Board Fights Release of Stengle Bid
COLLINGDALE The Collingdale School Board will oppose the release of former Collingdale superintendent Pa ber E. Stengle from prison. Stengle, sentenced in 1958 for embezzling about $201,000, has applied to the State Board of Pardons for clemency. His hearing is set for Tuesday in Philadelphia City Hall. The board, led by secretary John Alexander, argues against commutation and restitution, noting no overture to repay. The panel also discussed Harris Elementary School ground development and a $1,935 storm sewer contract for Harris School, plus resignations of several faculty and staff.

Fluoridation Plan Wins Public Favor in Media
Media borough council meets with broad support for water fluoridation as mayor Frank J. Wiltshire presides. The body awards a $1,698 police car contract to Miley and Brown Motors, approves a $10,000 bank loan in anticipation of tax revenues, and authorizes bid advertisements for a new garage at the Water Works. It condemns property at South Avenue and Baker Street, instructs the solicitor to draft an unsafe-structure ordinance, and allocates $75 for July 4th events. Wiltshire resigns as civil defense director due to business and civic duties, and the council grants three weeks of vacation for officers with ten years’ service.

House Fails Farm Bill Hopes For Feed Grain Quotas
The House rejected a farm bill imposing mandatory acreage reductions and national marketing quotas for feed grains and wheat, a move the Senate had eyed. President Kennedy’s administration pushed the bill but faced opposition from House Agriculture Committee chair Harold Cooley and party leaders, with Democrats blaming the setback on political maneuvering in Washington. The defeat signals a return to the 1958 act and could influence debates on tax reform, trade revisions, and elder care, while highlighting McCormack’s new leadership challenges.
