Voters in school district 62,
the Evans Valley area, will
go to the polls Thursday for
the third time this year to
vote on a proposed school dis
trict budget.
The proposed budget calls
for increasing the tax levy
for the fiscal year 1958-59
above the amount permitted
by section II, article XI of
the Constitution of Oregon.
The increase is required, ac
cording to the board of direc
tors of the school board, to
balance the budget and pro
vide funds necessary to oper
ate the school.
The proposed levy of $44,
160.17 is slightly lower than
the original budget proposed
this year, but it remains the
same as the one defeated by
a single vote on June 23.
More at Stake
When the voters make their
decision, there will be more
at stake than simply the ap
proval of rejection of a school
budget, according to county
school officials. It is question
able whether the school can
operate throughout the entire
year unless the proposed levy
is oassed, they said.
The law provides that all
tax levies shall be submitted
to the assessor's office by July
15 unless an extension has
been granted, County Assessor
Ray Schumacher said that he
has granted one extension.
"Law required, the asses
sor's office to extend ' levies
and prepare tax rolls for turn
over, to the sheriff 30 days
prior to tax collection," Schu
macher said. "The work load,
does not allow time to extend
filing of levies indefinitely."
Studies Question
A. B. Mekvold, superintend
ent of county schools, said
that in view of the present
circumstances he has-made a
study of the question: "To
what extent is a district re
SDonsible to operate schools
if levies are defeated?"
Until recently, he reported,
it has been held that a dis
trict was obligated to carry
on schools even if it was nec
essary to issue protested war
rants to finance them. How
ever, he 'continued, more re
cently the attorney general
has held that a district can
operate only until it has ex
hausted its approved funds.
"The attorney general's
opinion has never been tested
in court," Mekvold said, "be
cause the situation to which
it would apply has never oc
curred in Oregon."
Schools To Open
Should the proposed levy
be defeated Thursday, school
will still open this fall, Mek
vold noted. Even if the attor
ney general's opinion is up
held in court, he said, the dis
trict will open with the funds
which are now available.
Funds available at the pres
ent time for district 62, trie
superintendent said, include a
county school fund of $10 per
child plus a federal forest
receipts fund of approximate
ly $2.50 per child; state basic
sale in Dayton, Ohio, and will
be similar to the current 6
cent air mail envelope with'
only the denomination
changed.
The new 3-cent postal card,
in the Statue of Liberty de
sign and printed in purple,
will be first sold in Philadel
phia in conjunction with the
convention and exhibition of
the American First Day Cover
Society. The 6-cent reply post
al card will be released at
Boise, Idaho.
The 5-cent air mail post
card stamp, similar to the
present 4-cent value, but with
the new denomination, and
printed in red will first be
sold at Colorado Springs,
Colo. The 5-cent air mail post
card will go on sale at Wich
ita, Kan.
Local postal authorities
stressed that only the . 4-cent
Lincoln stamp may be pur
chased prior to Aug. 1.

ty wide basis and amounting
to $14,107.08; and estimated
additional state basic receipts
of $1,927.
The last two sums will be
deducted from the proposed
levy if it passes, Mekvold said.
The assumption is that
when the funds are exhaust
ed, assuming that the propos
ed budget is rejected, the
school would have to close
until next year.
A number of other compli
cated legal questions will
have to be answered after
Thursday if the proposed levy

To Tackle Birth
Defects, Arthritis
New York A program that
will permit a scientific assault
on major health problems of
the nation, with arthritis and
birth defects as initial new
targets, was announced today
by the National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis.
Basil O'Connor, president
of the organization that mades
possible the Salk polio vac
cine, announced the program
at a press conference here.
To Continue Research
While carrying on the win
ning fight against polio, the
National Foundation, as it
now will beknown, will con
tinue its virus research pro
gram and investigations of dis
orders of the central nervous
system, and will add research
and patient aid in arthritis
and birth defects, O'Connor
said.
The expanded program will
be financed through the tra
ditional March of Dimes con
ducted each January by vol
unteers in county chapters
across the country.
Research will be expanded
without the restriction of be
ing confined to a single dis
ease, O'Connor said, and pro
fessional education will be ex
panded to cover training of
personnel in research and pa
tient care in all areas of
activity.
Age Limit on Aid
It is planned to offer pati
ent aid at first only to arth
ritis patients through age 18
and to children suffering from
malformations of the central
nervous system also through
age 18, he said.
O'Connor said the Founda
tion will continue the polio
job until it is finished, includ
ing care of post-polio patients.
The patient care program for
arthritis and birth defect cases
will be started, first, where
it will do the most good,
O'Connor said, and second, on
a scale commensurate with
the public's willingness to
finance it.

The U.N. Security Coun

Attilude Moderated
Russia unexpectedly mod'

curity Council toward a Jap
anese compromise proposal
on the Middle East. Instead
of sticking to its indicated in
tention to veto the resolution
at once, Russia postponed a
showdown for a while by pro
posing changes in the resolu

a' five-power heads of state
meeting today in Geneva or
anywhere else that might be

Nehru has accepted the pro

peared in the harmony and
unity front with which Con

Eisenhower's movement of
Marines into Lebanon.
Eisenhower was confronted
with growing congressional
pressure in two directions:
A "get tough" Republican
bloc which appeared fearful
the administration would not
maintain a stiff enough Mid
dle Eastern stand to assure
the downfall of Soviet-backed
revolutions.
A Democrat ic group '
which urged the Chief Execu
tive not to dismiss the Soviet
proposal for a "summit" meet
ing if there were the slightest
chance it would contribute to
peace.
The GOP bloc raised its
voice strongly Monday night
in the person of Senate Re
publican leader William F.

tacked the administration's
support for a Japanese resolu
tion in the United Nations Se
curity Council.
Fatal To Future
The Japanese resolution.
which Russia vetoed today,
called for strengthening the
present UN observer group in
Lebanon but did not spell out
how it should be strengthened.
Knowland said if U.S.
