County School Board
Studies 1958-59 Budget
By JOHN GUERNSEY
Members of the Klamath Coun
ty School Board are considering
1958-59 budget of $2,008,157. or
approximately $158,000 more than
the amount budgeted for opera
tion during the now ending school
year. The amounts do not include
the $90,000 serial levy revenues
used for school building purposes.
I he bulk of the increase is found
in the teacher salary category
where a total increase amounting
to $120,000 is being considered. Al
though the board will not definitely
accept or reject the plan until
its final . budget meeting next
Thursday, the membership ex
pressed agreement with the pro
posed teacher raises.
Under the plan the less than
three-year teachers would begin
at $3,800 and attain a $4,800 maxi
mum after eight years of experi
ence. They presently begin at $3,-
425 and end at $4,325.
The three-year teachers would
begin at $4,000 and attain a maxi
mum $5,300 annual pay after -10
years experience. They oresently
begin at $3,575 and peak off a!
$4,775.
. The bachelor teachers would be
gin at $4,200 and level off at $6,-
000 on the 13th experience step.
The present low-high span is $3,
800 to $5,400. '
The five-year teachers would be
gin at $4,300 and attain $6,200 at
the 14th experience step. The pres
ent span is from $3,900 to $5,675.
Also, under the proposed plan
the master teachers would begin
at $4,400 and reach a maximum
of $6,400. The present master scale
is from $4,000 to $5,900.

Juvenile Crime
Plan Suggested
I'TICA. N.Y. An Oneida
County grand jury suggests a
novel way lo curtail Juvenile de
linquency: visits to the county jail
by high school pupils.
In a report handed up in Su

"due to the number of youthful

brought before this grand jury,
we respectfully recommend thai
arrangements lie made for high

for $200 Increments during the
first five experience steps in the
bachelor, five-year and master cat
egories, and for $200 increments
during the first two experience
steps for teachers with less than
bachelor credentials.
The salary proposals will affect
approximately 235 county system
school teachers. '
Members of the budget board
arc also considering placing the
17 principals within t h e county
system on a ratio method of de
termining administration pay over
and above teacher salary. If ef
fected, incorporation of the sys
tem would result in principal rais
es averaging aboui $260 annually,
and would increase the combined
principal cost by about $5,000 an
nually. The boards are also studying
raise proposals for bus drivers,
janitors, cooks, maintenance per
sonnel, and other non conlractural
school employes.
Other portions of the proposed
budget reflect slight increases,
with one of the larger hikes being
from $104,000 to $125,000 in the
capital outlay division. Addition
and alteration of buildings and fur
niture costs account for the larger
share of the projected increase,
In discussing the proposed teach
er increases, members of the
board and School Superintendent
Carrol Howe agreed that tne ami
cipated higher teacher cost is the
major factor in the budget in
crease, and that the competition
for school teachers throughout the
country is making sizable increas
es necessary. They pointed out that
if new teachers are to be attracted
to the system, and if present ex
perienced teachers are going to be
retained, they are going to have to
be paid salaries comparable with
those paid in other areas.
The board also heard Superin
tendent Howe point out that the
district is currently In a good fi
nancial condition, having on hand
the,monoy to pay lor all building
alterations and new construction
anticipated during the current fis
cal year and during the upcoming
year.
However, it was pointed out that
additional serial levy funds will
be necessary for the building and
modification needs of the district
during upcoming years. To indi
cate the present expansion trends
within the district, Howe explained
that between last May and Janu
ary 1 of this year the enrollment
within the district increased by
slightly more than 300.
The serial levy for the county
schools has raised $90,000 annually
during the past five years. How
ever, the now ending 1957-58 school
year ustlie final year of the levy
hie. 1
The board anticipates that $190,-
000 annually will be, necessary to
meet the1 district building needs
and alterations during the next
five years. On the basis of present
assessed valuations, t h e amount
could be raised with a 5.5 serial
mill levy.
Expressions from the board ap
peared to favor the serial levy
method of raising funds over the
bond issue method, with it being
probable that a proposal for a five-
year $190,000 serial levy will be
on the .May a school election bal
lot.
The mill assessment' required for
the county school operation dur
ing the now ending school year
was 3:1.8 mills, including the 2.6
mills lor the $90,000 serial levy
If the preliminary budget is ap
proved as proposed, with the $90.
0O0 expiring and not being affixed
during the upcoming year, the 1958-
9 levy would be 35.6 mills, or
an increase of two mills over the
present levy. If the $190,000 serial
levy is introduced and approved,
the upcoming mill levy for the
school operation would be 41.1
mills.
The school district has not been
able to get definite information
concerning how much the district
will receive in slato basic school
support funds during the coming
year. However. Howe has been giv-
ern a "shotgun" estimate from
the state level that the district
may be able lo anticipate some
thing in the way of. $50,000 prop
erly tax relief as a result of spe
cial session Legislature which in
creased the basic school support
fund from $95 to $105 per census
child.
Howe further explained to the
board that the overall amount for
teacher salary increases may be
notably reduced inasmuch as few
er teachers will probably be re
ipiired than was anticipated when
computing the budget needs. He
explained that additional teachers
were anticipated at Keno and oth
er areas, but that present indica
tions are that lesser teacher
number increase will be required
than projected.

