Gray Plan Unconstitutional,
Opponents. Hear

The Gray Commissions pro.
posal for avoiding forced inte-
grafton through tuition grants
is unconstitutional. an attorney
told an audience of mere than
500 Arlington residents yester-
day.
This viewpoint was expressed
by Herbert Thatcher. who spe-
cializes in constitutional and la
Dor laws. during a panel discus
sion by opponents to the Gray
report.
Gov. Stanley on Saturday
signed a bill passed by the Gen.
eral Assembly that authorizes a
referendum vote on an amend
ment to the Virginia State con-
stitution. The change in the
constitution would permit the
use of public funds for private
schooling, as recommended by
the commission. :.
Speaking at the Arlington
Unitarian Church. Mr.. Thatcher
said the tuition grant plan is
unconstitutional for two basic
reasons.
One. he said, is that con-
stitutional law forbids that pub
lie funds be used for private pur-
poses. Also, Mr.. Thatcher said,

RICHMOND. Va, Dec. S R.-
State Democratic administration
leaders mapped strategy today
for an intensive Statewide cam
paign aimed at winning grass
roots approval of a plan for deal
ing with school segregation.
The plan, the first phase in
a program for overhauling Vir-
ginia's educational policies,
would permit the State to sub
siriize private education.
The Legislature, at a special
four-day session which ended
Saturday, overwhelmingly gave
the go-ahead for the people to
voice on the subject in q refer
endum January 9.
Convention Is Issue
The referendum will determine
whether a convention shall be
called to amend the State con-
stitution-a step that must be
made if the Commonwealth is
to be given authority to provide
tuition grants for pupils to
attend private nonsecretarian
schools.
The tuition grants would be
available to students whose par
ents prefer they not attend an
integrated school and in any
areas where authorities abandon
public schools rather than oper-
ate mixed schools.
Despite the ease with which
the constitutional amendment
plan passed the Legislature, a
number Of lawmakers have pri-
vately expressed the view II may
draw considerable opposition.
Map Information Plan
During debate. several speak
ers expressed the fear that oppo-
sition votes would be cast be-
cause some persons might get the
impression the public school sys-
tenn would be endangered.
.Backers Of the plan denied
this. But the Gray Commission.
which drafted the, program to try
to preserve segregation in areas
OF high Negro population ratio,
decided to take no chances.
Consequently they conferred
with Gov. Stanley and agreed to
conduct a widespread "informa-
ton program" aimed at winning
votes for the amendment plan.
Speakers will go into various
partssof the State to explain the
plan and why its hackers feel it's
necessary.
Gray commission members re-
gard the tuition grant idea as the
backbone Of their recommends
tons for giving Virginia an "out"
to the Supreme Courts 1854 rul-
ing outlawing school segregation.
Administration spokesman said
Gov. Stanley set comparatively
early date for the referendum so
that the peoples will would be
known before the Legislature
meets later in January. II the
vote is favorable, the. General
Assembly could then proceed to
enactment of the rest of the pro-
gram proposed by the Gray Com
mission

man" for floor leadership work
The big factor against the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Cochran-de-
scribed by one young delegate as
"the most conservative of the
Young Turks"-appeared to be
his lack of membership on the
Privileges and Elections Com
mittee.
Tradition Is Long
The floor leadership has ira
ditionally gone to the ranking
member-or some person close to
the ranking member = of this
committee. Mr.. Cooke is next to
Mr.. Davis in committee seniority
The House speaker, however
has the power to name someone
else to the position if he so
wishes.
Mr.. Cochran has indicated he
would be receptive to taking on
the floor leaders role, but has
also made it clear he will not
campaign or make any fight over
the issue.
Some of the Young Turks
while believing the appointment
Of Mr.. Cochran would lessen the
chances of new friction between
the Houses older and younger
elements, also take the view ii
might be unwise to wage a
serious fight over the matter.
They point to two important
assignments given the Young
Turk faction since the 1854 ses-
sion. Delegate Joseph Black
burn of Lynchburg was named
to the Gray commission and
Delegate Toy Savage Of Norfolk
to the Governors Budget Ad-
visory Committee.
The Younk Turks have con-
tended all along they are men,
bers of the organization and
merely want a bigger voice in
making its policies.

New voters who have qualified
since the November election will
be required to present poll tax
receipts when they vote in Vir-
ginia's special election Janu-
airy 8.
Northern Virginia registrars
said today that all persons who
were eligible to vote in the No
vember 8 election also will be
eligible in the special election.
This will be a referendum to
determine whether a constitu-
tional convention should be
called to amend Virginia's con-
stitution to allow State funds
for private schooling.

Tip on Planning
Of Robbery Leads
Police to Crime

TOWSON, Dec. 5 (P).-Balti-
more County police received q
telephone tip last night that two
thugs were planning to rob a
might Waterman at the county's
road department shop. The
caller said he overheard two
men plotting the crime.
The police hurried to the shop
to find the Waterman, John
Hauspipe. in a dazed condition.
He said he had been hit over
the head a few minutes before
by one of two men and robbed
of $40.
Police later arrested a 22-year-
old colored man and held him
for investigation in connection
with the robbery.

AS Floor Leader

RICHMOND, va, Dec. S (R.-
Delegate John Warren Cooke of
Mathews emerged today as the
likely choice to assume the floor
leaders duties at the regular SEES
| sion of the General Assembly be-
ginning in January.
/ The Associated Press learned
from reliable sources that Mr..
Cooke intends to resign as chair
man of the legislatures joint
Democratic caucus to clear the
way for the move.
His selection would come as a
rebuff to an effort by some of the
Young Turk delegates to have
Delegate George Cochran of
Staunton take over as floor
leader.
Mr.. Cochran had oeen pictured
as a man who could effectively
produce legislative harmony be-
tween the lower, chambers old
