WEDNESDAY, JULY 14, 1954 HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE FIVE Swedish Educator Studies American School Methods By MILLIE IUMSBY Sent lrom Sweden bv the Royal Board for Vocational Training to study vocational training programs in this country, Dr. Karl-Em Wandell was in Klamath Palls briefly between scheduled visits to various universities and other schools selected in the planned itinerary. The young educator (in his early thirties) is currently teach ing at the College of Commerce in Oerebro, about 100 miles from Stockholm. His background, of varied exper ience, includes YMCA work, and he will represent Sweden at an important Y meeting in Paris nest year. During World War II he was oflicial "host" to all allied fliers who fell or sought asylum in Sweden. Dr. Wandell showed keen inter est in the USA generally but in specific reference to "why he was here," stated: "My research pri Riam Is the relationship between schools and colleges of commerce and prospective employers and what they expect of the graduate as an employe. "In Sweden we teachers often have a feeling that we do not know what the companies want us to teach. To us you have much to ofler in this scope of our re search, since many of your schools are in constant touch with per sonnel directors. 'Of special Interest to me is the cooperation existing between schools and companies evidenced in the part time employment of pupils in all types of business. In Sweden we have only tried this for those who are going to be retailers. "The Royal Board for Vocation al Education is in charge of al most all vocational training and the appointment of teachers. Ouf fit 4 U.S. Approves fishing Pact ! WASHINGTON Wi The House Merchant Marine and Fisheries Committee aproved Tuesday a bill to effectuate a fisheries conserva tion compact among the United States, Canada and Japan in north Pacific waters. Representatives of the Interior Department and fishery interests endorsed the measure, as they did at a Senate Commerce committee hearing Monday, The three-nation agreement was signed at Tokyo May 9, 1952. The pending legislation would perfect the mechanism for this country's participation in joint studies and regulations. Milton brooding of San Fran cisco, one of the American com missioners of the compact, who al so operates the California Pack ing Corp., pointed out that the in ternational commission meets in Victoria, British Columbia, next fall and that American members needed the same status as those from Canada and Japan. The compact contains agree ments by the signatory countries to abstain from exploiting speci fied fish principally halibut, sal mon and herring which already are being caught in maximum, numbers consistent with conser vation practices. For instance, Japan agrees to abstain from fishing for salmon, halibut and herring in certain wat- ters of the American Pacific coast and Canada agrees to abstain from fishing for salmon in cer tain waters of the Bering Sea. Policemen Draw Choice Assignment PITTSBURGH Wl Several Allegheny County (Pittsburgh) po licement have a choice assign ment. The cops, all golfers, will go out on the three county golf courses next week. They'll look like the average fellow trying to break par. But they have orders not to wor ry too much about their scores. They've been ordered to keep on the rbokout for an apparently well organized gang of boys stealing golf balls. economic and commercial life Is developing so fast that it is dif ficult to keep up with current) methods. . . We have riot had a de pression period since 1929-31 in fact, during the past 15 years there has been a considerable lack of workers. Therefore, it Is neces sary to develop better and more effective methods to prepare our graduate students for immediate employment. "I am impressed with the regu lar meetings and discussions be tween teachers and business man agers . . . and that teachers here are able to acquire first-hand knowledge of what employers ex pect through personal experience during vacations as workers in offices and shops. "Many helpful ideas that I will take back, were gained from ob serving your social work proce dure, which develops common sense and responsibility in your students. But you have more time for such things because it is not compulsory for you (as for us) to learn different languages. In addition, your students have the Satuday free. In my school, all are required to take English, Ger man and French. And those who plan to be advanced secretaries study Spanish, too. "Employers in Sweden are very much interested in this social work to the extent of spending a lot of money on welfare pro grams. The results have been good and we seldom have a strike: "I want to emphasize that our two countries have almost the same problems to solve. We are doing much research in fields you have already covered and vice versa. We now realize that if we try to solve our problems alone, we lose time and energy that could be used more productively. In my opinion, we must have more ex change of experience than we have had- in the past." Since his arrival in the United States June 3, Dr. Wandell has studied by invitation at the Uni- versity of Notre Dame and the University of Michigan. After a possible stop at Stan ford while in California, he will visit Northwestern University in Illinois on his way east where he plans to continue his research at Columbia University and sever al schools of business education before leaving New York for Sweden.

IPi Octavio Flores, 19, was feeling pretty chipper today and very much relieved. Flores and Lupe Perez, 17, were wrestling yesterday when Perez playfully pointed a .33 revolver he thought was unloaded at Octavio and pulled the trigger. The pistol belched smoke and flame and Flores crumpled to the ground holding his stomach and gasping. But all the doctor at a local hospital did about it was place a small strip of adhesive tape on the youth's abdomen and tell him to go home. A Navy-style web belt stopped the bullet from point-blank range. The slug was found between Flores' belt and his khaki trousers, Flores had a sorely bruised midsection.
