"There were 2,231 regular members of the instructional staffs, 300 certified substitute teachers an an average of approximately 1,2 50 non-in structional employes of whom most were under civil service. There were over 3,800 necessary employes to be paid. The budget for the operation of the schools, for new construction, to pay bond maturities and interest and other expenses amounted to approximately 29.000,000, with thousands of accounts for the finance department to keep.

Members of the school board confirmed that the statement issued by Holsberry was made without their knowledge. Holsberry has been attorney for the school board for the past 12 years.

In his written statement, Holsberry said: "The school board and the superintendent in 1966-67 had the responsibility of operating 72 separate schools for grades, one through 12, centers for adult Miss America Starts Reign On Sad Note (CONTINUED FROM FAGE 1A) on television last night." "But we can't be sure, she cannot communicate," the spokesman explained. "It's really sad, she is a beautiful woman who looks like Debbie." Dcbra, who wants to teach piano on the college level and perform, is a junior at Kansas State College. The new Miss America stands S-foot-9, weighs 135 pounds and measures 3fi'i-24-36H. She celebrated her 20lh birthday Wednesday and told the news conference "the greatest gift was being Miss America." Another "great gift" she received was from her 550 townsfolk back home in Moran, Kan. They chipped in $1,300 to send her father, Dwight, a farm machinery salesman, and her sister Barbara, 16, to Atlantic City for pageant week.

Debra said she would encourage her sister to enter the Miss America Pageant because "it is the greatest experience in the world. Whether you win or not it is a once in a lifetime chance." The new queen, attired in a white evening gown and wearing her crown, discussed a variety of topics during the morning conference. Ideal man "He must have understanding, that's most important," and she has found him, she said. Debra declined to give his name but said he is a fellow music major at college. Asked if the boy friend, of four months, would be jealous with her traveling around the country, Debra replied with a smile, "No, that's why I said he has understanding." Miniskirts "When they go out of style you can use them for aprons." She does not wear them but she does like mod colors.

She wears it either upswept, down in a flip or in curls. Favorite music Classical and Vladimer Horowitz. As for Lihcrachc, she described him as "very flashy." Debra said she would like to vidt Vietnam, as did the outgoing Miss America, Jane Anne Jayroe. But a pageant spokesman said it is "not determined" if that is possible with her commitments. Later in.

the evening Debra war scheduled to visit New York City, on what would be the first of 200.000 miles she will travel during her year-long reign. Miss America received a $10,000 scholarship for winning the crown and will earn an estimated $90,600 in personal appearance fees. Runnersup in the contest, in order, were: Miss Mississippi, Joan Stephanie Myers, 20, of Forest. Miss Wisconsin, Barbara Bruk Baugh, 20, of Brookfield. Miss Rhode Island.

It had carried its camera package and a soil testing device to a perfect soft landing. Police Fire Rounds of Gas; Into Big Crowd MILWAUKEE, Wis. (AP)- Riot-equipped police fired round after round of tear gas Sunday night to break up a milling throng of white South Side resi- dents who were threatening to follow the largest civil rights march in city history back to its base in the Inner Core.

The tear gas began to fall when officers, attempting to seize a man exhorting a crowd of about 1,000 at the intersection of 16th and Lincoln, deep in the area where some 160,000 Pol- ish-Americans live, came under a rain of stones and bottles. Four persons were arrested. The crowd began chanting, "Get Groppi," a white Roman Catholic priest who along with Negro comedian Dick Gregory has been leading the marches, now in their 14th consecutive night. The speaker police were after, a gray-haired crew-cut man in an orange checkered shirt, was injured. Officers said he was struck by a brick.

The crowd, which apparently had gathered along the route used by some 2,500 demonstra- tors, mostly Negro, who chanted their way across the long 16th street viaduct earlier in the day, to await the marchers' return. But the marchers had re- turned unscathed by another route to the Inner Core.

Despite the leak, the rockets Car of Accused Slayer Found In Mid-Florida OCALA (AP)-The search for Edward Albert Seibold, accused of killing three Alabama girls in a stabbing and shooting rampage, shifted to central Florida Sunday when a vehicle he rented was discovered in Ocala.

Federal agents and local au-' thorities began combing the city and surrounding areas after all bus rented by Sei- bold in New Orleans was dis covered abandoned near a lumber yard. Seibold has been charged with murder in the Wednesday night slaying of three young girls in Auburn, Ala. Capt. Don Moreland of the Morion County sheriffs department said the rental bus, a Jacket and a pair of gloves had been turned over to FBI agents for Moreland said the bus was discovered when a deputy connected a telctyped description of the Seibold bus Sunday with a two-day old complaint of an abandoned vehicle. Alabama State Police Capt.

