Communist soldiers were re

by shooting at lighted windows

South Oregon
Students Stage
Protest Strike
CAVE JUNCTION, Ore.. March
10 -VP)- Nearly half of the 165
students at Illinois Valley high
school here walked out today in
protest to firing of the school's
teachers.
The students paraded through
the streets with placards saying
"We want our teachers back."
The walk-out followed a
lengthy meeting of a school board
committee with the students.
The students asked that Prin
cipal Clarence Hagen be reinstat
ed or that they be told why he
was being released. The only an
swer was: friction in the faculty.
Trouble had been simmering
for days. The county school Sub
committee handling the local
school notified all 11 teachers
they would not be rehired, but
said all except Hagen and Roy E.
Tremayne, English teacher, could
apply for reinstatement By law,
teachers must be told by March
15 whether they are to be retained
for the next year.
Mrs. Harry O. Smith, head of
the sub-committee, charged that
Hagen's supervision resulted in
friction. A meeting of some 100
school patrons earlier this week
got no more information. The
county board backed the com
mittee. County School Supt. L. C.
Moffitt declined to comment
At today's meeting, when stu
dents threatened to walk: out of
classes, both Moffitt and Hagen
asked them not to. But when the
meeting ended, half the students
left the school. The rest returned,
to classes.
The county board meets Mon
day night in Grants Pass. Pre
sumably the trouble will be aired
before it i

President Truman has asked for
special -aid to housing coopera
tives to provide dwellings for per
sons in the so-called middle in
come brackets from $2,400 to
$4,700 a year. The original bill
presented by the administration
called for $2,000,000,000 in government-backed
loans to such co
operatives. The bank in 7 committee nit (h
loan figure to $1,000,000,000 and
dropped the idea of direct govern
ment guarantees that the . loans
would be reDaid. Instead, the hill
was revised to provide for insur
ance of the loans to cooperatives
by a national mortgage corpora
tion, which would raise money by
selling debentures I securities.)
Middle Iaeome Families
Senator Sparkman (D-Ala), one
of the psonsors of the bill told
the senate that the measure is
drawn to meet the needs of many
families of modest means, who
make too much to be eligible for
public housing, but not quite
enough to bur or rent suitable
quarters at present prices.

proposed cooperative program, a

Vanderberg Says
Russ Soon Able to
Launch A-Attack
SAN BERNARDINO, Calif,
March 10 -()- General Hoyt S.
Vandenberg said tonight that
Russia soon will be able to launch
an intercontinental atomic attack
in considerable strength.
In a speech prepared for the
San Bernardino Orange festival,
the air force chief of staff added:
"The grave question now facing
us is whether this ability is in
creasing more rpidly than our
own ability to resist such an attack.-
Vandenberg said the extent to
which the air force can carry out
all its responsibilities depends on
the resources that can be made
available for its use.
VA Employes
Given Notices
WASHINGTON, March 10-WV
The veterans administration gave
job-ending no bees to thousands of
its employes today and there were
rumors it will close some smaller
offices throughout the country.
On March 3, Administrator
Carl Gray, Jr, announced that VA
would have to drop about 7.800
employes because it lacked the
money to keep them on the payroll.
It now has about 185,000 full time
employes and 10,000 part time
workers.
Express Rate
Rise Granted
WASHINGTON. March 10-UPV-
A $25,000,000 a year rate increase
for the Railway Express Agency
was authorized by the interstate
commerce commission today.
The agency, wholly owned by
the nation's major railroads, will
be allowed to increase its charges
10 per cent on all first and second
class express shipments moving in
less than carload lots. That takes
in the bulk of the agency's busi
ness.
