" Instead of bucking the tide of regression, which rose to a crest on October 15th, some of the leaders of the Legislature appear determined to give it fresh impetus. That is the way I interpret the attacks of Sen. Walter J. Pearson on the State System of Higher Education and his proposals for legisla tive interference with administration of the states' institutions of higher learning. Public school education is also embraced in the attack. One resolution would deny the State Board of Eduction authority to increase the tuition charged students or to raise the admission standards. Both have been proposed by the board as one way to meet the crisis which arises from the chopping off of $6 million from its 1963-65 budget. Thus the Legislature proposes to keep broad the educa tion program, and maintain quantity at the price of quality. SINCE roughly 80 pr Viirrhoi- orliinatinn is is the major area where economies would have to be made. This would entail dropping of em ployes and cutting salaries of those retained. Nothing, as far as finances go, could be more demoralizing to these institutions as centers of instruction and of learning and research than slashing salaries. Already the Oct. 15th blow has done the schools grave damage. If, the Legislature undertakes now to ad minister the institutions especially after it for years has prodded the governing board to raise tuition and stiffen (particularly for out-state entrants) Oregon becomes identified as a state indifferent to high er education and niggardly in its support. t THE MOOD reflected in this move is quite in contrast with that indicated when this same legislature adopted SJR 8 ordering the State Board of Education to draft plans for compre hensive graduate education in the Portland met ropolitan area, and submit them in 1965. Even preparing the it was plain when the that the state couldn t, in assumed burdens, take on part ot the cost of such Yet the resolution passed with only three No votes in the Senate and six in the House. This special session ought to adopt another resolution relieving the board of the task then imposed. ANOTHER attack is inferred in a resolution auditing procedures by the Board of Higher Ed ucation.This may stem from intimations that the forthcoming audit by the reveal faults. It is the job of auditors to dig out all the facts and bring error or maladministration to light. Inasmuch as the accounts of the board have been under continuing scrutiny of the Audit Division of the State Department over a long term of years it is dobutful if any have now been discoveed. on the previous audits. Ot course there is always an area of spend ing where discretion is involved. The state board and its administrative staff exercise discretion and assume reponsibility of how they employ it. AS FOR the third proposal to initiate a probe of the Department of Education, including certification of teachers and state standards for school buildings, that is clearly a fishing expe dition. What it would turn up, I do not know. This state department has grown over the years, but almost altogether on orders from the state Legislature, other than expansion required by growth ot schools in number and size. Duty after duty was added to this depart ment, most of the additions coming before the superintendent, Dr. Leon AS FOR Pearson's assurance that that the ex penditure of $55,000 for the two studies would result in saving of millions of dollars, I will agree, if the inquiries are made in the spirit which he reveals and the tions parried out. His plan is simply the downgrading of qual ity in higher education; and Oregon's present rating is only "middling," with some exceptions. The multiplication of state schools, by order of the Legislature, has served to prevent upgrad ing of quality, for lack of funds. Nor is there any way to save millions in public schools save at the cost of programs and salaries. IT IS HIGH time for friends of education to as 1 sert themselves. Is Oregin to be condemned to mediocrity in its system of education from bottom to top? Or will it continue to aim for excellence, and make sacrifice lo attain a fair measure of quality? If, after the voter insurirence of October 15th. wrecking crews are to be dispatched by the Leg islature to extend the damage, then a twilight of long miration win spuio on the state. The state will be drained of many of its ablest educators, and ambitious students will go elsewhere for their higher education and not return to Oregon. ml. - 1 J . .1 . , . , , ... i ue uuhi-uh oi education ana administrators have accepted with as muster the mandate ot the people at the election.

