Deep Run Hunt Cup;
Only 7 Of 5 Finish
BY The Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va, April To-

old bay gelding piloted by it's
owner. Charles w. Sitter of

runaway today of spill-infested

Warrior Gay. the favored en-
try. and Richard S. Reynolds
Forest Hare, who struggled in
second. were the only finishefs of
the field of five in the tough
three-mile chase over 10 post and
rail fences.
Forest Hare was making a
stirring battle of it until mis-
fortune struck at the 18th fence.
There. Rider Stewart Felvey fell
when his saddle slipped. Felvey
remounted but was far behind
at the wire.
OF the other entries starting
the steeplechase classic at
Strawberry Hill, Charles C.

the fifth fence; Mrs. William S.
Jenkins Kaiser's Rose, who had
been co-favored, pulled up after

Warrior Gays time for the
race was an unspec tacul a r

Forest Hare psf the ninth fence
and then stepped into the lead
for keeps. Felvey closed the gap
somewhat with Shorty's Son also
gaining going into the fatal 18th.
But from then on it was a breeze.
The frequent spills of the
sunny afternoon started in the
first race, the Broad Rock, a

when Mrs. Ohrstrom's Beale
Street veered into the rail sid

Stroyed. The horse, a 6-year-
old bay gelding, had been pur-
chased only yesterday by the
Ohrstroms from Howell Jackson

ties. described him as "the mas
ter of expression of nothing

ish the sales tax and reduce the

Fairfax Board Sends
Bond Resolution 10
Court in Next Step

Sale Of a SO million sewer
construction bond issue in Fair
fax County moved a step closer
today. as the official bond reso-
luton was forwarded to the Cir
cult Court.
Under legislation passed at
the last session of the General
Assembly the resolution must
remain on file in the Circuit
Court for 80 days in case any
one chooses to challenge the
bond sale. The county is free
to sell the bonds after the wait
ing period expires.
Unanimous Vote.
The 97-page bond resolution
was adopted by unanimous vote
of the Board of County Super
visors yesterday. The $40 million
in bonds to be sold represent
the first half of a $40 million
issue approved in a county wide
referendum. The entire $40 mil
lion program is planned over a
f1ve-year period and the county
proposes to sell the rest of the
authorized bond issue as the
construction program requires it.
Projects planned with the first
$40 million cover so miles of
new sewers, three new treatment
plants, and acquisition of ITO
miles of existing sewers. More
than 160 miles of the existing
sewers to be acquired are the
facilities of sanitary district
No. 1, which will be taken over
by the county and incorporated
in the new integrated system.
Expect Funds in August.
County officials said the $40
million issue will be the largest
single sale of bonds ever offered
in the county at one time. Bids
are expected the first week in
July, and proceeds of the sale
are due the early part of August.
Under terms of the bond reso-
luton revenue type bonds are
to be issued.
The supervisors agree, in the
resolution, to pay off the bonds
with sewer service revenues, but

Hassan' S Power
Challenged in.
Arlington Suit
County Bourd Lawyer
Asks DISMISSED of
Registrars Cuse

A contention that Common
wealth's Attorney william j.
Hassan lacks authority to chal-
lenge the right Of the Arlington
County Board to-, abolish the
ofiicey Of 81 election registrars
was made in the County Circuit
Court today.
Oren r. Lewis, a special coun-
sci for the County Board ad-
vanced the argument before
Judge Walter T. Mccarthy as
he moved to dismiss Mr.. Hassan's S
suit.
Mr.. Hassan, who normally is
the legal adviser to the County
Board, is challenging an action
by the governing body on March
20 to abolish the posts Of the
county's 81 precinct registrars.
Mr.. Hassan. as legal adviser to
the board, disapproved the ac-
tion and was sustained in this
view by State Attorney General
j. Lindsay Almond. jr.
Initiated by G. O. p.
The dispute has assumed a po-
litical flavor. About 80 of the
registrars are Democrats. The
fight began last February when
Ralph M. Kimble, the Republi-
can member of the three-man
electoral board. said the regis
trar system is outdated and in

Republicans on the County
Board were Joined by the chair

Controversy Defined.
"The controversy, if one there
be, is between the Common
wealth's Attorney and the
County Board and the Common
wealth's Attorney and the Elec-
toral Board" said Mr.. Lewis.
He said Mr.. HaSSan's respon-
sibility is to represent the Coun-
ty Board and therefore the Cir
cult Court is without jurisdic-
ton because there is no dis
pute between the county and its
governing body.
Mr.. Hassan was to reply to
these arguments later in the
day.
