State Building Needs
In last Sunday's Mail Tribune was a rather
long story detailing the findings of the legislative
fiscal committee, to the effect that better utiliza
tion of classroom space will make it unecessary
to build new instructional buildings for several
years on Oregon's campuses of higher learning.
The report, prepared by Kenneth Bragg, leg
islative iiscal oliicer, makes a lot of sense, par
ticularly in view of the fact that Oregon's fiscal
needs are in excess of the
sight Governor Hatfield's blithe assurances to
the contrary notwithstanding.

room building needs without at the same time
damaging educational quality, well and good.

statement made by Mr. Allen

Committee of Congress on
Nov. 13, 1959.
And for the closely related
question of how increased pro

recommend a little book
which has just been publish
ed. It is called "The Question
of Government Spending." It
is by Prof, F. M. Bator of the
M a s s a chusetts Institute of

book to read, and it requires
close attention. But it is ob

analytical, and it will, ! think,

Difficulties Beset Khrushchev Beneath

Crops Fail
Dust storms sweeping as
far to the west as Yugoslavia
were harbingers of a vast
crop failure in Kazakhstan,
one of the 15 republics with
in the U.S.S.R. whose bor
ders extend from the lower
Volga to the frontiers of Red

It was to Kazakhstan that
Khrushchev shipped millions
of young citizens of the
U.S.S.R. in an ambitious pro
gram to turn virgin lands Into

San Francisco
Said Naturally
Air Conditioned
Boston -(Science Servicel-
San Francisco has a complete
ly automatic, built-in air con
ditioning system that not only
gives it cool summers and
mild winters but also results
in substantial economic advan
tages to commercial jet air
craft operators.
San Francisco has mean
summer temperatures lower
than those of any other large
city in the United States.
In July, the average maxi
mum temperature is a cool 64
degrees. In September, the
warmest month, highest tem
peratures average a comforta
ble 68 degrees, Halbert E.
Root of the U. S. Weather Bu
reau at the San Francisco In
ternational airport reported.
Due To Location
Mild weather In the San
Francisco bay area is due to
its particular location on the
eastern shores of the Pacific
ocean and to Its topography.
These combine to provide
what amounts to a naturally
automatic atr-condltloning sys
tem, Root reported in the cur
rent issue of Weatherwise,
published for the American
Meteorological Society here.
In the present age of jet-
powered aircraft, the cool
temperatures and brisk winds
of this air-conditioned region
provide great advantages for
air travel. These result from
the fact that the thrust of a
Jet engine depends directly on
the density of the air (the den
sity being greater at lower
temperatures), and that each
mile per hour of headwind on
take-off means less speed need
be provided by the plane's en
gines in order to reach flying
speed.
Planes Can Carry Mora
When compared to a near
by inland location, Jet planes
departing from San Francisco
International airport could
carry an average of as much
as 12,000 pounds more per
flight, Root reported.
San Francisco's air-condi
tioning system also supplies
sailing enthusiasts with excit
ing sport to test their skill. At
the peak of flow on a normal
ebb tide, the water is rushing
out under -Golden Gate bridge
at a rate of about 4,600,000
cubic feet per second, about
seven times the flow of the
Mississippi river.

To the Editor: "Mump

they cling obstinately to old

gardless of right or reason.
"Sumpsimus," is the correct
expression for replacing an

Many pseudo-false mump
slmus errors in history books,

any study, where careful re

taken, these errors are repeat

How Much Longer?
To the Editor: I have been
persecuted by our United
States Government ever since
1918, and it is now 1960 which
figures out to be about 42
years. I wonder Just how
much longer this is going to
continue on.
I have even put items in
newspapers accusing our Gov
ernment of being crooked.
Has the Government said any
thing about It or made any
denials? Could it be that truth
is stronger than fiction?
If Mr. J. Edgar Hoover and
his whole organization is as
honest as he wants the public
to believe, then why is our
country in such a. mess? I
defy him or any of his prize

Lost Mine Still Waits
To the Editor: It's there
somewhere, waiting to be
found -the lost sheepherder's
gold. To all available infor
mation the search continues.
The lost Owyhee Sheep-
herder's long lost gold story
recalls to me what a Prine
ville, Ore., rancher told me
ten years ago about a home
steader. A number of years
before he had picked up some
fabulous rich gold specimen
rock near the head of a dry
wash, but having no knowl
edge of the source of the
find, gave no further heed to
the Incident.
By making an unofficial
survey of the region on a state
map we are Inclined to be
lieve the lost mine is much
farther west than had first
been anticipated by the for
mer searchers around 48
years ago. To our way of
thinking the area would take
an intensive amount of close
searching as the most likely
and probable method would
call for the presence of min
eral formations associated
with gold bearing ore.
To be sure, there is a vast
amount of desert to be gone
over, and is the main reason
that so much of the surround
ing area is bleak and dry, al
though a rich find may await
some desert rat sometime.

Mr :,.. ...
Rockefeller share
Their problem is to get the
n.omLna on 'or President of
the United States handed to
them on a silver platter, with
perhaps decorations, like
watercress or Darsiev

adds:
"Mr. Nixon also has a prob
lem. His problem Is how to
keep the conservative Repub
licans behind him and still
keep enough independents
and switch - over Democrats

to win."

independents and Democrats
and Republicans who switch

have to keep his 40 per cent
and try to cut into the nebu

problems involving getting
elected to office. Any way to
get there seems' to be the
modern idea.
But -
Will Shakespeare, who liv

ago, gives us in his immortal
Hamlet a more admirable
way:
"This above all; to thine
own self be true,
"And it must follow, as the
night the day,
"Thou canst not then b
false to any man."

IN OTHER words:
JUST BE YOURSELF."
It isn't bad advice.
