JUNE 20. 1962 Meeting the The challenge facing educators today is to meet the increasing demand in an- individual's educational process from the time he enters school until he has received the background and knowl edge to enter a highly complex society as a use ful citizen. It is a challenge which administrators and board members of the Medford school district faced. It is one which they will face in the future. Last night's decision to construct a new 2,000 student capacity high school to relieve crowded conditions in the present building was meeting part of this challenge to provide a broad course offering for students who will enter all walks of life. It was a decision to help prepare future gen erations to be leaders, scientists, technicians, businessmen and citizens of tomorrow. THE decision didn't come easy. It came after long hours of discussing ideas, plans, philoso phies, future demands of education, and conflict ing reports as to how effective large or small high schools are. In August, 1961, the Medford board accepted a report by Drs. Keith Goldhammer and Clarence Hines of the University of Oregon bureau of educational research. In their study of the Med ford district, they recommended two high schools in this district with capacities ranging from 1,500 to 1,800 students. To do this would mean some curtailment in the educational proeram would be uneconomical sidered by Drs. Goldhammer and Hines. BUT the question facing the Medford board tiroes "WfMi if n orlinooKli t infai1 fVio present proeram? Superintendent Leonard B. Mayfield and his statf continued to study the Mediord program in an attempt to determine how to plan a pro gram for two high schools present offerings. In his report to the board, Dr. Maylield said : In almost every subject and department area, it ap pears to me that our present high quality academic program, along with many other educational advan tages our students now enjoy, will be lessened. By this is meant that both the number of offerings and the length of offerings, such as three years and more . of foreign languages, advanced mathematics, advanced science, advanced commercial and homemaking in fact, virtually in every area, will be limited. It will be questionable whether such classes as now exist can be held because of small enrollment and high per student costs. The board was in general agreement with this. But the Question of more than once during the board's discussions of another high school: could the board economical ly justify leaving a "white elephant'' standing with vacant classrooms while district jiatrons are pavintr for a completely new high school which offered a program equal Members of the board felt that the present program should not be facilities should be expanded to help meet future demands on education program. lhe question then was what should be done with the present structure. For weeks, board members discussed this, re viewing various prospects, many of them iffy ones. a THE proposal as approved last night is the out come of all these discussions. The plan, basic ally, is to build a new high school for 2,000 stu dents, using the present industrial arts facilities and adjacent classrooms as an annex and utiliz ing the main high school and special education classes. Some unused student space will be left, but this, if enrollment trends continue in their present pattern, will be utilized by 1970, five years after the new high school is The proposal, perhaps, is not ideal. But it appears to be the most feasible plan discussed by the board in the past year or so. IT IS a plan which assures continuation of the high quality educational program now offer ed. It is a plan with flexibility, and a plan easily adaptable to an expanded program. Advances in the educational process are nec essary to heli) meet the Unless school districts, and eventually their elementary schools, continue to expand their programs, they are not meeting the challence of education today. This challenge is being met bv the Medford district in the plan approved by the board last night. rJ.ll.A. The Work Ahead The decision to proceed with construction of a new high school in Medford is only the first in a series of decisions on the school by the board. Jt has yet to make decisions on what type of educational plant it will be, the most economical building material, and many more decisions, all of which are as important as any other. lhe hoard has at its disposal literature from throughout the country on school buildings, in cluding new ideas and recent developments. The decisions made concerning the new nigh school, we are sure, will not be made hastily.. E.H. A. Challenge now offered because it sound.

