What is a geographical center? It's just what it says. It's the center ot a given geographical area. It is estaBlished by a com plicated system of mathematical measurements and computations. What does it mean to the town nearest to this pin point? Not much. It is supposed to have some tourist possibilities, but I doubt it. How far out of your way would you go Just to see a pin point that is the geographical center of the U.S.? Not very far, I'd guess. r But- This IS significant: Ever since it was established, he eeoeranhical center of the Unit ed States has been moving steadi ly WESTWARD. Nearly 300 years ago George Berkeley, an English churchman, Bishop ot uoyne, coined the magic phrase: "West ward the course of empire takes its wav." About a century later, John Quincy Adams plagiarized Bishop Berkeley to this extent: "Westward the STAR of empire takes its way. KeeD your eye on the West. Great things are in store for the WEST. Speaking of the West, my colleague of the Medford Mail- Tribune, Eric Allen, takes a crack at our mythical State of Jefferson otherwise classified, he says, "as a State of Mind." He adds: . "As for this newest "state" pro- oosal. it is a nebulous altair, de signed, apparently, as a rallying point for those who oppose what are feared as encroachments on independence in thought and ac tion of 'big government,' whether it be at the state or national lev el "Go your ways, good people of the State of Jefferson. We choose to exert our independence by ac knowledging that No Man Is an Island nor is a state, even a state of mind. .. Tut!" Tut! Eric. If Plato, 20-odd centuries ago, could dream of the perfect state, why can't we here in Southern Ore gon and Far Northern California dream of the perfect state? Id the greatest of his dialogues, The Republic, Plato outlined his plans for an ideal state. He be lieved that the purpose of the state is to train its citizens to be upright and virtuous so that 'they may be truly happy. He knew this ideal state could never be formed in an imperfect world, but he held it up as a goal toward wnicn peo ple should work. And- His thinking has made an im mense impression throughout all the 20-odd centuries mat nave lot lowed him. ': If Plato could dream of a State of Mind, why can't WE dream of a State of Mind? If man can't DREAM of perfec tion, how can man ACHIEVE per fection? ANOTHER LETTER COMING PRINCETOWN, England (UPI) Council Clerk Reginald Alp re ceived a letter Tuesday which lacked sixpence postage. He paid it. Inside the envelope was a six penny stamp and a note from the writer apologizing for forgetting to put postage on an earlier let Rayburn To Request Vote On 52 Billion WASHINGTON f AP) - Speaker Sam Rayburn (D-Tex) said today he intends to get a House vote on a $2,100,000,000 housing bill now resting in a Rules Committee pigeon hole. The bill calls for heavier hous ing spending than President Ei senhower recommended, and a coalition of Republicans and Southern Democrats has kept the measure bottled up in the Rules Committee. The committee is in charge of steering legislation to the House 'for action. Democratic leaders regard housing as an issue on which they might well win a test with Eisen hower and are eager to get the bill to a vote. Rayburn told a news conference the leadership wants "to follow the usual course without bypass ing the committee on rules." ,"We are willing to wait a rea sonable time," he went on, but added that if necessary there are at least three ways in which the House could get the legislation up for action despite the. attitude of the Rules Committee. Asked what he considered a reasonable time, Rayburn said, "pretty soon." The three parliamentary de vices he mentioned are: 1. A discharge petition, which would require the signatures of a Industrial Building Falls Trapping 20 WESTBURY, N.Y. (AP) - A large industrial building being erected by scores of workers col lapsed with an ear-shattering roar shortly before 11 a.m. today. At least one man was killed, a num ber injured and an estimated 20 trapped in the wreckage. Hundreds ' of rescue workers rushed to the scene and tore at the mounds of twisted steel gird ers and splintered planking with bare hands in an effort to free trapped laborers. For a time shrieks and cries arose from the heap of rubble, lying on the floor of the one-story building. Giant cranes also were sped to the site to hoist heavier segments and permit rescue teams to crawl underneath. Ambulances roared away at frequent intervals with injured. Eight or more