James R. Tormey, county superintendent of schools, proved that the board is not independent but aepends on Tormey to speak it.

Tormey asserted in the statement that the Rafferty slate had been spreading "untruths" about the school situation in the county "I did not see that statement until it came out," Mrs. Cadigan the board chairman, declared "Mr. Tormey is elected and had a right to make the statement if he wanted to." And Needham had somefhii to say about the charge by David N. Keyston, a member Df the siticn slate, that Tormey's statement was a "smear. Keyston thinks he is running against Tormey.

Needham said. He had better direct his fire at me." Needham said the use of the world "smear" is "the oldest political maneuver when wounded." Stittcment The incumbents issued this joint statement: "Faced with a sclf styied 'slate' of candidates, which has ruthlessly attacked the educational pro gram carried on ir. the elemen i tary schools of the county, the present board members, now up lor election, have united. "In the interests of all the children in the schools of San Mateo county, and of the local school districts, the incumbent mem 1 bers of the county board have reluctantly concluded that Ciey cannot, eTs in past elections, run as individuals.

We arc teach ing the basic fundamentals the iree Rs. geography, history, ivies, phonics, etc. "Disagreement between the two groups ot candidates seems rest on the one hand on a lack of information of what is being done in the schools of the: county, and on the other, a lac of understanding of the duties of the county board and this county board in particular.

"The. philosophy of the San Mateo county board, since its inception as an elected lay board in 1956, has been that the local school district is the most important unit in the educational and that the county board's duty is to strengthen the local district where the actual education takas place. It is the board's policy to keep politics out of the schools and not to dictate to the local boards."

David N. Keyston, who charged hat James R. Tormey. county superintendent of schools, had undertaken a "smear" campaign against the slate. "The efforts of Mr.

Tormey in setting himself up as a 'one man truth said Mrs. Lois Notaro of San Mateo, a candi date in Area 4. "and his insinua tions of 'untruths' only confirms my opinion that he is actually the 'spokesman for his appoin 'five, rubber stamp board. "He also comments that he is 'loath' to become involved in this campaign. If so, then we would, appreciate it if he would let the incumbents speak tfor themselves.

Mrs. Notaro charged that Tormey and his educational philoso phy were rejected at last year when he, although 'on opposed, failed to get a majority of the votes cast Mrs. Edythe M.

Dr. Frank R. Arnold of Portola Valley, the opposition candidate in Area 7, added these remarks: "While the statements attributed to Mr.

Tormey imply that untruths have appeared in the oppo sition candidates' statements and that he has already commenced to constitute himself a one man truth neither has occurred. for one, will welcome Mr. Tor mey to the ranks of those who want the public to know the truth. This position can be mighty lonely one at times."
