Springfield Junior
Named Top Driver
MADRAS (AP) Larry Bruhn.
17-year-old junior at Springfield
High School, was named the top
young driver ot the state teen-age
Koaa-e-o, sponsored By the Ore
gon Junior Chamber of Com
rnerce.
Only the day before Bruhn had
won the Springfield competition.
He will represent Oregon in the
national Road-e-o finals in August
at wasnington, u. u
Other top finishers are Kent
uunae, siayton; Dean Sampson,
Florence: Bill McKnight, Baker;
and Keither Swanson, Madras.
. The trophy for the top girl in
the competition went to Marlene
Gchrman of Bend, who was
eignin.
Meier, a member of the Myrtle
Creek and Rural school boards, saw
it as an effort by someone "to
make a 25 per .ccnLgrab
Obvious Sourre
It was evident that "someone"
was Portland School District. Port
land, he said, now has its tax base
and its buildings. "But we are still
building basic programs."
He said for years Douglas Coun
ty and other O & C and Forest
Service-rich counties were so poor
they couldn't support their schools
without federal help. Meanwhile,
Portland was prospering, building
its tax base and growing, he said.
Near Golden Ere
In recent years, these counties
have been starting to receive the
benefits from forest receipts. Meier
said "we haven't received much
yet, but now we are near a golden
era."
"And now," he concluded, "the
big ones are coming to ask ui to
share with them."
At this point. Committee Chair
man Ward Cook interrupted to in
sist that "it isn't that the rich are
wanting to soak the poor."
All Factor
Cook said the major purpose of
the legislative committee is to de
termine the state support level for
education. "We have recognized

Union Head Sees
Salary Increase
Mrs. Maurine Neuberger told the
letter carriers meeting in Rose
burg last weekend she'll try to pro
tect installment buyers, should she
be elected if. S. Senator from Ore
gon. William C. Doherly, national
head of the group told them that
they had a good chance at a 9
per cent pay increase.
And state officers were chosen.
Thus did the state Association of
Letter Carriers wind up its busi
ness. The state auxiliary met si
multaneously and also named offi
cers. Mrs. Neuberger favors a "truth
in lending" measure which was co
sponsored by Sen. Richard L. Neu
berger (D-Ore). She is seeking his
former senatorial seat this fall in
the general elections.
She told the postal workers at
a Saturday night banquet that
many finance company customers
and "Buy-on-timers" don't reckon
with "hidden, undisclosed finance
charges."
The bill she favors would require
"full disclosure of finance charges
and a statement of the interest
rate charge."
The national president, also an
AFL-CIO vice president, William C.
Doherty, praised Sen. Neuberger's
flag-carrying for the "little man."
Doherty thinks the postal car
riers' (and all federal workers) 9
per cent pay increase will carry.
It must override a certain Presi
dential veto, no easy task, and Do
herty's is of course an opinion he'd
like to see become a fact.
New officers selected Sunday for
the state Association included Bill
Dixon of Corvallis, president;
Charles Wiley of Medford, vice
S resident; Jim Godfrey of Rose
ure. secretary: Arnold Barzee of
Corvallis, treasurer; John Grenz of
Jefferson, rural director; Art
Strunk. Grants Pass, three-year ex
ecutive board term (to serve with
Gerald Wood, chairman of Port
land, and Harry Sweetman of Co
quille). New state auxiliary officers are
Mrs. Christine Rose of Medford,
president; Mrs. Gertrude Bailey of
Portland, vice presiaeni; ivirs.

retary; Mrs. Lorraine Barzee of
Corvallis, treasurer; Mrs. Rita
Graves of Salem, organizer; and
Mrs. Lois Quine of Roseburg, leg
islative chairman.
Retiring state Association aux
iliary president is Bernice West
cott of Hillsboro, and state Asso
ciation president is Mrs. Christine
Rose of Medford. Local officers
prominent in arrangements for the
convention at the Umpqua Hotel
which drew around 200 from As
sociation and auxiliary were
Rudy Brand, president of the lo
cal branch; Mrs. Lois Quine, aux
iliary president; and Jim Godfrey,
convention chairman.

