Board of Control Secretary Is Type Who Make State Run By DICK HUMPHREY United Press International Salem (UPD-There are help . f ul powers behind every throne - and the Oregon State Board of Control is no excep tion. Veteran Board of Control Secretary Bill Ryan and his ' able assistant, Art Handley, are good examples of the type of people who make state gov ernment run. - The Board of Control, com- . posed of Gov. Mark Hatfield, Secretary of State Howell Ap pling and State Treasurer Sig . Unander, handles all the busi ness of running state institu tions. It's a big job and they need lots of help. Ryan, a former Army colo nel, is no stranger to the kind of staff work needed to keep either a military or a civilian organization running smooth ly. Both he and Handley come to Board meetings most every Tuesday loaded down with notes, letters, reports and memoranda on subjects rang ing from construction of ma jor new buildings to change orders calling for movement of a pioeline one foot to the left. The Board staff is responsi ble for thoroughly informing the governor and his board on how state institutions are be ing run so that major policy decisions may be made with all the facts at hand. Of course, many other indi viduals help in this process Finance Director Freeman Holmer shows up regularly along with heads and staff Ewald Says Steel Hour Amateurish Production By WILLIAM EWALD United Press International New York-flJPD-This is the season of regurgitation on TV and it is only fitting that the U.S. Steel Hour should have elected W e dnesday night to cast up a live re peat. The re tread selected by the CBS- TV drama show was a William Ewaitf Summer Locke Elliott piece, "Wish On the Moon," last seen on TV back in 1953. That original starred Eva Marie Saint and Phyllis Kirk, two ladies who have since gone on to headier projects. Wednesday night's offered Peggy Ann Garner and Erin O'Brien, two ladies who may go on to headier things, but not on the strength of Wednesday, night's outing. "Wish On the Moon" is not a very sturdy vehicle or orig inal one. It deals with two young girls-one questing for a career, the other for a hus-band-whose- paths cross and who wind up clutching each other's dreams. It is a predic table little excursion which takes the path of least re sistance in its dramatic course, is stuffed with cardboard characters and sapless talk. Conceivably, two strong lead players could make the proceedings bearable but Wednesday night Miss O'Brien kept the hour anchored in the slush. Miss O'Brien is a pretty slice of cafes, but her knowledge of the acting trade is wee. Her lacks made things difficult for Miss Garner, a capable actress, who was un able to bounce her part off her teammate. As a result, the hour sagged amateurishly. In minor parts, Biff Mc Guire and William Gaxton dodged in and out of the ac tion with rather embarrassed circumspection. In a minor part, Gerald Hiken as a cukey boy director was beautifully obnoxious. j members of institutions which need board approval for changes in operation or poll cies. Board sessions are very in formal. Everyone in the room rises when the governor; en ters-except the reporters who sit around the Board table in the manner of reporters. After that, Col. Ryan gets out his voluminous reports and the problems are hashed over for a decision by the Board. Sometimes Whispers Once in a while, Col. Ry an's voice descends to a confi dential whisper as he informs the Board on some minor point, but any information he has is readily available to press and public. Reporters have threatened, in private, to don large rubber joke-store ears when this hap pens, but so far it has not been necessary. The Board staff must deal with architects, contractors, institution heads and individu als with gripes about state in stitutions. Their job is to deal with all equally and report their findings to the board. Handley's recent resigna tion to accept a higher-paying job in Wisconsin points up a perennial state problem-how to pay people dedicated to public service enough to keep them in harness. Oregon is hardly alone in working out this problem, but the task of developing intelli gent and competent people to back up the first team re mains. They are key personnel in Oregon government.
