"You should not permit the

Hissing Items
Said Valued at
About $6r(
Salem-OIPII - About $6,000
worth of property is missing
from the National Guard s
Camp Withycombe in Clacka
mas county, the governor s of
fice said today.
An investigation is under
way.
The property is believed to
be surplus items left by the
Navy when it pulled out of
the Tongue Point Naval sta
tion near Astoria.
A two-paragraph statement
by the governor's office said
"An unexplained shortage
of property exists in the Na.
tional Guard inventory which
has been investigated in
preliminary way by the state
auditor at the governor s re
quest.
"The governor has asked
the Clackamas county district
attorney and the state police
to join in the investigation
and take appropriate action."
Travis Cross, Gov. Mark
Hatfield's press secretary, said
the shortage amounted to
about S6.000.
Believed From Navy
The missing items were be
lieved to be equipment left
behind by the U.S. Navy when
the Navy pulled out of Tongue
Point Naval Station last year.
Various surplus items were
left behind, and the Navy
made them available to Ore
gon state agencies.
Adj. Gen. Paul Kliever was
in San Francisco. The public
information officer for his de
partment Maj. Harvey La
tham of Salem, said there
! were a number of items of
j which the Oregon military De
partment took possession at
Tongue Point, and the items
were moved to Camp Withy
combe and put into storage.
These included some heavy
machinery, ropes, cables, and
furnishings for officers' quarl-

Curricula OK by
State Proposed
Salem - IUP1I- A bill is be
ing drafted for the 1963 le
gislature that would expand
the State Education depart
ment's role in requiring all
non-public schools to have
their curricula approved by
the state, a conference of pub
lic local school officials were
told today.
Dr. Leon P. Minear, state
superintendent of public in
struction, said the bill is being
drafted by the legslative
counsel's office.
While the bill is being draft
ed at the request of the State
Education department, Minear
noted that neither he nor the
State Board of Education has
approved it. '
Approval Required
Private schools, Including
parochial, now are required
to have their curricula ap
proved by the state - at least
that part which jibes with the
minimum state standards for
public schools.
One of the vehicles for this
is through the state's text
book law which the Oregon
Supreme court ruled invalid
last year, and which is now
before the U. S. Supreme
court.
The bill being drafted
would set minimum standards
for private schools whether or
not they received public text
books, the same standards
that apply to public schools.
Minear touched on other
matters he said are expected
to go before the 1063 legisla
ture. None has been approved
by the State Education de
partment but they Include le
gislation that would:
- Establish a bureau for im-
prov.cment.of . s m a 1 1 high
schools.
- Hequire an annual cen
sus of pupils, instead of every
two years.
- Exempt teachers from
jury duty on the contention
they're too busy. Minear said
this proposal, sponsored by a
local school superintendent,
is a bad one, and he opposes
it.
Problem In Smaller Areas
- Allow a school board
member in a local district to
perform business with the
school district. This is a prob
lem in smaller districts where
the number of businessmen is
limited, Minear said.
- Certification of coaches

Schools Aim of
Curricula Plan
Salem -IUPII- A proposal to
extend the state's authority to
set minimum curricula stand
ards for private schools
aimed at certain "fly by
night private schools in Ore
gon, a State Education De
partment spokesman said to
day.
James Turnbull, deputy
state superintendent of pub
lic instruction, said the idea
- being put into form for the
1963 legislature - is partially
the result of complaints from
some public school superin
tendents in Southern Oregon.
Questionable Schools
Some questionable private
schools have cropped up,
Turnbull said, and public
school officials have express
ed concern. Under the law,
if a private school doesn't get
public textbooks, the state
has no power to set minimum
standards for the curriculum
of a private school, no matter
how good or bad the school
might be. ; '
There also is a law that
permits children to be excus
ed from a public school to
attend a private school - and
this is why the state should
have some say over what pri
vate schools teach, Turnbull
said - for protection of the
children.
The bill has not yet been
approved by the state educa
tion department.

Both Sides Will
Study Proposals
From Goldberg
Picket Lines
Started To Form
Washington - HIPIl - Negoti
ators for the Flight Engineers
union agreed today to tem
porarily postpone a strike
against Trans World Airlines.
The decision came too late to
avert picket lines in several
maior cities.
The announcement of the
postponement came a few min
utes after the 10 a.m. (PST)
deadline set by the union for
the strike to start. On the dot
of the hour, flight engineer
picket lines started fo form at
several major airports.
The decision to temporarily
suspend the official walkout
came because both the union
and TWA agreed to consider
settlement r e commendations
advanced by Labor Secretary
Arthur J. Goldberg.
Spokesmen for both the air
lines and the union said they
would give immediate serious
consideration to the settle
ment proposals. Goldberg said
the plan would cover all is
sues in dispute.
Don Byrne, public informa
tion officer for the flight en
gineers, said no official union
order had gone out from Wash
ington to call off the picket
lines as a result of the agree
ment reached at the Labor de
partment. But at San Francisco, where
picket lines had formed at the
TWA ticket offices and the
airport, union officials called
the men back to strike head
quarters to stand by pending
the outcome of the Washing
ton negotiations.
