Salem to (Discourage

By Charles Ireland I
Staff Writer, the Statesman .
Salem school district's board of directors Tuesday night served
notice it will discourage further consolidation overtures from out
lying school districts.
This policy statement, made at the request of county school offi
cials, came out of a school board meeting which also saw the directors
studying preliminary architect's sketches for a proposed addition to

was "a richly merited recognition
of the work of the Indomitable

promoting the interests ' and de

School directors went on record
that their position for the time be
ing will be unfavorable toward
consolidation proposals from any
areas that are not predominantly
suburban to Salem.?
Mrs." Agnes Booth, Marion coun
ty superintendent of schools; had
given the opinion Monday that a
policy statement from the Salem
district would tend I to unite lout
lying school districts in ; plans to
consolidate among themselves.
Most Schools in Salem suburbs
already f have - been consolidated
with the Salem district. !
Addition Proposed '
The board indicated that the
proposed addition to Richmond
grade school Would require a bond
issue. The board had hoped to in
clude that school in its ' building
program! for which $1,500,000 was
voted in April, 1948, but increased
building costs of other new schools
and additions have used up most
of the fund. ;
Plans shown Tuesday night in
clude a multipurpose room , and
kitchen extending along the north
side of the present Richmond
school building. (This would be
similar to the combination cafeteria-auditoriums
at new Washing
ton and! Lincoln schools.); !
Somewhat "V - s h a p e d. the
sketch of the addition showed a
row of 4 classrooms behind the
present building. An open space
and a covered play area separated
them from the main building ex
cept for their connection to the
multipurpose room.' I ,
Would Add Rooms ' -Nearly
all of the addition would
be one story high. It was pictured
in red brick to conform with the
older part An office was provid
ed, and, the multipurpose room
would provide space for two more
classrooms in the present building.

PORTLAND, Nov. 22 MJPh The

members of parliament. !
Roberto Chiari, the man who
succeeded Chanis three days ago
in a lightning coup, remained in
the presidential palace during the
shooting.
Buses Set Ablate
Rioting flared for two hours
after the marchers were scatter
ed by bullets and ' tear gas. A
half dozen buses were overturned
and some were set ablaze. Looting
was reported. The heaviest fire
occurred on Cathedral plaza with

apart a letter of resignation he
signed three days ago and an

Chanis told the assembly he
had tried last week beforshiari

chiefs who deposed him. He said
the chiefs had connections with
illegal monopolies on beef
slaughtering and commercial bus
enterprises.
Hundreds of persons in the gal
leries streamed from the assem
bly building crying1 To presi
dencia (the official S residence).
They were joined by others, and
the entire crowd swept , toward
the presidential palace with
Chanis at their head. !
Mounted and federal police
charged down the thoroughfare in
an attempt to break up any march
on the presidential residence.
j0.OQO In March
The crowd grew in number.
Estimates of, those, who pushed
toward the president's residence
ranged from 10,000 to 30,000. .
Machine gun and rifle fire
crackled. Eyewitnesses said the
fire was directed at the demon
strators. Some took refuge behind palm
trees as the bullets whizzed past
Cars in the street were riddled.
Chanis was at the head of the
procession as it marched, eye
witnesses said. There was no im
mediate word on what happened
to him, but It was known he was
in the crowd when the firing
began. , , .

Vincent Hallinan, .chief attorney
for; Harry Bridges, was sentenced
today to six months in jail for
criminal contempt of court after
a bitter, acriminous exchange of
words with Federal Judge George
B. Harris.
Judge Harris at first ordered
Hallinan into custody immediate

Hallinan to continue to represent
the west coast longshore leader in
his perjury trial.
The trial will be resumed at 10
a. m. tomorrow, nder his original
order. Judge Harris had continued
the case until Dec. 6 and told
Bridges to get another lawyer. The
stay, however, means that Halli
nan will have to serve his sen
tence once the case goes to the
Jury.
The word battle brought a
scathing denunciation of Halli
nan's contemptuous attitude by the
judge and a motion by the attor
ney that the Judge disqualify him
self in the proceedings.
Before Judge Harris granted the
stay, he discussed the matter with
Bridges, who is charged with per
