night on the eve Of the special
General Assembly session be-
ginning Wednesday.
The commissions 80 members

legislature will discuss ways Of
presenting the groups views in
the Assembly hearings and floor
debates.
The commission, headed by
State Senator Garland Gray Of
Waverly, recently recommended
Q program whereby localities In
Virginia would be given wide
discretion in solving the school
issue.
School Subsidization
The two chief recommends
tions Of the group were proposals
for subsidizing private education
and permitting school boards To
assign pupils to schools for rea-
sons other than race.
The purpose of the proposals
Is admittedly to sharply reduce
the effect Of the Supreme Courts
decision cutlawing segregation iD
the schools.
The special session of the
Legislature was instituted to
pave the way for q convention
that would be empowered to
amend the State constitution to
permit the subsidization Of pri-
vate schools.
Alexandria PTA Protest
AT least one educational group
has taken q stand against the
proposal. The Alexandra Coun-
Gil Of Parent Teacher Associa-
tions yesterday asked its member
units to seek "tlle defeat Of the
convention plan.
Unless the Assembly oyerrides
the recommendation Of the Gov
ernor and the commission, 1t viii
consider only one bill-to set up
o referendum to determine
whether the constitutional con-
vention shall be held.
The commission hopes the
amending process may be COM
pleted In time for the regular
session Of the Legislature early
next year to act on q compre-
hensive program for dealing
with the school problem.

Members of the Alexandria
League of Women Voters have
gone on record in opposition to
the Gray Commissions proposal
for amending Virginia's Com

Mrs. James Fort. president of

plan is entirely contrary TO
the Leagues principle Of a "sys-

for all"
The League asked Alexandria

Donovan to vote against the
calling of the referendum at the
special legislative session.
Danger to Schools Seen
Meanwhile, a Northern vir-

whether the adoption Of recon-

2. "Does separation of church
and state necessarily mean that we
cannot have religion = what you
might call sectarian religion
taught in the public schools?"
8. What are the full implica-
tions of the McCollum case?" "Un-
acceptable solutions" according to
Monsignor Ryan, are:
l. A program of moral and spir-
itual values based on purely human
grounds, as proposed by the Educa-
tional Policies Commission of the
National Education Association.
2. Any attempt to present relig-

3. The attempt to teach about re-
ligion, but not to teach religion.

as another academic subject" Mon

would not influence conduct, and
could be used almost as effectively
against religion as for it."

In his interpretation OF fhe
Supreme Court ruling, Monsis-

were TO present arguments which
could be construed as defending
religion, he could be stopped by
legal means; but If a person were
10 teach atheism or make attacks
on religion, there was no legal
way TO stop him."

But who can rule out the posi-

With that possibility in mind, the
American people ought to "consid-

problem" Monsignor Ryan said.
The three questions are:
