TOURTEEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday, May S, 1957 Key District Bill Re-Referred To House Education Committee Salem U.P.) A compromise key district bill containing amendments supplied by Rep. John Mosser, Portland Republi can, was re-referred by the House to the committee on edu cation late Wednesday by a 30-27 vote. The House debated more than an hour and a half before return ing the bill on a motion by Rep. Herman Chindgren, Molalla Re-j oublican. Chindgren said he favored a compromise key dis trict plan, but wanted the House Education Committee to consid er changes in the compromise formula supplied by Mosser. Bill Changes Formula The key district bill changes the formula for distributing basic aid to Oregon's school dis tricts. Extensive changes were made in the bill by the House Education Committee from the form in which the bill passed the Senate. Senate Committee OK's Scott McLeod Washington XI.R) The Sen ate Foreign Relations Commit tee today voted 9-6 to approve the controversial nomination of Scott McLeod as asbassador to Ireland. Six Democrat voted against the State Department security chief, according to members who left the closed door session early. McLeod was supported by all even Republican committee . members and Democratic Sens. 'Mike Mansfield (Mont.) and Rus sell B. Long (La.), it was re ported. The committee voted to send the controversial nomination to the Senate floor for confirma tion after defeating, 9-6, a mo tion to postpone action. Voting against McLeod, it was reported, were Chairman Theo dore Francis Green (D-R.I.) and Democratic Sens. J. William Ful b right (Ark.), John J. Sparkman (Ala.), Hubert H. Humphrey (Minn.), Wayne L. Morse (Ore.), and John F. Kennedy (Mass.).

New York (U.R) Two traffic safety experts, demonstrating hazardous driving on a television show, were given summonses Wednesday for driving east- bound on a one-way westbound street. The main change made by Mosser calls for distribution of school money 50 per cent for equalization and 50 per cent as a wealth offset for the district. Chindgren argued that unless more effective equalization were provided, small districts would be hurt by the bill. Opponents of sending the bill back to committee argued that unless a compromise bill were accepted, "open warfare" would break out in Oregon's education system. Mosser Defends Bill Mosser said his version of the key district bill would in effect take money from more wealthy districts and give it to poorer dis tricts. It also would eive a little more for high school education than for elementary education and shift some money from rural to first class districts. Portland school officials, while preferring their own distribution formula, have had. no serious quarrel with th amended key district bill, Mosser said. The amended bill would ,cost Portland, the key district, some $800,000 in state aid while it would have lost close to 54 mil lion under the Senate version of the bill. Rep. Keith Skelton, Eugene Democrat, warned that if the bill went back to committee it might stay there or come back in its original form. But Committee Chairman Joe Rogers, Independence Demo crat, favored taking the bill back to change the formula to put more emphasis on equaliza tion. He supports a compromise bill, however. Eastern Oregon Would Be Hurt Rep. Vern Cady, Burns Dem ocrat, said eastern Oregon would be hurt badly by the key dis trict plan, but said that section of the state could at least live with the Mosser amendments and for that reason opposed sending it back to committee. He said Lake county still would lose $30,000 under the amended bill.1 "You can't redistribute the same amount of money without hurting some districts," Mosser said. "Almost any distribution formula looks good if you have an increase in basic school aid to S120," he added. Mosser's amendment calls for a 55-45 per cent split between wealth and equalization factors the first year. This gap would then'' be closed to appoximately a 50-50 split as school districts adjusted to the change.- Safety Council Board To Meet Friday Noon The board of directors of the Medford Safety council will meet Friday noon at the Jack son hotel, according to Aubrey Loper, president. Plans for the annual school patrol dinner will be reported by Elliott Becken, chairman of the dinner committee. Directors also will discuss plans for a membership cam paign and a progress report on the jaywalking problem in Med ford, Loper said. Division chairman also should attend the no-host luncheon, Lo per added. Role of Principals Of Discipline Told By Pakistan Man Role of the principals of faith, unity and discipline in j the government and life of the j Pakistan republic were told to j Medford Kiwanis club members yesterday in a talk by Capt. M. Yasin Raja, Pakistan Army of ficer, who is currently a track assistant at University of Ore gon. The captain brought out to Kiwanians that the basic needs and principals" of his country and the United States are the same and that much is being gained by both nations from the exchange of students and teachers. He mentioned similar ities in the governments of the two countries and in the Christ ian and Mohammedan religions and stressed the close tie of re ligion with government in Pak istan. Spiritual Value Raja's talk pointed up the im portance of spiritual values and declared that with the atom and hydrogen bombs threatening de struction of humanity, this is a time Americans ought to prac tice Christian beliefs. He said that it was his observation that people in this country ,want to go- to ehurch but are "bashful" and do not want to be called churchmen. The speaker said that Moham medanism grew out of the be lief that God created humanity for living and not for destruc tion. He said that Islam has the same principals as Christianity, charity, humanity and faith and stated that the Mohammedans of his country believe in a "faith that can move moun tains." Captain Raja, who has been working with Coach Bill Bow- erman at University of Oregon, visited Coach Bob Newland at Medford High school ,on Tues day, was introduced to the track men, witnessed a junior high track meet and helped with the timing of Medford high ath letes who were working out. He expressed considerable enjoy ment concerning the visit and was particularly interested in seeing fathers watching their sons perforin. "I wish to ss that in my own country," ' -said.
