Dy 200 persons, the school board accepted resignations, effective at the end of the school year, from Supt. James Cummings and Prin cipal J. Clyde Akcy. The dispute came into the open a week ago when Cummings charged Akey with inefficiency and demanded his resignation. Akey submitted his resignation, but the board refused to accept it. The board told Cummings that Akey's resignation would be ac cepted only if Cummings also re signed. Board members added they would prefer both men to stay. Cummings said that was impos sible: one or both would have to go. At Wednesday night's meeting, there were speeches from the floor in behalf of each man. Sentiment appeared evenly divided. Board Chairman Leo Sparks then announced that to avoid a split in the community, the board had de cided to accept resignations from both men. Sfeenr Hatfield to Join in Meat Bill Compulsory state meat inspec tion is sought in a bill to be in troduced by Sens. W. Lowell Steen, Milton-Frcewater, and Mark Hat field, Salem. Steen said Oregon had 133 slaugh tering plants which aren't under federal inspection. The bill calls for a -400,000 ap propriation. Steen said that some plants "are turning out products from meat w hich should be condemned, rather than directed into trade channels for human consumption." He added that state inspection "is the only means of insuring disease-free meat supplies for the consumer and assist the cattlemen to maintain high standards of meat quality."

N While the number of cases pre sented for determination by the circuit courts has not increased as rapidly as has been the case on the district court level, Mattson states the records do not present a true picture of the situation. In 1948 there were 887 criminal and civil cases in the circuit court department. During 1954 the num ber reached the 1083 mark. How ever, explains Mattson. none of the motions to modify already ex isting divorce cases which are handled by Judge Joseph Felton ,"iCh t3ke "P 8 'arSe part ,f his time, are given separate numbers in the docket. On top of that many juvenile cases are never placed in the written records because of a desire to preserve a clean slate for a youngster who will ultimately become a desirable citizen. Nevertheless determina tion of such cases consumes many hours of consideration on the part of the judge. The district .court load has grown rapidly, the records of the county clerk show. On the crimi nal level the increase from 1948 through 1954 has been 28.21 per cent. The growth has been 24.91 per cent during the same time in connection with civil complaints and in the small claims court the increase was 29.44 per cent. Increasing the limit from $1000 to $2,000 in connection with juris diction of the district court, would decrease the circuit court load, while adding to the burden of the district court. This could elimi nate the probability of securing a fourth circuit court while adding to the necessity of placing a second district judge on the bench, ex plains Mattson. Another factor in the constantly increasing load being shouldered by the clerk's force is the amount of trust funds handled. In this con nection trust funds cover a va riety of subjects. However, the largest single item is that of sup port payments payments made to the woman who receives a decree of divorce and who has custody of minor children. In 1948 the total amount of trust funds carried on the books was $187,374. By 1953 this had in creased to $277,764 and last year it had grown to $446,529. County Clerk Mattson estimates that of the 1954 total, $300,000 in volved support payments. These payments are made to the clerk's office by order of the divorce court. The money, in turn, is paid out to the woman who Has uie care of the children. 1H3DC!!K Only $i5 First Citizens At Woodburn WOODBURN Harold M.

The examiner, Martin S. Ben nett, said the Teamsters should re instate those fired, give them any pay lost, and stop trying to pre vent the workers from joining the Office Employes International Union. Both unions are affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. Five employes were fired last summer and the examiner found that the firings were an unfair labor practice stemming from the Teamsters' effort to force clerical workers in the Teamsters' Build ing to join a catch-all local.

The examiner said, too, that John J. Sweney,director of the Western Conference of Teamsters and in direct charge of Local 2.13. should "cease and desist from in ducing prospective witnesses at a National Labor Relations Board proceeding to change their testi mony and to absent themselves from such proceedings." He said Sweeney not only tried to get a witness to change testimony, but to go on a long trip so she wouldn't be available to testify at the NLRB hearing.
