Lancaster joins Del1adhd
For Action on Schools
Virginia Educator Says Special Session
Is Needed to Halt Forced Inteqrution

RICHMOND, Va, July IA up.
DIR. Dabney S. Lancaster, lead
er of last winters fight for a
key part of the Gray Commits
Sion's anti-integration program.
today urged a special session of
the Legislature without any
further delay"
DR.. Lancaster said the lao
lawmakers should be summoned
into extra session to consider
the remainder Of the Gray pro-
gram in an attempt to provide
the State with a bulwark against
compulsory indignation.
DR.. Lancaster's statement was
his first comment on the segre-
cation issue since January when
he led a successful campaign in
behalf of an amendment to the
State constitution to permit
public funds to be used to subSi-
die private education.
His appeal for a special ses-
sion followed by two days an
order Of Federal Judge John
Paul directing Charlottesville to
move toward beginning desegre-
cation in the city's public schools
in September.
DIR. Lancaster, former State
superintendent of schools and
president of Longwood Teachers
College, said he was still solo,
on the Gray program and be-
lieved it provides "as good a So
luton as has been proposed" for
keeping Negro and white pupils
apart.
II believe it would be well to
have a special session of the
Legislature without any fur
ther delay" he said by telephone
from his Bath County home.
MY primary concern is to SEE
the continuation of Virginia &
public schools. That was the
reason I led last winters cam
Ipaign for the amendment.
Sees Progress Hurt
I am opposed to indignation
and have said I believe it will
set education back so years in
the State. I still feel that way
DR.. Lancaster's statement
came on the heels of comment
yesterday by Gov. Luther Hodges
of North Carolina, who founc

Special Segregation Study Com
mittee had made several months
ago.
THAT point is simply this, a"
said Mr.. Hodges. "Those who
would do nothing could destroy
our public schools"
Gov. Stanley has declined
comment on the Charlottesville
ruling. but Attorney General j.
Lindsay Almond, jr.. has prom
ised an appeal which might de-
lay the start of desegregation
at the outset of the fall term.
Likes Assignment Plan
DR.. Lancaster said he felt it
would be difficult for Virginia to
put up an adequate defense in
the segregation suits brought by
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People
unless new legislation, were
adopted.
Therefore, he suggested con-
sideration of the remainder of
the Gray proposals. One of these
proposals-for a student assign
ment plan-has evoked criticism
because it would leave the door
ajar for possible Indignation in
some localities.
DR.. Lancaster said he felt the
assignment plan-sending chill
dren to specific schools on other
grounds than race-has "consid-
cradle merit" He conceded there
might be a little" indignation
under the plan.
Gov. Stanley said several weeks
ago he would call a special ses-
sion of the legislature before
September 6, but he has given
no word as to the exact date.
The ruling Of Judge Paul is
expected to bring increased pres
sure from some legislators to
have the Assembly meet at an
early date and take up the Gray
program, and possibly other pro-
posals for avoiding compulsory
indignation.
Meantime. NAACP lawyers
quickly completed drafting a
proposed decree for issuance in
the Charlottesville case. Judge
Paul asked the NAACP and the
State to make suggestions for the
decree after he announced il
would be forthcoming.
1t was sent to State and city
attorneys for consideration-and
certain rejection.

Por|ey to Seek Public
7 roffic Sofety Support

The Metropolitan Area Traffic
Council yesterday agreed to hold
a fifth annual Commissioners
and Governors conference on
Metropolitan Washington traffic
problems.
The action was taken on rec
ommendation of John A. Remon.
chairman of the Arrangements
Committee. The day-long Ses-
sion has been tentatively set for
October 3.
Its theme will be citizen sup
port of their governments eff
forts for traffic safety.
Members of the tri-State group
expressed the hope this confer
ence will be attended by the
Governors of Maryland and Vir-
ginia, who in all the previous
sessions have been satisfied to
send only their highway and
traffic officials.
In accordance with the con-
ference theme, Brig. Gen.
Thomas A. Lane, District Engi-
neer Commissioner and chair
man Of the council, announced
creation of a new committee
which will be, devoted to lining
up citizen support for all activ-
tiles designed to better traffic
safety and convenience in the
area.
Rise in Violations Cited
Nathan M. Lubar, chairman
lof the courts committee, gave a
report that UNDERSIGNED the need
for some kind of citizens help
for their own welfare.
In the last five years, Mr.. Lu-
bar said, traffic volume has in
creased 20 per cent. Along with
it, traffic violations in at least
-four categorieS have scared any
where from lao per cent to 295
per cent.
The top figure represents il
legal parking, driving under the
influence of alcohol or drugs. zoe
per cent: excessive speed, las
per cent, and cutting in" il
legally. 140 per cent.
Mr.. Lubar said the statistics
clearly indicate greater neeo
for stricter enforcement by po-
lice and the courts.
The council approved a Sem
ate-passed bill under which a
certain percentage content of al
cohol in the blood and urine OF
defendants in drunk driving
cases would be valid evidence
that the driver was under the
influence of intoxicantS.
The bill, which is stalled in
the House District Committee
also would require suspects in
such cases to submit to blood
and urine tests by proper au-
thorities. The council will no.
tify each member of the Dis
trict Committee of its action.
Highway Plans Aided

