The 100 union drivers and shop
mechanics are sticking to their
demands that all strikers be re-
turned to their jobs on the basis Of
an agreement which. they said. the
management has repudiated. Mr..
Altman and the union recently
agreed to settle the strike on the
basis of a 10-cent-an-hour pay
raise. Mr.. Penrod and the man
agement also agreed to accept all
strikers who reported back on Oe-

The strikers reported for work
but walked out again after Mr..
Altman, they said, accused five
of their number of vandalism and
refused to take them back. This

Fairfax Schools May Get Bulk
.OfExpected 81 Million Surplus

A member Of the Fairfax County
Board of Supervisors predicted
last night that the School Board
will be allowed to spend most OF
81 million surplus anticipated
from taxes this year.
Arthur I. Shaffer, who is the
Democratic candidate for re-elec-
ton to the supervisors from Mount
Vernon district, told a joint meet
ing of the Belle Haven and New
Alexandria Citizens Association
he thought the School Board
would ask for permission to spenc
the surplus. and he thought the
supervisors would grant it.
His statement was in reply to q
question directed at both Mr.
'Shaffer and his Republican op.
ponent, Harris T. Richards.
Mr.. Richards agreed with Mr.
Shaffer that the surplus should be
used for schools.
Major Campaign Issue.
The 81 million surplus has be.
come a major issue Of the current
election campaign. The super.
visors have been asked by some
groups to impound the surplus 81
taxes can be reduced next year
Other groups are equally insistent
that the money be used fol

they will act on requests for ust

Mr.. Rolfe's show is put on in

looks like the platform of a ma
tional convention. The cattle are
led around below under spotlights
in something that looks like the
squared circle for a prize fight
The public sits on benches that
rise from the square on three
sides. More than 200 cars were
counted outside, and it is esti-
mated that the attendance was
more than 600.
For the most part, the beef cat
tie breeders attending wore light
tan modified Texan hats. One
6-foot-5 young man from Balti-
more County wore a cowboy hat
and cowboy boots, but he looked
singularly out of place.

To Keep Open Minds
About Candidates
BY the Asseeietsd Press

BALTIMORE, Oct. 80. - Gov.
McKeldin, who considers himself
pretty good vice presidential tim
ber, wants Maryland Republicans
to keep an open mind about back
ing candidates for the Nations top
posts.
The Governor said yesterday
that we can best serve our party
and our country by keeping open
minds on the several aspirants for
the Presidency and the Vice
Presidency until we know great
deal more about their thinking.
There will be plenty of time for
Iactive campaigning, he suggested.
between the Republican Conven-
Ition next summer and the Novem-
ber elections.
Gov. McKeldin sounded this
note of caution in a speech before
la convention of the Maryland Fed
Grafton of Republican Women. In
its windup today, the federation
was to elect officers and hear an
address by Representative Deve-
jreux, Republican, of Maryland.
Among Gov. McKeldin's favor
ite targets are Democratic spend
ing policies and "paternalism" in
Washington. But. he said, the
G. o. P. doesn't need candidate
now to push the attack. He added
"All this can be fought now, as
well as other governmental abuses
without our picking a candidate
at this stage of the fight"
Gov. McKeldin also told the
Republican women that since his
election he kept his promise to
raise the sales tax minimum to
so cents.
The Governor said that Mary
lands civil defense program has
been adopted almost in toto" as
a model plan by the Federal Gov
Iernment.
