u. n. Protests
MIG Attack
On Sabrejets

MUNSAN, Korea, May Is up.
The United Nations command
charged today that the attack by
Communist MICS on American
Sabrejets Tuesday "over inter-
national waters" of the Yellow
Sea was ''unprovoked." Peiping
Radio declared the Sabres had
"intruded over northeast China"
| Peiping's broadcast a few hours
after the U. N. commands pro-
test to the military armiStice
commission quoted the Reds Of
fetal Peoples Daily as declaring
Tuesdays incident was a pre-
meditated act of aggression"
The U. N. protest and Peiping
radio also disputed on losses in
the eight-minute air battle.
The U. N. protest said the
Sabres. attacked some SIS miles
southwest of Sinuiju were
obliged to defend themselves and
in so doing destroyed two or more
MIG aircraft while sustaining no
losses"
Claim Sabre Downed
Peoples Daily said one Sabre
jet was shot down and two were
damaged. 1t called the United
States report of two MICS
downed and two probably de-
stroyed a "brazen wilful perver.
sion of the truth"
1t said Chinese fighters rose
10 intercept them (the SabresD
and shot down one and damaged
two. These are the facts"
In the protest the U. N. COM
mand charged the Reds were
"endeavoring to utilize" Korean
bases as privileged sanctuary"
The protest through the Mill
tary Armistice Commission told
the Chinese and North Korean
members:
You are officially warned
that if the aircraft of our side
| ale attacked they will defend
themselves"
Fifth Air Force Sabre pilots
said they shot down two MICS
and probably destroyed two more.
They said they were attacked
by 80 MICS. No American
plane was hit, they said.
Acknowledged Chinese
The U. N. protest did not
specify the planes were Red Chi
neSe, acknowledged by Peiping
radio. 1t did not specifically
charge. either. that the MICS
operated from Korean airflelds.
But it said, THE fact that you
are now endeavoring to utilize
the armistice to provide Q
privileged sanctuary IN Korea
for your aircraft, similar to that
enjoyed by your side in utilizing
bases north of the Yalu River
during the period of hostilities, is
becoming apparent to the world"
The protest was sent through
the Korean truce machinery on
instructions of the State Depart
ment.

On January 8, Mr.. Newton, q

(Some say Mr.. Newton, as a
member of the Democratic
State Central Committee, ear
lier had led opposition to that
groups nomination Of Senator
Norris as lieutenant governor
unless the Senator renounced
Eisenhower and pledged to
support Gov. Stevenson. Sen
ator Norris, q strong sup
porter of Senator Byrd, re-
signed as a presidential elector
and no public statement sup
porting Cow Stevenson was
made. The committee nomi-
mated A. E. s. Stephens to sue
coed the late 1t. Gov. Preston
Collins.) 9 ,e.T
About an i1onr after Mr.. New
ton made his announcement
William d. williams, former
mayor Of Colonial Beach and a
political ally of Senator Norris
Iand Mr.. Murphy. became the
second Northern Neck candidate
for the Office.
When Mr.. Galleher was quoted
sometime In February as stating
lhe was In the race to stay,
Northern Neck politicians re-
called their bitter experience OF
splitting the vote in the 1850
congressional fight.
For awhile it looked as II
neither of the two Northern Neck
candidates would withdraw. It
lis known that Commonwealth 8
Attorney Stanley A. Owens Of
Manassas was importuned to
Eenter the race.
Change Came In February
Some figured that II the
Northern Neck vote was going
to be split, then the Prince Will
liam vote could be split, too
between Mr.. Galleher and Mr..
Owens. Mr.. Owens said he was
considering the idea, but turned
lit down.
Finally. on February %, things
began to jell. Mr.. williams elm
mated himself. He said he would
support Mr.. Newton.
Charles r. Unruh, who was
defeated by Mr.. Murphy two
years ago for the House Of Dele
gates, had been expected to
oppose Mr.. Murphy again this
year. But Mr.. Murphy an
|nounced he, would not run for
the Senate as he said In Janu-
|ary he might, and would run for
the House again.
Mr.. Unruh announced he had
decided not to run against Mr..
Murphy for the House.
All Of those announcements
came at once.
So that's how the pieces fell
into place. Senator Norris had
graciously bowed out, the North
ern Neck ended UP with only one
Senatorial candidate and Mr..
Murphy. who was standing ready
to oppose Mr.. Galleher If neces-
sary. found 1t wasn't necessary
at all. He could run for the
House again without opposition
from his old adversary, Mr..
Unruh.

