Recommendations Listed For Improvement Of Welfare System Portland - U Oregon is to level off its rising public wel fare costs and provide neces sary services for dependent, neglected and delinquent chil dren, it must make drastic re ductions in the number of cases per caseworker, provide better trained caseworkers, and reduce the one-third turn over in welfare workers each year by providing more real istic salary schedules.

Release Report In releasing the report Wil liam J. Moshofsky, chairman of the 24-member council of business and professional men and women of. Oregon, said: "It doesn't make sense to continue handing out huge , sums of welfare money (more ! than 5108,000,000 per bienni i um to 170,000 persons receiv ing monetary or service aid) without a realistic effort to motivate and work more ef fectively with the recipients. Even a small degree of success would more than pay the cost of additional caseworkers." Conclusions Listed Pointing to the demon strated relation of delinquen cy and crime to the quality of ! casework performed in Ore gon and across the nation, the OCCD reports concludes that competent casework can be a vital force in the prevention of crime and delinquency, as I well as helping welfare recip ! icnts become self-sustaining: that there is a great deal of i evidence that the level of case i work in the public assistance division in Oregon is inade quate, that is, the caseload is I three to five times higher than the rccomemnded national WATER HEATERS 9 j 52-Gallon Glass Lined 5-Year Guarantee ELECTRIC SWITCHES Quiet Operating SPECIAL...

Recommendation The council, therefore, has made several recommenda tions. Casework services of the child welfare division must be expanded to enable the division to perform criti cally needed protective serv ices for dependent, neglected or delinquent children likely later to become serious prob lems for society. If the public welfare de partment's new case classifica tion and planning program in Multnomah and Jackson coun ties proves effective in hasten ing rehabilitation through in tensive casework, it should be expanded throughout the state. Expansion of casework in public welfare automatically would require additional qual ified caseworkers, already in extremely short supply. Thus the public welfare depart ment, the state legislature, ed ucational institution and the public should provide more suitable training programs for needed personnel. Hope Offered 1 "The initial extra invest ment which may be required to increase -the quality and quantity of casework services in Oregon's public welfare program offers the best hope of reducing the rapidly spiral ing public welfare costs and related costs such as juvenile delinquency and crime," the Oregon council concludes. "OCCD stands ready to sup port and assist efforts to achieve action on these recommendations." The Oregon Council o n Crime and Delinquency is an i affiliate of the National Coun- j cil on Crime and Delinquency and a member of the Oregon i United Appeal.

Supply of Fresh Vegetables Near Seasonal Peak Washington -OIPII- The Ag riculture department says sup plies of fresh vegetables will be at or near their seasonal peak during the next four to six weeks. Local production will add to marketings from commer cial areas. The volume of sum mer vegetables is expected to be close to that of last sum mer. Among the more important items, smaller production is indicated for summer celery, lettuce, spinach and early summer potatoes, the depart ment said in a review of the vegetable situation. Larger crops are in prospect for sum mer cabbage, cucumbers, snap beans, and early summer pep pers. Moderately more can taloupes and watermelons are in prospect. Over-all supplies of both canned and frozen vegetables in the 1962-63 season are like ly to be the same to slightly larger than those of last sea son. All major items are ex pected to be in adequate to heavy supply. Both packer and retail prices of canned and frozen vegetables prob ably will average near those of last season.