Grand Jury to Get All
County Liquor Charges

All future cases of liquor law
violations in Prince Georges
County will be presented to the
grand jury, rather than tried in
police court.
States Attorney Blair H. Smith
made the announcement yester-
day. minutes after the recalled
April term grand jury recon-
mended the procedure. The jury
mems statement was included in
a one-page written report that
ended a flve-day session.
Subjecting liquor law violators
to the sitter penalties custom
airy in Circuit Court should be
instrumental in cutting down
cases of violations, Mr.. Smith
said.
His recent practice of bypass
ing police court in gambling
cases and presenting them to
the grand jury for indictment is
largely responsible for a slack
OF in gambling operations, he
said. Mr.. Smith specifically cited
o 6-month prison term given a
convicted gambler last Thursday
and recalled another 1-year gam
bling sentence ordered last jan
uary-both in Circuit Court.
Sunday Sales Chief Target
He added the new procedure
for handling liquor cases is aimed
specifically at illegal Sunday
liquor sales.
You put the little boys in
Jail. and the big boys find it
harder to find more little boys
to work." Mr.. Smith said.
Continued presentation of
gambling cases to the grand jury,
rather than police court, also
was recommended by the jury
men yesterday.
Circuit Court Judge John r
Fletcher received the grand
jury's report in Upper Marlboro

According to the latest statistics
we could track down, about thirty
million people-and that's rough
ly one-fifth of the total population
go out to try their luck with rod
and reel every year.
We'd like to make this sugges-

plans include. a fishing trip: Be
sure your camera goes along with
your tackle when you set out for
the "big catch"
You know we frequently men,
ton how much help your camera

enjoyment of your other hobbies.

better way is there to keep rec

chapter of any anglers story =
and some fine picture material,
too, whether you choose to shoot
it in color or black-and-white.
But this is only the beginning!
When the "great day" finally ar

should catch these pictures, too,

the anglers choose when they
reach their destination.
Of course, the actual "catch"
deserves feature billing - and the
full color treatment. And don't
forget to get a shot of supper sizz-

WEEK FOR NEWSPAPERS
BIZ VICTOR MEEkiNS

Last week was the week OBJ
served by the newspapers of the
country as National Newspaper
week, and like so many things that
come up, they go by before / get
around to observing them. 1t isn't
the first time ] have missed the
boat, but one more time makes
little difference. However / will
have a few things to say.
As one who has edited papers
here at, home for more than 81
years, and who has been in and
out of the newspaper business for
some 40 years, l may say in pass
ing there are many satisfactions
in editing a newspaper. While it
seems least profitable financially
of anything person might under
take in small town, there are
many things that can be done
through a newspaper to benefit a
community, and there are many
things from week to week that are
both fascinating and satisfying.
It has always been with pleasure
to observe the progress of native
sons and daughters who have gone
out in the world to achieve sue
cess and happiness, while at the
same time we have viewed with
regret the conditions that denied
them opportunity at home, where
most of them had rather be. We
always love to get accounts of the
whereabouts and doings of our ma
tive sons and daughters whereby
we may publish them and tell their
old friends about them.
1t is equally satisfying to men
ton from week to week the signs
of progress and achievement here
at home. More gratifying still, is
when some native, out of his
ability, his sacrifice and his love
for his homeland achieves success
and renders an unusually great
service. Sometimes those who rem
der great service profit least fl
nancially. One of such cases in
point is that of the Midget
Brothers, Harold, Stockton, and
Anderson, who have operated for
some 16 years a bus line between
Manteo and Hatteras. These men
have many admirers, and doubt
less people are grateful for what
they have done. Through the long
bitter years when there was no
road to Hatteras, they maintained
daily bus service across the diff
cult sands. They played a large
part in bringing about a modern
road. One would think with a road
built, and bus operation made
easier, they weuld have found an
increasing number of profitable
riders. To the contrary they had
