Reorganization To Be Tightened INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — The Indiana School Reorganization Commission will recommend to the 1963 Legislature that it set the size of district school boards rather than continue with the present variable figure of 3 to 7 members. The law which set school reorganization into motion now has had about three years of practical operating experience, and director J.B. Kohlmeyer said today several needed changes are apparent. “None of the changes we will recommend will change the original intent of the law,” Kohlmeyer said. “But the act does need some clarifying and some simplifying. It needs a few more changes to make it more acceptable.” Kohlmeyer said one of the changes concerns the size of the school boards and another the question of who names the interim ] , board after a reorganization plan becomes effective, and before the voters select their own board 1 members. Another area in which the commission will seek changes concerns duties placed on the county school reorganization committees which are beyond the committees’ power to carry out, such as determining future use of existing buildings or locations of new buildings. Kohlmeyer said the present law says the school board shall consist of not less than three nor more than seven members. “We now feel this should be one specific number, either 3, 5 or 7,” he said. “There have been some places in which the board consists

of spur members and this has cause)! deadlocks.” “The present act does not make clear who appoints the board,” Kohlmeyer said. “In some areas the board has been named by the circuit judge; in others by township trustees, city councils or town boards. We need an amendment to state who shall appoint this board.” Kohlmeyer also noted that a county reorganization committee which prepared a plan for presentation to the voters is saddled with tome duties it cannot fulfill. “It must state the future use of existing buildings and yet this committee has nothing to say afterwards about the way buildings are used,” he said. “It must make an estimate of the cost of reorganization—but what if teachers get a raise? Is this a reorganization cost? The present law asks the county committee to do things no committee can do because it can’t bind the school board.” Kohlmeyer said the commission : will recommend that these duties be eliminated from the law. One growing problem in some areas which will not be solved by ’ the commission’s proposal is that < of the county school superintendent who is elected for a four-year term and could wind up with a salary and almost no duties. Kohlmeyer conceded it wa s a problem. In fact, he cited Wayne County as an example of a situation in which a county superintendent may soon have only one township to supervise. But he said the commission does not feel it has the duty of making a recommendation for legislation o n county superintendents. He noted the 1961 Legislature had a bill to change the term of county superintendents to one year, but the bill didn’t pass.

Newspaper History In Chicago Museum CHICAGO (UPD—The Chicago Museum of Science and Industry today opened a permanent exhibit that tells the story of the men and machines that gather, edit, illustrate and p üblish a newspaper in America. Lenox R. Lohr, museum president, said it is the first permanent exhibit ever presented in any of this country’s museums to show the general public how the nation’s newspapers are produced and the role they have played in the progress and preservation of America’s freedoms. The exhibit, entitled “The Newspaper in America,” was prepared by the museum with funds in a $146,949 unrestricted grant given by the Robert R. McCormick charitable trust, named for the late publisher of the Chicago Tribune. Sleeker HairdosTo Surge Into Fashion - UPI Women’s Editor NEW YORK (UPI) — A hairdresser whose customers are perennials on the best - dressed list predicts that a wave of sleeker hairdos is surging into fashion. The new coiffures will not be plastered to the head, not that sleek, said Kenneth Bat telle. But they will make the beehives and bouffants as dated as the marcel. “It’s just a natural rebellion,” said Battelle. “Women soon tire of the bizarre.” The forthcoming trend, as s een by Battelle, will put the hair closer to the face than in previous sesons, but sill puff out at the crown and back. “We have learned in the last five years,” said Battelle, “that a little exaggeration of line does a lot for a head of hair.” Battelle is better known as Kenneth—the only name he uses in the hairdressing world where his skill with comb and brush has pushed him into a limelight few hairdressers ever enjoy. Magazines have profiled “the boy from Syracuse” (he was born in Syracuse, N.Y. 35 years ago), customers travel from all parts of the country for a Kenneth styling, and Kenneth in turn t ravels to them when they need their hair done for an important occasion. He went to Washington to dress Mrs. John F. Kennedy’s hair for the inauguration festivities, he does the hair of Mrs. Kennedy’s sister, Princess Radziwill, when she is in New York, he did that of Queen Sirfcit of Thailand on a recent world trp, and counts both Mrs. William Paley and Mrs. Norman K. Winston as r egular customers. All five have appeared on best dressed liato in recent years.

