2 The Newi-Rtview, Roicburg, Ore Wtd., Mor. 21, 1956 Citizens, Budget Members Voice Opinions Regarding Education. Other Matters Citizens and ichool budget board members had lots to say about budgets, education, policiei and even more irrelevant matters Tuesday night in Roseburg. The District 4 budget board met to take some action on the 1958-57 pro posed budget, defeated by voters March . They moved to recommend re submission of it fsee other story), but not before a host of men and women threw, in comments. How diri Ihe budget members feel about their budget? Those nresent screed it was well trim med, then offered some other Ihougms: Mrs. Mary Roberts: "We work ed hard to get a budget to meet needs." Robert Bashford: "Apparently the people who were interested in the budget voted no. I feel the board is onen to suggestions. Wayne Crooch: "If we could get half of the registered voters to turn out and it tne midget were then defeated, I would feel it was a representative vote; then I feel we should work to cut it." A. G. McLain: "I feel there was conscientious work on the budget and that it fits the needs of the dislrlct. The vole was light and the remarks and criticisms I've heard are minor. , .$500 or less." Walter Dage: I disagree with brother Bashford that the light vole indicalca interest. I'm better satisfied that a smaller vote gets only dissenters out. . .I've found this in other organizations. I'm Kresently opposed to cutting the udgct until it has been resubmit ted as is. The responsibility to get voters nut is on each of us." Ray Dotrner: "Apparently In the last two years wo haven't heal ed any sores in understanding the budget. I feel the defeat is a lack of confidence." Dorncr suggested a plan of ac tion: , Eisenhower Hints At Veto Of Farm Support Bill (Continued From Page One) legilsation moved to the front as a factor in the major parties' cam paigns for the rural vote in the November election. Thus far, the timing would ap pear to favor the Democrats. Ana there appear to be no signs of a speedup which, some GOP strate gists think, might help the Republicans. Republicans are pinning their hopes for farmers' votes largely on benefits they say would accrue through a soil bank plan. This contemplates that payments up to $1,200,000,000 would bo made this summer to farmers for taking un needed crop land out of produc tion and putting it to soil conser vation uses. Democrats, on tho other hand. are pinning their hopes largely on larmer dissatisiacnon witn price and income declines under t h e Kisenhower administration and with party promises of higher price supports. The administration's soil bank filan will provide little help to armors this year unless it can he set up before planting time. Farm ers in the South already are plant ing their crops and seeding will get into full swing in other parts of the country next month. The Agriculture Department has said that if tho soil bank plan is not enacted before April 15, it would be virtually impossible to set it up this year. The Senate approved tho soil bank in a many-faceted farm bill which it passed Monday night. Nut (hat bill must he compromised wilh a vastly different measure passed by tho House last year a thorny and probably lengthy procedure. Adult Education Classes Start Sessions Tonight Adult education classes in tailor ing in the home, bookkeeping, prac tical nursing and advanced weld ing start tonight, according to AE Director Richard Ross. Itrgistralinn may be made at the class or by calling OR 3-M.S2. Classes start at 7 p.m. tonight, Boss said.

Before any of the three he pro posed: (1) Evaluation of what the dis trict is doing that is required; (21 Evaluation of what is not required that is being done; and (3) Taking the proposed cuts from the list not required, "enough to satisfy voters." Doerner believes the evaluation should be prepared by Supt. M. C. Deller. He said he thought the defeat came because of several reasons: The light vote; a public hearing set too late for voter par ticipation; too large an increase in that the budget was not equitably cut the last two years; too large a bond issue; too much discussion of the school budget in the class rooms "which should be correct ed." The vice chairman of the budget board said he believed an evalu ation would partially satisfy the negative vote, build confidence and put the people "who want things" into the position where they have to vote. Doerner be lieves some such system will have to come later "if not now." Several private citizens ex pressed opinions also. ' Rotcot Lackey. 3167 NE Hughes St.: He believes the budget story should be told better. He suggest ed "cultivating the local editor" and eliminating headlines like "budget for millions." He noted "a lawyer ODnosing the budget had twice as much space as a school board rebullal." Mrs. Ed Lindell: She said par ents have supported the hudget and asked why people criticizing budgets dinn I attend preparation sessions. She endorsed the band and shop programs in the schools. Ralph Patterson, 2033 SE Doug las Ave.; He noted he always vot ed for budgets because he favored education, but added that many people did not see how taxes could continue to increase every year. He noted with disfavor a board trend to try to squeeze out every thing each year. Patterson sug gested a long range 10 year pro gram. Leo Boyle, 7J nr. inou Ave.: Hn said id did not think a system had to be sold but should be one desired." B. W.

