Gl Loan Rights Will End for Some WWII Vels GI loan entitlement will end for some World War II veterans on July 25, R. J. Novotny, manager of the Port land Veterans Administration Regional office, has announc ed. Others will have until 1967. Novotny pointed out that a loan may not be guaranteed or insured after a veteran's entitlement expires unless the lender's loan application or loan report is actually receiv ed by the VA prior to the ter mination of the borrower's eligibility. This holds true, Novotny explained, even though the veteran may have contracted to purchase a home and may have applied to the lender for a GI lan before his entitle ment expired. Novotny advised veterans to complete their loan negotia tions well in advance of the date their entitlement comes to an end. The exact date a veteran's entitlement ends is determin ed by a formula contained in the governing law. Under the formula, eligibility continues for 10 years from the date of the veteran's discharge from his last period of active serv ice in World War II plus an additional year for each 90 days active service in World War II. Maximum Eligiblity If a veteran's discharge or release from active service was the result of a wartime service - connected disability, the law grants him maximum eligibility without regard to the formula. July 25, is the earliest cut off date for any veteran of World War II. The maximum entitlement date for any World War II veteran is July 2j, 1967. These minimum and maximum eligibility cut-off dates apply to all World War II veterans seeking VA guar anteed or insured home, farm or business loans or direct home loans. In the case of Wjorld War II veterans who have already requested VA direct home loans and who are now be ing carred on waiting lists, Novotny asks that they do not write nor phone concerning their deadline dates at this time. The VA is planning to send individual notices to each World War II veteran now on the direct loan waiting list. . Veterans of the Korean conflict can find their own individual cut-off dates ac cording to the same formula, and minimum and maximum cut-off dates have been estab lished for them, too. However, their minimum eligibility ex tends until Jan. 31, 1965, and their maxumim eligibility will last until Jan. 31, 1975. Moscow Criticizes Joint Communique London - (UPII - Moscow Ra dio has pinned a "cold war" label on President Kennedy's talks with British Prime Min ister Harold Macmillan. Moscow Radio criticized the joint communique for its fail ure to recommend a summit meeting at this time. "Kennedy and Macmillan did not do anything to remove the causes of anxiety threat ening the world,'' it said. "They have limited them selves to a general statement that the contacts established with the U.S. S R. on the Ber lin problem must be con tinued. "The Kennedy - Macmillan talks have shown once again that the Western leaders still adhere to the positions of the cold war. As before, they ig nore the will of the peoples striving to put an end to the dangerous nuclear arms race," the broadcast added. f-"r 1" n)88 I 111788 I 11 A88 f COOL FIBER B WOVEN PLASTIC I I II llij FULL LEATHER- FULL SET H FULL SET I I II 1 ETTE TRIM FULL I J INSTALLED t INSTALLED I I 1 1 SET INSTALLED jjspr Fits most cars ra yitwnostrJJL ' mrt3 12th & So.

Y. I trusted him and he pulled a fast trick on me. David Y. It was the only way to get him to do right by my mother. Mr. T. Y. My wife and I have reached our 70s and live in our own home with our unmarried daughter. We have a married son who lives nearby and owns a pharmacy In recent years I permitted my son to handle my business affairs, pay my bills and buy and sell my mortgage certi ficates and stocks, I had com plete confidence in him. It was a relief to me not to have to check my bank balance, and to know everything was in order. So when he asked me to sign a blank bank form, I asked no questions and com plied. A few days ago I stopped in at the bank to ask about in terest on a savings account, and to my surprise was told the account was closed. Dave used the check to withdraw the total amount, and told me nothing about it. David Y. My dad is a funny fellow with money and I had to figure some way to get around him. It wasn't for myself, but for my mother. Over the years he's been in clined to hold the purse strings tight when it comes to Mom. When she wants a few dollars for herself, she must plead and wheedle. As child ren, my sister and I knew that my mother would have to resort to tears, arguments and quarrels before she could get a new coat or a piece of furniture. This never bothered my sister. Dad's been gener ous with her. But I felt sorry J for Mom and I solved her problem at last by getting Dad to sign that form. The money has been redeposited in an account for my mother. I'm sorry Dad had to find out about it that way. I plan ned to break the news when he saw Mom's new dishwash er. The Council: When a person acts like a child, regardless of his age, he must be treat ed as a child. If Mr. Y. was using money on his wife the way a zoo keeper uses fish on the seals, to make her jump and go into his favorite act self-abasement li2 was behaving childishly and David may have been justi fied in an oblique approach such as one would use when straight talk is futile. David's stunt might be call ed shock therapy, except for it being more shock than ther. apy. Has he made his point with Mr. Y., and intiated a change in his niggardly be havior toward Mrs. Y.? Or has he made his dad resent ful, suspicious, and vengeful? The net gain here is a more dignified life for Mrs. Y. with less need for haggling about money. But it has been achiev ed at the cost of a wrecked (temporarily, we trust) rela tionship between this father and son. It was his total con fidence in David which made Mr. Y. sign so readily. Even David must have been sur prised and touched by the ease with which he obtained the necessary signature. Ob viously this won't be possible again, not unless Mr. Y. un dergoes so drastic a changj ot heart as to be glad he was duped into doing something he should have been willing to do of his own accord. This suggests what would have been the wiser course for David, whose subterfuge was morally and legally wrong.

