The directors of the Bend school
district should make this decision
A somewhat knotty problem is fac
ing directors of the Bend school dis
trict, a problem on which they should
make a decision in the near future.
The problem is also a knotty one
for the new Junior college district, l it
is approved by the voters at the elec
tion to be called early next year.
;Jhe question revolves around equip
ment purchased by the school district,
which has been the major financial re
source for the college since the college
program was started.
I Over the years, the school district
has purchased, in round figures, ap
proximately $75,000 worth of instruc
tional equipment for the college. Most
of ihis is used exclusively for college
purposes, although a small portion is
used jointly by the college and the
high school.
The question is: what happens to
this equipment if the new district is
formed?
, Does the school district sell it, at
cost or market value, whichever is
greater, to the college district? Or, does
It make a gift, or an effective gift, to
the new entity by giving it free or at
a very nominal cost to the new dis
trict? There are arguments on both sides.
On one hand, there is the feeling
the school district has bought and paid
for the equipment. If it were to sell
the equipment Involved, the proceeds
from such a sale would reduce property
taxes within the district, although by
a relatively small amount, while the
equipment was being sold.
On the other hand, the Bend school
district is entirely within the new pro
posed college district. If taxes were
to be reduced in the Bend district by
sale of the equipment, they would have
to be raised in the college district
Including that part of the college dis
trict which contains the Bend district
to make the payments.
Bend district taxpayers would,
then, be reducing their taxes in one
area to raise them in another, which
doesn't make too much sense.
There is, in this situation, a chance
for the Bend district's directors to make
a fine gesture, one which will help the
new college get off to a good start.
The school district, which is the
owner of the property involved, should
go over its inventory.
Equipment now being used by the
district-sponsored college, and which is
. surplus to high school needs at the
present time, should be given, or sold
for a very nominal sum if a gift is not
legal, to the college district when it is
formed.
Equipment which Is used jointly,
or which would have to be purchased
anew by the district for high school
purposes, should be retained.
There will, we feel, bo few who can
argue with such a solution. The school
district's directors should make it prior
to the college election, so voters in the
enlarged college district will know the
decision.
What's the actual danger from fallout?
A few of our "fallout-happy" resi
dents are upset about the radioactive
dust expected to hit the earth next
spring as a result of the current series
of Soviet tests.
To listen to them talk, you'd think
we were going to develop into a race
of mongoloids, three or four genera
tions from now, as a result of the fall
out Of course, each of us Is exposed,
constantly, to a certain amount of-radiation
from natural sources In rocks,
soil, etc.
Natural radiation, so far, amounts
to about 33 times as much as we receive
from fallout. Fallout is about the same
amount, measured In terms of radia
tion, as we receive from our television
sets.
We've heard no one seriously sug
gest we should place all our television
sets underground because of the radio
active danger, although at times there
are other good reasons to do so.
Or take a look at the scientific
analysis of the latest fallout scare in
Japan, as reported in the current Issue
of U. S. News and World Report:
"Radioactivity reported in rain wa
tcr at Fukuoka, Japan, on November 5
was about "10 times higher" than the
highest ever recorded in the U.S. dur
ing atomic tests. Japanese have been
advised not to drink rain water.
"Vet, the officials say, Japanese
who drink the rain water will not get
an appreciable dose of radiation.
"Most of the fission products in Fu
kuoka's water probably arc insoluble,
which means they would pass right
through the gastrointestinal tract of a
human being, not remaining In the
body.
"But even If the particles at Fu
kuoka were soluble, the U. S. experts
say: You could drink and cook with
water like that In Fukuoka every day
for 70 years and get a total radiation
dose of 16 roentgens about equal to
what you can get from 3 or 4 dental
X rays."
WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND
FHA official lost $7000
to San Diego builder
No fax line-up at the courthouse
For the first in the memory of
man, there was no long line-up at the
courthouse this year on the last day to
pay taxes with the statutory discount.
His Nibs, Sheriff Sholes, attri
butes this to the efficiency of his tax
department, which got tax bills out
nsiderably earlier than usual this
year.
lie refuses to consider the pos
sibility that laxpayers this year, many
of them faced with the highest bills of
all time, didn't really fool they were
getting the bargain they had received
In ycara past.
By Draw Pearson
WASHINGTON James B.
Cash, Jr., deputy commissioner of
the Federal Housing Administra
tion, It has just been learned, lost
$7,000 to a San Diego home build
er in an all-night poker game. Un
able to pay the debt, Cash gave
an IOU, which a real-estate lob
byist in Washington arranged to
have torn up.
The incident occurred at the
Home Builders I960 convention in
Chicago before Cash was appoint
ed by Kennedy to be FHA deputy
commissioner, and there is no evi
dence that Cash gave any favors
to the builder who forgave his
$7,000. However, officials are in
clined to take a dim view of any
FHA official who becomes indebt
ed, directly or indirectly, to a
home builder who necessarily
must come to the FHA for hous
ing loans.
