get smaller yet.
without the currently, re-
quested fare boost-and maybe
even with 1.-THE union request
would throw the company into
the red, where Mr.. Wolfson
isn't about to 60 willingly.
Presumably, the company
will sit tight while the union
strikes-at least until the util-
tiles commission acts on its
rate boost. Then, perhaps,
agreement can be reached. If
not, the District Commission
ers and Congress might be will
ing to grant the company tax
relief to end the strike.
Since a direct subsidy re.
bounding to the benefit of Mr..
Wolfson probably would be po-
litically impossible, the next
move might well be to buy Mr..
Wolfson out by negotiation, or
to seize the company by spe.
cial act Of Congress or through
condemnation. The bill could
run a. high as $50 million.
This would permit tax sx-

VIRGINIA.
BY ALEX r. PRESTON

There are some 100 fewer
high schools in Virginia today
than there were 10 years ago.
The consolidation.
But rather than being a
backward step-as 1t might
appear at first glance-the
reduction has meant an in
crease in enrolment and par
ticularly has improved the
variety Of curricula taught In
rural areas by as much as two
or three times.
These facts are included in
findings Of a study just COM
pleted by DR.. Francis @. Lank-
ford, jr., University of Vir-
ginia professor of education.
and George w. Jennings, di-
rector of research of the State
Chamber of Commerce. The
survey was under the cham
ber'S auspices.
Bus Ride Problem
Consolidation is q painfully
slow process often interviewer
with local politics. In nearly
every county where it is car
ried out there is usually q bat
tie among citizens to get the
centralized school placed in
one section or another. No
one wants his child riding a
bus for 40 or so miles or more
a day.
The question of school con-
solidation is one of the factors
that recently prompted the
Page County School Board to
demand the resignation of
Supt. Cecil c. Graves under
threat of being fired. It Is in
terwoven in a squabble now
going on in adjoining Shenan-
doah County where steps al
ready have been taken to f.
nance a school on q pay-as-
you-go basis.
BY the end Of next fiscal
year. Shenandoah will have
about $160,000 set aside for
school construction out Of spe-
cial levies already approved.
Until now the period Of
transition In view of the ST.
preme Courts segregation de-

ces, by passage Of legislation
permitting o county to Join
another county or city In oper-
ating Q single school. One such
school for Williamsburg and
James City County win open
this fall for white children.
Charlottesville and Abe
marie County have been
jointly maintaining the Burley
High School for Negroes since
the fall Of 1851. In 1858 Abe
marie replaced six white high
schools with the Albemarle
High School. Coincident with
that, 1t raised its 1i-year
school system to IL years.
Before consolidation, the six
smaller schools offered from
II to 80 units Of instruction.
Now the consolidated school
offers II.
Another example in North
ern Virginia is In Frederick
County where six small schools
offered from 18 to % units
each but after consolidation in
1850 now offer 81 units.
Chomber's Findings
The chambers survey made
q summary of its findings
which said in part:
"Virginia's low rank among
the States in per cent of young
people Of high school and COL
lege age who are enrolled in
schools is disturbing. Further
Improvements in the high
school curriculum through con-
solidation and diversification
Of offering should help"
In their recommendations,
the surveyors stated:
I'm the small high schools
Of rural Virginia it is impossi-
BILE to provide suitable educa.
tion except ct excessive cost.
Inadequate physical facilities
and limited offerings prevail
in these schools.
Further consolidation Of
such small units must be ef-
fected If these conditions are
to be corrected to provide for
the children who attend them
an education better suited to
their individual needs"

MARYLAND
Integrotion Program
Proceeding Steadily

no county and has an autono-
NOUS school system. abolished
racial segregation in its class
rooms last fall (but stuck by
its longtime practice Of segre-
eating the sexes in boys and
girls senior high schools.
All the other county boards
Of education have been discuss
ing the problem and have
either appointed or are about
to appoint desegregation study
groups. Some of the counties
can be expected to move more
cautiously than others because
a higher proportion Of Negro
pupils makes the transition to
integration a more difficult
one.
Great Voriotions
Negro school enrollments
vary from so per cent Of the
total in Calvert County to none
in far western Garrett County.
They range from % to 40 per
cent on the Eastern Shore,
where lynch mobs ran ram
pant only two decades ago.
Baltimore City has a colored
enrolment of 81 per cent;
Montgomery 6 per cent; Prince
Georges 13 per cent.
Organized opposition to
school integration has been
restrained and mostly ineffec-
tive. The biggest of the pro-
segregation groups, the Mary
land Petition Committee, was
rebuffed by the Legislature
earlier this year when 1t tried
to promote q system Of private
schools for Maryland.
But regardless Of the
strength or weaknesses Of the
prosegregationists and the diff
ficulties Of desegregating in
some counties. the recent
actions and statements of high
State officials make 1t clear
that Maryland does not intend
to evade the high courts de-
cision.
Evening star., 1955-06-26
By GENE GOODWIN