And through their secondary, the northeast section of "Read Me That One Again About The Bull And The Bears" Today & Tomorrow By Walter Lippmann (c) New York Herald Tribune Syndicate REFLATION AND THE DOLLAR There is under way the for mation of a policy to stimulate the recovery, which is now sluggish, and to sustain and prolong it against the on set of another rec e s s i o n. Within the Admini s t r a tion this spe cific program of measures, Lippmann parucul any the timing and shape of the tax cut, is still being studied, and the final decision will pre sumably be made when the figures come in during the next three months. But there is general agreement, which has wide public support, that the American economy needs expansive measures to make sure that the present recovery is not aborted. There is agreement also that in making the program of measures this country is not an island which can ignore Europe and the opinion of European bankers and invest ors. We have become a deficit country in international pay ments, and foreigners have on deposit in this country some $24 billion for which they have the right to demand pay ment in gold. The question which hangs over us is wheth er, if we reflate our economy by reducing taxes and thus incur a larger deficit in the administrative budget, the Europeans will start a run on our gold reserves by cashing in their dollars. THIS Is a very serious ques tion, and we would Indeed be caught in a dangerous squeeze if it were true that a program to restore full em ployment to our own economy could be adopted only at the risk of provoking an inter national panic over the dollar. The answer to the question is that there will be no such squeeze unless the responsible officials and private financiers on both sides of the Atlantic become suddenly imprudent and reckless. On the part of the Ameri can officials there are certain recognizable limits beyond which they cannot prudently carry the expansive measures They cannot, as in the past, make money cheaper here than it is in the European fi nancial market. Money must, in fact, be somewhat dearer so that there is no incentive to take dollars away from the United States and move them to Europe. Furthermose, the Americans who are managing the ex pansive program must watch very carefully so as to arrest it when it begins to suck in too many imports and to cause a rise in American prices. The managers will also have to re sist rises in wages and prices, as in the steel Industry for example, because these make our exports less competitive and therefore increase the deficit in our balance of in ternational payments. Above all, the managers must fit the expansive meas ures to the fact that their task is to overcome a deflation and that this will be achieved when they have reached a modest goal of no more than about 4 per cent unemploy ment. If they act in this con servative way, there will be no inflation, and therefore there will be no rational reason for a run on our gold reserves. HAVING said that, it must also be said that the gold problem is not an American problem alone. It is Europe's problem no less. The problem has been created since 19IS0, that is to say. since the United States adopted the Marshall Plan for European recovery and the Truman Doctrine for the containment of Commu nism. Since 19."i0 we have run an average net deficit in our international transactions of nearly $2 billion a year. Over the whole period this tus amounted to a deficit of about $24 billion. I In foreign capital invest ment, in military expenditures abroad, and in foreign aid we have paid out $24 billion more than we have earned. By doing this, we have helped the recovery and the defense of Europe, and we have pro vided the reserves on which the post-war monetary systems of the free economies rest. IT IS obvious that a Europe an run on the dollar, if it became panicky, would shake the monetary system of Eu rope at least as badly as it would shake our own, perhaps more badly. Moreover, Euro peans who are wise in the ways of the world - having lived through years of mone tary instability - will realize two things. One is that a na tion as powerful financially as is the United States can, if driven to it, defend itself in a great variety of ways. The other Is that no strong nation will sacrifice the control of its own economic development to unreasonable pressures from abroad. When the United States undertook the Marshall Plan, which has been such a brilliant success, it never agreed to subject itself to the opinions and prejudices of elderly bankers in Zurich and elsewhere. THERE is every reason to think that there will be no panic. The machinery already exists to protect the dollar while the American economy is being reflated. There has recently come into being ef fective cooperation among the central bankers of. the West ern world. It is reasonably safe to assume that among these central bankers today there is a preponderant num ber who were brought up in modern economic teaching, and will understand quite well what it is that is going on here. Timothy Tugbutton In Fearsome Rage; Says 'Tain't Fair1 By LYLE C. WILSON United Press International Washington -I1IPU- The Hon. Timothy Tugbutton stormed into the newsroom today in a fearsome rage, striking out with his cane and hol lering, "Tain't right and I ain't gonna stand for it." Whacking his stick o n the newsdesk, the Pt,n, tercd the tip.

