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.

Tregoff along with six other'
witnesses to testify at the pre

ate a first degree murder
charge against the 41-year-old
defendant.
Deputy district . attorney
Fred C. 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.
Whichello, calling the con
tents ''implements of vio
lence," said they included 13
shells for a .38-caliber re
volver, an eight-inch knife,
two lengths of clothesline,
medical alcohol, Seconal cap
sules, a . flashlight, surgical
gloves and bandages.
The prosecutor said the
brown case was found the day
after the slaying by Dr.
Finch's father, Dr. Raymond
R. Finch, who lives next door.
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.

Bill Would Cut
Postal Subsidies
To Magazines
Washington -(UPD- Rep,
George M. 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.
