The real difference is between

this body is being asked to do
is to give our colored brethren
the right of segregation"

| In a discussion of Mr.. Gres-
hams motion. speakers said the
Prince Edward Board of Super
visors acted on the best legal
advice available to them in vot-
ing not to approve the school
budget May 81. They added
that the group sponsoring last
nights meeting also acted on
the best legal advice available
and the plan offered by Mr..
Gresham had not been con-
sidered by these attorneys.
Mr.. Gresham's motion was Sec
onded by the Rev. James r.
Kennedy, pastor of the Farmville
Presbyterian Church. It was
suggested that Mr.. Kennedy ex-
press his views on segregation,
but the minister said he didn't
think the meeting was the place
to do this. The Rev. Charles 0.
Kidd, pastor of Farmville's
Methodist Church, said he
thought Mr.. Gresham's motion
was in order.
Another speaker, T. w. Brooks,
jr., of Farmville, urged adoption
of the Fitzpatrick plan, however.
He said he assumed the "insti-
gators of the attack" on the seq
regated school system believed
the people of Prince Edward
would swallow the bitter pill,
but we are not going to take it. +"
Cites Other Considerations
The educators viewpoint was
expressed by James H. Bash.
principal of F'armville High
School, and DR.. Dabney S. Lam
caster, president of Longwood
College.
Mr.. Bash said teachers were
concerned with many other
things besides salaries. Among
these he said we're whether they
would lose credit on pensions by
accepting salaries from private
funds, whether they would be
dropped from medical care, and
disability programs. what build
ings and material would be avail
able. who would employ them
and to whom they would be re-
sponsible.
Another major question. Mr..
Bash said, was, whether students
in a high school operated by
private funds would get credit
for their work. All these ques-
tions, he suggested, should be
considered before any action.
Several other teachers present
said they disagreed with Mr..
Bash and considered their first
duty was to the children.
DR. Lancaster said that while
he thought the Board Of Super
visors had acted with the feel
ing it was serving the best in
terests of the people, he firmly
believed the schools could be
operated on a separate but equal
basis in the next school year,

BY the Associated Press

Some 1,400 Prince Edward
County (Va.) citizens have
agreed to raise $212,830 to pay
the salaries of white school
teachers in 1856, whether OF
not schools are operated in the
county.
The action was taken at q
mass meeting last night at Long
wood College in Farmville. 1t
was taken to assure that teach
ers will be available should the
county determine it can continue
to operate its schools on a segre-
gated basis.
There was no indication, how
ever. that plans were being made
to continue operation of the
schools in Prince Edward. M.R
Large, former chairman of the
County School Board, said, LAS
the picture is tonight, unless
there is some change of position
on the part of our Board of Su-
pervisorS, there will be no schools
operated In this county in
1886"
Acts After Court Ruling
The action followed an earlier
decision by the Board of Super
visors not to approve funds fol
the operation of Prince Edward
schools next year. The board
made its decision a few hours
after the Supreme Court decreed
May 81 that integration in the
schools should take place "as
soon as practicable"
The motion to underwater the
salaries of white teachers was
offered by Mayor w. C. Fitz-
patrick of Farmville and in
cluded authorization to charter
the Prince Edward Educational
Corp, a non-profit group to ham
die the funds.
At the close of the meeting
c. w. Glenn, treasurer, said
pledges Of $46,375 had been Sc
cured from a total of 100 persons
The action did not come with
out spirited discussion, and the
final vote to underwrite the
teachers salaries was not unan-
imous.
Substitute Motion
The motion offered by Mayor
Fitzpatrick was a substitute fol
one offered by Foster Gresham
Of Longwood College. the essen.
tial difference being that Mr.
Gresham's proposal would guar
antee the salaries of both white
and Negro school teachers.

petitioned to make a public
statement that the salaries OF

with the recommendations in re-
Ispect to institutions under its
control nor can it place the
stamp Of its approval upon rec
ommendation that sessions of
constituent churches Of this sy-
nod admit persons to member
ship and fellowship without re-
ference to race"
Views Resented
In the debate, S. H. Mccall,
jr., of Troy, N. c., declared:
THE position taken by the
1854 General Assembly puts us
in a hypocritical position. 1t
seems to me that, in asking
whether it is their intention to
Iput into practical application
the affirmative position, I have
only received side-stepping an
Swers. To say this principle is
right but cannot be applied is
to achieve an impossible posi-
ton of a Christian elder. If 1
believe something is right, I
must in my life do the best 1
can to live up to it."
The Rev. Isaac S. De Sugo of
San Antonio, Tex, told the
gathering:
II have always thought that,
ii religious beliefs do not in
clude social behavior. we might
as well leave the Messiah.
II am sure that, if the Gen.
eral Assembly rejects the major
ity report supporting the 1854
assembly position), it would bel
telling the world we have a re-
ligion that does not reach into
a mans social relation. It would
be saying our religion is good
for the church but not for the
street."
The Rev. Cecil D. Brearley, jr.
of Columbia. S. c., contended
that the 1854 action brought dis
unity into the church. He
warned it has also lowered the
esteem which our people had for
the General Assembly," has hurt
