In The-
Day's lews
By FRANK JENKINS
In Washington the other day,
the lady Senator from Oregon
told the reporters she thinks
the lady Senator from Maine is
fine Presidential timber.
Our Maurine, who is a Demo
crat, didn't go so far as lo say
she would VOTE for Senator
Margaret Chase Smith, who is
a Republican, but she did say
she thinks the only other fe
male Senator should "take a
fling" at going after the Presi
dential nomination.
She added:
"A female President is IN
EVITABLE some time, and I
can't think of a better person
to pioneer than Margaret Chase
Smith. She has a long record of
legislative experience. She is
an able member of the Senate,
and she was an able member
of the House before she was
elected to the Senate."
A woman Chief Executive?
It's admittedly a new idea in
our country. But it isn't a new
idea in the world especially in
the English-speaking world.
In the six and a half cen
turies from the Norman con
quest in lOtft until the union
with Scotland in 1707, England
had 32 rulers. From the Scot
tish Union until now, there
have been 11 rulers of Great
Britain a total of 43. including
Elizabeth II, the present queen.
Of these rulers, five Mary,
Elizabeth I. Anne, Victoria and
Elizabeth II have been wom
en. Many historians regard
Victoria as perhaps England's
GREATEST ruler.
Elizabeth I also ranks pretty
high in the list of England's
great rulers.
Russia's history is not too
clear and plain, but three cm
presses appear in it two Cath
erines and an Elizabeth.
Catherine I was the wife of
Peter the Great, who more or
less put Russia together in
the first place. After Peter's
.'oath, she became Empress of
)u s s i a. Her parents were
PEASANTS. They died when
she was three years old. She
married a dragoon, and when
he died Peter took her to wife.
When he died she became cm
press. One of their two daugh
ters. Elizabeth, later was em
press. And there w as Catherine
the Great. She was a German
princess. She married Peter, a
nephew of Elizabeth II, who
later became Peter III. When
he died, she became Empress
of Russia. She was one of the
Russian greats.
So-
Ynu see
Women rulers have been no
novelty in the world.
Maybe the idea of a woman
President isn't so bizarre, after
all.
And-
Thcre's Representative Beu
lah Hand, who pulled the Ore

the other day by explaining to
its members how they could

He half remcmhprcd that the

wasn't sure. He recalled that

thought they must be some

Barghoorn said he was hand

Soviet officials confronted him
with the papers and said they
contained "military secrets."

The compromise that was fi

If additional funds become

In effect, the plan wipes out

Education
Confidence
SALEM (UPI I - Higher edu
cation, accused of handling some
of its money loosely, won a 10-1
vole of confidence Tuesday from
the House Tax Committee.
The vote came on a resolution
that would have directed the
State Board of Higher Education
to change its mind and freeze
tuitions and entrance require
ments at their present level.
'he committee killed the Son-
atc-issed resolution.
Tlie vote came after Secretary
of State Howell Appling Jr. ac

lor It. E. Licuallen defended It.
Tlie implications of tlie hear
ing, and tlie vote, were broader
than the scope of the resolution
that brought the matter to a
head.
Pearson Sought Resolution
The resolution, sponsored by
Sen. Walter Pearson, D-Port-
land. an outspoken critic of
higher education, would have
frozen tuition fees and admis
sion standards at their present
levels for the rest of the bien-
nium ending in mid-1065.
The board has planned to

instead of increasing tuition or
turning away some students.

iPearson Is representative of a
group of legislators who have
repeatedly bemoaned the relative
independence of higher educa
tion from legislative controls.
At Pearson's suggestion, tho
commilteo called Appling,
whose office has been auditing
higher education's fiscal prac
tices for about 10 months.
Appling said tlie system lias
handled some of its money,
casually, and even improperly.
Appling's criticism, however,
focused on tlie areas of re
search, construction bond fund
ing, and (lie charging of costs
to various funds in tlie system.
He failed to find any fault with
the bulk of spending which
takes place in the general col
lego system.
Licuallen refuted most of Ap

agreed that general accounting
procedures need modernizing.