Cash was staff director of the
Senate Housing Subcommittee at
the time he lost the $7,000 a
position which put him in a spot
where he could influence legisla
tion vital to home builders.
He joined a group of San Diego
builders who were drinking and
playing cards. For 12 hours Cash
steadily lost money. As the night
wore on, everyone dropped out of
the game except Robert Spillane,
young builder of the Sunshine
Parks housing development In San
Diego.
Cash kept doubling his bets to
win back his losses, but the cards
ran against him. Finally he signed
an IOU for $7,000 and went to bed.
Later, Joe McGratii, Washing
ton lobbyist for the National As
sociation of Home Builders, talked
to Charles Taylor, director of the
San Diego Building Contractors
Association, about the IOU.
Taylor managed to obtain the
IOU and tore it up in front of
Cash.
Taylor dismissed the whole inci
dent as a lark.
We were just clowning
around," he told Jack Anderson
when questioned on behalf of Uiis
column.
Spillane Insisted to Anderson
that it was his idea to cancel Uie
$7,000 gambling debt.
No one was in the game to
win or lose any money," he said.
Learned His Lesson
We weren't trying to fleece
anyone. It was In this spirit that
we talked it over the next day,
and I decided to forget the debt
Cash explained to Jack Ander
son that ho had been drinking
heavily.
"I don't have the kind of money
that I can afford to lose that
much," he said. "If I had been
sober, I would have known bet
tor."
Ho acknowledged that McGrath
had taken him down to see Tay
lor, that Taylor had torn up the
IOU.
"Chuck (Taylor) gave me a lec
ture on gambling as he tore it up,"
Cash remarked ruefully.
He insisted that he not only had
learned his lesson but that he had
done no favors for the builders
who had forgiven his $7,000 loss
es. He also claimed that lie had
made no concessions to McGrath
in drafting housing legislation.
Botli points are substantiated by
others.
Cash has had a good record up
lo Uie night of the gambling inci
dent and since. Ho began his
career in housing as an FHA mes
senger, roso to become deputy
commissioner after an Interlude
on Capitol Hill. He was support
ed for the job by Sens. William
Ftilbright of Arkansas and John
Spademan of Alabama, with
whom he had an excellent record
while working in the Senate.
Abusive Texas Publisher
Ted Dealey, publisher of the
Dallas News, who told President
Kennedy to his face that he was
"running tho country as if riding
on Caroline's tricycle," has an in
teresting background. On one oc
casion in Dallas he was arrested
for "drunk and disorderly con
duct, aggravated, and tor use
of abusive language." He paid
fines of $35.
Some newspaper publishers who
were present at the Texas press
luncheon given for them by Ken
nedy resent the abusive language
used by Dealey lo the President
of live United Si.-tes.
Dealy'a arrest look place on
Paklawn Avenue, In Dallas on
March S, 1054, when, according
to police records, a Cadillac driv
en by Trudy Uwellyn Dealy (Mrs.
Dcalevi struck a 51 Nash convert
ible. Mrs. Dealey, according to
the police complaint, was listed as
having "strong alcoholic breath,
thick speech, and staggering
walk.
The publisher of the Dallas
News, according to arresting offi
cer, "cursed Ihe complainant and
threatened lo strike him." Dealey
called Oflicer II. II. Stringer
"A and and said he
would whip his if he would
take his uniform off." At the po
lice station, acfonllnj to the po
lice charge sheets. Iealcy "call
ed officer a no good b ."
Mrs. Dealey, according to tlie
charge sheet, was charged with
calling one officer a "lying b "
and ."
According (o one witness, a
wjiran In the Dealey car kept
shouting- vYou can't arrest him.
He's Ted Dealey and owns half
of Dallas."
The Dealey Cadillac was "re
moved'' by Felix Mcknight, then
I managing editor ol Uie Dallas
News, now editor of the Dallas
Times-Herald.
When McKnlght was queried
about the matter some time ago,
he indignantly declined to comment.
"What Is your interest In this
thing?" ho asked. "What do you
expect to get out of It?"
When Dealey himself was quer
ied some time ago, he said: "Who
are you to be interested In this?"
He added that he would not talk
about it any further, he had com
pany, and also a dog that was
whelping. Asked for an interview
at his office when he was not busy
with lu's dog, Dealey replied: No.
You had better watch your step."
Six days after his arrest, the
Texas publisher paid his fines.
But he didn t have to go to police
headquarters. A member of the
Dallas Police Department came to
his office to pick up Uie money.
Note On March 4, the morn
ing after Dealey's arrest, the Dal
las News carried no mention of
the drunk and disorderly charge
against him. But it did carry an
editorial, obviously written ear
lier, devoted to traffic safety and
Uie evils of drink, together with
this message of civic piety: "In
Dallas, traffic enforcement was
hot In February. W'Jl It be hot in
March?"