C. S. Prier said investigators believe the 21-year-old former Auburn University student drove to Auburn in the bus after renting it in New Orleans. Seibold is the son of Dr. Herman Rudolph Seibold, a research associate at -the Tulane University Delta Primate Center in Covington, La.

He has been charged in the murders of Sarah Elizabeth Sinclair, 18; her nine-year-old sister. Mary Lynn; and Mary Durant, 8, a neighbor spending the night in the house. Oysters Dying At Heavy Rate In East Bay (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A) believes that so many are dying because of too much salt in the water in the bay. He said the salt content of the water changes. Zangas said oysters started dying at a high rate in the same areas in 1965, but said the reason was never discovered.

The same thing happened about a week ago in Mobile Bay, Zangas said. He said that in East Bay and portions of Escambia Bay the oysters were found to be dying at a rate of 50 per cent last Thursday and then jumped to a rate of 75 per cent Friday. There are about 25 people who take oysters and sell them to businesses in Pensacola, Zangas said. The dying oysters are known as cup oysters, he said.

Urine and blood samples will be dropped off the room in plastic containers without stopping the rotation. Navy Hospital Corpsmen will collect the containers from a canvas catcher below the rotating room and send them to Lt.

Alfred R. Fregly, Ph.D., will have Cutchens and Broxton walk rails as part of his postural equilibrium tests before and after the men experience the effects of rotation. Cutchens and Broxton have already agreed to participate in another experiment to be conducted soon at the Naval Aerospace Medical Institute. Autos Stolen; Reds 'Retaliate' MOSCOW (AP) Three cars used by Soviet diplomats in Washington were stolen recent- iy- Shortly thereafter, three cars disappeared from the American Embassy's fleet here. Two of the stolen Soviet cars were found in Washington and returned with a few hours.

In Moscow, two of the missing U.S. vehicles also popped up. Finally the third stolen Soviet car was recovered 10 days after the theft. "It appears to have been retaliation," said one U.S. diplomat.

In addilion to documentary, classical and entertainment programs from local and national studios, college credit courses through PJC will be offered in Botany, History, English, American History and Humanities Literature. Mrs. Oneida Carpenter, director of the project, said some delay is anticipated in broadcasting classroom instruction programs to the county's schools because none are equipped with special antennas needed to receive the WSRE signal.

Four county schools, Ransom, Turner Lee Drty, Ernest Ward and C. A. Weis are purchasing (lie antennas, but other schools have been unable to purchase the equipment because of the tost (estimated at SI, (Mm each) involved. There are 145 federally purchased sets in the county school system, Mrs. Carpenter said.

A UHF converter is needed for all television sets manufactured before 1964, but sets manufactured after that date need only a special attachment for the attenna to be able to tune in on the station. Vaves of Jets Bomb H. Vietnam (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A) aboard were rescued in a daring helicopter pickup. First reports on the raids Sunday came from the East German news agency ADN. The Communist account said American planes penetrated the airspace over Hanoi several times and raided the outskirts of the North Vietnamese capital despite heavy antiaircraft fire.

ADN said air raid sirens in Hanoi sounded four times by 11 a.m. Giant B52 Stratofortresses of the U.S. Strategic Air Command Sunday followed up a Naval bombardment of North Vietnamese artillery positions in the (DMZ) with saturation missions in and near the strip between the two Vietnams. The Marine battle Sunday night involved elements of the 26th regiment near Con Thien, a Leatherneck camp just south of the DMZ. Initial reports on the battle from Marine headquarters at Da Nang were brief and gave few details.

person qualified and I understand he soon resigned for a better job. "The Civil Service Board has recently increased pay scale lor this position and will soon hold an examination for several applicants," he said. "It appears that a fair discussion of the problems of the proper operation of the schools are going to have to include the word "money" and taxes, even though money seems to be a dirty word at this time and taxes are never pleasant." he said. The financial condition of this county's schools can best be pointed out by comparison with the other 67 counties of Florida. This County stands 9th in population but far down the list in all phases of money spent for education by the School Board.

If the board could pay teachers more it could secure more teachers with master degrees and higher and could keep them and would not average 59th from the top in this classification. The board is faced with ever increasing competition by other school systems for better qualified teachers and has been gradually losing and needs help from those able to help in this battle. In both 1961 and 1963 the board recommended that the freeholders vote a county-wide school millage of eight mills and certain large property owners fought this and each time only six mills was voted. This resulted in reduced tax income from local sources but the school attendance and needs continued to increase. Because of too little money in the past and now, the Board has not been able to buy needed new buses and keep the buildings and equipment in proper repair.

