Hoffman that the state can
not continue racial segrega.
zion at Seashore State Parl
near Virginia Beach whether
the park is operated by Vir-
ginia or under private lease.
The scope of the opinion
was so broad as apparently to
block any attempt the state
might make to sell or lease
its public schools to private
operators to avoid the Su-
preme Courts desegregation
order. At least, this is the
opinion of leading legal minds.
Wrote Judge Hoffman: "The
judgement of this court is not
rendered without the full real
ization of the impact of this
decision on the State park sys-
tenn in Virginia. The con-
tention that a normal lessor
Jesse relationship should be
permitted in leases of public
property must give way to the
constitutional rights of the
citizens as a whole"
Virginia officials had expect
e dthe court to go against
it by ruling admission to the
park by Colored citizens. But
the scope of the ruling took
them completely by surprise.
For the state did not expect
that it could not lease of sell
public parks and if it did, "the
lease must not directly or in
directly operate so as to- dis
eliminate against the mem
bers of any race"
Completely SpeechleSs by the
whole thing, Virginia Attorney
General J. Lindsay Almond,
Jr. said he did not know whe-
ther the state would appearl

No one can deny that there

certain cities of Kentucky.
Oklahoma and New Mexico is
now an accomplished fact.
1t is encouraging to not
that there is les resistance to
migration than expecter in
Texas and Louisiana.
Another gain is a decision of
the Virginia Judge who de-
clared that school bands for
merly floated for segregated
schools are void This action
will accomplish the same re-
suits that are hoped for in
South Carolina, Georgia, and
Mississippi. to wit: that the
schools will be closed to both
white and colored students
This is a gain. These states
cannot for long resist the
public pressure of condem-
nation that viii be heaped ND
on their heads for DENYING
education to the children of
their states. In fact, if the
Federal Government were to
deny school aid to states which
practice segregation al
though the immediate effect
might be the cessation of
schools for both colored and
white the Southern whites
would not long stand for be-

Eisenhower Asks $l2,65O,OOO for
 A Powered Ship

WASHINGTON, R-President Eisenhower asked Congress yes terday for $12,65O,OOO to start construction of the worlds first atomic powered merchant ship.
 Eisenhower first disclosed plans for building such a ship in a New York speech on April 25. At that time he told the annual luncheon of the Associated Press that the vessel would be sent on a dram atic around the world cruise to demonstrate Americas determin- ation to harness atomic power for peaceful purposes.
 Since then, the proposal has run into criticism from some Con- gress members. Chairman Bonner DINO of the House Merchant Marine Committee said the vessel projected by Eisenhower would be some sort of carnival or Mis- sissippi River showboat. Both he and others suggested building a practical" atomic powered ship that would carry freight.
 Eisenhower's request Thursday for funds to start construction was included in an overall request for $139,334,O14 for additional ap- propriations for the fiscal year starting July l.
 Included was $16,05O,O0O for the Federal Civil Defense Admin istration.
