Forgy is critical of the city school system and charges that a 1968 study by the University of Tennessee has been gathering dust while Langford and "his advisers" have been placing the community in a posture of resistance to federal law by continuing legal maneuver that have kept the school desegregation suit in U.S. Courts for more than eight years. Forgy also charges that the city school system has neglected vocational education by over-emphasizing a curriculum designed to sever the college bound students. Election Tied To School Board Issue Forgy's main campaign theme has been the independent school board issue and he contends that the June 1 election will serve as a referendum on that question.

If he is elected, Forgy argues, it will be an endorsement of his school board proposal. If he loses, it would be an indication that the voters prefer the present arrangement where the City Commission acts in a dual capacity as the school board. While Langford does not concede this point, it does add an interesting dimension to the election. Forgy denies any affiliation with other candidates as have all others on the June 1 ballot but a pattern of support has developed which has aligned most of his backers with Mayor Conger. If At First You Don't Succeed Madison County Board of Education hasn't given up in its heretofore unsuccessful efforts to get money from the County Court to buy school buses.

A special committee of four school board members, Supt. James L. Walker and transportation supervisor J. T. Bryan was appointed Tuesday by School Board Chairman Bill Ross to recommend the next step to be taken in the endless school bus matter.

The County Court, for the sixth time, rejected at its May 17 meeting a school board request for funds to buy equipment needed to replace outdated vehicles. Ross said the committee would study the possible alternatives in the event that money is not forthcoming for the eight new buses needed for the fall term. The panel will consider the effect of the diminishing bus fleet on the federal court order to provide transportation to all students who live at least one-fourth mile from school. One remote possibility, the chairman said, would be to disband the transportation system. Board member Lester Hughes, in proposing the committee study, said the report should not be construed as an ultimatum to the County Court.

"We just want them to know what we are going to be forced to do if they don't provide the funds," he explained. Sunt. Walker said five or six routes will have to be consolidated if new eauioment is not obtained by this fall. "In general, it is much more expensive to maintain the old buses and it is much more likely that we will have mechanical breakdowns." State law provides that buses must be retired from use after the eauinraent becomes 10 vears old. Serving with Sunt.

Radio Poll Ends In Landslide A voter preference poll conducted Tuesday by WDXI Radio turned out to be a landslide for mayor candidate George Smith and Commissioners Ben Langford and Tobe Bailey.

Smith piled up 44 per cent of the votes in the poll sponsored by Rainey Furniture with Mayor Bob Conger barely ahead of former police lieutenant Roy B. Morgan, 17 per cent to 16 per cent. Glenn Rainey, the sponsor, said 23 per cent of those polled were either undecided or declined to express a preference. The biggest margin came in the race for Commissioner of Education, Parks and Recreation where incumbent Ben Langford piled up a 7-1 margin over challenger Henry 0. Forgy Jr.

Langford received 70 per cent of the vote to Forgy's 10 per cent, with 20 per cent listed as undecided. Streets Commissioner Tobe Bailey had an equally comfortable lead over Magistrate David Carter, carrying the poll 60 per cent to 11 per cent. The undecided vote in this race amounted to 29 per cent, Rainey reported. Previous polls conducted by the radio station have predicted unerringly the local outcome in elections. Mask Appointment Confirmed As reported in this column Monday, Jacksonian John C.

Mask has been appointed by Gov. Winfield Dunn as director of veterans affairs. Governor Dunn announced the appointment today along with the selection of Brig. Gen. William C.

Smith of Memphis as adjutant general to succeed Maj. Gen. Hugh Mott of Nashville. Mask, office manager at American Olean Tile will resign his position and move to Nashville. His wife is a teacher at Old Hickory Academy and formerly taught in the Jackson public schools.

Mask will replace Joe Hudgins, a Cookevill Democrat, in Dunn's cabinet. Smith, base detachment commander of the Tennessee Air National Guard, is a command pilot with more than 9,000 hours flying experience. Law Requires Tax Rate Disclosure Property Assessor Neill Bivens pointed out today that state law requires local governments to disclose the effective property tax rates in setting new rates based on increased assessments. The "effective rate" is determined by applying the actual rate to the ratio of assessments. For example, a $2 property tax rate on property assessed at 35 per cent of actual value would be an effective rate of 70 cents.

Bivens says Madison County would raise the same amount of money this year through property taxes with a $2.40 rate as it did in 1970 with a $2.83 rate. Jackson's rate this year should be $1.81 to produce the same revenue, he said. nificent games as Farmer mix Pulliam who pounded out two FN ed his curves and fast balls and struck out 21 batters in his 10- singles. inning performance.
