His driver's license has previously been revoked on three occasions. Judge Ralph E. Dennis Jr. told Fisher: "You may not have been to blame for that accident on Madison but I find it difficult to see how you can bring yourself to drive so fast right after that." Arresting officers charged they chased Fisher on 12th from May Ave. to the Parker Moore bridge before getting him stopped.

The judge fined Fisher $64.75 a central depot for the distribution of school supplies to provide more strict inventory control and greater economy of operation. The report also advocated a long range plan concerning the merger of the school systems of Muncie and Center Township, a plan on school buildings, future educational programs, and the financing of all phases of the school program. The Chamber's report also recommended a pupil survey be made in the summer to ascertain the exact number of pupil enrollments for the fall, so that the exact number of teachers could be hired rather than hiring on the basis of an estimate of pupils. Edward Zetterberg, school trustee, objected to the last sugges Teachers Association, and of the Chamber of Commerce. Robert Statham, Chamber tax expert, Don Holmes of the of tax and governmental research and Howard Ward, Chamber chairman' of the school committee were present.

Holmes read a list of recommendations to the Muncie school board. Briefly, the report recommended that since "salaries are the largest single item in your budget, we recommend that salary increases be made at budget time just as they are in other units of local government." The report suggested that "a dual salary schedule, be made for September and January, so thereafter any salary changes would be made at budget time and effective Jan. 1 of the coming year." The report also recommended and revoked his driver's license for a year. He also imposed a suspended ISO-day sentence and warned that if Fisher violated the suspension he will be required to serve the sentence. In other court action, Charles W.

driving without an operator's license. Trial was set Increasing student enrollments due to high birth rates and the annexation of additional ereas to the City of Muncie are two reasons for the increased operational costs for the Muncie School City for 1958, Supt. N. Durward Cory told the board of school trustees at their meeting Thursday night. "Each year it is necessary to add from 20 to 25 teachers to the instructional staff," Cory said.

"Increasing enrollment requires additional furniture, supplementary books, supplies and materials as well as new classrooms The impact of increasing enrollment is reflected, therefore, in substantially every item of the school budget. It will require $5,305,451 in 1958 to operate Muncie city schools and educate more than 14,000 children. Of this amount, the taxpayers will pay $3,303,467.98 in 1958 in taxes, or $3.83 per $100 of assessed property evaluation. Twenty-five cents of the $3.83 is for the cumulative building fund. Breaking down the $5,303,451 needed to run the city schools here's how the money will be spent: $1,056,942 for general administration, overhead, supplies, $3,094,708 primarily for teachers' salaries; $48,000 to provide vocational training for veterans; $117,325 to pay principal, and interest on indebtedness and out-satnding bonds; $129,416 to provide for repairs and construction of school bzilding facilities, and for the cumulative building fund to provide future.

The board unanimously -approved the 1358 budget. Present at the meeting were representatives of the Muncie Parents. Are Jailed For Child Neglect A Muncie couple was jailed on child neglect charges early Friday after police said they got into an argument at a Madison St. restaurant. A 10-year-old.

"We start hiring teachers before school is out in order to get the best qualified. Therefore, we can't wait until the end of summer," Zetterberg explained. Fresh China Purge Shapes HONG KONG w-Red China today appeared to be preparing a purge of "bourgeois rightists" who took advantage of leader Mao Tze-Tung's invitation to criticize the Communist regime. The official People's Dailv is sued an important policy declara tion lhursday on "reactionaries who tried to turn historv back ward." People's Daily said the conflict of these "bourgeois rightists" with the masses in China was "irreconcilable and one of life and death." The so-called rightists are those who took Mao at his word and questioned the Communist party's right to rule China. They included two non Communist cabinet members.

The two, Lo Lung-Chi, minister of timber industry, and Chang Po-Churig, minister of communications, have been denounced as arch -rightists for two months. They made confessions of error, but whether this will save them remains to be seen. People's Daily called the rightists antasonistic. This meant thpv can be considered enemies of the state, removed from their jobs and punished, possibly prison. Mao in his statement inviting criticism said those who had mistaken views were to be reasoned with and not to be treated as ene mies of the state.