were known to be in hospitals. -I ; ; Decline Seen j Of Epidemic PORTLAND (API Respiratory ailments ' are on the decline - in Oregon, but the state Board of Health said Wednesday there is no guarantee that the epidemic will not flare up again. Last week 4,909 new cases were reported in the state. The state health officer, Dr. Harold M. Erickson, said this was a drop of 10 per. cent from the previous week. He added, however, that the sit uation is not particularly encour aging in view of widespread epi demics in surrounding states and a continuing rise in five Oregon Dorder counties. Reporting a high incidence of respiratory diseases last week were Jackson County 674 cases, Klamath 627, Lane 561, Marion 219, Crook and Douglas 179 each, Josephine 169, Umatilla 125, Wash ington 115, Baker 100, Wallowa 88, Curry 84 and Portland 142. Crowd Gassed in Florida TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) Law enforcement officers fired tear gas shells today to disperse a crowd which gathered in the heart of Tallahassee s Negro sec tion after a Negro moonshine sus pect was shot by a Negro police man. . The policeman, Freddy Golden, said he shot Walter Oliver Jr., when Oliver drew a gun on him after he arrested him with four gallons of moonshine whisky. A large number of Negroes poured out of houses and stores adjacent to the area of the shoot ing to see what had happened. City police, who have been on emergency alert since the mass rape of a Negro coed by four white men early last Saturday, put out a call to other law en forcement agencies. An estimated 50 highway patrol men, sheriff's deputies and city officers rushed to the scene. Sgt. H. L. Coleman said that the crowd dispersed with the firing of four tear gas shells. Oliver was charged with possess ing illegal whisky, resisting ar rest and assaulting an officer. He was reported in fair condition with a bullet wound through the temple. Coleman said the arrest was made about 10 p.m., but the scene was not cleared until about 2 a.m. House Bill majority of the members of the House to take the bill away from tne committee. 2. A resolution declaring that the bill is in order for considera tion. Such a resolution, Rayburn said, could be adopted on one of the days when the House normal ly suspends its rules to pass non- controversial legislation. 3. Use of the rarely employed calendar Wednesday proce dure, under . which committee chairmen may call up Alls which have been approved by their com mittees. The bill has been approved by the Banking Committee, headed by Rep. Brent Spence D-Ky, and went irom this group to the Rules Committee. On "calendar Wednesday" Spence could m to take the bill up. Eisenhower asked Congress for housing . legislation estimated to cost about $1,600,000,000. Democrats on the Banking Com mittee not only boosted his figure but put in an authorization for 140.000 units of low rent public housing. Eisenhower had not asked any subsidized public housing. ' Republicans contend that even tual cost of the Democratic bill would be $5,800,000,000 rather than the $2,100,000,000 tag the Democrats have put on iL In Wreckage The building was under con struction at the Westbury Indus trial Park about 30 miles east of New York City on Long Island The steel framework had been erected and roofing and brick nnisning worn were unoer way.iihe town of Tennant by the Or- The structure, 200 feet long and 150 feet wide, was to house an electronics firm. A steel girder in the roof was believed to have given way, caus ing the avalanche of steel and wood to cascade downward. As many as 100 workmen were believed to have been on the job, some on the roof. When the crash came with little or no warning, there was a wild scramble for life. Some escaped. One group of 15 men had left the building an instant before the col lapse. - Al Long of Ishp Terrace, at work on a nearby building, gave this description: Alt I saw was men running out from under the thing as iL fell. Some made it but most didn't. The entire roof just fell over." Another witness. Verge Abba- tiello -of Westbury, also standing nearby, said: I heard a tremendous roar and turned around. There was thick smoke rising up like a bomb. I heard a guy scream." There was no fire and Abbatiel- lo apparently mistook dust for smoke. Great crowds of spectators watched rescue efforts, pressing against police lines set up around the wrecked building. Another eyewitness. Rudy Gumb. employed on work nearby. said he had stepped outside his own project for a cigarette when