Ledge To Vote Again Concluded from Page One noted, that a lesser amount would mean a program of lesser quality. Duane Woodruff said, "The 6 mills assure the opening of Hayes School and will support nearly a full complement of teachers as planned by the school board." Passage of the 6 additional mill proposal would provide a school, this budget budget of the $3,250,000. board could hire an additional 30 or more teachers. Woodruff said many people have opposed higher millage proposals the past. He said, "These same people will support their schools and the children of the community by voting yes on the 6-mill proposal." Woodruff also noted that at this late date it might not be possible to hire the 45-plus teachers suggested by the board.

UTTERLY OPPOSED Wayne Peake who came out against both proposals, ran for a seat on the Grand Ledge Board of Education last spring. He defeated by Norman Huhn. "The school board can get by with the present budget," Peake said. The present budget is $2,850,000 based on 12.8 mills. "There is no reason for half-day sessions.

They won't save a nickel." Peake said that a family man just couldn't keep up with rising prices and additional taxes. He suggested that the state income tax be hiked up slightly and the excess be used for education. He said the property tax system is unfair to property owners. "I'm all for good education. We need it," Peake said.

"But there's got to be a limit." SPECIAL MEETING Peake, and the Interested Oneida Citizens ChapGroup suggest that if both proposals, are special defeated election in Supt. MonKenneth Beagle and the top three school board members resign. "Then let the people put in some new members who can, and are willing to run our schools on ample funds now assured and available." On the fate of the proposals, Peake predicted that the 6 additional mills would pass. "The boards scare tactics will make the people vote it in, "Peake said. The school board has called a special meeting for 8:30 p.m.

Monday night to decide its direction for the school year after receiving the results of the special election. Pullout Decision Deferred Concluded from Page One extent of enemy activity since it broke the lull in the fighting with shelling and assaults in mid-August. The resulting fighting caused a sharp rise in American casualties last week. Earlier in the summer, American military experts were convinced that the enemy was planning a mid-summer offensive. The conclusion was reached on the basis of captured documents, the fact that troops had been withdrawn to rest, and because supplies were known to have been put into forward positions.

Ziegler declined to say whether the President's military advisers still predicted an enemy offensive. When asked whether the infiltration rate was up, he replied that "it is down from its high point but we want to watch it." The President received a report on the stalemated Paris talks Friday from Henry Cabot Lodge, the chief American delegate. Lodge flew to San Francisco to attend a state dinner the President gave there Thursday for South Korean's President Chung Hee Park, and then flew to San Clemente with the President Friday. The secretary of state and Henry A. Kissinger, assistant for National Security Affairs, also took part in the meeting.

Lodge flew to Boston after the meeting. Secretary Rogers and Kissinger remained in San Clemente. THE STATE JOURNAL FOUNDED APRIL 28, 1855 Published weekday afternoons and Sunday mornings by FEDERATED PUBLICATIONS, from the office of The State Journal, 120 E. Lenawee Lansing, Mich. 48919.

(UPI Telephoto) Grim Search Continues For Victims of Camille The search for victims of Hurricane Camille continued Saturday in Mississippi and Virginia. In both states there was little hope that all the bodies would be found. Hurricane Debbie, meanwhile, was moving northeast over the Atlantic at 20 to 25 miles an hour. At noon Saturday she was 500 miles south of Cape Race, Newfoundland, threatening shipping lanes with her 110-mile an hour winds. Mississippi Gov.

John Bell Williams put Camille's death toll in his state at "about 200." But rescue workers were still recovering bodies. An Army pilot reported "about 40" victims entangled in a floating pile of debris, which was probably swept out to sea. A delegation from the House Public Works subcommittee was surveying the Mississippi Gulf Coast to determine whether additional federal aid was necessary. Virginia Gov. Mills E.

Godwin Jr. estimated that "at least 100 of our citizens" died in floods and landslides from heavy rains attributed to Camille. Godwin asked for federal disaster aid for flooded areas.

LIMA, Peru (AP) Government administrators have withdrawn from the chemical and paper of W.R. Grace and and Monday will administer only the New York firm's expropriated sugar enterprises. A Grace spokesman said Saturday the company had received a government resolution "modifying and rectifying" its Aug. 18 order to agrarian reform officials to assume administration of the entire W. R.

Grace complex. Gen. Jorge Barandiaran, minister of agriculture, emphasized Friday night the government had not taken over Grace plants manufacturing plastics, paper and alcohol. The problem arose because Grace operated all its holdings in Peru under unified banking, accounting and administration. White House West' Safe From Fires SAN DIEGO, Calif.

(UPI)Flames spread over more 63,000 acres of dry brush in hills and canyons of three southern California counties Saturday and a heavy veil of smoke hanging overhead hampered firefighters. The biggest fire raged out of control over 40,000 acres on the Camp Pendleton Marine Corps base, which adjoins Nixon's Western White teresident. and the Cleveland National Forest. The fire was 10 miles due east of San Clemente, burning in a southeasterly direction, and officials said there was no risk it would turn toward the is about 14,000. coast and Nixon's seaside H.

Thus, when Peru adopted an agrarian reform measure on 24 and expropriated Peru's largest plantations, it was impossible to separate Grace's sugar plantation holdings from the rest of their extensive operations. The government's first move was to send intervenors to the plantations as watchdogs over all financial operations. They required their countersignatures on all checks. Then the Agriculture Ministry last Monday ordered agrarian reform officials to take over administration of plantations and oust the managers. Apparently the minister had not thought out the problem encountered in the Grace holdings.

The agrarian reform officials informed Grace they would administer the entire company complex until he sugar operations were separated. Grace officials protested to the government. The military Cabinet of President Juan Velasco adopted a special resolution Friday exempting Grace. A Grace spokesman said Percy Barclay, a Peruvian who has been general manager at the company's Cartavio plantation sugar and rum operations, remains ousted. But no other officials are affected.

Grace values its sugar holdings at about $10 million ad the value of all its holdings in Peru at more than $65 million. John C. Duncan, executive vice president in charge of Latin American operations, flew back to New York Friday after learning of the resolution. He had come here to help unravel the problem.
