inquiry into charges that top

McClcllan barked "dictatorship"
after Conforli said he was mysti
fied by a $333.98 cheek produced
by committee counsel Robert Ken

by Conforli. But the stocky, 37

Meet Fails To Resolve
Rift At Camas Valley
(Continued from page one)
but got under way when one
woman asked an explanation of
the recall.
Tho crux of the matter was
rcifched when the two board mem
bers under fire were asked why
they had failed to rehire custodian
A. A. (Illu) Spencer and cook El
len Markham. The custodian and
cook will be replaced in July by
Arthur Jones and Nora Denn.
Schafer said the action had been
taken on what he considered the
recommendation of Supt. Principal
J. Clyde Akcy. He said Akey had
called Spencer a "very, very poor
housekeeper."
Akey jumped to his teet and ne
nied tiie statement. He said he had
recommended all nnn teaching per
sonnel. He claimed he had said
Ihe housekeeping wasn't the kind
one would expect in his home, but
it wasn't possible if an employe
bad to do (he work of four men.
The minutes of the meeting re
vealed that the two board mem
bers, Shafer and Cummings. had
voted ngainsl rehiring the custod
ian and cook', and the other three
members had declined lo vote.
Cummings was accosted at this
point for failing lo veto "the will
of the people." lie retorted that he
"would not how down to pressure."
He lashed out al what ho called
"this two-hit petition" for recall,
saying no one indicated strong fa
vor in keeping the custodian and
cook until after Ihe failure to re
hire. Then he said the opposition
came lo Ihe fore in the form of a
"pressure group meeting." (It was
at this meeting a straw vote was
taken unhealing heavy favor fur
recall.)
Ted Ileilm.in, one of the leaders
of Ihe recall movement, claimed
another reason for recall was al
leged efforts by the two board
members to malign the suiienn-
Itendent. He said Cummings had
said that "if Akey stays, we will
lose our coach and teachers." Cum
mings replied thai it had been
"my information that they might
quit " The hoard made no renew
al oi Akey s contract, but he still
has another year on his present
contract.
It was obvious strong delegations
had turned up lor the Hireling
from both sides of the dispute.
Speaking against the petition, two
people said some names had been
secured ill a tavern. Ileilinan, own
er of the tavern, said he new of
no such instance. He said he had
tile petition in the stole part of
the building "only as a public
service."
Din ing the evening another hoard
member, Wilinrr White wasj
atked what he would do if Ihe two.
'men wore not recalled. "I won't
I slay on." White replied. Hut some
of the sting of that statement was'
I relieved when White indicated he

President Wins
Partial Backing
On Defense Bill
WASHINGTON I President
Eisenhower won a partial victory
Thursday when the Senate For
eign Relations Committee voted
for a two-year program of military
aid and defense support abroad.
The committee decided to vole
later on the question of how much
ilhe administration will be allowed
i to spend in those fields for either
the tiscal year starting July 1 or
the year starting July 1, 1958.
Also to he considered later is
the program for economic aid.
which is separate from the defense
support effort.
.Members forecast sharp cuts be
low the $1,900,000,000 Eisenhower
asked for military assistance and
the 900 million he wants for next
year to help allies to maintain
their defense commitments. They
talked of cuts in the neighborhood
of -1) billion dollars.
The administration had sought
permanent authority for military
and defense support appropria
tions. This would have eliminated
the need lo come back to the For-
eign Relations Committee in the i
future for new authority, leaving I
only the Appropriations Commit-1
tee to pass on the case for new
funds
Under the compromise worked
out Thursday, the administration
would not have to appear before
the Foreign Relations Committee
for these two forms of assistance
next year unless it wants to raise
the ceilings.

hrueellnsis-free area according to
the State Department of Agricul
ture. Following the completion of test'
ing of 18,278 cattle in 2,616 herds
in the county by federal and state
veterinarians, tne area was ceru
fled as brucellosis-free. Officials
found 52 reactors among the cattle
tested in the county for a very
low .21 per cent, and 11 herds in
fected for a .41 per cent.
A 14th county, Umatilla, has been
completely tested and is now await
ing certification.
Officials have set a tentative
target date for completion of the
entire brucellosis testing program
in Oregon June 30, 1959. However,
this date is contingent upon several
factors, foremost of which is the
speed with which the bordering
states of Nevada and California
complete their programs in bor
dering counties where there is
heavy traffic in cattle between the
i states.
If the programs in these two
stales progress at the same rate
as that in Oregon, officials feel this
completion date can be reached.

Glendale Committee
ri;fM io onn Off
Defeated Budget
The third election on a portion
of Ihe Glendale
School District
; budget for 1957-58 is scheduled June
28, reports correspondent Mrs, G.
B. Fox.
A budget hearing has been set
June 27.
The budget amount outside the
6 per cent limitation was turned
down a second time last week, and
the budget committee began slic
ing Tuesday night.
After a lengthy session, attend
ed by 25 people, the committee
pared $12,200 from the $125,925.15
outside the 6 per cent limitation.
This means voters will decide on
S112.871.15.
These were the cuts made:
1. In view of a slight drop in
population, it was decided the
grade school could get along with
one less teacner. it also was decid
ed that two teachers with less
teaching experienc could be se
cured for less money. Saving: $4,
500.
2. The board sliced $1,000 from
supplies and repairs and a similar
amount from the emergency fund.
3. A $1,200 item was cut from the
$14,000 estimated for repair of a
dry rot condition in the floor and
under pinnings of the elementary
school buildings.
The committee also took a chance
on more income than it had ori
ginally estimated. It now iestimatcs
an additional $4,500 can be added
to income safely. One of the
items was an estimated increase
in income from cafeteria sourc
es. It has originally been set at
$13,500. but now has been upped
to $15,000.
Finally, it is expected that Ihe
ad valorem tax offset from basic
school funds may further reduce
the budget, Mrs. Fox says.
