DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) Republican vice presidential nominee Robert Dole said he expects to do most of the Initial campaigning for the Ford-Dole ticket and wants an "aggressive campaign." Dole heads for a campaign strategy meeting with President Ford today at Ford's vacation home in Vail, after following Democratic presidential nominee Jimmy Carter halfway across the country. Dole said it was mere coincidence that he appeared in both Seattle and Iowa a day after Carter.

The Kansas senator said his meeting today and Friday morning with Ford would be their first extended discussion of how to conduct the campaign. He said in earlier talks he got the impression that he would be on the campaign trail most of the time while Ford tended to presidential duties. "I just want a chance to sit down with the President and others and talk about what strategy is planned. I think we need to carry on a very aggressive campaign," Dole said. Dole kicked off his campaign Wednesday with a speech to the American Legion National Convention in Seattle and then flew to Des Moines for an appearance at a Lawrence Welk concert at the Iowa State Fair.

Asked whether his visit to the Two resign from San Saba posts SAN SABA (SC) Two members of the San Saba County school staff resigned this morning during a meeting of the school board. Jane Hall, the assistant county school superlntendentf or the past 47 years, announced her retirement while county superintendent Billy McDoniel resigned effective Sept. 1 to take a teaching post with the San Saba Independent School District. The two positions have not yet been filled. Members of the school board hire the assistant superintendent, and county commissioners are expected to appoint a temporary superintendent until the next general election in November, when members of the school district will vote on a replacement.

The commissioners court is currently soliciting applications for the superintendent position. Under state law, a superintendent must have a valid state teaching certificate.

Dole said he might take his campaign to Carter's home state of Georgia this weekend but that no final decision has been made.

He said that if Carter is home then as he usually is on weekends that would be just another coincidence in campaign scheduling. In Seattle, Dole receivd a standing ovation from 4,000 legionnaires when he said there will be "no blanket blanket amnesty, no blanket clemency" from the Ford administration for Vietnam war deerters and draft evaders. He said there is no difference between amnesty and pardon and accused Carter of confusing the issue in his speech to the same convention a day earlier. No one attends DPW's hearing AUSTIN, Tex. (AP) No one showed up to testify or ask questions today at a Public Welfare Department hearing on enrolling procedures for registered family homes.

The department's minimum standards for such homes went into effect June 29. Approximately 20,000 such homes must register in order to continue to operate. In contrast with day care centers, registered family homes are self-regulated. To qualify, the home must care for no more than six children during school hours, not counting the children of the person keeping the home. School-age brothers and sisters of the children may be cared for in the afternoons following school, but the total number of children cannot exceed 12.

When a home is registered, the department gives It emergency medical care forms, a guide for first aid and emergency care, a fire protection check list, sanitation and safety check lists and copies of the child care licensing act and minimum standards for registered family homes.

WASHINGTON (AP) The Senate Finance Committee voted today to raise the federal tax on gasoline by one-half cent per gallon to finance a series of tax breaks for energy conservation. The additional tax, which would raise the federal levy on gasoline to 4.5 cents, would bring in about $500 million a year. The money would pay for proposed tax credits for homeowners who insulate their homes or install heat pumps, solar or geothermal heating systems.

The committee also agreed to remove those and other energy tax incentives from the catchall tax bill now being considered by a Senate-House conference committee. Instead, the provisions would be considered on their own merits in a separate conference. That could weigh against enactment of the energy-conservation taxes this year. On Wednesday, their first day of work on the massive tax revision bill, the conferees extended existing general business tax cuts while deciding to restrict tax deductions for individuals using part of their homes for business purposes. The conferees postponed votes on individual tax reductions and other major revenue matters and instead took up business and foreign income features of the bill.

As a step toward some tax simplification, the conferees approved a provision to allow taxpayers to deduct alimony payments whether or not they itemize deductions on their tax returns. Presently, this deduction is not allowed if a taxpayer uses the standard deduction. The major business tax action Involved two temporary tax cuts that the Senate had voted to make permanent. The Senate- House group decided to keep them on a temporary basis. First, they agreed to extend the present 10 per cent Investment tax credit through 1980.

The 1975 Tax Reduction Act boosted the credit to 10 per cent for all firms for 1975 and 1976 only. Colemon fund at 60 percent mark COLEMAN The campaign to raise $350,000 for financing construction on the ground floor of Overall-Morris Memorial Hospital's north wing has passed the 60 percent point. Contributions from residents of Coleman County total $210,000. Completion date for the fund drive has been set for September 3. Construction on the project is already underway and is expected to be completed by January, 1977.

The hospital has received $335,000 in grants and matching funds for the addition. Howe eyeing SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Rep. Allan T. Howe, twice convicted of soliciting sex acts for pay, says he will announce by Sept. 3 whether he will continue his campaign for re-election to Congress.

The Utah Democrat asked his constituents Wednesday to write or telephone their feelings on whether they want him to continue seeking a second term. Meanwhile, state Democratic Chairman Justin Stewart said the state party's executive committee would meet today and that Howe had been invited to attend. Stewart said the meeting was called to plan a state Democratic Central Committee meeting on Howe's candidacy, but he added that the question might be taken up today. Howe has been pressured by party officials and Democratic office holders in Utah to end his candidacy. The state Central Committee would name someone to replace Howe on the ballot if he withdraws.

Howe was convicted Tuesday in district court of soliciting sex acts from two Salt Lake police decoy prostitutes. He was sentenced to 30 days in jail which would be suspended on payment of an estimated $500 court costs. He had been convicted earlier in city court. Under Utah law, he appealed that conviction to district court. He was retried and found guilty a second time.
