Re Simpson, state superintendent Public Instruction, announced day. Of this sum, $138,680.52 was elementary schools, and $20,000 for high schools. Simpson said. The apportionment, the intendant stated, is based on growth for the first portion of current fiscal year, from July Dec. $1, inclusive. It is the of two apportionments authored by the state legislature in 1996 placing apportionments on rent basis. Total figure apportioned to California counties, Simpson was $6,046,207.64, which with second apportionment for gr to be made next June, will su ment the annual principal a tion to schools by $14 million. Principal apportionment tified last October, was $226,534.81. Out of the 1800 element school districts in the state, are obtaining assistance beca of attendance increases. Simpson said, but the major portion of money is going to congested u rreas. Average growth for the month period approximates per cent, Simpson stated. MORE ABOUT ... American Dancer PUC Hears Edison Company Gripe Against Wind Machine Operators At the hearing Feb. 27, before the California Public Utilities commission in the Santa Barbara Court House, Southern California Edison Company representatives explained why owners of electrically driven wind machines should be required to equip them with time delay relays or manual switches. Company witnesses said that prior to 1951 wind machines on Edison lines were not sufficiently numbered to enable any problem. Since then, however, the number of the machines has increased greatly and it is anticipated that the rapid rate of increase will continue. As a result, installation of delay relays or manual switches is deemed necessary to avoid unreasonable interruptions of electric service of all customers in the vicinity of wind machines, as well as that of the wind machine owners. The starting current for electrically driven wind machine motors is from five to seven times as great as the running current, a witness explained. If a service interruption occurs on any circuit while thermostatically controlled machines are running, they all try to restart at the instant service is being restored. But the aggregate high starting current of the wind machines causes an overload on the circuit which, recently, has prevented service from being promptly restored in such cases. It was pointed out that this overload, caused by all the wind machines on a circuit attempting to restart simultaneously, does not harm the company's property or facilities in any way—it simply keeps a switch open in a substation or elsewhere, and is similar to the action of a fuse or circuit breaker in a home. However, the starting overload, which would be eliminated by use of delay relays or manual starting switches, does unreasonably prolong electric service interruptions and causes tions because of the automatic startings characteristics of thermostatically controlled wind machines after any kind of a service interruption, the company does not particularly specify that time delay relays must be installed. The company's requirement permits wind machine owners to comply by adapting their machines for manual starting. But if a wind machine owner desires the automatic starting feature for his own convenience, the company believes that the necessary protective equipment should be provided by the wind machine owner at his own expense. The company representatives indicated their belief that any other solution would prove impractical and unreasonably discriminatory to other customers. Highway Patrol Chief Warns Slowpoke Drivers A double warning to slow drivers and to the motorists who might find themselves behind the slowpokes was issued today by Clifford Peterson, California Highway Patrol commissioner. "Keep to the right" was the word to drivers of slow moving vehicles and "keep alert" was the advice to the faster drivers. Double caution was needed, said Peterson, because blame for many serious or fatal accidents lies with both the slow driver who hegs the center of the highway and blocks traffic and the fast driver who fails to realize that these slow drivers do exist and fails to make allowances for them. Peterson pointed out that slow vehicles are required by law to stay over to the right side of the road as far as possible, except when making a left turn or passing another vehicle. MORE ABOUT...

The American ballet dancers killed was Brooklyn-born Jerry Harriet Katzman, 21, who danced under the name of Harriet Tracy with the Marquis de Cuevas company. She appeared last night in Cannes in a ballet called "Amor y de la Muerte" (Oliver and Death). Lise Topart, 24, and Micha Verly, 41, were the French activists who died. Other victims include British, French, or Italian dresses. The pilot, Theau Frugia, 29, a veteran of 4500 hours flying time, and his wife were killed. Mrs. Margarite Delpy of Palm Beach was taken alive from the wreckage. She is in critical condition at a hospital, authorities said. Bodies of the victims were badly burned.

California Highway Commissioner Travels Rough Legislative Road SACRAMENTO (CNS) — Commissioner Clifford Peterson of the California Highway Patrol was informed today that when the Legislature tells him to do something, they expect him to do it.

And especially is this true when it comes to getting a job done for which the legislature appropriates money. That was the gist of three hours of hearings on the Patrol's request for 200 additional officers to patrol the state's highway system at an annual additional cost of close to $2,000,000 to California taxpayers. The patrol's budget is now $10,210,000. The directive came from a Senate Finance Committee unit listening to Peterson's plan for additional men. Actually, the subcommittee didn't get into discussing the additional men. That will come next Tuesday, when a third hearing on the patrol—the longest and most prolonged of any of the hearings so far held on this year's budget—is held. The committee was derailed from its intention of listening to Peterson on the additional men when committee members leveled verbal blasts at the patrol's organizational set-up, its operations, and, especially, its attitude. This was the second time such items have come up and it became manifest that as far as this senate committee is concerned, the patrol is in for rough sailing in the months ahead. Hints of "cleaning up," to "reorganization" have been made. The attitude of the patrol brought the directive to "do what it is told." Last year, the legislature allowed Peterson $7000 to make 40 per cent sampling of what happens to traffic citations, as to their disposition. Peterson's didn't do the job. He frankly has admitted not doing it, and says he wants to do a 100 per cent job or none at all. "That isn't for you to decide, Commissioner," Senator Randolph Collier, Yreka, sub-committee chairman, told Peterson. "If we wanted you to do a 100 per cent job, we would have given you the money. It is up to us to decide what is right or wrong."
