BY the Asseeioted Press

RICHMOND, Va, June 28.-
Former Gov. Colgate Darden said
today he hoped Gov. Stanley
would go through with his an
nounced plans to appoint a BIZ
racial commission to study the
school segregation problem.
Mr.. Darden, now president of
the University of Virginia. said
he felt a commission would ac-
complish something very use
full" in helping the State chart
a course in the wake of the Su-
preme Court decision outlawing
segregation.
While reiterating his advocacy

Darden said he recognized the

ley.
Might FOregO Study.
The Governor, taking his first
public stand against the court
decision in statement Friday,
limited he might for the time
being forego his plans for COM
mission study.
Mr.. Stanley had said he would
set up a commiSSion-with Ne
gro members included-the last
of this month. And at his press
conferences, he made it clear he
wanted the commission to help
Virginia chart an educational
policy.
But the Governors 500-word
statement Friday disclosed in
definite words the course the 63-
year-old Chief Executive thinks
Virginia should take.
He said he was convinced
"the overwhelming majority" of
VirginianS want to retain segre-
gated schools.
Gov. Stanley proposed elm
mating the provision in the
State constitution which re-
quireS the commonwealth to
maintain a public school system
"a provision which has been in
effect for "a years.
Reaction Differs.
Reaction to the Governors
stand was far from unanimous.
State legislators in southside
Virginia-which has the high
est percentage of Negro popula-
ton in the State-warmly COM
mended Gov. Stanley. Members
OF the General Assembly from
other areas were more conServ-
ative in their comments.
Two top-ranking political fig
ureS-Republican Ted Dalton of
Radford and Delegate Robert
Whitehead of Nelson County
leveled criticism at the gover-
nor.
MIR. Dalton, who unsuccessfully
opposed Gov. Stanley in last No
vember'S gubernatorial race, pic
tured the proposal for amending
the Constitution as a possible
first step toward abolishing the
public school system.
This must never happen in
Virginia." he said.
Mr.. Whitehead, leader of the
States anti-organization Dem
ocratS, said, I'VE are being of
fered a pig in a poke" and said
he disagreed completely with
the suggestion that the Consti-
tuition be amended.

In Rover Plan for
Trial of Offenders
By chorIes G. Brooks

Chairman Hendrickson of the

Subcommittee warned today
that "get tough" policies with
juvenile delinquents are endan.

Speaking at a national con.
ference on the subject. spon.
sored by the Department Of
Health, Education and Welfare,
the New Jersey Republican sim
gled out the District as a place
where "get tough" policies now
being advanced are not going to
solve the problem.
The Senator attacked a re-
quest by United States Attorney
Leo A. Rover, which would re-
move from the Juvenile Court its
authority to waive certain cases
to the criminal court and place
the power in his Office.
Three-Day Conference.
He told the 400 juvenile court
judges. Sociologists and others
attending the three-day confer
ence which opened this morning
that:
Considerable publicity about
the misdeeds of juveniles here
has resulted in many demands
to get tough One result Of
these demands was the introduce
ton of legislation in the United
States Congress which would re-
move from the juvenile court its
authority to waive certain cases
to the criminal court and place
this power in the hands of the
United States Attorney. This
would result, its exponentS as
sumo. in more juveniles being
waived to criminal courts.
Agitation for this change has
utterly ignored the fact that in
the District of Columbia our
criminal courts have less avail.
able to them in terms of treat
ment resources than our Juvenile
Court. But forget treatment, we
are urged. The more serious
older offenders are not children
but adults who should be pun
iShed. This appeal to blind re.
lance upon punishment to re.
form ignores everything we
have learned about human be-
havior since the dawn of the
social sciences.
"Of course, publicity given the
problem of juvenile delinquency
in the District of Columbia has
brought forth some gains. But
emphasize that it has also
brought negatives in its wake.
Surely in our cries of fire we
must least calculate the dangers
of stimulating negative action
unless and until we are in posi-
ton to provide more effective
leadership"
He then called for "a meeting
of the minds on the right STRAIT
egy to make our attack success
full and declared that after nine
months of investigation as chair
man of his subcommittee he Is
impressed by the obvious dis
parity" between what is known
and what is being done.
Secretary of Health, Education
and Welfare Oveta Culp Hobby
told the conference. meeting at
the departments building, that
today a tremendous rise in juve-
nile delinquency is sending more
youngsters to court than ever
beforehand for an increasing
number of acts of violence.
1t is a shocking fact" Mrs.
Hobby declared, that statistics
show juvenile delinquency has
grown with tremendous rapidity
during the past five years"
Secretary Hobby declared that
since juvenile delinquency stems
from both general and specific
social deficiencies effective
treatment calls for community
as well as individual action.
