Reorganization The three public hearings held by the Adams county school reorganization committee last week were very interesting. They were held to inform the general public as to the conclusions they had drawn, and the proposed recommendations they had for the state committee. Naturally, there were some complaints. Many of the complaints were well founded. Some of them will doubtless be incorporated in the final plan submitted to the state. But there were also some conclusions that could be drawn from the meetings. A lot of the argument was just against the change. Some people do not have anything against the plan itself, they would have just as much complaint against any other plan, for they do not see the necessity of any change at all. If it was good enough for granddad, then it is good enough for junior. That would be all well and good, if junior was competing in the same world granddad was, but he is not. Some of the complaints were against size. Naturally, a school can get too big, and some schools are finding that out and trying to decentralize. But those schools might have been as big as 5,000 students to begin with. Some school districts in the United States might have as many as ten to fifteen thousand students, and that is too unwieldy. Butthose designed for Adams county will he around the 1,500 to 2,000 figure —a very managable and practical size. Some of the complaint was against tax rates. If the school tax rate was the only one we had, it would be a different matter, but, as we are all too well aware, it is not. Every tax is to some degree unfair to some portion 1 of the population, but they even out when taken as a whole. People that live in the city never think a thing of the fact that they pay county taxes that build county roads and county bridges that they seldom use. Most of these complaints are minor, though, compared to the one that was not brought out. In all the discussion, there was very little said about education. After all, the only reason we have schools is for education. It is not for basketball; not for professional babysitting; and not for local pride. All of Adams county’s schools are good, and they could all be better. The only practical w'ay to make them better is to combine some of them and give the youngsters of our county a better foundation on which to build. Where they are located does not make too much difference. What they are named is of even less importance. What they produce — educated young people who are ready to take their place in and make their contribution to society — is of the greatest importance. Editorial Writer Today John G. Heller

Belgian Premier Forced To Resign
BRUSSELS, Belgium (UPD —; The government of Premier Gaston Eyskens resigned today as the] result of a heavy setback to his I Social Christian party in National] parliamentary elections. Eyskens, whose party had been! blamed for disastrous develop-' ments in the Congo and the re-< economic repercussions .at] home, handed his*’: resignation to King Baudouin at Laeken Palace! shortly before noon. He had headed the coalition Social Christian - Liberal party government since November, 1958. An official announcement said the King accepted the resignation and asked Eyskens to continue handling current affairs until a successor is named. Political experts predicted the resulting governmeriC crisis may be one of the longest and toughest in this Country’s history. No one party emerged from the elections strong enough to govern on its own. Eyskens drove directly to the palace after a final one-hour meeting with his cabinet to discuss the results of the elections for both houses of Parliament on Sunday. He told newsmen he decided to quit two weeks ago, regardless of the election results, because “big

changes In the government were necessary.” Eyskens blamed the setback sufI sered by his party at the polls parti ly on his unpopular economic aus- ! terity program which triggered the I wave of anti-government strikes ' last December and January. Unofficial final results showed i the Social Christians had lost Bof : the 104 seats they held in the last ! lower house. In the senate, they dropped six seats and apparently lost their absolute majority. Unofficial returns for the 212-seat lower house gave the following distribution: Sotial Christians 96 'down 8>; Socialists 84 (unchanged >; Liberals 20 (down 11; Communist 5 (up 3> Flemish Peoples Union 5 (up 4); Independents 2 'up 2). Unofficial returns in the 175-seat senate gave: Social Christians 47 • down 6>; Socialists 45 <up s'; Liberals 11 (down 1); Communists 1 (unchanged >; Flemish Peoples Party 2 (up 2). Ironically, the Socialists — who ■ spearheaded the general strikes i against Eyskens and forced the elections — failed to gain any > strength in the important lower f house. ; The biggest gains were made by
the Communists and the Flemish Peoples Union. Eyskens’ decision to quit could plunge Belgium into what most political observers believe would be one of the toughest and longest pdliticbkcises in its history. Mike Kohne Completes Service In Army Gerald M. (Mike) Kohne, son of Dr. and Mrs. G. J. Kohne, who completed three years service with the U.S. Army, including 16 months in Germany and the last year at Fort Ord, Calif., arrived home Friday evening with his honorable discharge. Kohne, former reporter with the Decatur Daily Democrat, stated that he now plans to return to college and get his B.S. degree in science. SP/4 Kohne, the equivalent of corporal, was discharged Wednesday at Fort Ord, and spent the two days driving home.

Driver Is Arrested On Three Charges Jose R. Guerra, 35, 715 schirmeyer street, was arraigned in the Adams circuit court this morning on charges of driving while under the influence, reckless driving, and public intoxication. Guerra requested, through an interpeter, for time to secure a lawyer, so he was remanded to the Adams county jail by Judge Myles F. Parrish. He then posted a bond of $250 and was released. Guerra, who was driving on a restricted driver’s license, was arested at 7:45 p.m. Saturday in the 100 block of S. Second street, and was booked on the three separate charges.
GROMYKO (Continued from page 1) to ask Khrushchev to accept the Kennedy-supported terms for a Laotian cease-fire. The Allies, particularly Great Britain and the United States, have not seen eye-to-eye on methods of achieving peace in Laos, but the Kennedy-Macmillan meeting apparently swept aside many of these procedural differences. Delivers Letter Harriman was in New Delhi last Friday and delivered to Nehru a Kennedy letter asking the Indian leader to use his prestige to prevent the Laos crisis from flaming into conflict between larger powers. Arriving here from New York Sunday night, Harriman said Nehru supported the U.S. stand on Laos and would try to persuade Khrushchev to accept it. Macmillan’s spokesman, Harold Evans, said the British proposal to Khrushchev provided essentially for an immediate cease-fire which would be sought jointly by the British and the Russians. Their respresentatives were co-chairmen of the 1954 Geneva conference which established the independence of Laos, Cambodia and Viet Nam. The British plan also called for revival of the International Control Commission of 1954, this time to assure that a cease-fire is effective. Then the major powers would consider holding an international conference on Laos with about 14 nations participating.

Urge Early Filing For Tax Refunds “Today’s big tip from Uncle Sam is... “If you have an income tax refund coming and you have not yet filed your 1960 return, do it now! “The now part of the tip results from the fact that U.S. internal revenue service needs your unfiled returns to keep the refund pipeline filled up. “We’re about 2*4 million refunds and a third of a billion dollars we’re getting the refunds into the processing mill as soon as the returns come in. “If we are to maintain our present refund pace, we need a lot ahead of our pace at this time last year,” IRS said. “That means more returns than are being filled now as a result of the usual midMarch lull in filing. “So, says IRSI file now. “And it adds this advice to those who don’t want to delay their refunds unnecessarily: (1> Be sure you print your name and address legibly; <2> attach the required W-2 forms: (3) check your arithmetic, and (4) sign your return correctly."
