Water Rights Problem Eyed SACRAMENTO I UP). - South ern California water leaders will be asked to propose a "compro mise" to California's water rights problem next week when a joint legislative committee convenes in Los Angeles, Assemblyman Luth er H. Lincoln said today, Lincoln, chairman of the Joint Interim Committee on Water llights, said his group would ques tion Mayor Norris Poulson of Los Angeles, President Joseph Jensen of the Metropolitan Water District and other Southern Californians during a hearing Nov. 18 and 19. "We know that Southern Cali fornia leaders have been meeting and discussing their stand on the water problem, Lincoln said, "We hope that their latest views on the subject will reflect some compromises which will help the committee reach agreement on a solution to the problem. Lincoln's committee is seeking an answer to the water rights fight which hamstrung the last session of the Legislature.

Y. 0B A Russian delegate indicated to day his government would give serious thought to an Indian com promise plan to get East-West dis armament talks going again. A Soviet delegate dropped this hint when asked by a reporter if he favored the Indian move to al most double the size of the Dis armament Commission. The plan aims at getting the Soviets to abandon their threat to boycott the 12-nation body and Its five nation subcommittee. The Russian official said that, if the Indians bring their plan for mally before the General Assem bly when it takes up the arms question, probably this week, the Soviet delegation would give it a careful hearing. The plan would add some 10 nations to the com mission. The delegate gave the Impres sion his government has no inten tion of standing by its demand that all 82 U. N. members be In cluded in the arms talks a pro posal that already has been de bated in the Assembly's Political Committee. Doth Russia and the Western powers brushed off the Indian plan when It was first circulated last week, but there have been increas ing signs they were coming around to the idea of some com promise. Diplomats feel Russia will agree eventually to the Indian plan, or any other compromise that gives them a face-saving way to back off from their boycott threat and satisfy their demands that the disarmament machinery be ex panded. Informed sources laid the West- ern powers will give heed to the Indian proposal, but only after the ssemoiy passes a 24-nation res olution calling for new subcom mittee talks as soon as possible.

School officials cite the impor tance of placing- more stress on math and science when noting that Russia is now turning out 71.000 engineering and scientific graduates yearly, compared with the 26,000 being graduated in these fields in the United States. Also discussed by board mem bers at the state meeting was the possibility of instituting the merit salary system for teachers. Gra lapp said the school board mem bers are agreed that any such program will require considerable study before being successfully in stituted, and that the public, school officials, school board mem bers and representatives of tne teaching associations will perhaps be asked to take part in the stud ies. During last night's board meet- :jng it was reported by Superin- tendent Gralapp that state law now requires that Oregon school board elections for both the high school and elementary districts be held annually on the first Mon day in May. In the past, the Klamath County elections have been held during the latter weeks of June. The reason, behind the new measure is to establish uni formity and remove any possible confusion involving the elections. In other business at the Mon day evening meeting: 1. Superintendent Gralapp ad vised the boards that an attempt is being made to accomplish the budget studies prior to May and June this year. The necessity for the mid-spring budget hearings is twofold: (1) To conform with the earlier school board election dates, and 12) To provide ample time for discussing additional building fund monies which may be re quired by the school districts dur ing the 1958-59 school year. 2. The members of Board' 2 elected to continue letting the City Itccreation Department sponsor swimming courses and instruction in the high school natatorium as has been done in past years. The swimming programs were recent ly discontinued when the question involving liability to the school was raised. It was generally agreed Monday night that any lia bility which might be associated with the school district as an out growth of the swimming program is covered in the school policies. The school officials are correspond ing with the insurance carriers to determine the exact position of Visitors Feted In Dorris DORRIS The town of Dorris Was host to 38 boys and 10 adults from Kelseyville High School on Friday and Saturday nights.

The latter cate gory would include such as city scnoot gymnasiums. S.

Perkins expressed the belief that such instruction could be accom plished at very little additional cost to the physical education pro grams, that a large number of students in the upper elementary grades would participate, and that such instruction would be highly valuable to the students now and throughout their lives. 4.