More than 30 persons were in jurcd at Vasilia, including at least 15 Jurkish women. But there was no report of rape. Kucuk warned that if another incident erupted, "a wholesale massacre will follow. Sen. Case Requests Rejection Of Plan To Alter Electorate WASHINGTON UB-Sen. Clifford P. Case (R-N'J) appealed to his GOP colleagues today to reject i proposed constitutional amend ment that would revise the ivi- cidence of paralytic polio is 2 to ! tem f ''"' presidents and vice Salk Vaccine Safe, Effective, Potent, States Evaluator ANN ARBOR, Mich. W The man who evaluated the Salk polio vaccine says a year of widespread use has proved the vaccine to be safe, potent and effective. Dr. Thomas Francis Jr. said rec ords for the period show the in to times greater among persons who did not receive the vaccine developed by Dr. Jonas Salk in delivering the Gudakunst Memor ial Lecture at the University of Michigan yesterday. The vaccine was evaluated originally at the university. Most of the setbacks which fol lowed release of the vaccine for public use last April 12 have been eliminated, he said. Difficulties, he said, stemmed from variations in the potency of individual lots of vaccine and were caused by use of merthio- late as a preservative lor the vaccine. "It is interesting to note," he said, "that no laboratory - con firmed paralytic cases of polio occurred after vaccination with a vaccine which was more than 70 to 75 per cent potent." P Security Council Emergency Meet To Study Crisis By WILLIAM N. OATIS UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. im The U. N. Security Council is ex pected to meet in emergency ses sion late this week or early next in answer to a U. S. call for ur gent action on the current Israeli Arab crisis. The U. S. delegation called on the 11-nation Security Council for "urgent and early action." the same words President Eisenhower used in his March 7 news conference. The prospect was raised that U. N. Secretary General Dag Ham marskiold might be sent on a new peace mission to the Israeli area. U. S. Chief Delegate Henry Cab ot Lodge Jr. reported a buildup of armed forces near the Israeli Bord ers by both sides. He said shooting incidents were "recurring at a dangerous rate." Border clashes have erupted fre quently between Israel and the neighboring Arab states of Egypt, Jordan and Syria. Lodge said the border clashes and armed buildups were viola tions of the 1949 armistice nego tiated with U. N. help. "It is a matter of deep concern to the government of the United States," he said, "and it therefore requests urgent and early action hv the Security Council to consider the situation now prevailing in the Palestine area." MEETING TONIGHT The March nicotine of Ihe Douff las County Planning Commission will he held tonight instead of Thursday night, according to Chair man O. J. Kelt Jr. The commis sion regularly meets on Ihe fourth Thursday of each month in the planning offices in tho courthouse presidents. Although 30 Republican senators are listed as sponsors of the pro posed amendment, Case contended its "adverse effect on the Repub lican party for the indefinite fu ture cannot be questioned." He also maintained in a mem orandum sent to his fellow Re publican senators that the propos al would esuse what he termed "great and permanent injury to our society and our form of gov ernment and to the American two party system." Senate debate on the legislation got under way yesterday. Almost immediately there were sharply coniucting interpretations ox its possible effect. Party lines were mixed on the question. The proposal would do away with the present "winner - take- all system under which a state s entire electoral vote goes to the candidate receiving the most pop ular votes, no matter how slim his margin. The proposed amendment, as or iginally approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee, would divide each state's electoral votes for president in proportion to the pop' ular votes received by the candl date. A substitute amendment, worked out by Senators Daniel (D-Tex), Mundt (R-SD1 and Thurmond D- SO, would let each state decide whether to cast its electoral vote in that manner, or to choose prest dential electors as they now se lect their senators and represen tatives in Congress. Engineers To End Portland Session Ellsworth Holds Our ! For Access Road Funds WASHINGTON ifl Rep. Ells- worth (K-Ore) Tuesday said he hoped the Senate would reinstate a two-million dollar access road project in the appropriation lor forest activities. He also urRcd the House Ap propriations Committee to recon sider $2:0,000 for timber inventor ies. Both projects, which were planned for O&C timberlands, were eliminated by the commit tee. Ellsworth did not propose an amendment to reinstate the items. He said his remarks were aimed at stressing the importance of the projects. He then expressed his hope that the items will be rein stated by the Senate and accept ed later by the House. Ellsworth said that the two mil lion dollars will so to and be di vided up by Oregon's 18 O&C counties if it is not appropriated. ENTERS CAR Arthur Moore of 1759 SE Mill St. reported to city police in Rose burs today that someone had en tered his garage and broken open a wing window of his car to steal four blankets.
