MILFORD. Del, Dec. % Up
A cross was burned last night
on the property of Robert ia
euette. who protested the Mil
ford School Boards ban against
its athletic teams playing racially
integrated teams.
Mr.. Jaquette, president Of the
Milford High School Parent
Teachers Association; said he
interpreted the incident "as the
response of some persons in the
community to my stand that
since the law of the land pro-
vides for racial indignation in
the schools, making it tthe law
effective is the duty of all good
citizens"
Mr.. Jaquette and his wife
were not home at the time OF
the cross-burning. He said he
was summoned home by his -four
children, ranging in age from 10
to II. The children told him
Mr.. Jaquette said, that they

'MayBeNoved
Study to Determine
II Switch Feasible
BY WILLIAM A. N1ILLEN

An engineering study will be
made on the possibility Of NOV
ing the historic old Engine House
at Nineteenth and H streets
NV.
The decision was reached
today in a meeting with the Dis
trict Commissioners.
The International Monetary
Fund. which wants to erect its
new building at that site, indi-
Gated that it would seek to work
out a financial arrangement with
the Association of Oldest Inhab-
itants to move the old building
elsewhere. Under this program,
both the fund and the associa-
ton would share in the expense,
Commissioner Samuel Spencer
explained after the meeting.
The meeting was advised of
the possibility of having the fire
engine house moved to the
campus of George Washington
University. Commissioner Spen-
Ger said he had talked informal
ly to President Cloyd Heck
Marvin of George Washington,
who had indicated the university
might favor erecting the build
ing on the campus.
While the Commissioners did
not take any final position on
the problem, Commissioner
Spencer asserted:
eve indicated that it seemed
to be a reasonable situation
either to transfer. the old fire
engine house house or build it
anew on another site. We could
see advantages to the associa-
ton in this because it could
then have a permanent home"
Commissioner Spencer declared
that the General Services Admin
Iistration feels that 1t has the
legal power to transfer the old
fire engine house property to the
international Monetary Fund
but only with the Commissioners
concurrence.

ltrict Government would pay part

Stanley 70 Ask
Preservation OF
Public Schools
Will Urge Assembly
To Maintain
Virginia System

RICHMOND, Dec. % tP.-
Gov. Stanley today said he will
recommend strongly" to the
General Assembly that the con-
stitutional guarantee for the
preservation of public education
in Virginia be maintained.
"Since the Supreme Courts
decision on May. 1854, all of my
efforts. those of the Commission
on Public Education. and those
of the General Assembly have
been to ameliorate the effect OF
the decision and still preserve
our public school SYSTEM" the
statement said.
LAS I stated in my address to
the General Assembly on Nov.
80, 1885" the statement contin-
ued. 1.-The commissions recon-
mendations bear promise of "at-
tanning two essential detectives,
namely:
/. Avoidance of enforced inte-
grafton of the races in any of
our public schools, and
2. Maintenance of educational
opportunities for the boys and
girls in all sections of Virginia
despite the wide variation in
problems and density of white
and Negro populations.
Aim Is to Preserve
1T has not been-and is not
now-my intention to injure the
public school system of Virginia,
but rather to preserve it."
Gov. Stanley's statement came
after former Gov. Colgate w
Darden. jr., asked such a re-
assurance for voters in the jan
uary 9 constitutional convention
referendum. Voters then will
decide if Section l4l of the Vir-
ginia Constitution should be
amended to provide tuition
grants for children whose par
ents object to sending them to
integrated schools.
1t also came on a day when
Delegate Robert Whitehead of
Lovingston had urged Gov.
Stanley and the General AS
sembly's top officers to publicly
assure the people" they WIN APP
ply the full weight Of their pow
ers to retain laws providing for
Statewide maintenance of the
public school system.
Declined Early Comment
Gov. Stanley earlier had de-
clined comment on Mr.. Darden's
request other than to say such a
announcement would confuse
the people on the issues involved.
Today he conferred with his
Office aides by telephone from his
vacation cottage at Hobe Sound,
near West Palm Beach. Fla.
Aides then issued the statement
in Gov. Stanley's name.
This statement is issued" the
statement read, "in order to

have been created by the COLI

lie Education will destroy. OF

Let it be clear that the pur-
pose OF the recommendations is

already has been inflicted upon