Foundations of Freedom To the Editor: Inaugural Ad dress, George Washington, April 30, 1789; "It would be peculi arly improper to omit in this first Official act, my fervent supplication to that Almighty Being, Who rules over the uni verse, Who presides in the na tional councils, and whose provi dential ends can supply every human defect, that His bene diction may consecrate to the liberties and happiness of the people of the United States a government instituted by them selves. . . . Every step by which they have advanced seems to have been distinguished by some of providential agency. ... We ought to be persuaded that the propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which Heaven itself has ordained. Can you imagine Washington advocating peaceful co-existing with Communism? Inaugural Address, John Ad ams, March 7, 1797, "May that Being Who is supreme over all, The Patron of Order, the Foun tain of Justice, and the Protec tor in all ages of the world of virtuous liberty, continue His blessings upon the nation and its government, and give it all possible success and duration consistent with the end of His providence." Later John Adams said, "The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: It connected in one indissoluble bond the principles of evil gov ernment with the principles of Christianity. John Adams was thus one of the early adherents to the phi losophy that freedom and free government arise when men ad here to the principles of Chris tianity. Organized society re quires discipline. If we do not voluntarily discipline ourselves in accord with the moral law of God, we shall bring the dis cipline of the secret police upon us. William Penn said, "Men who will not rule themselves will be ruled by tyrants." Lately some writers have been claiming that the Founding Fathers were not Christians, but Deists. Well, if Deists they were definitely not atheists, and had no intention of founding an atheistic government. How judge whether a man is a Christian but by his character and deeds? Bella Dodd, former communist says there is a conspiracy of atheists, communists and mis led citizens who arc determined to blot out God and the Bible from schools, courts and coins and turn this country over to Godless communism. Then, not only will be gone our freedom of religion, but all our freedom. L. G. Weaver, 301 Haven St., Medford Factual Integrity To the Editor: In a vicious at tack directed at the United Na tions appearing in this column on Nov. 3 in a letter written by Frank Koch of Central Point, the allegation is made that the United Nations together with its Chartor was the "special cre ation" ot our "secret govern ment, the "Council on Foreign Relations," whose key members consisted) of 'Nelson Rockefel ler and "communist agents" Al ger Hiss, Harry Dexter White, and 1-co Paslovsky. It seems al most unnecessary to point out that this is quite at odds with historical fact. But, nevertheless, the actual urigln of the United Nations and Its Charter, as briefly delineat ed in the publication, Facts for Fallacies, released in M.nih. 1903, by the U.S. Committee for the United Nations (a non-partisan committee established by tho U.S. State Department in 1948 and whose Chairman is an nually appointed by the Presi dent) Is as follows (pp. 3-4): "llalf-WBy through World War II most people agreed with MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, name and address of the writer, this column do not necessarily represent the views ot the paper; in tact President Roosevelt that some thing must be done to prevent another such terrible slaughter from ever happening again. Al San Francisco, in 1945, while the war was still going on, repre sentatives from SO nations met to work out the basie charter . . '. Preliminary drafts . . . had been draw up by experts and discussed at various inter national conferences at Dum barton Oaks in Washington, D.C. and at Yalta. But it was at Sari Francisco that the final draft was hammered out . . . phrase by phrase, and concept by .concept. . . "The United States Delega tion to the San Francisco Con ference was composed of: Sen ators Arthur Vandenberg and Tom Connally; Representatives Sol Bloom and Charles Eaton; Harold Stassen, Miss Virginia Gildersleeve, President of Bar nard College; and Secretary of State Edward R. Stettinius, Jr., who was Chairman. In this con nection many people ask what role Alger Hiss played in the framing of the Charter. As a staff member of the State De partment, he did NOT work on the original draft. At San Fran cisco Alger Hiss served as Sec retary of the Conference, a job which Involved making we ad ministrative arrangements for the meetings; scheduling met ing rooms, translators, anil sim ilar facilities. He was NOT a delegate and at no time did he have a vote on any question." Mr. Koch, may I suggest that in the future you confirm the veracity of your purported "facts" before parading them in the public press. The freedom and opportunity to utilize tnis mode of communication to promulgate one's views carries with it tho equal responsibility for factual integrity.

Bank Rules To the Editor: I am offering one suggestion that might go a long way toward reducing the number of families on Oregon relief rolls. That is, to see to it that corporation banks conform to the state and county laws in which they operate and do not function under what they call Bank Rules that allow them privileges not afforded smaller business tirms or individuals. Did you know that if a man and wife secure a small loan from a bank, giving as security a chattel mortgage on property jointly owned and the obliga tion is not met on the due date the bank is obligated to notify, by letter, only one of the parties involved of the default.' Did you know that without any further notice they may take possession ot tne property and sell it immediately without notice or without informing the parties involved that they have done so.' Did you know that if the mort gaged property contains several hund 'Cd dollars worth of . per sonal property not involved, that they can transport it any place, even across county lines and place it in storage in your name, without notice to you. of the articles taken or where it is placed? This can be done even if it is the complete house hold furnishings, clothing, food, etc., of an entire family. ' Did you know you would be obligated to locate it at your own expense, pay the storage charges and transport it back from where it was removed, all at your own expense? Did you know you are given no opportunity to redeem the chattel, even though you were unaware of the default? Did you know that any lawyer will tell you the average citi zen has no recourse because of the expense involved in a law suit, that the bank would only appeal and appeal over and over for years, if necessary? I find myself in this situation, and unless I can figure some way to get my family's posses-' sions out of storage and trans ported we will remain without furniture, clothing, or food and Oregon will acquire another mother and four children on its already over - burdened relief rolls.

