Pro-Segregotion
Council Formed
In Charlottesville

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va,
Sept. 8 (P).-The White Citizens
Council Of Charlottesville and
Albemarle was formed here today
by a group of 70 adults who
pledged an about fight against
Indignation in Charlottesville
schools and virtually declared
war on the City Council.
George A. Cason, 25-year-old
railroad brakeman, was elected
chairman Of the local citizens
council, which chose to affiliate
with the Seaboard White Citi-
zens Council of Washington.
The decision to launch q con-
centrated assault on the city
council came after the new pro-
segregation group voted to sup
port Gov. Thomas B. Stanley's
program denying State funds to
localities which integrate their
schools.
The City Council last Tuesday
went on record as opposed to the
Governors plan and in favor of
a pupil assignment plan to COM
bat school indignation.
Mr.. Cason and Floyd Fleming
executive secretary Of the South
east Washington Citizens Coun-
Gil who addressed the mass
meeting" in McIntire Park, urged
every person present to ''harass''
members Of the City Council
with telephone calls at all hours
of the day and night"

Police Interview Hundreds
Eight Alexandria detectives
and more than a dozen FBl
agents yesterday interviewed be.

canvass of the area.
A drugstore clerk at the Mt
Vernon Pharmacy near the
robbed bank told them a woman
had commented around the time
of the holdup that she was going
into the bank but it had been
held up. The clerk wasn't sure
whether the woman meant she
had seen the holdup in progress
but police want to interview her
She was described as between 4C
and IS years old.
Police are still seeking a youth
IA or Is years old, who was
sitting in a late-model green and
cream Chevrolet in a parking lot
directly across from the bank
at the time of the holdup. The
boy told two youths that some
thing funny is going on at the
bank" but he disappeared before
police heard about his comment
Detectives said if the woman

Large Crowds Expected
AT Exhibit Homes Todoy

Big crowds of visitors to IS
Exhibit Homes all over the Met
ropolitan area were expected by
builders today. after a fast start
late yesterday in The Stars an
nual Fall Festival of Homes OBJ
Servance.
Beginning around 2 pm. yes
terday, stream of families took
advantage of bright. cool day
to start inspecting the commit
tee-Selected homes.
There's been steady stream
of people coming in since the
middle of the afternoon" one
builder reported.
Another said:
We've been very pleased with
the turnout so far and. if the
weather continues good. we ex-
pect Sunday will be a really big
day."
Build Up Towards Evening
Crowds built up especially
towards evening, several build
ers reported.
Today builders we're prepared
to greet many thousands begin
ming around noon, with the big
gest crowds expected between
2 and Z pm.

payday for city employees fact
which apparently didn't escape
the notice Of the bank robbers
in laying their plans.
A check Of the stolen station
wagon in which the bandits made
their getaway produced mate
rials"-not specified-which were
sent to the FBI laboratory yes
terday. The stolen car was found
abandoned flye blocks from the
bank.
AS Alexandria police and the
FBI ran down "possibles" select
ed from the mug shots by the two
victims, Alexandria Police Chief
Russell H. Halves was talking
about the need for a larger Al
exandria police force.
Chief Halves said the Friday
bank holdup and the $500
holdup Of an Alexandria Ma
tional Bank messenger last
March both could probably have
been prevented If more police
were patrolling Alexandria
streets.
Major Crimes Increase
Major crimes have been in
ceaSing here over the past year,
especially burglaries and car
thefts," the chief said.
The Alexandria City Council
last winter increased the police
force by 10 men, bringing it to
ITO. Chief Halves said he still
is 10 short from full strength.
Hiring in past months has just
kept pace with designations, he
said.
The lowest salary of any area
policeman is given those in Al
exandria-$3.550 annually. Chief
Halves said it was the biggest
item that diseourages men from
joining the force.
Chief Halves declined to state
the specific number Of addi-
tional men he'd like to hire,
saying he would have to talk to
the City Council before he made
the number public. He did not
indicate when he might ap-
proach the council on the matter.

