Retiring President
Of Virginia Bar Hits
Segregation Ruling
By the Asseeiatsd Press

0y vnS ASSoGlovOO bbGSS
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS,
w. Va, Aug. 13.-The retiring
president of the Virginia State
Bar Association says the Su-
preme Court decision outlawing
public school segregation was an
"unwarranted assumption of ju-
dicial powers"
r. Justin Moore Of Richmond,
who with Attorney General j.
Lindsay Almond argued Vir-
ginia's case before the Nations
highest court, told the associa-
tion's 64th annual meeting here
last night:
II the 14th amendment is to
be construed as forbidding segre-
cation in public schools, I'VE
here find authority for Govern
ment by men and not under law
in the important field of public
segregation"
The court handed down its de-
cision abolishing segregation May
II after considering five allied
cases-including one which was
an appeal from q Richmond Dis
trict Court decision supporting
segregation in Prince Edward
County, Va.
Urged to Minimize Impact.
Mr.. Moore told the lawyers the
Supreme Courts decision up
setting segregation in public
schools must be accepted, but
he said the State is obligated
to minimize the impact by what
ever means possible.
He said the Commonwealth
now faces the problem Of con-
forming with the decision, but
must allow for "the deep con-
viction Of the majority Of the
people Of Virginia. :. That in
discriminate racial inter- mixture
Is harmful"
Mr.. Moore said any action
reducing or retarding the level
of public education In Virginia
may result in greater detriment
to our State than has the de-
cision of the Supreme Court.
Unwilling to Accept"
sIt appears a large majority
of our citizens are unwilling to
accept racial integration In the
public schools. It is therefore
the duty and the responsibility
of thinking citizens to do all
that is possible to minimize the
impact of the decision in Vir-
ginia, while In all respects ac-
cepting the result as law" Mr..
Moore said.
The Supreme Court will hear
arguments in October from the
parties involved on the best
method Of carrying out the de-
cision.
With other States considering
extremes Of abolishing public
education and full compliance,
the third round Of arguments
before the Supreme Court may
perhaps find only Virginia seek
ing "the middle course, q solu-
tion that conforms but causes as
little damage as possible to pub
lie education" Mr.. Moore said.

Parkway Properly
Offered for $4,000
Bid In for $4,000

An Arlington oil refinery
property, which had been Of
fered for sale for $12n mn as a
portion of the George Washing
ton Memorial parkway, has been
bid in for $o1.0uJ a. a TO- e.
closure auction, it was learned
today.
v. c. Worthington, president
of the Worthington Oil Re-
finers, Inc, of Rosslyn. was given
80 days to make up the balance
after he put up a $500 cash
deposit at the sale Tuesday.
The Reconstruction Finance
Corp, had ordered foreclosure of
the Worthington company prop
erty to satisfy the balance owed
on an original note for $65, 1000
made in 1948.
Juts Into Right-of-W Way.
The oil company was engaged
in the business of re-refining Pc
troleuna products until a fire put
it out Of operation on March IL.
1858. The property, consisting Of
about $4,000 square feet. is on
North Oak street. It juts into
the right-of-way Of the George
Washington Memorial Parkway,
a few hundred feet upstream
from Key Bridge.
The site has been considered
as a possible link for a roadway
between Lee Highway and the
parkway. The National Capital
Planning Commission. the Vir-
ginia Highway Department and
Arlington County Planners have
been studying the proposal for
some time.
Mr.. Worthington offered to
sell the property for $4,000.
Under an arrangement for ac-
quiring parkway land, the Fed
eral Government puts up so per
cent of the cost, the State 25
per cent and the county Is per
cent.
Earlier this year, a bill author
izing a 100000 appropriation as
the Federal share was killed in
Congress.
Last winter the Virginia Gen.
eral Assembly appropriated the
States $4,000 share and the
Arlington County Board ap-
proved a similar amount in its
budget.
Arlington Planning Director C..
L. Kinnier. however, said these
figures do not commit the three
governments to purchase the
whole amount, but merely rep
resent the maximum that might
be paid.
$4,000 Was Owed.
Arlington Attorney C.. Wynne
Tolbert, representing the RFC,
said the original Indebtedness Of
SOS 900 had been reduced to some
$34, 900, which. with interest and
taxes, now runs to more than
$44. 900.
Sheriff Carl Taylor Of Airing
ton, who auctioned the property,
said he had no record Of the
name Of the only other bidder
against Mr.. Worthington. The
second bidder had run the price
up to $4,000 and reportedly
was there representing the RFC.

Suburban Rise
In Sewer Rate
Now
Commission Poet
With D, c. to Add
To Cost, However
By John w. Stepp

4 5sg4 {
Maryland suburbanites face no
immediate increase in sewer
charges as a result of the agree
ment entered into by the Dis
trict Government and the.
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission.
This was the assurance today
of two highly placed commits
sion officials.
The agreement, signed yester-
day by the District Commission
ers as sanitary commission
officials looked on, provides for
a major increase in Maryland's
share in the Districts cost of
handling suburban sewage.
In another provision, the
suburban body agrees to build a
SIT million sewer line from
Bladensburg to connect with the
District sewer system near East
Capitol street on the east bank
Of the Anacostia River. This
will assure substantial reduction
of pollution in the Potomac and
the Anacostia.
$5 to $6.5 Million.
Costs to the sanitary commits
sion in the next eight years are
expected to total from SIS mil
lion to sos million. The figure
covers Maryland's share in
maintenance and operating ex-
penses of the District sewer sys-
TEN ($305, ,000): rental for using
District facilities ($56,412), and
replacement or new construction
of city sewer installations (any-
where from SAT- million to $6.2
million).
What will be the effect of these
big new charges to customers
served by the sanitary commits
sion? Raymond w. Bellamy,
commission chairman. was asked
this question.
Nothing has been discussed
officially in my presence" Mr..
Bellamy responded. $50 far as
I. know. we do not contemplate
any sewer charge increases. I
hate to venture a guess. I'm not
too sure"
But, Mr.. Bellamy said, the IA
c n t-per-1 ,000-gallon- of water
consumption charge imposed for
sewer use last September was de-
signed to cover the higher costs
imposed by the agreement with
the District, at the outset, at
least.
Another Less Certain.
Another official of the cofn-
mission, who chose to remain
unidentified, seemed less sure
Of that status.
"While I see no immediate
reason for increasing sewer
charges, If we carry out a lot Of
projects then we certainly will
have some increase in cost to
sewer users" he said.
The official was told Of reports
that the sewer agreement may
lead soon to increase of or
q cents per 1,000 gallons water
consumption for suburban users.
II frankly believe no one
knows" he said. Nothing,
frankly, has been decided, or,
as far as I know talked about.
It is too soon to say"
The sanitary commission now
is paying only $21,0 annually
to the District for handling sub
urban sewage, totaling Is million
gallons daily. This barely covers
the cost of pumping Maryland
sewage through the District sys-
tenn, local officials have said.
Brig. Gen. Louis w. Prentiss,
District Engineer Commissioner,
said at signing ceremonies yes
terday that the foresight of the
late Harold A. Kemp, former
District director of sanitary
engineering, led to the compile
ton Of the pact after 10 long
years.
During the next l8 months.
meters win be installed to register
Maryland sewer system use here.
