A majority vote in Storm Lashes Eastern Seaboard Wilmington, N.C. -flJPD- An Atlantic storm lashed the Eastern Seaboard with strong winds and high tides today and the Weather Bureau warned of possible extensive flooding and beach erosion. " Some residents in low-lying areas along the Virginia coast were forced to leave their homes Monday. Heavy seas also tee loose the dredge "Virginia" from a tugboat in the Chesapeake Bay and washed it aground at Ocean View Beach, Va., Monday and the 48-foot ketch Avain sank off Charleston, SC. No casualties were reponcd as a result of the storm.

Cox said he would take the plan with him to Salem tomor row when he attends the Ore gon Association of County School Superintendents meet ing. The rural school board last night made one change in the original plan. Remaining bonded indebt edness incurred by a portion of the Valley View district when formerly a part of the Ashland school district would not be assumed by the reor ganized districts. The board reasoned that neither Medford nor Phoenix districts shared in the assets when that piece of land was part of the Ash land district. The property, which is now in the Phoenix school district, is owned by Mr. and Mrs. Vern Goodrich. Otherwise, the assets and liabilities of both districts would become a common re sponsibility of the new dis trict and a uniform levy would be spread over the new admin istrative district to retire any outstanding indebtedness. The new district combina tion would become effective July 1, 1963. A year later the school board of district 549C would be increased from five to seven members to govern the new district. Streams Receding In Western Oregon By United Press International A slack in rainfall allowed tributary streams to fall in Western Oregon today but I he weather man predicted the Willamette would continue lo rise from Corvallis to its mouth. However, no flooding of the big stream is forecast. The Willamette rose about four feet between Corvallis and Salem Monday but was still several feet below flood stage. It was falling above Corvallis. Heavy week end rains caused smaller streams such as the Yamhill, Tualatin and Molallo rivers to leave their banks - but they were drop ping today. The weatherman said the next vigorous storm system was over the Aleutian chain today but most of the mois ture from it may pass to the north of Oregon.

Mikoyan Meets With Stevenson At Thant Dinner Russian Ready To Talk Business United Nations, N.Y.-0IPD-The United States and Russia appeared close today to a set tlement of the Cuban crisis despite a difference over the question of verification. The atmosphere was bright er for wind-up negotiations be tween Soviet First Deputy Premier Anastas I. Mikoyan and U. S. officials as a result of a top-level dinner Mon day night in Acting Secretary General Thant's 38th floor suite. Mikoyan backed Cuban Premier Fidel Castro's policy o f "reciprocal inspections," but he indicated he was ready to talk business. After the dinner, U.S. Am bassador Adlai E. Stevenson said he and other U. S. of ficials would hold another meeting with the Russians Wednesday morning. Until then, both sides will review ground covered with Thant. Diplomatic sources in Wash ington said they expected Mikoyan would visit Washing ton for a talk with President Kennedy and Secretary of Stale Dean Rusk before re turning to Moscow. However, it was clear that if a meeting takes place it will be at the initiative of the Russian. Mikoyan told New York diplomats when ho was en route to Cuba almost a month ago that he wanted to visit Washington before going home. It is assumed that if Mikoy an goes to Washington he most likely will press for easing of U.S. economic and diplomatic sanctions against Cuba. A large part of his time in Cuba is understood to have been spent reviewing the is land's staggering economy and seeking ways to eliminate some of the mismanagement there. Indications were that any such effort on his part to case U.S. and hemispheric sanc tions would be rejected.

Search planes Airliner Wit Disapp Board of Control Will Sponsor 11 Legislative Bills Salem -IUPD- The state board of control today agreed to sponsor 22 bills in the 1963 legislature, but rejected one which would allow teen-agers in MacLaren School for Boys and Hillcrest School for Girls to smoke. Under terms of the bill, the young inmates could smoke with written consent of their parents or guardians. All three board members opposed the idea. Present Oregon law makes It illegal for anyone under 18 to smoke, either with or witlv out their parents' consent. A 1950 law opened uo the use I of tobacco to minors with par ental conseni oui mis was later repealed. Secretary of State Howell Appling Jr. said minors "shouldn't be permitted to smoke with or without their parent's permission." Gov. Mark Hatfield and State Treasurer Howard C. Bclton agreed. Hatfield said We would be better off not to resurrect this question." Bills being recommended to the legislature include those which would: Make the minimum term in the penitentiary and cor rectional institution one year. Anything less, prison officials say, doesn't allow enough time to evaluate an inmate and develop a rehabilitation program for him. Anything under a year would be a term in a county jail, according to the bill. Allow the board to devel op inmate work camps with any public agency, state or federal. The board is no re stricted to developing such camps with the state forestry department. The board ordered its staff to come back later with a bill that would exempt doctors at state institutions from any judgment of malpractice. If a judgment was brought In by a court, the stale would have to pay lt. Although such doc tors arc state employees, un der present law they have to pay such Judgments out ot their own pockets.

But the wording of the communique that De Gaulle had asked him to form it before Parliament meets again appeared to indi cate that step might be de layed for several days at least.

He and an other man with whom he had been staying, Marc Thibault, appeared before an examining magistrate on charges of plot- ling against the security of the stale.

He prompt ly met wllh Pompidou, who had been holding office as a caretaker premier following a parliamentary revolt Oct. 5. Dropped Plan Police said Gras confessed that he intended to assassinate De Gaulle during the parade but dropped the plan because the Secret Army Organization gave him only two hand gre nades.
