Boys and Girls States
Solve Dance Problem

ANNAPOLIS. June % (P.-
A short-lived and somewhat
confusing feud between Boys
State and Girls State ended
yesterday when the girls agreed
to allow seven Negro boys to
bring Negro dates to Friday
nights joint inaugural ball.
Earle r. Poorbaugh, Boys
State director, said the plan
would be Satisfactory" with
the boys, who had voted unani-
mously to boycott the affair if
their Negro delegates were not
allowed to dance.
The boys action came after
the Boys State director reported
the girls had decided against
inviting the Negroes, although
the girls head said her group
had not even issued an invita-
ton to Boys State for the dance.

Stanley Holds
School Talks
Officials Discuss
lntegrution Issue

RICHMOND, June % (P.-
Virginia's public school policy
for the coming year in the light
of the United States Supreme
Courts integration decree was
being discussed here today by
Gov. Stanley and members of
the State Board of Education.
Also scheduled to take part in
the talks at the Governors Office
were Attorney Gen. j. Lindsey
Almond, jr.. and tive other at
torneys-David Mays, counsel for
the State Commission on Public
Education, and Archibald Rob-
ertson an attorney for the
Prince Edward County School
Board.
The conference was requested
by Stanley to consider a dec
laration of policy" that Virginia
will continue to operate segre-
gated schools in 1856. That
was the recommendation of the
Education Commission, June 10,
and the Governor asked today's
meeting shortly after the COM
mission reported to him.
Besides making its segregation
recommendation, the 32-man
commission said it felt a special
session of the General Assembly
Should not be called at this
time" 1t added, however, it was
considering plans that require
numerous, involved and complies
changes" in Virginia's education
laws.
There has been no elaboration
of what the commission meant
either from its chairman-State
Senator Garland Gray of Waver-
ly-or other members.
Prince Edward was defendant
in the Virginia segregation case,
one of five in which the Supreme
Court ruled school segregation
unconstitutional. On May /, the
court ordered integration of
schools with all deliberate
speed"
The Prince Edward Board OF
Supervisors since has voted not
to appropriate funds for public
schools next year. A corporation
has been set up in the county to
raise funds by public subscrip-
ton to pay the salaries of the
county's white school teachers.
In another segregation devel-
opment yesterday, the Stafford
County Board of Supervisors re-
fused to go ahead with a refer
endum on a 100000 bond issue
for school construction.
The bond issue, intended for
two white elementary schools,
had been approved earlier this
year by the board. A date for
the election never was set, how
ever. because plans had to be
revamped when it was found a
member of the school board that
originally proposed the issue had
never qualified for his position
In addition. the supervisors
approved a resolution asking
Gov. Stanley to call a special
session of the General Assembly
to deal with the Supreme Courts
school integration order.

There already is a draft-Dai-

Because of the Republicans S
widespread reputation for ability

f1cult for an outsider to come
to the realization that he could
have formidable opposition.
But he has. The Byrd Demo-
cratic organization has more
than one good reason to get
him out of the way.
Mr.. Dalton took into his Rad
ford law Office Richard E. Poff
as a partner. Just after the
latter got out of school. Since
then, Mr.. Poff has twice been
elected to Congress from the
9Th District. This has created
considerable unrest for politi-
cally ambitious Democrats in
this area.
Then Mr.. Dalton literally
scared the daylights out of the
Democrats in his race against
Mr.. Stanley.

SEND A KID TO CAMP
Vocation Stands Out
In FunIess Childhood

You never know about the
things a child will remember.
Janet, 10, went to camp last
year. played games, almost
learned to swim, and, as she
told her mother, got good ex-
ercise."
But her most vivid memory
is of the time they didn't have
regular dinner, but instead got
together and cooked hamburgers
with cheese on them.
Janet doesn't have as much
opportunity to have fun as many
little girls do. Her father is
dead, and her little brother is
crippled Even though he can
walk with braces and crutches,
he still requires a great deal of
care and takes up most of his
mothers time.
Given Assistance
Welfare aid keeps the John
sons going in their home in a
Government housing project.
With Michael crippled since he
was born. Mrs. johnson hasn't
been able to work.
At times, Janet has to watch
Michael, but she's always been
real nice about that" her mother
says. Michael tries to play games
like jumping rope with Janet
and her friends by standing up
on his crutches and turning the
rope.
Mrs. Johnson knows about a
funless childhood. Her own
mother died when she was nine
and. with five children younger
than she, IT didn't have much
time to play" she said.
She wants Janet to have again
this year the good food, good
play and good exercise" she told
her mother she enjoyed at camp
last year.
Gift Necessary
That won't be possible unless
some kind person gives her that
trip.

