Opposed BY Boothe

Assembly Action
On Segregation

SlCdMONlJ, C)Ct. tH'Js--Deles
gate Armistead Bootle Of Alex
|andria today proposed that the
segregation issue be taken up at
the regular General Assembly in
January In preference to q spe-
|cial November session.
Mr.. Boothe voiced his feeling
|on the matter amid signs that q
number Of legislative leaders are
beginning to feel it would be a
mistake to hold the special ses-
sion In November Immediately
on the heels Of the Gray COM
missions report.
Mr.. Boothe suggested the re-
port Of the 32-member body
might be "of such q nature and
$50 nearly unanimous" that 1t
could be handled by the regular
session.
@Of the three possible courses
open to ts-an early session, the
regular session. or q special ses-
sion after the regular one-the
second would be the most desir.
able" he said.
Stanley Defers Decision
Gov. Stanley has indicated
he'll call a special session in Mo-
lvember. But he said yesterday he
would make . final decision only
after receiving the Gray Com
missions report. The commission
was set up by Mr.. Stanley last
year and given the task of for
mulating a policy whereby vir-
ginia can legally retain segre-
gated schools.
On September ~, State Sena-
tor Ted Dalton Of Radford wrote
Gov, Stanley suggesting that the
special session idea be ADAM
Idoned. Mr.. Dalton said today
his proposal had met with 'gen-
Ieral approval"
THE people want time for o
thorough consideration Of q mat
ter that so vitality affects edu-
cation in Virginia" said the
IRadford attorney. IF necessary.
q special session can be held
following the regular session. a
While going along with Mr..
Dalton's suggestion for the reg
iular session to take up the school
problem. Mr.. Boothe said he rec
Iognized the difficulties that lay
Iahead "and am perfectly WIN.
ling to 60 along with the deci-
sion Of the Governor and other
members Of the Legislature" on
the time for the session.
Arguments Are Cited
Mr.. Boothe cited the chief
argument Of those who advocate
ian early special session--that
THE school issue could be thashed
lout in time for school authori-
tiles to prepare for the 1956-57
term.
I IT feel a great many school
authorities want to know what
