saw the boys playing with the
dollars but believed his older
sons story about finding it in a
garage the youngster was clean
ing.
The father said he read about
the missing coin yesterday, made
an investigation of his own, and
brought the boy to police.
Mrs. Taylor had also reported
that some scent pieces were
stolen. The boys denied even
seeing those coins. Detectives
said Mrs. Taylor turned up a
silver dollar today still in her
home. They said it is possible
1T could be the one believed
missing with the three known to
have been taken.

The
Rambler
Drifter Finally
Finds q Course
BY JACK JONAS

John Seekins' roaming ended
with a short walk down a COR
ridor at Woodrow Wilson High
School.
BY the time he's 80 years
old, he hopes to be settled
down at last, his wandering
feet firmly entrenched in a
responsible job as an engi-
neer. He's already made big
strides.
Right now he's q and has
iust finished high school, but
not Woodrow Wilson. The
sight of the youngsters there,
during his walk down that
corridor, was too much for
i'm.
When / left the eighth
rade," he began, my father
!ecided it was time I went
. work, so did"
That was back home in
seedSburg, Wis, where Mr..
!eekins was born.
when I was IS, I decided
t was time to roam," he went
on. II left home and began
working at this and that. I
worked in lumber camps, on
ranches, in restaurants. Just
about anything you can name,
I guess I did, in three short
years"
In those three years he saw
a lot of the United States.

Boys Got Missing Coins;
1904 Date Is Uncertain

Some Of the urgency evapo-
rated from police search fol-
an 1904 silver dollar reportedly
worth $4,000 when the victim
said today she isn't sure the miss
ing coin has that date.
There are only about five
known copies of the 1904 silver
dollar.
Mrs. Viola Taylor Of 1906
Burke street Sc. reported Tues
day that her house had been
lransacked while she was out OF
town. She said an 1904 coin and
three other silver dollars were
among the loot.
Last night a 12-year-old boy
confessed he broke into the house
and took the coins and some
lesser loot. The colored boy said
he later re-entered the place with
ia younger brother and an IL
Iyear-old white boy.
Denies Taking Fourth Coin
But he emphatically denied
they stole four coins. He in
sisted it was only three. More
over, he was able to rattle of
the dates he said were on the
coins-192l. 1887 and 1898. He
could not be mistaken about the
1904 coin, he said, because 1904
is the street number of his home.
He said he and his brother
spent one dollar for movie
tickets and used the two other
coins for candy, ice cream and
other sweets.
Precinct Detectives Wayland
H. Fallon and Bernard j. Pa
Meta said they questioned Mrs.
Taylor again today. asking
whether she was sure one of the
missing coins was dated 1904.
well, I'm pretty sure" they
say she replied.
Would you swear TO the
fact?"
mo, won't" they quoted her.
Some Items Recovered
Mrs. Taylor added that she is
almost convinced it was an 1904
issue. and detectives were still
trying to trace the coin today.
They have recovered some Of
the lesser items taken from the
Taylor home.
I The oldest boy of the trio re-
called that one stolen dollar had
IA hole in it and was strung on a
ribbon. He said he and his
brother removed the coin, plugged
the hole with chewing gum, and
passed it successfully at the
theater window.
He was surrendered for police
questioning last night by his

ONCE THE DECISION was

ONCE THE DECISION was
made, Mr.. Seekins plunged in
with enthusiasm. During his
three years at Woodward, he
Snagged a lot of honors.
He has been president of
the student council and pres
ident of his senior class. He
was made a member of the
National Honor Society.
And now that he's belatedly
finished high school, his goal
is firmly in mind. On Sep
tember 20, he will be in Port
land, Oreg., enrolled as a
freshmen in engineering at
the University of Portland.
He picked his college care
fully. A part of his decision
was based on his years of
knocking around when money
was scarce.
Its a small school," he said,
with only about 1000 stu
dents. Living costs will be
lower that way. The tuition
is comparatively small. And
have a good friend out that
way who could help me in a
pinch, if / need it.
I'm going to take a general
engineering course, and after
that perhaps specialize in
electronics. I'm not exactly
sure about that yet.
But one thing l am sure of
even If 1t is a little late. I'm
through roaming"

PEPCO Plans
Maryland Plant
Lund Options Taken
Up Near Dickerson

Senator Butler, Republican OF
Maryland, today said he had
been advised that the Potomac
Electric Power Co. is in the
process of exercising its option
on land for a steam generating
power plant near Dickerson, Md
Senator Butler added that the
action assures the power plant
being located on the Maryland
side of the Potomac.
PEPCO officials confirmed
Senator Buffers statement but
withheld comment on when
construction of the plant would
begin.
1000 Acres OptiOned
officials said the company has
options on about l 900 acres that
expire September 30.
PEPCO last year had planned
to construct its next power plant,
estimated to cost $100 million, on
Ia Loudoun County (Va.) site
about II miles downriver from
the Dickerson site in Montgom-
cry County, Md.
The company later said it was
continuing with its plan to pur-
chase the Loudoun site but that
it would be held in reserve while
its first construction would be
made at the Dickerson site.
PEPCO reportedly has been
negotiating for railroad right-of-
ways into the Dickerson site. A
railroad spur off the Baltimore
e. Ohio's main line is expected
to be built.
Transmission Line Rights
Negotiations also have been re-
ported under way for transmits
sion line right-of-ways from the
Dickerson site.
PEPCO last December obtained
options on at least two farms
totaling some $50 acres near
the junction of the Little Monoc-
acy River and the Potomac
River just south of the Frederick
County line. The farms are
owned by Dennis L. Smith and
p. c. Waddell.
A bill that would have per-
mitted PEPCO to construct a
low-level dam across the Poto-
mac at the Dickerson site died
in the final days of Congress
last month.

