Crowded school buses worry district board By Bill Yates Bulletin Staff Wrlttr Concern over the number of stu dents who must stand while riding school buses to Bend each day was expressed at last night's meeting of the District No. 1 board. The Issue was raised during detailed report of bus operations by Louis A. Mitchell, transports tion supervisor. The board instructed Mitchell to get from drivers an exact count of the students standing each day over a period of one week, togetlv er with mileage figures to indi cate how many miles each student must stand. Director Richard Wayman pointed out to the board that in Washington a state law prohibits students from standing while rid' ing buses. Board chairman Bert Hagen not ed that the need for additional buses was a long-time problem in the Bend area. He recalled that previous boards had often sought lunds for new buses at budget time, only to have the proposed Items deleted as the budgets were pared down. No Retirements Due In answer to a question by Ila gen, Mitchell said that he was confident that all 12 buses now in use by the district can be kept in service for next year. This, Hagen (aid, would mean that any buses included in the 1962-63 budget would be additions to the fleet and not replacements. Directors went over with Mitch ell routes and loads for each of the present buses and discussed the possibility of changes which might ease the situation. The possibility of extra runs was men tioned as a partial solution, but di rectors agreed that the real prob lem appeared to be a shortage of buses. The district's 12 buses at present make a total of 17 runs each day and travel approximately 6r0 miles In transporting 1151 students to Bend and home again, accord ing to Mitchell's report. Following Mitchell's presenta tion, the board complimented him for his handling of the district's transportation system. The board also received, a report last night from Mrs. Orval Barf knecht, director of food services. She told directors that she was confident that she would end this year's operation "about the same as last year." Last year, in her first year as director, Mrs. Barflcnecht finished with a balance of $116. Satisfaction Expressed The directors expressed satis faction with Mrs. Barfknecht's handling of the program. Following are the number of students fed lunches at the vari ous schools in the district each noon: Kingston, 60 to 70; Allen, 210 to 240; Kenwood, 120 to 140; Marshall, 20 to 40; Yew Lane, about 40; junior high, 190 to 230; rteid-Thompson. 150 to 170, and Young, about 40. Mrs. Bartknecht repotted that she has 19 employes, most of whom work only a few hours each day. Her only problem, she said, is limit-jd storage space at the sen ior high school, whore all of the food is prepared beforo being transported to the various schools. In other business, the board dis cussed the possibility of a serial levy for building purposes and authorized the district to apply to the Bureau of Land Management for a 40 acre tract about a mile and a half east of Bend on Nnft road which could be used by the district as a possible building silo. It was indicated that the tract might be obtained from the BI.M for between $10 and $15 an acre.

US, revokes passports of several Reds WASHINGTON (UPI) - The State Department has revoked the passports of several top members of the U.S. Communist party, of ficials said today. Among them were Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, 71, national chair man of the party, and James E. Jackson, editor of its news paper, the Worker. Both were delegates to the 22nd Soviet Communist Party Con gress in Moscow last November. The State Department would not say how many other passports were withdrawn. The number was believed to be only a handful. Re vocation notices were mailed out Monday, and the party officials were given 30 days to surrender their passports. The action was taken under the Subversive Activities Control Act of 1950, which requires Communist organizations to register and makes it a crime for membe,s of a group under a final registration order to use or apply for a pass port. The Supreme Court recently up held the registration section of the 1950 law. The State Department, on Jan. 12, issued new regulations denying passports to Communists. Earlier State Department regula tions denying travel documents to Communists had been Invalidated by the Supreme Court. Under the new regulations per sons denied passports are entitled to confront their accusers at a hearing and to be shown the evi dence against them. This portion of the new regula tions created considerable contro versy in Congress. Critics said State Department of ficials might be faced with a choice of divulging secret infor mation to make a passport denial stand, or going ahead and issuing a passport to a Communist. Chairman Francis E. Walter, D-Pa.. of the House Committee on Un-American Activities said his group would propose legislation to revise the State Department regulations. He accused the State Depart ment of ignoring his committee when the department formed the new passport regulations. Court orders another trial in chicken case JACKSON, Miss.
