Rob Sirom Quiis $64,000 Question New York (U.R) Robert Strom, heavier by 5192,000, re tired Tuesday night at the age of 10, the richest quiz winner to TV history. Young Rob, a fifth grade sci ence expert from the Bronx, N.Y., bowed out of the 'The $64,000 Question" after 11 ap pearances on the CBS-TV give away. His parents, Albert and Beatrice Strom, made the deci sion even though Rob was of fered, the chance of adding a final $64,000 to his stake. "Rob has had a wonderful ex perience on the show," said Al bert Strom, who earns S8.000 a year as a vocational high school teacher. "We've looked for signs of strain, but we've seen none. He's taking it in stride. "But it's been a big strain on my wife and myself. If he stayed on, there would always be the possibility of his missing with all the heartbreak and feeling that would go with it. We've de cided this would be a good time stop." Young Strom, a 51-inch, 65 pound mental giant, will be paid his pile in three yearly install ments by the sponsor of the show. That means he'll be able to keep some $83,000 after taxes. Asked for his reaction to his parents' decision, Rob said: "Well . . . what can you do with parents?"

The measures already had been approved by the Senate but was amended by the House committee. It now requires church schools to meet all stan dards except classroom size, tea cher load, and playground facil ities before the state vill give them textbooks. The changes yere suggested by Leo Smith, attorney for the Catholic arch dioceses of Portland. Oregonians Declared Reluctant To Marry Portland (U.R) The State Board of Health said today Ore gon men apparently aren't in the marrying mood. Or maybe it's the women.
