As a matter of fact, work men have moved along so rapid ly, school officials anticipate that the structure will be done and rea dy for occupancy by the first day of school. Last year Bend's grade schools suffered some heavy double shift ing: Four rooms at Reid-Thomp-son. two at Alien, one at Mar shall, and one at Kingston. Bear Creek School will relieve the pressure on Allen. Allen, how ever, still will be operating at capacity. Eight teachers plus two Diem declares martial law in crackdown on Buddhist opposition in South Viet Nam SAIGON, South Viet Nam (UPI) President Ngo Dinh Diem de clared martial law throughout South Viet Nam today and sent his heavily-armed troops storming through pagoda headquarters of Buddhist opposition. At least 100 Buddhist monks were arrested in raids carried out under a state of siege decreed by Diem amid reports that a coup d'etat was imminent. In a massive crackdown on anti-government elements, the president appointed a new mili tary governor of Saigon and a new military governor of Saigon and a new chief of staff. He also imposed press censorship. The long-smouldering religious political crisis in this Southeast Asian country exploded suddenly early today when thousands of soldiers and policemen swept into the main Xa Loi pagoda and rounded up more than 100 monks. The government forces fired pistol shots and used tear gas bombs and hand grenades as they swarmed into the center of Bud dhist opposition lo Dicm's author itarian regime. Raid Other Pagsdas Soldiers also raided at least three other pagodas in the most serious flare-up of violence in the 15-week dispute between the gov ernment and the Buddhist major ity over alleged religious discrim ination. Thousands more troops were deployed at vital points in and around Saigon at the airfield, the national radio building, the presi dential palace, telephone and power stations and road intersec tions. It could not be determined im mediately whether there were any casualties in the raids. The sudden crackdown on anti- government elements took place just a day before the new U. S. 'Hot Shots' sent to Wyoming fire "Hot Shots" from the Redmond Air Center headed by plane Tues day afternoon for Cody, Wyo., for duty on a fire burning in a high, rugged area of the Shosone National Forest.

Orval Boyle, last year's principal at Reid-Thompson, will be princi pal at Bear Creek. Bear Creek School's erection was contracted at a cost of $210, 700. It is the first new school building in Bend since the con struction of the Bend Senior High School building in 1955. Who will go to school at the new structure? Generally speak ing, the Bear Creek School zone is that area lying east of 10th Street and east of the railroad ambassador to Saigon, Henry Ca bot Lodge, was due here to re place Frederick Nolting. Lodge arrived in Tokyo today en route to Saigon, but refused to com ment on the Vietnamese situation. A presidential decree broadcast by the national radio declared "a state of siege throughout the ter ritory of Viet Nam, beginning from the day of the publication of the decree and continuing until further notice. Warned Of Coup The decree was broadcast just a day after Diem's brother and chief adviser, Ngo Dinh Nhu, was reported to have warned the country's military chiefs that a coup was brewing and ordering them to be on guard. The Buddhists, who cpmprise about 70 per cent of the popula tion, charge they are being per secuted by Diem and his top aides, who are Roman Catholic. The government counter-charge that the Buddhist protests, which have included at least five sui cides by priests, are politically Wild Rivers survey feam visits here A five-man team assigned to a preliminary study in connection with the national Wild Rivers Sur vey was in the Bend area today. to confer with representatives of various agencies and to look over the region. Two Oregon rivers, the Des chutes and Rogue, are included in rivers to be studied, with a view to an appraisal relative to their eventual overall role in the western American picture. In Bend this morning in con nection with the survey were Craig A. Giffen, forester fn:n the San Francisco, Calif., office of the U.S. Forest Service, and Jim M.