knew I wanted to do some

versity. told him I was with

"But I went down to talk

I'd have to go somewhere

plane geometry and first-year
algebra.
Il went up to Woodrow Will

CELEBRATED courses there.

versal of the boards decision.
One of the main attractions
to lawmakers who believe that
integration will come ultimately
is that the legislation offers
almost unlimited opportunities
for litigation and hence-delay.
Local Referendum
Senator Eugene B. Sydnor and
Delegate FITZGERALD Bemiss Of
Richmond offered identical bills
for a local referendum on the
school issue. The measure pro-
vides that the governing body
may hold a referendum on clos
ing either the school system or
one or more schools in that
system when. in their judgment,
"the efficiency of the public
schools :. has been or is likely
to be impaired. :"
The schools could later be re-
opened by the governing body
without a referendum.
Delegate Robert Whitehead Of
Nelson County called for a State
wide referendum in January,
1857. on the question, "Shall the
public free school system of Vir.
ginia be abolished?" Mr.. White
heads contention is that Gov.
Stanley's plan to withhold State
aid from integrated school sys-
TENS would result in abolition Of
public schools.
| Another Statewide referefi-
dunn in the November election
this year would be called by
Delegate w. Griffith Purcell Of
Richmond. The question would
be whether local school boards
would be permitted to operate
schools under their control in
accordance with local require
ments and continue to receive
State funds notwithstand-
ing any terms of said act (the
Stanley bilD to the contrary"
This is an obvious attempt to
let the public decide whether
public schools remain open, even
though ordered by Federal courts
to end segregation.
LOOphOle Studied
Delegate G. w. Cleaton Of
Mecklenburg on Tuesday had
tried to plug a loophole in the
STANLEY plan by offering a bill
Ito prohibit any locality from
Operating integrated schools
after State aid had been with
drawn. Many Southside law
makers fear Arlington, Norfolk
and other areas would raise
funds locally to maintain public
schools. even if ordered to
integrate.
Yesterday, Mr.. Cleaton offered
substantially the same bill, but
left the way open for local funds
to be spent to pay off obliga-
tions. such as bonded debt and
unemployed teachers or other
school employees who previously
had been under contract.
| Another new bill by Delegate
F. G Pollard would require
parents to file matriculation
cards by January l and June 80
of each year for each child seek
ing admission to public schools.
One of the questions to be an
swered would be:
do you object to the above
named child attending a school
attended by members of diff
ferent race?"
Boards Would Act
Whenever 80 per cent or more
lof one race answered in the
affirmative, the school board
would be required to provide
schools for that race exclusively.
However. the 80 per cent mini
mum could be lowered if. in the
judgment Of the school board,
the health. welfare or education
will be better" provided by local
conditions.
Delegate Lewis McMurran Of
Newport News offered bill that
duplicates most of one offered
earlier by Senator E. o. McCue,
Iof Charlottesville.

segregation session yesterday. II
separate bills dealing with the
racial issue had been offered for
their studysover the long week
lend.
The NAACP legislation origi-
mated with Arlington's State
Senator Charles r. Fenwick and
Delegate c. Harrison Mann and
State Senator Garland Gray of
Waverly. Under the rules of the
limited special session of the
Assembly, bills not dealing di-
|rectly with school segregation
matters must receive unanimous
consent or be recommended by
the Governor.
Governor Agrees
Delegate John B. Boatwright
of Buckingham said he attended
a conference between the Gov
ernor and the Arlington repre-
sentatives yesterday and that
the Governor had agreed to re-
quest that the bills be accepted.
The legislation is still in the
Drafting Bureau, however, and
will be resubmitted to the Gov
ernor, it is understood, before he
makes final decision to sponsor
it.
The legislation was originally
included in four bills. It is
designed to require the NAACP
to file detailed records of its
Officers. agents. employees. volun-
teer workers and associates and
accounts of its revenues and
expenditures.
The NAACP is not specifically
mentioned by name, and Mr..
Mann said it would apply to the
Opposite group, the Defenders of
State Sovereignty and Individual
Liberties and other organizations
Engaged in attempting to influ-
ence legislation.
The bills would make illegal
any organizations attempting to
stir up litigation in which they
had no direct interest.
PTAs Would Be Excluded
It is believed that some of the
kinks to be ironed out are Ian
'lguage that would exclude parent
teacher associations or similar
organizations which frequently
ATTEMPT to influence legislation
Ten new segregation bills were
introduced Yesterday to add to
the so bills and one resolution
Offered since the special session
convened Monday.
Among them were revised
version Of the pupil assignment
bill offered a day earlier by Mr.
Mann. and four bills attacking
school segregation by Statewide
or local referendums.
The latest pupil assignment
plan sponsored by Mr.. Fenwick
and four co-patrons would work
this way:
AS with the Mann bill, the
Governor would name a local
three-member board to take the
pupil assignment duty away
from the school board.
Avenues of Appeal
But, for example. if a Negro
child's parents applied for his
admission to a white school,
there would be these avenues of
appeal:
If the assignment board re-
Ijected the application, the par
ents could appeal to the Circuit
Court. If the court upheld the
BOARD, the parents could then
appeal to the State Supreme
Court.
On the other hand, If the Cir
cult Court reversed the assign
ment board and ordered the Ne
gro child admitted, then the as
signment board could appeal the
Circuit Courts decision to the
Supreme Court.
BY way Of further example,
III the assignment board admits
the Negro child to the white
school, then the parents Of one
or more white children could
appeal to the courts for a re-