We're in the red and when we have a chance to save a few dimes or pennies, the government is looking the other way. 'Tain't right, that's what it is." Breathless for the moment, the old man produced a news clipping, slapped it on the desk in front of G. Dillman, the office drudge. "What about that?" he de manded. "Here is this Organi zation of American States lay ing out nearly $2.10.000 for an Italian firm to study agricul ture in Ecuador, and who pays the bill?" "I'll tell you who pays the bill. The U.S. taxpayer, that's who." Dillman examined the clip ping.

MEDFOHD, OREGON Nehru May Be Changing His Mind About Purchasing Russian Planes By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst When word leaked out a month ago that India was con sidering the purchase of Soviet MIG fighter jets, short - temper ed Indian De fense Minister Krishna Men on sna p p e d that it was no body's b u s 1 ness but In dia's. Speak Vv?f SaaaWt Newiom ing in more moderate terms. Prime Min Nehru con- ister Jawaharlal firmed that the MIG jet deal not only was being consider ed but probably would go through. The supersonic MIG 21 was less complicated than Western models, he said, and was rugged. Another factor was that the Russians offered to build a plant in which the Indians could manufacture their own MIGs. This week it appeared that Nehru might be changing his mind and that Krishna Menon erred when he said the deal was India's business alone. Behind In Air Power India's concern over the state of its air force sprang from two sources. Her old French and British- 9 East Germans Nabbed by Police Berlin -fflPt- Communist po lice have arrested at least nine East Germans who at tempted to crash a stolen truck through barbed-wire fences' into West Berlin, the East German news agency ADN reported tonight. ADN alleged the mass es cape attempt, late Saturday or early Sunday, had been pre arranged with West Berlin authorities. It said nine men were arrested when the truck neared the East-West city bor der. The report of the new escape attempt came in the wake of these other develop ments: - East German Communist leader Walter Ulbricht said in a speech released today that President Kennedy "is mov ing toward positive recogni tion" of the present borders dividing Germany. Ulbricht made the speech Sunday. West Berlin police erect ed sandbag and earth shelters as protection against the bul lets of ..Communist border guards. - The Soviet Tass news agency denounced forthcom ing U.S. troop shifts between West Berlin and West Ger many as "a new military dem onstration." program in which the United States is to invest billions of dollars in an effort to raise living standards in South and Central America. The study is to be carried out under the super vision of technicians representing the Organiza tion of American States. "What's wrong with that, Tim?" Dillman inquired. "Seems like a good idea, a study like that." "A'course it's a good idea," Tugbutton replied, getting red again in the face. "But why an Italian firm? The U.S. handed this Organization of American States S6 million to help along the Alliance for Progress. That's where that study money will come from, the study money that is being exported to Italy. "That young fella in the White House, wasn't he saying just the other day that our trouble in the U.S. wasn't in flation or big government de ficits or the like o'that? He said our trouble was too many dollars escaping from the USA. like these study dollars are escaping to Italy. "What I want to know is who made the deal to give this $6 million to this Organi zation of American States with no strings attached about spending the money In the U.S. if what was wanted was available here. That's what I want to know. "We spend so much money on our Agriculture depart ment that we can't raise It by taxes and the department has so many employees you can't count 'em. And who does this farm 'study in Ecuador? The Italians, that's who. "That don't make no sense to me." Tugbutton said an grily. "It ain't the only thine in Washington that don't make no sense, either." built et lighters were no match for the 12 U.S. F104 jet fighters with which Pakistan was supplied a year ago. For years India has been feuding with Pakistan over the status of Kashmir. India was concerned also over her border quarrel with Red China, and for that rea son, too, wished to expand her fighter strength. The Russians offered to supply 32 planes for two squadrons. Pressure against the deal came from both the United States and Britain, and prob ably also from inside the In dian air force itself. Not helping India's case was her utter refusal to permit in Indian - occupied Kashmir a plebiscite in which the Kash miris would have the oppor tunity to decide their own fu ture. There was, in