Dr. Iheo Norby Disagrees Schools
 Will Be in the Red


 1 ANCHORAGE R = Commis- ] sioner of Education Dr. Theo J. Norby said here yesterday he has l to disagree with the prediction that the 29 school districts in Alaska will be in the red nearly ] $7O0 ,0G0 this year.
 Scratching figures on note ] paper, he came up with rough estimate of $218,GO0 in the red. l '.I don't intend to stand on this figure" he said, because we don't have enough information at pre- sent to know The Anchorage Independent School District Board and admin l istration members claimed this ], week they are already cutting back on necessary expenditures. If state aid does not scF:se by January, they predicted the situ-
 ation would be serious. To give relief, Norby said he
 expects to apportion the $257 ,00O
 contingency fund to state school districts about Dec. 1. He de
 clined comment, howeveA on whether he would support the
 resolution reuesting supple
 mental appropriation of $700,0O0
 from the 1862 State Legislature. I The school districts drafted a
 resolution at recent Fairbanks
 meeting that deficiency of $955,-
 644 exists. Included in the figure
 is contingency fund of $257, ,195 1 which the Commissioner has as a
 buffer. Therefore, the actual
 amount school districts claim they
 need is $698, ,469.
 l School districts claimed they
 were in trouble in 1959-6O, Norby
 said, and it turned out that funds
 allocated by the state were suf-
 ficient.
 Off the basis of previous ex-
 perience, Norby expects that
 about 1,6O0 fewer students vii
 enroll throughout the state thar predicted this year. Each sudden costs the state about $500. There } fore, school districts have over estimated their needs by abou
 $460 ,000, he said.
 When asked if he agrees with
 the enrolment prediction of An. 1 chorage-which is claimed to be
 accurate within two per cent l Norby answered, "I can't say. En-
 rollment predictions can be taken
 different ways. I have to look at
 this as state program and
 don't want to get involved with
 local districts. ;
 My philosophy is that there shculd be sufficient funds made available to meet allowable items as outlined by laws and regula- tionS."
 The Anchorage School District said t was shocking that the re- quest for a supplemental appro- priation was tabled by the State Board of Education until Decem- Der. It was stated that estimates are as accurate now as they will be in December.
 Nor5ys answer was that nc==s accurate figures will be available in December. Seventy per cent of the budget depends on teach CTS salaries, he said, which must be analysed more carefully than they have at present. Norby is in Anchorage to at tend the Alaska Education Assn. Convention.

magnetic impulses. The impulses magnetic an iron oxide coated tape, the tape on which the re- cording is made. When a re- corded tape is played back, the magnetic impulses are converted back to electrical impulses, then to sound.
 Tapes are more expensive than records, but they will last indefi- nitely without becoming noisy or worn. Many hi-fi and stereo enthusiasts assemble their own tape recorders with kits such as the TR-1AQ 4-Track Kit made by the Heath Company of Benton Harbor, Michigan. Choosing a low-cost model that runs smooth ly and quietly, they build their own stereo libraries.
 The advantages of the new 4- Track tape reels standardized by the industry are markedly re- duced costs relative to playing time; improved quality; free dom from the necessity of post or pre-performances rewinding when playing complete tapes.

President Says Japan Is Playing Important Role In Cause for Freedom

WASHINGTON lR - President Kennedy today declared Japan is playing "a most important role at climactic time in the life of our two countries and in the life of the cause of freedom"
 Addressing his remarks to Jap anese Prime Minister Hayato Ikeda at a state luncheon, Ken nedy said the influence of the Japanese people in Asia and the Pacific and their friendship with the United States are "basic to the security and prosperity" of the American people.
 In a toast to Emperor Hirohito of Japan, the President welcomed Ikeda as a distinguished spokes- man for the Free World and as the leader of an outstanding na- ton.
 Ikeda, speaking in Japanese, as- sured Kennedy that i've share your determination to preserve world peace as well as your faith in the ultimate triumph of the free way of life"
 Among guests at the luncheon was former President Eisenhower, who had chatted for almost an hour with Kennedy.
 The Japanese Prime Minister arrived about 15 minutes early for the luncheon and immediately went into a short conference with Kennedy and Eisenhower. The subject of their talks was not learned immediately.
 Kennedy and Ikeda, joined by a handful of close advisers, left after the lunch for a tWo-hour cruise in the rain on the Potomac River aboard the Presidential cruiser Honey Fitz."
 Ikeda's wife, dressed in tra- ditional mauve silk kimono anC white obi with floral designs, ac- companied him to the luncheon.

