Tito Strengthens
Armed Forces
Belgrade, Yugoslavia, Oct. 31
tlT) Premier Marshal Tito has
strengthened his armed forces in
recent weeks as a defensive
measure, against a background
of heightening war of words
with Moscow and the comin
form. Tito has bolstered hli army
with a regular autumn call-up of
recruits. He also has returned to
service a number of reserve of
ficers, technicians and special
ists. However, this does not
amount to a general mobiliza
tion of reserves.
Toto has declared his army
must remain in a state of alert,
saying that hostile comihform
countries have been "rattling
their arms" at Yugoslavia's bor
ders. Under these circumstances,
the steps taken can best be de
scribed as preparedness against
the possibility that Russia might
order her satellites, and even
possibly her own soldiers, Into
Yugoslavia. ,
A call-up of recruits at this
time of year is customary.
Nehru Window
Shops in 'Frisco
San Francisco, Oct. 30 Wi
Window shopping in a land of
plenty with a very thin inter
national pocketbook. That's
about the position of India's
prime minister, Jawaharlal Neh
ru, on his tour of the United
States. India is rich in rupees,
Britain owes her a fortune in
Dounds sterling, but she is
short of dollar credits.
Nehru has more than one
thing in mind. He is appraising
the American standard of pros
perity, and probably Judging
how much of it would be practic
able and desirable for his coun
try. His tour brought him here
last night for a three day visit
The Indian statesman is a bit
paternal in his love of India and
his people. He sees no reason
why they should not be entitled
to the best. He has experienced,
now, the bounty that Ameri
cans enjoy. There can be little
doubt that he will go home grim
ly determined that if Indians
work for it, they can build a
comparable enonomy and that
they shall work for it.
Nehru is a stubborn, never-
give-up worker with a great ca
pacity for firing enthusiasm. He
is an impatient man, but a prac
tical one.
Through most of his adult life
he has been a man in a hurry.

School Finances
Declared 'Mess'
Albany Tangled finances of
Crowfoot school district No. 89
were in no way unraveled by
an opinion received Saturday by
County School Superintendent
J. M. Bennett, given at the re
quest of District Attorney Mel
vin Good through whom it was
relayed.
The ruling leaves the Crow
foot district owing $19,536.19 in
unpaid warrants and with no
immediate provision for paying
them.
The district's deficit, attrib
utable to expenditures in excess
of the district s budget appropri
ations over a period of two
years, was originally $26,536.19.
It included a $7,346.75 deficit
carried over from the 1947-48
school year, incurred with no
provision for its coverage, and
$16,664.27 more incurred simi
larly last year, plus a failure of
estimated receipts to material
ize.
The district attorney was
asked by Superintendent Ben
nett whether or not the Crow
foot district could apply cur
rent receipts toward reducing
this deficit and it not, who is
responsible for their payment.
The attorney general's opinion
stated that money raised for a
specific purpose cannot be used
for some other purpose.
On the question as to whether
or not receipts as listed in the
1949-50 budget and those from
the rural school district be used
only for Items of expenditures
budgeted, plus the $7,000 al
lowed by the rural school dis
trict board, the opinion was in
the affirmative.
J The unpaid warrants are fori
the most part held now by the
( First National bank of Portland,
The Crowfoot board of direc
tors now includes Nels Erickson,
chairman, and Frank Steen,
clerk.
During the 1948-49 year
Wayne Oakley was chairman
and Lloyd A. Lyon, clerk. C. M.
Price, recently discharged,
Crowfoot principal, was clerk,
however, for a part of the year.
