Education Submits Preliminary Eugene-The legislative in terim committee on education released a preliminary report at a meeting here recently summarizing its recommenda tions. Most of the recommen dations are concerned with ichool finance - both appro priation and distribution. The committee pointed out that the recommendations are merely preliminary and "drafting and administrative problems might force a change in . committee approaches to the solutions of various prob lems." . A summary of the commit tee's chief recommendations is: Siaia Appropiiationt , -State . appropriations for support of elementary and secondary education should approach, but not exceed, SO per cent of the current ex penditures of school districts in the state. The goal should be approached oyer a five year period, to avoid disrupt ing state finance in any one biennium. This recommenda tion should be submitted to the voters. -State appropriations for basic school support should be restricted, as far as pos sible, to support of education for ' students in grades 1 through 12, and should not be diverted to other purposes. Any diversions should be lim ited to payment of adminis trative expenses for basic sup port, the present emergency fund and payment of the ex pense for education of chil dren in state institutions. The balance of the basic school support fund should be available for payments t o school districts. Transportation Aid -School districts should continue to receive transpor tation aid as a separate state supported program. Each school district should receive 50 per cent of its approved transportation cost. -State aid should be dis tributed to guarantee every AMERICA'S THRIVING AGE OF ACTION lilt... liL, la Q (ft!

This month, in Iowa, we started work on arWier, costing $22,000,000... the sixth plant in ORTHO's wide-spread agricultural family. Interim Committee district the same amount of money, per weighted average dally membership (this would be a formula worked out on the basis of attendance), with a uniform amount, so far as administratively possible, be ing contributed by each prop erty taxpayer in the state. Every district should re ceive a minimum amount of state aid, with special provis ions made for those that make an exceptional effort to pro vide an educational program. It also asks consideration of sources of revenue other than property taxes, such as feder al forest fees, and O and C revenues.- . Meets Opposition (The proposal for use of O and C funds met opposition from a minority of the com mittee.) The recommendation calls for inclusion of 12 V4 per cent of O and C funds receiv ed by the counties for inclu sion in the formula. -The state board of educa tion should be increased from seven to nine members, with the terms of members limited to seven consecutive years. The superintendent of public instruction should be appoint ed by the board. The superin tendent is now elected. -The professional staff of the state department of edu. cation should be exempt from the classified service of the state,- with the salary plan and arrangements for leave with pay established by the state board of education. -School districts should be HAS NO EXCUSES - Dallas, Tex. (UPD E. F. Smith, head of the collection department at the Dalles Wat er Co., got a telephone call and a lecture at the office Tuesday from his wife. It seems Smith neglected to pay to have service restored when they moved into a new house and the city shut off his water supply. Report reorganized into administra tive districts of sufficient size to provide an adequate edu cational program in Oregon. A strong educational pro gram, to acquaint the people with the aims of reorganiza tion; should also be con ducted. A minority report made during the committee meet ing opposed use of O and C funds for basic school sup port on the grounds that in clusion of these'- funds "will serve as a springboard for some interests which are op posed to the equalized flat grant formula to defeat the entire program of the interim committee at the next session of the state legislature." The four members of the committee opposed to the use of O and C funds were Rep. resentatives Nancy Kirkpat rick, Lebanon; Evelyn Nye, Medford; Tom Monaghan, Milwaukie; and Al , Flegel, Roseburg. Work Being Discarded They added in the report that the possible inclusion of O and C funds "concerns us deeply as we feel there is a possibility of the entire work of the interim committee be ing discarded due to geograph ical differences of opinion." They pointed out also that they feel legislation will be introduced pertaining to the use of O and C funds by other organizations and the issue can be determined on its own merits without jeopardizing the complete proposal of the committee "including increas ed school support." Other members of the in terim committee are Sen. Ward Cook, Portland; James Yeomans, Portland; Stuart Compton, Salem; Sen. Jean Lewis, Portland; Sen. Dwight Hopkins, Baker; John Houn sell, Portland; William Bade, Portland; Rep. John Kerbow, Klamath Falls; and Sen. Rob ert White, Salem. BECAUSE OF AMERICA'S VITALITY. . . because the fads of growth and progress are before everyone's eyes . . . becaus the restless, creative energies of Americans have moved our ' economy into an age of acton . . . fife in exciting dimension. Here are some of the expanding the thriving economic fronft of ACTION 1960-1961 This year we're investing about $400,000,000 to find and produce the oil you'll need... and for new plants and equipment to serve our customers better in an expanding economy. Next year we expect to expend a like amount, because the future of a growing America will demand more and more oil. The best estimates indicate use of motor gasoline in the West, for example, will rise nearly 4 in 1961 over I960. That $400,000,000 is a practical measure of our confidence in the future. ACTION IN RESEARCH How far can science and imagination commercially "stretch" the molecule of oil? (nto coloud plastic highways? Into a new wear-defying fiber for clothing? We're backing our research staff U00 strong with $20,000,000 in I960. . .to find new ideas and practical answers in this age of action.

