Single Education Board?
The State Board of Education is the state
agency which conducts .teacher certification, au
thorizes textbooks, adopts courses of study, and
provides other services to the elementary and sec
ondary schools of the state. The schools them
selves are operated by local boards of education.
ihe state board of higher education has ac
tual physical and administrative control of the
state s nine colleges and universities.
Should the two be combined, as suggested by
Gov. Mark Hatfield? Could they be combined,
despite their widely differing functions, into a
coherent and effective department of education,
from kindergarten through post graduate work?
VLTE ARE inclined to doubt it.
There is nothing sacred about the existing
system, and if change is indicated, change
should be made. But it seems to us that the case
for consolidation has not been made.
One board is both policy-making and admin
istrative. The other is devoted to coordination and
providing services. The dissimilarity of function
alone is enough to cause grave doubts that a
merger would De a good move.
TMORE importantly, the needs and ramifica
tions of both systems are so great and com
plex that it would be difficult indeed for mem
bers of a combined board
alone function efficiently
Study of the proposal is certainly in order,
particularly if the governor has reason to believe
a change would be beneficial.
But, up to this point, we have seen no evi
dence to cause us to conclude that our generally
excellent educational systems need change. E.A.
Interim Game Study
It probably would be a good idea for a legis
lative interim committee to undertake a study of
game management and the Oregon State Game
Commission to clear the air and provide better
understanding, if for no
We have not been overly impressed with the
complaints leveled against the commission and
its game management methods. It seems to us
that the commission's biologists, who have made
a life-long study of wildlife, and who are in the
field the year around, not just for a few days
during hunting season, are better experts on the
situation than once-a-year hunters, or legislators.
Still, there has been so much noise and criti
cism that a two-year study is desirable. It would
either confirm the Game commission's methods,
or provide the logical and studied basis for leg
islation not now available.
THE crux of the matter whether or not the
deer herds in the state are vanishing (as many
hunters claim ) or are not (as the uame commision
contends) should not be too difficult to as
certain. The related problem whether there should
be seasons for the huntinp- of anterless deer, in
cluding does hinges on this, as does the com
mission's stated objective of managing the deer
herds so there will be enough for hunting, but
not too many so that ranges are overgrazed or
that many deer die of starvation.
If the commision's methods of game manage
ment are ineffective they should be changed, but
if they are good, they should be retained.
The legislature is entitled to find out. E.A.
Telecasting Trials
There is a constitutional conflict between an
individual's right to a fair and impartial trial,
and the right of a free press to report public af
fairs without hindrance. The conflict does not
involve the pencil-and-paper reporter, but the
"electronic journalist" the radio and televsion
men.
Many judges and lawyers maintain that the
use of cumbersome equipment including lights,
the whir of cameras and recording devices, the
use of still cameras, is an interference with the
dignity of the court, and may prejudice the rights
of the litigants.
fN THE other hand, some newspapers and
other media maintain that modern equipment
can be unobtrusive, and can be used with a
minimum of disturbance.
Former Oregon Supreme Court Justice James
Brand, testifying this week before a letrislative
committee on a bill which would open Oregon's
courts to broadcasters and telecasters, makes an
effective cHse for bannincr them.

Needed Legislation
To the Editor: There are
four salient threats to our
orderly way of life that need
particular attention.
First, the archaic procedure
to control and prevent juve
nile delinquency. The pres
ent method of coddling, lack
of punishment and probation
are encouraging criminality
ana aiding the youths of the
land on their Journey to the
penitentiary. The victims of
their depredations have no
recourse. Suggested cures are
a parental responsibility law,
publishing of the names, pun
ishment based on the knowl
edge of right and wrong com
mensurate with the severitv
of the crime and the effect on
the community. Where all or
most of these remedies are in
the law, there has been a
considerable decrease in
crimes committed by Juve
niles. More than half of the
100 per cent increase in
crime in the past 15 years
is chargeable to teen-agers.
Second, saving of lives on
the highways and preventing
teen-age delinquency by en
acting a law raising the auto
driving license age to 18. Why
do many insurance companies
require a premium Increase
of SO lo 75 per cent for auto
Insurance Issued for ages 15
to 24? The risk and hazard re
quires the additional premi
ums. Third, pass suitable laws
to prevent invasion of state
powers by the federal govern
ment In violation of the U.S.
Constitution. A sample Is an
Invasion of educational In
stitutions. Power and dieia-
tion follow the purse. The
expansion of the federal gov
ernmcnt is accomplished al
the expense of the rights and
freedoms of the people.
Pass suitable regulations or
laws limiting the expansion
of the stale government at .he
expense of the rights and pow
ers of ihe cities and counties.
The same would reduce the
expenses of the state govern
ment and be.ter protect the
personal rights of the people.
Follow the above regula
tions and laws with more
economy In stale government
and a real constructive serv
ice would be render d unto
the people of the state.