Private Citizen Finds Out How To Appear Before ICC

WASHINGTON (UPD—Pity the private citizen who hopes to raise his voice before the Interstate Commerce Commission against a proposed railroad merger, according to one who did. (A commission spokesman reported the fact that the complainant did testify in opposition shows that it san be done.) Walter F. Corns, Frankfort, Ind., Nickel Plate Railroad yardman, testified before a Senate antitrust subcommittee recently in behalf of a bill which would apply ■the antitrust act to certain mer- ♦ gers. He related his experience when, : as a representative of a civic organization formed in four Illinois and Indiana cities, he sought to ; oppose the proposed merger of the ‘ Norfolk & Western and the Nickel • Plate. The commission has not yet ruled on the case. Have Fine Lawyers ; Railroads, Corns said, spend a great deal of time, effort, and : money assembling exhibits, testi- ! mony by expert witnesses, and the L like. The railroads have “a fine ! staff of lawyers” to do the job, 1 he added. (Railroad unions, which virtu- ! ally always oppose the mergers, 1 also have highly paid legal coun--1 sei, the ICC spokesman said.) Corns said his organization ! wrote the ICC and was told “we ! could become parties to the case, ! file briefs, and appear before the 1 commission in Washington.” ' “I had the naive idea, I would file petition myself to appear be- ■ fore the commission,” Corns said. 1 “I ashed my attorney at Frankfort ; what I should do. I was told it would be necessary to hire a commerce attorney here in Washing--1 ton.” (Not true, said the ICC spokesman. A lawyer can make a more ■ polished, effective presentation, perhaps, but the commission 1 "bends over backwards” to hear private citizens. They are re* ‘ quired only to abide by the ICC’s ■ "reasonable” rules aimed at pre--1 venting the hearing from degen--1 erating into a brawl, “like the ; President’s press conferences,” he said.) Estimate Its Cost To the national capital he came. Corns said. Members of a law firm which specializes in handling , cases before the ICC told him f what to expect in preparing the case “and also a minimum of t what it might cost,” he said.

“Gentlemen, if anyone ever tells any of you that the public has a fair chance at a commission railroad merger hearing case, take it from me, they misconstrue the truth,” Corns told the Senate subcommittee. “If it had not been for a group of dedicated people pooling efforts and money t ogether, we co uld never have appeared and inter- > vened in that merger hearing.” > (Corns apparently considered ’ that he represented the public ■ view, but his actually was onesided, the ICC spokesman said. Nevertheless, he said, Corns’ ar- • guments were listened to as carei fully as those of any other interi I

Chinese Reds Still Covet Chang's Isle HONG KONG (UPI) — Marshal Chen Yi, Communist China’s foreign minister, recently surprised Western correspondents in Geneva by engaging them in an informal give - and - take that is rare with any Chinese Communist diplomat anywhere. Among other things, he spoke of Sino-American relations and of Formosa. Peiping’s thinking o n these two subjects 1S indissolubly linked together. Peiping’s statements on Formosa have been consistent from the beginning: 1949, when the Communists came to power on the Chinese mainland and the island became Chiang Kai-shek's last bastion. Peiping’s announced objective of extending its rule to Formosa, as distinct from the military or political tactics necessary to accomplish this, has never been in doubt. The Communists are serious about this. And when they talk of “the Americans occupying China’s territory of Taiwan (Formosa),’’ their viewpoint is one of chasing foreigners from their country, not of attacking a foreign government. “We can wait 10 or 20 years,” Chen Yi told his listeners. And he meant it, Hong Kong diplomatic observers believe. In the past, the Chinese Communists have made it clear they would be willing to settle the Formosa “question” by political means instead of by armed force.

ested party in the proceeding.) Lived Up To Billing Corns said he was warned what the hearing would be like and, he indicated it lived up to the advanced billing. “The railroad presents a very fine and well prepared case, with a battery of very capable railroad lawyers, many stacks of exhibits, . expert witnesses,” he said. “After railroads are h eard, and have [ presented their case, along comes . the public. “Mayors, civic leaders, etc., get on the witness stand to present ’ testimony. The railroad attorneys . then proceed to cut the witness’ . testimony to pieces. “Public interest in rail merger

This might mean offering some form of local autonomy to the Nationalists under the Communist flag. For Instance, Chou En-lai said in a speech July 30, 1955, “If possible, the Chinese government is willing to enter into negotiations with responsible local authorlties of Taiwan (Formosa) to map out concrete steps for Taiwan's peaceful liberation.” So far as is known here, this offer still stands. "The people In Peiping are waiting for the day when they will be dealing with a leader on Formosa who will ask the Americans to withdraw from his country,’’ one observer here in Hong Kong said. ; : “No self - respecting Chinse— Communist or Nationals! — will adimt that the present situation can be perpetuated. No Chinse wants an independent Formosa. Nor does he w ant two Chinese governments. He thinks of ‘Mother China’ as being one, and only one.” Judge Harrington Back On Bench Judge Robert Harlrngton, seriously injured two months ago in a one-car auto accident at the state line, returned to the bench Thursday for three hours for the first time since the June 6 wreck. Judge Harrington, municipal court judge, was returning from Decatur about 9:30 p.m. in his wife’s small foreign ear when lights from an approaching car blinded him on the curve. The car hit the berm, and the judge pulled it back too fast, causing it to flip over. Robert Zwick, of Zwick’s Funeral Home, arrived in the ambulance, and took him to Van Wert, where he first told his wife that he was all right, and then was taken to the hospital. He has recovered pretty well from broken ribs, a broken breast bone, and broken right leg, but has returned to the bench against his doctor’s advice. hearings is a word and not fact.” (The ICC spokesman said if the Commission believes its hearing is failing to cover all aspects of the issue, it appoints an attorney to develop the record so that the ICC decision will represent the public interest).
