Leonard Mayfield. Medford school superintendent, reported on legislative'measures affecting schools in which this area has an interest, including the so called "key district" bill for re vising the basic school support fund distribution formula, and the proposal to increase the amount of state participation in school financing from about 25 per cent to about 50 per cent. The key district bill, worked out over a period of years by a group of "downstate" school of ficials including Mayfield, has met opposition from areas which would not be favored under its News About Servicemen AF Serqeant Due in Medford MSgt.

BRAISED SANDWICH -NEW provisions, chiefly Multnomah county and a few eastern Oregon areas, Mayfield said. Attempts to compromise with these groups have failed, and supporters plan to go ahead to see if the original proposal can be passed, the school official stated. As to the increase in the state's basic school support fund. May field said little or no opposition has developed to an increase of some sort, although it is appear ing more and more doubtful that the full amount proposed, S120 per census child per year com pared to S80 at present, can be obtained. Some compromise figure may be approved, he said. An in crease to S120 would cost some S40 million more than at pres ent. Senate Bill 6, which was in troduced to clear up bonding technicalities for the Medford school district, passed both houses recently, but was recalled from the governor's office by the Senate after it developed that it would affect a situation in Yamhill county, Mayfield re ported. The bill is now in the process of amendment in the Senate education committee. Salary Budget Dr. Marshall Woodell of Southern Oregon college report ed on the salary budget submit ted for the state system of high er education, pointing out that if it is not approved, Oregon is likely to lose many of its best college and university teachers. He pointed to the rapid rise in enrollments throughout the state system, and the need for addi tional instructors and profes sors, and to the difficulty in ob taining them, or retaining pres ent ones, under the present sal ary schedule. The committee also went on record as opposing, in its pres ent form, a bill which would raise the speed limit of motor boats on Diamond lake from 10 to 25 miles per hour during part cf the dav.
