A spokesman for a group of the students who joined 600 adult Negroes at a mass rally in Tallahassee Wednesday night said they will continue their pro-integration activities "even if it means quitting school." Among the student rally speakers was Joe Spagna, of all-white Florida State Univer sity. He and two Negro students of Florida A&M University were arrested last week for sitting together on a Tallahassee bus. A Tallahassee court Wednes day set their trials for Jan. 31 Following the arrests and two 51st Year Medford Price 10c Tribune If nil ueasma Wix 8 Paaes MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 24, 1957 Second Section Basic School Support Measure One of 35 Introduced in House Salem 'U.PJ Increasing basic school support from S80 to $120 per census child was pro posed in one of 35 bills dealing mostly with education and high ways introduced in the Oregon House of Representatives yester day. The school support bill which would become effective July 1 was one of three bills recom mended by the School Board Association. It is also backed by Gov. Robert D. Holmes. Six other education bills were introduced at the request of the Interim Committee on Educa tion. District Changes' Aslctd Included was a comprehensive plan for reorganization of school districts through county commit tees of elective school board members. The county committees would be authorized to reorganize dis tricts in accordance with stand ards prescribed by the State Board of Education within 16 months after formation, provid ing the voters approve. A companion bill provides $70,000' from the basic school support furiti to administer the reorganization. Other education bills would lower the percentage of bonded indebtedness allowed various school districts and prescribe uniform procedures for school elections, school meetings, school district organization and consol idation. Highway Mtaiuras Rtad The House Committee on State and Federal Affairs reported out memorials urging federal con struction of John Day dam and federal aid to education with a do pass" recommendation. Thirteen bills requested by the Sfate Highway Commission and approved for introduction by the House Highways committee also were given their first reading. Chief of the bills would au thorize the commission to issue and sell $8 million in bonds to enable the state to participate fully in the federal interstate highway program. Shore Transfer Asked Another would change the state's throughway act to brin it into conformity with federal requirements. A restriction that Neuberger Offers School Aid Bill Washington (U.PJ Sen. Rich ard L. Neubeger (D-Ore.), has introduced a bill for federal aid to school construction which would more than double the ad ministration's proposal. His bill was identical to on, introduced in the House by Rep. Augustine B. Kelly (D-Pa.). It would provide $600 million a year for a five-year program of school construction. President Eisenhower proposed $325 mil lion a year for a four-year pro gram, plus a $750 million fed eral bond purchase program over the four-year period. Neubeger charged that admin istration "tight money" policies boosted interest rates and build ing costs to the point that fin ancing new schools from local sources of revenue is almost prohibitive. a road cannot be called a j throughway if it has more than 10 commercial buildings per mile would be removed. Control of the Pacific ocean shore would be transferred from the Highway Department to the State Land Board under a third bill. Since the administration of Gov. Oswald West, all the land between high and low tide has been classified as public high way. Tuesday, a package of 31 bills based on a three per cent sales tax, repeal of the 45 per cent surtax and providing property tax relief by earmarking $20 million of sales tax money for schools was introduced. The bills had the backing of the Interim Committee on Taxa tion headed by Sen. Rudie Wil helm Jr., Portland Republican. However, they appeared des tined to run into opposition from controlling Democrats who favor income tax hikes rather than i sales tax. "hirty-nine bills were intro duced to bring the total then to 161 bills in the legislative hopper. visits by groups of White and Negro students to the Negro rallies, the policymaking State Board of Control announced it would consider further student participation in the integration controversy as "endangering the welfare of our universities." Rally Grows By Wednesday night the stu dent rally delegations had grown to a dozen White and about 50 Negro students. Roy Wiikins, executive secre tary for the National Assn. for the Advancement of Colored People, charged before a fund raising dinner in Atlanta that "most White people in the South are not free today." Wiikins likened White South ern political leadership to the "bosses at the top in Moscow" and told 300 Negroes at the S50-a-plate dinner that South erners "are on the brink of being unable to think their own thoughts." Other Developments Other developments in the South's segregation controvery: DIDN'T SEE SIGNAL Cordoba, Argentina (U.P.)