Janet vivid memories to last
through another year of re-
sponsibility that came too early.

students enrolled during the

Schooi officials would not talk
freely about the controversy
after yesterdays meeting. One
official. who asked not to be
quoted. said DR.. Whitehead had
taken part in several conferences
with top officers about the plans,

This official also said that the
assignment to head the new
graduate program was regarded
las a particularly important one.
since lack of any courses lead
ling to higher degrees has long
been considered a particular
weakness in both the city col
|leges.
For ID. C. Teachers
A main purpose of the expan-
sion is to permit the District to
train its own teachers for high
school assignments, for which
masters degrees are required for
permanent status. The two coll
|leges have offered only bache-
|lor's degrees.
DR.. Butchers intimation that
DR.. Whitehead was being dis
terminated against came as a
particular surprise, officials said,
i'm view of DR.. Hager's record.
DR.. Hager has long been an OUT
spoken advocate of integration
of the two colleges, which he first
proposed publicly more than five
years ago.
No date was set for the special
board meeting. DR.. Corning sug-
'gested the session be scheduled
during the week of July 4, and 1t
presumably will be set when the
board convenes for regular
meeting on July /.
The board voted yesterday to
name the merged teacher college
the District of Columbia Teach
ers' College. This was over the
objection of Col. West A. Hamil-
ton, colored board member, who
urged that the names of the
present colleges be combined.
Sidesteps Matter

status of department heads, 'an-

Board members yesterday de.
cided to hear DR.. Matthew j
Whitehead, president of Miner
Teachers College. personally ex.
plain his objections to new jot
assignment proposed for him BY
Supt. Hobart M. Corning.
DR.. Whitehead. president Of

the last two years. is slated te
be one of three deans of the
new college under a merger plar
already partly. approved by the
board. DR.. Walter E. Hager
president of Wilson Teachers
College, already has been named
president.
Yesterday DR.. Corning pro-
lposed that DR.. Whitehead be
given responsibility for oversee
ling a new graduate-level pro-
gram to be developed by the
combined college. He also would
supervise in-service teacher
training and the summer ses-
sionS.
DR.. Margaret j.. Butcher, col
ored board member, strenuously
objected to this proposal. She
termed it a demotion and said
DR.. Whitehead should be given
a chance to argue his case III
person.
The board member also
charged that the colored coll
llege official had not been given
adequate opportunity to discuss
his wishes with DR.. Corning and
other supervisors.
DR.. Corning made no reply to
this at yesterdays meeting. He
said only that DR.. Whitehead
had made his position known in
a letter. which had been read to
board members at closed meet
ing Tuesday.
The contents of the letter were
not made public, and DIR. White
head himself last night refused
to discuss it, other than to say
DR.. Corning had not yet an
swered it.
Walter N. Tobriner, chairman
OF the boards Personnel Com
mittee. said after the meeting
however, that the Miner presi-
dent had indicated he felt his
qualifications fitted him better
for some other assignment. An
other board member said DR.
Whitehead has expressed a de-
sire to be dean of instruction.
Slated for DIR. Carr
The dean of instruction post
- which would be concerned
with supervision Of undergradu-
ate studies-is Slated. under DR..
Corning's plan. for DR.. Paul A.
Carr, who has been a professor
of history and has been acting
as dean and registrar at Wilson.
Another post--that of dean of
students in charge of counsel
ing and student activities-has
been proposed for. Miss Hope
Lyons, who has had a similar
post at Miner.
DR.. Butcher, in criticizing the
handling Of DR.. Whitehead S
Ireassignment, said he had not
been called in until June 8 to
be advised of his new duties.

Gated she felt DR.. Whitehead
