It's a handsome one-story struc

southeast Bend just off Bear
Creek Road. The facility will cov
er 15,966 square feet, and will
house about 240 students in eight
classrooms.

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

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.

tax bills will be in the mail a

The good news on property tax
es will be offset, however, when
state Income tax forms are filled
out next April.

will be mora than gobbled up by
increases in income taxes, unless,
of course, the initiative movement

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.

Little chance

can be saved
HAZLETON, Pa. (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

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

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.
