military base on Guam today in an accelerated airlift endangered by the reported movement of Communist antiaircraft missiles toward Saigon. More than 2,000 Vietnamese refugees and about 100 Americans arrived at the Guam capital of Agana in a 24-hour period ending this morning. Military and civilian transport planes droned in almost hourly. The ratio of Vietnamese to Americans aboard the flights was running at about 20-to-l. Guam Gov.

Ricardo Bordallo predicted as many as 130,000 Vietnamese refugees could be brought to Andersen Air base in the next few weeks. citizens on the tiny Pacific island promptly began hoarding food. Many expressed fears the refugees would bring diseases. The evacuation effort faced a new danger. Pentagon sources said intelligence reports indicated Communist forces were moving surface-to- air missiles to within range of Saigon.

The Soviet-made SAM missiles could close Saigon's Tan Son Nhut Air Base the airlift Communist antiaircraft teams get to within 20 miles of the capital. The airlift was first directed to Clark Air Force Base in the Philippines. But after 4,000 evacuees arrived Tuesday the total number at Clark to 7,000 flights were switched to Guam, a tiny U.S. territory. The official reason for the switch was the overcrowding of facilities at Clark.

Thomas Morgan, chairman of the House International Relations told Congress 866 U.S. officials and 59 of their dependents were still in Saigon In addition, he said, there were 457 American contractors with 167 dependents and 331 other U.S. citizens, including newsmen and missionaries: PENTWATER-A tentative budget, totaling $451,190 was adopted by Pentwater Board of Education at its regular April meeting Monday for the school year 1975-76.

This represents a raise of $43,645 over the $407,545 budget of the current school year. The 1975-76 figure comes from small raises in all departments and reflects the general trend of rising prices in the country today. Most of the anticipated income for next year will come from local property taxes' which, as levied, total $343,750, a raise of $13,500 over the tax assessment of $360,149 for this year. "The raise made in the equalized valuation of the district accounts for this increase," says Supt. William Bluhm, "but it really does not add to our budget.

For every dollar in tax money we receive because of the increased valuation a dollar in state aid is taken away from us." Bluhm further explained that as the result of this loss in state aid, the local school board has to apply to the municipal finance commission for permission to borrow money to finish out this school year. The board Monday night approved an application to the MFC for permission to borrow up to $47,000 which will be liquidated Many Thanks For all the lovely cards, gifts, expressions of good wishes and affection and with Special Thanks to the family of Chris and Lola Jensen for making my 80th Birthday a memorable occasion.
