SABINE RIVER- Logansport 13th 22.4, 14th 22.3 River Forecasts and Warnings: Continued falls on the Sulphur at Naples and Hagensport. Elsewhere only minor, changes. SCHOOLS From Page One on which statistics were developed have dramatically risen." Statistics compiled 50 far, contained in a draft of a statement Dodd plans to make in opening hearings on school violence in the early spring, show sharp increases in 15 categories of crime and violence. The statistics, based on responses from the 110 districts that replied, showed that between 1964 and 1968, homicides rose from 15 to 26, forcible rape from 51 to 81 and robbery from 396 to 1,508. IN OTHER categories, the reports that the number of aggravated assaults in the 110 systems increased from 475 to 680; burglary and larceny from 7,604 to instances of vandalism from 186,184 to weapons offenses from 419 to narcotics violations from 7 3to 854; drunkenness from 370 to assaults on teachers students from 1,601 to other offenses shy from 4,796 to 8,824, and expulsions for incorrigibility from 4,884 to 8,190.

In another category, the report noted what it called "perhaps the most dramatic increase," a rise in crime by no 1964 to 3,894 from in 142 1968. instances THE REPORT continues that "there is every indication that despite his triumphant bravado, the drop is deeply affected his failure in school. In almost every case of vandalism, destruction of school property and attacks on students, former students who were drop-outs were involved." The report also notes that the nation's 36 largest cities reported that school vandalism, including arson, caused damage totaling more than $6.5 million in 1968. The report tentatively suggests that the causes of school violence are the same as those listed as general causes of violence by the National Commission on the Causes and Prevention of Violence. These include: Low income, physical deterioration of housing and surroundings; racial and ethnic concentration; broken homes; low levels of education and vocational skills and high unemployment.

AT THE SAME time the statement suggests that laxity on the part of school officials may be a cause: "It is in the interest of the school system that whatever untoward violence occurs be hushed up. It reflects on the school system itself the fact that theses are treated so gingerly is not lost on the body, which feels considerable encouragement from this failure to report violent incidents." While teachers in some cities reported a reticence to discipline unruly youngsters, there 'also were indications that more schools are turning to nonteaching personnel for discipline. After the incidents in Washington last week, for example, school officials authorized the hiring of 80 "community mostly men, for duty in the schools. Uniformed city police have been assigned to schools on a temporary basis. IN NEW YORK, a $500,000 pilot program that puts 170 unarmed security guards in 29 schools and 19 junior highs has been in operation less than a year.

The board of education is requesting a total of $2.656,901 to "provide additional security for pupils and teachers" and to make it unnecessary to call city police to schools "except in rare instances." In Chicago, the public schools have recently increased the number of parttime security guards in the schools from 390 to 420. The guard program cost $912,000 last year and Edward D. Brady, director of security, said he hoped for more in the new budget. In Philadelphia, the school system spends about $3 million a year to employ 532 nonteaching assistants, 48 full-time security guards and varying numbers of "per diem security officers" hired as needed and numbering up to 170 at any one time. In a recent study on unrest and school disruptions, published by the National School Public Relations Association, it was reported that 59 per cent of the high schools and 56 per cent of the junior highs had experienced some form of protest by January of last year.

Wednesday Bossier Chapel Interment Camden, Ark. MRS. GENE H. LEWIS Plans Incomplete Rose-Neath FUNERAL HOME JOBS From Page One for common, unskilled laborers. These are the ones who wi'l boost area unemployment rates.

It is possible the influx of those laid off at the various defense plants will not be as notice able in the Shreveport area as elsewhere as the result of a new federal program in which the local chamber plans to participate. UNDER A PROGRAM known as JOBS (Job Opportunities the Business Sector), the chamber will act as a cha liaison between employers usually smaller plants and the U.S. Department of Labor to provide on-the-job training for worjers. Thereportedly is geared toward the poor and disadvantaged, but it is likely that many of those involved in the defense plant layoffs will fall into this category. Landrum said the program locally could involve hundreds, and possibly thousands, of unskilled workers.

THROUGH THE JOBS program, employers will pay participating workers the standard wage for their job, but they then will be repaid a portion 0 fthat wage by the federal government for providing the needed on-the-job training. Those participating in the program also will be able to to school during their spare time to upgrade their skills, as the result of a sub contract which the chamber will enter into with some educational agency to provide hte classes. LANDRUM SAID the chamber did not deeide to join in the JOBS program as a result of the layoffs at the area defense plants, but said it apparently is good timing the program is being put into effect a period in which there will a large number of unemployed. The budget cut apparently is responsible for the personnel reduction at Fort Polk near Leesville and England Air Force Base at Alexandria and announced consolidation of the Defense Atomic Support Agency's Bossier Base with Barksdale, effective Feb. 1.

