Two of CastrO's
 Prisoner Envoys Decide Not to Return to Cuba

MIAMI, Fla. LR Two of Fidel Castro's 10 prisoner-envoys decided Saturday not to return to Cuba. They said they want to stay and fight Castro again.
 But others who participated in the Bay of Pigs invasion, in which 1,197 men were captured, have volunteered to take their place, said Gustavo Garcia Montes, spokesman for the prisoner group.
 Garcia Montes said he and seven other prisoners plan to return as scheduled.
 Mirto Collazo and Reynaldo charged Castro with reneging on his offer to free fellow prisoners for tractors, and said they want ed to remain so they could fight him again.
 ''We came to the United States to obtain freedom for our pri- soner companions, said Collazo in an interview. "We tried to get enough tractors for that. We did not succeed.
 "So, if there were not tractors, we believe there must be bullets. We are remaining with the in- tention of continuing the fight against despot Fidel Castro"
 Pico declared: "Fidel Castro is fraud. and what he wants is to spare for time, delay any armed action. He never fulfills any pact, and goes from contradiction to contradiction. We do not want to continue lending ourselves to such a nefarious aim.
 "We believe our companions and all political prisoners in Cuba must be freed in some way. To do that, we are ready to risk our lives again under any circum- stances"

2nd All-Star Game Rained Out in 1-1 Tie

BOSTON tR - Stu Miller of the San Francisco Giants and Ca milo Pasqual of the Minnesota Twins were locked in II strikeout b { tie when rain brought an end to today's second 1861 All-Star game after nine innings. It goes into the books as a tie
 Miller, the National Leagues winning pitcher of 5-4 battle in 10 innings in windy Candlestick Park at San Francisco on July Il, struck out five of the 10 men he faced in a brilliant one-hit three-inning chore. Pasqual fan ned four in his three hitless in- nings and walked only one man.
 None of the 30 previous All-Star games had ended in tie although the 1852 game in Philadelphia was rained out after five innings with the Nationals 3-2 Winnes
 The game started in bright sun shine in 70 degree weather but dark clouds rolled over FenWay Park in the middle innings and the lights were turned on at the start of the seventh. It started to rain in the eighth, forcing the boxseat customers of the crowd of 31,851, paying a net of $172,- 298.19, to rush for cover.

Imported Canned Crabmeat

There was considerable fear while back that a Treasury de- cision to allow canned crabmeat from Russia to be imported would endanger the domestic crab in dustry, especially Alaska king crab.
 Sen. Gruening reports the first invitation to buy Soviet crab on June 30 quoted a price of $23 3.52 per case at New York City. Cases of the same size of fancy Alaska king crab were being offered there on the same date at $17.60, Gruening was told.
 
 Jap Halibut Catch Lower
 Sen. E. L. Bartlett was told by the Bureau of Commercial Fish cries that new information indi- cates the 1861 Japanese halibut catch in the North Pacific will be considerably below the unof- fiial estimate of 46,253 tons.
 Bartlett said the U. S. Embassy at Tokyo reported 20 Japanese memberships" operating for hali but and other species compared with four such ships in 1860.
 On July 19 this year, the total Japanese halibut catch was re- ported at 5,950 tons and, Bart lett said, the unofficial estimate of the 1861 catch is now placed at about 10000 tons.

Virginia School Heads
Urqe Fund Revisions

A committee Of Virginia
school superintendents yester-
day proposed distributing three
State education funds under
revised formulas that would
place a premium on local reve-
nue. effort.
Their report is aimed at cor
recting what some have long
considered inequities in State
education appropriations, espe-
cially in the field of reward for
local effort.
The Superintendents suggest
ed merging the Salary Equali-
zation Fund with the Minimum
Education Fund. The Basic
Appropriation Fund would be
left unchanged. The three
funds now total more than
$9l.1 million, more than 85
per cent Of the State money
now available to localities.
School finances of every Vir-
ginia locality would be affected
in some way if all of the pro-
poSals are included in the State
Board Of Education's 1962-64
budget to be adopted by the
General Assembly.
For a maximum OF four years,
no locality would lose money.
A limit would be placed on
gains. The Board of Educa-
tion's budget requests will be
placed before Gov. Almond and
his budget advisors September
IA, the third day of State De-
partmental budget request hear
ings in Richmond.
A dollarS-and-cents estimate
Of the cost Of the new formulae
was unavailable, the Associated
Press reported. DR.. Woodrow
w. Wilkerson, State school
superintendent, said the gen
eral principles of the formulae
were considered in the prepara-
ton of the budget requests"
In its report, the committee
said it wanted to emphasize
that no formula has been
found that will guarantee that
each county and city will re-
ceive the same amount under
a new formula as they have
received under existing formu-
las"
One major change from the
present formula would be a
in the number of
pupils for each State-supported

teaching position. Under the
basic appropriation fund, one
teaching position would be al
lowed for each 81 pupils in
elementary schools (now 80
pupils, and one teacher for
each 90 pupils in high schools
(now % pupils).
The committee also proposed
under the Basic Appropriation
Fund that the State pay for a
flat two-thirds of teachers en-
ployed in State-aid teaching
positions, based on the State
minimum salary scale.
The current formula provides
$2.100 for 1872 for each posi-
tion filled by a teacher with
eight or more years experience.
The formula allots $2,700 for
each position filled by a teach
er with less than eight years
experience.
This is one of the inequlties
cited in the present system.
Said the report:
Actually, under the present
plan, it is possible and prob
able that a locality may employ
more experienced teachers at
higher required salary rates
and receive less State aid while
at the same time another To-
cality may employ less expert
enced teachers, pay lower sala-
ries and receive more State aid.
Even more unrealistic is the
situation where a locality re-
employees the same teachers,
pays higher salaries based on
additional teaching experience
and receives less State aid than
was received for the same
teachers the previous year.
This is creating a major prob
lem