The national radio said that under the presidential decree the armed forces are entrusted with Ihe responsibility of preserving public order and security. It said the military was empowered for the duration of the state of siege to: Search houses and arrest all persons whose activities are con sidered harmful to public secur ity. Forbid public gatherings like ly to endanger public order and security. Restrict press freedom and control radio broadcasts, films and theatrical plays. Prohibit the holding and cir culation of all printed materials harmful to public order and se curity. Forecasf has familiar, ring The five-day forecast covering Oregon east of the Cascades has a most familiar ring: "Temper atures averaging below normal.' However, highs may reach into the eighties, in contrast with the chill of the past two days. No frost is in sight. There will be a few showers in the northeastern part of the state. Despite an overcast sky, temp eratures in Bend ropped to 36 de grees last night, following a cool 70 degrees on Tuesday. Rising young Oregon fighter killed in crash near Eugene EUGENE (UPI) Bobby Lee Horn, a fast-rising middleweight boxer from Springfield, was killed when his car slammed into the side of a heavy truck on State Highway 126 near here late Tues day night. The accident occurred only four days before the 22-year-old fight er was to have his 19th profession al bout. Horn, who compiled a spark ling 16-M record in his short career as a pro, was killed in stantly. He was alone in his car. Car Hit Service Truck State police said the fighter's vehicle collided with a Northwest Survey taken, Oct. 15 vote seems certain SALEM (UPP-The 1963 legis lature's $60 million tax increase measure has been referred to a special election Oct. 15 with thousands of signatures to spare, a survey by United Press Inter national revealed today. A check of county clerks in each of Oregon's 36 counties showed more than 21,322 referral petition signatures already have been certified, and more than 8, 115 have been turned in but not yet cheeked. A total of 23,185 signatures are needed before the special elec tion can be called. Anticipating a possible referral of the tax increase package, the legislature set aside $300,000 and the Oct. 15 date for a special election before it adjourned last spring. Clerks in several counties said they expected mora petitions to be turned in. They reported they were finding from SO to 90 per cent of the signatures submitted to be valid. This would mean that the 8,115 still unchecked signatures would produce many more than the total needed to require the special election. When told of the poll results, Gov. Mark Hatfield told UPI "if the remaining signatures are val id, the people will have to face up to the reality of deciding the question of vastly increased prop erty taxes or vastly decreased educational opportunities." Educational groups, organized labor and the Associated Oregon industries are on record as op posed to referral, and a spirited pre-election battle could result over the issue. Circulation of petition was De gun Aug, 6 by J. Francyl How ard, editor of weekly newspapers in Albany and Corvallis.

Millage ratei in both Bend and Redmond have dropped 2.9 mills in Bend and 3.6 mills in Redmond. Valuation is up 7V4 per cent In Bend and 7.8 per cent In Redmond. Work of extending the tax roll Sudden stop brinas rear-end crash Tuesday The trip of a family moving from Empire, in Oregon, to Mich igan ended suddenly on U.S. Highway 20 about seven miles east of Bend Tuesday at 5:15 p.m., result of car sickness and a rear-end collission.

Fight Scheduled Saturday Horn was scheduled to meet J. C. Johnson of Seattle in the 10-round main event of a boxing card at Woodbum Saturday night. He lost his first fight in his last outing, a 10-round decision to Don Fullmer of West Jordan, Utah, at Eugene July 3. Horn, a stocky man with short arms, was noted for his wade-in aggressive style of fighting and his punching ability. Ha is survived by his widow. D(0p s glooin use Solano County officers sent Sheriff Sholes the map, with a let ter requesting his help. Last Fri day, he searched the area, found what turned out to be the right boulder, and went to work with pick and shovel. The spot was about 400 yards uphill from the junction of Vicksburg and Juniper avenues. Sholes unearthed a sack, filled with dirt and coins and contain ing the small bottle of gold nug gets probably an eighth of an ounce of them.