Germ of Life
To the Editor: The M.T.
letter of 2-24-63 entitled
"What Truth Is" was very
good. But it seems the writer
overlooked the most signifi
cant point about the growth
of the corn. Truth cannot have
anything to do with the law
God has given this earth,
that governs the plant and
animal life. Only in so far
as we speak about it in truth,
then it becomes a most pre
cious part of our lives. We
are told by our Savior,
"Truth shall make us free."
If we should boil the seed
corn and kill the germ of
life in it, it would be im
possible for it to grow, and
it would disintegrate into the
ground.
In the tomb-like recess or
an egg there is the germ of
life and intelligence that are
associated, and when the law
that has been given by an
all wise creator has been
obeyed, the chick will emerge
and eventually the hen that
can reproduce her kind, and
will love and protect her off
spring. The tree existed before it
grew upon the earth in the
spirit form, and we all lived
In the spirit form before this
earth was. created. Adam and
Eve were the first spirits
to be clothed upon with the
material things of this earth.
With the germ of life and
intelligence our entity has al
ways existed. Hence we are
eternal, and on our journey
in the eternities we can go
on into eternal progression
and perfection, and become
perfect as our father in heav
en is perfect.
His glory is his knowledge
and intelligence, and we are
saved no faster than we gain
knowledge.

Overdone
To the Editor: To clarify
Vera I. Stewart's confusion
about my dog-in-the-manger
attitude, it's not that I mean
to be selfish, it's just that I
don't like to be told to arise
and defend my right to col
lect trading stamps when I
don't even like trading
stamps.
It is true that I have ob
jected before to their nuisance
value to the fact that they
lake up one whole kitchen
drawer, wad themselves up
in my pockets, clog the wash
ing machine and give the
baby indigestion, and that it
is a waste of time, energy
and spit (only the Tribune
changed that to saliva or
something. I guess "spit" is
not a proper word In Med
ford) to paste the stamps into
books and buy things I don't
want and can get cheaper on
sale down town anyway.
Vera I. Stewart and I seem
to have crossed swords, or
tongues (ooh-glag-rnakc it
pens) on this subject before.
I really don't know anything
about the proposed bill
but I do know that I don't
get something for nothing. I
do know that I pay a little
more for what I buy when
I am "given trading stamps,
and that it would be econom
ically unsound to refuse them
or throw them away.

stamp book for a couple of
dollars when I m short on
grocery money, but I do not
delude myself Into thinking
this is good management nor
suffer the illusion that the
grocer is really giving me
that two dollars.
I am not especially in fa
vor of outlawing the stamps
entirely, but I do think we
have too many different kinds
to save, sort, paste and parley

stamps, gold stamps, silver

After the withdrawel of So

Then, Nikita Khrushchev's

round of speculation that they
were approaching a solution
to their troubles, if only to
take advantage of the obvious
split in the Atlantic alliance.
Mixed in with Western
speculation also have been
questions which fall in the
category of "which came

These have been such ques
tions as whether the dispute
actually was economic or ide
ological or whether it is less
a matter of ideology than an
outright fight for Communist
leadership.
Henry Shapiro, a UPI cor
respondent in Moscow for
more than 25 years, makes it
simpler. He says there never