Georgia-P acific Corp.
 Drops Plans to Build Pulp And Paper Plant in Alaska

PORTLAND, Ore. R-Georgia- Pacific Corp. today dropped plans to build a pulp and paper plant in Alaska. The company said it will further expand it's Samoa, Calif., facilities.
 In 1855, the company won a preliminary award of U. s. For est Service timber on Admiralty Island near Juneau. A three-year extension was granted in 1858. Development of the timber was contingent on building a mill there.
 James L. Buckley, president of Georgia-Pacific Alaska Co.,, said it would not be economical for the company to build a mill in Alaska at this time.
 The company will build an in tegrated unit at Samoa similar to it's Toledo, Ore, unit, Buckley said. It will convert redwood and Douglas fir waste into pulp chips "at a very low cost" he added.

Senators Shout Voice
 Approval for Farm Bill

WASHINGTON LR - Without the formality of recorded vote, senators shouted approval of the biggest farm money bill in his tory.
 The measure would provide slightly over $7 billion to carry on the wide variety of agricultu- ral programs in the year which begins July l.
 Passed Tuesday by voice vote, the bill now goes back to the House which had voted some $115 million less, although both yer sions provide nearly $2 billion more than Congress supplied for the current year.
 Both versions are slightly be- low President Kennedy's budget requests.

hour of intense questioning,
and drew praise from Repre-

affairs"

from 81 countries now visit
ing Washington under the

gram, spent most of the
morning touring Capitol Hill.
In answer to rapid-fire
questions they were told by

that the United States will
stand fast on West Berlin
and will not abandon it to the
Reds.
Answers
Answering other questions,
the Senator said: Il approve

disapprove of the way it was
executed.
THE US. should resume

cause the Soviet Union has
not stopped such tests.

is more grandiose than prac-
tical.

Mayor Robert F. Wagner has

for City School Eupt. DR.. John
j. Theobald.
The inquiry also viii go into
DR.. Theobald's purchase OF
bnilding supplies for work he
did himself at his hcme at
Sands Point, N. Y. The super
intendent has said that occa-
sionally he obtained the sup
plies at wholesale prices, ard
that in some cases the firms he
dealt with may have been
doing business wi tn tn e
schools.
Mayor Wagner ordered the
Investigation yesterday, telling
City Investigation Commits
sioner Louis I. Kaplan to look
into the affair and keep him
posted every step of the way.
Defends Project
Shortly afterward, DR.. Theo-
bald met with Mr.. Kaplan, said
he welcomed any investigation
and reiterated his statement
that there was nothing i'm
proper in having East New
York Vocational High School
students build q 15ls-foot run
about for him.
He asked to appear before
a Queens grand jury looking
into school affairs and offered
to submit to a full inquiry"
DR.. Theobald has said
throughout that any citizen can
have a craft built for himself
by the students upon applica-
ton to the Board of Education
provided he agrees to pay
the cost of materials and to
accept the boat, no matter how
it turns out.
Paid for Materials
This is what he did, the
superintendent said, explaining
that he had paid $400 for the
materials and had let the stu
dents build the boat so as to
gain experience "aS part Of the
Institutional program"
DR.. Theobald has also ac-
knowledged he had the craft
built in the name of his broth
er-in-law, saying he felt it
better if "the kids cid not
know they were building a boat
for the school superintendent. )"
A spokesman for the Board
of Education, meanwhile, said
the principal of the Vocational
High School in Brooklyn, Ed
ward N. Wallen, had had a
rowboat and an 18-foot craft
built by his students. Mr.. Wal
len said he, too, had paid for
the materials.

dent of the city operated

ing his present post three years
