Board Refuses Rehearing On Round Butte Dam Issue ASTORIA, Ore. (AP)-The Ore- eon Water Resources Board unani mously agreed here Wednesday not to reconsider its decision to grant a permit to Portland Gen eral Electric Co. for construction of Round Butte Dam on the De schutcs River. The request for a rehearing came from the Citizens Conscrva tion Committee on the basis of agreement reached between the United States and Canada on pow er development cooperation. The committee, one of several groups opposing Round Butte, said this agreement made the dam unnecessary. The board s legal committee DEDICATED TO AUTHOR LONDON (UPD-Dress designer Charles Creed says in the pre N. California Braces Against More 'Weather1 By United Press International Northern California braced to day for another round of near rec ord cold and possibly some rain While most of the nation s cold spots enjoyed comparatively warm January temperatures, Northern California residents suf fered through their worst cold snap in a decade, The eight day long cold siege combined with San Francisco fog to form 3'4 inches of ice on some power lines Thursday, disrupting mejor electrical circuits in the Bay area. A power company spokesman called It the worst case of frost ing since 1928." in a side effect of the cold siege the city's huge bay bridge shrunk 2V4 feet. Rain fell early today along the Pacific Coast from the Canadian border through Oregon, with the1 heaviest amounts .2 inches at Newport and Brookings, Ore. The showers were expected to shift to the south later today into North ern California. Predawn showers also dampened southern Texas ' and northern Florida, while light snow fell in central Pennsylvania, west ern New York and upper Mich igan, Light snow mixed witn ram was expected today in the northern Rockies, snow flurries were fore cast for Maine and rain for the southeastern two-thirds of Texas The warming trend was expect OSC Scientists To Visit Russia CORVALLIS (AP)-Two Oregon State College scientists have been awarded grants to travel to Rus sia next summer to attend the In ternational Biochemical Congress.

The Federal Power Com mission has granted a permit. Don Lane, board secretary, said the license will be conditional on flow restrictions to protect fish and the company's commitment to build a new park to replace Palis ades State Park, which will be inundated by the reservoir. Borden Beck. Jr., one of the at torneys for the citizen's group, said in Portland today, "The rem edies available to protect the pub lic interest have not yet been ex hausted." The main arguments advanced by the citizen's committee have been the protection of the wilder ness and recreational qualities of the Deschutes, protection of fish, and the lack of need for the dam. The 440-foot high earth-fill dam will be located eight miles north east of Madras on the Deschutes River. The dam will cost $73 mil lion and will have a capacity of 246,000 kilowatts.

The two-volume repdrt with a third volume that summarized 24 committee sponsored legislative measures Is at the printers and is expected to be ready about Jan. 17. The committee recommended a revised - method of state school aid and continuation of the school district reorganization law. There Is great variation in the quality of schools as they function and "the single factor that most influences thf- quality of educa tion offered by a district is the fize of the district," it said. "In virtually all measurable aspects of the school operation ... .the 'too small' districts are handicapped " j ,- It added this docs not mean U large systems are good and all small ones poor. It said the too small district works against odds -that include higher , costs. The report said the two most critical issues facing education in Oregon are the quality of school personnel and the outmoded structure of school organization can do a good job for its handful of children if and when it has a superior teacher. It isn't possible for the high school except at great. . .cost. ... High teachei turnover, the com mittee said, compounds the prob lems of smaller schools. It added that mathematics in the smaller schools generally is limited to three courses and sometimes two. The committee has recom mended that schools be required to give recognized standard achievement tests selected- from a list approved by the state Ed ucation Department. The committee said the school district reorganization law should continue with minor changes An increase in the state's share of basic school fund aid on an annual step up until it reach es near 50 per cent was urged, The proposal is for this to be gin with an increase to about 42 per cent or $62 million next year and increasing near SO per cent or around $95 million in 1965-66, The $62 million would be an in crease of $7.7 million over the 1960-61 appropriation The committee said Oregon property now is carrying 67 per! cent of schooi district costs. This compared lo a property lax rate of 50.1 per cent nationally, 49.7 per cent in California and 28.8 It said within the limits of school size "the quality of the staff is per cent in the state of Wash the most significant determinant ington. of education " The proposed "equalized flat The most influential variable of grants plan" would attempt to all is the community's standard bring a guaranteed foundation of education a variable be- program for every pupil in the yond the reach of legislation and slate with a uniform tax effort state finance It said both elementary and high school quality iso related di rectly to the size of the adminis trative unit.
