FAA Administrator Says
Supersonic Transports will
Be In Use Within 10 Years

WASHINGTON, Rl-E. R. Que
sada, administrator of the Federal
Aviation Agency, said that jet
transports will be flying 1000
miles an hour-three times the
speed of sound = by the end of
this decade.
Quesada told National Press
Club luncheon that the super
sonic jet transport 'is inevitable
there is nothing we can do or
should do to stop it"
Quesada said the FAA is try
ing now to determine what the
governments role should be with
regard to the supersonic trans
ports, to help industry but at the
same time preserve the private
enterprise system.
He added that the FAA also is
trying to forecast the needs that
will develop with supersonic com
mercial flight.
Quesada said the government
also is interested in the develop
ment of a true cargo plane.
Not one airplane in use today
was designed from scratch to
carry freight, "but we are deter
mined that there will be one,"
Quesada said.

The
Report Card
BY CONRAD H. POTTER
Superintendent of Schools

In response to many requests
through the Nugget and our own
office we are reviving the Gre
port Card" column as a means
of keeping OUR school public in
formed about local school affairs.
We would like to point out that
writing the material is not mat
ter of information, but of time.
We hope we can keep it up regu-
larly.
To start out perhaps a look at
our general home work policy
will help to answer the many in
quiries we receive concerning the
amount of homework normally
given at the various grade levels.
Primary Grades. Ia
Generally speaking little or no
homework is assigned although
from time to time pupils might
have projects such as the follow
ing:
Studying spelling words in the
spelling book
Collecting books, objects, or
costumes for a report or assembly
program
Completing a picture or plan
ming an assembly
Reading an interesting story
begun in school to mother and
dad.
intermediate Grades. 4-6
There will often be short as
signments such as the completion
of a composition, arithmetic pa
per, book report, or science re-
port by the fourth, fifth and sixth
grades. A normal assignment
would take about 80 minutes of
time. In the sixth grade there
would be homework on an aver
age of three times week, with
perhaps daily work during the
last months of the sixth grade
except for the weekend.
Junior High. 7-8-9
But the time the Junior High
School is reached an hour and a
half of required homework daily
would seem reasonable assign
ment, particularly with the shift
program this year. Those who
learn more slowly might well
need more than this. Students
who are studying algebra or a
foreign language will usually need
an hour and half to two hours.
Senior High. 10 IL IL
At least one and a half to two
hours of work will be needed on
daily preparation by the time the
Senior High School is reached.
However, college-bound students
will often need to spend far more
than two hours to achieve the
high grade level necessary for col
lege admission.
1t should also be stressed here
that high school students do not
have sufficient time in study halls
to prepare homework assign
ments adequately. Study halls
should be used for reviewing
work before class, doing research
in the library, and beginning the
preparation of homework.
The time for homework as out
lined above is in addition to the
time spent on study during the
school day. For those students
who do not have study space
available at home, arrangements
can be made at school to use the
library outside their regular
school hours. The library is open
from 7:30 am. to 500 pm. each

Austrian capital on bright sunny morning, and
went to the post Office, but there was no word from
George. As walked along Kartnerstrasse bumped
into an old friend from New York with business
connections in Vienna. When told him why was
in the city he warned: "You should be careful,
Vladimir. Several refugees from the East were
kidnapped here in recent months. The Red border is
only 20 miles away. Keep your room locked at
night, don't walk alone in dark streets, and keep
looking over your shoulder all the time"
At last there was news from George "a brief
note saying his arrival delayed till July 3d. But
on the 3Oth received a telegram saying he would
arrive on August g. Around 10 pm., on August 2.
was writing letters in my hotel room when the
phone rang 1t was George. He sounded excited and
wanted me to come to see him Immediately. His
hotel was somewhere in the outlying districts of
Vienna Remembering my American friends advice,
suggested that he come to my hotel instead
A drink TO steady nerves
Half an hour later the door opened and short
man in brown suit, with little mustache and long
hair entered the room. George healthy looking,
with big strong hands. He pulled out pint bottle
of Russian cognac We drank to ourselves, to our
meeting and to our families Then / suggested that
we go to a restaurant for cup of coffee.
George talked rather haphazardly, mostly about
the rosy aspects of Soviet life.~ When | tried to
change the subject, he returned to it again and
again "You have been away from the motherland
too long and things which are dear to all OF us seem
to leave you cold" he complained.
''What things?" asked curiously.

idea You should join group during our bus trip
across Austria There are twenty-four OF us, all
good chaps. And while we're in Vienna you should
move to our hotel. This would help you to acquire
the feeling of the motherland and to get rid OF your
present attitudes"
| said, "Nonsense," and told George fatty that
had no desire to get my present attitudes. But
his rambling talk puzzled me- couldn't believe ne
had come to Vienna just to feed the contents Of
the latest issue of "Pravda."
A rosy view Of Russia
We left the cafe and, as we walked, George kept
up his one-note monologue about the glories OF lite
in Russia. He asked no questions about me ne told
me nothing about the family or old friends that
might have interested me.
Finally interrupted lecture on new construc-
tion talking about construction" broke in. do

