with guns blazing 215 miles
north Of Formosa at dawn yes

Twenty eight of her 180-man
crew were missing. A rescue ship
picked ,up the others.
No Americans were believed to
have been aboard.
The sinking, Red China's big

battle with Chang Kai-shek's
forces, marked the Communists

was interpreted here as a stark
warning of stronger Red meas
ures to come.
In Taipeh, top Nationalist Of
f1cers conferred for hours on the
incident. But there was nothing
to confirm an afternoon news
paper report that 'momentous
decisions" had been made and
plans are shaping UP for massive
retaliation.
An official newspaper, the
Chung Hau Daily News, asserted
that Soviet Russia is to blame
for the sinking.
Russia, the newspaper said,
turned over more than 40 tor
pedo boats to the Chinese Reds
at Tsingtao. a North China port,
several months ago.
Reports on the sinking of the

D. {. School System
Will Be Integrated
This Fall, Brief Says
No New Court Action
Is Required Here,
High Tribunal Told

The District today told the
Supreme Court that no further
court action is needed on public
school race desegregation here
because the school system will be
completely integrated by next
fall.
BY next September, the high
court was told, the school segre-
cation controversy here will be
completely moot"
This stand was taken in a
brief submitted by Corporation
Counsel Vernon E. West and
three of his aides on behalf of
the Board of Education.
The brief was drawn up in
preparation for oral arguments
scheduled next month before the
high tribunal on the implement
tation Of its May II decision
declaring public school race
segregation unconstitutional.
Brief Is Short.
The Districts brief itself was
very short. Mr.. Vests presenta-
ton consisted chiefly of two
documents already made public
by School Supt. Hobart M. Corn
ing outlining plans for desegre-
cation, together with the text of
a statement of integration prin-
ciples adopted last May by the
school board.
Two affidavits, one from DR..
Corning and the other from
Board Of Education President C..
Melvin Sharpe, were added. how
ever. The one from DR.. Corning
explained that the original inte-
grafton plans had been acceler-
ated. but that the integration
/ program as a whole still is
scheduled for completion on
September /, 1855.
The affidavit from Mr.. Sharpe
asserted that there was a wide
divergence of opinion" among
school board members concern
ing integration plans. but that
the plans had been approved by
a board majority and are now in
effect.
Statement by Corning.
Besides these affidavits, the
submission included a statement
by DR.. Corning to the board
recommending temporary sus-
pension of q ban on race sta
tistics. This suspension was ap-

RICHMOND, Nov. 15.-Nearly
1000 Virginians crowded an au-
ditorium here today as a 32-
member commission of State
legislators began public hearings
on school segregation.
A prepared statement from Ar
lington urged the lawmakers to
arrive at a solution legally con-
sistent" with whatever final de-
cree the Supreme Court may
hand down.
The non-segregated audience
was being held to strict rules
which give an individual or an
organization a maximum of 80
minutes. Two hours after the
proceedings began. only 20 had
been heard from on a list con-
tanning 143 names.
Officials ON Record.
Gov. Stanley, as well as most
Of the members of the Commits
sion on. Public Education, al
ready had said they would use
every legal means to preserve
segregation.
A number of Northern Vir-
ginia counties outside the Wash
ington Metropolitan area took a
similar stand.
Arlington, through its school
board chairman, Mrs. Elizabeth
Campbell, urged the commission
to give local school boards maxi
mum latitude in carrying out
final DEGREES of the court which
has declared racial segregation
to be unconstitutional.
I'VE ask the commission to
urge that calmness and restraint
prevail in all acts and state
ments by citizens, in all official
acts and statements, and par
.ticularly In any legislative ac-
ton" said Mrs. Campbell In a
prepared statement which pre-
viously had been carefully
screened by the Arlington School
Board and a 29-member citizens
advisory committee.
That "calmness and restraint
was a wise admonition appeared
evident from the large crowd
that showed up in the Mosque
Auditorium. The hearing had
been moved from the House Of
Delegates because OF advance

NAACP Urges
Quick End to

with the Supreme Court today
declaring that feven a generation
may not be long enough for a
solution" to the problem of
racial integration in public
schools of that State.
The high court also received
several other briefs, including a
statement from South Carolina,
In response to it's invitation for
suggestions as to the most ef-
fective and equitable way of
putting into effect its May II
decision outlawing racial segre-
cation in public schools. Today
is the deadline for submission
Of such briefs in preparation for
oral arguments starting Deem
ber 6.
Attorneys representing the Ma
tional Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People also
submitted a brief urging the
court to hand down DEGREES end
ing school segregation as quickly
as administrative changes can be
made in various States and COM
munities.
Urges 1856 Deadline.
Certainly, to indulge school
authorities until September l,
1856, to achieve desegregation
would be generous in the ex-
treme," the NAACP brief said.
"All DEGREES should specify Sept
enber, 1856, as the outside date"
This brief contended, however,
that the integration process
could be effected much faster
without inconvenience or in
justice. It recommended that
September. 1855, would be a rea-
sonable deadline in most in
stances.
much of the opposition to
forthwith desegregation does
not truly rest on any theory that
it is better to accomplish it
gradually" the NAACP brief
contended. In considerable
part. such opposition stems from
a desire that desegregation not
be undertaken at ALL"
Asks Substantial Time.
The Virginia brief filed by
Attorney General j. Lindsay
Almond, jr., requested the high
court to give the Common
wealth "a substantial period Of
time" in which to work out a
gradual adjustment from segre-
gated to integrated schools. It
did not specify any particular
time but declared that Virginia
"does not foresee a complete So
luton at any future time" It

mo plan or pancea for carrying

Warning that educational
chaos" would result from hasty
or i'll advised desegregation
moves, the Virginia brief sug-
gested that any workable plan
would have to include "a pattern
of local veriation with considera-
ton of such related factors as
health, morals, educational capa-
city and attainment and COM
munity attitudes" Without such
a plan, it cautioned, Virginia's
public schools might have to be
closed.
Government still derives its
foundation from the consent Of
the governed" Mr.. Almond wrote
in the brief. "The people Of
many sections Of Virginia have
stated forthrightly that they
will not consent to compulsory
integration of the races in the
public schools. Neither court de-
cree nor executive order can
force in those sections a result