Valley has occurred to many be-
cause there is a legend, which
DR.. John w. Wayland. the his
ltorian Of the Shenandoah, re-
cords, that George Washington
INTENDED to hole UP there with
his Continental Army if he were
defeated by the British.
Calls for Photography
| AS Passage Greek tumbles down
between its mountain walls to
meet the Shenandoah, every
prospect invites the photographer
to picture as you CO." The late
Wallace Nutting. New England's
photographer, would
have loved to spend a year or
two working in Fort Valley.
At an antique dealers, we
found a framed picture, dated
1856. Of the Burner Springs
Hotel in the Valley.
The picture shows two large
buildings and several bath
houses and pavilions covering
the springs There were seven
springs from which gushed seven
different types of mineral water,
lchalybeate, magnesia, lithia,
white, blue and black sulphur
and limestone water. According
to DR.. Wayland's history, three
stage coaches came to the hotel
daily during the season, from
Woodstock, from Waterlick and
from Milford (now Overall). The
hotel musicians assembled and
played at the arrival and depar-
Iture Of the coaches.
Relics Of Resort Viewed
Guests ranged between 300
and 600 during the season and
much of the work was done by
slaves. ether the hotel
burned down or was torn down
+ is not clear, but it did not oper-
ate after the Civil War. We
drove to the spot. The only relics
are couple of pavilions cover
ing the springs. Several of the
springs which gushed supposedly
curative waters, have disap-
peared. Today the population Of
the entire valley is only about
1000. most of them engaged in
farming and fruit growing.
| The valley contains a great
variety of minerals. During
World War I, manganese, which
hardenS steel. was mined there.
The first miner in the valley
was a man named Powell. He
operated before the Revolution
and made his living by minting
small quantities Of silver and
gold into coins bearing the head
of King George III. That was
old-fashioned counterfeiting.

the effect that Washington

out badly and that the Wash

although they may extend for
scores Of miles, is in the Shenan-
doah Valley or the Valley Of
Virginia. the wide expanSe
between the Blue Ridge and
North Mountain. the next
major range to the Appalachian
mountains.
Everyone who has motored
along the Skyline Drive has seen
Massanutten Mountain in the
valley below. 1t does not look
very impressive from the drive
because the Skyline wends its
way at about 5000 feet. Massa-
nutten is about 1000 feet along
its crestS. The mountains along
the west wall of the valley rise
even higher than the Blue Ridge.
The north end of the Massa-
nutten is cleft like a hairpin.
In the cleft is the 24-mile long
Fort Valley, sometimes narrow,
sometimes fairly wide. Within
the Fort Valley its mountain
walls look high enough. They
dominate the horizons left and
right and shut off any view of
the higher mountains beyond
them.
Better Than Skyline
The wooded hillsideS of the
Massanutten range are part OF
the George Washington National
Forest.
When it comes to autumn TO-
liage the Fort Valley is a much
better drive than the Skyline. It's
woods contain many of the varie.
ties of the gums, trees which be-
come far more scarlet than the
naples. Few motorists enter Fort
Valley and it is bumper to bump
er on the Skyline when the leaves
turn.
The lower entrance to the val
ley is beyond Front Royal on the
road to Strasburg. That road is
beyond the end of Massanutten
Mountain. You can see its last
peak, Signal Knob, used as a
Semaphore station during the
Civil War, ahead. Before you
reach it, you turn to the left on
Route "a. The road goes up the
valley beside Passage Creek and
the entrance is narrow and bor-
.dered by bare rocks ascending
more than 100 feet before bushes
and trees get a foothold.
1t brings to mind the legendary
Glen Doone in the Blackmore's
romance Of the West Of England
Lorna Doone."
1t was in that almost impene-
trable valley that Sir Ensor
Doone and his seven robber sons
were able to defy all armed forces
sent against them.
