Tje power went off in the cen tral" section of the city when a fust blew at a Portland General Elestric Co. substation. During the blackout police talked with the trapped passen gers' and called their homes to explain the delay. Then when the roer resumed the elevator de livered the passengers to their floor. All estimated 500 calls flooded the.police switchboard during the outage. stated by students that this text is composed of two still older; one ised in Augsburg m the 15th cen tury, the other the work of Sebas tian Wild written in the llith cen tury. The present text used in Ober- immergau was written in the vears 1810-1815 by Petter Ottmar Weiss. The final revision was made by the good angel of the village, the beloved Father Alois Daisenberger. The first performance was given at Oberatiimergau in IbM and re peated approximately everv 111 years since. The noted drama is performed in three parts including 18 acts and 24 tableaux. The run ning time of the performance is from 8 a.m. to B p.m. with a two-hour intermission at noon. Pre sentation is given from May 15 to September 30 a period of about 16 weeks. For the first American tour of the New World version the pro ducers have adapted the script for the first time into English. They have also eliminated all of the tableaux and added additional scenes with a running lime of 2' hours, which is customary in the American theater, ln Europe, manv illustrious spectators have witnessed the great production in cluding five kings of Bavaria, Queen Isabella of Spain. German Emperor Friedrich Wilhclm, King Edward the 3th, Richard Wagner, Adelina Patti and many of the lemons singers and actors of the world. The great cosmopolitan and lences moved the eminent Christus portrayer of a generation ago, Mr. Anton Lang, to express hope that "the Passion Play will constitute a basis for a more friendlv inter course between nations, and result a better international under standing." From the summer pilgrimage in the high Bavarian Alps In the New World is a long jump. But just as in Oberammergau the play will beckon, ancf Americans and Cana dians who are seeing the original authentic version as performed in Obcrammorgau for 224 years, and now presented in Klamath Falls, will respond. They will come to see the age-old drama for the first time presented in English on the modern American stage. They V in Js-s-.oj&SsaewKiSM ' . . VAL BALFOUR AS THE CHRISTUS will come wiih varying motives deep reverence, as to a shrine, cureless curiosity, as to a show. In these varied altitudes of mind will come young and old. school boy and prolessor. layman and priest, minister and rabbi. All will lie drawn by the magnet ism of the story of the cross, for now. for the first time in America and Canada, the story is brought to our own doorstep Our people will wit ness not a spectacle, but an in lUicnce one destined to last through all the days that are to come. The ancient drama is the fulfill ment of a religious vow. The story is told in an old chronicle which is preserved in the village arch ives. According to this chronicle, a terrible pestilence visited Ger many in the year one of the results of the 30 Year War. Whole villages were wiped out, but Ober ammergau maintained a strict quarantine and for a time escaped disaster. Unfortunately, a poor fel low named Casper Schusler the name being carefully preserved in the chronicle who was working in a neighlwring town, desired to spend the week with his family. In 33 days nearly a hundred of the villagers had perished, ln their de spair, the people betook themselves to their one recourse God. Their extremity was great, but their faith greater, and God was able to save! So the villagers pledged themselves to a certain course lor all time to periodically render their Passion Play, in return for their deliverance. The compact was made and, skeptical criticism to the contrary notwithstanding, the records state that from that hour, the plague was stayed. The follow ing year the play was given in (ul lillmrnt of the vow and Irom that lime until the present, 324 years later, in spite of many obstacles, the vow has been kept. Ko- the first lour in the New World, as it will be presented in K'amath Kalis, with the dialogue translated from German to Eng lish, the committee has chosen Val Balfour to interpret the part of Jesus of Nazareth. Supporting parts will be portrayed by a huge distinguished cast. The producer. Victor Spouse, with a quarter of a century of Passion Play expe rience to his credit, has hailed Mr. Balfour's interpretation of the Christus as die most sincere and outstanding portrayal of modem times. "In my opinion." slated Spouse "Mr. Balfour's sincere, humble portrayal of .lesus is com parable to the great Anion Lang. Christus portrayer of a generation ago." Mr. Balfour is the fourth genera tion in his family to make Bib lical drama his life work. In prep aration (or the role he now takes, he has given interpretation to many of the male roles in the Pas sion Play. While preparing for the part of Jesus of Nazareth, he played the role of the disciple Si mon Peter, who was known as "the rock" by the Saviour. Lay men, churchmen and educators are unanimous in their opinion that Mr. Balfour achieves commanding power in the greatest and most dif ficult role an actor can undertake.

Higher Education Board Seeks To Restore Budget PORTLAND (AP) The slate Board of Higher Education sifted item by item through a $7,674,305 cut in its budget Friday in pre paration for an appeal Wednes day to Gov. Robert D. Holmes to restore the money. The board, showing no signs of optimism that the money cut from the 1959-61 biennium budget by the Department of Finance would be restored by Holmes, classified the cuts in two groups. The first was labeled cuts be lieved not under the Finance De partment's definition of added or expanded services and the second was for cuts in key services that merit special attention. The seven members at the meeting of the nine - member board also issued a priority list for items to be considered if un-J anticipated funds become avail able. The cuts were made by the de partment on orders from Holmes to keep the budget within the limits of expected revenue, ac cording to the board. This would rule out new or expanded ser vices. - Henry Cabell, board finance committee chairman who presid ed at the meeting, said the cuts "would, if not destroy us. do seri ous damage to higher education.' An aide to Gov.-elcct Mark Hat field, Travis Cross, said Hatfield would not comment until he has more Information on the budget. At the close of the all-day ses sion board members said it will urge some $1,028,000 be restored to the budget by the Finance Department on the basis that the increases do not constitute added or expanded services. This includes $330,000 for land purchases and building rehabili tation; $278,800 for added faculty social security costs: $224,314 for needed supplies and services to maintain the present service lev el. The major item on the priority list is $1,887,000 for increased academic salaries. Other priority ilems include $16,588 for increased resident physician and intern salaries at the Medical School; $35,821 for library bo oks; $!I2.28I) for in creased administrative and ser vice department staffs; and $10!l, 670 for teaching equipment.

Dr. D.W.E. Baird, Medical School dean, and Dr. Charles Hol m.m, hospital and clinics director, were quoted as saying the cuts if carried through would force a limit on the number, of patients, the closure of some hospital beds and curtail clinic admissions, Retired Pastor To Fill Pulpit The Rev.
