Textbook Ban
|vexes Teachers

The Montgomery County
Board of Education has been
asked to assure county teachers
that its ban on a sociology text
book did not imply a general
lack of confidence in its teach
ing staff.
The request came from the
Icounty's League Of Women
Voters in a letter to Mrs. John
G. Scharf. school board presi-
dent. Copies also were sent to
other board members and to
School Supt. Forbes H. Norris.
The letter. signed by Mrs. Eliz-
abeth Rohr, president of the
league, said league members were
concerned by reports of lowered
morale among teachers as a re-
suit of the ban.
Banned Over Opinions"
The book, social Living" re-
vised editions by Paul H. Lands,
professor of rural sociology at
Washington State College. was
banned in January by a 4-3 vote
on grounds it advocated opin-
ions" The board, however. per-
mitted it to stay in school IL
braries for reference use.
I'VE are sure that it was
mot your boards intention, ip
question the merits of a spe-
Icific text" Mrs. Rohr wrote, ito
imply a general lack of conf
dence in the teaching staff or
impose limitations on the course
of study in the social science
field.
I'VE are also sure that you
must be as concerned as we are
to find that it has had that
effect: that teachers are asking
to be transferred to less con-
troversial fields; that they are
now hesitant to recommend new
material themselves; or to serve
ion committees which pass judy
ment on that recommended by
Others"
FavOrs Immediate Action
The league said it hoped that
the board would "take immediate
action to assure the staff of its
trust and confidence" The let
ter asked if the board was plan
ming to assure teachers that it
has no intention of limiting
classroom discussion of, current
social problems and if it will
continue to be the county's pol
icy to encourage the search for
new and possibly more effective
texts and other teaching tools.

RICHMOND, Mar. IL R.-
Virginia lawmakers wondered to-
day when their next call to Rich
mond will come. They have just
ended a regular 6c-day Genera
Assembly session that produced
significant legislation on many
subjects-but failed to prescribe
a clear-cut cure for the segre-
CATION problem.
Gov. Stanley's farewell mes
sage to the 140 Assembly mem
bers late Saturday indicated he
may call the lawmakers into spe-
cial session later to enact legis-
lation aimed at avoiding COM
pulsory indignation of Negro ano
white pupils.
Two frequent critics of the adj
ministration sounded a 'caustiC
note on the handling OF the
school problem. Senator Teo
Dalton, Republican leader from
Radford, said the Assembly hao
failed to provide the leglsla-
ton that will be needed in court.
Delegate Robert Whitehead, anti
organization Democratic leader
from Nelson County, said there
was inadequate and divislve
leadership" in dealing with the
problem.
One segregation measure that
did pass was the Pope resolution
against athletic Indignation at
the high school level.
Resolution of Protest
Earlier the Legislature had
given rousing approval to a reso-
luton of interposition voicing
Virginia's protest against the
Supreme Courts 1854 decision
outlawing segregation in public
schools. The resolution opposed
what was described as illegal
encroachment" on States rights
and called for an amendment
to the Federal Constitution to
spell out the authority of the
States to regulate their schools.
The Senate before adjourn
ment directed its Courts of JUS
tice Committee to prepare a re-
port on the history and ap-
plication of the historic doctrine
which holds that a State may
interpose its sovereignty be-
tween its people and the effect
of Federal order it deems an
encroachment on States rights
The committee was authorized
to have $4,000 copies printed fol-
distribution to public officials
students and other interested
persons. The report would be
designed to inform other States
and the public generally of the
nature of Virginia's school prob
lem.
During the closing hours OF
the session a proposal popped
up to tie in school funds with
maintenance of segregation. But
budget conferees discarded the
suggestion and the States $896

It was a strenuous fight all

Carmen Basilio seeming to be

of the fight. BaSilio, two-to-

solid punches but not enough to
slow down the challenger who
seemed to pace his fight better
than the champion. The last two
rounds were all SaXton, but the
