King George County

Moves 10 Richmond
BY the Associoted Press

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 10-From
Richmond probably will come the
next move In the school equaliza-
tion issue in King George County.
Commonwealth's Attorney Horace
T. Morrison of King George sale
yesterday he will attempt to arrange
conference here before Fedora.
Judge Sterling Hutcheson with the
attorneys who represent colored
school pupils of the county.
His statement came after the
King George County School Board
meeting in Bowling Green with
Circuit Court Judge Leon M. Bazile
had restored to the curriculum OF
the King George High School for
white children three of five SUBJ
jects that it dropped last week in
an effort to make curricula of Negro
and white schools equal. Physics,
geometry and second-year algebra
were restored while chemistry and
biology remain out.
At first, Mr.. Morrison and T. Ben
ton Gayle, school superintendent,
were not invited to yesterdays
School Board meeting called by
Judge Bazile. Later in the day,
however, they were asked to be
present.
Judge Explains Presence.
Mr.. Morrison asked Judge Bazile
if he were at the School Board meet
ing as adviser to the board. Judge
Bazile answered he was there in his
capacity as a circuit court judge.
Judge Bazile took a sworn state
ment from Edward B. Webb, prin-
cipal of the King George Training
Schol for Negroes, relative to diff
'culties to be encountered in the in
stallation of the subjects in question
in the Negro high school.
Mr.. Morrison objected to this ac-
ton because Mr.. Webb has been
summoned as a witness by the plain
tiffs in the Federal equalization
trial. Il do not feel 1t was proper
for Judge Bazile to take his state
ment," Mr.. Morrison said.
Mr.. Morrison said a conference
with the plaintiffs attorneys in the
federal equalization suit was nee
essary for several reasons.
New School Planned.
One was that the county Satur-
day passed a $150,0O0 bond issue
for the construction of a new Negro
high school.
School authorities said the
courses were restored after the &C
ton was approved by Judge Bazile.
The Judge said the action was
proper after ascertaining there were
no Negro candidates for the sub
jects.