The Board is permitted under Section 234.01, Florida Statutes to transport pupils whose homes are more than a reasonable walking distance from the nearest appropriate school. This permits the Board to consider traffic hazzards and other circumstances of the children. The law does not say that it is unlawful to transport them in school buses if they live less than two miles from the school, but does provide that no State funds shall be paid for this transportation. "A local law passed in 1963 provides that the Board may assess and collect charges for transDorting pupils who live less than two miles from their school. However, if the Board should collect money for this transportation.

I am of the opinion that in the event of an accident resulting in injury to or death of such students, the Board might be liable in a damage suit for an amount far in excess of insurance the board can lawfully carry for each one. The University of West Florida and Pensacola Junior College, as well as the remainder of the County School System, are in need of increased appropriations from the State, whether it come from a Special Session of the- Legislature in the near future or at a subsequent Regular Session. The members of the present Lccislature should not be called upon to convene themselves in a Special Session to try to meet educational needs until they can determine that they have enough favorable voles to have a good chance of overriding the Governor's vptoes. The educational needs of the State deserve a Special Session if the Governor's vetoes can be overridden. "I served as a member of the Florida House in the 1939 Session and understand their problems.

During three terms as State Attorney I worked with many Grand Juries and respect the position they have taken in their report of September 8, 1967. I have been the attorney for the school board for over twelve years and believe I understand their problems and I have tried to present some of them fairly and impartially in this statement even though they have not called on me to do so.

Two other hurricanes churned through tropical waters Sunday.

Doria, carrying 80-mile-an-hour winds, darted up the eastern seaboard of the United States rbrut 100 miles out in the Atlantic, and a hurricane watch was in effect for part of the North Carolina coast. Chloe, also with 80-mile-an-hour winds, blew harmlessly far out in the Atlantic and was two days away from the nearest land, Bermuda. Beulah ripped across the tiny offshore island of Isle Saona Sunday morning and skipped across a three-mile channel toward the Dominican Republic's capital citv. "Hurricane Beulah will continue battering the southeastern coastal sections of the Dominican Republic tonight," said forecasters. "The hurricane will become slightly disorganized with a decrease in intensity while moving over the mountainous sections of the Dominican Republic but will still maintain hurricane force winds." Beulah's highest winds were concentrated in a 25-mile radius about the center but gale-force winds fanned out 125 miles in all directions.

mm i I (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A) sion of Dr. Ashton Graybiel, NAMI Director of Research. The experiment is sponsored by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The experiment is one of a series conducted by NAMI scientists studying man's response to a rotating environment. The adaptation to a rotating environment when the subject is in a vertical position has been studied extensively in the past at NAMI.

The present goal is to determine any differences in adaptation to a rota ting environment when the sub jects are placed in a horizontal position. Should it become necessary in space to provide an artificial gravity, the most reasonable method thus far proposed is to generate this artificial gravity through rotation of the space vehicle. A large volume of data has been gathered on man's response to a rotating environment when he is perpendicular to the plane of rotation. It is now necessary to compare and contrast with this volume of data the adaptation of man when he is in the plane of rotation which is the position in which he will operate in a rotating spacecraft. Unlike many subjects who have spent up to 33 days inside the closed rotating environment in an upright position most of the time, Broxton and Cuchens will be in a horizontal position, lying in body frames made to fit the contours of their bodies, after the third day of rotation.

Scientists anticipate that the men will habituate to the rotating environment after three days in an upright position. They will then be in the horizontal mode in body frames (in the plane of rotation) for the remainder of the experiment after the third day. In order that they may have movement in the horizontal mode similar to that of the vertical mode, the men will be supported by air bearings and with these devices they will be able to move around on. the walls much in the way an astronaut might move about the apparent floor of a rotating spacecraft or on the moon. The men may turn in the body frames from their backs to their sides or their stomachs if they wish.

Marcus Reno will rejoin his fallen comrades on the battlefield of the Little Big Horn in Montana next Saturday, 78 years after the massacre known as Custer's Last Stand. Reno was accused and later cleared of charges of cowardice in that legendary fight. But he was later dishonorably discharged from the Army for conduct unbecoming an officer.

This summer acting on a petition by Mai. Reno's Errand- nephew an Army board of review exonerated him and made it possible for him to be buried with honor in Custer National Battlefield, with Custer and more than 200 of the soldiers who died with him. Reno's remains will be removed from an unmarked grave in Washington's Glenwood Cem-. etery and transferred to Mon tana. A Eddie Barker's Column WFCif lr-- ii iiw iiuiv m.
