A requirement that Oregon State students majoring in lib eral arts would have to take at least 27 hours of minors in science during their last two years was declared "unwork able" by the faculty. The faculty committee, headed by Dr. William Crooks, presented a modified version of the board's require ment and drew the support of Chancellor John Richards. Program Review Set The board, however, felt more stringent requirements should be made to bring the minimum requirement in min ors closer to 33 hours over a four year course. The faculty's proposal rang ed from 27, to 36 hours for the minors over four years. The board told the faculty committee to review its com promise program and either bring the minors up to 33 hours or be able to justify them at a lower figure. The board said it hoped to get the liberal arts program into . effect next year. It will consider the revised schedule at its meeting in January. OTI Work Planned The board approved em ployment of the Portland architectural firm of Skid more, Owens and Merrill for preliminary planning on cam pus and building work for Oregon Tech in Klamath Falls. The preliminary plans will be used as a basis for requests to the 1961 Legislature. Even tual plans call for spending some $5 million. Interstate Bridge Toll Due Jan. 4 Salem - (DPI) - As of Jan. 4 tolls will begin on the Inter state bridge at Portland and Vancouver, Wash.

John Kennedy of Massachusetts,' a Democratic Presidential aspirant, have a friendly "chit chat" at dinner honoring Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt in New York. Also attending the DEMOCRATS CONFER Former President Harry S. Tru man takes notes during a pause in his conversation with Adlai Stevenson, right, twice-defeated Democratic Presi dential candidate, at a tribute dinner in New York for Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt. The dinner was given by the Advisory Council of the Democratic National committee. (UPI Telephoto) Truman, Mrs. FDR Disagree on Kind Of Demo Liberals New York - (UPD - Former President Harry S. Truman denounced "johnny-come-lately liberals" in the Democratic party Monday night and Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt promptly disagreed with him. Mrs. Roosevelt said she wel comes every kind of liberal and suggested that "those of us who are a little bit older" may have something to learn from them. Delayed Birthday Party Both 75-year-olds spoke at a $100-a-plate Democratic Ad visory Council dinner billed as a delayed birthday party for Mrs. Roosevelt. Seven top contenders for the 1960 Democratic presi dential nomination were the starred guests at the dinner, attended by 1,500 party lead ers. Truman said none of them was the kind of liberal he was frowning on. He declined to politics. say who was. A good deal of his attack was directed at a New York newspaper which he said had recently "tried to pin a re actionary label" on him. He did not name the newspaper. Not Infallible The New York Post identi fied itself as Truman's target today and replied editorially: "We have been for Mr. Tru man when we believed him to be right and against him when we believed him to be wrong. We consider neither him nor ourselves infallible." The newspaper noted it had criticized both Truman and New York Republican Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller, for ad vocating a renewal of nuclear weapon tests. Stevenson Tops Applause The evening's biggest mes sage for the Democratic party appeared to be: Don't count out Adlai E. Stevenson. Stevenson, two-time loser in the presidential race, received by far the warmest reception of the evening as Truman in troduced seven leading con tenders and predicted one of them would be the nation's next president. But the evening's highlight were the six-minute speeches by the presidential contend ers, including Gov. Edmund Brown of California, Sen. Stuart Symington of Missouri, Gov. Robert Meyner of New Jersey, Gov. G. Mennen Wil liams of Michigan, Sen. John F. Kennedy and Sen. Hubert Humphrey. Rips Into Ike Truman made the main ad dress. He ripped into Presi dent Eisenhower as thwarting the will of the people with vetoes of Democratic con gressional action and also de nounced what he called "hot house" liberals within the Democratic Party. "We need a vigorous, fight ing, genuine liberal, and not a hot-house liberal, who talks the game but doesn't play it," Truman said. Josephine Property Tax Said Lowest Salem -(UPD Josephine coun ty taxpayers, according to sta tistics of the Oregon Tax com mission, pay less property tax than residents of the other 35 counties in Oregon. Property tax percentage in Josephine county is 6.2 of to tal income. Marion county is second lowest in property taxes on a per capita basis with Benton county third. Highest is Sherman county, where the per capita property tax amounts to 15.1 of total dinner were six other Presidential contend ers. The dinner honoring Mrs. Roosevelt was a mixture of sentimental tribute to the 75-year-old widow of the late President and good-natured huallabaloo over Presidential -(UPI Telephoto) Portland Man Named Director Of Development Salem-OJPD-Robert H. Tarr of Portland has been named acting director of the State Department of Planning and Development. H e formerly was deputy director. Also revealed at a meet ing Monday of the governor's advisory committee to the de partment was that former director Julius Jensen, Beav erton, has become a depart ment consultant. This change was effective Dec. 1. Hatfield To Fly East Gerald Frank, chairman of the committee, announced that Gov. Mark Hatfield will fly to three eastern cities to tell the Oregon story to more businessmen. The committee's primary purpose is to attract new industry to the state. The trip, March 20-26, will include meetings in New York, Boston and Chicago. The governor also may stop in Washington, D.C. but not in connection with the busi ness meetings. Trip Helpful - It was learned that the gov ernor's trip to San Francisco about two months ago to at tend an industrial conference resulted in "negotiations for entry into Oregon for very large industry." The industry was not named." Consultant Chester A. Moores, Portland, called for an inventory of how business es are distributed throughput Oregon. He said business must be built up in upstate sections. Overemphasis Seen Committee member Tom F. Sandoz, Astoria, said he felt there has been an "over-emphasis" on power develop ment in Oregon. He also sug gested that the Port of Port land, a state agency, be re named the "Port of Oregon" on the theory that the latter would have more state-wide appeal. A research economist of the department reported that ap plication has been made to the Small Business Adminis tration for a $40,000 grant for a study in Oregon of de veloment of the chemical in dustry.

