EUGENE - State Civil
Service Commission investigators
announced Wednesday that they
probably will end the first phase
of an investigation of discord in
the Eugene fire department before
the end of the week.
Only one or two more days of
interviews are? contemplated, said
the commission investigators,
Melvin Cleveland and Herbert
Green. They have been interview-
ing firemen and city officials since
last Friday.

unjustified pressure" on employ

conditions in the department.
Voters also recently turned down

of Education, backed by the Ford
Foundation.
Weiss said the fund probably
would put $50,000 to 175.000 Into
the project thie year. The school
board has no appropriation in its
current budget for the program,
and at this point does not antici
pate a sizable increase lor the
next calendar year.
Expreeaesl Desire
The Washington County school
system was selected from about
40 applicants .'or the test, Weiss
said, because it was one ot me
first to express a desire for it
and because it was considered ty
ical of county school systems
throughout the country.
When the program is launched
next September, it will be used
an hour a day by more than (.000
students in two high schools and
six elementary schools in Hagers
town. Present plans call for ex
tension of the plan to the entire
county school system in fwo years
with all 47 schools supplied with
closed-circuit equipment and 20,
000 pupils receiving televised in
struction. Hish ftrhMi Course
At the start, these high school
courses will be taught: Ninth

mentary school program will in
clude sixth grade science, fifth
grade arithmetic, fourth grade so
cial studies, and some instruction
in reading and number readiness
in the first, second and third
grades.
During the first term, no pupil
will receive television instruction
in more than one course.
A special workshop later this
summer will prepare about 40
teachers for the televised instruc
tion periods.
It has not been determined yet
exactly what type of television re
ceivers will be used.
2 U Each Receiver
If 24-inch screens are employed,
about 20 pupils would be assigned
to each receiver. It was doubted
that anything less than 2: inch
screens would be used. The size
could go up to a blowup of several
feet.
For the one hour of instruction
each day, to start, the teacher
would rehearse about two hours. I
The rehearsal time could be re
duced or expanded, depending op
the type of presentation.

be sufficient, with no need for a
director or other personnel, they
estimated.

the program will provide an in
