Student in Fairway Mayor Race
By JEFFREY STINSON

Dale Berlau, Shawne Mission senior, is conducting what he calls a one-issue candidacy for a suburban community in Johnson County.
"There is only one issue in the campaign," Berlau said recently, "and that is the need for more parks and recreational facilities."
Fairway has a population of about 5,000 and an area of about one square mile.
Berna, a 21-year-old journalism major,
he expected to win the April 3 election on
Monday.
Berlaud said that he became interested in the office when he heard a rumor that a new city hall was to be constructed in the only existing city park.
"When I heard the rumor, I decided to against the bond," he said. "A new city where the kids are younger kids moving into the neighborhood, basketball courts and tennis courts are needed for them. You can put a building anywhere, but it is not so easy to build new ones."
Berlau is having fun campaigning, he said.
"The incumbent has been in office for ten years and no one would run against him. I will vote for him."
"I've been on one cocktail apery and I
will be club new club new week. I'm
meeting a job of my own."
One does not have to be rich to seek political office, Berlau said.
"I paid my fee to put my name on the ballot, but most of my campaign has been by word of mouth, I did send some fliers around last week," he said.
Currency Float
News Briefs By the Associated Press Gaullists Win
PARIS-Although a Gaillac-led coalition retained control of the French government for another five years, a strong surge of voter support for the Socialist-Communist Gaillac movement was established by National Assembly strength of the Gaillacs. The Gaillacs have been in power with their allies since 1958. Official returns from 483 of the 490 electoral districts gave Gaillac a majority in the national commissaries, 73; the Socialists, 89; the central reform movement, 28; and others 21.
BRUSSELS-SI-6 of the nine European Common Market nations have decided to float their currencies jointly against the U.S. dollar and the money of other nations, a British spokesman said early Monday. Sources at the second Sunday conference of Common Market finance ministers on the day old monetary crisis said the six countries had agreed to open Germany, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Denmark—the Common Market members with the stronger currencies.
Police Security
LONDON- Police of several cities in the British Isles were reported Sunday to be tightening their security cooperation as a precaution against further terrorist bombings, and the security headquarters of London, Dublin and Belfast was stepped up following bomb blasts Thursday in London that killed one man and injured more than 200. London's bakeries and Glasgow also got involved after explosions there over the weekend.
Election
BUENOS AIRES—Juan Peron's hand-picked candidate picked up the most votes in Sunday's presidential election but apparently not enough to avoid a runoff contest. Hector J. Campura, the 64-year-old Argentine strongman, had received 39 per cent of the total vote with nearly 10,000 of 5,580 precincts counted.
If Berlin is elected, he will take office in May. He said his responsibilities in office would be to decide with the eight members of the city council how to use Fairway's sharing money. He would also act as figurehead of the city and handle complaints.
Berlau said he expected to spend about $30.
He said he expected to spend "a couple of hours a day at the job." The office was non-salaried and he said he used this fact as an excuse for taking a stretching the position in a serious manner.
"I would have to find another job, plus be mayor, and forget about my future for a while to live in the city for the next four years," he said.
"I am not going to use the mayorship of Fairway as a steppingstone to bigger and better things," Berlau said.
Berlau said that he was a homeowner representative in junior high school and that he had been manager of Fairway's swimming pool.
"My opponent told me that I can have my pool job back next summer if I don't win the tournament."
He said he would have to wait until he knew the outcome of the election to decide who to vote for.
When the mother of one of Berluas's friends heard that he was running for the office, she said, "You wait, one of these days he'll be in the Senate."
