Republican candidate for the
State Senate last November.
OF the field of five, only Mr..
Brundage has said he will not
commit himself to vote for the
amendment. Mr.. Brundage and
two other candidates-Mr. Ar
rants and Mr.. Rust-said they
are particularly interested in
seeing that the public school
system is maintained.
After stating that the voice
Iof the people of Virginia de-
serves to be fully recognized.
Mr.. Brundage added:
II feel. at the same time. a
very real obligation to repre-
sent the majority of the Fair
fax County voters who rejected
the constitutional amendment. ]
hope to see included in the
amendment a phrase that guar
antees the maintenance of our
free public school system"
Mr.. Arrants said he would
vote for the amendment with
caution" He would watch 70
see that it would not jeopardize
either the tax system or our
school system" the candidate
stated.
Mr.. Rust worked publicly for
the Gray plan during the refer
endum campaign. He intends to
vote for the amendment. Mr.
Rust said. and added:
II am particularly interested
in preserving the public school
system. I am also interested in
providing some alternative for
those who honestly and sincerely
object to classroom migration
for their children"
Mr.. Parker had this to say:
THE amendment would pro-
vide an opportunity for Virginia
to be the leader In raising the
level of the American school
system through establishment OF
private schools that would teach
the fundamentals IN education. ?"
Those private schools. Mr..
Parker reasoned. would provide
the necessary competition to our
public schools, which are now
turning out poorly educated chill
dren under the progressive "
teaching system,
The fifth candidate, Mr.. Pick
EFT, was out of the State and not
available for comment. Mr..
Pickett was the author Of a reso-
luton presented to the Fairfax
Bar Association that condemned
the Supreme Courts desegrega-
ton ruling.
The unopposed candidate in
Arlington is Frank l.. Ball. ST..
attorney and former State SEN
ator. Mr.. Ball voted against the
Gray referendum. but is pledged
to vote for the amendment.
Unopposed In Alexandria Is
Attorney Albert v. Bryan, jr., a

AS a result of the objection.
Mr.. Alper suggested Mr.. Baum
Imer leave the witness stand and
let Mr.. Cushman take his place.
Mr.. Cushman at one point de-
scribed what he called "the
Washington Story"
He said that in the Baltimors
negotiations he had urged the
Washington contract pattern. He
denied, however, what he termed
as innuendoes and differences
that he also was urging the re-
vocation Of the company's fran
chise as was done in Washington.

II have no brief for public
operation of this transit company
or revocation Of the franchise OF

man said.
II see no advantage for this
union. in public operation of the

Cusi1man said.
The grand inquest also heard
Mr.. Baummer say that the ma
jority of the demands made by
the union had been submitted
by its own members but that to
these were added some we got
from our sister local in Wash

ginia."
But he also said in that state
ment that Gin my judgment. the
public schools of Virginia should
operate in 1856 on the same
segregated basis on which they
are now being operated" And he
said then also mo one can tell
what the Federal courts mean by
the term deliberate speed in
ordering desegregation in the
public schools"
On recommending the State
continue all school segregation
for another year at least, Mr..
Moore can claim consistency with
the view expressed before the
voters gave the go-ahead to the
first step of the Gray Plan. The
entire plan emissions legislation
to permit State payment Of pri-
vate tuition grants and a pupil
assignment plan as a means of
blocking any enforced integra-
ton. 1t also appears to contem-
plate indignation where localities
approve some mixing Of the races.
Informed legislators regard
Mr.. Moore's resolution as some
thing of a calculated risk de-
signed to buy as much segregated
time as possible with the big
uncomfortable still the supreme

When a man approached the
sandwich shop with a 12-gauge
shotgun, the police swarmed out

As result. 18-year old Henry

charged with attempted robbery

King explained to police that

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 10. The
House of Delegates grand in
quest into the Baltimore transit
dispute was thrown into turmoil
tonight when the chief negotia-
tor, in a sudden huff, pulled q
temporary walkout of his own.
Labor leaders asked for a short
recess during the inquiry after
Frank P. Baummer, president Of
the striking union, dropped the
first real surprise of the day
when he said that the company's
ability to pay would have made
"a lot of difference" to him Il
he felt the unions demands were
beyond that ability.
When he returned to the wit.
ness chair, Mr.. Baummer sait
that the chief negotiator, Der.
nard Cushman, had offered Il
resign during the recess because
of an apparent conflict on "abil-
ity to pay" as a criterion in ef.
fecting contract settlement.
He said the resignation Offer
was made because Mr.. Cushmar
and the local unions attorney
Bernard Rubenstein, previously
have maintained under oath thai
they believe the company's abil-
Iity to pay was irrelevant in the
negotiations.
Background in Question
Mr.. Cushman indicated thai
he felt the union president lacked
the background to answer ques-
tons concerning the unions de.
mandS.
! Returning TO the stand, Mr.
lBaummer read a statement hi
had written during the recess ir
which he supported the theory
that. as a general rule, abilit,
to pay was not a matter to b.
considered In negotiations.

that he obviously did not wan

Whereas by reason of the fact
that the constitutional conven-

Virginia is to be held on March
IS, 1856, and the regular session
of the Legislature of Virginia
terminates, by law. on March 10.
1856, 1t will be impossible for the
Legislature to consider and pass
upon. with due deliberation and
debate, the proposals Of the

Also reflected is the thought
that the longer Virginia waits
before adopting any plans. the
longer it viii be before a Federal
court has q chance to knock 1t
down.
More than so members Of the
100-member House already have
signed the resolution and its
passage Is almost certain. The
Senate. too. is expected to APP
prove. although considerable de-
bate in both bodies is a reason
able forecast.
Not Enough Time to Act
Mr.. Moore's proposal takes
the view that action by the pres
ent session on the Gray Educa-
ton Commission proposals is
ruled out because the constitu-
tional convention to open the
door for enactment of the
Gray Plan will be held only
five days before the session
ends March 10: that any ac-
ton by an early special session
would present school authorities
next September with radically
new procedures and practices" to
which they were unaccustomed:
that there should be a reason
able period In which they would
have time ito adjust to the i'm
pact" of any new laws enacted:
and that since localities are now
working up their budgets for the
next school year. they ARE en-.
titled to guidance by the Legis-
lature on the handling of
the unprecedented school segre-
cation problem for the forth
coming school year"
Text Of Resolution
The guidance Mr.. Moore's res
olution would have the Assembly
give would be:

Delegates, the Senate concur
ring, that 1t is the sense Of the
Legislature that for the school
