In general, a budget consists of two parts: estimated receipts and cash balances, and estimated ex penditures. Since the receipts are: readily estimated, and the amount of cash which will be left on hand at the end of the fiscal year can also be rather closely determined it is clear that the bulk of the work assigned to the budsret com mittee will be devoted to studying the eiipendtturo section of the budget. ' . In Oregon, all school budgets are made according to a nlan evolved by the State Department oi Education, and they consist o. the1 two major parts mentioned above. .The expenditure section Is further subdivided into nine sub sections: general control; instruc tion; operation of plant; mainte nance, repairs and replacement; auxiliary agencies; fixed charges; capital outlay; debt service; and emergency. An examination of the budgets published elsewhere in this paper today will show that these sub sections are further subdivided, while the actual operating budget in the administrative offices of the districts consists of some 40 pages of mimeographed material. The budget committee consists of the members of the board ot directors and an equal number of qualified electors and freehold ers" appointed for three year terms, staggered so that approxi mately one third are appointed each year. Their duties ordinarily Degin wnn a visit to the school plants, each visit consisting of an over-all inspection of the buildings and equipment, followed by consid eration of specific needs which have been previously noted and listed. It should be noted at tills point that preliminary work on preparation of the budget of ex penditures Is started by the per sonnel at each individual school several weeks in advance of the visit by the budget committee, and in order to conserve the commit tee's time, proposals up for con- 1 (Continued en page 2) Churchill Given Degree ALBANY.

French Hif Reds With New Attack By LARRY ALLEN HANOI, Indochina itf The French High Command announced Saturday night that troops rally ing from the heart of the dustbowl fortress of Dlen Bien Phu had in flicted "heavy losses" upon the Tletminh and smashed a network of rebel trenches on the eastern aide of the dustbowl. French lmamrymen, spearhead ed by tanks and after three houra of artillery bombardment, attack ed the Communist-led Vletminh and at the point of bayonets drove them from a hill position in the east. The Vletminh then were driven out ot a series of winding trenches in oiooay nand to hand righting. The French High Command an nounced that the losses of the at tacking French troops were "ap preciable." ' Earlier the French announced that the Red-led Vletminh staged a sneak attack on the main air strip at the fortress Friday night and blew up the northern section. They said the rebels did this by placing bamboo poles stuffed with nitroglycerine under the field's steel matting. The damage less than two thirds of a mile from the heart of the fortress was repaired despite a Red artillery barrage. However, planes have been un able to land at Dlen Bien Phu for some time because ot the heavy Vletminh shelling and the French have had to supply the fortress by parachute. '.. Despite the steady hammering of key French positions there was no immediate Indication that a fresh general assault was immi nent. Thousands of the enemy troops also pushed their intricate system of foxholes and trenches closer to the barbed wire barricades and bunkers protecting the fortress, in some places the Vletminh edged to within a few hundred yards of key defense positions.' V A wild onrush aimed at over whelming Dien Bien Phu's defend ers was expected within four or five days. It was believed this third attack would be a do-or-dle effort to win a victory before the April 26 Geneva Conference on Korea and Indochina, The French hit back yesterday with their own heavy artillery fire and relentless plane attacks in an effort to upset the timetable of the Vietmlnh's Communist Com manders. . -. ..