But now, how mend the hurt? Since Mr. Y. has no other fault to find with Dav id's management, and since not a dime of the disputed funds is unaccounted for, we believe the father should for give the son's attempt to play Robin Hood. And, by tender ing both his father and moth er the right blanks to sign, David should enable the for mer, at long last, to present his wife with a proper draw ing. account himself. Research Center To Open Friday Portland-A new and unique scientific establishment will officially open its doors May 4, 5 and 6, on the outskirts of Portland. The establishment is the Oregon Regional Pri mate Research center, an ultra-modern biomedical sci entific center, devoted to the study of mankind's closest cousins in the animal king dom, monkeys and great apes. Ideally situated on a 200 acre research campus near Beaverton, the new Research center is the first in the na tion to encompass both basic scientific investigation involv ing the entire life cycle of sub human primates and graduate research training for students of the biological sciences. Keynoting the dedication ceremonies, a group of Inter nationally known scientists will meet Saturday, May 5, for the Oregon Regional Pri mate Research center's First Annual Primatology Research conference. This day - long meeting will bring together many of the world's leading authorities in the0 fields of primate research, including Professor Sir Solly Zucker man, Birmingham university, Birmingham. England; Dr. Kirl F. Meyer and Dr. Leslie L. Bennett, University of Cali fornia Medical school, San Francisco, Calif.; and Dr. James B. Allison, Rutgers uni versity. New Brunswick, N.J. Nine scientific papers con cerning various phases of pri mate research will be present ed during the three-session scientific meeting. The formal dedication will be Sunday. Court Will Hear Dean Bay Argument Salem - WPIl - The Oregon Supreme Court will hear ar guments in the Dean Bay teacher certification case in Pendleton, probably in Oc tober, according to indications Monday. Bay is the 32-year-old for mer Oregon grade school teacher whom tile Oregon Board of Education refused to certify on a regular basis last year because lie once served time in the Washington State Reformatory for grand lar ceny. The board action was taken in the face of strong protests from the Eastern Oregon com munity of Weston, where Bay taught last year on a tem porary certificate. Backed by a citizens' group, Bay appealed the board's re- jeetion to Union County Cir cuit Court. Judge W. F. Brownton overturned the board decision saying the board's findings weren't based on "relevant and material evi dence." The evidence of Bay's past conviction wasn't admis-s'-ilc, Brownton ruled. in 3-6450 0 caqcsffing, floor mats, cuihioni MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON Land Board Votes Rules for Leasing Onshore Property Salem - IUPD - The Oregon land board Monday approved ground rules allowing the state to lease Its onshore prop erty for private oil and gas exploration. Commercial quantities of oil have never been found in Oregon, but there hasn't been much drilling either. The board has applications pend ing from four oil firms and individuals. Oil industry spokesuip-t ex- Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn W. Watkins (Register & Tribune Syndicate, 1962) Build a Better Duster . , . World Will Beat a Path Probably the early cave woman brushed out the hole in the hillside where she lived with a branch from a tree. The cliff-ledge, where she kept her few primitive posses sions, was swept off with a smaller, leafy twig. The fugitive, in the old West, brushed out his tracks in the sand by swishing a leafy branch over the earth, thereby erasing his tracks and the direction of his escape. Then some smart guy had an indea; why not use the wing of a bird for a duster? Progress took a tiny forward step. The pioneer housewife saw the advantage of a bird's wing. The largest bird she knew about, or could come by was a turkey. So naturally the "turkey-wing duster" be came a part of every early, American household. Restirred Dust But the turkey-wing duster actually only restirred the dust, and it settled elsewhere. So some farsecing housewife, who probably noticed she was getting nowhere fast with the