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
Some of the news is on the
weird side. For example: Rus
sian scientists say they have
brought two historic Tritons
(vertebrates resembling liz
ards) BACK TO LIFE, after
they had lain frozen aolid for
5,000 years in Siberia. '
The claim is made in a Mos
cow radio broadcast heard in
London:
(Editor's note: This column
was written before Russian
scientists repudiated this
story.)
THE broadcast gave this ac
count of the find:
"Some time ago Soviet
geologists found something
resembling a lizard at a depth
of about 25 feet in the frozen
ground of northern Siberia.
It revived after being kept
at room temperature for some
time.
"Scientists finally classified
it as a four-toed Triton, one of
the oldest and most primitive
orders of tailed amphibia that
just that the whole bit seems
a little overdone.

Dirty Air and Water
To the Editor: Congratula
tions on your article in Fri
day's Tribune on air pollu
tion. You are as correct as
can be. They hold the air
pollution meetings and talk
about how they have correct
ed this and that, and measur
ing it. If you want to measure
the air pollution just wash
your car and let it sit out
for 30 minutes and see how
much soot from the mill drift
is on it, or a nice white paint
job on your house and see
how long before it is black.
Thanks for your article.

Washington-President Ken

this session of congress, his

e n d a ngered
now by two
vastly differ

One is the

Whlte r e s e niea ay
the American Bankers Asso
ciation, which is not opposci
to tax reductions as such but
which fears the builUn fed
eral deficit they would bring
in the absence of a reduction
in all federal expenditures.
The President has just met
the men of the A.B.A. here
in a mutually grave and mu
tually courteous seminar to
examine the great problem.
And they have parted in mu
tually respectful agreement
to disagree responsibly and as
adults; they have parted in
civility.
THE other danger has been
raised in the senate by
Democrats who tirelessly pro
claim themselves to be the
most pro-Kennedy of all pos
sible Kennedy Democrats.
And this danger is without
any civility at all' and abso
lutely innocent of any touch
of adult reasonableness. This
is the bitter chaos within the
inhabited the earth in the
Mesozoic Era (the dinosaur
age.) Judging by the state of
the earth in which it was
found, biologists concluded
that the Triton had been
asleep for about 5,000 years."
PRETTY creepy?
You haven't heard any
thing yet. The broadcast went
on to say:
'On awakening, the crea
ture behaved exactly as it
presumably acted thousands
of years ago. It ran around. It
ate and slept. It was not
afraid of people, willingly eat
ing wild berries, flies and
mosquitoes that were fed to
it.
"It died after three weeks.
Another Triton was found
frozen about 13 feet under
ground. This one also revived
and lived practically all sum
mer. '
ARE the Russkles pulling
our leg to use the Brit
ish phrase for telling a tall
tale? In the communist code
of ethics, lying is a creditable
and patriotic thing when it
serves some allegedly useful
purpose such as spreading
the idea that Russian scien
tists are supermen.
But
There are the entire bodies
of mammoths that have been
found frozen in the ground of
Siberia. These finds are fully
authenticated. The flesh of
these ' frozen monster pre
historic beasts was so good
when it thawed out that dogs
ale it eagerly. Presumably
man would have done so if
his more civilized stomach
hadn't rebelled at such fare.
AND-
The encyclopedias tell us
When the solid sheets of
ice of the ice age melted, an
imals and plants CAME
BACK TO LIFE. Then, these
accepted scientific accounts
continue, the ice sheets moved
in again and the remains of
these animals and plants
were burled again.
Presumably, what has hap
pened before can happen
again.

U Is i story to the effect

more eerie than the FACT
that we have been able to

out into space a man-made
ship equipped with robots
that are able to send back to
us in robot language capable
of being translated into mod
ern English words the news
that the planet Venus is in
capable of sustaining human
life because its temperatures
run upwards of 800 degrees
Fahrenheit?
It's a weird world and the
chances arc that it will get
even weirder as time passes
and research proceeds.

