Racial Plan
Divided Faculties
Proposal Gaining

RICHMOND, June 9 R.-
Virginia's Commission on Public
Education was reported today tc
be near agreement on recon-
mendation of a statewide policy
Of classifying school pupils by
such factors as scholastic at.
tainment, health and public well
fare.
The Richmond News Leader
said that under q plan gaining
support from Commission mem.
hers. all school-age pupils would
be required to register with Their
local school boards prior to the
start of each school year. The
paper said the plan would fol-
low this line:
The various school boards
earlier would have set up some
schools stated with all-Negro
faculties and others manned by
all-white stats.
After registration. the boards
then would assign pupils to
schools on the basis Of health,
education attainment and con-
siderations of the community's
welfare.
If the plan is approved by
commission members, it will be
recommended to the Governor
and the General Assembly as a
policy procedure to substitute
for the States outlawed system
of racial segregation.
Along with this plan, the COM
mission is considering recon-
to:
Repeal the States compul-
sorry school attendance laws.
2Take from the State Board
of Education a number of its
powers to set educational stand
ards and vest these powers in
local school authorities.
The 32-member commission
met behind closed doors in Rich
mond again today after a 3K-
hour session last hight.

House Group Delays Vote
On Pay Bill Until 7 uesdoy

ure, the division is so narrow
that the issue between a 7 or 8
per cent raise probably will be
decided by one vote.
On tentative show Of hands
today IL committee members
indicated they favor q 7 per
cent raise, while 10 voted for 8
per cent.
However, committee members
afterwards told reporters that
the vote was an informal one
and only made as "a show of
strength.
The three members of the 25-
member committee who were
absent are counted on by the
8 per cent hackers as being on
their side.
These members are Represen-
tatives Morrison Of Louisiana
and Davis of Georgia, Democrats
and Dubser, Republican, Of Cali
fornia. Mr.. Morrison and Mr.
Davis are out Of town while
Representative Dubser is in
Bethesda Naval Hospital re-
cuperating from an operation.
The 8 per cent hackers are
hopeful these three will be on
hand Tuesday when the COM
mittee takes a vote.
When it became apparent thai
advocates of the 8 per cent boost
did not have the necessary votes
today. Mr.. Broyhill and Repre-.
sentative Moss, Democrat, oi
California moved that the fina,
vote be deferred until Tuesday
AS the committee started its
closed meeting today. Chairman
Murray reported that he hao
received a message from the
White House declaring that the
administration favored a 7 pei
cent raise. Mr.. Murray is one
of those favoring this amount.
Earlier this week the White
House telephoned all Republican
members of this committee ask
ing that a s per cent boost be
supported but indicating that q
Z per cent compromise would be
acceptable.
Meanwhile, President Eisen-
hover is expected to sign the
8 per cent postal pay bill today
on tomorrow.

Home owners should be en-
couraged-possibly through in
come tax deductions-to provide
shelters for use in case of a nu-
clear bomb attack, Congress was
told today.
This suggestion was made by
Col. John E. Fondahl, Civil De-
fense Director for the District
He testified before a House Dis
trict subcommittee, which il

tional civil defense authority tc
the District Commissioners. in

city evacuated.

the proposed legislation before
the full District Committee soon,
Insists Plan viii Work
He added:
IF world conditions reach a
point where people think there is
going to be an attack, evacua-
ton will work" But, he said
that if conditions are the same as
they were before Pearl Harbor
when many in government said
publicly they did not believe
Japan would attack, the people
will not be convinced an attack
is eminent.
Col. Fondahl agreed that many
people would not try to leave
the city if an evacuation were
ordered. Mr.. league suggested
the number remaining might be
10 per cent, but Col. Fondahl
said 10 or 20 per cent.

call for it to be in squadron
service in 1857 or early 1858.
Designed for very high speeds
in the stratosphere, the F-102

but one of these crashed in Cal.

since the crash announcement.
However, production of the
lightweight fighter has begun or
an order of II planes, Aviation
Week has reported. Under pres
ent schedules the F-104 would
not be in squadron service until
1857 at the earliest.

month the Russians flew over
Moscow a formation of SO new

announced to spend an addi-

Area Could Be Evacuated in a Hours

But if it were found after an
hour of evacuation that there
was only 10 or Is minutes left
before expectation of an attack
the take-cover signal would be
sounded. At that, he added, the
target area would be cleared out
and people would be dispersed.
Guards and Police Last
Col. Fondahl said that Federal
agencies here are planning to
leave no guards behind if evacua-
tion is necessary. He said the
guards would help with the
evacuation and then get out at
the tail end of the procession.
The same plan would be fol-
lowed in the case of the police.
he said, and pointing out that
they would be needed to main-
tain order in the reception area.
Sherley S. Ewing, director of
the Maryland Civil Defense
Agency. told the subcommittee
his organization objects strenu-
ously to any national policy
providing that the sounding of
an alert signal should mean
evacuation. He said it was felt
that an alert should mean "at-
tention to orders" and then if
there was time for evacuation,
lit could be ordered.

ordinator for Virginia submitted
evacuation plans providing for

The Air Force is considering
a speedup in the production of
two new supersonic fighters as
a result of recent intelligence
estimates that Russia is a year
ahead Of expectations in the de-
Ivelopment Of airpower.
The two fighters, it was learned
today, are the Convair F-1o2
interceptor and the Lockheed
F-104. This is the first dis
closure of the exact types for
which production stepups are
under consideration.
Meanwhile, a spokesman said
all the North American F-100

last November following three
crashes, are now airborne. Modi-
lfications were necessary in the

less complicated to fly. The 479th
