Knutson suggested in a TV-radio appearance Thursday night that non-academic programs be taken out of the school day and be added as school activities. The mayor made the suggestion in a half-hour talk in which he explained his reasons for vetoing the Logan Junior High School classroom addition and indoor- outdoor swimming pool which was passed by the Common Council last month. If the schools used swimming pools after school hours, two problems would be solved, Knutson said. A full day could be used for an academic program, which already has too short a day, and it also would give those who say is nothing to do in this town" the opportunity for organized recreation after school, he said. Other activities such as driver training are during academic hours, he said Driver training is good, but it should be held after school and not as part of the academic program, he said North Side residents will he disappointed if get the Logan pool, he said, but added that he was sure the Council would approve a pool on the North Side similar to the one to be started on the South Side, only the residents select a site The mayor said that recreation programs should be kept out of the control of the schools.

School Superintendent John Bjorge July 12 assured residents that the Logan pool would be open to responsible organizations and to the public when it wasn't being used by the schools, Knutson said. is nice of Mr. Bjorge. but why is it necessary for him to have to even make such a the mayor asked. Thc cost of an indoor-outdoor pool is several times higher than an outdoor pool, he said.

The new South Side oudoor pool will cosi $170,000. while Davy Engineering Co. estimates an indoor-outdoor pool would cost $500,000, lie said. The Citizen's Education Committee favors the pool at Logan if the pool is necessary to get the classroom addition. Knutson said.

It wants three high schools there can be more bands, football games and other activities for the kiddies. It's about time we stop treating high school students as the mayor said. The Citizens Committee says that an 18-acre site for 1,500 students on thc South Side is not large enough but a 6-acre site for 1.446 students at Logan is, Knutson said. At the South Side high school there would be 84 students per acre while at Logan 241 per acre, he said. The committee also said the new high school will cost over $4 million, Knutson said.

Actually, it will cost around $3 million, according to thc mayor. create 21-man finance (there are 21 aldermen'.

La Crosse AAA representative. La Crosse has a 1962 record of no pedestrian deaths and 14 pedestrian injuries. The averages for the 220 cities reporting in the AAA National Pedestrian Program Appraisal are one death and 28.1 injuries per Tribune Photo. MINNEAPOLIS Police reported Thursday night that the true identity of a man shot Wednesday while approaching a stolen safe is Marvin White, 34. former Minneapolis resident whose mother lives in Duluth.

The dead man first had been identified from papers on his person as James P. Hoyt, 30, Oakland. Calif. But police now say those papers apparently either were stolen or forged. Capt.

William Mahnke of the burglary division said the first tip the true identity came from a woman who had seen picture in the newspaper. Checking out her leads, officers discovered that White had been I held here about eight months ago for investigation of some Minneapolis burglaries but never was charged. Police traced his route to California, back to Denver and then Minnesota and Wisconsin. Mahnke said White was on bail in California on burglary and grand larceny charges and also was believed wanted in Portland, Ore. Subsidy To North Central Is Discussed The annual federal subsidy to North Central Airlines, which in calendar year 1962 amounted to approximately $8,526,000.

vv a explained Friday morning to the Greater La Crosse Chamber of Commerce. Joseph Ludden, chairman of the chamber's air transportation committee, reported after the meeting that North Central seeks support of the La Crosse Chamber for North concerning the subsidy. He said he was not able to satisfactorily explain the North Central position but that it would come up Monday before the board of dilectors. The Friday meeting heard from Frank J. Buttomer of Minneapolis, North Central vice president for sales and traffic and Henry Thiele, a sales representative.

Ludden, quoting Buttomer, said the 1963 subsidy which North Central expects to receive from the federal government is not known at this time. It is based, he said, on a complicated formula. All airlines carriers each year receive money from the i States taxpayers with which to help operate airlines, Ludden said. Federal government officials in Washington, D.C., for several have voiced opinions that subsidies should be gradually reduced.
