Arlington Aide Sees
Compliance Without
Lifting Bon at WI.
By Mary Lou Werner

Arlington School ofnc1alS today
face the immediate problem of
whether they must admit Negroes
to Washington-Lee High School.
This is the result of a Federal
court order yesterday, which re-
quires them to supply plaintiffs in
a discrimination suit land all
other Negro children /. . the same
or equivalent senior high school
educational opportunities. advan-
tages and facilities :. as soon
as they do for pupils of any other
group or race"
Lawrence w. Douglas, attorney
for the School Board, said school
officials can meet the problem and
that Negroes will not be admitted
to Washington-Lee High School.
Unified Course of Study.
But, Mr.. Douglas emphasized,
the School Board is determined
to give a uniform course of study"
If any qualified. bona fide stu
dent of Hoffman-Boston requests
a course that is given at Washing
ton-Lee. it will be given," Mr..
Douglas declared.
The order was entered by Fed
eral Judge Albert v. Bryan in
Alexandria District Court in what
it known as the Constance Carter
case. The case had been remanded
to him by the United States
Fourth Court of Appeals, which
held there was discrimination be-
tween white and colored students
in Arlington high schools, in that
the colored facilities were inferior.
The order had been prepared
by Leon A. Ransom, counsel for
the plaintiffs. He took excep-
tion to several sentences Judge
Bryan deleted from the order
he proposed. The deletions
specifically would have instructed
the School Board to admit colored
students to Washington-Lee High
School.
Interpreted as Equality.
Asked to give his Interpretation
of the orders effect Mr. Ransom
said:
"They (members of the Arling-
ton School BoardD are ordered to
give US equality. If they fail, they
will be in contempt of court
The attorney AIDED he felt facil-
tiles at the Hoffman-Boston Negro
school in Arlington, "as of today" !"
are not equal to those at Washing
ton-Lee.
Il don't know if they can make
them equal overnight" he con-
tinued, pointing to the phrase that
requires equal facilities for COL
ored. "as soon as" they are pro-
vided for white students.
Mr.. Ransom said that If any
colored student wants some sub
ject or facility Monday morning
that is available in Washington
Lee. he expects the same facility
at Hoffman-Boston. If it cannot
be provided. he said the only al
tentative will be to admit the
Negro student to Westinghouse.
Virginia Requires Segregation.
THAT would be the School
Boards only way to avoid con-
tempt proceedings" he added.
The Arlington School Boards
problem is complicated by the fact
that the Virginia constitution re-
quires segregation of the races in
education. School officials had
not received the decree last night
and would not comment.
The court order awards the
plaintiffs $692.5O from the school
board as costs of the appeal and
unspecif1ed costs of the original
suit.
Plaintiffs in the suit are Julius
Brevard and Peggy Council, stu
dents at Hoffman-Boston. They
continued the suit after the orig
!nal plaintiff, Constance Carter,
withdrew.

Warner w. Price

Warner w. Price, Jr., presented
the following statement as his rea-
son for seeking election to the
Board of Education of the Smyrna
Special School District:
"As parent with two young
children I am vitally interested in
school affairs. 1 believe that the
younger parents of this school dis
trict should have more representa-
tion on the Board of Education.
II strongly favor the creation of
lay group here to represent both
parents and teachers with the bet
terment of our children's education
as its ultimate purpose.
There is need here for improv-
ing the educational background of
our vocational students and for
children interested in agriculture.
The addition of vocational courses
would help non-college students get
better jobs more quickly upon grad
uation from school. Eventual ad-
dition of agricultural courses will
help develop future farm citizens.
II should like to see the college
preparatory program of our high
school strengthened. And 1 favor
a well rounded school athletic pro-
gram emphasizing the best traits
of good sportsmanship.
II feel that our school here can
be put to much greater use as a
community center for both stu
dents and adults. The University
of Delaware offers many courses
for people of all ages which could
be held in the school buildings. l
have in mind courses of furniture
repair, painting, chair Gaming, etc.
IT think that the work and build
ing facilities of the Thomas Clay
ton School can be improved upon.
II would like to see an improve
ment in the quality and quantity of
meals served in the school cafe
terra, and that cafeteria services
be provided in the Thomas D. Clay
ton School.
IT believe in the continued en-
ployment of the highest type teach
ing personnel for all schools in the
Smyrna Special School District and
in maintaining all school buildings
in the manner for which the John
Bassett Moore School building is
noted throughout the State"
Mr.. Price, who is president of
Warner w. Price Co., Inc, since
1941, is a director of the National
Bank of Smyrna and a member of
the Kent County Committee for re-
dividing school districts. He serv-

Here is one of the most unusual
novels you have read, about her
oine you will never forget. Little
Old Debby, her adopted family call
ed her. BY fortune or misfortune
the reader must judge--she could
never grow old but was locked for
ever in child's world. And to the
Merrill children, one after another,
she was the most perfect and de-
lightful of companions. There is
magical quality to this story
humor and radiant tenderness as
well as a never-failing compassion
that succeeds in blending the world
of reality and the world of fancy.
