New Military Pay Raise BiH
WASHINGTON, June 13 UP)
The House Armed Services Com
mittee has voted 26 to 1 lo take
another crack at a military pay
raise bill through Congress.
It approved a measure which
would cost about $100,000,000 less
than the one that failed to pass
last month.
The lone objector was Rep.
Norblad (R.-Ode.). A World War
Two Air Force officer, Norblad
was the only committee member
who voted against the first pay
bill when the House sent It back
to the . Committee for further
study.
Norblad asked whether the
Oregon School Children Smarter
Than National Average, Assertion
SALEM, June 13. (P) Oregon
school children are smarter than
the national average of school
children.
D. A. Emerson, assistant super
intendent of public instruction,
told a meeting of county school
superintendents here that some
counties have trouble using the
nationwide intelligence tests be
cause the Oregon kids are so
smart.
Slate Police Capt. Walter Lan
sing, who is asisgned to traffic
satety work In the State De
partment, said the new law nro-
viding for school bus inspections
will not wreck the school bus
system.
"We are drafting reasonable re
gulations to.insure safe operation
of the school buses." Lansing
said. But we don't Intend to rule
out any bus unless we find it
unsafe for operation.
He said buses bought In the
past year have been manufactur
ed to conform with the new regu
lations, which will become effect
ive June 16.
Lansing said several Inspectors
would begin work Julv 16. and he
hopes that inspections can be
completed ny tne time school
opens next fall.
Sen. Paul L. Patterson, Hills
boro, said the states would be
careful lest proposed federal
school aid brings about federal
control of schools.
"I am not necessarily opposed
to federal aid for schools," Pat
terson said, "but care should be
exercised to guarantee that the
federal government will not at
tempt to dictate how our schools
should be operated."