Each article is a summary of an actual case history. The Council reports on problems that have been deait with by responsible agencies and counselors. Patricia S. How can Janei insult our mother by visiting Dad and "the other woman?" Jane D. I wanted to hear Dad's side of the story. ... Patricia S. My sister and I are the eldest in a family of five. We are 19 and 20 and both recently married. We have known for a long time that our parents were very disturbed about some thing, but we weren t told what. A few weeks ago our dad just moved out of the house and went to live with another woman. We learned that this affair had been go ing on for some time. Dad asked my sister and me to visit him to "talk things over." Of course I refused to walk into that woman's house. My sister Jane went. This is an insult to our mother. I don't understand how Jane could do such a thing. Jane D. I feel there are two sides to every disagree ment. I'm not like Pat and I couldn't put all the blame on Dad until I had at least heard him out. , 1 Well, I'm glad I went be cause I got an entirely new slant on the whole thing. Dad isn't all villain. His married life with Mom was quite un happy. She is a demanding, domineering person and he would have left her many years ago if it weren't for us. The woman he is living with is no Jezebel. She's a nice person who happens to be in love with Dad. They want to get married and I feel Mother would do best to give in to a divorce. ... The Council: Jane appears to be quite immature and naive for her age. She is so flattered at being taken into her father's confidence that she permits herself to be used by him as a tool in his present undertaking. Jane does not seem to un Jackson Predicts Kennedy Victory Washington r- (UPD - Demo c r a 1 1 c National Chairman Henry M. Jackson predicted Tuesday that John F. Ken nedy would defeat Richard M. Nixon for the presidency, possibly carrying all 50 states. Jackson branded Nixon a demagogue who it using "sim ple emotional appeals and simple labcU" to hide "com plex campaign issues." He forecast victory for, Ken nedy in the traditional na tional chairman's pre-election forecast to the National Press club. GOP Chairman Thrus ton B. Morton will make his prediction later. Mobutu's Control On Congo Slipping Leopoldvillc, The Congo- (UPD - Mounting criticism by Congolese political leaders Tuesday threatened army Col. Joseph Mobutu's "strong man" control of this seething Afrian republic. The new controversy boiled up over Mobutu s apparent re luctance to force a showdown with deposed Premier Patrice Lumumba. Mobutu announced Monday that he had changed his mind about calling narliament back into session a reiterated his decision to "neutralize" the legislative body and all politi cal parties until the end of the derstand that it is not at all her business to sit in judg ment on her parents', married life. It is natural for her to brood about the cause of the break-up, but she should cer tainly reserve decisions be cause she cannot possibly know all the details. Even if she did, she would be in no positibn to see the situation objectively. Jane should recognize that she is far too involved emo tionally to be able to give her mother good advice. Her sympathy and encouragement to her father may gratify his ego at the moment, but it is doubtful whether he derives any important benefit from them.. Although Patricia hasn't heard her father's "side of the story," there may be more real objectivity in her out look than in Jane s. Her loyal ty toward her mother is clear- cut, yet she does not condemn her father or express hatred of him. She simply refuses to involve . herself in ' contact with his illegal and immoral mode of life. The. father in this case has piled insult upon injury by trying to get his daughters sympathy for his betrayal of their mother. Every marriage has its difficulties and each partner could give unfavor able character references about the other if he put their mind to it.

(UPI Telephoto) All Acreage Restrictions on Sugar Beets Off Washington-IUPD-The Agri culture Department today re moved all acreage restrictions on the 1961 sugar beet crop. It will be the first time in seven years that beet sugar output will not be restricted under the sugar control pro gram. : One effect of the action will be -to permit production of more beet sugar to replace cane sugar supplies previously provided by Cuba. The department said its de cision was based on indicated year-end supplies of beet sug ar and the probable 1961 and future sugar beet quotas. Taken Into Account It also took into account the need for substantial sug ar stocks to facilitate' orderly marketing, the production ca pacity of beet sugar factories and recommendations made by representatives of sugar beet producers and processors at a public hearing in Denver Sept. 19. The 1960 beet sugar acre age allotment was 989,000 acres, of which about 905,000 acres will be harvested this fall,. This acreage is expected to yield 16,727,000 tons of sugar beets.'