Ecuador Election
QUITO, Ecuador (AP) Former
President Jose M. veiasco marra,
running as an independent,
swamoed three other candidates
to win the presidency of Ecuador
early today.
The overwhelming election of
an independent was a bard blow
at the traditional parties, the Lib
erals and Conservatives, and was
a crusher to the leftists.
C Funds
Meeting
alize that some districts can't give
aaequate programs, inus, we need
to share.
"We are trying to determine a
long-range state aid program, so
we have to consider all factors."
Among tne lactors, he said, are
forest funds paid in lieu of taxes,
such as the O & C and Forest Serv
ice receipts.
Cook, a former Portland school
board member himself, also insist
ed tnat tne money wouldn t be tak
en away from the counties. Rath-
er, he said, the money received
from timber sales would be weight
ed in considering the need for state
aid to education.
Cook Backed
Committee member John Houn-
sell of Salem backed Cook by say
ing "I'm afraid we have to con
sider forest receipts to assist
school districts in counties receiv
ing them."
He said the committee would
have to consider them in the over
all tax burden but "I'm not in fa
vor of a big chunk." He pointed
out that some have suggested that
as much as two-thirds of the tim
ber receipts be weighted in deter
mining how much state support
would be received.
Hounsell concluded that the com
mittee wanted "something practi
cal, fair, just and something that
can be sold."

the last day of the hearings of the
state Legislative Interim . Commit
tee on Education in Roseburg Sat
urday. ! The day was devoted to discus
sion of Douglas County problems
in education. And one of the most
persistent calls for changes came

ganization law. '
Asking for changes were Eugene
Fisher of Elkton, legislative chair
man of the slate School Boards
Assn.; M. C. Deller, Roseburg
School District superintendent;
county school Supt. Kenneth Bar

LUBBOCK, Tex. (AP) A heli
copter, two, light planes and a
truck Sunday helped find the body
of the third crewman of a Br8
supersonic jet bomber that

The three civilians floated to
earth in parachutes but strong
winds dragged them over rough
terrain battering them to death.
The men, all residents of Fort

the Convair division of General

cases of single unified districts be
coming administrative districts

asked that present, school board
members be allowed to finish their
terms to allow continuity of exper
ience. , . .
Such a situation will face Rose
burg probably next year when it
Decomes an administrative district.
All members of the present board
must resign, and to return must
run. for re-election even though
some oi tnem mignt nave years
to serve on their original terms.
Kurai Board Duties -
Both Glover and Fisher 'also
urged that the law be changed to
give the Rural School Board the
duties of the reorganization com
mittee when the latter is dissolved.
Another subiect which drew con-
siderable discussion during the five
nours ot Hearings 'Saturday was
community colleges. -
' Deller lodged a protest against
the' Southwestern Oregon Commu

trict's efforts to include part of
Douglas County in its boundaries.
He said Roseburg expects to have
its own community college eventu
ally. - .
State Aid Asked
Both Barneburg and Henrv Hart
ley, superintendent of the North
Bend School District, said they felt
me slate snouia nclo districts in
paying for buildings for commu
nity colleges. Also on hand to dis
cuss the subject was Henry Han
son, North Bend, a guiding light
in the Loos county community col
lege movement.
Another speaker was Burl Oar
of Roseburg, president of the Doug
las County Farm Bureau Federa
tion. He read a resolution calling
for retention of the vocational agri
culture program at Roseburg High
School and its promotion through
out the county. The program is to
be discontinued in Roseburg next
year. The resolution also called for
retaining controls of education at
the local levels.
Personal Formula
Donald Fluke. Glide School Dis
trict .superintendent, outlined his
personal formula for financing so
called foundation programs set
down by the state. He naid, the
districts should add state aid and
all other sources of revenues to
gether and then make up the dif
ference in reaching the minimum
program with a county-wide rural
tax. Then any additions a district
wants to make could be made by
additional taxes within the districts.
The other speaker before the
committee was Supt. George Cor
win of the Dillard School District,
who reported on values of local
committees to advise school ad
ministrators. School Board Awards
