study for the OEA, said the
average cost of incidentals
rose by $93 in the last 10
years.
The report said the average
student now pays anywhere
from $1 to $18 per year for
student body ticket; $1 to
530 for "other ticket costs";
fl to $25 for book rental; 35
cents to $25 for book pur
chases and $1 to $27 for "gen
eral supplies for the year."
In addition, Dr. Hummel
reported, locker rental ranges
from 25 cents to $3; gymnas
ium or towel fees from 50
cents to $6; gym suit and shoes
from $1 to $20 and athletic in
surance from $1 to $28. Class
dues range from 20 cents to

an average of $65.28. Special
clothing ranges from 10 cents
to $74 and special transporta
tion from 15 cents to $60.
Graduation expenses and
class jewelry are in addition
to the average costs cited in
the study.
Editor's note: The foreign minis
ters of the 21 American republics
meet in San Jose, Costa Rica, today
on grave problems confronting the
Western Hemisphere. This is the
second of two articles on the back-
round and expected outcome 01
s
he meetings.
By DONALD MAY
Washington- IUPD -"Cuba is
a problem for all Latin Ameri
can to handle," a U.S. diplo
mat said recently. "Let's get
away from thinking of 'Cuba
versus the United States,."
At the meeting of the for
eign ministers of 21 American
hemisphere nations in San
Jose, Costa Rica, this week,
the United States hopes to get
a long-sought chance to apply
this philosophy.
The meeting, which Secre
tary of State Christian A.
Herter will attend, was called
by Peru to consider "threats"
to "democratic principles" in
the hemisphere. It will follow
a foreign ministers session be
ginning Tuesday to discuss
the Dominican Republic.
The State Department many
months ago made the decision
that too-strong measures
against Cuba by the United
States itself would only in
flame Latin American opinion
and add to Soviet propaganda
throughout the world.
Through discreet diplomatic
channels, it has tried to con
vince Latin American coun
tries to join in collective meas
ures to deal with Cuba's brand
of pro-Communism.
Effort Mainly Uuhill
The effort was mainly an
uphill one. Through much of
Latin America, Premier Fidel
Castro's 18-month-old revolu
tion still has strong support,
especially among the poorer
classes.
U.S. diplomats report that
even a fair sampling of Latin
American landowners would
side with Cuba or be reluc-
tantly neutral on an issue of
"Cuba versus the United
States."
But Soviet Premier Nikita
S. Khrushchev's July 9 threat
to rain rockets on the United
States if this country should
Intervene in Cuba and Cuba's
recent trade pacts with Russia
have begun to awaken Latin
American concern.
The foreign ministers' meet
ing is expected to warn the
Kremlin to stay out oi west
ern Hemisphere affairs.
No Direct Action
But U.S. officials see little
indication that the meeting
will directly condemn Castro
in anything like strong terms
or take any joint economic or
political measures against
him.
In preparation for the meet
ing, the State Department a
week ago filed with the Inter
American Peace Committee of
the Organization of American
States a 78-page memorandum
accusing Cuba of trying to
export its revolution and to
upset hemisphere economics
nil "in oDen league" with
Russia and Communist China
The document charged that
the Cuban Communist Party
is the only party functioning
there, that newspapers, radio
stations and labor unions have
been placed under state con
trol and that Castro is amass
ing an army five times bigger
than that of Dictator uigen-
rin Batista whom he over-
thrpw.
Mpanwhile. Cuba has charg
ed the United States in the
United Nations Security (,oun
cil with "economic aggres
sion" in cutting its sugar
Last July the council voted
4 r the case indefinitely
until the OAS could deal with
it. One U.S. strategy at the
Costa Rica meeting will be,
with Latin American backing,
to refer the whole matter of
Cuba, to a future OAS meeting.
Must Mako Report
This, diplomats hope, will
gain block Cuba from pursu
ing its case very far in the
United Nations. The OAS still
will have to make a report to
the United Nations.
The Costa Rica meeting is
expected to operate on two
levels-the public one with
limited action concerning
Cuba, and the closed subcom
mittee level where U.S. and
Latin diplomats hope to en
gage in some frank discussion
on measures they might hold
in readiness to use against the
Castro regime.
Inter - American meetings
have a way of passing mild
resolutions which later turn
into major new mechanisms of
hemisphere relations. The gen
