10 A MONDAY. MARCH 11. 1963 MEDFO'.D MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON Education Board Postpones Approval of Communism Study (Editor's note: The board Educators and board mem- instruction, Leon Mincar, ex How can we teach about communism without actually teaching communism? Are we going to teach communism or just about it?" Francis I. Smith, Portland, countered "Communism can't be minimized, the facts must be put smack on the table." Too Much Status Scanlon said he felt the teacher guide "Understanding the Nature of Communism" gave too much status to com munism. "Maybe what we need instead- is a voice of America program in our schools." Scanlon added, "I am not ing that to be forewarned is to be foerarmed." of education postponed ap proval of a course on com munism for public high schools to give the matter more study. This is the first of series of dispatches on this issue.) I bcrs favor the idea of the pro I ornm in make students morn plained at Wednesday's board meeting, high school princi pals throughout the state have asked for guidance for teach ing such a course. Minear pointed out that the American Legion, the Ameri can Bar association and the National Education associa tion favor teaching about communism in the schools. At Wednesday's meeting, board member Thomas L. Scanlon, Portland, pointed out there was a lack of under standing of our own system. S. E. Brogoitti, Helix, asked opposing teaching about com munism. I just think that this is the wrong way to go about it." Mrs. J. B. Caldwell, Ore gon City, may have been voic ing the board's feeling when she commented "Teaching how communism and democ racy work is terrific, but we must consider the approach we take in this matter." Minear said the commu nism publication - designed as a teaching aid to be dis tributed only to teachers -was developed "with the feel aware of the dangers of the communist system by explain ing to them what communism really is.

(UP1) No Dancing Girls Prov ided Comfort Possible in Brand New Sam Rayburn Office Building By DICK WEST United Press International WashtiiRton - IUP1I - Rising like a medieval fortress from the foot of Capitol Hill, and . stretching al most to the summit, Is the new $82.0 million Ray burn House Office Build lng and play pen. High walls of granite wen command its western approaches, includ ing the botanic gurdens and other nearby hotbeds. Based on my exj ?rlcnce as a non-commissioned non-combatant In World War II, -I would estimate that its ram parts could be defended by a single cannon, provided It were Chairman Clarence Can non of the Mouse Appropri--tions committee. 1 mention these military potentials only to show that the premises are secure from siege by hostile taxpayers There is nothing spartan about the building itself. When construction is com pleted next year, Its appoint ments will match those of the new Senate Office build ing, which has been describ ed, to choose one of the mild er adjectives, as "a marble palace." i Until this week, my ac quaintance with the Rayburn building - named in honor of the late Speaker Sam Ray burn, who deserved a better fate - was limited lo external appraisal. On Wednesday, however, arrangements were made to give newsmen a ;eek at a couple of the 1U9 throe-room suites contained therein. Newsmen being notoriously nosy, our inspection party was provided with an escort IT'S YOUR LAW Rriprfl tr Law AMri Drntufrary !.lvf Beware of Mochanic'i Liens Are you aware that when you hire a contractor to build a house or allcr a building, you are responsible to ;'ec that bills for the construct ion alteration or repair arc paid, even though you may have paid the contractor In full? The law gives to sub-contractors, laborers and persons furnishing materials a lien on the property on which the work Is done or for which the materials arc furnished to secure the payments of their accounts. Such liens are call ed "mechanic's liens." If an owner of property hires his own labor or buys his own material, it Is easy for him to sec that the bills are paid. However, If he em ploys a contractor, then the problem is more difficult be cause the contractor will of ten hire sun-contractors (plumbers, painters, plaster ers, etc.) and buy materials. These sub contractors and materialmen have the riijht to a lien on the property If they arc not paid by the con tractor. To obtain his lien a sub contractor or materialman must give written notice to the property owner that he has furnished labor or ma terial on the property and that he will claim a lien against such real estate in the event he is not paid by the contractor. Many sub-con-tractors and materialmen give such notices as a routine prac tice to preserve their lien rights. Then, if upun completion of the work he is not paid by the contractor, the sub contractor or materialman will file a lien claim. If the lien is not satisfied (the amount due paid) by the con tractor or the property own er, a lawsuit may be brought lo foreclose the mechanics lien - much In the same man ner as the foreclosure of a mortgage. Obtain Waivers How can a properly owner protect himself against ihe tiling of mechanic's liens against his properly? The simplest way is lo deal witli a contractor who is reliable and responsible. Secondly, he can require the contractor lo obtain lien waivers from all Ihe sub contractors and ma terialmen prior to making fi nal payment on the contract price noon completion. Where a property is being purchased, whether it be a new house or an old one, the purchaser should Inquire to sec whether there is any pos sibility of mechanic's liens being filed against it. To pro tect himself against such se cret liens that have yet to be filed, the purchaser may require that the seller agree to satisfy any mechanic's liens arising from work done dur ing the seller's ownership of Hie property. If the house is a new one. the purchase may request the seller to obtain lien waivers from the con tractor, subcontractors .uvt materialmen. (Oregon lawyers oflcr this column as a public service.

I am therefore unable lo file a progress report on the gymnasium, swimming pool and oilier off-limit areas. Contrary to what you miglu expect for $82.0 million the suites are not outfitted in Or iental splendor. Any congress man who might want to live like a sultan will have to supply his own dancing girls. Nevertheless, I feel certain that even the ; ost delicate lawgivers will be able to make themselves comfy. The basic decor is what I would classify as "Madison Avenue Renaissance. Each suite has a kitchenette with built-in refrigerator, a clock with signal lights link. ' j the House chamber, two lava- lories, about 75 built-in file drawers and a built-in safe. Some have picture windows overlooking a freeway. On a clear day, you can sec a traf fic jam. Thev also have sev eral skeleton-sue closets and a large lobby. I did not, how ever, sec any built-in lobbyists. Regardlcra of how little In fluence he may have, no law giver occupying the new building need fear a nower shortage. Every suite has 61 electric wall plugs. Sceina thai made mc wish I had a few buill-ln shares of utilities stock. HOW COME Fluhrer's Holsum BREAD NOW TASTES BETTER THAN EVER?
