News-Review Stiff Writer
David Robison, 11-year-old Ten
milt boy who was born with a
spinal ailment called spina bifida,
larted to ichool this week.
Actually, David has received
schooling or several years now,
but not in company with other
youngsters. He has been tutored
at home by special teachers em
ployed through the state Board of
Education.
The son of Mr. and Mrs. Hoyt
Robison, David was tutored at the
Robison farm for the pa.st three
months by Mrs. Nor ah Pender
grass. His teacher noted that Dav
id is a fast learner who excels in
mathematics and reading.
Although the congenital ailment
often retards the growth of the
legs, David was not affected in this
way. He is partially paralyzed,
however.
But, despite this, the lively
voungster can swim and ride a
hwse. And, hampered little by the
Canadian crutches which are em
ployed by his lower arms, he can
scamper when need be, too.
David entered Children's Hospi
tal School in Eugene Monday.
There, he will be educated in ordi
nary classroom fashion ocs.de re
ceiving therapeutic treatment. The
school, which now has an enroll
ment of 32. is financed through the
annual Easter Seal campaign.
Easter Drive Starts
Coincidental!, David's first
dav at the school also marked the
kickoff of the 1959 Easter Seal
drive.
AJthough it is little known, spina
bifida is not as rare as most peo
ple believe, noted Mrs. Ernest
Barker, Jr., news chairman for
the 1959 campaign in Douglas Coun
ty-
She said four rases of spina bl
fida in the county have come to
the attention of Easter Seal work
ers during the last month.

budget' for the 1959-60 school year,
totaling $735,829.24, was approved
by he school board a a nieeing
Tuesday night.
This is an increase of $39,967.27
over the present operating budget
which totals $695,861.97. Included
in the new budget are salaries for
two new teachers, a full time ele
mentary school librarian and a
corrective reading teacher. Also in
the budget is money to expand the
science and mathematics facilities
the upper elementary building.
Rosebure's Budget Committee,
wait ins throuch its second session
this week, cleared up three prob
lems Tuesday night as memoers
sought to pear operating expenses
to a minimum.
They resolved to leave a $4,000
item in the 1959-60 fiscal year
budget for continuing work of the
Planning Commission, decided not
to cut city department personnel
further, and went along with the
current policy of regular incre
ment schedule pay increases.
The meeting opened with an ap
peal from Lyle Glenn. Planning
Commission chairman, who strong
ly urged further use of municipal
planning services offered by the
state with federal matching mon
ies. Glenn pointed out the first phase
of the current planning project has
been completed with preparation of
a land use map and other statis
tical information about Roseburg
and its surrounding area. He said
the city "now has the tools" with

orderly future development, and
argued this should not be postpon
ed. Jobs To Remain
Mrs. Willma Hill, acting city
manager, and department heads
present for budget discussions said
they had no plans for reducing the
number of persons employed by
the city as a means of trimming
general fund expenditures. It was
pointed out, however, temporary
summer labor costs will De cut oui
as an expense item, except where
absolutely necessary.
The 16-man committee, after
lengthy discussion of salary scales
for several departments, approved

increases next year, iney went.
even further, allowing a $15 month
ly hike above top scale for cer
tain personnel in administrative
and supervisory work.
Ken Meng, city engineer, argued
that several top men in this status
had reached the peak wage level,
and salaries for such skilled per
sonnel is considerably lower in
Roseburg than in other cities of
enmnarabla size.
After completing 12 pages of the
22-page budget report submitted
Monday by department heads and
city manager, the committee has
cut only about a half mill from
recommendations. About one-third
of this reduction came from shitt
ing some $2,500 from the street
department budget to the state tax
street fund, thus trimming slight

Several members asked M r s.
Hill to prepare an "all out" re

be done enough to clip six or
seven mills from department pro

mean limiting several programs
and possibly reducing city serv

for a total budget some $62,000 be
low the one approved last year, but
$81,000 has been added to normal
expenses this year for debt retire

this, the city mill levy would have

field today said legislative efforts
to balance the budget without new
taxes is "fiscal brinksmanship."
Hatfield said his own plan is
"the best defense against a tales
tax."
Hatfield told a press conference
a new plan by five House Repub
licans falls into the same category
of fiscal brinksmanship as he ac
cused the Democratic majority of
trying to accomplish.
Hatfield said the plan of the
five Republicans calling for no
new taxes except for a tobacco
tax that would be referred to the
people to build new institution and
cullege buildings docs not take
the future into account.
Hatfield favors an income tax
increase so a building program
could be included in the current
budget. He said he fears the
people would reject a tobacco-
financed building program.
Hatfield also wants a capital
gains tax reduction that would be
effective only if a cigarette tax
would become effective.
Hatfield said he does not con

