I do not believe that they should strike, or even that they have the right to strike Currier: They have the same right to negotiate as others do. This should be at the opening of the contract and not in the middle of the school year. Ryan: When I worked in the steel mill I saw the benefit of- negotiating. Yes, the teachers have the right to strike as a last resort, but if their demands are being met reasonably, there is no need. Mrs.

Kiefer: Yes, teachers have the same rights as other citizens. Kemper: I agree that they have the right but that they should not interrupt the school year. Hakes: Yes, as a last resort. For the past six years we have been able to get together; the teachers demands have not been excessive. dont believe it will ever come to a strike in this district.

The final question asked whether teacher organizations should be able to negotiate such things as class size. Hakes: I dont know if we are negotiating over class size, but as long as we are having budget problems, we may have to increase the pupil-teacher ratio. Ryan: Yes, I feel it is a negotiable item. Who knows better than the teacher how many students should be in a class? Currier: I think it is a valid subject for negotiation, but that means give and take. Westbrook: That is a loaded question.

We have a negotiation agreement, but I am opposed to negotiating some of the things they want to negotiate. I will not be a party to negotiating classroom size or curriculum. The school board, administration and teachers need to get together and work those things out together without a negotiating agreement. Each of the candidates was given five minutes to speak on his own behalf. Much of that material will be included in profiles on the candidates to be published Sunday.

Kiefer, Charles Kemper and incumbent Byron Hakes, generally agreed with Westbrook and Currier Mrs. Kiefer said she was mistak enly assocatcd with the recall but that she neither signed the petition nor voted in the election Of the recall effort, she said, I did not feel it was proper Hakes was the most outspoken on the subject. "1 fought it tooth and toenail, and even spent some of my own money on it, which for me was unusualJ Of the leaders of the unsuccessful recall, he said, They didn't even tell the truth." Several of the written questions passed up from the audience concerned the school tax. One asked the candidates opinions on shifting the tax base from the property tax to an income tax. The replies in part: Westbrook: I think part of the burden should be shifted from the property tax, but I dont know that an income tax is the best alternative.

If it is, the tax should not be at a flat rate there should be some level of exemption. Currier: An income tax is unpopular because many see it as an additional tax rather than as a replacement tax. But the money has to be found some other place than property because property cant carry all the cost of education. Ryan: The income tax is one way to go, and certainly we need help as far as the property-owner is concerned. An income tax gives everybody an opportunity to share in the privilege of paying taxes.

Mrs. Kiefer: Everyone who benefits from something should help pay for it. An income tax would raise money from those who dont pay a property tax but who have children to educate. Kemper: Exchanging an income tax for a property tax is sort of like putting it in one pocket and taking it out of the other. We re going to vote on a lottery bill with the income to go to the parks.

A better place for that money would be education. Hakes: I agree that the property owner needs relief, but rent is based on the tax cost also. I dont know the solution, but it has to be taken off the property tax. Hospital Admissions St. Mary Hospital Shannon Iaivein 2 daughter of Mr and Mrs Don Govern 467 23rd, Mrs Kenneth Gardner.

All six candidates for the Dist 51 school board said Wednesday night that they opposed the efforts earlier this spring to recall two board members. The six were on a panel sponsored by the League of Women Voters to answer public questions prior to Tuesday's election at which two six-year terms are to be filled.

The answers on the recall question ranged from a simple disagreement with the use of recall without greater provocation to a challenge to the sincerity and honesty of the recall proponents. Incumbent James Westbrook said he actively opposed the recall because he believed recall was intended for serious dereliction of duty, which he did not believe was the case in Dist. 51. He also disagreed with the accusations and insinuations and questioned the "intestinal fortitude of the recall proponents for not publicly elaborating on their charges. Bruce Currier, Westbrooks opponent in director district said that recall was too drastic a solution." He said that a number of concerned persons did vote for the recall because they were unhappy about the operation of the schools but, I deplored some of the leadership in the movement, if it was a movement.

The four candidates in director district George Ryan, Mrs. Warren Postal Service To Be Restored For Cisco Area CISCO, Utah Steps will be taken by next week to restore mail service to Cisco. The office has been closed' since last Friday because of the illness of the postmaster, Mrs. Q. W.

Walker. Patrons here now have to drive 23 miles to Thompson to pick up their mail. In Denver, Richard Johnston, special assistant to the regional director, said that two alternatives are being explored. First, an effort will be made Monday or Tuesday to find another person in Cisco who can open the office under contract. If such a rural station is impossible, Johnston said that a second possibility is a Star Route.

Compdunding the problem is Interstate 70, bypassing Cisco. In the past the bus has dropped off a pouch, but now neither the bus nor the Denver-Salt Lake truck can serve the town. Four-Day Week Measure Sent To Governor Statement In Montrose Murder Case Is Challenged At Hearing 3 DENVER Women in so-called dangerous jobs can work 10 hours a day and a four-day week under a bill finally approved in a legislative conference committee late Wednesday.

As it was approved by the two Republican members of the committee in each house, the measure allows employment for more than eight' hours a day, as long as the total employment does not exceed 40 hours a week. An amendment in the House, providing for time and one-half pay for minors over 40 hours a week and a similar amendment providing the time and one-half pay any employe were taken off during the conference committee meetings.

Wright testified he had been questioned until 1:30 or 2 a.m. on March 17 when he was sent upstairs to a cell.

He said he felt that medicine he had taken at the jail on the night of the shooting had prevented him from giving a complete statement because of its effects bn his nervous system. Kempf indicated he would listen to the tape recording as well as read the transcription of Wrights statement in ruling on the motion. Wright, 41, is charged with first-degree murder in Cramers death. A brother-in-law to Wright, Cramer died at Montrose Memorial Hospital about an hour after being shot in the chest while at Wrights mobile home at Silver Maple Trailer Court in MONTROSE Arguments on whether a statement given by the defendant outside the presence of his attorney should be suppressed as evidence in the Roy E. Wright murder case were heard Wednesday morning by District Judge George V.

Kempf Kempfs decision was pending. The motion to suppress the statement was made by Wrights attorney, Anthony Lanza of the Grand Junction Public Defenders office who appeared with Wright at the hearing. Dist. Attn. Ralph Miller contested the motion.

Asking for the suppression of Wrights statement made in the early morning hours March 17 following the gunshot death of Walter S. Cramer. Lanza held that it should be invalidated since it was taken after Wrights then-attorney William Knous left the jail. Knous testified that when he left Wright on the night of the killing that he understood there would be no further questioning of Wright until the next morning when a court reporter would be available to take a statement. However, under questioning by Miller, Knous said he did not specifically instruct officers to cease interrogation of Wright.

Knous further testified that he had felt that Weight was too upset" to give a proper statement. Another witness was John A. Brooks, investigator for the D. A.s office, who said he was not aware of Knous intention to wait until the following morning to' take Wrights statement. He said the statement was takenby tape recorder after Knous left the jail.
