School Districts Reminded
Of Need of Submitting Their
Budgets by Feb. 1 Deadline
Attempt to Oust GOP
Committee Head Fails
(Continued From Page One)
All school district! In Douglas
County which do not submit
their budgets to the Rural School
Board by Feb. 1 will have their
budgets prepared for them. This
was the announcement of Super
intendent of Schools Kenneth
Barneburg In explaining the pro
cedure where the districts are
unable to submit a budget by the
deadline.
Under the law setting up the
Rural School Boards, all budgets
from district other than lirst
class are consolidated In an over
all rural school budget. If the
total amount exceeds the 6 per
cent limitation, then the school
voters must approve the addi
tional amount.
Barneburg explained also that
in cases where an individual dis
trict turns down a budget sub
mitted by its board, the matter
will be taken 'out of the hands
of the local people, and the
budget then prepared by the
Rural School Board. The Feb. 1
deadline, established by law, is
necessary, he said, In order that
all budgets may be consolidated
and an election held to vote on
the amount outside the 6 percent
limitation figure.
Voter Requirement Told
Barneburg also called attention
to the new school voters eligibili
ty law, which makes qualifica
tions as follows: Over 21 years of
age, citizen of the United States,
ability to read and write the Eng
lish language, resident of the dis
trict six months prior to the elec
tion, and be a registered voter.
However, he said the law pro
cedure was not set up In the bill,
and must be clarified by the State
Legislature. He referred specifi
cally to the "registered voter" re
quirement, where nothing spe
cific has been established as to
what constitutes a registered vot
er. Since voting precincts do not
necessarily correspond with
school districts, there is some con
fusion there. Also the bill does
not specify how long a voter must
have been registered. Some
boards have gone to the county
clerk and made copies of regis
tered volers in their areas. Barne
burg said he expects that the law
will be clarified by the present
legislature.

Originally known as the Presi
dent's ball, dances have been
sponsored in most communities
throughout the country on a date
corresponding to the lale Presi
dent Roosevelt's birthday.
To date, according to Roseburg
polio chairman Del McKay, the
campaign has been lagging, and
If the last period contributions
are not overwhelming the entire
county and city of Roseburg will
fall far short of their anticipated
goal. Workmen in industries can
not be contacted since many mills

Bill Evans, who has served as
chairman of the industrial can

ports from all the mills today.

The new list of appointive

come self-supporting despite an

No Confidence
In Public Polls,
Truman Says
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28. UP)
President Truman said yesterday
he did not have any confidence
in the public opinion polls even
those which show 69 per cent
of the people approve his ac
tions. He told a news conference he
makes his decisions on the basis
of what he considers right or
wrong and the polls have no ef
fect on these decisions.
A reporter told him that the
latest Gallup Poll indicates 69
per cent of the people now ap
prove his policies. The reporter
wanted to know If that had
changed the president's view as
to tne accuracy oi the polls.
Mr. Truman, who upset the
pollsters in his stunning Novem
ber election victory, replied that
he had no more confidence In
polls than he did during the
campaign or than he had ever
had.

Commercial Group Blamed
Criticism of the tentative pro
posal, which was based on studies
showing a scarcity of the spring
salmon run, was made on the
grounds that no reduction Is jus
tified until 1951, when compara
tive data will be obtainable on
the first return of the five-year
cycle of the 1946 migration. The
Umpqua River studies were start
ed in 1946.
Charges were hurled that the
state of depletion resulted from
commercial fishing and that
sports anglers should not be pe
nalized for destruction caused by
the commercial industry. De
mands were made that offshore
troll for salmon be discontinued
and that results on subsequent
fish migrations be observed l-e-fore
consideration is given fur
ther reduction in sports angling.
It was claimed that halting off
shore commercial troll at the
mouth of the river, would in
crease runs to the point that no
angling restrictions would be
found necessary.
The Club also instructed its
delegation to urge the Game Com
mission to con -struct salmon
hatching and rearing facilities at
the Rock Creek hatchery at the
earliest possible dale.

New Storm Slows Task
Of Saving Livestock
(Continued from Page One)
and Utah nearly half of them
In Utah.
More than 10,000 Navajo In
dians in an area 100 miles square
are threatened with the loss of
their livestock, Harold E. John
son, Indian service road engineer
at Winslow, said last night.
Johnson said more than 15,000
head of sheep are virtually help
less In snow measuring 57 Inches
In depth.
In addition some 1,000 horses,
the Indians' sole means of trans
portation in the remote north
west section of their vast reser
vation, are imperiled.
New snowstorms prevented
five air force planes from flying
into the worst stricken areas yes
terday. A caravan of eight trucks led
by a bulldozer started for Navajo
Mountain School Wednesday,
loaded with 18 tons of coal and
1,000 gallons of fuel oil. The
party traveled only about 50
miles in more than 24 hours and
at that point reported progress
was slowing through giant drifts.
Some 60 children are isolated at
the school.
Old-timers In that area fear the
results of the storm on the Nav
ajo economy. K. W. Richardson,
a trader, said that even if the
sheep survive the present emer
gency, the excessive snows may
bring devastating floods in the
spring. The early grazing lands
would then turn to mud, he said,
and the livestock would sicken,
dealing still another blow to the
struggling Indians.
