The report, filed by the district under requirements of a controversial state law, was presented to Sen. Stanley Arnold (D-Susanville), chair man of the Senate fact find- BEEFEATER BEEFEATER the imported English Girt that doubles your martini pleasure UntquaUM BEEFEATER GIN H PKOOF 100 GMIN KlllUM. SPHIti tsmm cokpomtkw pn ywk i , a. i ing committee on government al administration. Arnold, whose committee has regularly sought to limit school spending for admin istrative purposes, said after seeing the report that it was "further evidence that school districts are wasting money on non-essentials at the ex pense of classroom instruction." The district filed its report with the state department of education as part of its re quest for exemption from the two-year-old law. The meas ure, currently under attack in the legislature, requires elementary districts to spend 60 per cent of their Incomes on teachers' salaries, high school districts 30 per cent and unified districts 53 per cent The author, Assemblyman Charles G. Garrigus (O-Reed-ley) said that he believed the schools were underspending ior teachers, not because of a fund shortage, but because they were (pending too much on administration. The district in question sought an exemption on grounds that the Garrigus law would cause It "hardship." It aatd it had not uet the per centage requirements and list ed the following annual costs: $10,800 for a personnel director. $,4,060 for the director's secretary. $30,710 for five consult ants. $3,500 for teacher re cruitment trips over the nation. The district had an enroll ment of 6,000, an average class size of better than 32 students, and 182 teachers. The department granted the exemption. The cost of a loaf of bread went from 13.5 cents in 1947 to 20.0 cents in 1082. Need vacation money? Public Sale ol Abandoned Base Said Due June 24 Salem -WPH- Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) says the Gen eral Service Administration docs not plan to sell the Tongue Point Naval Station to an Astoria group for slight ly under $1 million. Morse addressed some 300 Democrats Saturday night. The Oregon Democrat said he was informed in a letter from the GSA that the agency now intends to put the abandoned $14 million naval station on public sale about June 24. To Continue Battle Morse said he will continue to battle for a federal use for the property and buildings. He served notice that he will carry his fight to the floor by trying to attach riders to ap propriations bills calling for new buildings where Tongue Point might be used instead. He said the GSA told him that it felt it would be abus ing its authority by selling Tongue Point to Astoria for $020,000 since the city intends to relay it immediately to a private group. Dtlay Sought Morse said he will try to postpone the June 24 date for public sale in order to "exhaust all possibilities for federal use. In reply to some criticism, he said he has been active in the Tongue Point situation from the beginning. Morse said "any time it is proposed to dispose of a $14 million property for less than $1 million, there exists the ingredients of a scandal." Mistake Conceded He said he has been in formed that Commerce Secre tary Luthcrn Hodges con ceded the station should have been used by the Coast and Geodetic Survey, which final ly located last year at Seattle. "The administration has ad mitted that it made a mistake last year in not locating the oceanography program of the geodetic survey at Tongue Point," he said. "I think it deserves a chance to rectify that mistake. 1 think it de serves a chance to make a new effort to utilize Tongue Point." m mmm m i A. sjasj WActArn flmiornnrc Warno.fi nn Travv limit I rafTIf L2WQ- UtfeUM Isf aahp Lkl rM.n SN Ml D IA A ni I Dom liaillWIU fllsef I1C1IIIV III V IVV I WIMVMtlUI mUV I .

The warning came from Robert Montgomery Jr., Wash ington, D. C, executive direc tor for the National Commit tee on Uniform Traffic Laws and Ordinances before the opening session of the three day 1B83 Western Governors' Conference.

He refused to dis miss the chances of Michigan Gov. George Romncy and Pennslvania Gov. William Scranton.
