J. C 115 ',i Bulganin Reported Living on Pension Moscow-(UPD Deposed ex Premier Nikolai Bulganin, having quietly retired from the post as chairman of the Stavrapol Economic Council, is living in Moscow on a $300 a month pension, a reliable source said today. The report could not be con firmed immediately. If true, it would mark the first known instance in which any of the so-called "anti-party group" has retired. Other members of the group, including Georei M. Malenkov, V. M. Molotov and Lazar M. Kaganovich, were dropped from high govern ment and Communist party posts in July 1957. Bulganin continued as Premier until he was replaced by Nikita Khru shchev in March, 1958. Ex-Actress Found Dead in Apartment Hollywood - (UPD - Lynne Baggett, beautiful former act ress and ex-wife of producer Sam Spiegel, was found dead in her apartment Tuesday night, apparently the victim of an overdose of barbiturates. She was 34. . . Police listed her death as accidental pending an autopsy later today. Study Needed On Bill To Aid Aged With Care Washington - (LTD - Secre tary of Health, Education and Welfare Arthur S- Flemming told Congress today the ad ministration believes more study is needed to determine whether the government should help old folks pay their medical bills. Flemming appeared before the House ways and means committee at a closed session. Aides said he would ask for the study even though he has urged the administration to take a stand now in favor of a medical care program for the aged. President Eisenhower re jected Flemming's proposal Tuesday. Approval Hoped House Democratic Leader John W. McCormack (Mass.) said he hoped Congress would approve a medical care plan this year despite administra tion opposition. Democrats see a potent vote-swaying is sue in the subject. Eisenhower's decision set tled a vigorous behind-the-scenes debate. The budget bureau and conservative Re publicans opposed Flem ming's proposal. Some GOP lawmakers felt administra tion support of any medical care program would encour age congressional liberals to push for a more sweeping plan. Thornton Appoints 37 to Crime Prevention Committee Salem (LTD Attorney Gen eral Robert Y. Thornton Tues day appointed 37 persons to his new advisory committee on crime prevention. The group, headed by Port land Attorney Ed W. Eggen, will conduct its first meeting April 22 in the Capitol build ing. Those appointed include: John W. Berry, Pacific University; Florence E.

The critique was prepared by department members B. L. Simmons, curriculum director and head of publications; Wil liam Bear, assistant superin tendent, and John Conway, secondary education director. The report, which recom mends more than 100 study changes for Portland students who are headed for college, was brought out last fall by Dr. Albert R. Kitzhaber of the University of Kansas. The criticism centered on what was called the report's "disdain for the citizenship objectives of the social stu dies ..." Small Worlds Around Us By J,ynn M. Watkins Hawk's Eyes, Speed, Reflex Let Him Catch the Mouse Back and forth across the meadow the hawk glides, me thodically taking, one narrow strip of territory at a time and thereby eventually cover ing the entire area.' Frequently the bird swoops down soaring just above the weed tops, then elevating it self higher to sweep over bushes or trees, only to glide downward again and all the time traveling rapidly. Seemingly, this forward speed it too fast; it would seem that if a mouse were below it the bird would be past and out of range before it could stop. And would the mouse it self, equipped with super sensitive hearing, hear the ap proach, scurry for safety and be gone long before the cruis ing hawk could reverse its course to return to the spot where the mouse was a sec ond before. Of course the hawk posses ses a set of highly developed reflexes and the ability to move with the speed of an electric spark. The mouse is not slow either; it too reacts instantly to all signs of dang er. Here are two different animals, pitted against one another in speed and the ability to react , in an emerg ency; one to escape, the other to prevent that escape. Sensitive Eyesight The hawk, however, has an advantage; an eyesight that is supersensitive to the slightest movement and a hearing prob ably so keen the bird actually can hear the tiny feet w of the mouse moving in the grass roots. Put these facilities to gether, combine them all in a creature whose appetite dic tates and sharpens its already acute senses, and the seur ing of prey becomes relatively easy for the bird of prey. Probably the bird sees the slight tremor in the grass or hears the faint whisper of the little feet or the brush of the furred body against the grass blades or on the ground long before it is over the animal itself. It can make up its mind and be in a downward sweep before the mouse real izes its enemy is upon it. Lack ing the sense of smell the hawk has super-sensitive hear ing and seeing. Spots Everything And flying day after day over the same area it must fix in its mind every tree, shrub and weed clump, and may even, as in the case of a grassy meadow, be able to isolate and later identify each square yard of its hunting area. On later flights any change in the landscape is noticed quickly. Anything there now, that was not there yesterday, is cause for su spicion. This would hardly seem possible in the case of a very small animal like a mouse unless we admit the extra ordinary eyesight the bird possesses. It is altogther pos sible that a small mouse, bare ly five inches in length, may look as large and be as con spicuous to the hawk as a horse would appear to an Fosselman, University of Port land.. ..

Willamette Plans Higher Tuition Salem (UPD Willamette university is raising its tuition next year by $25 a semester and semester room rent will go up $20, according to Presi dent G. Herbert Smith. Smith said the room fee increase will take effect in the fall semester and the tu ition hike at the start of the 1961 spring semester. In a letter to parents and students, Smith said the Wil lamette Board of Trustees was "reluctant" to raise fees. He said faculty salary increases and costly maintenance of buildings and property were main causes for the increase. aviator five hudred feet above the earth. No one so far can definitely say just how telescopic the eyes of a hawk may be. No one has actually "looked through" the eyes of one of these birds. Neither can we say for sure what the scratch ing feet of a hurrying mouse may sound like to a hawk. It may be as loud to the bird's ears as would the hoof beats of a running horse across the planks of a wooden bridge be to human ears.
