Unl.. of Oregon Library t;ULISN2, OREGON Outdoor play facilities . . . ...n spotlight at meeting Board takes note of sports editors barbs By Bill Yates Bulletin Stiff Writer Recent criticism in The Bulle tin of outdoor sports facilities maintained by the Bend school district was discussed at last night's meeting of District No. 1 directors. Author of the criticism was Bill Thompson, Bulletin sports editor, who detailed his charges in an article and pictures in last Wed nesday's issue of The Bulletin and further elaborated on them in a two-page letter to board. Thompson, who attended last night's meeting, was particularly critical of the condition of the ten nis court area at the junior high school, although he included sev eral other school play areas in his letter, which was read to the board by Chairman Bert Hagen. In discussing the tennis courts. Thompson noted that a metal ten nis net last week lay "broken and neglected on the ground," that two other courts were without nets, and that the net for the fourth sagged and was in need of repair. He also called attention to the poor condition of basketball hoops and nets. Thompson coupled his plea for improved facilities with the ad monition that the playground areas would become increasingly important to youngsters of Bend as the school enrollment climbs. He said that this type of sports activity was vital for those who were not absorbed into the inter school athletic programs. Director Gordon McKay said he had read the article in The Bulle tin and thought it a good one. "I think maybe we've been a little lax," he told his fellow board members. He said he thought it might be desirable next year to make some fered youngsters they should be "correct." Superintendent R. E. Jewell ex plained that the part of the diffi culty at the junior high school courts was due to a delay in ob- improvements at each of the taining new posts for the tennis schools in Bend and suggested that the board keep the matter in mind and consider some addition al funds in next year's budget. Another director, Richard Way man, said that he felt that if cer tain recreation facilities were of- nets. In discussing the situation he said further that the use of metal nets probably should be discontinued. Lack of nets on the basketball hoops was also discussed and it was indicated that action would be taken to repair or install new nets where needed. McKay suggested the possibil ity of tennis courts at the senior high school. A handball court was also mentioned. Following the discussion, Chair man Hagen praised Thompson for his interest in the problem and for the manner in which he pre sented what Hagen termed "con structive criticism."

COC musical opens here Wednesday Do you like baseball? Music? Amusing dialogue? Interior dec orating? Pretty clothes? People? Then you'll like "Damn Yan kees," the show to be presented by Central Oregon College Wed- ', Thursday and f r 1 0 a y nights, under direction of Dallas Quick. Curtain time is 8 p.m., in the Bend High School auditorium. The show has special appeal for several reasons. The orchestra music resembles dance-band style. more than pseudo-symphony. The story is a light-hearted fantasy with lots of laughs. The costumes are colorful and the sets are varied. There's a black and red bou doir, for instance, that would make any woman feel like a devil. Especially if she's a daughter of the devil, like Lola, in a red night ie and a black pegnoir. Some of the before-the-curtain scenes are done against back drops with authentic stadium at mosphere. The settings are sim ple, but effective. There are half a dozen or so "stars." but iust like in baseball the success of the show depends on teamwork. The chorus belts out the songs with the impact of Babe Ruth swatting a homer over the fence. Some of the pinch-hitters are as important to the total as the leading players. Exhibit coincides with production Central Oregon College will pre sent an exhibit, featuring seven artists, in the Bend High School Auditorium the next three eve nings. The exhibit will coincide with the COC show, "Damn Yan kees." The art display is under aus oices of the COC art depart- ment, headed by Ruth Burgder- fer. This is the first time that art and music departments at the cot lege are combined in a joint presentation. Artists whose work will be shown are Kim Austin, Charlene ChoDD. Kay Fish, Dorothy Yeo- mans, Helen Weil, John Wenger, a former COC student, and Mrs. Burgderfcr. WEATHER Mostly fair; highs 58-43; low 25-M. Uik Msntav $1 dcarHI. Low a nominee iot -- .

The 22- ton vessel sank in about 10 min utes, about a quarter mile off shore. All but one of the crew was at the time but roused auicklv at the impact.

Demos show scant interest ingabfest WASHINGTON (UPI) Demo cratic leaders today promised House Republicans all the time they want Wednesday to assail the Democratic record. But tliey made it plain they are not about to stick around the House cham ber all night to listen. Rep. Hale Boggs, D-La the Democratic whip, said no move would be made by administration forces to break up an all-night talkathon at which GOP lawmak ers plan to catalog alleged fail ures of the Kennedy administra tion at home and abroad. But Boggs said the Republicans should not count on much of an audience on the Democratic side of the aisle. From other sources there were Indications there may be as few as two Democrats as signed to hold the fort for the majority party. Rep. Henry D. Reuss, D-Wis., said tlie Republicans would be wasting money and abusing de fenseless House employes it Uiey went tliroueh with their plan. Reuss' criticism was aimed at the plans of about 15 Republicans to deliver a non-stop series of one- hour speeches starting Wednes day afternoon. The Republicans were set to keep talking until dawn Thursday in what the GOP called its "spring thaw" to "cut away the snow job the administration has been pil ing on the American people through its blizzards of propa ganda." Reuss said the Republicans should show their concern for the people "by not conducting this marathon at the taxpayers' ex pense." He estimated printing costs for the speeches would come to $19, 110 for the Congressional Record, and paying employes overtime would add another $1,108. In addi tion there would be extra utilities for which he had no estimate. day to agree to a safeguarded nuclear test ban. Otherwise, they said, this country will have no al ternative but to resume atmos pheric tests. The joint plea was issued si multaneously by the White House and read before the House o( Commons by British Prime Min ister Harold Macmillan. It was designed to court world opinion for the Western stand if Russia con tinues adamant on the issue. "There is still time to reach agreement," the statement said. "We continue to hope that the Soviet government may reconsid er their position and express their readiness to accept the, principle of international verificalion." In addition to the joint state ment, Macmillan sent a message (o Soviet Premier Nikita Khrush chev asking him to give "the most urgent consideration" to the appeal. The prime minister also told the House of Commons that he could not and would not ask Kennedy to defer tests unless Russia ac cepts the latest Western proposal. He said I cannot ask the pres ident to go on with a vague mora torium and find that there was a third scries of Russian tests which might put us in a very dangerous backward position. The United States is making ar rangements to resume atmospher ic shots In the Facitic later wis month to check out newly devel oped weapons and match report ed gains made by the Soviets in their recent massive test series. Other Statements Planned Officials said other expressions of ureencv similar to today's were expected from London and wasn- i . . . ., i mglon oeiore me new icsis oeuua actually begins. But If there is no change In the present Soviet position," the statement said, the governments of the United States and the Unit ed Kingdom must conclude that their efforts to obtain a workable troaty to ban nuclear tests are not now successful, and the test series scheduled for the latter part of this month will have to go for ward. The Western position is that last fall's Soviet teste make re suirmtion of tests a military ne cessity for the West in the ab sence of any firm tost ban agree ment They feel such an agree ment must Include built-in meas ures against cheating.

The joint 'rejected international inspection or verification inside the Soviet Union to determine the nature of unexplained seismic events which might be nuclear tests."
