The boundary board has 10 days after last Wednesday's election in which to make its decision. A meeting has been set for 10:30 ajn. Friday to consider whatever recommen dation the district boards agree upon. ' i The canvass revealed no discrepancies in last week's unofficial' results. So these figures become official: Phoe nix: for consolidation, 436; opposed, 323; Talent: for con solidation, 186; opposed, 57. Whatever the recommenda tion and boundary5 board de cision with respect to the effective date of consolidation, no change in the respective school districts' operations is contemplated in the current school year. Effective Dale The date consolidation be comes effective, the Phoenix board representing the larg er district would take over the combined districts on a temporary basis. i Countywidej reorganization plan must be submitted to state authorities by Oct. 7. If Phoenix - Talent consolidation becomes effective first, the plan would so indicate. In this event, elections for a new; combined-district board would probably take place sometime this winter at the same tune mat elections in other redefined districts in the county are held. Should consolidation be postponed to next July 1, the reorganization plan submitted to the state would show Phoe nix and Talent as separate districts, officials today indi cated. This, the officials ex plained, would cause compli cations in the timing of elec tions for the combined-district board. H the postponement is de cided upon, the boards would remain responsible to their respective districts until July 1. . Consolidation - Another question to be de cided is the membership of the consolidated Phoenix-Tal ent district. If the new district were zoned, between five and nine zones could be establish ed ." with one school board member to be elected from each.- If it were not zoned, seven board members at large would be elected. At present, each district has a five-member board.

Morse Sees Russian Premier i. , - .... Worried About Wa Washington - (UPD - Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) said to day he thought Soviet Pre mier Nikita Khrushchev came to the United States "because he is worried about war." Morse said he also felt Khrushchev might not be the "absolute dictator" which the free world pictures him as. The Oregon Democrat made the statements in a copy righted interview appearing in U.S. News & World Report. He met Khrushchev when the Soviet leader held a clos ed meeting with the Senate Foreign Relations Committee last week. Morse is a member of the group. . The senator said he believ ed Khrushchev was "greatly concerned about war," and knew "that a nuclear war be tween the United States and Russia will mean -r for decades and decades to come the end of both countries." Said 'Realistic' "He's realistic about . that and we must be realistic about that too," Morse said. "My feeling is he wants to work out some - basis for peace," the saiator said, "and I think we ought to try to negotiate on an honorable basis." Morse said it should be done through the United Na tions "because these problems can't be solved by agreements between the United States and Russia." . The senator said he listened to Khrushchev for an hour and a half and studied him carefully. He said the Russian leader stressed "peace, peace, peace, peace," throughout his whole talk. " At the same time, 1 Morse noted that the way in which Khrushchev fielded , "hot po tato" questions showed he was an "adept" debator and "very tough and very difficult."

Regional Edition country by taking the position that we shouldn't try to nego tiate with him," Morse said. "And negotiating with him doesn't mean the Chamberlain 'umbrella' approach. It does n't mean ... appeasement . Mors is Dubious ' But Morse was dubious about the actual power that Khrushchev wields in Russia. He said he got the feeling be cause of the manner in which some of his aides acted during the meeting on Capitol HilL "On several occasions when a question was put to him, one of his ..official party sometimes even before Khrushchev said , a word would stand up and proceed to discuss and answer . the question - not even asking Khrushchev for permission,' Morse said. - -- "I don't need to tell you,' the senator said, "that such a thing would not have hap pened if the president of the United States had been sit ting there being questioned. No cabinet officer would have done that."

'Work and Good Wages' What is the main wish you want me to take back? Peace is not enough. I want there to be enough work and good wages." There was applause several times and when Khrushchev asked "May I call you com rades," there was applause again.
