In the Day's Hews By FRANK JENKINS BIG news: Mr. Nixon, Mr. K and their by-this-time famous spat. They sure slugged it out. Educators Approve College Buildings And Other Projects BUT In the end They SHOOK HANDS. The handshakes, to be sure, was a little offish. One gather ed from the news accounts of the affair that they were a bit like a couple of dogs that can't decide whether to fight it out or wag their tails and call it a draw. "Anyway, they shook on it and called it a day. WAS it good? ' Or was it bad? Here's the way the Saturday morning dispatches described the crowd's reaction to the swapping of verbal punches. Read it and draw your own conclusions: NIXON (the dispatches re late) won only listless ap plause when he arrived Thurs day for goodwill tour of Rus sia, but he drew BOOMING CHEERS from both Russians and Westerners Friday night at the American Exhibition, The Moscow crowd of sev eral thousand gave a lusty cheer for Khrushchev when he appeared at the opening ceremony and then cheered ALMOST AS LOUDLY for the American whose verbal sparring match with Khrush chev was probably unequaled in history. OFTEN enough, I think many of us will agree, one comes to respect greatly persons with whom one has slugged it out in free-wheeling, extrovert spats in which the sparks fly and no punche. are pulled. Let's hope it works out that way in the case of the Nixon- Khrushchev battle. f ORE 'big international news: A classic Japanese beauty, whose sole ambition is "to make a lovely wife," today wears the crown of Miss Uni verse the first Asian winner in the pageant's eight-year history. Akiko Kojima, a 22-year- old Tokyo high-fashion model who supports her widowed mother, won the title at Long Beach Friday night before 4500 cheering spectators in the ocean-front Municipal au ditorium. She lives in Tokyo with her 19-year-old brother Takao, whom she hopes to send through college with her earn ings from the contest. A DISAPPOINTMENT? Let's say NO and mean it. Let's say rather that in a world in which we want to be LIKED, rather than ENVIED, it is a graceful gesture that will ko far to win us friends and admirers. The contest was held in the United States. Whatever the facts may be, it will be nresumed tnrougn out the world that amajority of the ludees were Americans - Under such circumstances, the choice of Miss U.S-A. to be Miss Universe would have been interpreted as another in- . stance of what our enemies term American bumptiousness and self-elorificauon. The choice IN AMERICA of Miss Japan to be Miss Uni verse spikes that propaganda mm. I'm sure that if our Terry Lynn Huntingdon had held in her hands the power of de cision she would have voted to do it as it has been done She appears to be that kind of person. ANYWAY, we have here. in our mythical State of Jef ferson the United States of America's loveliest and most charming young woman. That's glory enough. ' About one out of seven workers in the U. S. is rated as skilled labor. Ashland - State board of higher education members in day-long meetings yesterday, July 27, on the Southern Ore gon college campus, approved a number of building and oth er projects for the system and postponed for further study a request by Oregon State col lege for a degree program in humanities and social sciences. Contracts totaling $1,310,- 000 for additions to the Me morial Union building at OSC were approved, as was Chan cellor John R. Richards' re port on land purchase and re habilitation projects amount ing to $735,000. Of this figure, one-half was earmarked for 1959-60 and the other $367, 000 for 1960-61. Preliminary plans for a married student housing proj ect for the University tf Ore gon were presented and the architects were instructed to proceed with the preparation of final plans for the first 49 units requiring an expendi ture of $388,000. Science Building Science building additions at the university were also approved. Based upon esti mates of construction prices expected to prevail when the project is undertaken in 1960, the architects estimate that the direct construction costs will be $1,650,432 including built-in laboratory furniture and equipment. Completion of the eighth floor of the University of Ore gon Dental school was also given the green light with an estimated cost of $146,900"of which $75,000 was appropri ated by the 1959 legislature, and S71-900 to be received by the U. S. Public Health Service. From the estate bequest of Charles Henrv Waldon. the university's medical school will receive $5,000 under a compromise agreement reach ed between the board and the heirs upon recommendation of the attorney general. Architect Appointed The appointment of the ar chitectural firm of Burns, Bear. McNeil and Schneider of Portland to prepare plans and specifications for a new dormitorv service building at OSC was also made by the board. Scheduled to have a gross area of approximately 15.000 sauare feet, the esti mated cost of the structure is $120,000 of which about $105,000 will be available for construction costs. Source of the balance of the funds need ed is to be determined by the board at a later date. A nroDosal to add approxi mately 1,200 square feet of floor space to the animal di agnostic laboratory at Oregon State college at a cost of ap proximately $12,000 also met with approval. At the present time, the diagnosis of birds is handled in the main Veterinary-Poultry building, it was pointed out, and that the con solidation of this work with the rest of the diagnostic pro gram was necessary in order to minimize the possibility of spreading infetcious diseases. Forest Science Lab Tentative approval was giv en for a site and a proposed lease agreement for the loca tion of the Western Forest Science laboratory of the U. S. forest service on the OSC campus for which an item in the federal budget for the fis cal year 1961 provides the necessary funds. The area chosen for the laboratory is a three -acre tract immediately west of the site to be used in the future for a new forestry building. In addition to the construc tion, it was stated that pay ment of personnel and facili ties would come from outside Ex-Receptionist To Appear During Dr. Finchs Trial funds. The board also con curred in the sale of a resi dence in Portland acquired from the estae of Mary Eliza beth Forbes B u r r e 1 1, for $6,275, the money to be used for an endowment and for li brary book purchases. Completion of the student center - commons building at Oregon College of Education will necessitate the remodel ing of the food service area and the rehabilitation of por tions of Jessica Todd hall. It was recommended by the board that Architect Warren J. Carkin, Salem, be appoint ed to make a preliminary sur vey of the work needed and provide architectural services for the project. Obtain Property President Elmo N. Steven son of Southern Oregon col lege, recommended the acqui sition of the Roberts property located at the corner of Weightman and Iowa sts., Ashland. Though outside the currently - approved campus boundaries of SOC, it is in the future development area for applied arts and physical edu cation. To avoid the sale of the property last fall to the Ash land school district, it was n&cessary for the college to secure a long -term option from the owner which expires in August. The recommenda tion was accepted by the board with the price of the property announced as in ex cess of $13,000. Approval of courses and staff for transfer courses at Central Oregon college in Bend was also made in accord ance with the community col lege law. Beginning in Janu ary, 1960, all course changes for COC will be submitted for consideration at the same time and in the same manner as those for state system insti tutions. Institute Site Directpr Winston Purvine of Oregon Technical Institute, Klamath Falls, appeared be fore the board with an invita tion for Chancellor Richards and board members to inspect the proposed site for its new location Wednesday after noon. He gave a brief history of the institute and described the new site as an excellent one from four standpoints: Close access to the city; more than 100 acres-and less than 125; underground hot water flow for heating purposes; and proper slopes and expos ure for the melting of snow and frost. West Covina, Calif. - (DPD -Carole Tregoff, 22-year-old former receptionist who has vowed she will stand by ac cused wife slayer Dr. Bernard Finch, was expected to be called today to testify about the night socialite Mrs. Bar Barbara Finch was killed. Miss Tregoff, a divorcee, was with the society doctor July 18 when he confronted his estranged wife at their $80,000 home here. They struggled and Mrs. Finch pull ed a gun, Miss Tregoff told police. But she said she did not ac tually see the shooting of Mrs. Finch. At the time of Finch's ar rest, Miss Tregoff s story of how she drove him here from her Las Vegas, Nev., apart ment, dashed Finch's possible alibi that he had been in that desert city at the time of the slaying.

