Nearly 4,31)0 Santa Ana Via Closed By WILLIAM COLEMAN United Press International SANTA ANA, CALIF. (UPI) - I he unction or a school is to teach, not feed." With that comment, a top school administrator (or the San ta Ana unified school district answered parents who com plained about the schools' cafe terias being remodeled into tel evision classrooms. Nearly 4,:IA0 tSanta Ana stu dents are learning by television under a system begun this year. This system could become the largest closed-circuit instruction program in the world if it is carried out under present plans. Plan Program The National Education Serv ices has planned a four-stage program which eventually will include six closed-circuit chan nels. They will be used about nine hours a day by the ele mentary grades, plus adult edu cation in the evenings. Charles Klasck, television di rector for the school district, said the availability of funds and success of the instruction will determine whether the system will he developed fully. Kliisek believes the cost of television will he offset during the first year through more ef ficient use of classroom space, less expense for visual aids and fewer teachers. The cost of the system (or the first year is $.l75,()i)0, excluding Students Learning Circuit Television supplies and salaries for Klasck and his five-member staff. Receive Instructions The children in grades three through seven receive instruc tion on such subjects as science, social studies, music and Span ish. The fifth and sixth graders Police Officers Submit Resignations Two Medford police officers, with a combined total of 19 years' experience in the de partment, have submitted their resignations, Chief Charles P. Champlin has announced. Leaving the department are Patrolmen William A. Hall, 124 Washington st., and Robert J. Allen, 2664 Old Military rd. "We hale to see them leave," Chief Champlin said. It is really unfortunate to lose men with that much experience." Hall, a veteran of seven years experience on the city police force, has accepted a position with Selby Glass com pany. Allen, who has been with the department a total of 12 years, has taken a position with the Medford post office. Santa Ana students are learning by television under a system started this year. lUPI) watch two 15-minute programs each day. Several classes use the multi-purpose classrooms to gether under the guidance of two special teachers who expand and explain the day's lessons after they have come over the mon itors. Then the children return to their own classrooms and spend the rest of the day in conven tional education with their own teacher. After school, teachers receive two hours of television instruc tion each week in economics for which they are given college credit. The special monitors for this closed-circuit system were man ufactured by Giannin Controls Corporation's Conrac division of Glcndora, Calif. Few parents have any com plaints about the system taking over the cafeterias now that they have seen the results of this new concept of teaching the Santa Ana schools. .Jul) UU M li MOj JmlXj 1 Fresher than Southern Oregon's ONLY MEuttMU niHIL "IHIBUNE, Mt-Urxxw. OREGON . THE WEEK IN CALIFORNIA Tito's Planned Trip Called Off Because of Attack of Flu By United Press International The planned trip to California of President Tito of Yugoslavia was cancelled at the last min ute when the 71-ycar-old Com munist leader was stricken by influenza. Tito was bedridden in Wil liamsburg, Va., only hours be fore he was to leave for a visit to Yosemite National Park and a week end in San Francisco. Tito had been invited to visit by Gov. Edmund G. Brown when the governor toured Yugo slavia during his summer va cation. The invitation had drawn blasts of criticism from GOP floor leader in the Assambly Charles J. Conrad, who said Brown was guility of "the native and dangerous belief that the plight of enslaved millions would be cased" with Tito's vis it. Spate of Effigies As the visit approached, a spate of effigy hangings occur red in Fresno, not far from Yosemite, and in the state cap itol. Brown, who said he had hoped to influence Tito with a "good example of free enterprise" by showing him the state, said the demonstrations came from peo ple who . . . lack confidence in our democratic system." Elsewhere, there were these developments: Udall: Interior Secretary Ste wart L. Udall visited the state to promote his $4.1 billion Pa cific Southwest Water Plan. An ticipating at least one major objection from so - far cautious water groups in the state, Udall announced the Auburn dam-Fol-som south canal project had been cleared by the budget bu reau for congressional consider ation. But almost at the same mo ment, some of the thunder was robbed from Udall's announce ment by an almost identical an nouncement in Washington by Rep. Harold T. Johnson, D-Calif. Udall's announcement was seen as an attempt to answer objections that the massive plan would adversely affect other fed Wli III Ww Yes, young folks these days . . . always on the GO . . . need lots of nutritious, good-tasting BUTTER-NUT BREAD from Bock's.

Udall told the state water commission and about 500 persons at a commission meeting that the plan had not been offered on a "take it or leave it basis." The long range plan would use the resources of five states to meet demands of dryer regions such as southern California and por tions of Arizona. Trieste: The bathyscaph Tri este, which recovered debris from the sunken submarine Thresher, was headed home to San Diego from the East coast. The Trieste made 10 dives in 8.400 feet of water in search of the Thresher some 220 miles . ' east of Cape Cod, Mass. The I I enhmarinn canlf Ant-il 10 All ! 129 men aboard were lost. The j bathyscaph photographed and ' recovered bits of debris from the sub after making a long search to locate the hull. Goldwater: The head of the California Machinists non-partisan political league said in Long Beach that U. S. Sen. Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz., would "thor oughly unite all of organized la bor against him" if he ran for President. John T. O'Brien added that New York Gov. Nelson Rocke feller was more "appealing" but that he "just does not deliver on his liberal promises." O'Brien and two other labor officials, in cluding Thomas L. Pitts, secre tary of the California State La bor Federation, said labor was not happy with President Ken nedy's record but that Repub licans would lose labor support in the 1964 election by default. Right wing: Assemblyman William Stanton. D-San Jose, asked the state Public Utilities Commission to decide whether a private research foundation hired by the Pacific Gas and Electric company, was domi-: nated by "people with extreme ly conservative political views." The company disclosed it had been paying the company, West ern Research Foundation, $3,000 a year to screen employees working on "national security" projects for possible "subver- Great Fresh! Home-Owned and Operated Bakery sion." The company said "about half a dozen" employees had been so labeled during the 10 ih f,.,i0i; t,c mid. investigations. "I am not condemning right wing views," Stanton said, "but I am condemning the possibil ity that the right wing has cap- tured a function for providing information to determine wheth er anyone can hold a job." PTir nrncirlont William Pannat endorsed Stanton's suggestion ior government supervision 01 such investigations.
