Federal Rights Program
Block to Gray Plan

RICHMOND, April IA (P.-
Virginia's Attorney General AL.
mond said today the Eisenhower
civil rights program is intended
to block pupil assignment as 6
means of keeping the races apart
in Southern public schools.
The administration asked Con.
gress this week to create a Fed.
eral Civil Rights Commission anc
a civil rights division in the
Justice Department.
In transmitting the program
to Congress, Attorney Genera
Brownell urged. too, the elimina.
ton of the requirement that al
State administrative and judi
cial remedies must be exhausted
before a citizen may resort to the
Federal courts.
Mr.. Almond opposed the pro-
gram generally. But Mr.. Brown.
ellis proposal to do away with
State administrative and judicia
remedies. Mr.. Almond declared
lis, in my judgment, specifically
designed to prevent a State from
putting into operation a student
assignment plan"
Carolina Plan Enacted
North Carolina already has ar
assignment plan on the book.
and Virginia has one pending ir
a program designed to avoic
compulsory racial indignation ir
the public schools.
AS proposed by Gov. Thomas
B. Stanley's commission on pub.
lie education and yet to be acted
on by the General Assembly
Virginia's assignment plan would
carry with it administrative ano
judicial appeal.
Parents or guardians objecting
to the assignment given theii
children would place their OBJ
jections before the local school,
board within a stipulated period
After a board hearing, appeal
then could be taken to the cir
cult or corporation court. with
subsequent appeal by either the
parent or the school board to the
State Supreme Court of Appeals
BypaSses States
Mr.. Almond told reporters the
Brownell proposal, under the
pretense of solving this emo
tionally packed situation would
be used to prevent a State from
endeavoring to evolve a solution

Board Defers !
Sale Of Bonds

The Arlington County Board
yesterday voted to defer sale
of 81 million in sanitary sewer
bonds because of an "unfavor-
able municipal bond market"
County Manager A. T. Lund-
berg advised this course after
hearing from Gordon Bennett,
of the Local Debt Service Com
mission. The advice was based
on the outcome Of a recent bond
sale by Norfolk. The interest
rate on bids received by this
! city-which has a very high
Lbond rating-were above 34per
cent. he said. s
Arlington sale had been set
for April 26. The sewer bonds
were approved by the voters last
November.
The board decided to confer
with law enforcement officials
on the scope of the countg's
juvenile delinquency problem.
Board members yesterday agreed
to hold the meeting on a motion
by Chairman Wesley w. Cooper,
who said his proposal was
prompted by recent juvenile
disturbances"
Mr., Cooper was referring to
two mass arrests of teenagers
last month. One group had
taken part in a $1,000 rock
throwing vandalism spree. and
the second had gathered on the
rumor of schoolboy fist fight.
The conference will be held
May 2 with Police Chief William
G. Fawver, Juvenile Squad Of
ficers. and commemorative At
torney William j. Hassan. "a
These officials Will give the
Board their views on whether
new measures should be taken
to combat delinquency. If this
is the case. the Board will call
for public hearing.
The Board went on record in
favor of pending legislation that
would exempt fees to non-profit
swimming pools from the Fed
eral 20 per cent tax on club dues.
A dissenting vote was cast by
George NJ. Rowzee, jr., who said
he considered the bill "discrim-
inatory in favor of one partic-
ular group" The Boards vote
was taken at the request of the
Arlington Civic Federation.

consistent with the public well
| fare"
The Attorney General said
this proposal itself implies that
State administrative and judicial
remedies would be in violation of
the constitutional rights of the
individuals involved" and
added:
In short, it is a prejudgment
of prejudice against the State by
a manifestly prejudiced member
of the Presidents cabinet"
If Congress enacts the pro-
gram as offered and if Virginia.
Legislature enacts the pupil as
signment plan, Mr.. Almond said
appeals from such assignments
would bypass the State courts
and go directly to the Federal
tribunals.
Mr.. Almond said as far as he
knew this would be an innova-
ton.
Another damnable thing" he
added, lit would empower the
Attorney General to bring a civil
suit for damages for an indi-
vidual allegedly aggrieved.
NAACP Influence Seen
1T would make the Attorney
General legal counsel for a
plaintiff at the expense of the
American taxpayer. In effect,
he would be chief counsel for
the NAACP National Associa-
ton for the Advancement of
Colored People, He's almost
that now"
Mr.. Almond interpreted the
proposed civil rights program as
an attempt by the Justice De-
partment to create by law a
commission on civil rights.
Timed as it is. it is patiently
move of political expediency to
secure and hold the Negro vote
in the coming election" he said.
-. 1t is apparent to me that
it was politically timed-released
on Monday with the the Illinois
primary election on Tuesday
to influence the Negro vote in
Chicago"
The Virginia Attorney Gen.
eral viewed the proposed COM
mission, too, as a bureaucratic
creation with not only oppres-
sive powers but with the purpose
of enforcing sociological con-
cepts which will not be embraced
by millions of people in this
country"

