There was general agreement on the report, but no participant was asked to sign it, and it is assumed that not every individual subscribes to every statement. First the 60 participants, divided into three dis cussion groups of about 20 each, went over an agenda and discussed each item in detail, for a total of about S'i hours. Then the discussion leaders and reporters met to prepare a "consensus" report on the discus sions. At the final meeting Sunday, the draft report was gone over word by word by alt participants, and amended as desired by majority vote. Participants represented five northwestern states and all shades of political coloration, and included educators, attorneys, legislators, businessmen, union leaders, editors and clergymen. The foundation of a free society is an educat ed citizenry. As a nation becomes increasingly involved in world affairs and subject to interna tional tensions, the importance of education is materially enhanced. Education tor democracy must effectively cultivate the well being and capacities of each individual while at the same time satisfying the needs of society. The com plexities of modern life of excellence in the higher reaches or Knowledge and the attainment of genuine competence in the general public. The issue before us does not involve a choice between federal and other sources of support for higher education. In addition to the social and civic requirements and demands of the nation, the increase in the numbers of students desiring and capable of benefiting from higher education in the decade ahead will be overwhelming, ihe need is so real and immediate that every source of funds individual, corporate, community, state, and federal must It is recognized that has long been deeply concerned with education and has made vital contributions to it. There are some who fear the consequences of an increase in the extent of fedora: participation in the sup port of higher education. Yet, the hazards of greater federal participation are not comparable to the dangers we will face if the national gov ernment, in company with all other agencies, were not to extend its efforts. On balance, it is there fore believed the extent of federal participation in support of higher education should be increased. The federal government should provide active and intelligent stimulation and support, and where needed, leadership, without stifling in dividual, local and state initiative. Federal sup port should increase, rather than lessen, local and state responsibilities. An important task 01 the federal government is to inform the. public of the urgency and extent of problems and opportunities in higher educa tion. .... ( .,: . .... For the immediate future, an appropriate con tribution of the federal government to colleges and universities will be in the form of non-recurring grants for capital improvements rather than funds for normal operating expenses. However, federal contracts, grants, and loans should be continued, and policies governing further federal support should be formulated. Federal grants, contracts and capital assist ance should be extended ed institutions, but also to private colleges and universities inriof ar as this may be constitutionally proper, and subject to the strictions that apply to .ax Institutions or higher education should pursue excellence in all the arts and sciences and provide a diversity of educational experience. The strug gle for survival will admit of no substitute for education or a quality which will challenge the finest intelligence. At the same time all agences should direct their efforts toward improving the capacity ot colleges and universities to increase competence in the technical skills needed by the nation. In meeting emergent national needs, colleges and universities nv.st be diligent to use their hu man and material resources to best possible ad vantage. Although some consolidation of effort is de sirable, a diversity of federal agencies involved in the administration of aid to higher education is recognized as a deterrent to undue centraliza tion. The following measures are also recommend ed: A. Except where required by the national in terest, universities and colleges shoifld not enter into research contracts involving secrecy. Such secrecy inhibits communication among scholars, and is incompatible with the purposes of a uni visity. B. The National Defense Education Act should be amended to ot the disclaimer attidavit. . C. The federal government should uav both direct and indirect costs on federal programs wnicn are primarily tor the purposes of the gov ernment, rather than the interests of the institu tion. D. Colleges and universities should not enter into contracts and programs that would result in distortions damaging to their proper purposes and programs. E. Federal assistance should be distributed among institutions as widely as possible consistent with the national interest and with the present and potential capacity of such institutions to carry out the programs. F. The federal government's national pro gram of student loans and fellowships should be continued and strengthened. The support of higher education should have a very high priority from all sburces, including local, state and federal agencies. demand the achievement be drawn upon . . . the federal government not only to tax-support same constitutional re - supported institutions. remove the requirements Dennis the ,..W SHE'S NOTOUR MOMeffKIGUT?

