IT is just as well.
The controversial Case bill was

Vacancies in Teacher Sfaff
Of Roseburg Schools Sfress
Necessity for Higher Budget
Vacancies still exist in certain special fields on the Roseburg
school faculty, Superintendent of Schools Paul S. Elliott said today.
The vacancies will be hard to fill, because few qualified instructors
in Oregon, or in the Middlewest, are making application for positions.
In the Senior High School,
teachers are needed for counsel
ing guidance combined with his
tory or English, and for art. In
the Junior High School, instruc
tors are needed for physical edu
cation, choral and orchestral
music, and English and music.
General subject matter teach
ers in the lower grades in the
Junior Hiph are also needed.
Elliott said, however, he was "con
fident" these positions will be
filled in "reasonable time."
The elementary teaching staff
is intact with an increased num
ber of teachers and an increased
enrollment. Additional staff
members will not be added until
Monday's school election, which
will determine whether the addi
tional teachers can be added and
facilities can be made available
for extra rooms.
Budget Adoption Imperative
If the budget is not passed,
Elliott pointed out, the schools
will be crowded beyond capacity.

Pasteurization Plants
Slated for Inspection
SALEM, Ore.. June 13. ff)
The State Department of Agricul
ture today announced it would be
gin immediate inspection of all
pasteurization plants in Oregon
to determine compliance with
rules and regulations for pasteuri
zation of milk.
The department also announced
that in August it would begin to
hold a series of examinations for
licensing pasteurizer operators.
"Undoubtedly, a number of
teachers would resign, Elliott
warned, "because they would re
fuse to teach more DUDils than
would be possible to handle sat
isfactorily in good educational
procedure. An enrollment of 30
to a class is considered the maxi
mum for good teaching.
"The average class enrollment
in the elementary schools last
year was 31, almost 32, in first to
sixth grades. In the Junior High
School, the average was 29: In
the Senior High School, the aver
age was 22."
The average ape of teachers Is
Increasing, too, Elliott said. The
tchool district lost five teachers
25 or younger last year, and has
onlv one teacher In the same age
group as a replacement.
Rest of the teachers are closer
to 40 than 20. Their average age
last year was 40, and mav pos

said.

House Group
Shies at Feud
In High Court
WASHINGTON, June 13. UP)
The House Judiciary Committee
decided today it does not have
sufficient evidence to take any
action in the Supreme Court con
troversy involving Justices Robert
H. Jackson and Hugo L. Black.
Chairman Hatton W. Sumners
(D.-Tex.) told reporters at the
end of the closed meeting that
there is "no determination at the
moment to conduct an investiga
tion." Sumners said Jackson's criti
cism of Black, cabled to the com
mittee Monday from Nuernberg,
Germany, was discussed at length
but the consensus was that the
committee had no jurisdiction in
the matter.
'There may be something shap
ing up," he added, but said noth
ing received thus far indicates
committee jurisdiction.
Sumners explained that the
committee's action is limited to
studying or recommending legis
lation, and to matters dealing
with impeachment. But, he em
phasized that there was nothing
in the case to indicate the need
for impeachment proceedings.
The committee remains free to
take action or recommend action
later, the chairman said, if any
evidence should indicate the need.
Go-Slow Is Favored
Even before the meeting, Sumners-
was on record as favoring
a go-slow attitude. At that time,
he said the committee could take
one of three courses:
1. Recommend an investigation
into Jackson's complaint that
Justice Hugo Black employed
"bullying" tactics and threatened
him with "war" unless he
"covered up facts" In the portal-to-portaLjpinewage
ease last
year. . . j

posed to be raised bv taxation.
The budget is $92,000 higher
than last year, the increase being
required principally to meet ex

board has approved $18,000, in
round figures, to provide a cost-of-living
adtustment, amounting
to about $300 for each of the 65
presently employed teachers. An

Crane, a former Army airman,

Then, with the new two-seater

Mrs. Crane heard the plane and

State police raced to the Elgin

of the flyer.
A few minutes later, as the

Way Opened
For Hoist in
Cafe Prices
WASHINGTON, June 13. UP)
OPA opened the way today for
higher restaurant prices.
But in doing so, the agency
followed only In part a recom
mendation of the Senate Banking
Committee, which voted to wipe
out ceilings on meals made up
of foods on which there are no
price controls.
OPA Issued an order which
simply allows new menu prices
to reflect the full amount of any
higher costs stemming from the
removal of price ceilings on food
Items.
The order is effective imme
diately, but It will have little ef
fect on restaurant prices right
away. The reason is that not
many food items arc exempt from
price control at this time.
But OPA officials said the new
regulation means the cost of din
ing out probably will go up sharp
ly if ceilings are stripped from
meat, poultry, eggs and dairy
products. The Senate committee
has recommended removal of
these controls July 1. A decision
by the full Senate Is expected by
nightfall.

British Loan Gets
House Group O.K.
WASHINGTON, iune 13.-4P)
The House banking committee
today approved legislation ratify

The vote was 20 to 5.
The legislation, already approv
ed by the Senate 46 to 34, now
goes to the House floor, where
opponents promised a sizzling
oauie.
The committee vote came after
long hearings, during which the
administration told Congress the
loan is essential to take the
snackles off world trade, to en
courage international .economic
cooperation and to aid world
peace.
Without the loan, the propon
ents argued, Britain would be un
able to participate In the Bretton
Woods World Bank and currency
stabilization fund, and this am
bitious attempt at international
economic cooperation would fail.
This view was supported by the
American Bankers Association,

wording.
"There Is a dispute over the
wording of four or five things,"
Conway told reporters as signs
pointed generally to agreement
on major issues.
CIO President Philip Murray
spoke likewise: "Some Issues
need further clarification."
These developments followed
the statement by a government
conciliator that "there's a good

"When it's buttoned up, we'll
announce it," Gibson replied.
Still Hanging Fire
One of the union leaders, ask

told reporters:
'The government's proposal
has neither been accepted nor