HOWEVER, THE withdrawal of thousands of American troops from Southeast Asia and the decreasing involvement in the Vietnam war reportedly led to the big cutbacks in personnel at the Louisiana Ammunition Plant near Minden, Lone Star, the Red River Army Depot at Texarkana, and the Longhorn Army Ammunition Plant at Karnack, Tex. Among the military bases, England AFB has been the hardest hit, losing 680 personnel and an estimated payroll of $3.25 million per year. Information officers at the Alexandria base said the 823rd Combat Security Police Squadron, which was formed at England AFB and then served six months in Vietnam, was eliminated as a part of the austerity program. The squadron involved 559 military personnel. REDUCED IN SIZE by 93 men and nine aircraft was the 317th Special Operations Squadron, while 41 civilian personnel authorizations--only 28 of the positions were actually filled--were eliminated.

At Fort Polk, a spokesman said 128 civilian jobs are to be lost within next 60 days, but he said the payroll reduction has not been determined. The Bossier consolidation with Barksdale, announced by the Pentagon last week, will eliminate 21 civilian jobs, at an annual loss in salaries of about $150,000. AMONG THE ammunition plants, Lone Star has seen its work force reduced from 11,200 last February to 7,700 now, a drop of 3,500 workers. Plant manager Roy Templeton said he feels the employment will remain about the same for the next few months, but after the new fiscal year begins July 1, he said, "It's anybody's guess as to what will At the Louisiana Army Ammunition Plant, commander Col. Jerry Cochran said 439 workers--including 14 government civilian personnel released today- -have been dismissed November.

This reduced the plant's annual payroll by about $,225,000. GENERAL MANAGER Ray A. McElvogue of the Longhorn plant said 350 persons, receiving some $2.25 million in annual pay, have been laid off since the first of the year. At the Red River, Army Depot, officials workers, drawing about $750,000, have been laid off, and another 319 are due for dismissal before the end of the fiscal year June 80. Attempt From Page One feel that I should be placed on the position of attempting to force members of the committee to do something they feel is not in the committee's best interest and do not want to do," he said.

"It is regrettable that sectionalism has been brought into this the governor said. "So far as my personal record is concerned, it speaks itself in seeing that all the sections of our state are treated fairly and equitably." the governor said. SECTIONALISM Either North. or urban-rural was, however, involved in the fight, and apparently will continue to remain part of the continued fight, whether it continues over the budget committee chairmanship or over the Senate president pro tem's post. And McKeithen is involved in it because he already has agreed with Orleans lawmakers that they should have a greater voice in government.

The fight over the Budget Committee chairmanship came to a quick end at least for this round when Rep. Lantz Womack of Winnsboro pointed out to the Budget Committee that "at this time we have no vacancy" in offices, moving for the committee to vote an "expression of confidence" in Rayburn as chairman. Sen. Sylvan Friedman of Natchez seconded Womack's motion, which passed with no opposition recorded, although Eagan, Sen. Sam Nunez of Chalmette and Rep.

Tony Vesich of New Orleans abstained from the show-of-hands vote. EAGAN AND Vesich assured Rayburn there was "'nothing personal" in their efforts to they do not intend unseat him, but they, added their fight seeking the chairmanship, with Eagan indicating they were waging a sectional fight. Rayburn praised Eagan, but said he "would never agree to rotate the chairmanship" of the budget committee as McKeithen had suggested last year. Rayburn said he would continue to "serve at the pleasure of the membership" of the committee. Sen.

Dudley J. LeBlanc of Abbeville brought the rumored upcoming fight for the Senate president pro tem post into the open, pointing out to Eagan and other Orleans area lawmakers that a move was under way to give them that post. LeBlanc said that should satisfy them. "THAT HAS BEEN promised before," Eagan said amid laughter from committee members, referring to Adcock's defeat of Sen. Michael 0'Keefe of New Orleans, who had McKeithen's support for that post last year.

Rep. Robert Munson of Cheneyville, vice chairman of the Budget Committee who had been mentioned as a possible date, removed from compromise chairman, candithat spot after the vote by stating that he "was not interested in being chairman of this committee" and adding that he had told the governor that a year ago. McKeithen, in his statement, noted the continued sectionalism and a acknowledged that he and his office are involved in the controversy. The practice of thaumaturgy, is the performance of miracles or wonders, specifically magic.

The Louisiana Stadium and Exposition District asked that the appeal be dismissed on grounds there is no substantial federal question involved. Schwegmann, from the New Orleans suburb of Metairie, argued that the court's decision violates federal constitutional guarantees of a right to an effective and meaningful vote and of a protection from governmental caprice. THE SUPREME Court dismissed the appeal "for want of jurisdiction." COURT From Page One federal circuit judges cited recent Supreme Court decisions that in the South, where schools were segregated by law, officials must take positive action to wipe out lingering effects of the past.

This meant Indianola must either redraw its zones so as to cut across the racial housing patterns, swap grades among paired schools or adopt other methods that will integrate schools in all zones, the judges said. In the Supreme Court appeal, city attorneys argued that the judges relied on previous cases involving so-called freedom of choice desegregation plansnot zoning by school neighborhoods. THE ATTORNEYS argued that the earlier decisions held freedom of choice plans must get results if they are to be accepted because they unfairly place the burden of integration on parents. In Negro, the city of Indianola made no defense of a free choice provision of its desegregation plan for pupils who attend schools in the city from an outlying county area. But the attorneys claimed the Supreme Court had never said the constitution required zones to be gerrymandered to bring about racial integration for its own sake, either 1 in the South or elsewhere.