" Communications Letters to the Editor must bear the name and address of the writer, although under certain circumstances the use of a pen name or initial for publication, is permissible. The Mail Tribune reserves the right to edit all letters with a view to clarification and condensation. Letters submitted for pub lication must not exceed 400 words. The letters printed in this column do not necessarily represent the views of the paper; in fact the contrary is Seventh Day Sabbath To the Editor: Mary Atkins says: "There is no proof as to which day is the seventh day or Sabbath." For the benefit of Mary and your readers, I would iike to offer some evi dence. Jesus was crucified on Fri day, the preparation day, laid at rest in the grave over the Sabbath, while His faithful rested according to the com mandment, making the sev enth day Sabbath a memorial of redemption, as well as the memorial of creation. (Luke 23:46-58). When the Sabbath was past, Jesus rose on the first day of the week. (Mark 10:1,9.) This places the Seventh day Sab bath lust before the first day of the week, the same place it was at creation before sin en tered. As more evidence, 1 offer you the lives of millions of Jews that have lived since Christ. They know when the Bible Sabbath comes. I offer you the lives of hundreds of millions of Catholics. They know when Sunday the first day of the week comes. And there have been hundreds of millions of Protestants, they know when the first day of the week comes. I offer the testimony of the dictionaries and kindred books, also the testimony of the governments of Great Britain and our own U.S.A. They recognize Satur day as the Seventh day Sab bath and Sunday as the first day of the week. Look at your calendars. They all start with Sunday as the first day, as Jesus did at creation. Some call Sunday, the first day of the week, the Lord's day and Christian Sab bath. This fulfills Bible proph ecy of Daniel 7:25. Only one of the commandments in volves lime, the fourth. It calls for the Seventh Day from sunset to sunset. The great Christian world has thought lo change God's Sabbath to the first day of the week, from midnight to midnight, and it has been delivered into their hands as prophesied. Only 2,000 years ago they crucified the Lord, now they crucify His Sabbulh, the memorial of His great power to create and redeem His earth borfl chil dren. (John 3:18, 17.) ' F. E. Beverly, 634B Crater Lake ave., Medford. Hell to Shun, Heaven to Win To the Editor: A drive for funds was being conducted in a western city. Because of the refusal, on the part of one prominent business establish ment, to contribute, a boycott was declared on them. Sad to say, religious issues were involved. In a short space of time this store was all through business. lis management felt that it was doing all it could to help its own church. Yet because they would not help a group of another faith, this other faith's members who were a majority in that place boycotted this business. in this area there are men of good intentions who are urging their friends not to patronize businesses operat ing on Sunday. Let me urge here for a con sistent attitude to be shown. For example, 1 personally saw a clergyman emerge from a local supermarket one Sun day carrying a supply of beer and surrounded by a cloud of smoke. Further I know of well-meaning Christian men who keep their stores closed on Sunday. Yet on the six days of operation they pro mote and sell products that Christians cannot use. Menace often the case. Those facts are not staled to belittle anyone but is it not high time that all of us sought for a true revival of primi tive Godliness in our own lives? Let us be careful lest we promote something that could breed religious intol erance. Let us hope and pray that never will any ministers bend to backing up the en forcement of their ideas on the public. It has happened, and may happen again. The state has no God given right to enforce by its legal action the sacredness of any day, or to impose pen allies for desecrating that day. Early American history re cords many sad experiences surrounding Sunday blue laws. Let us be sure that our own lives are founded only on facts and principles laid down in God's unchanging Word. custom and tradition may hold strong ties. Yet the re ligious experience of others will avail us nothing unless we search for God's truth our selves. When our Lord walked among men His messages of truth were unpopular. The church leaders of His day were blind to His mission. Let us not crucify our Lord afresh by our neglect of mat ters pertaining t our own destiny. Truth may be ridicul ed and unpopular but we have a hell to shun and a heaven to win. Henry Johnson Jr. 2400 Highway 86 Ashland, Ore. Are They OWNers7 To the Editor: I also read the recent ad extolling the state and its people, etc. Your gentle editorial ribbing be cause of certain inaccuracies was well taken. Since the ad was printed I have been pondering a great deal about one more thing that strikes me as a bit pe culiar. The ad reads "However, our great resource is people Oregon workers are skilled permanent, (65 per cent own their own homes,)" etc. This is mighty good to hear, but I am dubious as to the ac curacy of the percentage of home owners. I know a lot of people in the state and the number who actually OWN their own homes would be very small indeed, It may be that I have been meeting the wrong class of people. B. Giles While City, Ore. Test for Survivial To the Editor: Some ne strategic and scientific uses may be made of abandoned former mining tunnels, especi ally the ones that are serv iceable as underground shelt ers, hideaways and suitable as storing spaces for future ra tions. The time may not be too far distant when "a broker" may be listing some most de sirable underground apart ments, in single or duplex stations, facing a general view of the surroundings and with handy access to pure water, A limited number of unused hard rock tunnels in southern Oregon have fresh running water enough to supply a household for any definite stay of an outerspace super men fantasy invasion of the large populated cities along the Pacific coast states. This theory of danger is not actually likely to trans pire in Ihe next decade. Our own idea Is that our way of living may change along the same lines of survival of the fittest.