TOUGH TALK: The United States is handing out some tough talk to its West ern Allies about trade with Rus sia and ner saieimes. mere will be more of it this week when U.S. Undersecretary of State George W. Ball talks to the NATO Permanent Council and to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and De velopment (OECD) in Paris. The United States feels the Europeans are granting too easy credit terms to Commu nist bloc nations and in effect underwriting their economies in a rush for orders. Among those opposing the U.S. position is Britain. Britain, backed by sev eral of the smaller NATO mem bers, holds there is no reason for further limitations of trad ing with the Communists. THE WHEAT DEAL: The U.S.-Soviet wheat deal is expected to have repercussions in Japan, one analysis predicts it will set off a rise in shipping rates and commodity prices, meaning the Japanese will have to pay more for the food they eat and the raw materials they process. Japan's balance of payments will suffer. On the other hand, Under-developed countries making more money on their raw materials will be able to buy more manufactured products from developed coun tries such as Japan. Some of the pain resulting from - U.S "Buy American" measures will be eased. The Japanese also believe that East-West trade will be stimulated and that in the end Japan may benefit. in the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS In Las Vegas, a $21,500 COM PUTER named LGP-21 picks up an easy $360 in a blackjack game. It worked like this: The computer decided wheth er or not to draw a card or hit as it is known in gam bling circles and HOW MUCH TO BET from $2 to $42 on the basis of information fed to it on each play. The boss of the computer would indicate to the machine on each play what his two cards were and what card the dealer was showing in his hand. If nothing happened, it meant not to draw a card. If the robot flashed a green light, it was time to take another card. WHAT happened? Well, at the end of 50 minutes the robot was $360 ahead and the Hotel Tropicana's casino, where the game took place, threw in the sponge and called it quits. TN NEW YORK, President Kennedy calls for prompt passage of his $11 BILLION tax cut as "top priority insurance against a recession in 1964." He described senate adoption of the house-approved tax cut legislation as the MOST IM PORTANT single step that can be taken to reduce high unem ployment. The tax cut, WITHOUT a cor responding cut in spending, he said, would create from two million to three million more jobs. rpilE speech was prepared for -" the fifth biennial convention of the AFL-CIO, and the Presi dent told his hearers that the need for more jobs and eco nomic security is the over-riding issue in the United States at the present time. The business recovery, he added, may be RUNNING OUT OF STEAM and the great need is to fire up the boilers with more fuel and thus provide Muim sieam. A tax cut without a corre sponding cut in spending, he indicated, is the best way to provide tne additional steam that is needed. 7ELL, you will note that al ' ' Las Vegas the robot acted on the information given it by its boss. If its boss had aiveh it the wrong information, its decision as to wnat to do next would presumably have been wrong. That suggests a thought: Maybe President Kennedy is giving us the wrong information when he says that taxing less and spending more is the way to create prosperity. AT LEAST, that is the way those of us who call our selves conservatives feel about it. We can't help feeling that in urging a policy of spending more and taxing less President Kennedy is feeding us the wrong information. So- Wc're pretty sure that if the attendant had fed the Las Vegas robot WRONG INFORMATION it would have lost instead of winning.

Names most frequently mentioned include Italian Am Strictly Personal By Sidney J. Harri (c) Field Enterprises, lne. IDEALISMS I bought a new suit last week. I walked into the shop, said to a salesman, "Let me see a gray suit in a medium weight." He brought out a gray suit in a medium weight, I tried it on, said, "It seems all right," and the tailor came out to make the necessary alterations. This is how a man, on the whole, buys a suit. I had no illusion that it would do any thing for me except hide my underwear and provide pockets for my notes, cigarets and glasses. When a woman buys a com parable garment, however, it is mostly a material purchase. It is a moment of magic: what she is looking for is not some thing to cover her, but some thing to change her. The in volved and protracted purchase of clothes by woman cannot be understood unless we know what she is really looking for. Husbands who are impatient and derisive and superior about (heir wives' clothes buying habits fail to appre ciate perhaps the most funda mental difference between the male and the female. The male Is idealistic in his be liefs, and practical in his con duct; the female is practical in her beliefs, and idealistic in her conduct. Most of the abstractions that men believe in, and work for and fight for and sometimes die for, are thought to be Will Mr. Nixon Find Himself! Ip 4j By Arthur Hoppe Jjv yj Mr. Rockefeller has eagerly tossed his hat in the ring. Mr. Goldwater, fire in his eye, has his arm cocked. And Mr. Nixon keeps going around telling Re publicans: "Don't worry, I'm sure we'll find somebody." Else. It's not that Mr. Nixon has anything against Mr. Goldwater, who's too conservative, or Mr. Rockefeller, who's too romantic. Even though he implies neither of these dunderheads has a pray er of beating Mr. Kennedy. It's just that the GOP must find a candidate, he says, who will "unite all factions of the party." You know, like a solid conserv atively progressive moderate. And as a public service, Mr. Nixon is practically devoting full time to his one-man talent search for this Ideal Candidate. You can't pick up a paper or turn on television without seeing Mr. Nixon out there, talent searching. Indeed, you get the impression he spends all day on the phone conducting person nel interviews.

They are immensely prac tical and pragmatic and ex pedient and personal in their beliefs. It is in their conduct that idealism displays itself: and no where more so than in the purchase and wearing of clothes. Here, all practicality deserts them, and they be come the victims of abstract delusions with no basis in fact. What a woman wants in a new dress, or suit, or coat, is an other facet to her personality. She clings to the irrational con viction that if only she had enough clothes, of various sorts, then somehow life would be dif ferent and better, new vistas would be open, old problems be resolved, and. her internal beau ty would blossom for all the world to see. This is a rather sweet and pathetic delusion, comparable to the male's delusion that if his party were only in office long enough, or his nation were solely supreme, then taxes would de crease, wars would cease, and profits would be limitless. There is little to choose be tween either of these forms of monomania but the woman, at least, does not try to imposo her delusions upon others. Her idealism is harmless, if expen sive: man's is fatally dangerous and incalculable in cost. can't argue with you there. Ha, ha. "But about your personal life, Al.
