ed and made available to meet

see now"

possible methods of reorganiza-
tlon = by calling a constitutional
convention or reorganization by

OF the total amount, $31 million

Montana schools must prepare
for a growing enrolment at the
rate of 100 pupils per week, said
Harriet Miller, state superinten-
dent of public instruction. In the
face of mounting enroQlmentS, she
said, there is no prospect for de-
creased school costs. She also
pointed out that the School Foun-
dalton program is inadequate ex-
cept for the very smallest schools
and recommended adjusted in
creaseS in the program to reduce
inequities.
Senator Richard Nixon of Blaine
county in a report on state ex-
penditures for the 1959-61 period
and sources of funds for the pres
emit biennium, noted that state
general funds finance about one
third of the costs of maintaining
state services.
Presenting the needs of Mon
tana's highway program, George
Slime, public information coordi-
nator for the State Highway Com
mission, said the Legislature must
act to alleviate delays in obtain
ing right-Of-way. Many property
owners, he said, take their chan
ceS on a court decision rather than
accept appraiSals of department
appraisers. In many instances
awards made by court appointed
appraisers or by jUries have been
entirely too high.

Speaking ON property taxes

needs is for greater equity il
property taxation.
C. R. Anderson, Helena super
intendent of schools, outlined tn.
major points of a bill to provid,

principle of the plan, Andersen
said, is that of "local determine

On Far East Visit

GETTYSBURG, Pa, May 30
tAP).-Visits to the Philip
pines and Formosa are being
added to the route for Presi-
dent Eisenhower's Far Eastern
tour next month, administra-
ton sources report.
Those visits are expected to
precede others to Japan and
Korea which the White House
announced some time ago for
June 1928. At that time va
rious Asian area countries had
urgently renewed standing in
vitations that Mr.. Eisenhower
visit them.
The two additions were made
possible by Soviet Premier
Khrushchev's withdrawal of an
earlier invitation to Mr.. Eisen-
hover to visit Russia. No fur
ther expansion of the tour is
now planned, however.
Due in Manila June IL
Government sources who
asked not to be named said Mr.
Eisenhower now is expected to
arrive in the Philippines June
IA and go from there to Taipei
the Nationalist capital on the
island of FormoSa.
There was no firm indication
her how long Mr.. Eisenhower
would stay in either place. The
Manila Times, quoting what II
called reliable Foreign Office
sources there, said Mr.. Eisen-
hover would be in the Philip
pines for three or four days.
The indicated additions to
the itinerary tended to confirm
Mr.. Eisenhower's intention to
visit Japan despite collapse OF
his scheduled Russian tour and
agitation in some japanese
quarters against his visit.
Visit Protested
Japanese protesting the rati-
fication of a new United States
Japanese security treaty have
staged demonstrations urging
cancellation of the visit to
Japan, and the left-wing Japan
Teachers Union adopted such
a resolution yesterday.
The Japan Socialist Party
last week asked United States
Ambassador Douglas Mac
Arthur II to cancel Mr.. Eisen-
hower's visit, but Mr.. Mac
Arthur said the request had a
propaganda motive.

devastated southern Chile.

Ernesto Rodriguez, editor of
the Conception newspaper La
Patria, said the weekend trcm-
orS "set the buildings in the
downtown area swaying back
and forth. and many of the
homes that withstood the ear
lier shocks just crumbled."
Fear of being trapped in
falling buildings sent most
residents rushing into the
streets and parks where they
huddled in terror.
Oficials predicted the death
toll in the onslaught of quakes
and tidal waves would reach
5000, with property damage
estimated at nearly 81 billion.
The latest tremors came as
southern Chile began a slow,
agonizing recovery from a
week-long onslaught of quakeS
and tidal waves. Many officials
said the recovery would take
years, perhaps decades.
Relief Supplies Rushed
Worldwide relief agencies
were rushing doctors, nurses
and tons of food, clothing and
medical equipment to Chile for
the victims.
There were fears of epidem-
les from contaminated water
supplies in some areas. Thou
