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.

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.

Pompidou had been expect
ed to announce formation of
his cabinet tonight. 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.
The swift move to form a
new government in the wake
of Sunday's overwhelming vic
tory for De Gaulle's followers
came as police accused a for
mer naval officer of planning
to kill the president at a mill
tary parade last July 14.
The murder plotter was
identified by police as 2nd
Lt. Jean-Paul Gras, a deserter
from the marines. 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.
De Gaulle returned to Paris
during the day along a heavily
guarded railroad route follow
ing attendance at the funeral
of former President Rene
Coty in Le Havre. 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. He said he thought this
was not enough to do the Job.
This was the fifth plot
against De Gaulle life re
ported since September, 1961,

La Paz, Boliva-WPD-Pollllcal circles here
were In turmoil today because of the un
precedented challenge by a petile congrcjis
woman to a leader of the government party
to meet her In a duel to the death.
The executive committee of the govern
ing National Revolutionary Movement MNR
called an emergency mceling to discuss Rosa
Lema Dolz's challenge to provincial MNR
leader Armando Bascope, who expelled her
from the party for "lack of discipline."
An estimated 450 women, with their
children, went on a hunger strike In token
support for the fiery, 4-foot 11-Inch congress
woman, who is 33.
Bascope Is not known to have replied to
Mrs. Dolz's challenge. She charged Monday
night that he is afraid to meet her because
he knows she Is a crack shot.
"If he won't duel, I'll kill him anyway,"
she said.
As the challenged party, Bascope has the
choice of weapons. Mrs. Dolz wants lo shoot
it out with revolvers.
