Russell Runyon. the colorful
Arlington detective sergeant

demanded that the county
manager and police chief be
fired. will return to work to-
morrow for the men he tried
to oust.
The county board of retire
ment has ordered that the 40
year-old detective be reinstated
in the police division.
Mr.. Runyon has received a
disability pension since Febru-
ary of 1858 as a result of a
back injury.
Ran for Office
Twice since his retirement, he
campaigned for election to the
county board on a platform
which primarily accused Coun-
ty Manager A. T. Lundberg and
Police Superintendent William
FawVer of incompetence.
During his unsuccessful cam
paigns, he insisted that the
county administration should
be overhauled.
Maj. Fawver explained today
that county retirement rules
require that anyone receiving
a disability pension must un-
dergo an annual physical ex-
animation. The latest medical
examination Of Mr.. Runyon
disclosed that he now suffers
from no disability which would
prevent his performance of
duty.
Maj. Fawver said he had no
further comment about the
reinstatement.

County Board imposed tight re-
strictions upon use of offleial

The initial operational range
will be 1880 miles. Testing has

Johnson looked forward to the
battles ahead.

at the messages long and hard
and make his move. At times
you catch the name, Ken

The mail is heavy. One let
ter, from a well-known COL
umnist. probably pleased the
Senator. 1t compared his de-
cision to accept the Democratic
nomination for Vice President
to Robert E. Lees decision for
the South 100 years ago.
If the Senator is not doing
something, he seems to be try
ing to think of something to do.
Outside, there is a vast peace
over the ranch. Cattle move
slowly. A lazy river drifts by.
No one is in sight.

In this pastoral setting of
oak trees and range, of river
and cattle, it is difficult for the
visitor to- form an image of the
powerful and effective majority
leader of the Senate.
While I never had met the
Senator, the stories about him
indicated he branded every
thing within his reach with
the initials "LBJ"-even, some
said, the Senate of the United
States.
The last time I had observed
the Senator was at the Demo-
cratic Convention in Los An
geles. He appeared humble,
apologetic - even nervous - as
he surprisingly accepted the
role of second man on the
ticket.
Then he had said "LBJ"

Headaches for AirIines

ber 8 to 5 am. September 10
(PDT).
The complaints. which likely
could be documented with pas
Senger traffic figures, contend
that staging the exercise dur
ing the same hours on Sunday
would affect fewer travellers.
1t is true that the hours Sc
lected are the period of least
traffic. Estimates have been
made by the Federal Aviation
Agency that, in the six-hour
period, there normally would
be 1000 flights over the United
States by commercial airliners
carrying almost 10000 persons;
700 general aviation (private
and business) and TOO military
flights.
The FAA says there are nor
mally 81 international opera
tions during the six hours,
either departing or arriving.
A New Problem
The airlines have no expert
ence or pattern to cope with
such scheduling problems as
the September 10 operation
will entail. 1t hasn't been done
before.
At weeks end, after receiving
notice only last Monday, in
dividual lines were deep in
plans. These likely will be
pooled and compared and some
general pattern developed.
No concrete plan is expected
to evolve for at least a week or
10 days on the basis of which
air travellers questions can be
answered.
The ATA suggested only the
individual airline will be able
to inform the passenger what
the six-hour grounding will do
to his plans.
National Airport's traffic, for
instance, is at it's lowest ebb
during those six hours and with
