"We would like to join forces with you," Avery replied. In the event the Board does approve the Central application, granting it the right to operate in Springfield, then we would have to ask for a suspension of ser vice. Traffic is not sufficient to warrant service over the same route by two lines." That's reasonable.

Manager Avery observed. Central now has four stops at the Springfield port daily, two each way on the Memphis-Kansas City route. Presently, Delta uses one Convair, one DC-3 in its operation, but a second Convair will be in use by April 1, Mensie be lieved.

"We give service and hospitality from the heart and that isn't just a bunch of empty words." Attorney Newberry, accompanied to Washington by Pearson Ward of the Airport Board, said the CAB asked the city to submit full statistics on loading and destination of air traffic from Spring-Held over American lines, along with the type of industries in the city and their air freight requirements and passenger service needs. This information will be supplied to the CAB at a hearing to start in Kansas City June 24, and Newberry said American has offered the city its records for purposes of the compilation. Stopping in St. Louis, Newberry questioned a representative of Ozark Airlines about the size of planes which Ozark would use hero if- its service extended "He said he recognized the equipment problem and that something would have to be done, but he did not say what Ozark intended to do."

Bradshaw Refuses To Enter Race Against Brown Springfield attorney and promi nent Republican Jean Paul Brad shaw today definitelyjailed him self out of the race for Congress Rumors that he might be drafted have persisted for some time. It is known that a GOP group had tried to pressure Bradshaw, a member of the law firm of Neale, Newman, Bradshaw, Freeman and Neale, Into the race. Today Bradshaw said: "I am very grateful to the many people over this entire district who have asked me to file for Congress.

It is an honor to be asked, and a great opportunity for service if elected. "I have given the entire matter careful consideration. But the de mands made on me 1 in my own law practice are such that I simply cannot become a candidate for any public office at this time." As recently as last Saturday, at the Republican luncheon at the Kentwood Arms hotel, and open ing of Republican headquarters, groups had tried to talk Bradshaw into running. Two Republicans have already filed on the Republican ticket, to face the present congressman Charlie Brown, a Democrat, at the polls. Although Brown has not yet filed to return to his seat, friends have said that that is oriy a formality.

The two Republicans who have filed are Charles Fain of Branson and State Senator Noel Cox. Bradshaw ran for governor in 1944, prior to that he had been prosecuting attorney in Laclede county for two terms, and, before that, was an assistant attor ney In the State Highway Com mission for six years.

Graff, and the Springfield Board of Education" to handle personnel matters which, they held, "are and should ojptfhue to be within the province" of administration and board. The Assembly, through its chairman, Dr. Warfprd Johnson, promptly termed the Jaycee action "premature," said complaints being Y6Iced6yTeachers through th questionnaires are "quite serious," although a compilation of results will not be completed until next week.

Jaycee inspection of the questionnaires last Sunday night was "quite superficial." Dr. Johnson declared. Of 302 questionnaires returned. Dr. Johnson said, approximately 45 percent indicate dissatisfaction.

That would be 135 such replies But one of the Jaycee "fact finding committee" members said that of 297 questionnaires returned last Sunday night, only 111 indicated dissatisfaction. Assuming that the five additional questionnaires were all from unhappy teachers. mat would be 116, or only 38 percent of the total of 302. Reportedly, only 55 Indicated willingness to publicly express dissatisfaction. Dr.

Johnson explained the discrepancy thus: Only ill teachers checked a point in the questionnaire specifically asking if they were dissatisfied. But others checked neither the "satisfied" nor "dissatisfied" squares but listed criticisms which indicated that they were in the latter category. It was specified in the questionnaire that failure to return it to the Assembly would indicate satisfaction with the administration. Thus, if 135 teachers are dissatis fied, as Dr. Johnson figures in dicate, that's roughly 20 per cent of the total of 646 teachers in the system.

Using the Jaycee figures of 111 pfuf possible 5, the percentage drops to around 17. Dr. Johnson said some questionnaires were sent to persons other than teachers, believed a total of around 650 were mailed. Virtually all replies have come from teachers and, principals, he said. Reportedly, questionnaires have been received by some custodians, secretaries, and even members of the administrative staff.

Dr. F. T. H'Doubler, Jaycee president, said his organization's action was based on its own survey, of which review of the Assembly's questionnaires was only a part. Three Jaycees Dave Maupin, Don Hoy and Jerry Doran formed the nucleus of a "factfinding" organization which spent many hours interviewing administrators and teachers in an effort to arrive at a conclusion as to the nature and seriousness of complaints, Dr.

H'Doubler said "These were fellows who bad not made up their minds one way or the other about the situation. They were chosen on that basis." Among other things, the Jaycees held a radio' panel discussion of the situation, with members of the Assembly of Citizens as guests. At the Assembly's invitation, Jaycee representatives last Sunday night reviewed the questionnaires. The fact finding committee's re port last was followed by adoption of the resolution by unanimous vote of approximately 40 members attending. Briefly, the resolution states that Jaycees have given "careful, thoughtful and serious considera tion" to personnel problems of the school system, and have come to the conclusion that "no problem of sufficient importance has been raised to warrant further public investigation." It expresses full confidence in Superintendent Graff and the Board of Education and adds an expression of appreciation for the coopera tion of the Assembly of citizens, Members of the Jaycees today said they believed teacher grievances fall Into some four class! fications "all having to do with personalities," added that they were told that the Assemoiy oi Citizens is Interested not in num bers but in "Intensity" of com plaint.

In that connection. Dr. John son said the Assembly is interest- ed both in numbers and nature of complaints, added that some voiced by teachers are, in his opinion, "quite serious. He said that a week ago, at Jaycee Invitation, three Assembly I reDi-esentatives lunched with mem bers of the Jaycee group, distus- sed the progress of the Inquiry in to the school situation. Jaycees volunteered their help in evaluat ing results of the questionnaires, Dr.

Johnson said, and last 'Sunday the Assembly decided to take advantage of the offer. We thought the same group would come," Dr. Johnson related, but a fresh bunch of kids snowea up, and said they were looking for facts. We told them we man i nave any facts as yet. that we were in the Drocess of evaluating tne ques tionnaires and wanted heip.

we spent considerable time just orienting them, and then they left ns set oi Questions which they wanted answered, which we haven neen able to answer yet. They made no Inventory of the questionnaires; I would say their Inquiry, as far as the questionnaires are concern ed, was very superficial. Jaycees feel that their investiga tion was adequate, Dr. H'Doubler said, that 'nothing tangible, nothing worthy of further investi gation" was developed "It is our feeling It la an internal af fair, and that one noesn i air jam-Uy problems la public." The schools have an Important bond and levy election coming up April 1, Dr. H'Doubler reminded "We thought had better clear the air, and get on with program."
