J. (API Some 500 Monmouth Col lcee students reacted vigorously Monday' when informed by Presi dent Edward G. Schlaefcr that the college would conduct classes be tween Christmas and New Year's Day to stay abreast of the Rus sians in education. Singing "Come Down. Come Down From Your Ivory Tower." they quickly converged under his third-floor office, waving signs which read "Beat Russia." A straw effigy of Schlaefcr was pelted with stones and oranges, feathered, hung from a second story window, and burned. The burning straw mingled in the air with ballads such as "White Christmas" and "Jingle Bells." West Long Branch police stood silently by as Schlaefer finally came out on his balcony and said: "We must utilize all of our time and facilities in this national em ergency to keep up with the Rus sians." Schlaefer said later he planned no disciplinary action but also had no intention of changing the schedule. The cfligy-burning brought out former Monmouth College Presi dent t u g e n e ujaiiman, who mounted so"ie sleps and declared he was "glad to see the students of this college stirred up at last." He later told a newsman that "we cannot heat the Russians by using Russian methods. Bend Skier Said Better BEND. Ore. (AP) "AU the paralysis is gone."

Janelle Wilson News Reporter GOP Solon Drops Idea WASHINGTON (AP) One of the staunchest Republican advo cates of legislation to curb poli tical activity by labor unions has evidently abandoned the idea. Instead. Sen. Barry M. Ooldwa ter (R-Ariz) says business and la bor leaders should get together and agree voluntarily to limit their political efforts. Goldwater, who will be senior GOP member of the Senate Labor Committee, is one of the few con servative Republicans reelected in November. He disclosed his change in attitude alter a series of conferences with Secretary of Labor James r. Mitchell. Mitchell has been President Ei senhower's major spokesman on labor policy in the past. Goldwa ter, because of his committee post, is expected to handle admin istration labor bills in the Senate. Goldwater said he and Mitchell have decided there probably isn't much Congress can do about re stricting union political activities without running counter to the constitutional freedoms of speech and association. Mitchell confirmed that, saying he and Goldwater had come to the conclusion "it was impractical to recommend legislation to resolve this issue." Goldwater told a news confer ence he now is proposing that key labor and management leaders meet and try to agree on how far they can go with propriety in poli tical campaigning. If labor and business leaders agree to such a meeting, Gold waier said, the heads of the Re publican and Democratic commit tees could also be invited. He said he has sounded out President Ralph Cordiner of General Elec tric Co., and Arthur Goldberg, special counsel to the AFL-CIO. He did not describe their attitude. St. Lawrence River Ports Eye Year-Round Navigation MONTREAL, Que. (AP)-Dc:p- water ports flanking the St. Law rence River are excited about the prospects of year round naviga tion. The St. Lawrence Seaway will allow bulk cargo vessels of the Great Lakes to sail for the first time up the St. Lawrence River. Supplementing this, there is grow ing pressure from normally ice bound river ports for ail-winter shipping channels between the At lantic and Quebec City. Capt. R. G. Edwards of Cana dian International Paper Co. flew 2.000 miles from Montreal to New foundland on an aerial ice survey last winter. He reported: "Winter shipping into the gulf and into the bt. Lawrence ttiver itseii presents no problem providing adequate equipment is made available. More icebreakers, a continuing aerial ice survey and an ice lore casting service are considered keys to this year-round naviga tion. Winter navigation as far up stream as Montreal is unlikely. Lake St. Peter below Montreal is easily jammed with ice by east winds. Last winter the schooner D'Vora sailed the St. Lawrence north shore to Baie Comeau, Que. Ships Navy Unveils New Airplane MOFFETT NAVAL AIR STA TION, Calif. (UPI) -An experi-l mental transport plane, with a revolutionary tilt wing for verti cal takcoffs and landings, was un veiled Monday by Hillcr Aircraft Corporation. The 16' j ton, twin-engine craft, designated the X-18 "Propcllo- plane by the Air Force, is sched uled for its first flight in April, 1959. The X-18 combines the vertical ascending, descending and hover ing characteristics of a helicopter with the inflight capabilities of a conventional aircraft, according to a spokesman for Hiller. The Palo Alto, Cam., firm is primarily a helicopter manufacturer. The transport utilizes the Alli son turboprop engines developing a total equivalent of 11,070 shaft horsepower with counterrotating blades and a Westinghouse turbo jet in the after portion of the fuselage. Hiller engineers demonstrated the revolutionary wing, which tilts from conventional position to nearly 90 degrees. With the wing in the maximum position, the air craft will rise vertically with full load. General specifications: wingspan 48 feet 160 feet with extensions).