Lands Lakehurst, N.J. -fl!PD- A Navy blimp with 19 airmen aboard landed safely today after being forced by high winds to remain aloft for nearly two days. The blimp was moored to its mast after failing in two earlier attempts when ground escort vehicles failed to catch West Must Stay Strong, ike Tells Turkey Ankara, Turkey - (UPD In formed sources said today President Eisenhower told Turkish leaders he believes the West must remain strong until Russia agrees to con trolled disarmament. ' They said Premier Adnan Menderes and his advisers found themse'ves so complete ly in agreement with Eisen hower that one 90-minute ses sion of talks sufficed to cover the points they wanted to take up with him. Concern Expressed Turkish leaders were said to have expressed concern over recent hassles among members of the Western al liance and to Eisenhower's surprise - about reports the United States might turn to aiding Russia instead of its needy Allies if international tension were relaxed. The sources said the Turks emphasized the need for har mony among Western nations, criticising recent wrangles over Western strategy involv ing Britain, France and Ger many. A m e r i can officials said Eisenhower's week end visit scored a "marked success" here. French Fries May Control Starlings Portland (UPD A research biologist may have the answer to the starling problem-cold french fried potatoes. John Ludeman, . Fish and Wild-life biologist, said that starlings in the Ontario area are " eating tons of ' waste french fries. The potatoes are treated wih a toxic agent and, says Ludeman, are proving ef fective as a control measure. Ludeman was brought here last month from Sacramento to help fight the invasion of the birds. . He left . here Monday for Roseburg where another in vasion was reported last week. Ludeman added he didn't know whether Roseburg would have enough waste french fries for treatment or not. In Ontario there were plenty of potatoes -available from processing plants there. Transportation Study Scheduled Salem (UPD More than 60 representatives of three coun ties and cities gathered Mon day with members of the State Highway Department and the Bureau of Public Roads to draft preliminary plans for a Portland urban transportation study. Multnomah, Washington and Clackamas county delegates attended, along with repre sentative city delegates. A Portland urban transpor tation study would take three to four years, the group was told. Chief purpose of the study will be to assemble and cata log all facts and information pertaining to present and fu ture transportation problems and needs; land uses and fu ture development, and pre paration of plans and guides for future transportation systems. RUSHED FOR TIME WHILE CHRISTMAS SHOPPING? DON'T BE! 3355 CERTIFICATES" Christmas Gifts Medford her trailing cables The third and successful try was made despite contin ued high winds. . In attempting a landing, the blimp trails two cables from its nose section. Two ground vehicles try to catch the ca bles and hold the blimp steady until the mooring mast can be put into place. Tricky Operation The mooring mast comes to the airship rather than the blimp coming to the mast. It's a tricky operation even under ideal conditions. Huge bags of aviation gaso line were hoisted to the blimp by cable earlier, giving it enough fuel to remain aloft until tonight. One ground crewman re ceived a superficial electric shock during a refuelling op eration, but the Navy said the in-flight refueling was rou tine and the big, ZPG-2 blimp was in no danger. On Routine Patrol It had taken off Sunday morning on a routine patrol flight over the Atlantic. On its return flight, heavy winds at first prevented . it . from crossing the shoreline near Seaside Heights. The 350 foot airship took on fuel over the shore and then flew to the naval air station at Lake hurst, its home base. But officials refused to let it land for fear the winds would push it into buildings near the landing area. iiovoi fluuRcauiflll C3U- mated that 27-mile per hour winds were about the highest the ship could buck to land with some degree of safety. The winds were averaging five to 10 miles an hour above that safety borderline. of the 6 W($76 1 C B Medford Mail pSeose hunger every C sends a Food I Crusade packag So many like him are hungry ...
