Smyrna had l30 students in
grade 8 and Clayton had 38,
the Smyrna district might have
5 classes of 26 students each,
and the one large class of 38
or two classes of l9 each in
the Clayton district. This would
probably mean 7 classes in op-
Grafton. Together there would
be l68 pupils, and if these pu-
pills were all in one building
there could be six classes of
% each. Larger size gives flex-
ibility and usually allows saw
ings. Furthermore, one or two
sections of this grade might be
allowed to choose a special sub
ject as algebra or a foreign
language. Where there are only
40 students, either half or all
must take the subject.
If Clayton decides to remain
as separate district, will it
definitely have additional taxes
due to a building program?
The Clayton school board and
administration agree that the
Clayton district needs a build
ing program of 3-5 classrooms,
and possibly some additional
facilities. 1t is likely that this
construction will not be neces-
sary if consolidation takes
place, for overall coilstru~
will take care of this pupil over
flow. Such construction would
cost Clayton about $l50,000
with the State paying 60To. This
would leave 100000 to be rails
ed by the Clayton School Dis
trict. This debt would cost be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 per
year. This represents a tax in
crease of Is cents on property
or $500 capitation. In addition,
Smyrna would have to build
additional secondary facilities
and part of this cost would be
passed on to Clayton as tuition.
There will still have to be
some construction even if the
districts consolidate?
Eventually junior or senior
high school must be constructed
in the Smyrna-C Clayton area re-
gardless of consolidation. How
ever, under consolidation this
construction will result in a O
more efficient educational facil-
ity than that resulting from
both districts building the rooms
alone, (2) less facilities being
needed due to pooling of re-
sources and, (3) probably a bet
ter bond rating and lower in
terest rate. Furthermore, all
residents in both districts will
be able to vote on the use of
this facility, help to choose its
location, and otherwise work to-

of diversified industries and a
large area of land where poten-
tial for commercial and indus
trial development abounds. Such
Acknowledgements, diversified in
dustries, and a good tax base,
are considered important in
computing a rating. With a
good rating, the combined dis
trict should be able to command
a lower interest on their bonds.
Both communities would be
standing behind any new con-
struction. If Smyrna had to
build a high school alone, it is
quite possible that the interest
rate would be higher. This high
er interest rate would be paid
by both districts; by Smyrna di-
rectly, and Clayton through tut
ton. In fact, there is even the
possibility that the residents OF
Smyrna would be reluctant to
shoulder the entire responsibility
for construction of new secon-
dary facilities which would be
used by both Clayton and Smyr.

Even before any construction
might there be savings?
Yes. AS was pointed out las

join together in purchasing sup

In some cases there is a poten

THE fact that such informa-

gave It's captain a list "of 200
technical questions which
showed a detailed knowledge OF

The captain "of course did
not give them the answers,
the Admiral testified.

II don't think we got any
thing at all back from the Brit
ish, but the British got quite a
lot from us. Maybe that was
intended. I don't really think
from the facts OF the case that

At the shipboard session,
Admiral Rickover ridiculed the
theory that the Nation and
Navy could not afford nuclear-
powered aircraft carriers be-
cause they cost from 30 to so

ventionally powered carriers.

cast dispatch said. Among those
looking on were China's Presi-
dent Liu Shao-chi and N. Zhag-
varal, Mongolian deputy pre-
mier.
Mongolia Is the fourth OF
China's neighbors involved in
a readjustment Of Chinese
frontiers in recent years.
Burma negotiated a peaceful
settlement. Tibet fell before a
Chinese attack. India chose to
fight a Chinese claim to 81 900
square miles Of Himalayan bor-
der territory long under India s
flag. A Peking cease-fire order
halted a Chinese drive across
the mountains this fall.
People Mostly Nomads
High in Central Asia, Mon
golia forms an enclave at the
center of the long Chinese
Russian frontier. Its one mil
lion people are largely nomadic
herdsmen.
Mr.. Tsedenbal early in the
year declared his backing fol
Moscow in its theological dis
pute with Peking, but he has
friendship and mutual aid
treaties with both the giants OF
the Communist sphere.
Mr.. Chou made clear yes
terday that Red China has not
budged from its hard line TO-
ward the West. Speaking at a
banquet honoring Mr.. Tseden-
bal, he said:
For the sake Of our common
great ideal and noble cause, all
the socialist (Communist) }
countries can and must unite
closely on the basis Of Marx
ism-Leninism and of mutual
respect for independence and
equality"
Chinese Position
The Chinese, in their Deep
enlng quarrel with the Soviet
Union, insist that their ap-
proach towards American "im-
perialism" and its allies is
pure Marxist-Leninist doctrine
They also accuse Russia Of in
fringing on the independence
