$717,475 Over 6 Percent
Limit Necessary to Schools
Approval by the voters at Friday's special election of a Salem
school district budget that exceeds the 6 percent limitation by
(717,475 is necessary if the school plant is not to deteriorate,
In the opinion of Donald A. Young, chairman of the board.
"Speaking from the standpoint of a citizen as well as a mem
ber of the board, I naturally dis-
like seeing an additional tax'"'ement funds made necessary
burden placed upon property," bv lhe recent action of the state
said Chairman Young. "But, if
the voters reject the budget it
will simply mean that we will
have to suspend repairs and
betterments to the plant which
re badly needed."
The chairman said refusal of
the taxpayers to favor a propos
ed $3,000,000 bond Issue two
years ago is really responsible
for the present situation. With
the amount cut in half, the
board of directors did not have
sufficient funds with which to
finance the construction of ad
ditional buildings while carry
ing out a maintenance program
that had been held in abeyance
during the war years.
Chairman Young said the tax
burden cannot continue to spiral
upward without endangering the
economy of the community.
But, he added, rejection of the
budget will not be true econ
omy, since school property will
deteriorate.
The school administration
urns up the need for the budg
et which is $271,120 in excess
of last year's amount over the
aix percent limitation, in part

Washington You don't have to have painted lips, red finger
nails and a couple of fistfuls of diamond rings to charge the
hard-boiled press corps of Washington.
A simple gown and a pleasant
smile will do it.
This was proved yesterday by
Mme. Vijayalakshml Pandit of
India, the first woman ever to
come to the United States as a
full-fledged ambassador.
'The madame," as everybody
respectfully called her, held her
first press conference here. She
received about half a hundred
of the guys and gals in the poor
ly-lit state room of the Indian
chancery on Massachusetts
avenue.
The ambassador was dressed
in a white-dotted gown, over
which she draped a purple or-

gandy sari which ruffled down
to cover her tan sandals. She
didn't look at all like the Far
East. Her lips were a natural
color and so were her finger
nails and cheeks. Her pretty
gray hair had a bluish tinge, in
dicating she had been to an
American hair dresser since her
arrival a few days ago.
Mme. Pandit, one of India's
foremost national leaders, cut
her eye teeth politically in a lot
of places where you'll find
Americans, including the U. N.
She has three daughters who
received their education at Wel
lesley college which is not
located in India.
Her English if almost flaw
less. She spoke with only the
very slightest1 accent and pitch
ed it back overhand to those
hard-boiled correspondents who
tried to trip her up.
There were a lot of questions
about how India feels about the
I Russian situation. She drummed
a pink, nickel pencil on her desk
and said "Well, that depends."
"The communist party in my
country," she said, "is no partic
ular menace. It's more of a
nuisance. There are not enough
of them to be bothersome."
That was telling the snoopy
reporters!
Somebody else wanted to
know if Mme. Pandit thought
the East and West could have a
honeymoon their people living
together in harmony. !
She smiled graciously andi
i answered the question:
"I believe so; eventually."
You could tell she had con
ducted press conferences before
She started off by saying that
she knew many of the reporters
In the room. Many who had
covered India during the war
and after.
She answered the questions
she wanted to answer (like she
said she would at the start) and
brushed off the ones she thought
might grow up to embarrass
her.
A man in the back of the hall
said he was just curious, but
how many months had the
madame spent in jail? That
was easy, she said. She and
her husband had had quite a
time sitting it out for India's
freedom. Twenty-seven months
in the dungeons altogether.
Proud of it, too.