Local School
Studies Eyed
City school department heads
and supervisors appeared before
the elementary school board Thurs
day to outline the functions of
t. eir departments and to point out
which portions of the urograms
could be deleted with the least
damage to the school system If It
were found necessary to curtail
operations for cost reasons.
The board took no curtailment
action after hearing the presenta
tions of Andrew Loney Jr., music
department: Joe Peak, physicial
education director; Miss Vivian
Alloway, library service: Forest
Hawley, special education pro
gram, and by principals Jim Scott
and Florence Ollm ann who ex
plained how any changes would
affect the school system.
A delegation of coaches was on
hand and was principally interested
in recent budget board statements
that the after school elementary
athletic programs might not have
the required participation to war
rant continuation of the programs
on Saturdays.
Budget board member Joe Mer
cer explained to the group that he
was neither in favor nor opposed
to the programs, and that he
didn't know whether the participa
tion warranted continuation of the
work.
However, Mercer repeated his
sland that he had not talked with
all the coaches, but that some of
them with whom he had talked
said they felt that scant participa
tion did not justify the programs.
He said the coaches he talked
with had particular reference to
the fall and winter months, when it
is often difficult to get the stu
dent team members for Saturday
competition because they are hunt
ing with their parents.
Coaches, on the other hand,
maintain that no member of their
ranks has Indicated that the pro
grams snouw be discontinued.
Mercer said he is in no way
interested in personalities, and
that his statements are voiced as
a member of the budget board
with an eye to operating the
schools efficiently at the least pos
sible cost.

Leopold is expected to remain in
the Brown apartment until ar
rangements are completed for his
departure for Puerto Rico, where
he is to serve his parole working
as a $10-a-month lab technician
in a small mission hospital in the
mountains near the town 0' Ad-
juntas.
The ride was the fastest Leo
pold had ever taken. A friend who
picked him up at the prison gates
drove the car at speeds reportedly
up to 80 miles an hour in an effort
to shake off pursuing newsmen.
Leopold, who was met by a
group of newsmen, photographers.
and radio and television personnel
when he walked out of the prison
read a prepared statement in
which he pleaded for privacy. He
appealed lor newsmen and "soci
ety at large to agree that the
only piece of news about me is
that 1 have ceased to be news."
Under conditions of his parole, he
said, he was lo grant no inter
views. Stanley Hill, a parole officer
who is handling Leopold's case,
went to the Brown apartment af
ter Leopold s arrival to make
what he termed "a routine
check."
"If he plans to spend any time
in Chicago, we want to know how
he plans to spend that time," Hill
said.
It was not known definitely
when Leopold would leave Chi
cago but Hill indicated plans were
being made to arrange a direct
flight to Puerto Rico.
Leopold and his companion
Richard Loeb were sentenced to
life and 99 years for the 1924
thrill slaying of 14-year-old Bobby
Franks. Loeb was slain in 1936
during a prison fight.
Friends 'Visit'
Jail Inmates
Three Beatty residents wanted
to see some friends in the county
jail about 3 o'clock Thursday morn
ing and they accomplished their
goal after kicking out seven win
dows in one area of the building.
Facing" vagrancy charges, and
confined in the jail where they can
visit with their friends continual
ly, are Harold L. Davis, 31: Jo
Ann Reed, 22, and Dollie Hodges.

