The commissions staH yeStef-

the preparation of a new coming
classification to provide for a
"campus-like research zone"
The staff has recommended

self. Now the Gray Commission
has reversed itself. This leaves
the situation in a state of pro-
found confusion"
Opponents of the Governors
plan said Southside areas have
a heavy representation on the
commission. The commissions
1912 vote. they predicted, would
not be reflected in the Assembly
vote.
This is apt to put (Republi-.
cam Ted Dalton. in,Ithe Gov
ernor's mansion" said one Dem
ocratic legislator who declined to
be quoted by name. He said
the G. o. P. hadn't made the
Gray Plan an issue, but they are
apt to hop on it now"
Senator Fenwick said:
Under (the Governor's) plan,
II a school board Is ordered to
assign a Negro child to a white
school, State funds for the entire
county, city or town will revert
back to the State. This means
that such a community must
either operate its schools out of
local school funds or close its
school system. 1t gives the peo-
pie OF Virginia no other choice.
ut poses this question to the
citizens of Virginia: Are you
willing to close your public
schools in order to prevent any
degree of integration? I do not
believe the people in Northern
Virginia, the Valley or Southwest
Virginia are willing to pay this
price"
Senator Fenwick said he could
not repudiate statements he
made to the people during the
Gray plan debate last win
ter. He said the Governors plan
would not prevent integration
because localities could operate
public schools out OF local tax
funds.
Mr.. Mann said Arlington and
Charlottesville will be the first
victims of the Governors pro-
posal, which he said would have
the final result of>closing public
schools in most of the State.
The Gray plan was presented
to the people in good faith. Mr..
Mann said, and he would sup
port legislation to carry it out.

The Governor met with the
commission during the day-long
executive session. The vote was
announced to reporters by State
Senator Garland Gray of Wav-
erly, commission chairman.
Senator Gray. who voted with
the majority in favor of the
Governors plan, declared that
1t embraced "a considerable por-
ton" of the original Gray Com
mission recommendation.
Under questioning. however,
he acknowledged that the pupil
assignment program was being
"shelved" and the tuition grant
plan was being tailored to fit the
new no-integration movement.
The Gray Commission was ap-
pointed August 80, 1854, by Gov.
Stanley to study problems raised
by the Supreme Court school
segregation decision. Last No
vember. 1t recommended a COM
bination pupil assignment-tui-
ton grant program. which came
to be known as the Gray plan.
State Constitution Amended
Gov. Stanley promptly gave
the Gray plan his "wholehearted
and State leaders lined
up behind him. The Gray plan
was supposed to permit assign
ment of pupils to schools for a
variety of reasons-excluding
race-and provide for payment
of tuition grants for rrivate erlll.

School CIosings Feared
Under StonIey's Plan

Arlington's members of the
Gray Commission today assailed
Gov. Stanley's no-integration
plan, approved by a commission
majority yesterday. They declared
it will mean closing Of public
schools in the State.
Senator Charles r. Fenwick
and Delegate Harrison Mann said
they will fight the Governors
proposal in the General Assembly
session opening Monday in Rich
mond. The legislators said, in
their separate statements, that
they are opposed to enforced in
Itegration" and are supporting
the original Gray Plan. They
said the no-integration plan will
not stand up in court.
State Senator Armistead
Boothe of Alexandria, comment
ing on the commissions action
yesterday, predicted a move to
repeal Section l29 of Virginia IS
Constitution. This section guar
antees an efiicient public school
system.
That's the next step the State
administration has in mind. /"
Senator Boothe said from his
vacation residence in New Hamp-
shire.

Boothe declared, that this is a
fight to preserve our public
schools"
The Alexandria Senator said
the Gray Commissions about

who were opposed to integration,
but who worked against the tut
tion grant plan. We said this
was a fight for our public schools,
There can't be any mistake about
that now"