Girl Denies Stabbinq Tot TILLAMOOK (AP) A woman Monday testified that she never stabbed the new-born child she is accused of killing. Miss Lelani Batke, 21, Tilla mook, said that she gave birth to the child, but believed the boy was born dead. Earlier, pathologists had said the child, had been stabbed 17 times. But Miss Batke denied stabbing the baby. She said she was alone in her home here when she gave birth to the child. She said she thought the child was dead because it was not breathing. The body was kept in a closet for one day, she said, and then wrapped in a blanket and hidden in shrubbery at her home several days. Miss Batke said she could not bring herself to bury the body, and finally left the box in the heart of downtown Tillamook so someone could find it. Two psychiatrists also testified Monday, and both said Miss Batke would be incapable of knowing rislit from wrong if placed under great emotional strain. called all winter at Dalhousie,. faces a promising future.

Shippers suggest that the lakers may pick up Western wheat, sail through the seven locks and four canals of the seaway to Montreal or other St. Lawrence ports to unload. Then they would pick up a return cargo of iron ore at Que bec production points and carry it to Cleveland and other Great Lake steel mill centers. Contrecoeur, a village on the St Lawrence within sight of Montreal, Bank Debits Hike Noted October bank debits for the Klamath Falls area, including Klamath and Lake counties. showed a 15.8 per cent increase over September, and a 16.6 per cent increase over October, 1957, in figures compiled by the Uni versity of Oregon Bureau of Busi ness Research. Bank debits are generally re garded as good indicators of cur rent ousiness activity. Their value for this purpose, however, may be impaired by the inclusion of some large checks used in purchasing types of capital assets which are not considered "business activity." In the Klamath Falls area, five banks and branches reported total October debits of $44,675,361 com pared to $38.57J,326 for September, and $38,317,144 for October, 1957. For the state of Oregon, with 167 banks and branches reporting, the October debits were up 10.7 per cent from September and 12.8 per cent from October of last year. Only one area in the state, southwestern Oregon, recorded a decline over September of this year, and that was a two per cent drop in Curry, Jackson and Josephine counties. shipment docks will move iron ore to lake bound ships or freight cars heading to the United States. The area between Montreal and Con trecoeur hopes to see new indus tries established as the seaway prods progress. HEMSTITCHING 10c A YARD Art Nrrdlework Shop 1403 Main IN FINE WHISKEY Fleischmann's is the gift to buu... kfc f Red Shoppers Issue Gripe BUDAPEST (AP) Shoppers in Communist Hungary are com plaining they can't find bed sheets in all the colors they want. The nature of the complaint points up the increased quantity of consumer goods made available since the 1956 revolt against Rus sia. A few years ago, Hungarian housewives were happy when they could find any sheets for sale. Problems of this kind arc handled by the Ministry of Light Industry, headed by Mrs. Jozcf Nagy. Apparently she has given orders to do something, because the ministry has gone in for the capitalist idea of consumer re search. Officials have been visiting government owned shops and in terviewing customers about their likes and dislikes. Sheets are generally available in white and pink, with an oc casional unattractive blue or blue and while stripes. The officials news agency MTI, reporting on the ministry's con sumer research, taid nothing about prices, which are high in terms of wages. A skilled work man has to put out a whole month's salary for a good suit.
