He was accompanied on the trip by his brother-in-law Floyd Mea'le, of Phoenix, Ariz- noons until 5 or 5:30 p. m, "This system is being follow ed in some districts, but would be temporary and could only serve until additional buildings are provided." He said that ad ditional teachers would be re- nuired for double shifts. No Tax Load Increase Elliott pointed out that the fi nancing of this bond issue will not incur a larger district Dron- erty tax for building purposes tnan nas Deen collected under the six mill serial levy the last five years. The bond Issue would make available building space needed immediately, while the method followed the last five years provides only sufficient funds annually to construct tem porary buildings. Only about one third of the amount needed an nually can be raised by a direct tax levy. Over a 20-year period, the bond Issue would require less millage than he direct tax method em ployed the last five years, he said. The bond issue specifically would finance construction of additions to the present Senior High, Fullerton, Riverside and Edenbower Schools, equip and furnish them, construct a central heating plant for Fullerton and the Senior High, construct a new building on Benson School grounds for an assembly hall and gymnasium, and provide ad ditional equipment and furnish ing lor Rose School. Russia Asks Dropping Of Dispute Over Berlin (Continued from Page One) Sir Hartley said. "One word from Russia: one little word 'stop' would enable these troubled countries to put their own houses in order and to build themselves up in Dem ocratic peace and security one little word and it does not come."

Permit the exchange of newspapers, magazines and radio broadcasts and university stu dents with other countries. 5. "Let our tourists in each others countries and become friends." Soviet delegate Jakob A. Malik, In an Immediate reply to Shaw cross accused him of obtaining his argument "from the arsenals of Trotsky, Hitler, Goering and Goebbels.

They could set up a f'crman cen tral government in the old capital which would appeal to all nation alist Germans. And most Ger mans are nationalists. The Soviets proceeded cautious ly. They were not sure the West ern powers would not Xight. And they did not want to risk a war. In March, they demanded the right to inspect American and British miliary trains on the charge the West was smuggling out war criminals and undesira bles of other types. . Then they refused to allow freight train to pass from Berlin to the West unless it had a Soviet-granted license. The trains returned empty. The next step was to delay and hamper incoming shipments by inspections. Then the Western powers put In currency reform in Western Germany to end inflation which was wrecking recovery plans. Air Power Trumps Soviet With the land routes closed the western powers resorted to the arm'that won them the war air power. Vast fleets of air transports mostly American roared over uernn. this time tney brought food, medicine and coal to more than 2,000,000 western Berllners. In the air the Russians are at the same disadvantage as the West was on the ground. They may commit the overt act which might bring war. On the ground the West would have to push its armed convoys across the Soviet border. In the air, the Russians must shoot a British or American plane down to slop it. There is no other way. Thus far the Russians have shown no inclination to shoot. But Berlin has become such an compromise. international issue it is believed' the Soviets would risk war in t he event force was tried.