Norfolk School
Action Studied
Move to lntegrute
Weighed by State

RICHMOND. Va, July 4 R.--
Virginia officialdom pondered
the school problem today with
some new and different food
for thought-the Endorsement
by a major school division Of
the principle of integration.
The Endorsement came from
the School Board of Norfolk, the
States largest city, and repre-
sented q sizable crack in the
solid wall of official opposition to
anything that would mix the
races in Virginia public schools.
The Endorsement of the idea of
integration was qualified, how
ever, by the boards expression
that it did not believe that "the
customs, habits or prejudices Of
over a century could be
abolished overnight by decree.
Law Would Be Changed
1t assumed, the board said,
that the State law would be
changed and In the manner re-
quired by the Supreme Court
decision Of May 81. It added,
however, that an unstudied ap-
Iproach to the explosive prob
lem might result in "disintegra-
ton" rather than integration OF
the school system.
The ones presently concerned
with alterations OF the State
law-the State Commission on
Public Education--are believed
near the completion Of a legal
formula to offer q special ses-
sion Of the General Assembly.
The 11-man executive commit
tee Of the 32-member legislative
commission meets here Tues
day night and Wednesday,
ostensibly to speed up the final
draft of legislation to offer a
later meeting Of the full COM
mission.
Special Session Seen
There was a recurrence of
speculation. too. that Gov. STAN
ley is almost certain to call a
special session Of the General
Assembly-with the exact time
unknown. A number of legisla-
tors feel the call should come
soon-not later than the last
week in July If the necessary
constitutional and statutory
changes are to be made in time
to. meet the goal set by the COM
mission and indorsed by Gov.
Stanley. This goal is the pre-
vention Of enforced integration
in the schools.
Another group feels, though,
that there Is no rush needed for
a special session since the State
can probably get through an
other year without integrated
schools. The official policy de-
clafed by the Governor Is to
proceed on the basis of segrega-
ton for at least another school
year.
A three-judge Federal court
has set July Is for q hearing on
the decree affecting Prince Ed
ward County-the county whose
school case was one Of five in
volved in the Supreme Court
decision.
As of now, 1t appears Prince
Edwards defense will be it can't
be forced to integrate q system
that is non-existent. The county
moved TO scrap its school system
by refusing TO appropriate local
operating funds. i

BY ALEX r. PRESTON


Intrigue, a political object les.
son and a geographic anomaly
are some Of the cunponents OF
virgthia's 2sth. state Senatorial
District campaign.
Opponents in the July u Dem
ocratic primary are:
John Galleher, 55-year-old
founder Of the Young Democratic
Clubs Of Virginia and a Manassas
publisher.
Blake T. Newton, IS. of West
moreland County. president OF
the State Board Of Education for
the last eight years and a men,
ber Of that body since 1927.
Their field Of battle is a mon
strous new district that runs 18C
miles, all the way from the fringe
of the Washington Metropolitan
Area down to the lower Chesa-
peake Bay. 80
The fight boils down to one
of two widely-separated areas
with widely-separated problems
and interests, each trying to'elect
zone Of our own kind"
Candidates Are Friends
The two candidates are per-
sonal friends. MIR. Galleher's
wife is a member Of the State
board which Mr.. Newton heads
In their rigorous person-to-per-
son handshaking tours through
the hustings, their paths cross
occasionally. When this happens
likely as not. they can be seen
shaking hands and taking q few
minutes out chatting together
over a cooling soft drink in a
drug store. Then they 60 their
separate ways.
Mr.. Galleher is expected to
draw heavily in populous Prince
William. Furthermore, there are
a number of local races--for
treasurer, sheriff, Common
wealth's attorney and all Of the
supervisors--that have stimu-
lated voter interest there.
The areas principal economy
is tied into milk and lumber
production. In recent years,
large housing developments have
sprung up, principally around
Manassas and Quantico, thus
swelling the county's voter list.
Mr.. Newton, on the other hand,
Is identified with the five-county
Northern Neck--sparsely popu-
lated and, in places, desolate-
next to Tidwater Virginia. The
livelihood Of its citizens depends
upon truck farming and CONNER
cial fishing, chiefly.
Added to the picture Is the
fact that except for one or two
local races, there appears to be
widespread apathy among voters
in this years Senate contest.
After talking with party leaders
and citizens, the impression is
gained that nearly everybody in
Northern Neck is for Mr.. Newton.
But will they turn out to vote?
Headed Schools Al Years
Mr.. Newton is somewhat of an
institution" there. In addition to
his Is years service on the State
Board Of Education, he resigned
last fall after Al years as school
superintendent for Richmond
and Westmoreland Counties. He
took the job at the age of %.
No responsible Northern Neck
county official believes Mr.. CAL
leher will carry q single county
there.
AS for Mr.. Newton. he is con-
fident Of his chances. He figures
that based on results Of the
dispirited primary cam
paign between Gov. Stanley and
