House Speaker Robert Dun can (D-Medford) was elected vice chairman and Sen. Fran cis Ziegler (R-Corvallis), sec retary. After adopting rules of pro cedure both for the conduct of emergency telephone polls and the filing of requests for emergency appropriations by state agencies, the board con sidered an agenda which call ed for an appropriation of $3,000, the remainder being requests for transfer of funds. Transfer Approved The $3,000 was given to the State Labor Department to supplement other funds to be used in licensing and regulat ing of farm labor contractors. The transfers of funds ap proved totaled $310,000. In addition there was $2, 500,000 appropriated to the Board to cover salary in creases recommended by the State Civil Service Board for state employees. A transfer of $14,034 in funds already allocated to the Labor ; Department was ap proved for adding another em ployee to regulate highway signs as provided in approved House bill 298. A request for use of $75, 700 to set up a pilot program on adult civil defense educa tion, to be financed entirely by federal funds, was reject ed. James Turnbull, assistant superintendent of public in struction, told the board mem bers that no commitment had been made by the department for expenditure of state funds. But members of the commit tee felt thta evenutally the federal government would re quire the state to put up Bob Hope, Honored For Entertainment, Subject of Series "Hay iux, will travel!" is the gay way Bob Hop summed up a few years ago his fantastic globe-lroiting to entertain American serv icemen all over the world. GI's loved him and bis government honored him for his untiring efforts to bring laughter to Americans wherever they were in the frozen North, in Europe. Africa, or the jungles of the Pacific. But the pace has , caught up with Bob Hope, now an ailing, worried man. What does the future hold for him? Will he have to quit?

Highway Money Granted The Board allowed a trans fer of $3 million from the capital outlay allocation to the . State Highway Commis sion to finance the accelerated federal aid highway program. Forrest Cooper, assistant state highway engineer, said the department had held back the request hoping that money not expended during the long construction strike last year might prove sufficient. But a spell of good weather allowed more highway construction than had been anticipated, hence the need of the match money. Cooper reported that $3, 400,000 of the $12 million bond issue approved by the 1957 Legislature for recon struction of the coast highway in Curry county had been ex pended and all ' the grading for the project was now under contract. This project is expected to be completed in 1961. CorvaUis Man Again Heads TB Association Portland -(UPD Dr. Wendell L.

SOVIET AIDES ARRIVE Geneva - (UPD - An advance party of 30 Soviet secretaries arrived by plane Thursday from Moscow for the foreign ministers' conference which begins Monday. Washington (UPD Chang ing the diet of dairy cows would cut in half the radioac tivity in milk caused by nu clear test fallout, according to scientific testimony before Congress. Dr. C. L. Comar of Cornell University suggested doubling the amount of calcium in a cow's diet to reduce the amount of dangerous stron- tium-90 in milk. Dairy products are believed to furnish about 75 per cent of the calcium and strontium- 90 taken into the human sys tem. Since they are chemical ly similar, the human body does not distinguish between them and absorbs them with equal ease. -Absorbed by Bones The strontium-90, a fallout particle, is absorbed by the bones, and in large enough amounts, its radiation can cause bone cancer and leuke mia. Comar testified before a joint subcommittee on radia tion holding public hearings on fallout, the invisible radio activity released by nuclear explosions. Two round table discus sions with scientists were scheduled before the subcom mittee to determine possible damaging effects of continued nuclear , testing and the limi tation of testing necessary to preserve world health. Scientists at similar discus sions two years ago agreed nuclear testing should be held to a world total of not more than 10 "megatons" per year, A megaton is the equivalent of a million tons of TNT, Pregnancy Rate, Marriages Alarm Texas PTA Group Dallas, Tex. -(UPD- The Dal las Parent-Teachers Associa tion Council, alarmed over an increase in teen-age marriages and pregnancies among Dallas school children, has voted to ask that separate schools be set up for married students. The PTA acted after a sur vey disclosed a sharp increase in the number of school mar riages and turned up one 12-year-old and two13-year-old married students. The report also said 144 girls have been dropped from school because of pregnancy. Officials reported 480 mar riages this year compared with 286 in 1957 up 41 per cent. The figure is about 2 per cent of the total high school enrollment. Superintendent of Schools W. T. White released the in formation after the council asked for a survey. He made no recommendations, but said he was "rather surprised" at the increase. White disclosed that mar ried students still in school have 72 children. The PTA council said it would make its recommenda tion for separate schools to the school board. It also voted to ask Dr. White to prohibit married students from partici pating in extra-curricular ac tivities at the schools. In 1953, the Dallas School System rescinded its ban on school attendance for married students and granted them full participation after a state court ruled the ban illegal. In September of that year 72 married students entered school. Dr. White said the in creased number of marriages and pregnancies has become a social problem the schools can not ignore. Far more white students are married than Negro stu dents, the survey showed. Sing Sing Prisoners Get New Privilege Ossing, N.Y.-(DPD-Sing Sing Prison inmates have a new privilege for Mother's Day. Warden Wilfred L. Denno has announced that prisoners may send Mother's Day cards to their wives if they nave children. In previous years inmates could send cards only to their mothers. The then-recommended lim- the last two years, it has been exceeded by an Comar told the subcommit average of 75 per cent during tee that it would be possible to remedy the radioactivity content of milk by changing cows' diets because the ani mals' systems, unlike humans, differentiate between calcium and strontium-90. If a cow is fed a diet con taining equal amounts of the two elements, Comar said, the milk will contain only 12 units of strontium for every 100 units of calcium. Garden Sawdust McGinty Fuel Go. Ph.