eralities of the 1957 Buenos
Aires meeting later produced
the Inter-American Bank.
Diplomats here say the
Costa Rica meeting might in
the long run be the forerun
ner of new ways ot using tne
OAS presence" in Latin
America - a phrase borrowed
from the United Nations-deal
with threats to hemisphere se
curity.
Waiter Stands By
Rule in IRS Case
Milwaukee, Wis. - (UPD - If
he didn't break the rule, he
couldn't have broken the law.
That's the stand taken by
head-waiter Joseph Schmult
zer of the Milwaukee Athletic
Club against the Internal Rev
enue Service.
The government claims he
owes taxes on more than $27:
000 received in tips. But Sch
mutzer's reply is that the club
has a rule against tipping,
therefore the money members
gave him must be considered
non-taxable gifts. He said he
is backed up by a 1954 tax
court decision.
If Schmutzer loses his suit
in the tax court in Washing
ton, he will have to pay the
government more than $13,-
000 in taxes on the money,
Generally Cooler
Weather Predicted
Washington - IUPD - The U.S.
Weather Bureau predicts that
it will be generally cooler
than normal in the West and
warmer than normal in the
East during the next 30 days
The forecast for the period
from mid-August to mid-September
said temperatures
would be above seasonal aver
ages in the eastern half of
the United States except along
the northern and southern
borders.
In the western half of the
nation, generally below nor
mal temperatures were ex
pected except in the extreme
Southwest.
Rainfall is expected to ex
ceed normal in most of the
belt between the Rocky and
Appalachian mountains with
subnormal amounts predicted
for the middle and south At
lantic states and the Far West.
Near normal precipitatioi
was predicted in other areas.
Grange News
Phoenix Grange-
Mrs. Bert Stancllff enter
tained Phoenix Grange mem
bers, Aug. 9, during the lec
turer's program, with films of
historic and scenic spots taken
on their recent tour through
the southern states.
Lecturer Mrs. Ralph Swin
gle reported Phoenix Grange
won second place with their
skit performed at the Grange
Festival, July 30, at Eagle
Point. Acting In the skit were
Mrs. Stancllff and Warren
Loffer.
Vaughn Quackenbush re
ported that sizing of Bartlett
pears will be a problem; also
that it has been proven that
excessive hot weather will
shrink some fruit. Fruit was
measured to obtain this proof.
The possibility of a short
alfalfa seed supply was re
ported by Charles Hocker-
smith. Also a short hay crop
will mean an increase in
prices later so early purchas
es were advised. He stated tne
hogs were up slightly and
sheep and wool were holding
steady. During this report tne
farm support program was ex
plained and how all people
can benefit by it, even though
they are not farmers. It is a
subject that should be
thoroughly studied by all.
Visitors were Mr. and Mrs.
Roscoe Roberts of Roxy Ann
Grange.
Roberts reported on insur
ance and told about the new
home in Portland of Grange
Mutual Insurance.
Several members were re
ported ill.
The serving committee were
Mr. and Mrs. Chester Parker
and Mr. and Mrs. Marcus Norton.
Court Records
Dr. Hummel said there were
two ways to look at some of
the expenses-items necessary
to "keep face" with fellow
students and as simple squan
dering.
He said "Those who coun
sel with teen-agers have real
ized that often those who are
unhappy in school are those
who cannot 'keep face' with
their fellows."
He also said "... $30 junior
proms complete with after
dance steak dinners, trip to
the beach, orchids and tuxe
dos or dinner jackets are not
unusual for the 16-to-18-ycar-old
set."
Some activities, he said, are
being priced out of the ability
of the average family to take
part.

Wall Street
Chatter
New York - IUPD - Despite
dramatic Federal' Reserve
board moves to ease money,
Arthur Wiesenberger & Co.
still feels that there is nothing
in the financial or economic
situation to suggest an early
change in recent stock trends.
It says, in fact, that there is
a fair possibility that spread
ing apprehension over devel
opments abroad, especially in
Africa, may bring about a
stock price decline that would
result in an oversold condi
tion and, therefore, present a
buying opportunity.

in West Oakland. He invested
$2,000 in a World War II

through the area leaving trails
of destruction.
The clouds of dust and de
bris drew a crowd, including
civic dignitaries willing to
help Allen at his task without

smashing away, having -too
much fun to relinquish the
controls of the tank to anyone.