Whichello revealed Monday in the opening day of the hearing the "highly significant" contents of an attache case belonging to Finch and found at the mur der scene.

He turned it over to police saying, "This is my son's ten nis case," Whichello said. Finch earlier said there was nothing in the bag a doctor doesn't regularly use in his work. He is not expected to be called to testify during the preliminary hearing. Miss Tregoff attended the hearing Monday but received only one quick glance from Finch during the session. They looked into each other's eyes briefly and smiled during a recess. Whichello said he was issu ing a subpoena against the late Mrs. Finch's attorney, Glenn Martineau, ordering him to produce her will in court. He said he hoped the document would provide a motive for the slaying. Life Raft Taken From Display Outside Store A life raft valued at $29.95 was taken from .

Rhodes (D-Pa.) proposed legislation today to cut postal subsidies to large newspapers and magazines. He said they now cost the tax payers more than 200 million dollars a year. Rhodes bill, being intro duced today, calls for a grad ual reduction in -bsidies over a five-year period. It would put a five-million-dollar limit the first year on the subsidy to any newspaper and magazine over and above the Post Office Departments cost of handling the publica tions. The limit would drop to three million dollars the sec ond year, one million the third, $500,000 in the fourth, and $100,000 in the fifth and all succeeding years. Rhodes compared his pro posal to limitations placed on soil bank payments and farm price support loans. Cannot Oppose Jill "These publications which benefit most from postal sub sidy handouts have been ex tremely critical of the cotton, wheat, and other farm pro grams,' he said in a statement. "Therefore, they cannot hon estly and consistently oppose this legislation." Rhodes cited Life maga zine as an example of the ex tent of subsidies to large pub lications using second class mail. He said Post Office fig ure showed it cost the depart ment $9,400,000 more to de liver the magazine than Life paid on second class mail rates in 1956. The House last year ap proved an amendment by Rhodes to limit second class mail subsidies to $100,000 a year, but the Senate reject edit. . TTie Pennsylvania congress man said publishers objected then that the amendment would have too much of an immediate economic impact upon their businesses. He contended that his new bill would overcome that ob jection through a gradual re duction in subsidies. - .
