Two of the three increases are
due directly to expanding school
population, which is now crowding
1,700. One is the instruction sec
tion (teachers, supplies and text
books). This figure will come to
$301,850. If includes five new teach
ers. The other is auxiliary agen
cies (health services and supplies,
transportation and cafeteria). This
item comes to $76,375. Next year
will be the first for a school lunch
program in the district.
The last section to show an in
crease is fixed charges (insur
ance, rent and retirement). The in
crease comes as a result of insur

Outside the operating budget,
one major item has boosted the
overall budget. This Is the bond
retirement and interest charges.
This amount has leaped from $45,
000 this year to $104,700 next

Mrs. Paul Patterson Advises
Strong Local Control For
Meeting School Problems
The first lady of Oregon, who
also is a member of the Stale
Board of Education, Tuesday noon
advised local control to meet local
problems coming up in local com
munities. Mrs. Paul Patterson, wife of the
governor, said the state board oft

taken the opposite stand, saying
that solutions arrived at on a locil
level will better satisfy school pa
trons. The way to do it, she ssid, Is
through the election of school
boards which have an eye toward
efficiency is administration and
teaching. It might be noted that
she was talking of general con
ditions throughout the state.
The state board. Mrs. Patter

Unconfirmed
Reports Tell
Of Markings
The "Case of the Pitted Wind-
shields" apparently settled on the
ztr.seburg-Winston area today,
with reports of shattered and pock
ed automobile glass filtering in
through various sources.
Police could substantiate none
of the reports in fact, only state
police had a complaint. And it
turned out to be a windshield bit
by flying gravel.
But in Winston, Mrs. Betty John
stone said that nearly every car
in her neighborhood showed up
with marks, inoludine her own.
There were others.
Mrs. Johnstone said the marred
places on windshields ranged from
1-32 to V inch in diameter. It
appeared that the glass had been
bit hard by a shower of tiny pel
lets. The Preston Tucker family, own
ing three cars, found ail three
windshields pitted. Mrs. John
stone said it had been noticed that
automobiles which had been sit
ting idle longest were the ones
with the most Dock marks.
A Winchester man, Cecil Man
ey, said this morning that side
windows on his two-door sedan
cracked sometime Tuesday after
noon. He discovered cracks in the
door windows at about 8 p.m. Mrs.
Maney, he said, had driven 'the
car at noon and found nothing
wrong.
Maney said there appeared to
be tiny bubbles in the glass. The
windows stiU were cracking this

Dickenson Is
WASHINGTON 11 An ex-pris
oner-of-war said Wednesday Opi.
Edward S. Dickenson pushed a
sick POW down some stairs after
the ailing man had asked Dicken
son for food.
This incident was described by
Staff Sgt. John A. Davis of Ni
agara rails, N.Y., who stared at
Dickenson with unmasked hate
during his appearance in the wit
ness chair. It was the third day
of Dickenson's court, martial on
charges of collaborating with the
Chinese Communist while a POW
in Korea.
Davis said Dickenson. 21. and
from Cracker's Neck, Va., worked

taw mm trade oft enow tor tobac

At one point. Davis said he saw
a sick POW go up to Dickenson
"and ask for chow. Dickenson
said there wae no more. I, per
sonally, saw some chow in the
chow pot"
The witness said there was "a
little argument" and he saw Dick
enson push the man down three
stairs. "Tli man's legs were pa-
rained for a day," Davis said.
Guy Emery, counsel for the de
fense, drew from Davis a conces

ORECON WEDNESDAY,
Dulles Arrives
In Paris For
NATO Meeting
. By MAX HARRELSON
PARIS tn U.S. Secretary of
State Dulles arrived here Wednes
day to attend the meeting of Lie
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza
tion and to consult with western
Allies on strategy for the Geneva
conference.
He was greeted at the airport
by French Foreign Minister Geor
ges Btoauit wno will ne ms guest
at a private dinner Wednesday
evening when they will review the
Indochinese question and other
problems coming up at Geneva.
Dulles told newsmen Friday's
NATO meeting is of "special sig
nificance tor one of its purposes
is to take notice of the fact that
five years ago this month the
North Atlantic Treaty was signed.
That was an historic event.
"Id the past five years," Dulles
said, "we have made impressive
rogress in translating the sym
olic act of banding together In the
midst of a common danger into
the reality of an effective com
mon defuse. Of equal importance
is the habit of contnuance I could
truthfully say daily consultation
in the council of the North At
lantic Treaty Organization."
Dulles said Friday's meeting
would be a continuation of that
process of consultation. In such
fashion, he added, the 14 member
countries would be able to perfect
their understanding of each other's
problems,- . ,
"On this understanding," h e
said, "on a common purpose, , the
inure oi an ot us aepenas."
Dulles made no mention of the
talks he planned to have in Paris
on tne ueneva conference.
An . informed American source
here said earlier the United States
would stand by its decision to op
pose an expected Russian move
to turn tne Geneva meeting into a
"Big Five" conference with Red
China even if such opposition
Drone up tne conference.
Before leaving Washington last
night, Dulles implied this would
be his stand He reiterated Amer
ican participation at the Geneva
parley "does not imiply our dip
lomatle recognition of Red China.
The United States insists the Peip
ine regime is an invited partici
pant, not a big-power instigator of
the meeting starting April 28.
The American secretary said he
was going to the Geneva confer
ence to seek an "honorable peace
in Indochina and a free, united
Korea."
A meeting of the Big Three
Western foreign ministers has
been arranged for Thursday even
ing, shortly after the arrival of