Walker may
be called
as witness
WASHINGTON (UPD-A Senate
subcommittee's decision to post
pone hearings on muzzling of mili
tary officers does not rule Out Uie
possible appearance of former
Maj. Gen. Edwin A. Walker as
a witness.
Chairman John C. Stennis, D-
Miss., of the Senate preparedness
investigating subcommittee, an
nounced Monday that the group
wan postponing its hearings from
a tentative dato of Nov. 27 until
sometime in January.
The door was stiU open for a
possible appearance by Walker.
Walker, a central figure in Uie
furor over charges that military
officers were gagged in their pub
lic remarks, resigned from the
Army last month and refused Uie
$12,000-a-year retirement pay for
which he could apply. He an
nounced the retirement in a long
statement to the subcommittee.
The Stennis group originally
told Walker he could testify in
person or submit a statement, or
both.
Subcommittee sources said Uie
statement did not rule out the pos
sibility Uiat Walker might not
take the witness stand, oiuier at
his own request or Uio subcom
mittee's, when Uie hearings begin
next year.
Stennis did not ray so in his
postponement announcement, but
it was believed Uiat one major fac
tor in the postponement was Uie
difficulty in assembling a majority
of Uie subcommittee before Con
gress reconvenes.
Man admits he
aided escapee
PORTLAND (UPI) Dennis A.
Darragli, 31, said Moivlay he
helped two county jail prisoners
after they escaped because one

In Uie escape of James R. Molder
and Robert G. Black from the
Multnomah County jail July 22.
Ho was sentenced to six months
in jail.
Darragli admitted ho loft blan
kets and shotgun shells for Mold
er and Black.
The drop was mado along rail
road tracks near Troutdalc five
days later. Police staked out Uie
drop and caught up wiUi the two
escapees.
Molder was shot and killed
when he attempted to ran. Black
was captured and returned to
jail.
Darragli said Molder saved his
life nine years ago in Tajunga
Canyon, near Hollywood. Calif.,
when Darragli was bitten by a

Evidence seen
of growing rift
between Reds
By Phil Newsom
UPI Staff Writer
Evidence continues to accum
mulate that Uie split between Mos
cow and Peiping not only is real
but is proving difficult to me
diate. The latest evidence comes in
Peiping's belated publication of
a speech delivered by Albanian
Communist strongman Gen. En
vcr Hoxha Nov. 7 violently at
tacking Nikita Khrushchev.
The publication also provides
new evidence of a curious twist
taken in Uie quarrel between the
two giants of the Communist
world Khrushchev's Uieory of
coexistence with capitalism vs.
Mao Tse-tung's insistence on vio
lent revolution.
This makes tiny Albania the
sounding board for both in a
quarrel which more and more is
siiaping up as one over leader
ship of world communism.
So, when Khrushchev calls for
Uie overthrow of Hoxha, ho ac
tually is calling for repudiation
of Mao.
When Hoxha accuses Khrush
chev of betraying communism
and attempting to dethrone Len
in, he is speaking for Mao.
Peace Efforts Made
Last week Uiere were inclica
Uons Uiat attempts were being
made to patch things up.
Communist North Vietnam
President Ho Chi Minh stopped
over in Peiping after a lengthy
meeting with Khrushchev in
Moscow.
While the Pieping talks were
going on. Red China refrained
from publishing Iloxlia's Nov. 7
speech.
But wiUi its belated publica
tion, the truce was off.
The Sino-Soviet quarrel, which
is one concerning method rather
than Uie ultimate goal of world
domination by communism, may
be said to have started in 1956
with Khrushchev's denunciation of
Stalin at Uie party's 20th con
gress in Moscow.
It began coming into the open
after Uie summit meeting of
world Communist leadors in Bu
charest in June, I960, and be
came generally known after fail
ure of a similar conference in
Moscow in November, I960.
China Rebuked Khrushchev
When, at Uio 22nd congress last
October Khrushchev vented his
special anger on Albania for fail
ure to follow his anti-Stalin line,
Red China rebuked him for drag
ging family quarrels into the
open. Shortly afterward. Red Chi
nese delegate Cliou En-lai left for
home.
Iloxlia's follow-up attack on
Khrushchev in his Nov. 7 speech
was among Uie most violent ever
to be publicized outside Uie Iron
Curtain.
Building permit
increase noted
Building permits increased in
Bend in October, 1961, compared
to October, 1960, Uie University of
Oregon Bureau of Business Re
search has reported.
In October, 1961. Uie total was
$99,740, compared to $58,250 ill Uie
same month Inst year.
Building permiLs from 147 identi
cal reporting centers in Oregon
totaled $18,935,927 in October. 1961.
which was 4 3 per cent lower than
in October, 1960.