addition, a general lack of enthusiasm for Krishna Menon, a man who never seemed to lack an opin ion on world affairs and whose opinions more often than not seemed to lean to the Commu nist side of the argument. Aid in Question Finally, on the United States' side, there was another consideration. One was that U. S. aid to India, already spent or ap proved, is approaching the $5 billion mark, more than four times as much as India has re ceived from the Soviet Union. India, unlike Pakistan which receives U. S. military aid under both the CENTO and the SEATO treaties, has refused all forms of military aid. But it would be hard to convince Congress that U.S. economic aid at least indirect ly also would finance the new MIGs. Strictly Personal By Sydney J. Harris (c Field Enterprises Inc. From time to time, readers write in to accuse me of being too "psychological" in my ap p r o a c h to problems. I was beginning to wonder whether or not this might be true-until I took a few c o r r e c -tive tennis e s s o ns last Harvls week. Now, tennis is an extremely physical game: a game of stance and motion, of stroking and footwork. I have been playing the game, in my own fashion, for more than 30 years, and thought it was time I learned something about the fundamentals. To my vast: surprise (and also to my delight), the tennis pro spent more time on my head than he did on my feet or my arms. His approach to this "physical" game was as "psychological" as could be. Most of my playing faults, it turn out. are mental in origin, and cannot be cor rected merely by changing my posture or my timing of shots. I have an anticipation of failure. I am ashamed to look awkward swinging at a ball, and, most of all, I suffer from middle-age in ertia - which is a slate of mind rather than of body. In a narrow technical sense, my strokes are good. But what is basically wrong with my game is my atti tude toward it. I wait for the "ideal" ball to come along, and if it doesn't, I make only a half-hearted attempt to hit it properly. Again, like most players below the expert class. I am afraid both of hitting the net and of hitting lhe ball out of the court - and these two fears operate to make me hit many more balls into the net and out of the court than I otherwise would. Of course, what is true of my tennis game is true of your golf game an his swim ming prowess and her skiing - and anybody's attempts to master some "physical" activ ity requiring skill and co-ordination. The merely physical part is the easiest to learn, as a kind of automatic reflex ac tion. When big - league baseball players fall into a batting slump, or when crack golf ers return to a pro for some remedial lessons, they are really trying to overcome a mental block in their play ing - and overcoming a men tal block means to stop think ing consciously and to begin acting instinctively, in a free and natural nanner. The lessons have improved m; tennis: more than that, they have reaffirmed my con viction that the psychological approach is fruitful not only in the realm of ideas and feelings, but also In what we wrongly think of as purely physical activity. 'J In May. the Senate Foreign Relations Committee rejected a proposed $90 million in crease in aid commitments to India and let the figure stand at last year's $727 million. A charge that Khrishna Menon sought to orient In dia's air force toward the Soviet Union is both doubtful and hard to prove. Not hard to see was the fact that an Indian deal for Russian MIGs might be far more expensive In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Up in the edge of Portland, the little town of Damascus (population 200) is holding a World Fair. It is something new in the way of World Fairs. Most of them, including Seattle, look forward to the fantastic future. Damascus is looking back ward to the past - backward to Century 19, instead of for ward to Century 21. Instead of a Space Needle, with a re volving restaurant high up in the air, it features a horse power contraption, modeled after the ancient merry-go-round. And so on. HOW'S is doing? Well, it got. off to a bad start when its Grand Opening a couple weeks ago was rained out. Undiscouraged, Damascus held a second Grand Opening. This time it hit the jackpot. It drew an attendance of 25,000. NE of the fascinating facets U of which Is BIG business in these days - is that one can never tell what will hit the tourist's fancy, causing him to STOP OVER instead of burning up the pavement to FAR PLACES. You've heard, of course, of Portland's mother e 1 e phant and her baby. They are turn ing out to be one of the BIG successes in the way of STOP PING the tourist. In order to accommodate the curious, it has been found necessary to provide special busses from the down town Portland area to the