he heard a roaring, crunching noise. He said the steel frameworkihnnsht w. . rinino ,wi crashed with a sideways motion and huge billows of dust ballooned up. Gumb said he and another man. whom he didn't know, ran to the wreckage and began pulling men out of it. They rescued four, he said, but did not know how badly they were injured. Bob Bove, an electrical engi neer, glanced out of a window of another building and saw the col lapse. He raced over and freed a man vwhosfc- .arnLjvasv.aimost severed, ne said. The one known victim was said to be the foreman of a steamfit- ting crew. His name was not im mediately learned. Two hours after the collapse, authorities still were trying to as certain how many men had been present and how many had been accounted for. ' The Westbury area once was a center for the elite of the nation's society, with large luxurious homes and estates. Many of these still remain, despite large home developments of a more modest nature. With the population growth many shopping and industrial centers have been built. Others are under construction. Westbury also was once the cen ter of the country's polo playing fraternity. Many famous matches of the past were staged in the vicinity. Teen Rites Alarm PTA DALLAS, Tex. (UPI) - The Dallas Parent-Teachers Associa tion Council, alarmed over an in crease in teen-age marriages and pregnancies among Dallas school children, voted Wednesday to ask that separate schools be set up tor married students. The PTA acted after a survey disclosed a sharp increase in the number of school marriages and turned up one 12-year-old and two 13-year-old married students. The report also said 144 girls have been dropped from school because of pregnancy. Officials reported 480 marriages this year compared with 286 in 1957 up 41 per cent. The figure is about 2 per cent of the total high school enrollment. Superintendent of Schools W. T. White released the information af ter the council asked for a sur vey. He made no recommenda tions, but said he was "rather surprised at the increase. Mail Clerks Find Grenade WASHINGTON (UPI) A live hand grenade wrapped in an old New York City newspaper was found by startled clerks today as they sorted mail from incoming trains at the main post office. A clerk picked It off the con veyor belt and placed it on a desk in i well isolated spot until an Army demolition expert arrived and carted it away. Postal inspectors were mystified and Postmaster Carlton Beall said it would be "quite a problem try ing to find out" where the grenade came from. He said it was dumped out of a sack containing parcel post packages, but there were no bro ken packages in the sack that it could have coma out of. VFW Official Promises Row On Town Sale YREKA (UPI) A local official of the Veterans of Foreign Wars promised today to "raise a big row" over the nroDosed sale of gamzation's national committee. W.D. Houston, past 20th District commander of the VFW, said the International Paper Company had given the town to the veterans organization with the idea that it would become a war pensioner's community. The town' lies at the foot of Mt Shasta and contains 100 homes and other buildings including a school, store, library and church. It was given to the vr w in November, 1957. Houston said the sale was an attempt "to cut a big fat hog. He promised to "raise a big row" at the next national convention of the VFW. providing the town was sold. But Byron Gentry, Pasadena City prosecutor and legal repre sentative for the VFW's 17th Dis- trice including California, Oregon and Nevada said plans for the pensioners' community failed to materialize because of costs. He added that the town had wa ter problems and suffered sever winters. Development of the community had been turned over to the na tional VFW, though the project was primarily for veterans from Northern California counties. John Mantle, general manager of International Paper's Weed di vision, said the firm didn t put any strings" on the gift of the town when it was turned over to the VFW, "We were under the impression Ithev wnillH lisp it " h sairt "Wo thing. We could have dismantled it and realized something. i gentry said that at one point the town was practically sold to Beverly Hills promoter, but dis agreement on some details ended negotiations. There also has been talk of us ing the town for a youth camp sponsored by five Northern Cali fornia counties, but nothing has come oi me iaoa. - Herter Plans Talk Tonight WASHINGTON UP) - Secre tary of State Christian A.