A check representing the coins, and the small bottle of gold, were on their way to Solano County to day. - started this week in the office of Assessor Robert E. Lyons. It must be finished by October 15, and tax bills will be in the mail a week or so later. The good news on property tax es will be offset, however, when state Income tax forms are filled out next April. (Any saving in property taxes will be mora than gobbled up by increases in income taxes, unless, of course, the initiative movement to altar the state legislature's tax program is successful. Should the governor call the legislature back to revise the plan, it is possible that schools will suffer, and more money will have to be raised at the local level.) Comparison Mad Deschutes county's valuation is $36,665,251 this year, compared with $34,094,925 last year. The in crease outside Bend, south to La Pine, is 10 per cent, because of subdivision development. Not everyone will find property taxes lower this year. The levy has doubled in the Tumalo area, where the millare rate for the school district is 15.5, up from 7.5 last year. The levy is $28,255.- 30, up from last year's $12,418.10. The City of Sisters will have a millage rate of 94.8, highest in the county this year. Last year. Sis- tors' rate was 87.4, and Bend, with 93.7, was highest In the coun ty. Valuations in Sisters have in creased three per cent, but have not kept pace with the county as a whole. Lowest Millage Probably the lowest millage rate in the county will be for the portion of Cloverdala outside the fire and Central Oregon Hos pital Districts. This area will pay on the basis of 58 mills per dollar of assessed valuation. Millage rates Included in the to tal tax in all districts are 12 mills for operation of the county, 23.1 mills for the Rural School Dis trict, and 1.7 mills for Central Oregon College. The City of Bend had a mill. age rate of 90.8: the City of Red mond, 79.4. In both cases, slash lng of city budgets kept down the levies for the cities.

(UPI) Rescue workers conceded today they are no closer to bringing out three miners trapped 331 feet un derground than they were nlna days ago when a cave-In en tombed them.- Prospects of getting to one of the men, Louis Bova, 42, were so gloomy that workers tempo rarily have abandoned their at tempts. Bova is separated from David Fellin, 58, and Henry Throne, 28, by a wall of rock and debris. Ha is believed to be injured ana nas gone without food since the ceil ing caved in Aug. 16. his omy sustenance has been the brackish moisture seeping along tha waUs of his chamber. 1 Hope lor Bova was giving way to despair among his closest rel atives. - -. "My brother is going to die," said Peter Bova, 58. "I know it and he knows it. Lou will starve to death before they reach him. But his wife is there and be does not want her to know tha truth. He has been a miner long enough to know tha shape ha is in." Others In Good Shape But Fellin and Throne are known to be In fairly good condi tion despite the bone - chilling dampness. Food and water is lowered to them regularly and they may be able to live through the days and perhaps weeks that may elapse before they can be brought to the surface near this anthracite mining town. Rescue efforts, which must be restarted to reach Fellin and Throne, are confined to driving a foot-wide "contact hole." This "contact hole" only as a means of supplying the two men with food and water until the next phase of the operation ac tually getting rescue workers into tha entrapment, can be started. The 60-ton drilling rig had come to within 138 feet of Fellin and Throne Tuesday but the anticipat ed escape channel had to be abandoned when Fellin reported by telephone that pressure waa causing cracks in the ceiling of their tiny chamber. Hearing held in teacher case OREGON CITY (UPI)-A hear ing was being conducted here to day on whether a 64-year-old Oregon City school teacher would be able to teach her final year before retirement. Mrs. Jewell Joy has been charged with insubordination by the Oregon City School Board. She has taught at the Eastham elementary school for 19 years and has been a teacher since 1923. Mrs. Joy was charged by at torney Lowell Njust, counsel for the school board, with criticizing Supt. Edwin Ditto, principals and teachers. Mrs. Joy, through her attorney, James O. Goodwin, denied the 25 charges brought against her in the hearing which started Tues day. Goodwin said the board's charges against her, with indica tions she might not be rehired, were made known to her July 20. He said that If tjie board were going to fire her she should have been notified March 15. at the end of her three-year contract She said teaching the additional year before retirement would in crease her teaching retirement benefits from $100 to $110 per month.