S. White
Democratic side of the Sen
ate, which for seven weeks
has been fanned by a hand
ful of ultra-liberal Democrats
whose determination to
change the rules and power
balances to suit their personal
wishes has now ended in fore
doomed failure - and in mani
fest injury to any and all
parts of the Kennedy legisla
tive program.
Because of them, the Sen
ate ' for these seven weeks
has not turned a legislative
wheel, on taxes or anything
else. Indeed, only now has
it been possible to form
those legislative committees,
normally formed in the early
days of January, which must
now so belatedly start to be
gin to grapple with the leg
islative business of congress.
The ultra-liberals, led by
Senators, Joseph Clark of
Pennsylvania and Paul Doug
las of Illinois, set out first to
waste weeks in demanding a
curb on free debate. Predict
ably losing this, they pro
ceeded to challenge their own
parly leadership and the vast
majority of their own Demo
cratic colleagues by attempts
to pack Senate committees to
their own private liking.
TkJOTABLY, their goal was
the tax-writing Senate Fi
nance committee, which will
now be fortunate if it is able
to act at all on the President's
tax bill before fall.
Turned back by their own
people in the Democratic
caucus, the ultra-liberals next
chose to appeal to the whole
Senate, endlessly crying out
for majority rule." This fi
nal test they managed to lose
by a margin of nearly four
to one. They marshaled 17
votes to the 68 cast against
them. These 17 men formed
the "majority" for which
they spoke, in the most pet
tily irresponsible action taken
by a splinter group against its
own party, Its own party lead
ership and its own chamber
within at least' three decades.
And it was all done under the
slogan of "protecting" the
Kennedy program from being
"smothered, crippled and im
peded."
A senator who must be
presumed to be somewhat in
terested in the "Kennedy pro
gram of his brother, the
President, did not see it this
way. Senator Ted Kennedy of
Massachusetts joined the 67
others in opposing this tin-
pot putsch against orderly
procedure in the Senate.
ONE result of it all, apart
from that of bringing the
Senate to a dead halt for
nearly two months, has been
that this tiny, rule-or-ruin
minority has fouled its own
Democratic nest as it has not
been fouled in many years.
Another has been to com
promise the capacity of the
patient and moderate Senate
Democratic leader, Mike
Mansfield of Montana, to ' ad
any kind of reasonably united
party in behalf of the Presi
dent, Nothing ever done or likely
to be done by his Republican
opposition will have such
punishing consequences for
the President as this ugly
episode caused by men whose
persistent ineffcctuality as
legislators has led them to
look everywhere but within
themselves-to cry foul against
the rules, the umpire, the
playing field or whatever -for
the real reasons for that
ineffectuality.

fornia the reminder that
the phrase, "simon-pure," is
another strange vestige of
an otherwise forgotten
work.
A comedy written in the
year 1717 by one Susanna
Centlivre, called "A Bold
Stroke for a Wife," intro
duces an impostor who goes
by ihe name of Simon Pure,
pretending to be a Penn
sylvania Quaker of good
repute. Miss Centlivre. her
play, and her character,
have been long forgoiten
but for some inexplicable
reason, "simon pure" has
remained In our speech.
And a bacteriologist in New
Jersey points out that the
word "syphilis" has achieved
a dubious immortality
through the little-known
book of the 18th century,
"Syphilis Sive de Morbo Gal
lico," by an Italian poet and
physician. The hero of the
book was a man named
Syphilis, meaning "friend of
swine." His name quickly
passed into our medical term
inology for the disease.
Of course, hundreds of
common words have entered
the language from the names
of real people boycott,
bloomer, guillotine, mesmer
ism, ampere, braille, chauvin.
ism, derrick, dunce, galvanic,
macadam, masochism, nico
tine, sadism, sandwich, saxo
phone, silhouette, fuschia,
and innumerable others.
In our own time, one of the
few candidates for this lin
guistic honor is the infamous
Vidkun Quisling of Norway,
who was hanged in 1946 for
betraying his country by coN
laboratlng with the occupying
enemy. "Quisling" enjoyed a
considerable vogue for a num
ber of years, but only time
and the needs of language
will decide its immortality.
