The Federal Government will
step in and educate the children
of Southside Virginia if localities
there abandon public schools
Delegate Armistead L. Booths
told an Alexandria audience last
night.
Mr.. Boothe and his successor,
Delegate-elect James M. Thorn
son. spoke before full house of
more than $50 at a meeting of
the Minnie Howard School PTA.
MI. Boothe becomes a State
Senator next month.
They took opposite views on
the referendum January 9 on
whether a constitutional conven-
ton should be called in accord
ance with recommendations of
the Gray Commission.
School Threat Seen
Mr.. Boothe said the plan to be
drawn up under the amendment,
allowing State tuition payments
to private schools, is threat to
the public school system.
Mr.. Thomson termed this
view "hogwash." He said he be-
lieves the issue OH January 9 is
whether you're going to force
white children to go to school
with colored children"
my little baby" he said,
isn't going to an integrated
school and I mean it." He
said he will continue to support
the Gray plan even If a majority
of Alexandrians vote against it.
Mr.. Thomson said amendment
OF Section l41--forbidding State
grants to private schools-would
have no effect on Section 1879
requiring the State to maintain
free public schools.
Mr.. Boothe said that, If the
Gray Commission had followed
early suggestions after the Su-
preme Court decision and recon-
mended repeal of 129, that would
have been shooting the public
schools with a pistol" Amending
al. Mr.. Boothe said, sis killing
the public schools with poison. u
Fav0rS Another Section
He said he is not an integra-
zionist and has mo respect what
soever" for the NAACP. He said
he favors another part of the
Gray report calling for a pupil
assignment system.
Under this system, Mr.. Boothe
said. there will not be a Negro
child in a white school in South
side Virginia within the lifetime
OF many Of us"
In Alexandria. he said, proper
administration of the assignment
plan would mean that only "a
few outstanding Negro children
would attend integrated schools
He said that all colored children
living within a school district
would not be assigned to that
school, because of the assign
ment factors that would be con-
Sidered.
InyalidatiOn Predicted
1.-THE Gray program" Mr..
Boothe said, lis a mirage, a false
hope. a dream that cannot be full
filled" He predicted that the
Supreme Court would find the
tuition program invalid within
three years.
Mr.. Thomson said he believes
the plan is constitutional.
The Delegate-elect also men
toned 1.-THE religious issue" which
he said had been brought into
the campaign. He said no min
listers had reason to become in
volved in the program because
the Supreme Court has forbidden
State grants to parochial schools.
If the Gray plan is turned
down. Mr. Thomson said, then
your tax dollars are going dnun
to Southside Virginia to pay for
education in counties that will
abolish public schools rather
than integrate."
Mr.. Boothe said such action
will bring Federal Government
action to make sure that all the
boys and girls of the United
States are educated"

WILL had been read again, finally
signed and taken home, the tragedy
would not have taken place.
The lawyer also made himself
the executor of the two WILLS.
This would give him advantage in
collecting the money alledgedly

balance of the money. Yet, to make
an attorney executor is a common
practice where banks with Trust

They Lied-But When
While a New York grand jury
was seeking to determine whether
ex-COmmunist Harvey Matusow was
lying when he said he lied, up

Miami Beach divOrcee, to tell the
Federal Communication Commits
sion she also lied to the august
protectors of our airwaves.
Mrs. Natvig had testified last
October that Edward Lamb, TV
station owner of Erie. Pa, was in
trOduced to her at a Communist
party meeting in Columbus as a
party worker. Shortly after this
the Commissions hearing on re-
newal of Mr.. Lambs brOadcasting

These two instances in quick

could it be MOscOw's newest coun-

react on either the original testi-

BABSON DISCUSSES AN AMAZING STORY

BabsOn Park, Fla, Feb. II. / am
back here again for the winter
and wish to tell of tragedy oc-
curing during my absence, al
though you may have read of it in
your local newspaper.
Two Fatal Mistakes
This story involved: (D A we'll
known and able lawyer living for
many years in our community; (2)
Two very respectable and intelli-
gent well-tO-do friends of mine;
C3) Two WILLS prepared by the
said lawyer; and (4) A trigger
man" alledgedly employed to mur-
der one of my above two friends.
Now for the tragedy. The lawyer
had apparently drawn up WILLS
for these two friends. When he
submitted them to the makers, they
suggested certain corrections, ask
ing the lawyer to have the WILLS
retyped. and they would come in
again shortly thereafter for sign
ing. Fatal mistakes were apparently
made by these intelligent people
for not again reading the WILLS
before the final signing and wit
Messing, and for not initiating each
page. Nor did they take the signed
WILLS with them to a place Of
deposit. so that they might be re-
read once each year. This would
have entailed some bother, but this
would have been nothing compared
to the trouble which followed.
Importance OF Executors
The lawyer, or someone, alleged
" slipped into the WILLS a clause
leaving him a large sum of money.
This could have been done during
the retyping before the parties
finally signed; or, being typewrit-
ten WILLS, a page could have been

BACON FOR BREAKFAsT

There's certainly nothing at all remark

considerable amount of work before it's DOS

For bacon doesn't exist on the pig. In a
sense, 1t has to be manufactured.
First, the proper side of meat has to be
selected, trimmed and squared. Then comes
the curing process, for which there are hun
dreds of different recipes resulting in a va
riety of fiavOrs. Then the side goes into the
.smokehOuse, where it gets its marvellous frag-
rance. After that it is chilled and formed.
Finally, it is sliced, attractively wrapped.
and sent on its way to the store.
This is just a single example of the thou
sand and one services the packers provide for
consumers. And few industries give so much
service for so meageT profit Since 1925.

earnings of only slightly more than one cent

Miss ClOOney and told her they Just

ny to see a televisi0n personality in
the flesh after seeing them day
after day on black and white
televisiOn screen. She looked much
more vivaciOus and so colorful. She
seemed very down to earth and
showed appreciation to our girls
for recognizing her. We then went
on downtown to the Stadium and
watched them televise the telethon.
Ken Carson of the Garry Moore
show and Tommy Bartlett of We'll
come Travellers were also on stage
so the girls felt like they had had
pretty big day.
Lynne had a major catastropbv
happen to her Wednesday. In
school they had their valentine box

in the box, had sealed the envelopes
and had forgotten to sign her

sole her by saying that's the wav
they should be mailed, but If
