Study Report on
School Spending
Sacramento-iUPli - A report
came before the legislature
today showing that a Califor
nia school disrict was spend
ing nearly $80,000 annually
on a personnel director and
five consultants for fewer
than 200 teachers.
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-

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.

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."

Phoenix - HOT - Western
governors were warned today
they must act to straighten
out a "crazy quilt" of traffic
laws or face federal "incur
sions" into the field.
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.
"Gov ernors, individually
and collectively, must assert
more affirmative leadership
in traffic safety efforts, par
ticularly in the field of uni
form traffic laws, Montgom
cry told the 11 state execu
tives. Gov. Grant Sawyer of Ne
vada, another opening day
speaker, called for federal leg
Islation to open federal land
readily to lake care of ex
panding urban and suburban
areas and for private indus
trial and agricultural devel
opmcnls.
For the past two days, as
the governors arrived al the
conference site at nearby
Scottsdalc, they talked poli
tics - particularly about the
possible 1BB4 Republican pres
idential nominee.
Oregon Gov. Mark Hatfield,
a youthful Republican often
mentioned as a vice presiden
tial candidate, met newsmen
Sunday to say that New York
Gov. Nelson Rockefeller
would probably be the nom
inee - if the election were
held now.
However, he said Sen. Bar
ry Goldwater of Arizona was
the "No. 1 preference" of par
ty leaders. He refused to dis
miss the chances of Michigan
Gov. George Romncy and
Pennslvania Gov. William
Scranton.
He called his chances of
being a vice presidential nom
inee "moot" but did not re
move himself from conten
tion. "I would give consider
ation to any invitation given
by anyone to serve." he said.

then later said they might be,
If Oregon cut back its present

approved) bill.
Conflicting Reports
. "I'm not being critical of
the house or the ways and
means committee." Musa said,
"but we don't want to take
action on this until we know
where we stand."

Oregon would still be eligible
for federal aid under the
drastically reduced civil
tense organization approved
last week by the house.
