ADEN A commission ap pointed to decide what's what with qat has handed down its verdict. What s qat? A local lorm ot pep juice, as stimulating to the Arab as a martini and much cheaper. , Qat also known as kat, khat. kasta, catha and catha edulis is a shrub. It is native to Arabia and the area of Africa from Abys sinia to the Cape of Good Hope wand is extensively cultivated. Its dried leaves and shoots arc used to make tea, or chewed, for their eflect. , The commission said in its re port Thursday that the Aden gov ernment's total ban a year ago on the import and use of qat was too drastic. It interfered with wide spread social habits of long stand ing and caused resentment and discontent in the British colony The commission recommended that the ban be replaced by con trols on imports and the price of qat. It also suggested that exces sive consumption be discouraged by long-term propaganda and "the provision of counter attraction." It didn't say what it thought would bt as attractive. Expert Denies Orb Failures MOSCOW I UP I A top Soviet scientist said today there were no failures in the launching of So viet Sputnik III. The Soviet claim that the sat ellite was launched without mis hap was made by Prof. Evgeny Federov. Asked to comment on reports that the Russians had tried and failed to launch their Sputnik May 1, Federov told United Press "No. there were no failures." He made the denial after a news conference at which he dis closed that Ihe new satellite is not expected to return to earth "All the necessary information will be received by radio trans mitter." he said. Federov also predicted that the newest globe - girdling Sputn would stay in orbit longr than Sputnik II by at. least several months. The second Sputnik - carrying Laika, the world's first space traveler was launched Nov. 3, 1957. It disintegrated April 14.

'i 1 KUHS Board From Proposed Budget By JOHN GUERNSEY Members of Ihe Klamath I'nion High School Budget Board succeed ed in cutting 131.000 from the high school's proposed budget when they adjourned from emergency session late Thursday evening. When considering the reduction. the budget to be resubmitted will be about 130,000 above the $727,892 required for the KUHS operation during the now ending school year. On the basis of the operational amounts and the serial levy of the district, the combined levy of the budget which was defeated would have been approximately 29 mills, or 3.3 mills above the 23.7 miliage for the now ending year. This figure is computed without consid eration of the $95,000 which will be forthcoming to the district in ad ditional state support funds when the budget is approved. On the basis of the,budget which will be resubmitted, the opera tional and serial levy miliage will be about 27.7. or about two mills more than the combined levy of last year. However, if the budget is ap proved, the property mill levy for the coming school year will actual ly be less than it was during the now ending school year. This is made possible by application of the S95.000 which will be forthcoming in additional basic school support funds from the state. The amount is worth about four mills when applied against the overall levy- When applying this amount, and when coupling it with $15,000 ad ditional receipts in prior taxes and the $31,000 budget cut, the overall levy for the coming year will be about 23.1 mills if the budget is approved. This figure compares with the 25.7 combined miliage which was assessed foe the now ending year. When working with the budget Thursday evening, the board members effected the largest sin gle cut when they deleted $10,000 which had been set aside for re pair work at the natatorium. Other items feeling the budget ax were $1,000 to be contributed to the city-county planning Com mission study group; $300 out of the convention fund: $5,000 for the de letion of-one of the three antici pated additional teachers: a $2,812 reduction of the raises which had previously been granted the. jani tors and bus drivers: $1,000 A-om the $4,000 fund which is normally used for balancing the athletic fund at the end of-the year; ap proximately $3,700 from the' cafe teria fund: $1,025 for lighting one room; $500 from the capital outlay fund of the music department; $256 for Pelican Court lighting: $1,600 for drawing desks: $2,850 for Pel ican Court bleachers, and other small miscellaneous items. When reducing the salary raises for the janitors, members of the board pointed out that they did so with regret. However, the mem bers of the elementary beard had previously effected such a reduc tion, and it was felt that the hieh school board would have to effect INJl'REO KenneXh C.

Cuts $37,000 similar slice inasmuch as the janitors and bus drivers work with in both systems. In another Item which was de- baled extensively, the board ruled that the driver training program is a needed part of the school in struction and that it should be left in. The $5,000 reduction of one antic ipated teacher addition was made possible when it was pointed out bv Superintendent Arnold Gralapp cT Principal Charles Carlson that the fall enrollment might be little less than was originally anticipated. Another item subject to debate was whether the school should con tinue to furnish gym clothing for the students taking part in the physical education class. It was the thinking of member George Flitcraft that the school might rent the equipment to the stu dents, or charge a small fee for students registered in physical education. , It was his thinking that the school already provides $4,100 for laundering the gym clothing and towtls, and that the sanitary aspect of the programs could be maintained. It was the thinking of some board members that some students would not be able to pay a $1.50 physical education fee. and that the school should stand the cost inasmuch as two years of physical education is required by the state standards of education.
