star stan Correspondent

RICHMOND, Nov, 30.-Gov
Stanley today called on the Vir-
ginia General Assembly to make
haste in taking its first step to
deal with the problem of public
school segregation.
''If we are to safeguard our
rights and maintain an educa-
ton system" he told the special
session Of the Legislature which

CONVEYED at noon. at is impera-
tive TO act now on this question. -
Even before his proposals.
recommendations of the Gray
Commission, which he ap-
pointed - were formally SUBJ
niitted. they ran into opposition.
Spearheading the opposition
was Delegate John c. Webb Of
Fairfax and other northern Vir-
ginians. Mr.. Webb was organ
izing resistance which could de-
lay action on the Gray Commits
sion proposals for so days.
Has Plan Of Own
Mr.. Webb said he had a plan
Of his own to present to the
joint session later today. With
him in the move to delay ac-
ton were Mrs. Kathryn Stone
Of Arlington, Omer L. Hirst Of
Fairfax, and Armistead Boothe
Of Alexandra.
Mr.. Webb reiterated today his
feelings that the group has suffi-
eient strength to hold up plans
for a limited constitutional con-
vention.
But the Gray Commission at
a morning meeting behind closed
doors decided to stick by its guns
In calling for the early conven-
tion as its members grew more
confident Of their ability to whip
the Webb move.
The bill submitted by Gsp.
Stanley carries an emergency
clause. requiring q four-fifths
vote Of members voting in each
house. Without the emergency
clause action on the bill would
have to be deferred for so days,
when the Assembly would be In
regular session.
Mr.. Webb and his supporters
claim sufficient strength to block
q four-fifths vote in the House
Of Delegates. They do not. how
ever, say they can kill the bill
without the emergency clause
because it would then require q
simple majority.
Would Educate Public
The Fairfax delegate said that
the 6O-day period would be use
ful ito educate the public to the
fact that the whole scheme would
undermine the public school sys-
tenn
The commission was reported
to have decided to pass up taking
any stand ON Q proposed resolu-
ton Of interposition by which
the Legislature would declare the
Supreme Courts decision null
and void.
A spokesman said, however.
the commission might get be-
hind the idea at the regular ses-
sion beginning In January.
Meantime, Delegate John
Boatwrigft Of Buckingham and
State Senator Harry Stuart Of
Russell County were readying
resolutions on interposition In an
Individual effort to obtain action
on the matter.
Senator Charles r. Fenwick

U.S. Urged to Expand
Office Of Education
L-orger Role
For Advisory
Unit Sought
By JAMES G. DEANE

Expansion of the Federal Of
fee of Education was recom-
mended today by the White
House Conference on Education.
A conference report urged
that the education Office be
given a bigger staff so it can
provide more research and adj
visory service to the Nations
schools.
A number of delegates, it was
learned, wanted the Office sey-

cred from the present Depart
ment of Health, Education and
Welfare and given cabinet
status.
Not Mentioned in Report
This proposal was not mem
toned in the formal report. But
conference leaders who drafted
the report said they will seek
to have it added as a minority
suggestion.
The recommendation on the
Office of Education, which drew
q quick expression of gratifica-
ton from Education Commis-
sioner Samuel M. Brownell, came
just before the conference got
a non-committal sendoff on q
discussion Of Federal aid to
schools.
Frank C. Moore, former New
York Lieutenant Governor and
chairman of the National Con-
ference Committees finance sub
committee, told delegates at the
Sheraton Park Hotel that school
financing yardstickc raised
doubts as to the economic ability
of certain States to adequately
assist their localities in raising
the standards Of education" to
levels already recommended BY
the current conference.
Cites Legal Barriers
Calling for an attack at all
levels to remove legal barriers
to state and local school financ-
ing. the New Yorker said that
some States have made little
Ior no effort" in this direction
And he asked:
"Can Federal aid be provided
so that 1t will encourage rather
than discourage State and local
efforts to eliminate these OBJ
|stacles?" Some school districts,
along with States. have been
less eager" to meet their own
needs than they should be, Mr.. /
Moore asserted.
The proposal to expand the
education Office was included In
Ia report on school organization
problems. the second of six prob
lens to be covered by the con-
ference. /
Although the report did not
mention cabinet status, it urged
giving the education Office a
more important position in the
Government.
Cautions on Contact
The report said the Office Of
Education should provide ma
tional leadership of the sort
represented BY the current con-
ference. 1t cautioned. however.
that the contact of the Federal
Government with the country's
schools should be confined to the
State level and not be with local
school boards except as mu-
tually agreed by the three
levels"
The Federal education agency,
now headed by a commissioner
DR.. Brownell-who is subordi-
nate to the Secretary of Health,
Education and Welfare, long has
been regarded as understaffed
by many educators.
IE two meetings last night at
which conference discussion
leaders dealt with the status Of
the office, it was reported that
a number of conference dele
gates had urged giving cabinet
