Board members will be named in two of the seven zones into which the district is divided. In each case voters will find a sin gle candidate. Carl Klippel is run ning for re-election in zone four and Mrs. Shirley Susac is a candi date in zone one to succeed Jack Staton. In the budget election voters will ballot on the amount of the 1963-64 budget which is outside the six per cent tax limitation. This is a figure of $349,119.12. Superintendent R, E. Jewell has estimated that if the state legisla ture should fail to increase state basic school support, taxpayers here will find that the new school budget will have increased their taxes by about 1.3 mills. Could be Lower However, should any of the bills under consideration at Salem be approved, he said, the additional state money would result in a low er millage for budget purposes than in the present year. The total tax levy required for general fund purposes in the 1963 64 budget is $1,277,196.26. This compares with a levy figure in one current budget of $1,219,923. 48. As in recent years, a sizable chunk of the increase must be at tributed to the district's "explod ing" school population. THE BEND BULLETIN 60th Year twenty Six Pages CENTRAL OREGON'S DAILY NEWSPAPER Bend, Deschutes County, Oregon, Friday, May 3, 1963 Ten Cents No. 126 Sharp internal fighting breaks out in Haiti SANTO DOMINGO. Dominican Republic (UPD Sharp internal fighting was reported in Haiti today. Dominican President Juan Bosch again, warned the neighbor ing country he would go to war to halt any new aggression against his country. Reports from Haitian sources said at least 45 of President Fran cois Duvalier's Ton Macoute (bogeymen) were killed Thursday night in a skillful ambush laid by resistance leader Clement earaoi. Heavy firing of automatic weap ons and at least five grenade ex plosions were said to have been heard on Port-au-prince ouiskiits. Bosch, meanwhile, sought col lective i n t e r-American action against the Duvalier regime, Bosch called Duvalier ' a men tally sick man" Thursday night and cited a statement Wednesday by the Haitian president that only God could remove him from Dower. A fact-finding team of the Or- conization of American States (OAS) flew to Santo Domingo from the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince Thursday, leaving be hind a country gripped by lear that Duvalier would resume a vio lent campaign against his ene- . mies. May Not Wait Bosch told foreign correspond ents in his presidential residence Thursday night that the Domini- ran Republic would not wait for OAS action in the event of re newed Haitian aggression. "The next time Haiti commits aggression against us, we will tell the OAS what our course of ac tion has been, not from the Do minican capital but from the capi tal of a neighboring nation," he said. Haiti and the Dominican Repub lic share the Caribbean island of HisDaniola. Bosch's statement indicated Do minican forces would invade Haiti and try to crush Duvalier's auto cratic regime. Warns Against Aggression Th Dominican president said he would act if Haiti committed "any agression against any Dominican citizen, interest or place, a plot acainst our government any ac tivity dedicated to prejudice the Dominican Republic, its interests or Its nationals." He said his government will ask the OAS for a collective break with Haiti under provisions of the Rio Treaty of Inter-American Defense which already has been invoked by the OAS in send ing the fact-finding team to Haiti to study Dominican charges. "We will make the request as soon as the investigative commit tee reports," Bosch said. DOW JONES AVERAGES By United Press International now Jones final stock averages in industrials 718.08. off 3.01: 20 railrnaris 164.33. off 0.43: 15 Utili- Enrollment increases in the past five years have been running between five and six per cent. Jewell has estimated that enroll ment in the Bend schools next year will be 3,746, compared with 3,550 this year. New Teachers Needed The anticipated increase has necessitated the hiring of 11 new teachers for the system, thereby adding somewhere in the neigh borhood of $55,000 to the new bud get. In addition the district has hired a principal for Reid-Thomp-son School to replace Orval Boyle, who becomes principal next fall of the Bear Creek elementary school. Total cost of instruction in the new budget is $1,390,975, which represents approximately 72 per cent of the total budget. In this respect, the local district is in line with the state-wide average which is currently 71.2 per cent. Other factors adding to "the high er figure for instruction include a $100 increase in the base salary for teachers and continuation and expansion of a number of pro grams designed to improve the quality of education afforded youngsters of the district. New Texts Due Adoption of new English text books for elementary classes has required inclusion of a $10,000 figure in the instruction category of the budget. Among other items in the new budget is provision for a school bus, which will help alleviate crowding and provide for the add ed student load. The budget com mittee included $10,000 for this bus and it is hoped that a suit able used one can be obtained. The district has had good success with several used buses purchased in recent years. The new budget will also in clude under capital outlay a sum of $5,000 for the possible acquisi tion of building sites, as well as a $5,000 emergency fund, new this year. An increase of $24,000 in tne budget for operation of plant can be attributed laregly to tne addi tional load resulting from new construction, which will add ap proximately a third to the size of the high school plant ana con struction of the new Bear Creek Grade School. 5 Polling Places Voters on Monday will cast bal lots at five polling places.

