tronics and scattered specials
led the stock market higher
today.
Monday's advance, the 13th
in the last 14 sessions, brought
the industrials to within 12V2
points of their record high.
But some brokers feel the re
cent advance in the averages
merely reflects a switch in
sentiment from glamour
stocks to the high grades.
The congressional probe
into drug industry pricing
practices brought heavy sell
ing into the section. Schering
and Vick lost 3 or more,
Merck, American Home Prod

better, and Pfizer a point.

Liberal Arts
Compromise
Offered Board
Corvallis A compromise
liberal arts program for Ore
gon State College was offered
to the State Board of Higher
Education Monday by an OSC
faculty committee after the
committee said original pro
posals by the board were not
feasible.
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. The State
Highway Commission said the
toll is 20 cents per car with a
15-cent rate for commuters.

DEMOCRATIC CHIT-CHAT Former Presi

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.

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

a mixture of sentimental tribute to the 75-year-old
widow of the late President and
good-natured huallabaloo over Presidential

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. Girl Recuperating
After Collision
Spokane -(UP&- Little Laura
Louise Kessler, who lost near
ly all her family in a tragic
collision last Thursday, con
tinued to improve at Deacon
ness hospital today.
Attendants said the seven-year-old
girl spent a comfort
able night and is making pro
gress toward recovery.
Laura's mother, stepfather,
two brothers and sister were
killed in the traffic accident
on Highway 10 near Sprague.

Navy Blimp. Forced Aloft by
Winds For Two Days. 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.

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.