HECTIC 10 YEARS - For Olho Bell, shown with his son Carl, the last 10 years have been a nightmare following charges that he was a turncoat and allegedly collaborated with the Chinese Communists in a Korean prisoner of war camp. (UPI) Things Looking Up For Gl Branded as Turncoat in Korea Olympia. Wash. - OIPli -How long does it take a man to live down the charge that he betrayed his country? For Otho G. Bell, 31, it was about 10 years. Bell was one of several soldiers who were dishonor ably discharged from the Army after being accused of collaborating with the Chi nese Communists in a Ko rean prisoner of war camp. For years, Bell said, he was shackled to the Hrand "turn coat." But during the past year or so, things have improved for Bell, his wife, Jewell, and their four children. Would Rather Hang Bell said he had encounter ed "no prejudice whatever" in recent months. Just one year ago, he had said he would "rather hang" than continue life branded as a turncoat. lie said he makes his living doing odd jobs but he London University Professor To Visit Eugene - Louis A. Reid, professor of philosophy at the University of London, will be a visiting professor in phil osophy at the University of Oregon during the 1962-63 school year. Philosophy department head, Alburey Castell said that Reid would teach one ele mentary philosophy course in the Honors college for fresh men and sophomores; an aes thetics course at the senior and graduate level; and one graduate seminar in meta physics. ReL', a frequent contributor to scholarly journals, has pub lished several books. "A Study in Aesthetics," written in 1931 and revised In 1954, is dis cussed by Jacques Barzun, provost of Columbia univer sity and dean of the graduate school as "the only work since Santayana that expounds a philosophy of art while giv ing evidence that the little three-letter word is to the author a living reality. And Reid's aesthetics is the more catholic and truer of the two . . ." Reid serves on the execu tive committee of the Royal added, "when there is work to be found, I'll find it." Bell has built a wooden house on some land he pur chased in a rural district east of here, "There's still a lot to be done," he said motioning to the unpainted walls and clut tered interior. "But I'm get ting there." Bell remained in Red China for 18 months after the end of the Korean war. But he steadfastly denies that he was a traitor. He said he hoped that his case would be brought to court eventually so that he would gel the chance to clear his name. Jurisdiction Lost ; The U. S. Supreme Court ruled that Bell, and others who remained with the Com munists, could not be tried by courts martial on collabor ation charges because the Army lost jurisdiction when it discharged them. In another case, the Su preme Court ruled that Bell was entitled to $1,455 prisoner-of-war pay. That was more than a year ago, but he said he still has not received the money. "The lawyer says I'll gel the money sometime," he said, "but I haven't, seen it yet." Bell is a native of Mississip pi, but said he has decided to make Washington his home. By many standards, Bell still is far from successful. But he feels that he is on the way up. "I was drawing relief for a while," he said, "but I don't need it now." tatocs this summer is lighter j Institute of Philosophy and than the heavy supply of year earlier. Both grower and retail prices are likely to av erage above the low levels of last summer. The early sum mer production of potatoes is down 20 per cent, and the more important late summer crop is down moderalely. The fall potato crop - the big one - was planted on "J per cent less acreage this year than last. Sweet potato production is expected to be about 11 per cnt.

Study Conducted By University Psychologist Eugene - Children's ac ceptance or rejection c! their proper sex roles influences the development of their in terest patterns and vocation al choices, according to the results of a 16-year study at the University of Oregon. Dr. Leona E. Tyler, pro fessor of psychology, has is sued her final report on a long-range study of the de velopment of vocational and other interests in children which she began in 1946. Starting in early grade j school, Dr. Tyler traced the same group of Eugene, Ore., I children through graduation from high school in the long est term study of this partic ular aspect of human growth -the development of interests -ever undertaken. The children were given psychological tests which as sessed their interests, special abilities, and personal - social characteristics in the first, fourth, eighth, and twelfth grades. In addition, in high school they were tested for vocational interests. Of the original 287 children in the study, 145 completed the en tire scries of tests. The study was supported by the university graduate school's office of scientific and scholarly research. In addition to specific find ings, the project has led Dr. Tyler to suggest a new ap proach to the study of the "dynamic structures for se lecting among life's possibili ties." Dr. Tyler's report deals principally with two special aspects of the study - the de-1 velopment of career interests j girls and scientific inter-! ests in boys. Both these inter ests show up by the age of ! 4 in lho!i children who will develop tnem, and there are some aspects of temperament and personality which pre cede them, the report states.
