First Of Three Education Bills Move Step Closer To Legislature Showdown
y HICTOR I FOX I
SALEM IK The firit of three
controversial education bills
moved i step closer to a show-
iIauth tat Ik r - . I
urrgon legislature
Tuesday as a legislative commit
tee wound up hearings on a "blue
print for school reorganization
and consolidation.
The House Education Commit
tee announced it would put a rec
ommendation on the measure
Lb,ar?ly- Tf mittee hi!
held two full scale hearings on
IE! tP.ropo"J; recommended by
the Interim Committee on Educa
tion, and the weight of opinion has
been about evenly divided.
Tuesday, the House Education
Committee heard foes of the bill
Main center objections on what
they said were "a threat of com
pulsion" and the loss of local
school district control.
Proponents replied the fears
were groundless, asserting the
bill provides a five-year period for
districts to decide whether they
want to regroup as a unified dis
trict comparable with present
first-class district.
I The reorganisation plan calls
for a convention of school board
.members in each county. If a ma
jority approved, all the districts
'in the proposed reorganization
.would unify.
Dennis Lindsay, attorney rep
resenting the Riverdale district
'near Portland, said the plan
I ought to exempt districts which
'now are operating on sound fi
nancial footing. He contended
I some districts might be voted out
!of existence.
I Gardner Knapp, Salem school
board member, said a score of
schools bad been absorbed volun
tarily in the Salem system in re
cent years. He said there would
i be some dissatisfaction under the
I reorganization plan "for awhile,"
but predicted tax, transportation
and other savings would "soon
convince them of the soundness"
!of unification.
I Strong endorsement came from
'school representatives of eastern
I Washington County, which has
been described as one of the most
"distressed" areas in the state.
J. O. Johnson. Tigard, former
'State senator, said previous state
administrations had "faded to
meet the problem.
Edgar Grimes, representative
of several Linn County farm or
ganizations, repeated opponents'
contention that reorganization and
consolidation usually resulted in
a more populous district exerting
influence over the smaller dis
tricts brought into the unification.
RESENT MUSICAL
The Boseburg Woman's Club pre
sented the latest monthly music
program at the Veterans Adminis
tration Hospital. The programs are
presented for veterans at the hos
pital. They are arranged by Mrs.
B. W. Maddox. Guests are welcome.
Spokesmen for the Oregon Edu
cation Assn. and the Oivicon
School Boards Assn. urged more
"teeth in the bill to prevent a
disconnected network of "strag
gler" districts over the state.
The plan also has the support
of the Oregon Congress of Par
ents and Teachers. Organized la
bor and the Oregon Grange op
pose it.
