members in Tuesdays election.
said that even If they are out
voted they win be able to give
articulation to the conscience OF
the county On the new board,
to be organized January |, the
new members will join three
holdovers.
Mr.. Krupsaw said the county
was j more exciting place to live
N before the AIM group, took
control IN 1852. A major CAM
paign issue was the County
Boards alleged lack Of co-opera-
ton with school authorities.
To Seek Transcripts
Both Mr.. Krupsaw and Mr..
Kaul declared they win urge the
renewal Of verbatim transcripts
Of county board meetings. They
said they are anxious to have
county citizens know more about
governmental operations and par
ticipate III planning activities.
Mr.. Kaul also stated 1T was

gram" He said that he and Mr..
Krupsaw win support kindergar-

The remaining board seats are
occupied By Mrs. Leone Buch-
holz and George NJ. Rowzee. jr.,

Mr.. Rowzee was elected as q Re-
publican.
Cooper Feels Neutral
Mr.. Cooper, commenting to-
dav ON his pivotal position on
the board, stated he does not
consider himself allied TO one

The retiring board members
are Robert Al. Peck, Republican
an AIM leader. and Alvin r.
Kinel, Democrat, elected on an
AIM slate but not active In that
group recently. Neither was q
candidate for reelection.
Another project the two new
board members viii favor, ac-
cording to Mr.. Kaul, Is q plan to
boost retail trade in Arlington
by increasing the number Of on
street parking spaces.
Mr.. Kaul said Arlington Is
about $40 million behind In re-
tail trade volume as predicted in