Eyes, in our old one. But you won't recognize it.
1t has been thoroughly repaired. Now it has three
full rooms. Mother sleeps in the old entrance hall,
and my daughter Zina sleeps in the kitchen. We
have gas heating now and gas range"
''How about water?"
"Oh, it's right there, in the yard. Don't you
remember"
''Sure And the outhouse?''
"Of course it's there. But it is emptied much
more regularly these day." George added hurriedly
looked at my watch. 1t was after three, and
told George it was time for bed. Next morning when
/ was shaving he came in with package under his
arm presents for Jean and the children. But
when gave him some presents from America for
Mother and his family, he returned to the I'VE have

"We'u meet tomonO.U," George promised
sharply whats on your mind? Why did you
come here?"
George blnked, opened his mouth and closed it
again. He lit cigarette and leaned back in his
chair WELL he said, II don't think we've spent
enough time together to get reacquainted but time
is short You should know that people back in
Moscow are very much interested in you.
''What people?"
,The security - the KCB = the Committee for
State Security he said Importantly. They want
you to come back"
''What for?' asked.
''Oh, you could write book or two" George
said ''They are sure you have excellent contacts in
: America You don't have to write everything you
know, but you could expose great deal"
OF course, thought, could throw him out right
this minute and that would be the end of it. Or
could talk more and try to understand the whole
business better. What would happen if went
back to Russia told him, sis that your KCB
friends would get of me what they need and then

haven't you?'
a slip Of me tongue
Oh, yes, had heard about that, and reminded
George of case in Krasnodar when two men who
had been granted amnesty had subsequently been
executed for collaborating with the Germans during
the war. Those men had been pardoned by the
Soviet Government, hadn't they?" asked.
'"They were beasts" George protested, 'and
deserved to be shot. Your case is quite different"
$50 you think have good chance to be acquit-
ted?''
''An excellent -" George stopped realizing that
he had almost fallen into a trap. II didn't say
you'd even be put on trial Most likely you'd make
good career in Moscow. They need clever people"
stopped the futile nonsense with a curt refusal.
'T hope this won't cause you any trouble after your
return" l said
George smiled with rather fatuous confidence.
''Why should it? was just doing the KCB favor.
I'm not their employee"
~No? Then how did all this come about?"
"Quite simple" George said expansively. Before
answering your letter year ago | went to see
friend of mine in the local KCB Office. He en-
comaged me but urged me to keep file of the
correspondence"
"Whose idea was it for us to meet?" pursued
''Yoms or his?"

Power Rates Rise In Town,
While Coop Holds

HOOD RIVER, Ore.-(CNS)-
Some townfolk here who circulated
last tine to keep Hood River
Electric Cooperative out of town
now wonder whether it was such g
smart idea.
Pacific Power & Light Company
recently won a 1870 rate increase in
Oregon. In it's application, however
the utility said it wanted to leave
rates where they were in five small,
widely-scattered areas.
One of these is the rural area
around here, where PP&L faces coop
competition. There rates will stay
put. In town, rates will jump Is %.
Each of the other four areas
where PP&L is willing to keep its
present rates-Springfield, The
Dalles, Tillamook, and part of Una

cheek-by-jowl with coop, pub

utility.

ager, says townspeople here are now
paying 1920 higher rates than folks
in the country.
Coop officials don't plan to raise
rates. "Our workmen belong to the
same union and make the same wages
as PP&L's. We buy our transformers,
meters, poles, and wire from the
same firms. Sure, costs have gone
up, but increasing sales of power off
set this, and it should do likewise for
any other utility" said Johnson.

KENNEDY'S FIRST TEST


When Lyndon johnson and Sam
Rayburn decided to recess Congress,
many commentators felt they were
merely letting the delegates to the
Los Angeles convention know the
Principal source of Democratic power.
On the surface this looked like
clever strategy to win support for
Johnson, although in fact it was a
subtle form of vote-buying. What the
congressional leaders were saying,
in effect, was that if you want to do
business with the federal government,
you had to see Sam or Lyndon.
However, the bulk of delegates
were already committed. Those few
who were not tied up seemed I'M
impressed with the Johnson-Rayburn
argument. But Jack Kennedy, prob
ably thinking ahead to the day when
he might have to deal with Con-
gress under the domination of the
Texas team, obviously was impressed
with Johnson's show of power.
Kennedy, or his advisers, bought
the Johnson-Rayburn argument.
Now the only question remaining
is whether the Texas team will
make a record that will attract
voters to the Democratic ticket. Or
will Johnson as a running-mate
turn out not to be something less
than a bargain after all?
If the election were held today
there is no doubt that Jack Kennedy
