For Suggestions on
Integrating Schools
By jones 6. Deone

The District Board of Educa-
tion today asked % civic leaders
whether they would be willing to
give suggestions on the mechan-
les of school integration at a
special open meeting May Z.
The session has been set only
tentatively until the board learns
how many will attend. c. Mel
vim Sharpe. president. said if
some decline, it will be necessary
to ask others, and this might
delay the meeting.
The board voted several
months ago to call the special
session. It was proposed be-
cause the Supreme Court now
is considering a challenge to
race segregation in the city's
schools. A decision from the
high tribunal-which might re-
quire merging the present dual
system-is expected in the next
few weeks.
Summary of Suggestions.
Mr.. Sharpe and Supt. Hobart
NJ. Corning, who issued the in
vitation, sent the 28 civic leaders

ber of civic organizations. DR..
Corning has stated he will give
the board his own integration
plan at the next regular board
meeting May 20.
The citizens invited to the ten
tative May 7 meeting were ap-
preached as individuals. The
board does not intend to ask for
further advice now from spokes-
men of the various organizations
which already have submitted
proposals in writing, Mr.. Sharpe
said.
Each of the citizens will be
asked to make a statement, with
a time limit still to be decided
on. There won't be any general
discussion, Mr.. Sharpe said.

Fairfax Takes Step
tuesday 10 Hasten
School Bonds Sale

The Fairfax County School
Board plans to set the necessary
legal machinery in motion Tues
day to sell 81 million in school
construction bonds.
A resolution has been prepared
by the school boards legal ad-
viserS to advertise the first block
of an $11 million school con-
Struction bond issue approved by
the voters last February.
Sale of the bonds has been de-
layed ever since the resolution
because of litigation. Attorney
John Locke Green, representing
the Freeholders' Protective Asso-
citation which opposed the bond
issue, unsuccessfully sued to pre-
vent sale of the bonds. The final
decision in that case was handed
down by the Virginia Supreme
Court Of Appeals last month,
clearing the way at last for the
bond sale.
The resolution to be adopted
Tuesday is the first legal require
ment to fulfill in preparation for
the bond sale. After a Today
wait, the bond advertisements
may be printed and bids invited.
School officials estimate the
bonds will be sold by mid-No-
vember.
The Virginia State Retirement
Board has been asked to bid on
the bonds. Arlington County
sold $2.5 million in school con-
struction bonds to the retire
ment board last week at an in
terest rate of 35 per cent.
The Fairfax school board ex-
poets some school projects may
be ready for immediate conStruc-
tion as soon as the bonds are
sold. Architects already have
been assigned projects in the new
building program. The entire
$11 million program is planned
to meet the county's school needs
through the fall of 1855.