a total of $5,147,914 on or before

Totals on 1958 tax returns were

Expanded duties for the
building inspector is part of
organization program initiated to
day at Roseburg City Hall by
.Mrs. willma Hill, acting city man
ager. She announced this morning the
office of building inspector has
been put under supervision of the
Department of Public Works. Here
toiore, the job was a separate
agency of municipal government.
ine change was made as a new
building inspector takes over duties
of the office. He is a long-time
Roseburg resident Bruce A. Mellis.
846 SE Glen St., who was hired
last week to replace C, N. Currier
who resigned. Mellis started his
new job March 1.
Mrs. Hill said the departmental
change will allow greater use of i
the city building inspector in his
activities ana save considerable
man hours of work for the engi
neering, itreet and sewer departments.
The shift was . recommended
Tuesday night at a meeting of the
city's Budget Committee, now
searching for ways to trim munici
pal expenses and reduce operating
costs.
The city manager exolained
that Mellis' chief job will be to
make all regular inspections call
ed for in the line of duty as build
ing inspector. "This will come
first," she said, "but he also will
be able to relieve the engineer's
office with many duties in the
field, and leave more time for per
sonnel in that department to do
actual engineering work."
Mellis comes to the city from
Gerretsen Building Supply Co.
where he has worked for the past
14 years. Prior to that he taught
school at Tillamook and Rose
burg High Schools in the industrial
arts departments.
He received his college degree
in education at Parsons College,
Iowa, and later took considerable
advanced work at Colorado Uni
versity and the University of Ore
gon.
Mellis is a World War II veter
an, having served overseas with
the U.S. Army Engineers.
First Proposals Stand
"It is desirable to hold the
line," he said, "and if the Ways
and Means Committee can keep
appropriations down, fine, I'm all
for it."
But he then said he is "standing
by my original proposals, which
are far superior to other proposals."
Hatfield said the hold-the-line
policy would plunge the state into
serious financial trouble in 1961,
and that Democratic leaders favor
a sales tax "to make the picture
gloomy enough that we will be
faced with no alternative but their
pet proposal.
"A sales tax will hit the low
income earner, the retired, the
welfare recipient, the widowed,
the hardest."
Rep. Keith Skclton (D-Eugene),
I
Means Committee, said earlier
Oregon would need a sales tax.
The plan of the five Republi
cans was advanced as a trial bal
loon, and its sponsor! said today
they are receiving plenty of sup-
pon.
The plan also calls for a tax
of 4 cents a package on cigarettes
and 20 per cent on other tobacco.
This would be referred to the
people to provide money for the
building program.
Hatfield has proposed a tax of
2 cents a package on cigarettes
and 10 per cent on other tobacco.
But this revenue would be offset
by his proposed reduction in the
tax on capital gains.
While Hatfield does not like the
new idea, Rep. Joe Rogers (R

Satellite Nears
Level Of Moon
WASHINGTON (AP) Pioneer
IV streaked close to the level of
the moon today in America's most
successful probe into the mys
teries of the farther reaches of
space.
The tracking station at Gold
stone Dry Lake in the Mojave
uesert re-estaotlshed radio con
tact at 7:33 a.m. EST and report
ed the gold-plated cone 192,000
miles out, with its speed down to
4,775 miles an hour.
An hour and a half later, at 9
a.m., new contacts showed a dis
tance of 198.323 miles and a speed
of 4,742 miles an hour.
The probe was still on its near-
miss course past the moon toward
a predicted orbit around the sun
where Soviet Union claims it al
ready has a satellite.
Revised calculations indicated
the space traveler would make its
closest approach to the moon at
5:24 p.m. (EST) or about 37,000
miles away. Scientists gave them
selves a plus-or-minus allowance
of 2.000 miles on the distance com
putation. At that time the Pioneer should
be 239.000 miles from earth. That
is more than the distance to the
moon itself because of tho slight
error in flight angle which will
carry the Pioneer farther to one
side ot the moon than the sci
entists at the National Aeronau
tics and Space Administration had
hoped. They had aimed at some
thing Inside of 10,000 miles.
The Goldstone station, which
had been out of touch with the
Pioneer for more than 15 hours
at the time of the 7:33 contact,
expected to lose touch again

and the earth's rotation carried
