convenienced her for a day
or two or caused some lit
tle concern to her master.
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. The longer he look
ed, the greater the' wonder
grew.

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

been very willing to borrow
money for the construction of
self-liquidating facilities. 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

He bolstered his position by
saying thai it had "strong bi
partisan support" and quoted
former Vice President Richard
Nixon in support of his rec
ommendations. 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.
