 per cent
of the calcium and strontium-
90 taken into the human sys
tem. Since they are chemical
ly similar, the human body
does not distinguish between
them and absorbs them with
equal ease. -Absorbed
by Bones
The strontium-90, a fallout
particle, is absorbed by the
bones, and in large enough
amounts, its radiation can
cause bone cancer and leuke
mia.
Comar testified before a
joint subcommittee on radia
tion holding public hearings
on fallout, the invisible radio
activity released by nuclear
explosions.
Two round table discus
sions with scientists were
scheduled before the subcom
mittee to determine possible
damaging effects of continued
nuclear , testing and the limi
tation of testing necessary to
preserve world health.
Scientists at similar discus
sions two years ago agreed
nuclear testing should be held
to a world total of not more
than 10 "megatons" per year,
A megaton is the equivalent
of a million tons of TNT,
Pregnancy Rate,
Marriages Alarm
Texas PTA Group
Dallas, Tex. -(UPD- The Dal
las Parent-Teachers Associa
tion Council, alarmed over an
increase in teen-age marriages
and pregnancies among Dallas
school children, has voted to
ask that separate schools be
set up for married students.
The PTA acted after a sur
vey disclosed a sharp increase
in the number of school mar
riages and turned up one 12-year-old
and two13-year-old
married students.
The report also said 144
girls have been dropped from
school because of pregnancy.
Officials reported 480 mar
riages this year compared
with 286 in 1957 up 41 per
cent. The figure is about 2 per
cent of the total high school
enrollment.
Superintendent of Schools
W. T. White released the in
formation after the council
asked for a survey. He made
no recommendations, but said
he was "rather surprised" at
the increase.
White disclosed that mar
ried students still in school
have 72 children.
The PTA council said it
would make its recommenda
tion for separate schools to the
school board. It also voted to
ask Dr. White to prohibit
married students from partici
pating in extra-curricular ac
tivities at the schools.
In 1953, the Dallas School
System rescinded its ban on
school attendance for married
students and granted them
full participation after a state
court ruled the ban illegal. In
September of that year 72
married students entered
school.
Dr. White said the in
creased number of marriages
and pregnancies has become
a social problem the schools
can not ignore.
Far more white students
are married than Negro stu
dents, the survey showed.
Sing Sing Prisoners
Get New Privilege
Ossing, N.Y.-(DPD-Sing Sing
Prison inmates have a new
privilege for Mother's Day.
Warden Wilfred L. Denno
has announced that prisoners
may send Mother's Day cards
to their wives if they nave
children. In previous years
inmates could send cards only
to their mothers.
The then-recommended lim- the last two years,
it has been exceeded by an Comar told the subcommit
average of 75 per cent during tee that it would be possible
to remedy the radioactivity
content of milk by changing
cows' diets because the ani
mals' systems, unlike humans,
differentiate between calcium
and strontium-90.
If a cow is fed a diet con
taining equal amounts of the
two elements, Comar said, the
milk will contain only 12
units of strontium for every
100 units of calcium.
