Top District Officials
Reported in HuddIe
Over Indignation Plan

Top District school officials
conferred today with Chairman
Mcmillan of the House District
Committee and Representative
Alternately, Democrat. of Missis-
sippi, chairman of the District
subcommittee on health, educa-
ton and recreation.
The hour and three-quarter
conference repeatedly dealt with
administrative reorganization of
the school system in connection
with race indignation. None of
the participants would discuss
the meeting in detail, however.
Corning, Sharpe Called.
School Supt. Hobart M. Corn
ing and C. Melvin Sharpe, pres
ident of the Board Of Education,
were summoned to the session
by Mr.. Alternately. Chairman
Mcmillan told a reporter he at
tended at Mr.. Abernathy's re-
quest.
The school board, in a split
vote, last week approved plans
of DR.. Corning to reassign a
number of his top aides on a
non-racial basis. The board at
the same meeting voted down a
proposal by two members to
delay the reorganization until
either Congress had acted on it
or the Districts legal chief,
Corporation Counsel Vernon E.
West, had ruled on the plans
legality.
Mr.. West, the day before last
weeks board action, submitted
a statement to the Commits
sioners reaffirming the Districts
legal position that the Supreme
Courts anti-segregation ruling
of last year cleared the way for
all necessary reorganization
steps.
Mr.. West, while reiterating
this view, urged that the Dis
trict seek a change of three
provisions of the present law
regarding the school administra-
ton. He said this was desirable
"in order to have a clear legis-
lative record as to how the
administrative problem created
by the invalidation of laws pro-
viding for a segregated system is
to be handled"
Unfamiliar With Plan
The corporation counsel in his
ruling said he was not familiar
with DR.. Corning's specific re-
organization plans.
Asked whether Mr.. Vests
statement was discussed at to-
days meeting. Mr.. Alternately
said:
mot particularly"
He said the meeting was not
limited to any one subject. He
said he frequently holds such
meetings.
Asked whether he expected any
action by either the school board
or Congress to result from the
session, Mr.. Alternately said he
did not know of any.
The Mississippian also refused
to say whether he considered
the action of the school board
in going ahead with indignation
without specific legislation legal.
He suggested that this question
should be referred to Mr.. West.
Mr.. Sharpe at last week S
school board meeting said he felt
Congress should take some ac-
ton on the reorganization be-
fore it proceeds. Mr.. Sharpe told
a reporter yesterday that he did
not prompt today's session on
Capitol Hill, however.

Sousa Junior High School put
out the welcome mat for parents
yesterday.
The occasion was the schools
fifth anniversary. The faculty
and PTA invited parents to help
celebrate by paying a visit to
see their children at work. Sew
eral scores of parents turned out.
Sousa, at Thirty-seventh street
and Ely place Sc. opened its
doors on March 6, 1850. The
school was named for John
Philip Sousa, the famed march
composer.
Sousa's 800 students stuck
mostly to normal routine for the
anniversary party. Parents--in
many cases for the first time
saw them in class recitations,
gym, on the playground and re-
taxing between times in two
large recreation rooms.
Take 1t in Stride.
Mothers didn't bat an eye at
a large number of bluejean-clad
young gentlemen. Teen-age style
dancing-the jitterbug sort
didn't seem to startle them,
either.
In the cafeteria. the parents
lined up right along with the
younger patrons for meat loaf,
mashed potatoes, carrots and
peas, chocolate cake and milk.

The Tax Dodgers

AS / have previously pointed out in
| these communications, only partial
| facts and figures cam sometimes be
more misleading than all the facts.
If Mr. Byxbe had taken a little more
time and looked little closer at his
county records, he would have dis
covered a few more facts and figures
that seem to have escaped him. Some
of them are:
(1). The 1854 State, County, and school
tax levy in his own Roosevelt County
was 101 mills. On $1,000 assessed valu-
alton of property, taxes were paid as
follows:
(2) Right to enter land for the pur-
pose of prospecting for oil, gas, or
others materials, $4,000.
CD. On property of private utilities
such as GIN Railway, Mountain States
Tel. & Tel. Mont.Dak. Utilities Co.,
Montana Power Co, $4,000
(4) Cattle, poultry all other live
stock, stocks of merchandise, $33.3S.
(5). Real estate and improvements,
farm and city, 5000.
co.. Cook stoves, tea spoons, sewing
machines, clothing, 5000.
"a. REA Coop power lines and ac
cessories, $7.07.
(S) Patrons of REA pay an average
monthly tax on their power bill of 33c.
On the same amount of power, patrons
of private utilities pay taxes of $3.42
1t is not false statements that burn
Mr.. Byxbe up. 1t is the red flush of
shame creeping up behind his ears on
discovering the ridiculously unfair tax
exemption REA Co-ops enjoy, plus the
400 interest subsidy cost to the tax
payers on their REA loan. AS Tax
the REA Co-ops are entitled
to first prize as my figures quoted |
above show.
The old alibi that REA is operated |
for service and not for profit has worn

This Partnership Is AS
Logical AS Power Ones

Dear Sir:
After due consideration, l have come
to the conclusion that there is nothing
wrong with Douglas McKay's power
partnership policy. That is, nothing
wrong. unless it cannot be extended
to other fields of endeavor
Now | have in mind an excellent
plan promulgated along the same lines,
except that the government and / are
going in together on a sawmill
The government will build the mill,
supply the logs, pay for the cost of
milling, and other incidentals. All I
want is the green chain which / will
build and maintain. / will hire the
labor to pull the lumber from the green
chain into neat little piles; these little
piles of lumber will of course, be mine.
/ will also agree to build and main
tain roads into the hills on which to
haul the loot-whups, mean lumber
away from the mill. All this expense to
me is to be financed by long time loans
from the government at a low rate of
interest.
The big things about it is that this
partnership is to last for only SO years,
after which time the whole operation,
green chain and all will revert back
to the government. All, that is, except
the roads, which will still be mine. The
government can either buy them at my
price or pay toll whichever they wish
All I get out of the deal is SO years
free supply of lumber. l
can't see anything ridiculous about
hat, since the government will still
,wn the mill.

Neuberger said that his office had
received more mail approving the
reduction in the Social Security age
for women than on any other pro-
posal.
He said figures indicated that the
present requirement for wife to be
IS before receiving benefits results
in situation in which "only about
20 per cent of married men who re-
tire at IS have wives immediately
eligible for wives benefits"
"This works a hardship on many
families because the insurance bene-

MY "Two-Bit's Worth"

There is NOT a man. woman or child

is not a man, woman or child anywhere

of production are not adequate to pro-

To rational human being the an

parts of Russia and even portions of
the United States, when in other por-
lions of the world we found at the
