New State Laws Attacked By NAACP;
Prince Edward ATTORNEYS File Briefs
Lawyers Ask Court
To Dismiss Suit
On Desegregation

After hearing the segregation ar
puments in the Richmond Federal
District Court on November IA.
Judge Sterling Hutcheson gave at
tornevs for Prince Edward county
and the Commonwealth Is days to
file written brief replying to new
points raised by lawyers for the
Negro plaintiffs.
The replying brief has been filed
in the Federal District Court and it
asks for dismissal of the desegre-
gatlcn suit pending against Prince
Edward county
The brief said that four recent de-
cisiCns involving statutes similar to
Virginia S pupil assignment law had
| made it necessary for the plaintiffs
to follow administrative remedies
instead of entering the case immed-
lately in the. Federal Court.
Tho most recent decision. written
by Chief Judge John J Parker of
the U, S Fourth Circuit Court of
Appeals. held that Negro plaintiffs
in Mcdowell County. N c.. must
exhaust the requirements of h I
states pupil placement act before
it could be brought into the District
Court
Claimed Unconstitutional
At the November IA hearing
NAACP attorneys expressed the
view that the pupil assignment
phase of legislation passed by the
recent special session Of the Legis-
lature is unconstitutional and that
il constitutes merely deliberate ef-
fort" to preserve the states segre-
gated schools.
The Prince Edward attorneys
noted in their brief that a three
Judge federal court must be con
vened to decide any constitutional
question involved, such as the one
advanced by the NAACP lawyers.
The brief says that in the Prince
Edward case. it cannot be claimed
the rev Virginia laws have been APP
Piled in an unconstitutional manner.
and until such a case arises it must
be presumed the new laws are con
Stltuti0nal and that the admins
trauyo authorities will obey the
law
The state Pupil Placement law
goes into effect on December %
Norfolk Case Similar
No immediate action is expected
In the Prince Edward case because
Judge Sterling Hutcheson was in
VOWED in an accident and has not
been on the bench since November
, 49, In asking for additional briefs
at the November IA hearing, Judge
Hutcheson said he would then take
the matter under consideration and
advise YOU in due course"
A case similar to the Prince Ed
ward litigation is the sc hoo
case brought against Norfolk New
port News authorities. In that case
District Judge Walter E. Hoffman
heard NAACP counsel charge that
the new assignment law is Wcon-
Stitutional on its face
! Judge Hoffman also ordered op-
posing attorneys to file briefs and
said he would make his decision
after that.

BY CASPAR NAMES

Relisious News Editor Of The star
Easter Sunday sunrise services
are becoming more popular each
year. and the reason is easy to
understand.
Somehow there is an especial
thrill attending such q service or
a hilltop. in l. stadium or on a
church lawn. For many there
seems in this setting to be added
meaning IN the sermon. in the
hymns sung by well-trained
clloirs and in the Scripture read
ing. Perhaps the fresh air, the
bright sun peeking over the
horizon and chasing the black
shadows before it. and the
carpet-like grass combine to give
further inspirational qualities to
the worship.
The joyous "the Lord is risen"
theme seems particularly appro-
pirate in these surroundings.
Washington is exceedingly
fortunate in the large number Of
Easter Sunday sunrise services
more than 20-being held tomor-
row. Worshipers may choose a
program in ONE Of several sta
diumS, where the service is color
full. with large crowds, and well
known speakers, or one on the
lawn of a small suburban church.
Each type of worship has its
appeal, and each is equally per-
tinent to the occasion.
Whichever you attend. Happy
Easter.

Few men so well deserve the

Fred is a jovial, friendly per-

strength to Lutheran church

many years.
He is especially happy at

where his genial personality
exudes friendliness to all. His
presence contributes much to the
pleasant atmosphere always
evident at these luncheons.
But he is active also on
