School Board
Accepts New
Elementary Bldg.

Acceptance of Buttons new ele-
mentary school building as of July
2 was approved Tuesday night at a
meeting of the board of education.
The board accepted the report OF
a committee composed of Dr.. B. w.
Travis, Maurice Bell and Harvey
Burkholder, who inspected the build
ing in company with representatives
of the Knowlton Construction Co.,
Belefontaine, general contractors.
The only exceptions in the accept
ance was noted in certain items of
plumbing. These exceptions are to be
satisfied as the deficiencies are cor
rected.
At the same time the board in
structed Supt. A. B. Murray to au-
thorize the He'll Co., Lima, to pro-
ceed with laying a crushed stone
base covering 1920 square yards on
the Fairgrounds at the rear of the
new building. He'll company's pro-
posal was the lowest and most feasi-
bic it was decided.
1t was also decided to have the
contractor blacktop the two rear en-
frances to the building to eliminate
children tracking in mud and dirt.
The board decided in the interest
of economy to completely cover the
grounds with stone and delay black
topping the area for another year or
two. This will be completed as funds
are available.

burned down to Goals by the time you

the fire near the front of the grill

Marshal Tito has become the
lead horse Of the Kremlin's
diplomatic troika, continuing
the drive to organize the Bal
kan. Danubian and Eastern
Mediterranean states into an
anti Western bloc.
Comrade Khrushchev was
kind enough to give us a pre-
view Of what that powerful
bloc's aims will be at the No
vember meeting of the United
Nations General Assembly. At
the Moscow reception Sunday
in honor Of guests attending
the Soviet air show he drank
a toast to the Chinese Peoples
Republic. That was not enough
however. To prove that Dip
lomatic etiquette does not take
precedence over Red diplo-
macy, he chose to blast Chang
Kai-shek, President of the
Chinese Republic on Formosa.
The solidarity or lack of
solidarity of the Western al
lance was displayed to the
guests in the following manner.
Our air chief of staff, Gen.
Nathan Twining, sat solidly in
his chair; the British secretary
for air stood up but did not
drink; the French air general
got to his feet. then half sat
down but drained his glass Of
iced champagne. The others
cheered.
Later. Khrushchev conde-
scended to drink a toast to
President Eisenhower, whom
he described as IAN honest
man." But he hastily added
that he did not regard in the
same light some of the Presi-
dents associates (meaning
probably Secretary Dulles on
whom the Soviet propaganda
has never relented).
The next few weeks will see
a meeting between Yugo-
slavia's Tito. Egypt's Nasser
and India's Nehru. Diplomatic
reports from the Middle East
and the Balkans indicate this
gathering of the three strongly

two years.
@. Isn't it a fact that here
tofore the campaign expendi-
ture lists were not destroyed
but were sent to the Archives
for permanent filing?
"a. Only in one instance to
my knowledge. and that was
just committee reports. I do
not understand that individual
reports Of candidates were so
handled.
%. Before such files were
sent to Archives in other years,
were they not kept at the
Capitol through two full Con-
crosses or for four years in all?
Various persons who work
with official records in the
Capitol have told me that this
has been the practice.
"A. Not to my knowledge.
@. Could you tell us why
you thought it desirable this
time that the files not be for
warded to the Archives for
permanent use of the public?
"A. They had served their
purpose. They had been kept
for two years and three
months. They were taking up
valuable space in the file
clerks Office that should be
used for new files"
AS background to all this,
the same memorandum makes
reference to an article in the
Washington Daily News in
December, 1854, stating that
the Department of Justice had
started to investigate cam
paign spending and that
agents Of the department had
already seized stacks of cam
paign reports, had strewn
them around the department
and had lawyers busy going
through them.
Roberts, Clerk of the House,
made an effort at the time to
find out If the National Ar
chiveS office had sent any re-
ports of the 1913 campaign to
the Department Of Justice but
was told that, while these had
been requested by it. the re-
quest was not granted.
Persons familiar with the
way the records have been
handled in the past say it has
been customary to keep them
available for public inspection
through at least two full terms
of the House, which would
have been in this case through
December, 1856. The mystery
as to what's back of all this
has not yet been revealed but
the right to know commit
tees of the newspaper editors
might possibly look into it.

Governors View of Eisenhower

as the Eisenhower replace
ment, because of a lack of en-
thusiasm for him among some
Republicans.
simultaneously, in view Of
the Presidents illness, there is
a reassessment Of him for Sec
ond place on the ticket if the
President does run again. Such
a reassessment now is going
on, even though most party
leaders seem resigned to an
other Nixon candidacy If the
President runs, and this re-
assessment could in the next
few weeks become a most inn
portant political development.
In the dilemma of uncer-
tainty now faced by their
party. Republican Governors
here got some comfort in the
public acknowledgment by
Democratic Governors in many
key States that the Presidents
popularity continues among
their own people at an amaz-
ingly high level.
The Democratic Governors
confessed how difficult 1t would
be to beat the President,
despite his health. They based
this Judgment on a knowledge
Of the Presidents standing in
their States.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j.,
June 26.-The almost supine
dependence upon President
Eisenhower as the sole hope
Of Republican victory in No
vember, which is so manifest
among national party leaders
in Washington, is echoed
among Republican State Gov
errors. and in about the same
. degree Of anxiety.
= This revelation at the an
nual Governors Conference
here is Of some significance
because the Governors are
close to the people. They are
in a position to appreciate
how much the President rises
above his party. And they
have real knowledge how
much the party is handicapped
by having no understudy who
could step into his place,
should he now decide to step
aside, and carry enough rank
and-file support to win.
Like party leaders in Wash
ington. Republican Governors
Just shut out of their minds
the unpleasant thought that
the President might let them
down-as they would regard
his withdrawal at this late
date-and say over and over
to themselves that he will run
again.
Their attitude is expressed
best, perhaps, by the Governor
OF a very important State
which went heavily for the
