will have to be added to the staff next year to take care of increased enrollment and the school also probably will lose more money as a result of the railroad tax objection suits, it was reported. As a result, the school will feel the pinch financially, the board was told. Residents of United Township High School District rejected a proposed increase in the educational tax rate at a special election in November. Board members had hoped that approval of the proposal would have given them the additipnal funds that are claimed to be necessary as the increased enrollment results in increased operational costs. Approval was given to the summer school program at UTHS.

It will begin June 7 and run to July 19. Calendar for the 1963-64 school term also was adopted. School will begin on Sept. 3 and end with commencement exercises on June 2. Christmas vacation will run from Dec.

20 until Jan. 2. Easter vacation will be from March 26 through March 31 if no class days have been lost because of bad weather. Will Seek Post as Independent SILVIS Bill Jones, Silvis, has filed as an independent candidate for Hampton Township supervisor at the April election. Jones, incumbent supervisor, was defeated in his bid for renomination at the township Democratic caucus iast week.

He was defeated by Marcel Bob DeJaegh-er, Silvis. DeJaegher got the party nod by defeating Jones 260-215. Jones has been a supervisor for two years, being named to fill a vacancy when Wilbur Hermes took a job with the state highway department. Prior to that, Jones was an assistant supervisor-- for Right years. Yesterday was the final day for independent candidates to file.

Jones filed with Herman Bartels, township clerk. As a result, Jones and DeJaegher will oppose each other again at the election on April 2. The Peoples Party has not yet filed a slate of candidates with the township clerk. They may still file under a ruling which permits a committee to fill vacancies to function after the filing deadline has passed. If they dont file under this provision, Jones and DeJaegher will be the only two candidates for the supervisor post.

Confesses Holdup at Food Store A bandit 'held by Decatur au thorities has admitted the Jan.

15 holdup of the Eagle Food Store at 2633 11th Rock Island, but denied being responsible for any other recent armed robberies in Rock Island which are still un solved. Chief Claus C. Miller said a warrant charging Charles French, 23. Streator, with the holdup is on file but probably will not be used, in view of, other charges facing French from his extended crime spree. Chief Miller questioned French in Decatur.

He said French appar-rently limited his holdup activities to super markets and on one occasion, a bank. Several tatfern and service station holdups in Rock Island were considered as possible victims of French, on the basis of descriptions. According to the chief, he feels confident French carried out only the one robbery in Rock Island. He stated that French has cooperative with authorities since his apprehension. He described French as a gentleman bandit, who dressed and lived well and who owned a new car and airplane while leading the second life as a holdup man.

French first admitted holding up a super market in Moline but records indicated it was a Rock Island store. Chief Miller said French confirmed that it was a Rock Island store. Copies of his statement. authorities were returned by Chief Miller.

Zoning Board Will Study Two Requests Two cases are scheduled for study by Rock Islands Board of Zoning Appeals at its meeting tomorrow night at 7:30 in the City Hall. William J.

The House of Commons, winding up a two-day debate on the countrys economic future, was scheduled to vote late in the day on a Labor party motion of no confidence. With the Conservatives holding a 100-vote margin over the combined Labor-Liberal opposition, there was virtually no chance that Macmilans government would fall on the issue. Denounces French Opening the debate Monday, Macmillan roundly denounced President Charles de Gaulles government for its veto, then outlined a series of emergency actions he is planning to fill the void caused by the collapsed negotiations. Among them: A Commonwealth trade ministers meeting to be held in London in April or May to stimulate business. Britain will seek closer trading cooperation with the United States, her friends in Europe and other nations.

The government intends to drive for world commodity agreements, a cutback of tariffs and freer trade generally. West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer declared in an interview he feels certain Britain can gain admittance to the European trading bloc soon. In what could be interpreted as a rebuke to De Gaulle, Adenauer also emphatically backed the Ken-nedy-Macmillan Nassau agreement calling for the establishment of a multinational nuclear force for the North Atlantic Alliance.

The scouts will take a trip Saturday, probably to the Museum of Science and Industry at Chicago. A-TestBan- (Continued from Page One) ber of on-site inspections needed to control a nuclear test ban.

But there was no indication the United States was ready for such a stand. British Minister of State Joseph Godber told a news conference shortly before the resumption of the 17-nation disarmament conference that any such Western concession would require a corresponding Soviet willingness to meet the Western demand for foolproof safeguards. The Soviet Union has offered to allow two or three inspections a year on Soviet territory, as well as the installation of three "black box automatic recording stations. The West has rejected this as inadequate. The United States and Britain maintain that eight to 10 inspections and seven to 10 black boxes would be necessary to give adequate safeguards against violation of a test ban treaty.

Godber said the Western inspection requirement was based on a ratio of one inspection for every five unidentified seismic tremors in an average year. It would be unrealistic, of course, to expect us to come down from this ratio at the moment, but our standards are not immutable." Godber said. We certainly would have to see some advances from Russia, 'hey would have to come some way to meet us. We have always regarded the one-to-flve ratio as an effective deterrent, but we are more interested in having a deterrent than in sticking to any particular number.

They are treating the Westerners excellency, but for people from the Eastern European Communist countries it is a very different thing, said Gunter Stocker, a Duesseldorf businessman who arrived from Baghdad on a Lebanese airliner. Four Executed Four more Iraqi Communists were executed this morning. I was told that so far three East German military advisers at-tached to the army under Kassem (executed Premier Abdel Karim Kassem) have been arrested.

The East Europeans are trying to get out of the country. Hundeds of Communist bloc technicians, businessmen and their families live in Baghdad and other parts of Iraq. Kassem spent millions of dollars on Soviet military equipment fo his army and got advisers and technicians with it. -The-new regime was reported arming civilians to help wage all-out war against diehard Communist backers of Kassem. A traveler reaching Tehran, Iran, Monday said Iraqs new military rulers are arming civilians in Baghdad, Basa and other key cities to fight communist agitators: The traveler said police and troops in Basra opened fire on 3,000 Communist demonstrators carrying portraits of Kassem.

He said at least 250 wee killed. It appeared to be the fiercest offensive in the Middle East since the 1959 blood bath in Mosul. Then the Communists, In alliance with Kassems troops, crushed a revolt by slaughtering hundreds of Socialists and nationalists. Kassem was overthrown Friday and shot Saturday. The revolt leader, CoL-Abdul Karim Mustafa, has sent police and troops of the revived National Guard to every province with orders to round up Reds and shoot them down if they resist.

Despite the new rulers anticommunist campaign, the Soviet government joined Washington and London in recognizing the revolutionary regime.
