BEHIND THE SCENES

In the pit or shop area of a
speedway, each race car must pass
many rigid inspections before the
pit steward will allow the car to
take it's place on the track. All cars
must have roll bars, to prevent in
jury to the driver in case of an
accident, all welding must be
OK'd by a pit official, all drivers
are protected by a safety belt and
helmet, only one person is allowed
in car while on the track Intoxi-
eating liquors are never permitted
in a pit area, and any person found
to be under the influence of alco-
hol, shall be barred from further
competition = No car is ever al
lowed on the track, even for a
warm-up run without permission of
a track official, and no race is
started without an ambulance and

Should Youth Be fought About Peril
Of Dope, or Protected From Data?

In Canada, a special COM
mittee of % Canadian Sena-
tors concluded that while
educational programs may
usefully be established for
professional groups. for par
ent-teacher associations and
for adult groups generally,
such programs should not be
used where they would arouse
undue curiosity on the part
Of impressionable persons or
those of tender years"
The weight Of formal opinion
appears to be on the side Of
those who believe that warn
ings simply inspire the thrill
seekers. Some of those who

Judge Hoffman might even
prohibit the sale Of public
property If he believed it was
sold with the knowledge or
purpose of being put to dis
criminatory use. This is what
he said:
"Such a proposed sale. or
lease. should, however. contain
specific provisions as to all
terms and conditions, and
any attempt to negotiate a
sale or lease will be carefully
scrutinized by this court
should the matter be presented
in due time. In short. the
power to sell or lease must not
include the power to discrimi-
nate against members OF any
race"
Attorney General J. Lindsay
Almond, jr.. had admitted the
Negroes right to use the park
as a settled principle of law.
But he has noted an appeal.
Almonds Settlement
Last week he told The Star:
"The State is not appealing the
Injunction insofar as it applies
to the operation by the State
itself but is predicating its ap-
peal on that portion Of the or
der relating to the lease of the
park"
This is the second court case
that has had a direct bearing
on the program recommended
by the Gray Commission.
The other, filed and settled
since the Seashore decision, in
volved the legality Of spending
State funds for the education
of certain war orphans in pri-
vate schools. The State SUE
preme Court ruled more than
a week ago that this violates a
section of the State Constitu-
ton. The practice was stopped.
Hence, the Governor has
called a special session Of the
Legislature for November 80 to
start in motion the machinery
for removing the offending lam
guage from the Constitution.
If this is accomplished, pub
lie money may be used to edu-
cate children in private schools.
But 1t will not be until after
the Seashore State Park case is
settled that Virginians will
know If their public schools can
remain segregated under pri-
vate operation.

VIRGINIA:
SchooImen
Eye Case on
State Parks
By ALEX r. PRESTON

Virginia's authority to lease
or sell public schools to private
operators In her strenuous
fight to preserve segregated
education viii depend largely
on the outcome Of an ap-
parently unrelated court case
that has gone unnoticed since
the Gray Commissions report
last week.
Steps already have been
initiated to allow use Of public
funds for private instruction Of
those who object to inte-
grated classes and of children
in localities that close schools
to preserve segregation.
One Of the most contro-
versial features of the recon-
mendations Of the Commission
on Public Education, headed
by State Senator Garland
Gray. is that it would permit
abandonment Of the public
school system In any locality
that chose this course rather
than mix the races in the
classrooms.
Two Big Questions
The Gray Commission left
unanswered these questions:
Q What would happen to the
school buildings, representing
investments of hundreds of
millions Of dollars, If a large
number of localities decide to
abandon public education in
the face Of lawsuits by Ne
groeS?
. Could this public property
be leased or sold to private
operators with the idea that
they would not come within
the scope Of the Supreme
Court mandate against segre-
CATION in public schools?
The State is about to appeal

Walter E. Hoffman Of the Nor
folk District Court. who ruled

meeting at the atomic sum-
mit"-at Eniwetok, specifically
Ito show the world what a
hydrogen explosion is really
like. He wanted to invite rep-
resentatives Of all nations, In
cluding Russia and Red China,
to watch the blast.
The world does not fully url-
derstand the destructive power
Of the hydrogen bomb, Mr..
Murray said. A personal look
by world leaders. he suggested,
would drive the lesson home.
One slip Of Mr.. Murray's
vocabulary caused pur1sts' eye
brows to rise, but it is doubtful
that many other persons took
note. The Acc member said
at one point in his speech:
over our age, there still hangs
the fateful unresolyed dilem-
ma: viii 1t be war or peace?"
The dictionary defines q dilem-
ma as q choice between equally
unsatisfactory alternatives.
The other four members Of
the Acc criticized Mr.. Murray
for making his atomic sum-
NIT" suggestion. "A number Of
months ago." the commission
ers said, "the commission by
formal action rejected Com
missioner Murray's motion to
invite foreign observers, among
them Communist observers. to
witness tests Of nuclear weap-
ons in the Pacific. The. COM
mission has never changed its
position on this matter"
The commissioners alse
pointed out that a 1916
demonstration at Bikini, wit
messed by foreign observers, in
cluding Russians, had only
stimulated others to hasten
their atomic programs.
Only one public voice was
heard in Mr.. Murray's favor
and it only temporarily.
Donald A. Quarles. Secretary
Of the Air Force, was asked
after q National Press Club
speech If he liked the Murray
idea. MIR. Quarles said the
proposal had merit in 1t, and
added that it took q personal
look at a nuclear explosion to
appreciate entirely the de-
structive potentialities.
Shortly after. however, Mr..
Quarles reversed himself. If
he had known all the circurn-
stances surrounding the MUIR
ray statement, he said, he
would not have said what he
did ut the Press Club.

ond question last July. That
was In the Seashore State
Park case.
He said, in effect, that pub
lie property-the parks-must
be operated by the State on a
non-segregated basis and that
If they are leased, it is the
States responsibility to see
that the private operator also
follows a desegregation policy.
What if they are sold? There
is divided legal opinion on the
effect Of Judge Hofman's rul-
ing on this point.
The wide scope of Judge
Hoffman's opinion is indicated
by his words:
"The contention that a nor
NAL lessor lessee relationship
should be permitted In leases
of public property must give
way to the constitutional
rights Of the citizens as a
whole"
Seashore is one of eight
State parks for white persons.
There is one for Negroes. In
upholding the Negroes right
to use the Seashore, Judge
Hoffman said, "The injunc-
ton against the State) will
contain a provision that If said
park or any part thereof is
leased. the lease must not. di-
rectly or indirectly, operate so
as to discriminate against
members Of any race.
Should the successful les
see elect to admit Negroes.
only then the members of the
white race have Just cause to
complain. II it is operated
for the benefit of only the
members of the white race, the
Negroes may complain. Ac-
cordingly. the defendants are
required to elect to operate on
a nondiscriminatory basis. or.
if leased, to see that the park
is operated by the lessee with
out discrimination"
Applying this same principle
to the current dispute created
by the Gray Commission re-
port. the conclusion is inescap-
able that the localities could
be compelled by court order
to see that schools were oper-
ated by a lessee without dis
elimination.
But there was another part
of the courts opinion that in
