for the Orient on her maiden
voyage, more than 11 hours after
her originally scheduled depar

The gleaming 14,206-ton liner

Many of the passenger cabins
and all of the public rooms in
the 17-year-old ship were redec
orated, but the crew's quarters
were unfinished by yesterday's
sailing time.
Company officials decided it
would take one more shift of

stallations. Eighty-one passengers were
aboard when the ship finally
sailed for Yokohama.
The ship was, commissioned
yesterday morning as the 29th
ship in the APL fleet. Mrs. Her

hurricane force in Wyoming
swept into the northern and cen

to 40 miles per hour.
The swirling winds pounded
Wyoming late Monday, but there
were no reports of serious dam

companied the high winds into
the plains states.
Cold air gripped the eastern

The cold, clear weather
stemmed the threat of further

and West Virginia. Howeverr
floods which hit the area two

in West Virginia.

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE
Basic School Fund
Distribution Hit
Portland U.R) The chair
man of the Portland school
board lashed out last night at
the Oregon Education associa
tion and the Oregon Council of
Parents and Teachers for sup
porting a plan to change distri
bution of basic school funds.
Chairman Herbert M. Schwab
said the plan would work a seri
ous hardship on Portland and
some 'other districts in the state.
Schwab told a school board
meeting he found it hard to un
derstand why the OEA and PTA
would publicly endorse a bill
which he said was "unsound"
and would "seriously weaken
the Portland school system as
well as certain other districts in
terms of available funds."
The plan, called the "key dis
trict plan," would set a mini
mum educational program in
terms of money spent per child
by the local district and equal
ize school taxes all over the
state. It is now before the legis
lature. v
Schwab said that if the plan
went into effect without increas
ing the basic school fund from
its present S80 per census child
it would take away about S4
million of the some S6 million
Portland gets annually from the
state.
