Buford Ellington. It includes recommendations for spending $500 million for education, $271 million for highways and $270 million for health and welfare programs. In the House, Republicans engaged in what probably was an exercise in futility by voting themselves, control of the state election machinery. And' in so doing, they granted the Ameri can Party control of 47 county election commissions. There is- only a remote chance the measure will gain Senate approval, since Democrats hold a 2112 majority, A more likely prospect is that it will die in committee.

Under the bill sponsored by Rep. William Walker, R-Browas-vlUe, Republicans would control the State Board of Elections with three members, -while- the American Party would have two members and Democrats one. Control of the state board would be based on the most recent presidential election, as would the political makeup at the county leveL This would give the party carrying a county three members, the second party" two and the third party one.

Oakley said new outside doors, new windows and new flooring was needed at the school. Oakley said the floors in the building were in poor condition.

The building formerly used for Clarksville High School and now is used for Greenwood Junior High students. Oakley said the problem would be to decide how much money to spend and where to use the funds in repairing the building. The board approved a resolution allowing Oakley to call -in- a contractor or architect to make suggestions on repairing the building. Because of snow and days missed in school this year, the school calendar will have to be revised, Oakley said. He said a revised calendar would be presented to the board at the next meeting.

"I think it is still premature to attempt to do this now," Oakley said. "We still have this month and March to go and could get some more bad weather." Oakley suggested June 6 as a target date to dismiss school. If no more days are missed, he said schools could be out for the summer by June 2 by holding school during the four days set Army Has (Continued from Page 1) minimum of five is required to try the case.

Capital Hill Employes Get TB Tests By LAWRENCE L. KNUTSON Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) Up to 15,000 Capitol Hill employes are expected to take tuberculosis tests in the wake of seven TB casestwo of Jhem fatal in the past six months. "We don't want to raise any big red flag that this is an epidemic, because it's not," said a U.S.

Public Health Service official after it was recently reported 500 persons given tuberculin skin tests had developed positive reactions. "But it's a serious health problem," he said, "and preventive measures must be taken." Medical authorities said a positive reaction to a skin test is an indicator a person has been in contact with tuberculosis germs. But they said it is not proof positive he has the disease nor that he will ever contract it. Congressional officials report there has been an undue panic because of the seven cases reported so far. And they say House and Senate restaurants, which serve up to 12,000 persons daily, have lost no business because patrons fear inf ectiorb Three of the cases, including both deaths, occurred among dining room and kitchen employes in the Senate restaurant.

Robert Moran, administrative assistant in the Capitol physician's office, said the testing which begins Monday for congressional employes has been expanded to include employes of the U.S. Supreme Court and the Library of Congress. Brig. Gen. Walter Tkach, the White House physician, has said 546 civilian employes in the executive branch, many of whom visit Capitol Hill daily, will soon undergo skin tests and "One of the flabbergasting things about this whole situation is the two deaths' said Robert Alden, information officer for the National Center for Communicable Diseases.

"That's because TB now is definitely considered curable ly the medical profession and most cases respond well to modem treatment." Until the current cases, there has been no requirement that the Capitol's 400 restaurant and cafeteria workers have periodic. X-ray checks. All that will be changed now, says' Kermit Cowan, director of the House restaurant. '-'Everybody who goes on the roles will get skin tests and a verifying X-ray and, perhaps later, blood tests too." The new policy will cover Senate restaurant employes as well. Bess Truman Is 85 Today UJDEPDNDENCE, Mo.

State law requires school to be in session at least part of the day for 175 days annually. In a budget report to the board, Tom McAnulty, business manager, said the school system had spent approximately 52 per cent of this year's budget. McAnulty said it could not be determined how much money the school system would receive from Public Law 847 funds.

These are federal funds and approximately $500,000 was budgeted for this year from these funds. However, since -the President vetoed the Health, Education and Welfare budget approved by Congress last month, no one is sure how much money will be available at this time. McAnulty said other budgeted incomes were coming in as usual from local and state funds. Oakley said construction on the sewage lines at Northwest High School had not begun pending approval by HEW.

In another resolution approved by the board, Oakley will ask the state education commissioner to waive the seven days missed at Montgomery Central High at the beginning of the year. Opening of the new school was delayed seven days after other schools opened last September. If these seven days are not waived, Montgomery Central would be in session for seven days after other schools in the county were closed for the summer. Oakley said he felt sure the commissioner would waive these days. The board also went along with a recommendation from the Montgomery County Medical Society asking that individual jhy sicians keep school" system employes' health records in their offices.

Formerly, the health records had been kept on file at the Board of Education offices on Madison Street. They physicians will now send a statement to the Board of Education concerning each employe's health status each year.