While public attention in
this area has been focused on
Virginia's resistance to the
Supreme Courts decree against
school segregation, Maryland
has been determinedly moving
toward kindergarten-to-colleg
integration.
The severest blows yet
against racially segregated
public schools in Maryland
were delivered last week, how
ever, by Attorney General C.
Ferdinand Sybert and the
State Board of Education.
Mr.. Sybert issued a written
opinion that all of Maryland's
school segregation laws were
nullified by the Supreme
Courts action. He told State
school authorities that they
now are under legal compul-
sion "to make q prompt
and reasonable start toward
the ultimate elimination Of ra-
cial discrimination in public
education"
The next day, the State
school board called upon local
public school of1icials to begin
desegregating "at the earliest
practicable date"
Then. as If to show the local
school boards how it is done,
the State board abolished seq
regation in Maryland's five
teachers colleges-three of
which had been open only to
whites and two to Negroes.
Anyone familiar with Mary
lands long tradition Of setting
school policies at the State
level Immediately senses the
significance Of the State
boards action.
It came as no surprise, Of
course. Gov. Theodore n. Nc
Keldin earlier had pledged
that the State will assist and
encourage" county school au-
thorities in bringing about an
orderly end to segregation.
And DR.. Thomas G. Pullen, jr.,
State school superintendent.
had stated that there will be
no chicanery" in carrying out
the high courts decree.
Scont LocoI Enthusiasm
There has been less outward
enthusiasm for the integration
order at the county level.
where the responsibility for
ending segregated classrooms
will lie.
Except for Montgomery
County, which plans partlal
integration in the suburban
areas this fall and where q
Negro already has been ad-
mitted to summer classes at the
formerly all-white Bethesda
Chevy Chase High School,
none of the counties has
shown any willingness to in
tegrate public schools immedi-
ately.
Frederick County has come
the closest to Montgomery
with an announcement that
it plans to begin desegrega-
ton In September, 1856.

Consolidation Helps Schools

cision - Virginia has insisted
on the luxury" Of Q dual
school system.
It may have been. however,
that experience with Negro
schools pointed the way for
more efiicient and effective
operations by consolidating
several widely scattered back
woods schools into one modern
building, more adequately q
stated and Offering two to
three times rs many courses.
The Lankford-Jennings re-
port touches on this idea when
it observes: 1.-THE smaller en-
rollments in Negro high
schools made the creation Of
consolidated schools for Ne
groes a virtual necessity In
many counties"
Another factor they don't
mention is that when Virginia
began seeing the handwriting
on the wall Immediately before
the courts decision, there was
q last-minute rush to comply
with the courts previous man.
date for separate but equal"
facilities.
Separate and Superior
The localities found they
could give Negroes equal-and
in some cases, superior
schools by tearing down the
wooden shacks and combining
them all into one glass -bricked
modern structure.
The overall picture from
1923 until 1884 shows that
the number Of high schools
white and Negro-decreased
from 592 to 400. Those with
enrolment Of Is and under
decreased from "a to 90 in the
10-year period, while schools
with enrollmentS Of over 800
increased from so to las.
A significant finding was
this: Although the total num-
ber Of schools decreased by
102, there were also many
more unaccredited schools in
1929 than in 1928"

then, more and more people

have helped tighten the
vicious spiral. Transit COM
panies all over the country
started down hill. and many
have gone broke, winding up

ated concerns.
Trouble Beson in '49
To complicate the problem
here, Capital Transit was

Transit paid extremely small

investors, although it was
building up a cash reserve of
more than SO million. Then

bought control-an opportu-
nifty equally available for two
years to any similarly we'll

Since then, Mr.. Wolfson has

DISTRICT
By HECTOR MCLEAN

Fate seems to have forced
the District Of Columbia to the
brink Of an "agonizing reap
praisal" Of its relationship to
the National Capitals mass
transportation system.
The precipice will be reached
next Friday with the expira-
ton Of q labor contract be-
tween Capital Transit Com
pany and the AFL Amalga-
mated Association Of Street.
Electric Railway and Motor
Coach Employees.
It is then that a strike may
force q change in the COM
pany's status. Perhaps public
ownership will be the result.
or tax exemption. or maybe q
direct subsidy from the Dis
trict will be considered. Any
how, the chances look good
that q reappraisal will have to
be made.
At present the transit COM
pany is privately owned by a
wide range Of stockholders. A
combine headed by Louis E.
Wolfson, Florida multimillion-
aire, owns or controls more
than half the stock, however.
A Monopoly
For more than 20 years
Capital Transit has held, under
act Of Congress, q monopoly"
on mass transportation in
Washington and, consequent
". Is subject to the regulation
Of the District Public Utilities
Commission. AS o result,
though the. company may pro-
pose what rates 1t pleases, the
commission sets them, fixes
minimum levels Of service and
even tells the company how to
keep its books-and audits
them.
Conversely, the company is
legally entitled to o "fair and
reasonable" return on its In
vestment in property fused
and useful" to the riding pub
lie in the District.
At the same time, the COM
pany pays taxes--not only the
50 per cent Federal income
levy, but about 100000 a year
to the District of Columbia.
It was only recently that the
District Commissioners refused
to support a utilities commits
sion plan to exempt the COM
pany from local taxes. The
p. U. c. said the District gov
ernment could not afford to
lose the revenue.
The plan was proposed be-
cause Capital Transit is in
serious trouble. During World
War II, 1t and most other
such firms made all the profits
the law allows. But no auto
mobiles were being produced,
gasoline was rationed and so
were tires. Not many people
drove anywhere. Most of
them rode buses and street.
