The two, Oak Grove Union and Sebastopol Union, along with the Alpine district of the Santa Rosa High district, "touch the periphery of the area and are considered to be oriented towards communities other than Santa Rosa," the feasi bility report says.

Girl Who Only Wanted Mail Loses Her Life Several months ago Press Democrat readers answered a request made in a letter to Let the Public Speak. I It was a request for a card shower for a very sick little girl, Linda Kay White, Forest-vllle, who was confined to bed at the Herbert Moffatt Hospital in San Francisco. 1 Cards, letters and poured in, bringing happiness to Linda as well as her friends and relatives in Forestville.

(UPI A freight train, thundering througn a dense fog that has blanketed California's Central Valley for three days, smashed at 60 m.p.n. into a farm labor bus Wednesday night, killing all 11 men aboard. Visibility at the railroad cross ing was only about 50 feet because of the fog, which has also caused at least 20 other traffic deaths this week.

The fog layer, 300 miles long, 50 miles wide and 1,500 feet deep, also caused the closing of schools and airports, uncounted lesser traffic mishaps and a general breakdown in travel throughout the agriculture-rich valley. The crossing where Wednesday night accident took place was marked only by a cross-bar warn ing sign. Nine of the victims died at the scene. Another died enioute to a hospital in nearby Fresno, and the 11th succumbed shortly after arriving there. "It was a horrible mess.

W.

Qeon Skousen of Salt Lake City warned that in 29 of the 30 wars waged by the United States, the nation "has always been caught unprepared." He blamed this on pacifism. "The pacifist equivocates, ac commodates and capitulates. All he asks 4 is how he can avoid war," he said. During the afternoon session, an attractive young woman senator from British Guinea said that Communism had crept into the government of her country. She was Anne Jardim, 25, a member of the opposition to the government of Premier Cheddi Jagan.

"But instead of following the conventional Communist methods stressing ideology, Jagan used racism to win control," Miss Jar- dim said. She said the Jagan campaign was based on emotion and thus was the most difficult type to fight. Earlier, Dr. Fred Schwarz, Aus tralian physician and head of the school, warned that unless Communism is defeated, the United States" will live under "another Stalin." An audience of about 400 attended the school's day session. Replying to recent criticism of the school's finances, Dr.

Schwarz announced that the Los Angeles school had collected $311,000, and had profited $215,000. The profit, he said, is going into his crusade "to combat Commu nism in the United States and foreign countries."

Deiense Defends Censors WASHINGTON (UPI) -Defense Secretary Robert S.

McNamara and the Senate "muzzling" subcommittee agreed today to meet and discuss the controversial ques tion of identifying specific Penta gon speech reviewers. McNamara offered to do so in a letter he sent to the subcommittee today. It was understood that three members of the Sen ate group will meet with the sec retary this weekend. The dispute, over the identities of the speech reviewers was raised Wednesday when a Defense Department witness declined to name the censor of a specific speech. The issue dominated the subcommittee again for nearly an hour today after McNamara's let ter arrived.

The secretary has instructed that specific censors not be connected with specific speeches. He said in his letter, however, that the Defense Department has not invoked the doctrine of executive privilege and is reluctant to raise it. Sen. Stroni contends that the language removed from.

In today's discussion he restated his view that questioning of in dividual censors on specific texts is the only way to establish wheth er deletions reflect policy or ca Arthur Sylvester, the Defense Department's assistant secretary for public affairs, already was waiting to testify when the issue arose over McNamara's letter. In his prepared testimony, Sylvester defended the speech review poli cies with the statement that propagandists at home and stand ready to use, and viciously distort, unwary statements by speechmakers.