ALSO FACING the Supreme Court this term are a number of other cases involving school segregation in the South. The segregation problems affecting 14 public school districts and 300,000 students in Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana are before the court on appeal on both the school boards and the NAACP's Legal Defense Fund LDF). The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals gave the boards until September, 1970, to bring about pupil desegregation but ordered faculty, transportation and other phases of public school life unified as of 1. THE LDF wants a Feb.

1 deadline for total desegregation. The school boards want everything put off until September and the high court to conduct an emergency examination of the whole picture. The Nixon administration suggested a. September, 1970, deadline for all southern schools and promised to make extraordinary legal efforts to bring state and school districts into, 5th compliance. Circuit has already carried out the high court's 0 ct.

29 desegregation-now mandate for 30 Mississippi school districts. Parents, pupils and school authorities have been coping with the order since schools reopened after the Christmas recess. MISSISSIPPI HAS appealed to the Supreme Court again. The justices have a heavy backlog of other appeals, plus 39 cases on which arguments have been heard. BIAFRA From Page One airstrip, Biafra's last link to the outside world.

The strip came under massive air attacks that reduced its roadbed runway to rubble, according to reliable sources in Lagos. Ojukwu, leader of Biafra in its 32 months of secession from federal Nigeria, fled Sunday for an unknown destination. The informants in Lagos said that after federal ground troops captured Uli, Sovietmade Ilyushin 28 bombers flown by Egyptians rained bombs on the jungle airstrip and MIG17s piloted by white mercenaries strafed Copenhagen, Denmark, said two of its planes were able to land at Uli with 20 tons of food and medicine early today-apparently before the massive air attacks. Military sources said casualties were heavy among Biafrans who had assembled by the thousands in the area of Uli in hopes of out of the enclave, secession retting, stemmed from tribal conflict after Nigeria became independent from Britain in 1960.

PEROT From Page One clothing and other supplies to the North Vietnamese people." Perot asked Pham to accept the supplies for both prisoners and North Vietnamese civilians as a gesture of good will while the prisoners' release is being negotiated. "IF THESE proposals are not acceptable to you," Perot cabled Pham, "surely there is some basis on which you will agree to work directly with the people of the United States, allowing us to exchange items badly needed by the North Vietnamese people for these prisoners." There has been no response to the offer, Perot said.

Asked if he would go as high as $100 million for a prisoner exchange, Perot said, tainly would. I know I could raise that much." He said that would average about $75,000 per man and he said it would be worth it to save the lives of the prisoners. PEROT SAID he became dedicated to the prisoner problem when "I met a boy who had never seen his father." Last month Perot spent more than $600,000 taking two chartered airliners on a odyssey with guests and messages for the prisoners.

The indictment alleged that Voloshen used the "office, telephone, secretarial staff and good will of the Speaker of the House" in approaching various government agencies, including the Bureau of Prisons, U.S.

attorney for the District of Columbia and the Securities and Exchange Commission. The indictment specified activity by Voloshen and Sweig in connection with civil action brought against Parvin-Dohrmann Co. by the SEC. IT CITED a $50,000 payment by Parvin-Dohrmann to Vo- loshen for "services rendered in re SEC." The SEC suit said that when the commission about to suspend trading wast Parvina Dohrmann stock last May 6, Sweig arranged a meeting in an unsuccessful attempt to lift the suspension. The SEC continued the suspension until the company issued detailed information about its transactions.

THE VIOLATIONS alleged by the SEC included failure disclose the $50,000 payment Voloshen and a $500,000 finder's fee paid to a Chicago lawyer, Sidney R. Korshak, in connection with Parvin-Dohrmann's acquisition of the Stardust Hotel in Las Vegas, Nev. The SEC also said the firm issued a misleading press release. Today's indictment also contained three perjury counts against Voloshen, alleging that he lied in denying that he received certain payments and knew two persons he was questioned about. VIETNAM From Page One reported.

But they said many U.S. troops use unauthorized or "home-made" codes which the North Vietnamese easily deciphered. "People are lazy and will not follow established procedures," one source said. "This problem exists all the time. We are putting more emphasis on correcting it." THE LISTENING post, was located in a bunker complex in the Boi Loi woods about 35 miles northwest of Saigon.

The sources said 12 North Vietnamese who were fluent in English were captured and another was killed. The American troops also captured logs showing interception of 1,500 U.S. radio transmissions, including positions for American ambushes and warnings to other allied aircraft of air strikes that were to be made. The sources said that above every entry of a message in an improvised, "home-made" code, the North Vietnamese had pencilled in the location of the planned action. flying to Bangkok, Thailand, Vientaine, Laos, and Copenhagen, Perot was forced to give up Dec.