The biggest week end local news had been the report of the secretary of Navy that our own Navy was "second to none."

In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Odd note in trie news: Over in Glasgow, in Scot land, there is a huge distil lery. It maintains an im mense reserve of whiskey -Scotch whisky . . . some 20 million gallons of it, an over seas dispatch informs us , , . which, the dispatch adds, is enough to float the biggest ocean liner presently plying the seas. This immense store1 of hooch requires protection. Adequate protection of it requires an elaborate security system. A part of this system, believe it or not, is provided by GOOSE AND GANDER groups. Each group is composed of one gander and 18 geese. ' It works like this: When anything disturbs the gander, he gives voice to a penetrating squawk. His lady assistants take up the squawking in a big way, starting a rumpus that raises the roof and brings the armed guards running. It's also pretty apt' to scare the intruder away. A CAGEY system? Well, at least, it's an old one. The history books, which deal with tradition as well as with established fact, tell us that nearly 24 centuries ago the city of Rome was saved by the sacred geese that were kept in the temple of Juno. It happened. this way: The Romans were attacked by the Gauls, and were driven to a steep rocky hill, which was the city's citadel. One night, the Consul Manlius was awak ened by the excited cackling of the sacred geese. Rushing to the wall of the citadel, he saw that the Gauls had al most climbed the hill. His shouts and the noise of the geese awakened the Roman guard and they dashed out and gave battle to the invad ing Gauls, who were defeated and the city was saved. That's where the distillers in Glasgow got their idea of goose squads to protect their whisky. The system is alleged to work very well indeed. Suppose that in these mod ern days all good citizens or ganized themselves into what might be called goose and gander groups. Suppose that every time these groups saw something that looked sus picious they raised a rumpus after the manner of the sacred geese of Rome, and their modern deseendenls, the de fenders of the whisky cache in Glasgow. I'll bet it would WORK. if all goes along without fric tion the next 40 years, all will be well. In year 2000 the world will have survived a trial. Bert Kissinger, 520 Boardman St., Medford, He Was Cheated To the Editor: Things have come to a pretty pass when a political party can steal an election, get rid of the evi dence, and nothing can be done about it. It is enough to destroy one's faith in Democ racy. Nixon did not lose the elec tion he was cheated out of it. J. M. Kirkpatrick 713 East Jackson st. Medford Pearl Harbor Day That is how it was on the day of infamy, Dec. 7, 1941, in Washington, D. C. Shortly after 2:35 p.m., Steve Early, White House press secretary, picked up his phone and asked Louise Hach meister to set up a simul taneous call to the three press associations. - "All on?" Steve urgently called the roll. "This is Steve Early at the White House. At 7:35 a.m., Hawaiian time, the Japanese bombed Pearl Har bor. The attacks are continu ing and - no, I don't know many are dead." That was about all Steve had then. The time of waiting for events had ended.

