Medford Shopping Center Vlj Qr Money Refunded Wellesley Offers Unique Program Of Financial Aid Wellesley, Mass.-IUPll-Well- sesley college has announced a unique program of financial aid which will allow a student to convert an interest-free loan into an outright gift if she decides to teach. Miss Margaret Clapp, presi dent of the Women's college, said that the new aid plan would be open to American students entering Wellesley in the fall of 1061. Principal features of the new plan are: All entering students who need and are awarded aid by the college will receive the combination loan-gift for all four years and will be ex pected to earn something to ward their expenses.

Miss Clapp listed the consid erations as: "The likelihood of mounting costs of higher edu cation in the next decade; the fact that the larger size of the average family will make it harder for many parents to pay as large a proportion of the cost of the education of each child as they have in the past, and the increasing numbers of students capable of benefiting from a college education." Death Cutting Into Ranks of Picture Stars Pay Hikes for State Employees Finds Favor Editor's note: This is the lecond of four dispatches based on answers to a United Press International poll of Oregon legislators on issues facing the 1961 session. per version to gift for each full year of teaching completed during the first four years. The loan will be con verted into a gift at the rate of 25 per cent per year for each completed year of study in a graduate school of arts and sciences or education, provided the study is followed by teaching within four or five years of graduation. Miss Clapp said the pro gram was similar to the Na tional Defense Education Act scholarship program, but was more advantageous to the stu dent because it made possible 00 per cent conversion of the loan into a gift. The fed eral program provides for about 50 per cent conversion. She also emphasized that the Wellesley program re quired no "disclaimer affi davits." The college withdrew from the federal program last year in the wake of wide spread dissaisfaction in acad emic circles with the so-called "loyally oath" provisions of the federal program. Three Considerations "In developing this 'across-the-board' plan of combining loan and gift for all members of a class who receive finan cial aid, the (Wellesley) schol- tain on the golden age of the movies. More than two dozen stars, directors and producers have died since Jan, 1, 1059, in eluding Clark Gable, Cecil B De Mille, Ethel Barrymore, Kay Kendall, Paul Douglas, Errol Flynn, Mario Lanza and Victor McLaglen. Curiously, a large percent age of those who left the scene during this time were under 60 years old. Mario Lanza was only 38 when he died Oct. 7, 1959. Kay Ken dall's meteoric career ended Sept. 6, 1959, at the age of 33, after a downhill fight to save her health. Hollywood Shocked The death of Wayne Morris, a youthful, vigorous 45, shock ed Hollywood on 'Sept. 14, 1959. Pioneer moviemaker Mack Sennett lived into his 80s as did veteran character actors Fred Stone, Taylor Holmes and Edmund Gwenn. The deaths this month of Gable, 90, Sennett, Ward Bond, 57, and Walter Catlett, 71, brought home to Holly wood the stunning realization that its ranks were being thinned rapidly by death. iw' Beautiful!

SP 3-6241 PHONE SP 3-3052 By DOUGLAS GRIPP Salem' - (UPD - Heavy op position has been expressed by state legislators to Gov. Mark Hatfield's proposed move of Oregon Public Wel fare Commission headquarters from Portland to Salem next spring. Several legislators have said they will take it up in the 1961 session. These opinions and others were received from a sub stantial cross-section of the 1961 membership in answers to a mail poll conducted by UPI. Those who replied rep resented both parties and houses and all geographical sections of the state. Sen. Monroe Sweetland (D Milwaukie) said the legisla ture should "prohibit" the Welfare Commission move if there is "no other way to forestall it." Sen. Robert Straub (D-Eu gene) said there are "superior resources available m Port land" for welfare worker training and cited "unneces sary hardships" for the wel fare staff in making the move. The Legislative Interim Committee on Welfare is on record against the plan as well as the Welfare commission it self. In an opinion for the interim committee, Attorney General Robert Y. Thornton says that legally Hatfield can order the move but "primary authority" for its location rests with the legislature. New Building Due Hatfield wants the Welfare Commission in the new State Labor and Industries building the Capitol Mall within three months after the build ing is completed. Completion is expected in April, 1961. Most of the commission's 150 staffers have indicated they will quit first. Hatfield said he ordered the move for several reasons: Availability of extra space in Salem. Need for space in the state office building in Portland to house other agencies, and a saving in costs. The Oregon constitution calls for it. -Better coordination with the governor's office. Hatfield points out that since county welfare agencies serve welfare recipients, the transfer will "in no way" re duce the quality or effective ness of the service in the Port land area, or elsewhere. Hat field also notes that the com mission has a high rate of turnover in personnel in Port land and contends that Salem provides a "relatively stable labor supply." The poll showed a three to one preference against the move with legislators general ly following party lines, Dem ocrats against and Republi cans for it. A number of Re publicans declared they would "have to be convinced." Pay Hikes Discussed ' On the topic of pay raises for state employees, the poll showed a heavy vote for "sub stantial" increases. The governor has recom mended an average 10 per cent hike for state workers and 15Vi per cent for higher education employees in 1961-63. Oregon Civil Service Com missioner David Cameron says the state's employment prob lem is "acute" because of poor salaries compared to private industry and the federal gov ernment. Recruitment In some fields is impossible, he said. Many legislators said while they favor large increases for most state workers, they are against such increases for po litical appointees. "There are some areas where substantial increases are essential," Rep. Clarence Barton (D-Coquille) comment ed. "For example the doctors at the institutions. I do not favor any great increases for political a p p 0 1 n tecs, who couldn't be driven from Salem under any circumstances." Only one legislator said state salaries should not be in creased at all. U.S. EMBASSY DAMAGED Washington - (UPB - Machine gun fire caused minor dam age to the U.S. information service library in Addis Aba ba during fighting in the Ethiopian capital several days ago, the State Department said Monday. No Americans were injured during last week's attempted revolution, according to the officials. Salt Water Conversion Process Is Developed Washington - (Science Serv ice) - A new process for the conversion of salt water to fresh water using the vapor reheat principle was describ ed by D. F. Othmer, R. F. Benenati and G. C. Goulan dris of the Polytechnic insti tute, Brooklyn, N. Y., to the American Institute of Chemi cal Engineers meeting here. The heat given off during the condensation of the evap orated water is used to heat the various stages as the pres sure is progressively lower ed. This lowers the energy and equipment requirements for the flash evaporation of sea water.