DEANICE HIGGINBOTHAM SUE FANCHER CATHY JOHNSON '-tiff $ 1 . 1 fs-W LF ft A SANDRA MOREHOUSE Financier's son, Gigi Graham wed MONTR EUX, Switzerland (UPD Evangelist Billy Graham today gave his 17-year-old daugh ter in marriage and also per formed the ceremony which made her the bride of the heir to one of Switzerland's largest fortunes. Graham, lean after his recent illness but looking tanned, walked down the aisle of Montreux' Pro testant Cathedral at 3 p.m. with his daughter Virginia "Gigi" to her husband on his arm. Waiting for them at the altar was Stephan Tchividjian, 23, son of an Armenia-born financier. He became a Protestant after read ing one of Graham's books. Then Graham switched from his role as father of the bride to that of minister and officiated over the ceremony which made Tchi vidjian and his honey-blonde daughter husband and wife. More than 750 Negroes nabbed during protest BIRMINGHAM, Ala. CUPI) - Police arrested more than 750 Negroes here Thursday in the larg est mass demonstration protesting segregation ever held in the United States. Jamie Moore, chief of police in this Deep South industrial center, said a Negro leader had warned him officers could plan on arrest ing 4,000 Negroes today. At least 2,000 Negroes were milling in the streets at the height of the protest wnicn ap parently was triggered by the command of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the best-known civil rights leader in the nation. Authorities said none of the Negroes posted bond and all spent ; the night- in jail. Wave after wave of singing and chanting Negroes, many of them hooky-playing juveniles, converged on the downtown area. The Negroes were herded into school buses when officers ran out of paddy wagons and were hustled off to city jail which already was crowded with Negroes arrested in earlier and smaller demonstra tions. Motorcycle patrolmen at one point raced their vehicles over curbs and onto sidewalks to run down and arrest a group of marchers who had attempted to flee. There were no reported inci dents of violence. Although police obviously had been tipped off of the demonstra tion, they apparently were unpre pared for a protest of the size that developed. Police were still booking dem onstrators past midnight. Four busloads of demonstrators were still waiting to be charged at midnight. Alabama having racial incident BULLETIN BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (UPI) Police today turned fire hoses on hundreds of cheering Negroes who gathered In a city park prior to staging another segregation pro test march. Many in the crowd were young children.

JUDI SKORPEN Kozlov reported to have suffered 2nd heart attack Possible TFX plan offered by McClellan WASHINGTON (UPI) Sen. John L. McClellan said today a runoff competition to see which of two competing aircraft firms can produce Uie best TFX fighter might be in "the public interest." The Arkansas Democrat, chair man of the Senate investigations subcommittee, made the state ment as it was disclosed that an other Senate subcommittee was looking into a similar situation in which Pentagon civilian leaders awarded a plane contract over ob jections of military officials. Chairman John C. Stennis, D Miss., of the Senate preparedness subcommittee, said a staff study had begun into programs Involv ing new high-speed planes capa ble of taking off vertically or from short runways. McCellan, who has been head ing a lengthy investigation of the TFX controversy, also challenged Defense Secretary Robert S. Mc Namara's contention that building one TFX for both the Air Force and Navy would save $1 billion. McCellan declared It sounded to him like "propaganda being thrown all over the country to try to sustain tins rough judgment decision that has been made in volving the security of our coun try and its safety." McClellan's group is investiga ting the award of the multibillion dollar contract to General uy- n amies Corp., instead of Boeing Co. Stennis said his new inquiry would involve research, and de velopment contracts for VTOL (vertical takeoff or landing) and STOL (short takeoff or landing) Action halts executions in California I T1 i y i , -iff jm lAllLd BEDRI SAAD " "x , Hi' '. 1 YAA n t--- .r to w . 3 V f It . Cil MERLE E. POLAND Kiwanians set conference here MOSCOW (UPD Deputy Com munist party leader Frol Kozlov, 55. the man Premier Nikita Khru shchev has dubbed as his succes sor, was reported today to have suffered his second heart attack. The report came from usually well-informed Eastern European sources. They said ho is in "seri ous condition. ' This would explain Kozlov's mysterious absence from the huge May Day parade two days ago at which Cuban Premier ficici Castro stood by Khrushchev's side. Kozlov has not appeared in pub lic here since early Apil. If he is ill, as reported, pre sumably he is in a local clinic or resting at home. Western diplomats speculated that Khrushchev might have been referring to Kozlov s health when he stressed in a speech last month the fact that he now is 69 and cannot expect to continue forever to hold the top jobs of premier and party chief. At that time the premier called for obedience to the party's ruling Central Committee and its elected leaders. Diplomats here believe the suc cession race behind Khrushchev, in the event Kozlov might be forced out by illness, would be wide open. There are no other clear-cut candiates at the moment and no indication anyone could hold both top jobs successfully as Khrush chev has. Neither Stalin nor Lenin before him succeeded in designating their successors. Search for child is called off LONGVIEW, Wash. (UPD The official search for three- year- old Ricky Krugle was called off Thursday after an estimated 1.000 officers and volunteers failed to find any trace of the child. Cowlitz County Sheriff Merle Bcvins said a private search by volunteers probably would con tinue. The child disappeared Tuesday evening from his home about one half mile from the Cowlitz River.

