He was reluctant to give ind
ividual estimates but he said q
careful Chamber of Commerce
survey indicates this outlay oi
funds in early 1868. There is
hope that much of the construc-
tion will be completed for use
during the 1868 season.
1t was also predicted by
Chamber of Commerce officials
that another million dollars will
be spent along beachfronts south
of Rehoboth, particularly in the
Dewey Beach area for rehab-
ilitation and new construction.
Funds for the $4,000 band
stand are being raised priv
ately by committee headed by
Mrs. Mae Hall McCage and
Charles Royce. They report
their task is nearly half COM
pleted. Contributions of mat
erial have also been helpful,
and even the architect's draw
ings and blue prints came as
an anonymous gift.
Mrs. McCage was given the
honor of welding the be-rib-
boned gold-plated shovel at Sat-
urday's ceremonies.
Secretary of State Elisha
Dukes. representing Governor
Ebert N. Carvel congratulated
the people of Rehoboth "for
the warm hearted manner in
which you have tackled the job
of re-establishing your resort
so others may come to enjoy
it," Dukes stood bare-headedi in
IA degree temperature to bring

RehObOth Beach To
Have New Bandstand

Building of new bandstand
on the boardwalk at Rehoboth
Beach is just the beginning of
a construction resurgence
which will involve the expend-
iure of more than 81, ,500,00
In private funds along the At
lantic seacoast.
This was the estimate given
last Saturday afternoon by VIII
liam l.. Williams, president
of the Rohoboth Beach Cham
Der of Commerce during ground
breaking ceremonies for the
new structure.
Williams included Rehoboth's
contemplated $3.50, 900 city hall
with $50 seat auditorium in
his estimate. However, he
pointed out that known facili-
ties which are to be rebuilt,
or repaired and with new con-
struction planned, the nations
summer capital will have bet
ter all-round facilities for Wis
itors than ever before.
A major portion of the con-
struction money will be In
veeted in completing work on
hotels, motels and boardwalks
properties which felt the brunt
of the March 1862 storm. Some
damage was also incurred earl
ier this year.
Williams said that construct
ion is already underway on a
number of projects and others
are on the drawing boards for
buildings along the boardwalk
which had been wiped out last
year.

RR Efforts To
End Min.
Rate Control
On Hauling

Railroad efforts to end min
imum rate controls on hauling
bulk and agricultural products
is the first step in their drive
to remove all minimum rate
regulation in transportation, a
Delaware trucking industry
spokesman charged today.
Harry R. Draper, president
of the Delaware Motor Trans
port Association, warned In a
bulletin to association mem
bers that divesting the Inter-
state Commerce Commission
of controls over minimum rates
would throw the nations trans
portation system back to a con-
dition "with absolutely no one
to stop carriers who would
run Wild"
1t would return freight trans
portation to "a period when any
carrier could make any rate he
wanted to and never have to
justify it, to a period when
there was no ICC to suspend
rates published solely for the
purpose of destroying a COM
petitor," he said.
Draper, who also Is presi-
dent of Draper King g-Cole, Inc,
Milton, said the rails de-reg-
ulation drive arises from their
claim that they are not making
any money but, he added, this
is due largely to the fact that
their total plant is overbuilt
In terms of the tonnage which
they can efficiently haul or ex-
pect to haul under normal cir
cumstances."
He also pointed to the rails
''penchant for cutting rates In
an effort to get business" as
another major factor in the
railroads economic situation.
For the present, Draper not
ed, the rails are content with
''pushing harder than they've
ever pushed anything before"
the Congressional proposals to
end ICC controls over transport
tation of bulk and agricultural
products. But, he reminded the
group, rail representatives tes-
titled at Congressional hearings
on the bills that their ultimate
goal is to wipe out all ICC
power over minimum rates on
freight transportation.
"And it stands to reason they
would feel this way" the truck
ing leader said, ''since these
TWO types of traffic bulk and
agricultural commodities) ac-
count for 20 per cent of the
railroads total traffic volume.
"lf 20 percent comes sailing
out from under minimum rate
controls, who could justify the
remaining 80 per cent staying
under such control7" MIR. Dra-
per queries In stating the rails
position.
The DMTA official advised
members to recognize the drive
toward total de-reguladon as
one of the ''great all-inclusive
challenges" and he urged them
to make sure that "chaos does
not again descend upon the mot
or carrier business"

