It doesn't figure that the Bear will turn into a kitten. According to U.S.

deiplomats connected with the test ban talks, Khrushchev is making so many concessions that we're liable to think of St. Nikita instead ot St. Nicholas at Christmastime and, as a mater of fact, he ain't giving; nothing to nobody! Study the proposals of the "negotiations" thus far the only concessions being made are by the U.S. deserting the test ban policy which has been in effect for IS years. Agreeing to a test ban without inspection is like sending a gun-slinger up against a Boston dude it's pure murder.

Trouble is that the United States is honorable, and honor has no place among thieves. While we're living up to the test ban agreement, the Bear will be laying bombs underground; President Kennedy if he accepts such terms surely must have rocked right off his rocker.

"it is true," Welsh replied, "that government, as well as business, has extended new opportunities and rights to Negro Americans at an accelerated pace In recent years, it seems clear, however, that the majority of our citizens feel that all Americans will benefit in the long run if Negroes are given the same basic freedoms as other Americans enjoy and hold precious."

United Press International LONDON (UPl)-Blonde Marilyn Rice-Davies, 18, testified today at the morals trial of Dr.

Stephen Ward that she had intercourse with former American film star Douglas Fairbanks Jr. At an earlier hearing Miss Rice-Davies named Viscount Astor 55, son of American-born Lady Nancy A6tor, as another of her lovers. Fairbanks now is a businessman with wide interests in Britain and Europe." Fairbanks, 53, is one of the leaders of the American colony in London. He and his wife, the former Virginia Lee Epling of Bluefield, are among the few foreigners who have entertained Queen Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh at home. There was no immediate comment from Fairbanks fin the girl's story.

Miss Rice-Davies told the court that while she was having an af fair with Fairbanks who established, residence in London in 1952-she also was sleeoing with SCHOOL TEACHERS 'ALL SHOOK UP' Three school teachers, two from Alexandria and one from Sum-mitville, were "shaken up" yesterday when the car in which they were riding collided with another at a four way stop on Bethel Pike near the Muncie city limits.

Public The General Commission of the State Board of Education today forecast that some of the public schools in Indiana will not be able to operate for a full term of nine months during ihe coming school year because of the cut in State Aid distribution, The cut in State Aid distribution of 87'4 million dollars during the coming school year will cause an overage increase i local property tax rates of $1 per $100 of assessed valuation. There are 115 school units which had tax rates of more than $3.23 last year. There is a statutory limit of $4.25 for school operating tax rates and most of these 115 school units will not be able to absorb th loss of State Aid. The problem is further complicated by the fact that the poor school cifstricts, which generally already have a high tax rate, will be hardest hit. While the average increase will be $1, the General Commission estimated that the actual increases will range from 50 cents to more than 5 in the various School corpor-, SCHOOL REORGANIZATION Voice of public can be heard in trouble; property taxes soar WASHINGTON (UPI) Presi-c'-3nt Kennedy is appointing a commission on automation to search for means of easing he unemployment backwash caused when machines replace men.

The President announced appointment of the commission Monday as part of his message to Congress asking that the Interstate Commerce Commission step into a prime example of the impact automation can have the railroad work rules dispute. He said the commission would outline the effects automation is likely to have during the next 10 years and recommend governmental action. The commission "should undertake the most comprehensive review of this complex and many-sided subject ever ventured," Kennedy said. He gave the commission until the end of next year to complete its study. Kennedy said that last year's Manpower Development and Training Act is "too limited" in scope to "provide the full an schools ations.

Several of the school districts, ranging from Gary in Lake County to Polk Township in Monroe County are already levying the maximum rate of $4.25. These school units will not be able to raise the tax rates, and when they lose an average of $94 per pupil they simply will not have enough money to pay their expenses of operation during the last part of the coming school year. The 3udget Bureau has announced thai the State Aid ds-tribution for the coming school year, which had been fixed by the Legislature at $172 million dollars, will be cut 87'4 million dollars, fn order to keep schools in operation, however, all of that reduction will be made during the first half of 1964, The schools will, if enough money comes into the State treasury, receive their full amount during the last half of 1963, but ojring the first six months of 1964 will receive only 10 million dollars out of on expected 78 million dollars. During the next fiscal year, which will cover the school year of 1964-1965, the Stale, Department says mining mcnt has dropped by a fifth just since 1957. One of the problems of automation-caused unemployment is that the workers replaced by machines usually are unskilled or only semi-skilled.

Jobs they can fill with no further- training arc scarce so a retraining program is a vilal necessity. The Labor Department has re-iwrted that in 1956, for the first time in labor history, white col lar workers outnumbered collar workers b'uc by the Court's decision holding the sales tax unconstitutional. The Commission indicated the follow-, ing changes to be made: A. The flat $25 per pupil distribution would be eliminated. B.

Distribution per pupil would be reduced approximately $94 per pupil for instructional salaries; $47 per pupil for maintenance and operation: and $17 per pupil transportation. William E. Wilson, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, in explaining these reductions, pointed out that the Commission was not exercising its own dis-i cretion, but was simply following the law in reducing the distribu-1 tion formula. In a prepared statement, tht General Commission stated: 1. "We believe that the reduction in State Aid from $350, to $172,000,000 for the bien-nium will have a disastrous effect on education in Indiana.

We urged the Budget Agency to revise its proposer allocation to increase the distribution to the local schools.

The Madison County School Corporation Reorganization "Committee is now in the process of studying proposals to create a "more uniform and thorough system of public schools" as outlined by a School Reorganization Act amended by the last legislature. What are the righto of John Well, he has several. First, the county committee it required to hold public hearings throughout the county.

The law that the county committee explain the proposed reorgantaatlnn plan, in Aid will be cut almost exactly in half. The (icneral Commission also warns the local school corporations to be prepared for a delay in the October distribution this year, since the money cannot be distributed until it a been collected by the State. Although the State Budget Bureau has promised to pay the ful 1 amount of the October distribution, it could not be crtain the money would be available in October, and there was some fear that it might not be paid in full until next year.

The General Commission also urged the local school boards to include an item for interest for temporary loans i their budgets, since mo Commission forecast that almost every school corporation in the State may have to borrow money in the spring against anticipated revenue. The cost for these loans was estimated at three to four million dollars for the State. The General Commission in its meeting today also considered the revision of the State Aid distribution formula made necessary.
