Following is the complete text of the detailed statement the su perintendent made to the Herald and News. j "There Is no magic inherent in any particular kind of school organization which in itself will ments there is at least a chance for a good education especially when the citizens are strong and the community doesn't suffer seri ous deterioration during those times in which it might be tempo rarily weakened. "Each school district, in fact. has about the quantity and qua!- Jocofey On Bridge WEST A Q 10 3 VQJ975 3 K8 A8 guarantee good education. Coody of educaUon which a majority ui lis pultuns wain unu uic mil ing to support. "The 1937 legislature, with the support of those groups in the area which were interested in quality education, passed laws encourag ing school districts to organize themselves into units offering a coordinated program in grades one through 12 under one school board and one administra tion. This legislation established the principle that this kind of school organization was considered by the profession and the people's representatives to be a first step in creating an organization most conducive to the creation of good school programs. "This first step has not yet been taken in Klamath County. It is true that there are fewer dis tricts in this county than in most counties not yet complete reorgan ized. The problem here is not in me nurnDer ot districts, but in the arrangement of the districts with their overlapping jurisdic tions. This is especially critical since such overlapping affects the coordination of programs and in struction. Approximately one-third of the pupils in Klamath County are in the overlap area. The principle of county equaliz ation of school support by proper ty taxes was established when the legislture passed the Rural School law. This law provides essential ly that the various levies of all the districts in a county are to- tacd and one-half of the total is levied county-wide with the other half of each separate district lev ied within the district. Counties in which there are countv units i such as Klamath County i are ex empt. Equalization within the county is provided in Crook, Lin coln and Hood River counties by virtue of all the county being in one district.

South took a deep breath and bid five diamonds. He wasn't vul nerable and held a hundred hon ors so he didn't expect that any great harm would come to him and he was sure that he was sac rificing against a sure heart game. West doubled and led the queen of hearts. South looked at dum my and saw that he had been wrong on all counts. West almost surely would not have made four hearts and South had some sort ol play for six diamonds. Some players would have said. 'Maybe we didn't bid enough," but South was more inclined to think than to talk and South saw that five diamonds was ini jeopardy. West had made a vulnerable ovcrcall on a queen high suit and probably would hold all missing high cards. In that case there. was no reason to do any finess-j ing at all. U instead, soutn played me Kinging. pite of clubs. West took the ace andi dance (0 follow led a second heart for South to ruff. Now South played his ace of diamonds, led a spade to dummy's ace. ruffed dummy's last heart, played a club back to dummy's jack and led dummy's last club to his own queen. West was stone dead. If he ruffed he would have to. lead a spade or a heart. If he did not ruff South would ruff his last club and throw West in with the king of diamonds to put him in the same losing position.

"County equalization w as creat ed so that all the children and all the taxpayers in a county can benefit at least partially from the school support provided by stands of timber and by public utilities rather-than just those who might live in or near these assets. Any type of organization which would encompass all the children the more thickly populated parts of the county would pro vide flexibility in use of present laciiuies and provision for ad ditions. Such flexibility should provide savings in future building ueveiopment. "Several sets of figures showin: the millage shifts in the different parts of the county are beinc Dre- scnted. All but one set. those used by the Citizens Committee for one county district plan, have come into Ueing in the last three weeks The original figures arc the ones which have been presented, stud ied and unchallenged by the citi zens committee and joint school boards before petitions for the one county district were filed. "The three educational objec tions which have the most validity have to do, with administrative prowems. the fear of disunity in the new district and the cnmnlainl that the rural schools would ni iuuiiiiK inim me new organization. "The county unit is now a suc cessfully administered school unit, which has been able to cope with its problems for many vears. Anv new problems inherent in the ad dition of city districts one and two are hard to locale. There will undoubtedly be increases in the severity of some of the regular problems especially at the high school level due to to the increase m me range ot size. "Tlie fear of disunitv within Hit. new district is a real one. but this does not need ovki n i part of the American heritage that we can support our conviction. vigerously as we wish within the bounds of reason. It is also a part of the same heritage that once tlie matter is settled in an eW. tion the people are rejoined to work for common goals. It should be hoped that once the election is over emotionalism will dissolve and reason prevail. The children would be the losers if this did not come to pass. Limitations in nrosrams nnd offerings in the small rural schools would still exist because these lim- itations arc due to small enroll ments and geographic isolation. tnese factors would prevail re gardless of the organization of the districts. "The citizens of Klamath Coun ty should provide a substantial vote on this matter, on June 10, so that the wishes of the elec torate will be clear. Once the elec tion is over, all concerned should again work to provide the best education possible, regardless of district organization, for the chil dren of Klamath Countv." WASHINGTON IUPI - The United States will try to build a supersonic airliner capable of fly ing from New York to Paris in less than three hours. The announcement by President Kennedy Wednesday was based on recommendations from a hign- level Cabinet committee headed by Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson.

The basic requirements of his transport would be a cruising speed of 2,000 miles an hour and a transcontinental ranqe with 130 passengers. President Kennedy announced this week the U.S. will try to build a supersonic airliner capable of flying from New York to Paris in less than three hours. U.S. Sees Supersonic Airiiner Need Miller Plans To Quit Post NEW YORK (UPH Rep. William Miller, R-N.Y., disclosed Thursday night that he will step down from his post as Republican national chairman when his cur rent term expires after the GOP national convention next summer Miller also said that he would not seek reelection to Congress from New York's 40th Congres sional District when the present term his seventh in Congress ends next all.

Concorde is aimed at producing an airliner with a speed of about 1.450 miles per hour, the proto type to be flying by 1966 and in actual service across the Atlantic by l8. One U.S. airline. Pan American World Airways, disclosed Tuesday it had ordered six Concordes a move which undoubtedly pushed Kennedy toward his decision - that was not supposed' to be made until mid-Juno. Details Unknown Still unanswered were some key questions about the American en tryits speed, passenger capac ity, range, power plants and con struction details. The President said merely that it would be su perior to any foreign airliner, in dicating that it would be faster than the Concorde. Kennedy added that U.S. air frame and engine manufacturers would engage in an early design competition, with tlie federal gov ernment and the airlines deciding which produced the safest, most efficient and practical supersonic transport. Development costs esti mated at about jl billion will be shared by private risk capital and federal fluids. Will Take Longer Reliable sources said Johnson's group actually recommended an airliner capable of flying 2.000 miles per hour at 60.000 feet. Such a plane, however, would re quire new metals and engines. The necessary development work could never match the 1966 dead line for a Concorde prototype. which will be built of convention al aluminum with already avail able engines. The President emphasized that if the design competition reveals the impracticably of a supersonic airliner, the project will be post wned or scrapped.
