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.

Mr. T. 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. We refer to persuasion
via a respected third party

a clergyman, lawyer or friend
who would act as mediator
to see that Mrs. Y. received
her due and that peace reign
ed in the elderly couple's
home.
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,

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.

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

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

mothers who called them
selves the "Parents for Stand

day they have some 500 signa

The mothers said they

The University of Oregon

adopted fast time. But the
