Stanley Asks
Prompt Action
On Gray Plan
Urges Assembly
To Set Elections
For Convention
BY ALEX r. PRESTON
star stan correspondent

RICHMOND. Jan. 1l.-Gov.
Stanley today asked the General
Assembly to act promptly in
setting an election for delegates
to a constitutional convention.
The constitution is to be
amended to permit State tuition
grants for educating children in
private schools.
He told the opening session
Of the Legislature that he con-
siders the results Of Mondays
referendum "a mandate to me
and to members"
At the same time, Gov. STAN
ley took occasion to reassure
those on the losing side who
were concerned over the future
Of public schools.
Il urge with all the force at
my command that you carry for
ward our program of public edu-
cation. ;. In this you will have
my full support"
Approved by 2 to1
BY better than a 2-to-l ratio,
Virginians voted in favor of the
first step of the Gray Commits
sion's plan to get around the
Supreme Court decision banning
racial segregation in public
schools.
CAS- the first. and certainly one
Of the most important recon-
mendations to be submitted to
this session." Gov. Stanley said.
Il urge prompt authorization of
the election of delegates to the
constitutional convention which
should be held as early as prac-
ticable."
An aide to the Governor said
it is hoped the convention would
be held prior to adjournment of
the 60-day session of the Assem-
bly,. This would give lawmakers
an opportunity to enact legis-
lation needed to carry out the
constitutional change.
Responsible sources indicated
legislation will be introduced
shortly to hold the special cleo
ton for delegates within the next
80 or IS days.
No Showdown Seen
To this extent. at least, the
Governor declined to go along
with a reported "go-slow" policy
recommended by top officials.
Some had interpreted remarks
Of Senator Byrd, Democrat Of
Virginia, head of the Democratic
organization, after MONDAYS
referendum to mean that the
State should slow down on its
approach to the segregation
problem.
Gov. Stanley indicated in his
message, however, that other
portions of the Gray Commits
sion plan may follow soon.
I'm the hope you will concur
in the foregoing suggestions, -
Gov. Stanley said, II am de-
ferring for the present other
recommendations concerning the
Supreme Court decision and the
public schools. II the constitu-
tional convention is convened as
suggested, it is my purpose at a
later date to present additional
recommendations"
The governors aide said the
additional recommendations
would come before the Legisla-
lures adjournment in March.
Gov. Stanley said he would
recommend in his budget, to be
submitted tomorrow, an increase
of nearly $23 million for public
schools-"the largest increase in
our history for the public school
system"
He also emphasized that he is
carrying forward the program
Of increasing teacher salaries
he inaugurated in 1854, but
without additional cost to the
localities"
Nowhere in his speech did the

PEpCO Holds
Options on Land
Near Dickerson
New Plant Location
In Montgomery Seen
Backed by Contracts
BY CHARLES L. HOFFMAN

Lie EUtOuldC ElCCtIlC EOWCl
Co. is holding options on two
large tracts Of land in the Dick
lerson area of Montgomery Coun-
Ity as a possible site for its new
500 million power plant, The
Star learned today.
This information, coupled with
Ia statement of Montgomery
County Manager M. L. Reese al
yesterdays County Council meet
ing. appeared to lend credence to
widespread reports that the plant
would be located in Montgomery
Mr.. Reese said he was sched-
uled to meet tomorrow afternoon
with PEPCO officials and that q
press release then would be made
las to the location and necessary
details pertaining to the plant.
LOudoun Option Expired
An option. to purchase a 519-
acre site for the new power plant
in Loudoun County was allowed
to expire last month.
Mr.. Reese long has expressed
confidence that PEPCO even
tually would select a Montgom-
cry site for its new plant.
The two Montgomery tracts
total more than TOO acres. They
are of Route 119 at its inter-
section with Route % near Dick
erson.
Both sites were obtained late
in December by PEPCO through
the real estate firm Of Frances
Powell Hill.
One tract Is owned by p. C.
!Waddell. who with his wife lives
in a trailer at the intersection
fof the two roads.
Bisected by Little Monocacy
Mr.. Waddeil's farm contains
$40 acres anc is bisected by the
Little Monocacy River, which
flows into the Potomac.
Pepco's option on the Waddell
farm repeatedly expires in March.
The other farm is owned by
Mr.. and Mrs. Dennis L. Smith
and contains some 4l9 acres. 1t
lis adjacent to the Waddell farm
and extends to the Potomac
River.
The option on the Smith farm
repeatedly extends until next
September.
Near the boundary line be-
tween the two farms the Little
Monocacy passes through a deep
ravine that has a cliff on one
side and a steep hill on the
other.
Could Dam Is Acres
Location of a dam at this site
would provide a lake of at least
Is to 30 acres that would pro-
vide PEPCO with water for
cooling the condensors in the
proposed steam generating plant,
On the cliff side of the ravine
is a field on the Smith farm
that lies more than 300 feet
above sea level.
From this site 1t is less than
a mile to the main line of the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad.
PEPCO, if it selects the site,
probably would have spur line
run into the plant over a farm
of o. w. Anderson, retired
county agent, which abuts the
railroad and the Waddell farm
Mr.. Smiths farm also over
looks the Potomac which is
bordered on the Maryland side
at this point by high bluffs.
Elevation Caused Difficulty
PEPCO ran into difficulties
with its Loudoun County site be-
cause of its relatively low eleva-
ton above the Potomac.
A Senate District subcommit-
tee headed by Senator Morse,
Democrat of Oregon. and Dis
trict Engineer Col. Ray Adams
have warned that the Loudoun
site would be inundated by the
Potomac If a proposed flood con-
troll and water supply dam were