Boose- veit 10 days after Pearl Harbor and seven days after the boy's father, Capt, Colin P. Kelly Jr., was killed on a Pacific bombing mission. But Corky chose to do it the hard way by competitive ex amination. For winning the coveted appoint ment in this manner President Eisenhower, in a ' congratulatory letter, praised him highly, adding that a splendid career of service to his country seemed in prospect At the time his father was killed, Corky Colin III was less than 2 years old. In the letter, President Roose velt asked whomever might be in the White House in 1956, he con sider the boy for appointment to the academy. Roosevelt spoke of the boy as "a young American of goodly heritage. The letter went to the national archives for safekeeping until 1956. Chief Plans Academy Visit WASHINGTON .(AP)-Prcsident Eisenhower plans to visit the Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs, Colo., some time before June 4.- Announcing this today, the White House said Eisenhower had hoped to be there June 4 for graduation of the first class, but that pressure of his schedule had ruled it out. Press secretary James C. Hag- erty said no specific date has been picked yet. Hagerty was asked whether the President might combine the visit with a weekend stay in Denver, the home of Mrs. Eisenhower's ailing mother, Mrs. John S. Doud. He might, but I lust don t know," Hagerty said. Hagerty provided no elabora tion as to the nature of official business which caused Elsenhow er to change his mind about at tending the commencement exer cises.

Bomber Flies 9,000 Miles; No Refueling WASHINGTON (UPI)-A B-52G jet bomber, newest H-bomb and missile carrier of the Strategic Air Command, has made a rec ord non-stop flight of more than 9,000 miles without refueling. The spectacular performance look place last Dec. 15, but was disclosed only today. It is the longest flight known to have been made by a jet bomber without refueling. " Criss-crossing the United Slates at 500 miles an hour for 18 hours, the new giant of the skies gave a striking demonstration of its potential as an "airborne alert" aircraft. The Strategic Air Command SAC) will nut a portion of its bomber fleet on constant air borne alert in the future to guar antee its retaliatory power against destruction 'on the ground by Russian missiles in event of war. Armed wilh both H-bombs and Hound-dog guided missiles the B-52G's will patrol in continuous readiness to counter-attack should war break out. A true intercontinental jet. able o reach any Russian target from North America, the B-52G proved its range without aerial refueling to be about 3,000 miles greater than that of its predecessor B-52. Its top speed is more than 615 miles an hour lust below the speed of sound at the 10-mile al titude where it operates. The Dec. 15 mission, flown bv a Boeing airplane company crew wiin two Air f orce officers aboard, was notable in another regard. It showed the jet bomber now is the equal in range of the old, slow and recently retired B-36 piston-engine bomber and far more lethal by reason of speed and weapons carried. the B-52U, taking off at a rec ord weight of about 240 tons, new a . course from Wichita Kansas, over Texas.

He said current talks with Teamsters officials are concerned only with means of strengthening a long standing mutual aid pact between the two unions. He added that only a convention could authorize a merger with the Teamsters "and we have none contemplated or scheduled until 1962." House OKs Compromise Lopping Earlier Hikes SALEM (AP) The Oregon Leg islature ended its 116-day session early today in at atmosphere ot bitterness caused by a dispute over salaries of state officials and employes. In the final hour of the session, I he House angrily accepted a com promise in the slate salaries which lopped $1,257,098 from the earlier increases. The session tied 1955 as the sec ond longest session in the state's 100-year history, and was only 12 days shorter than the record 128 day session two years ago. It ended with the House reluc tantly going along with the Senate in cuts in the recommendations of the Joint Ways and Means Com mittee for salary increases. Before adjourning at 12:14 a.m., the 59th Legislature: Trimmed the fund for salary In creases for state workers by $750,- 000, leaving $2,500,000 for this purpose. But the Senate had first voted to reduce this amount to $1,500,000. Reduced the three-million-dollar higher education faculty pay in crease by $507,000 to provide a 10 per cent increase over tne men- nium. instead of the previous 11 ncr cent boost that had been ap proved by both nouses. Gave the governor an increase his expense allowance from $400 a month to $600. His base salary of $17,500 a year is un changed. Left all state officials and judges at their present salary levels, ex cept for increases granted to the SALEM (AP) Even House Speaker Robert B. Duncan got tired tn the closing hoort of the Legislature. During a roundup of House members, he meant to say; "The doorkeepers shall bar the doors." Instead, he said:' "The barkeepers shall door the bars." The Taxation Committee, which drafted the resolution for final adjournment, put "1957" Instead ot "1959" In the reso lution. The House didn't notice the wrong date when It f read, but a reporter caaght (t). error. stale health officer, state Agricul ture director and hospital super intendents. With the salary action, the gen eral fund budget for the 1959-61 biennium is 112.200,000. compared wilh 280 millions in the current biennium. The tax program including a 9 per cent hike in income taxes will provide slightly more than that amount. The battle over the wages came only a day after the Legislature had settled us income tax dis pute which had split the two Dem ocratic-controlled houses. House members Wednesday night said they had no alternative but to go along with the Senate cuts. They were angered because of what they called the Senate hasty action. Rep. Keith Skclton (D-Eugene). chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, said the Senate move was ill-considered. But some senators criticized the committee for bringing up the sal ary question so near the end of the session. In its last day, the House com pleted legislative action on bills to abolish the office of county coroner and turn his duties over to county health officers. It does not appljt t.o Multnomah County.

