Associated Press Press-Room Capital S:d?&, Oregon' JUN-6I9S0 SALEM Coff.p, tmit if 11 imm mssm School District Reorgan Law Shift Asked '; By GEORGE CASTILLO ; News-Review Assistant Editor ' The state School Boards Assn. this morning asked the state Legislative Interim Committee to consider a change in the school district reorganization law. The request was made by the association through its legislative chairman, Eugene Fisher of Elkton. Fisher had originally been slated to speak Friday afternoon, but the committee got behind schedule and had to defer his re port until today. The remainder of the last day of the three-day hearing in Rose burg was being devoted to educa tional problems in Douglas County. Today's meeting is being held In j the Umpqua Hotel. Fisher said the School Boards Assn. is in favor of at least two major changes in the present law., The first is that if the county re organization committees feel for mation of a new administrative school district is still feasible with out the inclusion of the rejecting districts, the committee may delete the rejecting districts and submit the revised plan to the state Board of Education. If the state board approves the revised plan, the new district may be formed without more hearings or elections. Repeat Necessary Under the present law, if any dis trict reiects a plan for its inclu sion in the district, the entire pro cess of hearings and elections must be repeated to exclude that dis trict. The second change proposed is that in any administrative school district which may be formed from an existing unified school dis trict (such as Roseburg) without an election, the existing school board members shall continue to serve until the expiration of their respective terms of office. Under the present law, an elec tion for all posts must be held. Fisher had some other proposals for changes, as well. 1. That the state treasurer place $70,000 from basic school support fund for payment of expenses of the state Board of Education, coun ty superintendents and county com mittees on reorganization in carry ing out reorganizations. 2. That county committees on re organization be abolished and their functions De turned over iu me rural school boards. Local commit tG mav ha formed for each ele mentary, junior high and high school district. Friday's session was highlighted by a report from Paul Elliott, su perintendent of the Oakridge School District. The former Roseburg ad ministrator said his district warns (he rural school law abolished. Democracy Undermined "Hnw can vou educate for democ racy and destroy the reasons for the success ot mat democracy: he said bluntly. Hb said it isn't fair to tell a dis trict it must take taxes from its district to support another. (The rural school law is a plan for equalization of school funds avail able to school districts. The richer districts contribute to support of poorer districts.) "We shouldn't be taxed without having control over use of re ceipts," Elliott said. He claimed that the law retards reorganiza tion because receiving districts don't want to become contributing districts. . , ., , Even further, he said, the law is not legal and is too complex to explain to voters. Others on the program for the day were Dr. Clarence Hines, pro fessor of education at University of Oregon, who gave a report on school district personnel practices; Ethal Fulmer of the University of Oregon, who reported on school dis trict purchasing practices in the state; and L. E. Marschat, director of the Research and Apportionment Section of the state Department of Education, who reported an analy sis of proposed formulas for distri bution of state aid. The formulas are under study by the committee. Members of the committee con ducting the hearings are Sens. Ward Cook, Robert White and Jean Lewis, Reps. Evelyn Nye and Al bert Flegel; and lay members James Yeomans and William Bade.

The Nationalist Defense Minis try said the Communists directed their artillery attack at a Chinese Nationalist transport carrying supplies to Quemoy. It was not hit. There was no indication the Communists had fired on the Que moy Islands themselves. But Nationalist quarters in Tai pei attached importance to Satur day's action because it was the first of its kind on an even-num bered cay since the Communists nad spared the quemoy islands from gunfire on such days since early November 1958. It was seen here as a possible curtain-raiser to a new crisis in Formosa Strait. The Nationalists have been pre dieting the Communists might be planning to create a fresh crisis to precede, coincide with or fol low President Eisenhower's visit to the Far East. The President is due in Taipei June 18 for a visit of just over a nours. Assault Case Due For Trial Here Billy Jim Robertson. 32. of Ta- coma, Wash., will face trial in Douglas County Circuit Court on two charges of assault and battery during the September term of court. He has been released on $3,000 bail, $1,500 on each count. The complaints charge that last November, Robertson, with his brother Joe H. Robertson, beat up lwo Riddle men. One man, Jess Blake, said his cheekbone and three ribs were fractured. The oth er, Dr. Vance Kelsey, said he had received a broken nose and bruis es. Robertson pleaded innocent to both felony charges of assault and battery by means of force likely to produce great bodily harm. He was returned by the sheriff's of fice from Massachusetts to face the charges. His brother was sentenced to six months in the Douglas County jail for the assaults after a jury found mm guilty. Fire Dept. Reduction Requested At Astoria ASTORIA (AP) City Manager William Cunningham wanls to cut Astoria's Fire Department to 20 men. There now are 27 firemen here. Fire Chief Wayne Oslerby said it was a dangerous proposal, and told the city Budget Committee: "I don't know why men without fire experience should determine policy for the Fire Department." The committee later said it sup ported the city manager's plan for reducing the number of paid fire men and augmenting the depart ment with volunteers.

More than 15,000 radical stu dents, workers, Socialists and Com munists snake-danced past tne clos ed iron gates of the white stone embassy in the second straight day of a pressure campaign against Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi and the U.S. ' Japan military al liance. The noisy but orderly parade, lasting nearly three hours, was aimed mainly at Eisenhowers scheduled visit June 19-22.
