NEWPORT. Ore.. Dec. 5.
(AP) Parents of about forty stu

here today, directed their child
ren to get their books and belong
ings. and take them : home, with
the ultimatum that there would be
no return until a man principal is
selected, to succeed Mrs. Daisy
Halleck. Thus, a new chapter was
added -o the - Newport "school
strike,, a situation that has ex
isted with' more or less persistence
for two months. : ' ' . - - -
In" the meantime, efforts were
being contlnued'to bring about a
solution of the problem. To this
end, a meeting has been called for
tomorrow, at which the parents
will confer, with the school board
and attempt to induce them to pe
tition the county board to appoint
a male principal. -
The county , board has taken the
position that It is the duty of the
local board to ' advise it, and the
Inference is given that such ad
vice will be followed.
The local board, In the mean
time. is standing firmly . behind
Mrs Halleck. who is taking the
trouble calmly, .despite the fact
that a petition is being circulated
asking that she reslgln. J-
.There were about a dozen stu
dents left in school today, aftet
the walk out had taken place.
Mrs. Halleck was appointed
principal to succeed the late P. L.
