$29 MILLION ISSUE
Bonds Neededt
Foirfox School Need

Committee are calculated to in
crease public interest In the
bond referendum.
The schools face the tradi-
tional problem Of bond cam
paigns-the fewer people who
vote, the greater chance there
is that the bonds will not be
approved. The experience In
Fairfax has been that those OPP
posed to a bond issue benefit
from q small vote.
The year-long controversy
over construction quality in the
county's schools may affect the
vote, but how much and which
way is anybody's guess.
Urges Tighter Control
The School Board hopes that
the questions raised last June
by discharged Construction Su-
pervisor Thomas @. Dodd were
answered by an engineering re-
port released hast week. The
boards comment On the report
said that the county had re-
ceived its moneys worth from
school construction funds.
However, the Washington
firm Of Mills. Petticord & Mills,
which made the engineering
survey, suggested that perhaps
the county had gone too far in
cutting construction costs. 1t
said that a tighter control of
the quality Of construction ma
terials and more rigid inspec-
tions might reduce the long
term maintenance costs.
Under present costs, the
bond issue win pay for SIC

No one in the county school
system proposes handling the
enrolment increase by making
classes larger, as the Fairfax
County Taxpayers Alliance is
recommending.
The alliance is one Of the
few citizens groups which has
not urged approval Of the
bonds. At q stormy meeting
last week alliance members
voted not to oppose the bond
issue.

The

Of Pickles
BY JOHN McKELWAY

The mail has just brought
some unsolicited yet fasci-

sherry, dandelions and

Of most Of the items. The

such organizations as the

Association, the Spanish
Sherry Institute and the Ma

know of nothing more COM

pickle, brought up trout-like
from the sparkling depths of
that aromatic jar below
stairs in Aunt Sally's cellar"
There are individuals who
fry dandelion blossoms. Some
have even eaten the fried
dandenon blossoms. They
say they taste like fried
mushrooms.
Wine tasters in Spain do
not drink sherry to test it.
They smell it.
One Of the earliest pickle
dealers was the explorer
Americus Vespucius. He sold
pickles in Seville and prob
ably slipped Spanish sherry

lions in his back yard,

OF the United States Attorneys
Office and escape the jury
imposed death penalty.
The penalty for second-de-
gree murder is 20 years to- life
imprisonment.
Stewart has been tried five
times and convicted four times
for the 1853 murder Of Harry
Honikman, a grocer. The first
three convictions were upset by
the United States Court Of APP
peals.
Stewart was convicted for
the fourth time last November
and the jury brought back q
binding recommendation Of
death. The United States At
torney's Office had not asked
for the death sentence during
the trial.
Motion Denied
The United States Court of
Appeals, in an order handed
down Friday. denied Stewards
motion to remand the case back
to the trial judge, Alexander
Holtzoff of the United States
District Court. However, the
order said Stewart was free to
take any other action In the
District Court (which he deems
appropriate"
In papers filed by his at
torney, Robert F. Martin, Stew
art said the action he wishes to
take Is to ask for o quashing
of the conviction and death
sentence and to plead guilty to
second-degree murder.
The papers also note that

his office would accept the
second-degree murder plea. Mr.
Acheson said he could make
no further comment because
the case is still in the courts
Cases Grow Longer
However, it was learned from
a lawyer close to the Govern
ment's case that the Govern
ment's prime interest is to
reach a final disposition Of the
case, which has been in the
courts since 1858.
The attorney also said that
there Is a feeling that the
length Of time the case has
been in the courts has drawn
increasing criticism of the ju-
dicial process and that the 10
year wait for disposition has
become a symbol Of Illustration
of justice.
The lawyer also pointed out
that the jury brought in the
death sentence despite the Gov.
ernment's request for life i'm.
prisonment.
The most important thing
the lawyer said, is to achieve
certainty of punishment and Il
make sure that Stewart woulc
not be freed by another rever'
sal. He pointed out that the
Court Of Appeals had reversed
twice and the United States
Supreme Court once because o.
errors in the trials.
He noted that the longer the
trial the more chance there Il
for error. and that the appellate
courts take a very close look al
trial proceedings when thu
