In The Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Back in Washington an auditing committee armed with ssiarp pen cils has been going over the army inventory and stockpile. It totals about 36 billion dollars, which isn t vest pocket change. The question as to how much of the stuff is worth its room was raised by the discovery that among it is a lot of equipment left over from the SPANISH WAR including a con siderable pile of harness for mules Before getting too cynical about the army, let's all look through our attics and closets and take a .h.ohUid look-see at what we find there. Let'him who is without sin cast the first stone. I think maybe 1 know bow most of ttiis rubbish came to be accu mulated. In the half century since the Spanish war every able-minded supply officer who has looked ttie tuff over has wanted to gel rid of it while the getting was good but has been deterred by the thought that sooner or later some investigating committee would jump down his neck for giving away government property. So ne has decided to play it safe. The moral: Investigating committees are all ritfit WHEN THEY ARE ALL RIGHT, but are all wrong when in the background of them is nothing more important to the nation's wrlfare than somebody desire to kick up a stink.

That the levy excess is a serious matter was apparent in answers delivered to serious questions. Supt. M. C. Delier admitted that millage on property in the district had increased by about 14 mills in the past two years. He said that the point is being reach ed where someother form of tax ation may be necessary to main tain proper educational facilities here. One of the citizen questioners Ralph Patterson, posed the most interesting question of the mgnt: "What's going to happen if the budget doesn't pass? He received this answer from School Director Harold Hoyt: "The kids will receive the brunt of any budget cuts that would have to be made." Hoyt said that it's possible that students mignt be put on double shifts, but that method hasn t worked out. Tests, he said, have shown that pupils in such situations move at the bottom of what he terroed "the learning scale." ' N. D. Johnson, school board chairman, pointed out that while 70 per cent of all property taxes in the county go for education. only IS per cent of expenditures on all municipal, country and school budgets are going for schools.

Elections At Conference By EDDY GILMORE GENEVA (l French Foreign Minister Georges Bidault told the 19-nation Korean conference Thurs day Korea must be reunited through United Nations-controlled elections. Speaking for the first time in the Korean discussion, Bidault said reunification should be guar anteed by an all-Korean commis sion in which both North and South Korea would be represented in pro portion to their population. Bidault called upon the North Koreans to show a sincere desire for the creation of a united, demo cratic and independent Korea. He said the United Nations is the most qualified organization to des ignate observers to watch the pro posed elections. Replying to Communist allega tions that the United Nations had become "accomplice of an aggres sor country," Bidault declared such a statement is neither truth ful nor provable. He added: "To accept this would be in ef fect to deny on our part the very principles of the international or ganization in which we have placed our hopes and in the service of which we have placed our forces."
