School Board Selection Methods

Of selecting the board except
for his feeling that primaries
should be inaugurated if the
election system is retained.
And the fourth member of the
new majority faction, Charles
w. Bell, expressed the view
that the board should be ap-
pointed rather than elected,
with the appointments to be
made by the Governor without
regard to party affiliation.
Incumbent members of the
school board, now constituting
the minority, have varying
views. DR.. Clifford Beck favors
the continued nonpartisan elec-
tions but thinks the candidates
should be nominated, prefer
ably by a nominating board
composed of representatives of
leading county civic groups.
Mrs. Ely Maurer also favors
elections, but thinks the laws
should be examined with ref
erence to separating the elec-
ton dates from regular politi-
cal elections. The primary
election question, she added,
should be studied extensively.
The third incumbent, Mrs.
Samuel Kicker, said she had
formed a "sOlid opinion" on
only two factors at this
point. 'It Is still too early to
get away from an elected
board" she said, adding that
she firmly believes any elec-
ton dates should be sep
arated from those of the
general political elections.

primaries in advance of the
elections.
Also opposed to primaries
were representatives of the
county's four branches of the
Montgomery County sentinel., 1963-02-21

jority in a single year.
Supporters of the present
board generally favored the
practice because they gained
control in one full sweep. The
four AAUW branches sug-
gested in their report that a
sudden majority be averted by
dividing elections over a six
year period on a 3-2-2 basis in
the only specific separative
proposal.
Mrs. Keker, despite the fact
that she became a member of
an overridden minority as the
result of the newest election,
said she questioned the sug-
gested division of elections on
a 3-2-2 basis because it would
require each member to com.

dates in the county.
However, while public re-
sponse has been overwhelming
in its support of election of the
school board members on a
nonpartisan basis, the primary
has become a debatable topic.
And many have expressed the
view that the election dates
should be separated from the
general political elections, al
though specific election dates
were not mentioned in the

legislative delegation.
Thus, the issue still remains
highly debatable beyond the

It was reported that Mrs.
Kennedy had notice d the
General was suffering during
his long march on foot to

Bolivia Gives
Miners Edict

LA PAZ, Bolivia, July ~
P).-Bolivia's tin mine I'M
ions today faced a government
ultimatum to relinquish some
of their power, rid themselves
of Communist leadership and
cut out featherbedding by Au-
gust /. The result could be Vi
olence and bloodshed in a ma
tionwide protest strike of TO-
900 miners.
Bankrupt and living on aid
from the United States, the
Bolivian government is re-
ported ready to use troops and
declare a modified form of
martial law If necessary.
Tin is landlocked Bolivia's
major source Of income. Since
the mines were nationalized II
years ago, they have lost
money. 1t costs the govern
ment 50 to produce a pound Of
tin selling for $1.10 to SLIT
on the world market. The
mines are said to be losing 81
million a month.
Talks Were DeadlOcked
The ultimatum was issued
by the state-run Bolivian Min
ing Corp. called Comibol, with
the full backing of President
Victor Pas Estenssoro after ne
gotiations with labor leaders
ended in deadlock.
Union leaders have an
nounced they would hold a
three day emergency meeting
starting Monday in Oruro,
about 1870 miles southeast OF
here, to decide what to do
about the government ultima
tum.
Comibol warned 1t would
close down indefinitely its big
Catavi complex, employing
$500 miners. II its proposal TO
streamline mining operations
were rejected by the union.
Guillermo Bedregal, Comibol
president, said in an interview
1t was necessary to put an
immediate end to what he
called wasteful labor practices
in order to comply with a
three-year, $40 million trS-
angular plan designed TO put
the mines in the black by next
June.
u. s. Poured in Money
Under the plan the United
States, the Interamerican De-
velopment Bank and West
Germany have poured in about
$25 million over the last two
years for new equipment and
other improvements.
The mines we're nationalized
after the leftist National Revo-
lutionary Movement took over
the country in a bloody revo-
luton.
The United States has
pumped $3.50 million into Bo-
livia's economy since 1852 To
keep the country afloat.
