GURRICULAR
CHANGES IDE
AT BOARD MEET
' Numerous curricular changes
- were made at a meeting of the
board ot higher education in
Portland this week, according to
R. C. Groesbeck, Klamath mem
ber of the group, who returned
Wednesday from the session.
- Two important additions were
made to the Oregon State college
curriculum including a course in
industrial engineering and light
building construction to meet the
country's building needs in the
war industry areas.
Pinch Felt
Groesbeck said the board ap
proved certain courses requested
in connection with the new work
in business and technology at
OSC.
As to monetary matters, the
local member said colleges were
feeling the pinch along with
everything else due to the
threatened loss of faculty to bet
ter paying positions and the fact
that many employes of the
physical plants are under paid.
The University of Oregon
school of medicine found its
nursing revised to meet emerg
ency conditions, Groesbeck said.
Son Visited
Six members of the nine-man
board- were present, the other
three unable to attend due to
weather conditions. Also dis
cussed at the meeting were bills
pending before the legislature
that relate to Oregon schools. '
En route home Groesbeck
visited his son, Stewart, who is
resident engineer in charge of
the new air base under construc
tion at Corvallis.

20-25,000 Japanese-Owned
Autos Reported Jacked Up
FRESNO, Calif., Jan. 29
The Fresno Bee said Thursday
an estimated 20,000 to 25,000
Japanese-owned automobiles and
trucks equipped with pre-war
grade tires in good condition are
believed to be stored for the
duration of the war in public
and private garages in the three
Pacific coast states.
The Bee article said:
"These cars represent a mar
ket value of from $10,000,000 to
$12,500,000 on a basis of $500
a car. But of more importance
during the rubber shortage, they
carry from 100,000 to 125,000
tires made out of good rubber.
Their owners are in Japanese
relocation centers in California
and other states under federal
government care.
"Before they left for these
centers, however, they carefully
stored their autos, passenger and
trucks. They jacked them up,
put blocks under axles, removed
the batteries and deflated the
tires to about 10 pounds, a press
ure which tire experts say will
keep tires indefinitely or with
very little depreciation. In many
cases they removed the tires en
tirely and put them in the cars.
AFL Threatens
Withdrawal of
No-Strike Pact
PORTLAND, Jan. 29 (IP)
The national labor relations
board hearing of CIO charges
against the Kaiser company ship
yards continued quietly Thurs
day as the A5L pressed a de
mand that the bearing be called
off.
John P. Frey, AFL metal
trades president, declared in an
interview, "already about 250,-
000 AFL members have sent
word to Washington that they
will withdraw from their no-
stoppage-of-work agreement un
less the NLRB quits trying to
destroy the AFL agreement with
the Kaiser shipyards.
"We took the position that if
our government failed us when
one of its agencies attempted to
destroy us, we would have to
withdraw from our agreement."

automobiles.
"We certainly have jurisdic

-ALEM, Jan. 29 (IP) -Oregon's
1942 Industrial payroll pt
$353,711,82? was 63 per cent
greater than in 1941, and 109
per cent larger than In 1940, the
state industrial accident commis

The payroll for Multnomah
county only totaled $207,967,788
in 1942, or 132 per cent more
than in 1941, and 223 per cent
more than in 1940.

third of the state's total, but now,
because of shipyards and other
war industries in Portland, it
amounts to two-thirds.