After the three had been refused
entrance to the jail Thursday morn
ing by Jailer Louis Bogart, they
apparently became angered and be
gan kicking out the jail windows
facing the street.
"They were probably a little
hot," quipped Sheriff Murray Brit
ton, "but they're now being cooled
off in the blue room."
The trio will appear belore Dis
trict Judge D. E. Van Vactor.
Men Placed

Also receiving a five-year pro
bationary term was Jack S. Giffin
Jr. However, the latter Giffin

In placing Jerry and Richard
Giffin on probation, Judge Foster

Ml
mittee was a proposal by Assem
blyman Thomas M. Erwin (R.
Puente) to slash the budget fig
ures for all state agencies by 2
per cent.
"This would save eight million
dollars and I think it is basically
a sound and reasonable proposal,"
Erwin said.
"The lush boom times are over
and it's time state agencies real
ized they simply will have to quit
spending so much."
As submitted Feb. 3 by Knight,
the state budget for the fiscal
year starting July 1 totaled $1,
984,000,000. He also asked for an,
additional 72 million dollars for
the Feather River Project, which
boosted the grand total to more
than two billions of dollars.
As retooled by the Ways and
Means Committee, the budget
went to the floor stripped of the
FRP funds. That issue will be de
bated next week by the Assembly
and also in Senate Finance Com
mittee. Approximately 17 million dol
lars was trimmed by Ways and
Means from the general fund ex
penditures. The biggest cut voled
by the committee was to, veto a
proposed 3 per cent pay raise for
103,000 6tate employes. That
would have cost 12 millipn dol
lars. '
Another major cut voted by the
committee was to take four mil
lion dollars out of the fairs and
exposition fund and transfer it to
the general fund.
Other developments:
Eel River: The Assembly Ways
and . Means Committee was on rec
ord favoring spending two million
dollars to study the feasibility of
the Eel River in the North Coast
area as a source of water for
Southern California. The study, if
approved by both houses, will in
clude a coastal route to the south
land, bypassing the Delta Area.
Recession: Knight asked the
Legislature to consider enacting a
200 million dollar state building
bond issue which he said would
be "positive action to expand em
ployment in our state.'" Knight
said the bond money should be
spent to expand state colleges,
prisons and mental institutions.
Fluoridation: Ways and Means
Committee first agreed to put into
the budget funds to fluoridate the
water at four state institutions
for children, the changed its
mind and deleted the item after
Dr. Marshall Porter, director of
the Department of Mental Hy
giene, said it was too controver
sial an issue to be handled by a
budget amendment and should be
debated in the 1959 session. Por
ter first testified at the hearing
that he strongly favored fluorida
tion. Tuna Boat: A lower house com
mittee killed a special session pro
posal to cut personal properly
taxes on tuna boat clippers by
70 per cent. The measure was in
troduced by Assemblyman Frank
Luckel (R-San Diego) but ran in
to a stone wall of opposition from
the supervisors and assessors as
sociations and the teachers lobby
who claimed it would reduce the
local and school tax base.
Teachers: By a vote of 12-11,
the Ways and Means Committee
defeated a proposal to give 3,000
academic and administrative em
ployes of the state colleges a 10
per cent pay increase. Assembly
man Bruce F. Allen (R-San Jose)
proposed the budget amendment
which, if adopted, would have
cost $2,795,000.
