A1EDF0RD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREOON ; SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 24. 1983 Brown Says Kennedy's Death 'Further Sacrifice to Peace' By DE VAN L. SHUMWAY And ROBERT FAIRBANKS United Press International SACRAMENTO, Calif. (UPI) Gov. Edmund G. Brown, his eyes filled with tears, said Fri day that President Kennedy's death was "a further sacrifice that this man has made to peace and understanding in the world." "One of the great American presidents has died," he said. Brown sobbed as he prefaced a short statement, and said he hoped President Kennedy's "sac rifice may bring about a lesson ing of some of the hatreds, not only in our own country but in the world." The governor held a news con ference in his council chamber at noon in response to news men's requests for a statement on the assassination of the Pres ident. Offering his personal condol ences, the governor said he hoped everyone in California would offer a prayer. He asked everyone to go home and can celed his own appointments for the rest of the day. "I don't think it would be fit ting for any work to be done today," Brown said. ' Brown was sitting at his Capitol desk when he heard the first news of President Ken nedy's assassination. Jack Burby, his news secre tary, tore the news from the teletype machines of the two major news agencies installed in a room nearby. Brown immediately jumped to his feet, ran to the room con taining the machines and read subsequent reports himself for the next five minutes. Burby said the governor then returned to his office, where he remained in seclusion under "deep shock." Brown's first words were "Oh, my God." Later, Burby went into the governor's office at the request of newsmen and brought out this message: "Just tell them I'm praying." Within minutes after the first report, crowds began to gather at the United Press Internation al office on the second floor of the Capitol Building. "Is it true?" was invariably their first question. They stood near the bank of teletype machines, . not really believing what they saw. They saw hope for the President's lite in every line of copy. Legislators Shocked , Among the first to arrive in the UPI offce was Assembly man Charles J. Conrad, R-Sher-man Oaks, the lower chamber minority floor leader. He was visibly shocked. Lonrad was made up for a part in a television pilot film be ing filmed in the Assembly chamber. He had a handkerchief around his neck to keep the makeup off his collar. "They play rough in Texas," he mumbled. Assembly Speaker Jesse M. Unruh, D-Inglewood, was at his home. He had just returned from a trip to the Far East for the federal State Department. His voice shaking with emo tion Unruh told UPI over the telephone "I just can't believe it. I can't talk. I only met Tex as Gov.- John Connally last week at a football game." Douglas Baker, executive sec retary to Lt. Gov. Glenn M. An derson, was in the UPI office when the first flash came. He dashed down the hall to Ander son's office. Anderson Issued a statement saying, "The fact that our Pres ident would be shot is perhaps the greatest tragedy of our life time. It is a deep personal shock to me. His death stuns not only our own country but tne entire world as well. School Budget Procedure May Be More Complicated by Law The already complicated school district budget forms and procedure will be even more complicated because of the re vised school budget law, House Bill 1229, according to County School Supt. Alf B. Mekvold. Mekvold presented a sum mary of the new budget law and new budget forms to a meeting of the Jackson County School Superintendents' Associ a t i o n last week. The summary was made after considerable detailed study of the new law and conferences with officials of the state de: partment of education and the state tax commission. It is not yet complete, Mekvold explain ed. Budget Officer New One of the new major changes is designation of a budget of ficer, now required in each school district. The budget officer is designat ed by the school board, and will supervise the preparation of the budget document. He may be the superintendent, a certified public accountant, the clerk, or someone on the staff. The offi cer will be directly responsible to the district superintendent. Currently, the superintendent has been considered the budget officer, Mekvold said. The new budget forms require that "estimates of expenditures shall be prepared by funds and itemized for personal serv ices, materials and services, and capital outlay." Another section in the law provides not only for one emer gency fund, or "general operat ing contingency fund" for the Flight to Antarctica includes Four Seasons By MARTIN GERSHEN , MCMURDO STATION, Anaictica (UPI) You pass through all four seasons of the year to reach this end of the world from Washington, D. C. But it only takes 30 hours of flying time to do it. Air Force C135 jet trans ports make the big leep on the "Deep Freeze" run from Washington to Christchurch, New Zealand. The flight from New Zea land's south island city to ant arctica's icy gateway is made in a C130 Turbo Prop Hercules transport in about eight hours The C135 leaves Washing ton, D. C. , in the fall, hits Honolulu during summer-like Hawaiian weather and visits New Zealand in the spring time. Then the Hercules takes the polar bound passengers on the final leg of their voyage, landing them on the Ross Sea ice shelf near here and de barking them into the howling sub-zero Antarctic. During the more than 12,oou mile trio passengers gain seven hours chasing the sun but lose 24 by crossing the International date line. in the same trip that brings them across the 180th mer dian the hundreds of service men and scientists bound for his ice station cross the equator and the Antarctic cir- pole and begins his return voyage to the states, he can leave McMurdo station today and arrive back in Washing ton yesterday. Space age technology is shrinking the world so rapid ly that even its lost white con tinent is becoming a suburb of civilization, upsetting some age old traditions. Crossing the equator and the date line no longer mean a thing. "I can't be bothered with ceremonies; there were times when I crossed the equator four times a week," blandly observed T. Sgt. Pick ens H. Stewart, 36, a flight engineer with the 18th air transport squadron of Mc Guire Air Force Base, N. J. Stewart, of Mineral Wells, Texas, said the C135 was too small to allow its 74 passen gers room for ceremonies. However, Petty Officer First Class Walter F. Stang, or Route 2, Union Bridge, Md., observed: "the Navy still gives you a certificate if you cross the equator or 180th meridian by ship. That's the real way to do it." A 3 3 Over 60 Correlated Pieces To Choose From general fund, but also that sepa rate emergency funds may be provided tor each ot other spe cial funds. Repeals Working Fund The new law also repeals the cash working fund which amounts to 2& per cent of the annual budget, Mekvold said A balance remaining in such a fund must now (beginning with the budgets for 1964-65) be in cluded in the "available cash on hand at the beginning of sheet 1 in the budget form." me cash working fund has been used to meet current ex penses until receipts start com ing in in November of each scnoot year, this means now that a district may legally pro vide tor carrying over cash bal ances to be used as operating cash reserves when such are provided for under "unappro priated balance." The action is usually followed in Jackson County. The new law merely requires it. The new law also provides that a budget message shall be prepared by the executive of ficer or superintendent and shall be delivered with the budget document at the first public meeting. Explain Budget The message shall explain the budget document, outline pro posed financial policies, des scribe the important budget fea tures, explain significant changes in appropriations and receipts, and explain major changes in financial policies. Also, a preliminary public meeting or hearing is required when the budget message is de livered and the budget docu ment is submitted by the budget officer. The budget officer must nublish a notice in a newspaper of general circulation at least eight days prior to me meeting. A second meeting of the budg et committee must be held not less than 10 days after the first meeting. Then any person pres ent mav give his views on any of the budget proposals or pro nose additions or deletions ot proposed programs. There are also a large num ber of minor changes, Mekvold noted cle. to the tt ,un nnntinlie on II mcj v . .. pole another uju hem to the geographic south pole where .the U.
