WEST LONG BRANCH, N. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