Tax StudyFinds
Nearby Virginia
Realty Burden

Property owners in Northern
Virginia are carrying a larger
share Of the local tax burden
than in most other comparable
areas of the State and Nation.
This is conclusion in study
released yesterday by the Fiscal
Survey Committee of the North
ern Virginia Planning Commits
sion.
Compared to other cities in the
United States the non-property
tax revenues are less we'll
developed in Northern Virginia
than elsewhere. the survey said.
Per Capita Revenues
On per capita basis, general
revenues for 1856 budgets
amounted to 500. of which $40
was raised locally, sic came from
the State and $40 from the Fed
eral Government. Utility taxes,
an important revenue source in
Falls Church and Arlington,
added another sl1 making the
average per capita share of all
revenues, SLOT.
For the region as a whole, 90
per cent of the general revenues
from local sources was raised by
property taxes.
Fairfax County was the high
est with 81 per cent, Arlington
next with 83 per cent, Falls
Church 70 per cent and Alexan-
dria 70 per cent. Stated another
way, Fairfax property owners
paid SAC of a $50 per capita aver
age, Arlington SGT of an $40
average, Falls Church STA of S94
and Alexandria S54 OF SIT.
Real estate provides rs per
cent of all property taxes in
Northern Virginia. Most of the
remainder comes from personal
P4OlJCI " ldAES.
Income Percentage Less
The report says that while
property taxes are higher per
capita in Northern Virginia, the
percentage of taxes to income is
less than in most other areas of
the State because of the high in
come level.
The survey notes that while
property taxes are by far the
most important revenue source,
their Importance has declined
somewhat during the past 20
years.
Aside from property taxes, the
business privilege license tax
levied by all Northern Virginia
communities except Fairfax-is
the big producer in the general
revenue class.
State Payments Lower
Northern Virginians, the study
says, receives less Of its general
revenues from the State than do
most other urban and suburban
areas OF Virginia and thus is
Obliged to raise more from local
sources
The State contribution per
capita for Northern Virginia in
fiscal l953-54 was $40, among the
lowest in the State.
However, the per capita con-
tuDution from the Federal
Government was nearly SO, sec
ond only to Norfolk and far
ahead of other areas. This is
because Northern Virginia is a
Federally impacted area.

FORESIGHT VS.. HIND-SIGHT
IAN Editorial)

Much has been said and in all probability great deal
will be spoken the future of Ohio-USR 81 ira
versing thru the corporation limits of Caldwell.
There are those who will feel bitter when the de is
cast and the order is given relocate the route by
passing Caldwell entirely There those who feel that
the inevitable will happen and to try to hinder the
ment of progress is only the wasting of ones breath
Regardless of the feeling already established in the
Caldwell at present is certainly locking the door after
the horse is stolen.
The proposed improvement on Miller street. in our
opinion isn't helping to eliminate the prevailing bottle
neck" within the village of CALDWELL By present
action only inviting and encouraging the minds
of the powers that be- to the route entirely out
OF Caldwell and SOON!
To prove point of interest in helping to move
traffic more readily thru the village, we feel it is the
villages position to first and bring about an ab
soute correction Of the embarrassing position that traffic
is faced with when traversng thru the village.
The mere channeing of the drainage water from the
street is only small portion of the project but
IMPORTANT. One cannot honestly say the bottle
neck" will no longer exist with the completion of the
present phase of the improvement The project entails
much greater consideration on the part of the village
council.
Being the section that is used by the state of Ohio
to move traffic. certainly the department of highways
would be most obging to assist in this undertaking. To
at least three to four feet to the heavy traffic
accessibility necessary to adequately the
highway and make the sharp turns at either end of the
street.
The village we'll afford financially to participate
in the project and with the states cooperation Miller
street could be made into readily accessible highway
and prolong the day when Caldwell will be without the
service OF the natural gateway to the SOUTH highway
Let's be practical in approach to save the one
highway that is the lifeline to future industrial
development.
LITTLE FORESIGHT CAN BE MUCH MORE
BENEFICIAL THAN A LOT OF HIND-SIGHTi

Conservative Baptists
Plant $500 Pine Trees

Members of the Conservative
Baptist Association of Ohio met
Saturday at the Pine Lake camp
south of Caldwell with repre-
sentatives from Canton, Akron,
Crestline and Caldwell present
for the planting of 4500 pine
trees.
The project, which covered
five acres of land, was started
early Saturday morning and
tasted through the day. Under
the supervision of Frank Calvin,
u. S. Soil Conservation Service,
the 40 members present were
divided into groups of three and
the tree planting was all done by

The planting of these pine
trees was accomplished for the
conservation and Identification
of the land and Frank Calvin,
farm planner, said this was part
of a long range reforrestation
project which is being developed
by the board of directors with
his assistance.
In spite of threatening weather
conditions, the group completed
the project Saturday and they
are to be commended for taking
an interest in the reforrestation
plan for Noble county.

Ceiling Falls Down In
SummerfieId School

A major disaster could have
occurred at the Summerfield
high school last Tuesday when
the entire ceiling, including
plaster and lathe, came off in the
commercial room of this school.
Supt. Ward Bishop said the
accident occurred at $40 p. m,
but the classroom was vacant at
the time. Normally there are 20
students in this room and Supt.
Bishop said he was positive they
would have been seriously in
jured had a class been in pro-
gress.
School was Immediately dis
missed and during the remainder
of the week, John w. Little and
Sons, general contractors from
Cambridge, checked the entire
building and reinforced all the
rooms.
School was again resumed on
Monday morning of this week.
Supt. Bishop said the high winds
and heavy rainfall had probably
combined to weakened this par
ticular room in the building.

The governments report shows
that there We're 16 deaths from
cancer and other malignant
groWths among residents of
Noble county in the year ending
January, 1854, the period covered
by the study.
This was equivalent to a rate
of 146 such deaths per 100000

1t was lower, also, than the

amount of $18,364.85 have been
distributed to the Noble county
welfare department, according to
State Auditor Jar IS a. Rhodes

combination ratio of population
and previous years poor relief
expenditures.
Power companies paid the
largest amount in poor relief
excise taxes followed by natural
