the year ended last June 30 to-
tailed 1892. Police Chief Robert

the Commissioners.
This represents a drop of 1888
under the total for the IL months
ending June 80, 1855.
Police officials explained, how
ever. that for the most part this
is a paper reduction resulting
from a new department system
of classifying aggravated assaults
so more of these offenses go into
court as simple assaults.
The number of such offenses
cleared during the year came to
6,479 or 1862 per cent of the
total number of offenses.

thorized $2.2. million courthouse

be spent.
This move was being criticized
in the light of the information
handed out by Arlington officials
before the referendum ballotine
on June S. The board has stated
in a pamphlet, that the proposed
$2.2 million will pay for" a
new six-story center section, a
third floor on the south wing
and parking facilities.
Legality of Change Questioned
The legality of any switch
from this proposal was also be.

In addition to the pamphlets
copies of an architects sketch
showing the proposed six-story
center section structure were
posted in the courthouse and
at the polling places-and also
were published in newspapers
as part of the referendum cam
paign.
However, at its June "a meet

to ask its planning commission

building should go up. The board
action was on a motion by David

Lundberg Report Asked
AS a basis both for the COM

for a final decision" County
Manager A. T. Lundberg was

Legislators generally were di-
vided into two schools of thought
about what the General Assem-
bly, should do when Gov. Stanley
calls it into special session.
Some regarded the Charlottes-
vile decision as a mandate to
adopt some version of the Gray
plan.
Definite Stand Urged
Others took the position the
time had come for Virginia to
take a definite stand against
complying with the Supreme
Court decision.
Judge John Paul, who yes
terday ordered desegregation in
Charlottesville, made it clear he
thought the State had been drag
ging its feet.
Here are some comments from
Northern Virginia legislators on
his decree:
Delegate Omer Hirst Of Fair
fax:
THE decision clearly shows
that Virginia cannot ignore the
main desegregation decision of
the Supreme Court.
"Our school boards are en-
titled to guidance in the form OF
legislation. This legislation, OF
necessity, must be based on the
recognition of the Supreme
Courts decision.
Must Maintain System
1.-THE Gray plan is one form
of policy which might be adopted
but it will need refinements. The
pupil-assignment feature would
be useful. But any legislation
must recognize more than the
Gray plan recognizes = free
schools must be maintained in
every section of Virginia.
Delegate John c. Webb Of
Fairfax.
Il don't see that the decision
alters the situation. 1t says
that the Supreme Court decision
means what it says and we
ought to begin to comply with it.
l don't think the Legislature
has anything to do with COM
plying. never did like the
Gray plan.
1.-THE Governor should an
nounce a policy Of compliance
with the Supreme Court decis-
ion. He should say that start
ing in September the State
should 60 ahead and operate in
tegrated schools where local
conditions make it feasible ito
do so.
Delegate James NJ. Thomson
OF Alexandria
Il recognize the fact that
Judge Paul was bound to fol-
low the decision OF the Supreme
Court. l disagree with the judge
that Virginia has delayed in at
tempting to find a solution but
sooner or later decision of this
nature was bound to come.
