Ton Public Instruction Contest Will Interest Entire State By ROBERT HOGAN DES M01NBS (IDPA) --Republicans and Deirfocrats alike will follow closely the contest that bar- developed for the GOP nomination for state superintendent of public Instruction. Paul E. Xorris. director of the transportation division of the Iowa department of public instruction, has announced that he will oppose his boss, Jessie M. Parker, for the party nomination.

Xorris, an employe in the department for 11 years, was a superintendent of schools at Thompson, which is located in Winnebago county, the homo county of Miss Parker. Her home is Lake Mills. The state superintendent was first to her position in 193S and has been reelected each term fcince. In February Miss Parker announced her re-election intentions on a platform calling for proper development of state aid, reorganization of schools districts, and reorgan- ization of the department of public Instruction. Moris' platform not unlike that of Miss Parker, except that he tempers his approach on school district reorganization by saying that the "citizens of the state should take the lead In studying the problems and Initiate the dem a for organizational change." It is no secret that there has been much internal strife within the department for the last several months.

School administrators and persons in educational fields have been well aware of this fact. Norris himself said: "The organization of the office staff must be changed so as to be more efficient and to render courteous service to the people of the state; to utilize the personnel to give more effective service to the school officials and teachers of the state." Employes in the department report that Miss Parker recently nsked for signed statement from Norris that he would not enter the race. Norris objected but later Is reported 'to have signed statement that as of a certain date he was not a caandldate. His decision -to announce, he said, Is based upon "request of friends and interested persons and the fact that I am convinced of the need for a change of administrative policy." He has resigned his state position. ATTACKS'PLAN Otha Wearin of Hastings, one of the six Iowa Democrats seeking the nomination for the U.S.

senate, has now made it plain that he is not for the Brannan farm plan lock, stock and barrel. Wearin reported in Des Moines 'that he is against the penalty provisions of the present farm bill, which are included in the Brannan plan. The Hastings farmer and former congressman stressed, however, thai this does not mean a change in his approach on the controversial measure. He said the plan has some major desirable provisions as well as faults. "I intend to work with all of the A A I I farmers and the administration.

1 he said. "In an effort to devcloi a satisfactory farm program tha should be flexible enough, to nice changing conditions and preserve our present level of Income."

Iowa, April 19. 1350 WASHINGTON MJLfi) Casey Jones, the railroad man whose hand on the throttle made him a legend, is getting his picture on a stamp. Late this month in Jackson, the post office will put on sale a 3-cent stamp picturing the late John Luther Jones, better known as "Casey." If the Post Office department right, the event will bring joy to the hearts of railroadmen everywhere. Rep. Tom Murray, also will be pleased.

Murray Is chairman of the House Post Office lommittee. What he likes about he Casey Jones stamp is that the Office--not Congress--picked out. If Murray has his way, Congress has selected its last commemorative stamp. The Post Office has been issu- ing such stamps since 1892. It puts out about 10 or 12 each year.

The commemorative stamps are big money-makers, because stamp collectors buy them up and then don't use them. Years later they may be rare and therefore valuable. Congress, though, came near turning the whole thing into a big headache in 1937. The House and Senate Post Office committees started approving bills introduced by Congressmen for commemorative stamps. 'Usually such bills are pigeon-holed by the committees with the Intention of leaving the special stamp business strictly to the Post Office.

But the 80th Congress started lending to President Truman bills providing special stamps to honor --among other people voulnteer iremen, chicken farmers (this one showed ft chicken and an egg). Gold Star mothers, Moina Michael (the poppy lady), and the Rough Riders of the Spanish-American war. By the time the 81st Congress convened, members were set with more ideas than ever before. They dropped in bills for stamps to commemorate just about everybody and everything. Murray, along with other members of the House and Senate post office committees, decided enough was enough.

Murray urged House members to stop. The House committee, he said, would no more bills. It would pigeonhoU them all. No better protection for your family! No better protection for your engine!
