Ronald Reagan's security force even though he is not a declared presidential candidate. Secretary of the Treasury Henry C.

Nixon had no comment and his aides have said Rockefeller's charges would not be answered. But Rockefeller accused Nixon of remaining silent because the former vice president's presidential strategy "depends on getting the southern vote and Mr. Wallace is cutting in on his strength." On the Democratic side, aides say Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey is concerned that Sen. Eugene J.

McCarthy might break party ranks and lead a third party if he loses the Democratic presidential nomination, McCarthy has specifically denied any such intention, saying: "I have stressed from the beginning that I had in mind to work this out within the Democratic party." The speculation by the Humphrey camp was based on Mc- Carthy's refusal to say he could support the vice president as the party's presidential nomi. nee. A leader of last winter's "Dump Johnson" movement, meanwhile, said prominent antiwar figures plan an emergency meeting in Chicago next Sunday on promoting the nomination of McCarthy or some other antiwar candidate.

BF.ACH School districts in South Carolina "must come to terms with assessment and integration issues" the C. Association of School Administrators were told here yesterday. f. E. DuBose, superintendent of Clarendon District said school superintendents are striving "just to keep the doors1 open" because of the "deplorable state" of local tax assessments.

DuBose was one of four superintendents on a panel discussing problems of local tax assessments and minimum local financial effort for schools. McBride Crout, superintendent of Batesburg-Leesville schools and president elect of S.C. Education Association, said, "South Carolina has definite problems in local tax assessment." Crout also said the assessed value per pupil ranges in the state from $615 in lowest district to 6.000 in the highest. A consultant for the administrators, Dr. James Whitlock of George Peabody College, said the people of South Carolina "have been getting a tremendous bargain locally in public services" because of relatively lew property taxes.

"They can afford a great deal more." he said. Orangeburg City Schools Superintendent W. J. Clark said that 50 per cent of the total number of buildings in his area were found to be not on the tax books, including an elaborate stables Installation forhorses which included extensive living facilities as well, and a farm to which several domiciles had been added after purchase. "Only about 50 per cent of our people make annual property returns," Clark said.

He said some delinquent taxpayers are therefore taxed on previous returns. Clark said other property that should be on tax books and not exempt under the law includes a farm given to a church and subsequently leased and city-owned public utilities providing out-of-city services. He also said some property carried on tax books as farm land was actually acquired for re-development. "There is a dire need to do something about reassessment," Clark said, citing a lack of professional people in tax administration In counties. their community, state or na tion.