He said one facet on the pre- Daredness subcommittee staff m- ouiry involved a contract award ed by the Pentagon to Bell Aero space Corp. He said the Navy had recommended that the award go to Douglas Aircraft Co. The Navy decided that Douglas' research and development pro grams for the planes were supe rior to Bell lrom the standpoints of both cost and technical fea tures, Stennis said. The so-called VTOL and STOL planes differ from helicopters in that they are designed to rise sharply from the ground and then, usually by changing the engine thrust from vertical to horizontal, becoming high-speed planes. Plays please Bend audience By Gerald Drapeau Bulletin Staff Writer A heart-tugging drama and a plotless but amusing comedy pleased an audience last night al Bower's Studio, when Bend Com munity Players gave their third performance of a current double bill. The show will be repeated Sat urday and Sunday nights, starting at 8:30. The one-act plays are per formed in the round, with a cof fee period at intermission contri buting to a feeling of informality and audience participation. The natural British accents of George Churchill and Brenda Hall add flavor to a London drawing room setting in which Noel Cow ard's "Hands Across the Sea" is presented. The play concerns an upper middle class English couple who get themselves involved In a frus trating mixup of guest Identifica tions. Appealing in her role as the scatterbrained Lady Maureen Gilpin is Sylvia Bleything. "The Valiant," written by Hol worthy Hall and Robert M.

(UPI) Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas granted a stay of execu tion to three convicted murderers today little more than two hours before they were scheduled to en ter California s gas chamber. The death sentence of a fourth man, Charles J. Golston, 21, also slated to die in what was to have been the state's first quadruple execution, was commuted Thurs day night by Gov. Edmund G. Brown. Douglas' stays were for Joseph Rosoto, 39; John F. Vlahovich, 31, .and Donald G. Franklin, 34, all condemned for the gang slaying of an Anaheim, Calif., tavern operator. Douglas said their execution would be held up until after th high court has decided two cases It now has under advisement. Then, he said lawyers could sub mit memoranda in the case of the threo men. Men Informed Associate Warden Dale Frady in formed the three men of Douglas' action at B:15 a.m. PDT in a wait ing cell adjoining the gas chamber. All three exclaimed, "Thank God," according to Frady. Then, Vlahovich said. Yon wouldn't kid me, would you. War den?"

' -' - - ' ' - - Fifteen demonstrators, including nine men and six women, wet arrested Thursday night for refus ing to break a human chain across the road leading to the prison. Triggered by Panic , Brown, an outspoken opponent of capital punishment, said Col ston's conviction was based on a killing which occurred in the com mission of a felony and "was a senseless one triggered by panic which I am convinced was not premeditated or planned in the true sense of the word." Attorneys for Golston, convicted of raping and slaying a 79-year-old Los Angeles woman, argued that he had schizophrenic tenden cies and abnormal sexual drives. Prison authorities said that Gol ston. when informed that his sen tence had been commuted to life in prison without possibility of pa role, managed a grinning, "Thank you." But the governor refused clem ency for the other three men, call ing their crime "cold-blooded murder." Two developments tied to Benham area reported tics 139.61, up 0.52, and w siocxs iiiteiim.

This project would include a by pass of some of the Deschutes River flow around the areas of heavy Ions in the region below Benham Falls and in the Lava Is land area. Two surveys for this proposed by-pass have been made. One plan would divert water from the Deschutes in the Benham Falls area and move it over the Lava Butte lava flow to the vicinity of the present Central Oregon Irriga tion District diversion. The second survey extends from Uie Benham Falls area closely hugging Uie river edge to the present COI canal. Lands involved in the partial revocation withdrawal include the upriver area set aside by depart ment order on July 23, 1913, for the Columbia Southern Project, now the Deschutes project.