Paint-Heating Tests Completed in State Salem W. C. Williams, state highway engineer, has announc ed successful completion of a year-long test of experimental traffic paint-heating equipment which has increased mileage of highway center striping opera tions an average 30 per cent. W. O. Widdows, assistant maintenance engineer, super vised the tests and development of the new equipment. The state has four striping machines and under favorable weather conditions each is capa ble of striping 30 to 40 miles per day. They are operated by a nine-man crew and are based at Salem, Klamath Falls, Rose burg and LaGrande. During cool weather striping operations were complicated in past years by slow drying paint and initial pressures required to start chilled paint flowing often delayed the start of paint ing on cool or damp mornings. The Salem-based equipment was rebuilt to include an im proved tank, capacity of supply lines to spray guns was increas ed, an experimental heater was installed between tank and guns, and the system changed so that heated paint is in constant cir culation whether spray guns are in use or not.

A three-judge panel in Charleston, S.C., held in a ma jority ruling that 16 Negro teachers had not yet exhausted their administrative remedies for being fired after refusing to refute their NAACP member ship. The ruling held in effect that the Negroes should have tried other means of getting their jobs back before bringing court action challenging a 1956 state law barring school employees from NAACP membership. Segregationist Asa E. Ace Carter postponed his campaign for police commissioner of Bir mingham, Ala., because of his arrest on charges of assault with intent to murder two Ku Klux Klansmen at a rally two nights ago.

Everything Apparently Not Yet Done; Florida Man To Air Condition Outdoors By DOC QUIGG United Press Correspondent New York (U.R) Every once in a while there blossoms on the American scene a man with the visision and courage needed for a breakthrough into untrod den ways. We watch him pitch right in and get the job done, and we wonder why we never thought of that. We say, "Why of course . . . that's the way to do it." And we are jealous and admir ing, and the world is enriched by his bravery. Down in Florida there dwells such a man. He is fixing to air condition the outdoors. What a concept! It seems outlandish that the world has been mousing along for so many years with only indoor air conditioning. Where has our imagination been?. If ever an area needed air condi tioning, that area is the out doors. Think what it would do for Death Valley, or the Fulton Fish Market. Consider its impact on smog-happy L.A., a Cali fornia metropolis oft-times vic timized by stenches from many sources. Great Promise Ponder, if you please, the Im petus to tourist trade of a sign on the highway: "Welcome To Arkansas Air conditioned for your comfort." With outdoor air conditioning. New England could give the lie to Mark Twain's old saw about New England climate: "If you don't like the weather here, wait a minute. Our hero of the moment is only 31, which is pretty close to the average age of the fram ers of the U.S. Constitution. His name is Gilbert Edwards. He is building, in Fort Lauder dale, a housing development in tended for retired older folks. Informed sources have re ported that It gets hot in Florida in the summer. According to word that has seeped up North, Edwards has in the works for his development , a three-acre gar den, lushly landscaped with tropical plants and cucumber- New Billing System' Started by Local YA A saving to taxpayers of at least $350,000 a year, with bet ter service to veterans, will re sult from a new premium billing system introduced by the Veter ans Administration for its GI insurance operations, S. T. Bran nock, officer in charge of the local VA office, has announced. Brannock said the new sys tem involves the use of punched cards which policyholders re turn with remittances. The punched card method is being used in order to adapt billing and accounting proced ures to the latest type-equipment to give better service to veteran policyholders, Brannock said. . Brannock said veteran policy holders who still have , the old billing notices should continue to use them until their supply is exhausted. At that time, VA will send new notices. cool with air conditioning The plan is to have majestic palm trees swaying around the premises. In each tree, but cam oflaged among the fronds, will be big conimerical size air con ditioning unts. Each will be of sufficient horsepower to chill a 60-foot diameter area around each tree. No Coconuts The plan is to keep the out doors around there cooled to 70 degrees during the hot weather ideal for bench sitting. In the interest of intact and whole skulls, the palm trees will be kept denuded of coconuts. Who says the pioneer spirit is dead ? If this isn't a break through on several fronts in cluding a weather front I've never heard of one. As you know, they've already brought water to the edge of the ocean in Florida with swimming pools right on the beaches. Now how about moving the pools into the ocean itself. How's that for an idea? And let's get some sun lamps under those -palms, so people sitting outdoors in the air-cooled shade can get home sunrays. Now we're talking. Edison move over or, maybe, roll over. Don't sit under that coconut tree with anyone else but me.
