By MORRIS LANDSBERG
SEOUL, April 5 P) The

U. S. Soviet commission quickly
to establish self-rule for all of
!. this country , '' ,
A top-ranking American out-
cer told the Associated Press to
day that a move is under way to
turn over affairs in the U. !.
zone (south of the 38th parallel)
to ' Korean officials, with the
AMG serving in an advisory ca
pacity. A state department spokesman
' In Washington expressed sur
, prise at the report, saying he
, doubted that American members
' of the U. S.-Sovlet commission
' ' would take unilateral action.
The American official here ex
plained, however, that the U. S.
delegation would have no part
in the proposed government for
southern Korea. He said the
Washington spokesman must
have misunderstood the story.
Factors ,
The officer said factors behind
the self-rule plan include, , be
sides the slowness of the joint

leaving their classes in three
high schools.

students at Reitz were sent
home soon afterward. Only

teacher after being told by the

placed next fall. Alex Jardine,
school superintendent, said Mrs.
Theodore Lockyear, board mem
ber, had accused Bretz of in
fluencing basketball players

then aereed that the mill-
i m u m financial requirement
should be $2000 in unencum

Tulelake viewpoint.
It was agreed at the meeting
that the minimum farming ex
perience should be two years of
full-time farming after the age
of 16.
It was also agreed that an
honorable discharge from service
in World War II should be suf
ficient character reference for
any applicant, provided he had
no post-service criminal record.
Important Role,
The matter of the make-up of
the examining board, which will
play an important role in the
homestead allotments, came in
for a long discussion.
Dunsmuir spokesmen asserted
that a lot of rumor and sus
picion had attended previous
homestead openings here, and
they said that members of the
VFW in northern California
wanted action that would protect
the examining board from sus
picion and criticism. They urged
that the opportunity be . given
for representation on the board
from outside the immediate
Klamath basin area.
This statement brought vig
orous assertions from many per
sons present to. the effect that
the examining board at the last
opening did an exceptionally
good job. The board's integrity
was emphasized by several
speakers.
- Finally, action was taken on
the question of the make-up of
the examining board for the
forthcoming opening, recommending-
that there be three
older members, and at least one
veteran of World War II on the
board. The fifth member would
be E. L. .Stephens, reclamation
superintendent.
It was generally agreed that
three of the lay members would
come from the immediate Klam
ath basin,' and a fourth from
some point outside the immedi
ate basin. Lockie McLeod of
Dunsmuir, a prominent Ameri
can Legionnaire, appeared to be
satisfactory to both Tulelake and
Dunsmuir people. Jack Hayes
of Alturas was also mentioned.
The board will be named by
the U. S. reclamation commis-

Under the drawing system
suggested at tne meeting, 174
names would be drawn from a
container in which the names of
all qualified applicants would be
placed.
The examining board would
then make a close investigation
of the winners, in the order

representation would be grounds
for disqualifying applicants. The