He was in the hands of his bitterest enemies. In sun drenched L e opoldville, AJ once a shining -HM 1W . , . . IMIII NfcWSOM jcwui ill gium's colonial empire, the Today & Tomorrow By Waller PROBLEM NO, ONE The incoming Kennedy ad ministration will inherit a domestic recession, which could become severe, and also an inter national situ ation affect ing gold and fie dollar. The iproDicms which are a raised must waiter b e regarded Lippmann without panic but also with, great serious ness. The two problems, the one national and the other inter national, are tied together. As a result there is at stak'e the capacity of this country to overcome the recession, to satisfy adequately its military and civilian needs, to continue the policy of foreign aid, and to go on exporting capital for business investment abroad. If the Kennedy administra tion is to carry out its com mitments, it must disengage the two problems sufficiently to recover our economic free dom at home and at the same time to promote the stability of the international exchanges in an expanding world econ omy. It would be no great exaggeration lo say that, ex cept for some unexpected crisis of peace and war, deal ing with this complex of prob lems is of first priority in the new administration. - . PERHAPS the best way for the layman to begin is to fix his attention on the fact that foreigners hold in our market nineteen billions of short - term dollar balances which they car-, at any time cash for gold or foreign cur rency. This huge short-term international debt limits our freedom of action - our free dom to finance our foreign policy and to deal with our international problems of re cession and accelerated eco nomic growth. To keep our foreign credit ors from cashing their bal ances and drawing out gold, we have to keep our interests rates higher than may be wise in view of the recession. Moreover, the short-term debt will continue to hang over us and threaten us even though we succeed in expanding our exports of goods and services, as we must try to do, to a level where we have a surplus to cover our foreign commit ments. WHEREFORE, the Kennedy administration will have to attack the situation on two fronts - one domestic and the other international. On the domestic front Its objective is bound to be to make our economy more ef fectively c q m p e titive as against Western Europe and Japan. This will require greater investments in re search and technology. It will also require a concerted effort to slop the so-called cost-push inflation brought on by big business and big labor. This will probably mean establish ing a policy by which for a term of years wages in the key industries, like steel and automobiles, do not rise faster than the general national average of productivity.

In Griffith sta dium, bewildered thousands heard one and another and finally scores of Army, Navy and civilian personages ur gently paged. As the big shots scrambled, others hurried away, too. They were the newspaper and radio men and women who had heard those urgent calls and suspected what they meant. Crushing Defeat Hour by hour the cruel facts pounded in.

Congolese soldiers slapped and punched Lumumba whose hands were tied behind his back. They pulled his hair to force him to turn toward photogra phers. -' One wadded into a ball a piece of paper bearing Lu- Lippmann the side of business this will be coupled with the policy of reducing prices. Expei is in this field, notably Prof. Robert Triffin of Yale university, believe that our surplus from international merchandise and service transactions - about two bil lions this year-can and should be increased to something be tween four lo six billions. With the resiliency of our economy, that ought to be pos sible. , ftf THE other front it will be necessary to take, the leadership in working o u t new monetary arrangements which will, so to speak, con vert some adequate share of our nineteen billion short- term debt into an internation al reserve deposit. The idea would be to establish for world monetary transactions an arrangement similar to our Federal Reserve System. One way lo do this, as Prof. Triffin has proposed, would be to authorize the Inter national Monetary Fund to ac cept reserve deposits from its member central banks and to give these deposits a guaran tee that they could be cashed in gold or it equivalent. Prof. Triffin believes that it would be possible to transfer from their present owners to the Monetary Fund about half of our short-term debt abroad The proposal has already been approved unanimously in England by the Radcliffe Committee on the Working of the Monetary System. A BSTRUSE and complex as is the whole subject, it is not far fetched and unrelated to practical politics. We know from his book, "The Strategy of Peace," that Senator Ken nedy was already thinking along these lines in December 1959. "... On the agenda," he said a year ago, "is the reserve problem.

For others it would be to suffer despair, discomfort and great fear to send the story back. For those who stayed in Washington, the job was to cover the biggest story up to now, to cover it under the rules of censorship, sometimes under the galls of officious official stupidity, always, un der pressure of edition time.