New Castle Co.
Offers Higher
Teacher Pay

Delaware has the greatest
percentage of the country 17.7
per cent of secondary teach
ers with substandard certifi-
Gates.
This was reported Tuesday
by the Delaware State Educa-
tion Association In disclosing
contents of Ranking of the
States, 1862, National Edu-
cation Association publication.
In addition, Delaware ranks
eighth for elementary teachers
with Substandard certificates
Q0.4 per cent of the totally.
However, SO per cent of Del
aware's secondary school tea
chers have at least a bach
elor's degree, Charles R.
Harris, executive director of
the DSEA, said. He noted that
1t appears many are teaching
In fields other than majors.
Other statistics listed In the
national publication:
With Delaware there exists
a difference of salary among
counties of nearly 81, 200.
The average salary for New
Castle County educators is
$6,o4l, nearly ST, 900 better than
Sussex ($5.667) and Kent $5.-
725).
Harris, said the reason for
the disparity is that most local
districts In New Castle County
supplement the state financial
schedules, while downstate dis
tricts do not.
He also pointed out that Del
aware, with the highest aver
age per capital income In the
nation, ranked 37th in personal
income going to public schools.
Concerning the percentage of
non-public school enrolment
in the state, the publication,
shows Delaware ranking llth
with 1871 down from the 1913
last year.
A copy of the publication is
on file In the DSEA office in
Dover and may be seen by any

AdOra's Dream
Returns For
Further Fame

Adora's Dream, the Stout
hearted PAGER who last year
set Brandywine race-goerS
back on their heels then up on
their toes in TWO diametrical-
ly opposite performances, will
return this season in search
of further fame and fortune.
Brandywine opens its elev-
enth annual meet on April 20
and goes for 80 nights through
June E. 1t re-opens for "a
nights, August 5-3l.
Adora's Dream, owned by
Herschel CULLEN, Sr., of Days
bore, Del. now is being prep
ped for the coming harness
wars and is described as a
strong threat to the crown of
Adios Butler, most celebrated
standardized racer of all time
--also from the Eastern Shore
--who retired in 1861 with an
unmatched l:54.3 record.
Charlie Wingate, trainer of
Adora's Dream, is working the
four-year-old under all sorts
of conditions at the RoXanna
Oel.) training base and says
he's responding with gusto.
Hes one hundred pounds
heavier, strong as an OK, fast
er, and cocky as can be.
HE struts like peacock
for his daily Chores" Wingate
grinned, 'and his manners we're
never BETTER"
That final description of the
son of Knight Dream -Adora was
a cue to recount his Brandy
wine performances last year
when first he disappointed in
$4,000 Invitational by fin
ishing dead last, and then, the
following week, he triumphed
in the $4,000 Battle of the
Brandwine in record time.
To many of the thousands who
watched him in the Invitational.
''bad manners" we're seen as
his Waterloo. He twice refused
to go to the gate from Post
No. /. But he more than made
up for it In the Battle classic,
winning brilliantly by TWO leng-
tbs In a crackajack field of
three-year-olds in 2:00.l, a
track record for sophomores.
In 1862 Adora's Dream, de-
spite mid season ailments
which prevented him from rae
ing for a spell, won $l06,908
to become third leading 3-year-
old pacing money winner. He
had 10 win in 20 starts, and
finished End In the richest har-
ness race of all time, the $l69,
430 Messenger. He's only been
out of the money 5 times in
his racing career.
In 1861, as old
he went the entire season un-
defeated In III starts. Among
his victories was the Tom Hal
stake at Brandywine.
Future plans call for Adora's
Dreams competition In the
Harness Tracks of America
pacing series for 4-year-olds,
which series will have an i'm
portant chapter at Brandywine
in May. He'll also race here In
August in the Free For All
stakes charted.

