That opinion was strength ened a few days ago when M. B. Winslow, Grants Pass school superintendent and a member of the state committee which devised the proposed distribution formula, miscal culated to the extent of about $173,000 on the effect of the distribution on local school dis tricts. He was here for a dis cussion of the question witn school boards. r, i.. Xfr Win. slow left, school officials here detected what they believed to be a miscalculation, got in touch with Mr. Winslow, and he agreed that a correction should be made. Mr. Winslow was one of a state committee which worked out the formula, another member of that committee being Dr. C. L. Huffaker of the University of Oregon school of education. In legislative circles, the formula is generally credited to Dr. Huffaker. There is feeling at Salem as well as here that a formula for distribution of the monev, esti mated to be about $16,000,000, should be at least understandable to the layman, something which can hardly be said for the Huffaker proposal. It appears likely that another and simpler plan for the distribution will be devised and offered to the legislature. Criticism SCHOOL officials said here that so near as they can figure, Klamath Falls elementary district will break about even, Klamath Union high school district will gain to the extent of about $62,000, and the county district will gain to some extent if elementary and high school departments are figured separately. Much opposition is coming from Multnomah county, which thinks it should get considerably more than the formula indicates. There is also opposition In the counties along the Union Pa cific in northeastern Oregon which, because of high valuation, are not likely to gain from the application of the Huffaker formula. One criticism of the plan that has been ad vanced here is that it takes into consideration assessed valuations, which vary widely in vari ous counties. Observers foresee further variance and competitive assessing among the counties in an effort to fare better under the rule, if that factor it made part of the distribution formula. Local officials indicate favor to a plan which would take into consideration average daily at tendance and teacher units as the main basis for distribution of the money. News Behind The News By PAUL MALLOlt WASHINGTON. Feb. 3 Not much attention hat been paid the invisible honeycombing of the- state department by some mysterious force which writers seem to find it difficult to describe. The figures have been published, but not widely. I am an intense reader. Yet I failed to see them.' At least you missed the only im portant part about them in the restricted way in . which writers had to touch them. They wrote the story leaning backward at if the heat from the figures was too hot for them. At any rale, here are the figures see if they are hot: The state department, our official diplomatic headquarters of policy, the citadel of the world movement to establish freedom of the individual from dictatorships, especially freedom to ex press himself this state department has just cleaned out 202 employees from its midst in con nection with its investigation of communist tac tics within. You cannot call the 202 commu nists sympathizers, or even describe them. Oh no! Some resigned at the mere threat of investi gation. Sensitive souls no doubt! Some quit when asked by investigators about themselves. They were Insulted unquestionably! Others just ran at that particular time. A desire to be free, no doubt seized them like a spasm. Well any how, 202 seem to have had a spasm to be free of government investigators and departed. Of the 3000 suspects to spasm sensitivity originally coming into the department from the office of war information and two other bureaus, the investigators went after 314. Only 59 were given a clean bill of spasm resistance and S3 cases are still being investigated mind you, these 53 are still in the department. Private Chase k OW the Byrnes regime clearly did not con- sider it advisable for anyone to talk about this fault any more than necessary or to con sider there might be spasm addicts in other stale bureaus. In fact, Byrnes denied frequently there were any communists (oh pardon mc spasmists, I do not want to be called a red bait er) spasmists in his department when congress pressed him. Actually he started weeding them out while denying they were there. Repeatedly in this column he was told they were there long before congress pressed him, and repeatedly he denied it. finally chasing them privately. That seems to be the truth of the matter. In any event, the important thing now is that only one of these chased 202 can be called a communist by a legal and respectable writer , who desires to avoid the trouble of proving it. That single one was indicted. Of course he de nied ardently he was a communist as they all do. However, the government investigators found he had been an organizer for the commu nist party prior to his employment by our gov ernment, and so they decided to prove he was what they knew him to be. Certainly the other 201 must be called "spasmists," no not even that, but "some possibly sensitive to a certain type of spasm investigation." That is what must be done under the sound rules of newspaper and radio libel and related established practice by a reasonably cautious person. Personally I think this kind of foolishness has gone about far enough. It represents really only our own sensitivity to accusations of unfairness and on a proposition which involves actually spies and foreign sympathizers in our own official depart ments. a Ridiculous THE communist government would have no hesitancy similar to ours. They must con sider us rather stupid. If Stalin found any of our democrats or republicans in his foreign of fice, they would be shot. The slightest suspect he would cause to disappear immediately into the slavery of a labor camp, jail or Siberia. The very existence of such a condition is ridiculous and embarrassing to our diplomatic negotiations. While the- Russians would not tolerate an outsider for a second, we welcomed them in during the Roosevelt administration and we now cover up, deny and avoid calling a com munist what he is after finding him in our own government and labor organizations like CIO cannot get rid of them. Communists should be granted no more equal rights. An act of congress should be passed, as I have advocated before. Whatever rights are" granted to our political parties in Moscow should be granted to Muscovites here and not a single right more. The negotiation of rights should be aimed toward reciprocity. Then with dictatorships we will have the right of negoti ating on an equal plane. The communist party would be put on the same plane a democrat en joys in Moscow. And above all there it no need to call a spade a spasm.

Eye Her Not KING'S SIN King David of old, took to himself the wife of one ol his men and by that David became an adulterer and law-breaker, for Thou shall not commit adultery BIBLE, A thousand years later, came Jesus to say that if you look on a woman to lust after her, you have already committed adul tery with her in your heart. And again, Jesus said Out of the heart proceed unclean thoughts, adultery, etc. God knows your secret thought and to Him you may be just one more adulterer. An adulterer by the lust of your eye. NEW DAY With Christ's death for our many sins, God put us under a new command. It is that we should believe in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ. This new command Is to lay hold on Christ as your own Saviour who stepped in and took over your sins and suffered the pains of hell to clear you. Make Him your own Lord and Saviour and the new life is then in effect. MIRACLE One instant you saw God as Judge, looking at your sins'. The next you saw Him as your heavenly Father, for when you received Christ into your heart, God gave you new birth. Born of God, you are. Born from above, with a new heart and the urge to keep God's holy law. Judgement Day past, sins settled for and you are God's forever. S. W. McChesncy Md., Port-land-l-Ore.
