But likely differences of opinion on what con stitutes promise even more tension and temper for the final weeks Teacher Raise One of the biggest issues still gathering steam in the Legislature is the teacher pay raise Despite strong backing, the drive has been beset with stumbling blocks Public school teachers want a $390a-year boost Total cost for the biennium is variously estimated from $45.000.000 to $70.000,000 Sponsors have become increasingly impatient of delays.

Penalty is expulsion or dismissal. Narcotics Bill Passed A peis'sible death penalty for dope peddlers seems almost cpr tain to become law House and Senate have passed the bill which was recommended by Gov. Price Daniel.

Opponents declared the 21 mem ber board would be unwieldy and cost the state more in travel ex pense Segregation Bill Okayed A bill regarded as the cornerstone of a program to maintain school segregation won its second- round House vote.

It would allow local board to assign pupils to schools on basis of "qualifications, aptitudes," etc. An amendment also gives the boards authority to exempt a child from compulsory attendance at an integrated school.
