reported to have a net increase over
Governor William Preston Lane of
81 votes although both the candidates
have lost in the frequent challenges

The official tally will be changed
somewhat but just what the total
figures will be will not be known until

Martin K Miller, Baltimore; Clarence
Lippell, Cumberland, and Stuart F.
Hamill, Jr., Oakland; along with
Francis w. Bush, secretary to Mr..
Mahoney. On the Lane side were Will
lis r. Jones, Baltimore, and William
r. Offutt, Oakland. On Tuesday af-
ternoon they called for further legal

taking place frequently with many
ballots being disputed because of al
legged illegal markings. The magnify
ing glasses were eliminated on We'd
nesday.
Meanwhile recounts are also under
way in Wicomico, Anne Arundel and
Carroll counties. If Mahoney, who lost
all four to Lane by close tallies can
pick up the unit votes in any two, he
would win the nomination.
Under the present system he lost
the primary to Lane, although Ma
honey led Lane in the popular vote
totals. Lane will have "a convention
votes to GO for Mahoney.
Mahoney officially filed for re-
count in this county just as the cleo
ton supervisors were completing

Agreement ENDS
SCHOOL STRIKE:
CASE POSTPONED
Agreement Reached In Circuit
Court Yesterday After
Conference

Children of Kitzmiler, Vindex, and
Shallmar were in their schools today,
under terms of an agreement reached
in the Circuit Court at Oakland
yesterday, bringing to an abrupt end
the school strike that had continued
since the opening day on September
6.
The case against DR.. Ralph Calan-
drella, Carl Schell, Earl Shank,
Charles Mcintyre, Frank Damon and
Kenneth Bray, who were indicted by
the September Term Grand Jury on
charges of Conspiracy" in Inducing
or attempting to induce a large num-
Der of children of school age in the
Kitzmiller area to absent themselves
unlawfully from school," was indefi-
nitely postponed under certain ar
rangements.
The arrangements were completed
prior to the scheduled court trial
yesterday morning by school board
officials, States Attorney W. Dwight
Slower, Associate Judge George Hen
derson, and w. Earle Cooley, of Cum
berland, attorney for the Kitzmiller
committee.
The defendants, through their at
torney, while not admitting their
guilt under the conspiracy Indictment,
agreed to advise parents and pupils
of the outcome and to advise the
pupils to return to school at once, be-
ginning this morning.
The School Board agreed that Ger
tain improvements would be made at
the Kitzmiller school right away, and
an inspection trip was made of the
school yesterday with both sides
represented and in company with
Judge Henderson.
Following the inspection trip
yesterday some minor repairs were
recommended and work on these be-
gan today. They included some brick
work, repair of electrical outlets, and
stopping some leaks which are also a
problem in other schools of the coun-
ty, it was pointed out.
In a statement before the crowded
courtroom yesterday morning Judge
Henderson pointed out that it was
particularly necessary that school
is necessary that there be at least $50
days of the school term, in order to
be eligible for state equalization funds
set up by State school laws. Any fur
ther delay, he also pointed out,
would affect the right of the children
to promotion of the pupils involved.
He asserted that the permanent
building plan which called for con-
struction of two new high schools,
was not in the hands of the Board of
Education, due to the 1947 law, but
was entirely in the hands of the
County Commissioners and the Adj
visory Board named in the bill. He
made it clear that it was useless to
discuss the permanent plan with the
Board of Education.
He stressed the urgency of having
the children in school today so that
there would be no loss to the county
and no loss of opportunity for the
children to advance in their learning.
Officially the case is marked on the
Court Docket as "stet" which means
an "indefinite postponement," but
| which could be re-opened if the Kitz-
miller committee fails to carry out
Judge Henderson's orders.
Around three hundred school chill
dren were involved in the Kitzmiller
school. Only handful had been at
tending classes since the opening day
of school.
