In one of her excited moments she leaped up on a picket fence, caught one of her slen der legs and snapped the bone just below the knee. She slowed down to a painful stop, holding the injured member before her, and waited for help. Two days alter the veterin arian had set the bone and ap plied the cast she could run and play as actively as ever, carrying the injured leg with no apparent discomfort.

Prime Minister Fidel Cas tro's regime has not an nounced the loss yet. But reliable sources said Roberto Vale, lop executive of the bank and a member of the rebel underground, look at least $400,000 and possibly as much as $1,500,000 last week end before fleeing to the Uni ted States. Informants said Vale also removed vital bank records. Then he closed the vault and set its lime clock for a mid week opening.

After being slung by a wasp her face was so swollen she couldn't close her mouth or open one eye for two days. Once she foolishly sat on an ant hill and , was severly stung. Once she pulled a ta blecloth from a stand and was hit on the head by a heavy vase. That lime she acted like she had a headache and spent the day behind a chair feel ing sorry for herself. One of her favorile meth ods of letting off steam was to grab a ball, a stick or even a dead leaf in her mouth and run around the house and neighborhood as fast as she could go, dodging in and out of bushes and missing trees by a fraction on an inch. At such times she develop ed considerable speed. No Response It nuisl have been on one of these wild sprees that a serious accident happened, one that caused the little dog to depart from her usual ways land puzzle her owner and all who knew her. On that day when her owner returned home and called, she did not come: neither did an exten sive search of the neighbor hood reveal her presence. Hours later the veterinari an called the dog's owner to tell him the dog was at the animal clinic with a severe gash in her chest. The wound was diagnosed as the result of being hit by a sharp in strument. Probably the dog had run into a stub on a low growing bush on one of her mad dashes. The doctor dressed the wound. The owner drove lo the clinic, a distance of a lit tle over Iwo miles, and pick ed up the patient. 11 had been two years since her last visit, but in the time of great need she remembered. Later, asleep on her favor ite chair, her owner watched the little dog and wondered ; just what residue of rem brance had its hiding place in that small, tennis-ball siz ed head.

I Administration's Education Bill Lacking, Flemming Says By YVONNE FRANKLIN Mail Tribune Washington Bureau Washington - (Special) -Arthur S. I'leinming, new President of the University of Oregon, told a House Sub committee on Higher Educa tion last week that the Ad m inistration's bill did not go go far enough toward meet ing the needs tranklin of tlie nation's exploding college population He estimated that by 1965 there would be one million more students enrolled than during the fall of 1900, and said that facilities will not be adequate lo meet the de mand unless Congress aels. Flemming agreed with thai part of the Administration's bill which .recommended spending S250 million a year for five years for college housing. He agreed that matching grants should be made avail able for 10 years at SG0 mil lion a year for constructing medical facilities and $50 mil lion a year for three years for research facilities. He did not agree with the Administration proposal that S300 million a year for five years be spent for long-term, low-interest construction loans for academic facilities. He wanted outright grants of money, not loans. He said: "I believe that unless $210 million of this amount is car marked for grants that can be matched on a 50-50 basis, and S90 million for loans, the Con gress will be adopting a pro gram that can only be char acterized as impractical and unrealistic - a program that will fail to provide the nation with the academic facilities that we must have if our young people are to be provid ed wilh adequate opportuni ties in the field of higher edu cation." His reason for asking for straight grants of money were lhal: "Both public and private colleges and universities have "Crooked River" Name Chosen for Grassland The name "Crooked River" has been chosen for the Pa cific Northwest's only nation al grassland, it was announc ed today by J. Herbert Stone, regional forester, U. S. Forest service. Stone said that the- name "Crooked River National grassland" was selected b y Richard E. McArdlc, chief of the forest service, for the 106,000-acre area formerly known as the Central Oregon Land Utilization project. Throughout the nation. 4 mil lion acres of land utilization projects were redesignated "national grasslands" last June. The Crooked River grass land, in Jefferson county south of Madras, derives its name from the colorful river which flows through it. The spectacular Crooked River canyon is one of the prime attractions of the region. National grasslands in other states will receive such pic turesque names as Thunder Basin, Cross Timbers, and Black Keltic. The lands, most ly in the midwcsl were pur- chased by the federal govern ment in Ihe depression years of the 1930s to lake them out ui viiu lii.iuh iu kiivl' infill uui of cultivation and to develop i a program of land conserva-1 Save Taxes.

