With the aid of harbor police

They said they hoped to patch

Southern Governors
Discuss School Issue
In Virginia Thursday
By ihe A,,oein,sd Pros,

RICHMOND. Va, June 5.-A
delegation Of Southern gover-
nors and their representatives
will meet here next Thursday
to swap ideas on the possihili-
ties for keeping white and Negro
pupils separated in Dixie schools.
The conference was suggested
by Virginia's Gov. Stanley. os-
tensibly, "for the exchange of
information and views" on the
Supreme Court decision of May
II outlawing segregation in the
public schools.
But the underlying theme goes
much deeper for most of the gov
ernors. who are hoping ways and
means may be found to skirt
the courts ruling and continue
the segregated policy that has
prevailed in the South since the
inception Of the public school
system.
By latest count, seven COVER
norS plan to attend the one-day
session that will take place in
a Richmond hotel suite. Those
who will join host Gov. Stanley
are William c. Marland of West
Virginia. William B. Umstead of
North Carolina, James F. Byrnes
Of South Carolina, Terman Tai
madge Of Georgia. Gordon Per-
sons Of Alabama and Hugh White
Of Mississippi.
Delaware Won't Attend.
Gov. Johnston Murray of
Oklahoma has indicated he may
be on hand-if not, he'll send a
representative. The governors
of Maryland, Louisiana, Florida,
Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky
and Texas have disclosed they'll
send representatives. Delaware,
the Is State invited, will not
be represented.
Gov. Stanley. q furniture man
ufacturer who was chosen gover-
nor of Virginia last November,
has said he doesn't expect the
session. to produce any earth
shaking declarations of policy on
the part of the Southern chief
executives.
But there is the possibility
the governors may lay down a
bit Of basic strategy in dealing
with the court decision. And
there has been speculation they
may join in a united appeal to
the court for plenty of time in
which to effect gradual inte-
grafton of the races.
However, three of the Gov
ernors-Talmadge, Byrnes and
White - have made it clear
they'll make an all-out attempt
to keep the races apart.
Seek CircumventiOn.
And officials of Louisiana,
Tennessee, North Carolina, Ala
bama, Florida and Virginia have
indicated they would like to find
some method whereby the courts
ruling may be circumvented.
In general, two plans have
been mentioned most frequently
in circumvention speculation.
One would mean abandonment
Of the public school system as
such. with the states doling out
funds to parents to send their
children to private schools. The
other method would be for school
boards to assign students to vari-
GUS schools-on a segregated
basis-in the best interests" of
the child and education in gen.
eral.
A survey shows that in only
three States and the District of
Columbia are any plans afoot
to try integration this fall.

Americans are turning away

Northern Virginia Democrats

There is a strong feeling

We had more time for reflection

couldn't build the costly cosmo-

scientist. II think most phys-
icists and scientists read a news
paper a day, spending about half
an hour with it. Most read one

azines. In all. they probably
read as much as the average
commuter.
Scientists may not meet as

as the average man does. Maybe
the scientist has less under

that.

In Series Of Bombinus

Montgomery County police
have launched a broad investi-
CATION to fix responsibility for a
series Of recent bombings that
terrorized and endangered resi-
dents Of Bethesda. Chevy Chase
and Silver Spring.
Suspicion pointed to pupils Of
the Bethesda Chevy Chase High
School.
For the second time within o
month. q member Of that schools
faculty became the victim Of the
vandals on Friday night.
Miss Ann Fullerton, a popular
and highly respected biology
teacher, reported a rock was
thrown through a window of her
apartment at 4523 Avondale
street. Bethesda at 1880 pm.
Friday. It landed beside a sofa
where she and two guests had
been seated a few minutes
before.
Outside Miss Fullerton's apart
ment fell a crude, homemade
bomb consisting of f1recracker
powder and a cardboard cylin-
der. It's smoke filled her rooms.
Zimmerman Home Fired.
On April 8, night vandals
tossed a rock through a window
of the home of Ray o. Zimmcr-
man. assistant principal, and set
fire to a gasoline-soaked mat
outside the front door. Attracted
by the breaking glass, Mr.. and
Mrs. Zimmerman discovered the
fire in time to prevent its spread
and possibly injury or death.
About two weeks ago a home
made bomb was dropped at a
Hot Shoppe restaurant on
Georgia avenue, just across the
District line in Silver Spring.
The same night, another ex-
ploSive was placed inside the
door of resident on Wessling
lane. Bethesda.
Within a month, other home
made bombs have exploded at
the Columbia Specially Co. on
Bradley boulevard and on the
automobile of a Bethesda resi-
dent.
Students Aroused.
Student leaders at Bethesda
Chevy Chase High School, as
well as their elders, have been
aroused by the incidents.
Boyce R. Williams, jr., newly
installed president of the student
government association, yester-
day called upon his fellow pupils
to help identify vandals.
Something has got to done
about it," he commented. He
suggested that if any student
is reluctant to become involved
publicly. he should pass along
pertinent information by un-
signed note to the principal, Will
liam G. Pyles.
Fears Claiming Up"
Mr.. Pyles and his assistant,
Mr.. Zimmerman, blamed news
paper publicity for the present
state of affairs.
Mr.. Zimmerman, who is in
charge of school discipline, had
this comment:
The Star and the Post gave
a couple thousand kids an idea
what they can do to get even
with a teacher with whom they
arc angry"
Principal Pyles said he felt the
disclosure of the seriousness Of
the attack on the Zimmerman
home caused pupils to clam
up" on the incident.
Nothing I can say will help
one way or another" the princi-
pal continued. 1T is a criminal
matter to be handled by the
police"
Mr.. Pyles and young Williams
agreed the incidents reflect upon
the reputation of the entire
student body but held that only
a small group is responsible.

Fashion Hints From Abroad

EOREIGN places have a
IL magic appeal for many
American fashion designers.
They travel to the four cor
ners of the earth in quest of
ideas for use in their designs.
Tina Lesser and Carolyn
Schnurer are two designers
whose travels have given
American clothes an exciting
foreign flavor, and, of course,
there are others.
A new textile print design
may have been seen originally
on a colorful Persian tile.
Magnificent saris have been
the stimuli for fabric and
trim ideas. Beautiful Balkan
embroideries have been simu-
lated skillfully in textile pat
terms or borders for a sun
dress worn right In your own
backyard.
Quaint customs, costumes,
and architecture can serve to
inspire designers with idea
material which they adapt
rather than copy directly.
This is one way that the
constantly changing fashion
scene always manages to
seem so fascinating. It is
also the way that the glamour
Of distant lands is brought to
many women who otherwise
would never know it.