There's a cigar clinched in the Britisher's teeth and he's wearing a cowboy hat. Picture Eisenhower driving the small cart and lt sagging a bit to the right under the Chur chillian bulk as they whip over the gravel roads. That was the picture Wednesday afternoon as the 84-year-old for mer prime minister of Britain and his host toured the Eisenhower acres at Gettysburg, Pa., under a blazing hot sun. Later they switched to a Marine Corns helicopter for an aerial in spection of the historic Gettysburg battlefield where in 1863 Union and Confederate forces engaged in one of the classic conflicts of all time. The Eisenhower estate is at the edge of the battle site. It was by helicopter that the President and Sir Winston trav eled to the farm from the White House lawn and the British visi tor. who had made one earlier whirlybird flight, obviously en joyed the trip. Churchill clutched his gold- tipped cane as he eased into the golf buggy alongside his cnaut four, the smiling President. The first stop was a big cattle barn. There Eisenhower proudly arshlps, and prohibit discrimina tion because of age by employers of six or more workers. The House also completed ac tion on a bill to make merchan dise in transit through the state ax-exempt. Another bill sent to the governor would give the pub lic utilities commissioner the right tn investigate truck companies the same right he now has for railroads and utilities. The Legislature adjourned with out overriding any of Gov. Marie Hatfield s nine vetoes. The Senate voted to override vetoes of bills to require officials to resign by Dec. 31 if elected to other offices, and to require that resignations from public office be in writing. But the House sustain ed the vetoes in parly-line votes. The higher education faculty members will get five per cent salary increases next year, and an additional five per cent the following year. Missile Set For Combat CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (UPI) A hand-tooled Army Jupiter made a successful 1.500 mile test hop Wednesday- night and convinced its makers that the intermediate range missile is fi nally ready for combat duty. The Jupiter, painstakingly de veloped by German and American scientists over a period of three and a half years, will be assigned to Air Force rather than Army troops. The Pentagon has restrict ed the Army to use of missiles with ranges of 500 miles or less. . The Army announced after the firing that the Jupiter "has at tained an unusual degree of relia bility and accuracy and is ready tor operational use." ' This did not mean the weapon could be fired now at an enemy. But the Army said the weapon ta "nearing deployment by the Air Force."

Atty. Gen. William P. Rogers announced the action at the Whit House after a conference with President Eisenhower. This was a plain implication that the full weight of the administration was behind the move. The FCC decision was made in the case of L. Daly, who recent ly was an unsuccessful candidate for mayor of Chicago. Daly protested that radio and TV stations were giving his op ponents more time on news pro grams, and appealed for a ruling that he get equal time. The FCC ordered that he be given equal access ta broadcast ing time.

"They are mack Angus, an o: them," the President told his guest. "They're Scotch cattle. We, also have some nurse cows. These Black Angus don't give enough milk." ' Back at the President s big white brick and gray ficldstom house, Churchill got a breathtak ing view of the rolling Allegheny mountains in the distance as he and Eisenhower paused at the front door. . Inside, Churchill rested in a comfortable chair on the glassed- in sun porch and chatted with his host about the Battle of Gettys burg. A presidential aide reported that Britain s grand old warrior was just about as familiar with the general strategy and the fine points as Eisenhower is. During the helicopter tour a the battlefield, the two World Wat II comrades studied map of th area and Its famed landmarks- the path of Pickett's Ill-fate charge, Seminary Ridge, LittU Round Top, Big Round Top.