zoo. Seattle-bound visitors are stop ping over by the hundreds to get a look at the elephant mother and child. AT the Century 21, the state of Oregon has a special ex hibit planned as a part of Oregon's 1962 tourist pro gram. What is it? Basically, it is a REST area. It is amply provided with comfort able chairs where visitors may come to rest their tired feet. The walls are covered with pictures of Ore gon's entrancing scenery. The idea is that people will come from all over the country to Seattle to see the wonders of the future. Drawing on the experience of the past, it was taken for granted that these people would GET TIRED -and how! JT was further assumed that they would welcome a place to sit down and rest, and that while resting their attention could be drawn to the lovely Oregon scenery, as depicted in pictures easily visible from a soft and comfortable seat. It was further deduced by Oregon's tourist planners that the pictures viewed from a comfortable chair, would lead a pleasing number of tourists to want to see these attractive places on the way home. It seems to be working out. Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF ACCORDING TO Russell Austin, a well known beerrnakef loved to man his flourishing brewery with hulking fel lows who could down incredible quantities of the ambei? fluid. "You see that fire bucket hanging on the wall?" he boasted to one visitor. "Fritz here can fill that pail with beer and drink it down with out pausing for breath. Nicht wahr, Fritz?" "Ja, mein Herr," bellowed Fritz, "but would you excuse me for a minute?" He retired momentar ily, returned to fill the bucket with foaming brew, and downed it in one long draught. The awed visitor asked why he had left the room first. "I didn't know for sure I could do it," confessed Fritz, "so I just went outside to try it first." e An oculist had prescribed expensive new glasses for a ricli patient, and, meeting him soon after at Carnegie Hall, asked if the change had proved helpful. The new specs are just fine," beamed the patient "My wifa likes the frame, they fit well behind the ears, and for distance, they can't be beat. There's just one tiny flaw I might mention, however. I atill walk off the wrong end of ferryboats." . There's a Very Important Gentleman in St. Petersburg, Flor ida, who will think twice before he demands again an unlisted number for his telephone. Ha was on a business trip to Xe Vork and wanted to call his home for some essential information. He was told that his unlisted number had been chanced".

America's Two Faces To the Editor: Two faces of America. Of all the nations on earth, only America is afflicted with this phenomenon of caring less for their own citizens. Pick up any newspaper. There for ail to read is tha threat if $75 million isn't promptly paid to the Philip pines, our key bases in tha Philippines might be taken from us. America must pay for the damage done by tha Japs. Approximately $2,200, 000,000 has been paid to Tito's Yugoslavia in military and economic aid. South America must be built up and cared for. Africa must be sup ported and England hasn't paid her debt for World War I. We are told by the propa ganda machines that we see things in the sky that aren't there, we are all millionaires; in short, a neurotic race. This on top of the storm brewing over the King-Anderson bill on health care for the aged. The average check for Social Security is $138 rT month which pays for tha basic needs for the aged. How are these people going to pay $20 per day for hospitaliza tion or buy health insurance? The disabled veteran must travel 300 miles by bus to reach the nearest veterans' hospital, and upon arrival go into a hassel as to whether the disease for which the vet eran is being admitted is serv ice connected or not. If not service connected, then the veteran must sign a pauper's oath. When the AMA blasted the veteran last year, not a voice was raised throughout tha land. Congressmen, Senators, Presidents and ex-Presidents have Bethesda Naval hospital to go to and the ex-Army Walter Reid in Washington. Their medical problem is cared for. The peasants of America are beginning to question the pompous propaganda coming out of Washington, and we find that our federal prisons are falling apart at the seams and high unemployment is all about us. We are beginning to wonder hadn't we better keep our own house in order before trying to rebuild and replace a civilization that is happy with their way of life? The Marshall plan started out to help the war ravished countries, and the American taxpayer ends up supporting the world. It is called hu mane to see that the foreigner has food, clothing, housing and medical aid, but to aid an American makes him a human leach? Genevieve Briggs Whitewater Ranch Wilderville, Ore.
