Phone 772-2111 University Will Be Host for 1964 Summer Institute EUGENE The University of Oregon will again play host to the John Hay Fellows bum mer Institute in the Humanities according to Dr. Charles R. Keller, national director of the fellowship program. The month - long session in the summer of 1964 will mark the third consecutive year that the institute has been held at the University, which remains the only state - supported insti tution to take part in the pro gram. Other summer institutes will be held at Bennington College, Colorado College, and Williams College. ' In 1964, approximately 170 public senior high school teach ers and 70 public school admin istrators will be selected to at tend the institutes. During the past summer, 64 teachers and administrators from through out the country attended the Oregon institute. Participants read and discuss a selected group of significant J books and attend lectures and classes on a wide variety of liberal arts subjects. The insti tutes are designed to allow teachers "to recharge their in tellectual batteries" and to help build "a liberal arts foundation under teacher training," ac cording to Dr. Keller, who has headed the institute at Oregon for the past two years. The John Hay Fellows Pro gram, which awards year-long fellowships to high school teach ers for study in the humanities, was set up in 1951 by the John Hay Whitney Foundation. The summer institutes were added in 1959. The entire program is now supported chiefly by the ford Foundation. hi It LET i FORAGE A huge pile of corn sits in the middle of a street m Hannibal, Mo., after the Hannibal Grain Termi nal received permission from the mayor to temporarily store gram in the street. A shortage of railroad freight cars and barges has created a glut of gram at many terminals. (UPI) Grain Piled in Midwestern Streets As Shortage of Boxcars Grows Acute HANNIBAL, Mo. (UPI) A I rapidly throughout Missouri. mountain of corn stood on a Grain movement in the state street in this Mississippi River was practically at a standstill. EDUCATIONAL FIRSTS BOSTON (UPI)-The state of Massachusetts can claim a number of "firsts" in education. The first American grammar school was established in Bos ton in 1635, the first public high school was opened here in 1821 and the first compulsory school attendance law was enacted by Massachusetts in 1852, accord ing lo the Encyclopedia Ameri cana. town today as testimony to the worst shortage of firain-to-mar kct boxcars since the Korean War. The Hannibal grain terminal. its elevators already filled, be gan dumping the newly har vested corn in the street last Wednesday. It was covered with huge sheets of plastic to pre vent spoilage. But the sight of grain piled high in the streets of Midwest ern terminal cities was not un common today. . An estimated 19.85 million bushels of milo was stored in the open during the past week in the Midwest. Officials feared the loss from spoilage might run as high as $40 million. Elevators were full or filling The milo harvested in Nebras ka, Iowa and the Dakotas forced the movement of scarce box cars into those areas. "We usually have a shortage of cars, said ueorge Koss, Mis souri Farmers Association traf fic manager. "But it's much worse this year." Spokesmen for . several rail roads agreed. "Worse Than Ever" A Rock Island official said the shortage was "worse than ever." Eldon Martin, general counsel for Burlington Railroad, said that at the end of October, Bur lington had only 493 empty box cars and needed 2.225.

Other railroad officials said the shortage could become even worse if the wheat sale to the Soviet Union is completed. The railroads have estimated that 100,000 boxcars would be needed to transport grain sold to Russia from storage areas in the Midwest to shipping ports. The boxcar shortage has been attributed to many causes other than the bumper grain harvest this year.

Phone 772-2111 Railroads said part of the short age arises from the fact that there are 106,542 fewer boxcars in use this .year than in 1958. Association figures also show that while 20,821 boxcars were placed in service during the first three quarters of this year, 23,882 were scrapped. Much Needs Repair In addition, 8 per cent of the nation's boxcar fleet is in need of repair, the largest percentage since World War II. Another cause of the- short age is that railroad companies can rent boxcars from other companies cheaper than build ing their own. A single boxcar costs more than $12,000 to build. A company can rent the car lor S2.88 per day. The company using the car will receive an estimated $15 per day in revenues. As a re sult, the association said, many rail companies have lost the in centive to build new boxcars. Yet conditions appear to be improving, the association said. The Interstate Commerce Commission issued an order Oct. 18 requiring the return of all 40-loot and 50-foot boxcars belonging to Midwestern rail roads but being used in the East.
