TO some degree apathy is current in
Virginia. The ma jority Of the people are
looking to the Governors School Study
Commission to evolve plan or plans which
will be within the framework Of the forth
coming implementation Of the Supreme
Courts decision. and keep in effect segre-
gated schools. The Commission met in
Richmond for portion of two days this
week but no plan was announced nor is it
believed that plan has been decided upon.
The Commission has a tough assignment
and it is quite probable that no plan will
be forthcoming for some time yet. so far
as we have been able 10 learn no one in the
seventeen affected States has announced
definite plans for the future. Yet the peo-
pie are looking to the state officials to
maintain school system. on a segregated
basis That is the situation as we now see
it.
If immediate indignation is ordered by
the Supreme Court the school systems of
these states will be in chaos, probably
abandoned temporarily. If Indignation is
forced the communities will be in chaos.

cross-section of Negro opinion was not
recorded, due to the relatively small return
Of the questionnares. II the poll is ndi-
cative of the sentiments OF the people Of
Richmond we find a city divided almost
equally according to race.
The survey is revealing as up until this
time we had felt compelling apathy
existed among city people. Cities are we'll

make coming for schools relatively simple,
thus maintaining segregation Just what
will happen in the cities If the housing bar
rier is broken through, we do not know. but
with sentiment Of segregation equally
divided along racial lines. we can see a real
problem.
Although we have confidence in the
Governors School Study Commission to
explore every avenue to maintain an efh-
Client school system, and to conduct IT on
a segregated basis, we are not unmindful
of the complexities they face. We are not

planned for the future, namely FPC, non
segregated hotels, restaurants. parks, etc
1t is logical to assume that the NAACP Will
continue its efforts so long az sufficient
funds are provided, and litigation will be
unendng for years to come, to the detri-
ment of both races and the South partlcu-

of Virginia begin to take an active interest
in the problems at hand and those IN the
offing, great hardship may be imposed
upon the people of both races.
We believe it our duty to warn the peo-
pie of Virginia that indignation can be
forced upon schools unless much of the
present apathy is overcome and DEFINITE
stands be taken by the people in their de-
termination to maintain a system OF pub

Burns Victim
Condition Fair

Mrs. Edith Lewis, 81, was re-
ported in fair condition at Sibley
Hospital today after her rescue
yesterday by firemen from her
blazing one-room apartment at
1909 H street NV.
F1remen discovered Mrs. Lewis
lying on the bathroom floor after
she previously had pleaded with
neighbor. Mrs. Elaine Osborne,
to open the apartment door and
let her out.
She couldn't open the door,
Mrs. Osborne said, as it was
locked. Firemen forced it, but
thought Mrs. Lewis has fled from
the third-f1oor apartment by a
fire escape.
AS the flames were put out
and the smoke lifted firefighters
found the bathroom door, hid
den by the opened apartment
door, and went in. Mrs. Lewis
was on the floor.
She had suffered some smoke
inhalation. firemen said, and
had been burned slightly on the
arms and legs-apparently be-
fore fleeing into the bathroom
They said an overstuffed chair
and a couch in the small apart
ment were burning and that
flames were going up the wall.
Cause of the fire was not i'm
mediately determined.
