The Legislature IV
Educators Show
Mixed Reaction
To Legislature
Editor's note Tht education of mor than one-half million
youths from tint grade through college ad graduate itudy
A?.,90"' 9I,,,e,t expense. How did education tare at the
1963 legislature?
This it the fourth in a series of articles.
By ZAN STARK and ANN H. PEARSON
Salem-IUPD-The educators responsible for Oregon's stu
dents came to the 1S63 legislature with pleas, cajolery, and
warnings that the level of education must be kept up.
Their experiences with the legislature ranged from cordial
to rugged.
When it was all over, their feelings ranged from satisfied,
to mixed, to outspokenly adverse. .
The biggest problem was money. Education will lake
more than the $404 million for the next two years.
The most bruising fight was over the college and univer
sity system, which got the most detailed review of any subject
before the legislature.
Walsh Urged More for Education " "
When the legislature convened in January, William Walsh
of the state Board of Higher Education jabbed his glasses at a
committee and declared the system would fight for more
than the governor had proposed.
It ended up with a little less, but in view o'f the money
problem, it fared well.
Higher education came out with a $77.3 million general
fund operating budget plus $2 million for a hospital trans
ferred to its medical school from the board of control.
It was given a $44 million building program, using both
bonds and general funds, although a portion of it is con
tingent upon voter approval of a bond issue. And it got $1.7
million for salary improvements over and above built-in
raises.
The main cuts in the operating budget came from a re
duction in new teachers. Under legislative pressure, the
system also increased student fees, particularly for out-of-state
students.
When it ended, Walsh called it '.the hardest blow higher
education has suffered in 20 years ... it means a real de
terioration." (Continued on page A3)

"Currently, there are more
than 19,361 phones in the
Medford exchange," Creager
said. "Customers here now
dial directly without long
distance charges to more than
30,792 phones through ex
tended service."
Ashland and Phoenix -Talent

both the number of local
phones and those that can
be dialed in neighboring ex
changes without long distance
charges.

Denied Hearing
By High Court
GUARDSMEN READY- Alabama National
Guardsmen leap off the troop carrier which
brought them to the Brandon Armory at
Tuscaloosa, Ala. Approximately 500 Nation-;
al Guard Stoops ordered out by Gov. George
Wallace arrived in the racially tense city
as tension increased over pending enroll
ment of two Negroes at the University of
Alabama Tuesday. (UPI) ' ,
Washington - flJPD - The
U. S. Supreme Court today
denied a hearing to Larry
West Shipley, 21, MeMinn-
villc, Ore., who is under sen
tence to die for the slaying
of Linda Jean Stevens, 16,
Willamina, Ore., on Aug. 8,
1961.
The brief order leaves the
state of Oregon free to carry
out the execution. A death
date will be set in Lincoln
County Circuit Court.
Shipley and Glen Douglas
Dixon both were convicted of
first degree murder in the
slaying of the girl, whose
bullet-riddled body was found
on a forest path near Otis
Junction.
Shipley received a death
sentence and Dixon was sen
tenced to life.
The petition for Supreme
Court review was filed by
Attorney Jonathan U. New
man of the American Civil
Liberties Union in Portland.
Newman contended there
was unreasonable delay in
taking Shipley before a mag
istrate and that confessions
obtained during this period
were erroneously introduced
in evidence.
Newman said in Portland
he would have no comment
on any future plans until he
talked to Shipley and other
attorneys. "We'll have to re
assess the situation," he said.
The Oregon Supreme Court
by a divided vote last Oct. 10
affirmed Shipley's convic
tion. j
Shipley is one bf four per
sons facing execution in Ore
gon. The high court recently
denied a hearing to Jcannace
June Freeman, 21, who was
convicted of throwing a boy
to his death in the Crooked
River Gorge. Her attorneys
have said they will ask the
court to reconsider.

The case ended in a mistrial
when the jury could not

Montgomery, Ala. - IUPH -
Gov. George C. Wallace held
final strategy sessions with
his advisers today before fly
ing to the University of Ala
bama where he has vowed to
block the admission of two
Negro students Tuesday.
Wallace was scheduled to
leave for Tuscaloosa, the site
of the university, later today.
He will spend the night, in
Tuscaloosa.
The little chief executive
appeared on a statewide tele
vision hookup Sunday night
and urged Alabamans to keep
away from the university dur
ing his showdown with the
federal government.
"You can stand up for
Alabama and stand with me
by staying away on Tuesday,"
Wallace said. "We want no
unauthorized persons at the
University of Alabama."
Wallace said any "agitators
of violence" would be arrest
ed swiftly.
"Mob action is not the way
to acquire constitutional
privileges in this state," he
said.
"What happens to me is of
no consequence but what hap
pens to the Constitution is
what matters," Wallace told
the television audience.
"Let's meet this crisis calmly
and with restraint."
He said he was keeping a
"covenant" he made with the
people during his campaign
for governor to "stand in the
schoolhouse door" to block
integration in Alabama.
His action also was to test
the constitutionality, of ,the
federal government's author
ity to enforce integration, he
said.
"I have kept tho faith-you
keep the peace," he said.
"Please stay away." '
Wallace wired President
Kennedy during the week
end that he was dispatching
National Guardsmen to Tus
caloosa to "preserve order."
He said that would be their
sole purpose. He. emphasized
the Guardsmen would not be
used to thwart the Negroes'
entrance to the university.