They can obtain funds for making payments on principal nrl in terest without jeopardizing the soundness of their tola! educational program. "On the other hand, govern ing boards of both public and private institutions of higher education have been very re luctant to borrow funds for the construction of classrooms, laboratories and libraries. "They know . . . the only way they can obtain funds for the payment of the principal and interest is either by rais ing student fees or failing to pay adequate salaries lo tac ulty members." Flemming agreed lhal the I student loan program under the present National Defense Education Act "should bo ex tended and that a system of federal scholarships should be begun." He felt thai the Act had been of help to families in the middle-income bracket, but he was concerned that families in the low income lev els are "finding it more and more difficult to finance a col lege education." He went beyond the Admin istration proposal and called for income tax deductions to cover tuition and other costs of higher education. Army Keeps Watch Over Algerians AlKiers-IUPH-Paratroops and police stood guard Saturday in Algiers and Oran, ready to deal with any effort by Arabs or Europeans to set off a new wave of violence. Friday's Arab acceptance of President Charles de Gaulle's call for peace talks coincided with the end of the Moslem fast of Ramadan, and the com bination was considered po tentially explosive. Authorities here were con cerned about a possible explo sion of Moslem rejoicing into violence. They said also that European extremists might seize on the occasion to pro voke trouble between Arabs and Europeans. Hon based on grassland agri culture. Many require careful management to preserve soil resources. Much of the areas have been reseeded lo grass. The "dusl bowl" years proved they were unsuiled for culti vation. Stone .said that the Central Oregon area has been incor porated into region 6 national forest management and is be ing managed for all resources: Forage, wood, water, wildlife, and recreation. Joe Mohan, Madras, who works out of Ochoco National forest head quarters at Prinevillc, is man ager of the unit. Grazing management is ac complished cooperatively wilh the Gray Bulte Grazing asso ciation. Members of the associ ation coordinate management of their lands wilh the con servation plans for the grass lands, thereby improving con ditions on many additional acres. Stone said. In addition to providing forage for 0,500 sheep and 2. 500 caltle in 1000, the Crook- : ed River National grassland is used each year by many hunters, fishermen, rocK col lectors, swimmers and other itLii'uuumai.i. i 111; hh recrealionisls.

Flemniing was Secretary of Health, Educa tion and Welfare during the Eisenhower administration. Costs of Tuition He nolcd that the costs of tuition and required fees have risen about 75 in the last decade, and said they prom ise to increase slill further. He was concerned that this was causing low income fami lies great difficulty in send ing their children to college. Flemming did not agree i with the administration's pro posal for administering the federal scholarship program, which would authorize spend ing about $900 million for the five year period. He felt lhal the colleges themselves should make the awards on merit and need, rather than have a State Commission on Scholarships select the recipients. The scholarships would last for four years, and the yearly stipend would range up to $1,000. but would average S700 a year. Each scholarship student would choose his col lege, and the government would give the school $350 a year to help pay the differ ence between the tuition -and the actual cost of teaching the iitudent. Students in Oregon would be eligible for 250 scholar ships, worth $189,000, under the proposed bill, in the first year of the program. A tolal of 2.293 would be awarded in Ihc stale by the fifth year. . j ii ii ii I milium mil mil iinm i iihii milium iimi Jcicl isf - i r WW BIG HAT FOR WILLIAMS G. Mennen Williams, U, S.