restirring, saturated the feathers of the turkey wing with lard, or any other oil or grease that was h,andy. Now the duster held the dust. When completely clogged, the turkey wing could be taken outdoors and pounded; a de dusting of the duster pro cedure. Progress was stumbling along, feather by feather. Then some genius had another bright thought; why not tie a bunch of feathers together and attach a handle? This ended the wing and the turkey end of the project, and we came up with something very modern the feather-duster; even in assorted sizes and varicolored handles. Easier and Quicker Nothing before or since was as effective in unsettling dust. The stuff could be redistribut ed easier and quicker than with the old turkey wing or the leafy tree branch. A modern feather duster in a store was a big deal. A row of articles could be dusted, and later the dust reshuffled to something else. Today's feather duster, re gardless of how beautifully painted the handle was, isn't too much advanced over the tree branch or the turkey wing. It just gives the user the idea he or she is accom plishing something worth while. From the leafy tree branch the palm frond, or the turkey wing, to the present-day fcath er duster, however fancy the handle, is but a tiny step for ward as far as progress is con corned; in some fields our pro gress hasn't been exactly phe nomcnal. r Lll IIIIW'I ffclllmil iT'-. .iirrr" . WORLD LEADERS in icat coertop. safety "Celts pressed satisfaction with t! e lease form but an assistant slate attorney general pro tested that the regulations ap proved by the board aren't strong enough. The board made up of the governor, secretary of state and state treasurer okayed a lease form that, among other things: Gives the state 50 cents an acre annual rental on leased lands. Gives the state a fixed 12'j per cent royalty on all oil or gas discovered, with an option of going to a slid ing scale later if a large amount of oil is found. Requires a lea-eholder to drill within three years of the date of granting of a lease. Henry Wright of Los An geles, manager of the land and tax department of the Western Oil and Gas associa tion, said "I think the action will spur exploration in Ore gon." He said it is a good lease form, and docs protect the state. Ronald W. Husk, Eugene at torney and Oregon represen tative of the association's pub lic lands committee, agreed, saying the form is "reasonable and a vast improvement" over the state's old form. But Asst. Atty. Gen, Robert G. Daniclson said the lease form is "not in the best in terests of the stale." He took issue particularly with para graph 18 which spells out what action the state can take against a leasee who causes any damage to state property. This section is ;eak, Daniel- son said, and the language was drafted by the oil asso ciation. Daniclson's boss, State Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thorn ton, is a Democratic candidate tor governor, seek) .g op pose Republican Gov. Mark Hatfield, land board chair man. The matter of oil ex ploration has been growing into a political football in Oregon since 1961 when Thornton's objections to the 1961 state oil code were ig nored by Hatfield and the 1961 legislature. Danielson said the rules ap proved by the board leave a doubt as to how strong the state's position would be if it had to sue a leasee for dam ages. Hatfield and the other board members Secretary of State Howell Appling Jr. and State Treasurer Howard Bolton agreed that the lease form was good and strong as far as protection to the state. They were backed up by Oregon geology direc tor Hollis ijole. Mothers Protest Fast SchoolTime Eugene -IUPU- A group of mothers who called them selves the "Parents for Stand ard School Hours" said Mon day they have some 500 signa tures on a petition for resump tion of standard time in public schools here. The mothers said they would send their children to school an hour late unless the schools go back on standard time. The University of Oregon and many businesses have adopted fast time. But the mothers said that the schools were pressured into moving the classes ahead by commu nity leaders. A spokesman for the group said they sent a night letter to President Kennedy Sunday asking him to intervene in the situation. and related auto products.