Liberals Prepare to Take
 Over Canada Government

OTTAWA Rt-The Liberals pre- pared today to take over the gov ernment of Canada after nearly six years as the loyal opposition to the Conservatives.
 Prime Minister J oh Tn Diefen- baker summoned Lester Pearson, Liberal leader, to an afternoon meeting to arrange for the change over.
 It will be another minority gov- ernment, such as Canada has had to struggle along with since Die fenbaker's Conservatives lost their big majority in June 1862. In re- turns from last Mondays elections the Liberals wound up with 130 seats, three short of majority in the 265-member House of Com mons. But Pearson appeared to have enough backing from one of the two minority parties to get his government off the ground.
 Barring hitch in the change over arrangements, a Liberal gov ernment is expected to be sworn into office later in the week as soon as Pearson picks his cabinet
 The new parliament probably will be convened after the North Atlantic Treaty Organization min. isters meeting in Ottawa May p. L. 24 Pearson said
 The NATO meeting will discus. Y the nuclear role of the allianc, ] partners. One issue that helped t, ! bring down Diefenbaker's govern < ment was his refusal to accer
 US. nuclear weapons for missil
 defenses in Canada and Canadia air forces under NATO.

Sub Thresher
 Sounded Like 1t Was Breaking Up

PORTSMOUTH, NH. R - The navigator of the submarine rescue ship Skylark said Saturday the last sound to come from the los, submarine Thresher twas the sound of a ship breaking up - like a compartment collapsing." One minute later Watson con- tinued, Skylark requested the course of the Thresher and its dis tance and direction from Skylark.
 '"There was no reply" Watson testified.
 Watson said the commanding of ficer of his ship then took over the microphone and beginning at 9:15 am. called out to Thresher "are you in control?"
 There was no reply, he said.
 He said the skipper repeated the question at least four times.
 Two minutes later Watson said there was a garbled message from Thresher, but only the last two words were distinct 6. set depth
 Watson estimated two or three words preceded the clearly heard ending.
 What then did you hear he was asked
 we heard sounds that are familiar to me from having seen ships blown up by torpedoes in World War II - the sound of a ship breaking up - like com partment collapsing," he said.
 He went on to describe the sound as "a muted, dull thud."
 It. JGD James Watson testi- fled before a naval court of in- quiry that the sounds came from the submerged Thresher a few seconds after 9:17 am. Wednesday
 He said that five minutes earlier Thresher radioed to Skylark "have positive up angle, attempting tc blow up."
 Watson explained "to blow up in submarine language means tht crew was using air to blow ou ballast to bring the boat to the surface.
 At 9:14 am. Watson said Sky lark messaged by underwater tele- phone that there were no vessels in the immediate area and it was clear for Thresher to surface.

Legislature Calls It Quits After
 Agreeing to Budget of $l5l,607, ,S3O

The 20-20 split of Republicans and Democrats in the House mag nlfled every political difference and added days to the session.
 The House belabored organiza- tion of the lower chamber for seven days before the Speakership went to Rep. Bruce Kendall and control went to the Republicans, on a secret ballot.
 Democrats had tight control of the Senate.
 With four years of transitional work behind it, the legislature did not find too many major prob lems facing it when it convened on Jan. 28.
 Insofar as the effect on the states people is concerned, the two most far-reaching bills ap- proved dealt with the mandatory incorporation into boroughs of eight major population areas and the required local tax effort under the Public School Foundation Act of 1862.
 The Foundation Act becomes ef- fective with the 1964-1965 school year.
 The legislature also cleared leg islation calling for teachers pay increases amounting to $1.3 mil lion and for the creation of a Human Rights Commission to en- force the states anti-discrimina- tion laws.
