The two candidates for Mary
lands 9th district congressional
seat yesterday appeared at a
Bethesda Kiwanis Club luncheon
and spared briefly over the is
sue of Federal control of natural

luncheon attended by rs XII
wanians in the Brook Farm Res
taurant, 1701 Brookville road,

clared that unregulated gas pric-
ing at the source would dis
rupt the whole gas utility" and

The name of Halloween is OF
Christian origin, marking the
eve of All Hallows or All Saints
day, but the mystic rites with
which the occasion is associated
began with the Druids long
before the Christian era.
The Druids, a European re-

honor The early Christian

about 100 yards from the burned

The owner at that time. he
said, was his grandfather.

Plane ExpIodes,
Falls in Swamp

PUBLIC LANDING, Md, Oct.
81 (P.-An airplane believed to
be from the Marine airbase at
Edenton, N. c., crashed in a
swamp about a mile south of
this lower Eastern Shore village
last night and exploded.
There was no official report
from the Navy rescue squad
which went to the scene or from
the Marines as to the type of
plane or number of persons in
it. However, a State trooper told
"a newsman that workers found
maintenance records of the plane
which indicated it was an "AD6,"
a single-engined, two-place craft:
Robert Barr, a chicken farmer,
said the plane was flying low
when it crashed, then exploded
with a loud roar and a flash that
lit up the sky.

Star Stah Correspondent

RICHMOND, Oct. 31.-A
Recommendation has been made
by the Virginia School Boards
Association that could mean a
possible saving of millions of
dollars to the rapidly expanding
Washington suburban area.
Members of the association.
which ended it's annual session
here yesterday, unanimously
recommended a revision of the
State school building code to
eliminate unnecessary expendi-
lures without sacrifice to the
safety of students and facilities
Essential to classroom instruc-
Ition."
At the same time, the board
went on record in favor of a
State sales tax "in order to in
Grease revenue available for the
support and expansion of the
public school system" 1t asked
that a major portion of the
revenue provided by the sales tax
be earmarked for public educa-
Ition.
| The association also asked an
increase in the minimum salary
for teachers, and requested that
the major portion of the minimum
salary requirements be assumed
by the State. The association
did not include a specific amount
in its recommendation in order
that it might see what addi-
tional tax sources are to be
tapped before setting a minimum
figure.
A Northern Virginia spokes-
man said after the meeting that
of the approximately $4,000
square feet of floor space in a
20-room e entary school,
about $4,000 square feet is nom
Institutional space.
The State building code re-
quires, for instance. a specified
number of square feet for
clinics, libraries, offices and
other facilities. If music in
Istruction is to be offered. these
rooms must have a definite
square footage.
In Northern Virginia the
square foot cost of school con-
struction is about $13. BY elm
mating or reducing the square
footage of some noninstruc-
tional areas. many thousands of
dollars could be saved on each
school building.
Lot Requirements
! The school building code also
requires the size of the school
lot to be a minimum of 5 acres
for elementary schools and 10
for high schools. For every 100
pupils, the size must be increased
II acre. A 600-pupil elementary
school requires II acres, and a
l .200-capacity high school re-
quires 90 acres.
In Fairfax County, the fastest
growing county in the State, the
cost of land in the populous
areas where the schools are
needed has been averaging from
$4,000 to $4,000 an acre. It is
higher in Alexandria and Airing
ton.
/ The association took no formal
action on legislation passed by
the recent General Assembly to
maintain segregation, but the
Legislative committee reported
that it has been actively sup
