highway department's technical library returns to the
shelf one of the many volumes of engineering literature
contained in the department's collection. The library's nu

for the engineers and technicians who work for the depart

sion of the State Department
of Justice totaled $46, 090 dur

this amount, $43,138 was col

$938 In welfare fraud.
Salem - Being among the
first of its kind in the United
States, the technical library of
the Oregon state highway de
partment will celebrate its
28th anniversary during Na
tional Library .Week, April
21-27.
The library, housed in the
highway department building
in Salem, started with only
220 publications, but now has
5,800 of them, excluding per
iodicals. Before the library
was organized, highway de
partment employees relied on
their privately owned books
or those borrowed from other
offices.
R. H. Baldock, state high
way engineer at the time,
wrote a letter dated April 26,
1037, to all staff officers and
department heads, stating that
"It appears necessary that the
books be assembled in a cen
tral place, catalogued and
made available for the use of
the entire department. To this
end and effective this date,
Mrs. Bcldin, file clerk, will
act In the capacity of depart
ment librarian."
Takes on Slelure
The library grew, and it be
came necessary to hire a per
son with library experience in
1932. From then on. the li
brary took on stature. Many
highway departments of other
states have written for infor
mation about starting their
own technical library.
Mrs. Faitli Steffen, the de
partment's librarian since
1954, says the library contains
carefully-catalogued volumes
of books, pamphlets, docu
ments, technical reports, and
periodicals covering every
possible subject connected
with the construction and
maintenance of highways and
parks. Engineers requiring ad
ditional material for research
projects may obtain it from
the state library by asking
Mrs. Steffen.
Only a dozen technical li
braries exist in other state
highway departments in the
nation. Mrs. Steffen helped set
up several of these by furnish
ing information on how to or
ganize a library. Oregon's li
brary is one of the largest of
its kind.
Variety of Material
The library contains a wide
variety of material. Technical
data include source material
on such subjects as plastics
in engineering, mechanical vi
brations, physical and chem
ical examination of paints and
colors, laws on right of way,
highway commission reports,
landscaping, and many more.
The library uses the Dewey
Classification System, the C.
A. Cutter Three-Figure Author
Table, and the Sears List of
Subject Headings, with neces
sary expansions to cover tile
highly specialized highway
field.
Books are loaned for four
weeks and periodicals for one
week. The loan system applies
to all highway department
personnel in the five divisions
scattered throughout the state.
An automatic routing system
is available for the conven
ience of those who want it.
To an engineer, the high
way department library , is a
valuable source of material
for quick reference, and to all
highway employees it is a
factual, up-to-date working
tool that can save hours of in
dividual research.

Astronomers Told Of New Planet
Tucson, Ariz.-'UPIi-Astrono-
mcrs were told Thursday of
the discovery of an unseen
planet 500 times larger than
the earth.
Peter Van Dc Kamp, direc
tor of the Sproul Observatory
at Swarthmore College in
Pennsylvania, told 300 dele
gates to the American Astro
nomical Society the planet re
volves around Barnard's star
which is six light years dis
tance from the earth.
Van De Kamp, in describ
ing the method of discovery,
said that if a star doesn't
have a companion, its track
across the sky will be a uni
form motion. But if there is
a planet going around it, the
path of the star will wobble.
The amount of the wobble is
a measure of the mass of the
unseen companion.
The astronomer said two
planets in other systems have
been discovered by the same
method - in 1943 by K- A.
Strand and in 1960 by Sarah
Lec Lippincott.
Conference Speaker
At Eugene Listed
Eugunc-Dr. Edwin F. Beal,
associate professor of manage
ment at the Univcmty of Ore
gon, will be one of the prin
cipal speakers at an Office
Management Conference to be
held at the university, Thurs
day, April 25.
Sponsored by the univer
sity's school of business ad
ministration and the Eugene
Chapter, National Office Man
agement association, the con
ference will deal with the
"changinc role of office man
agement." The conference will open
with registration from 1 to
1:30 p.m. in Commonwealth
hall where the school of busi
ness administration is housed.
exceptional. It involves an un
fair labor practices complaint
against a man who apparently
had to choose between the
union and his wife.
"I don't believe in keeping
my readers in suspense, so I
will tell you right off th&t he
l chose his wife. Thus did love
prove a stronger force than
collective bargaining.
But the ending is not en-
tirely a happy one, at le'dst j
I not thus far. An NLRB trial j
examiner, unmoved by the i
l romantic implications of the
case, recommended in tavor
of the union.
The husband who had to
make the odd choice WftS
identified on the examiner's
report as Sheldon V. Uiloy
a Springfield, Mo., electric
contractor doing business as
the Central States Electric
Co.
He was allcdgcd to have
violated the National Labor
Relations Act by firing four
employees who were members
of the International Brother
hood of Electrical Workers
and refusing to bargain with
the IBEW. .
According to trial exam
iner C. W. Whittcmore, testi
mony indicated that Utlcy
acted "under a motivating cir
cumstance not often revealed
in board proceedings."
"It appears," he wrote,
To me it would seem that
Utlcy made the logical de
cision. I have never seen Mrs.
Utley but I'll wager she is a
lot more attractive than any
labor union.
Whittemorc, however, felt
bound to recommend that the
board find against him.
"However sympathetic one
may be with Utley, caught as
he may have been in the un
peaccful middle between his
wife and his union," this was
not valid grounds for cancel
ling the contract, he wrote.
If the NLRB upholds the
examiner, I guess you could
have rcDlicd that he "had no
