Adlai Stevenson became the
"underdog" for the Democratic
presidential primary after the
Minnesota primary. but he is
mot fulfilling that role with
his attacks on Senator Ke-

the Woman's National Demo-

The CongreSswoman was one
of the few Minnesota Demo-
cratic leaders who supported
Senator Kefauver in her State,
most State leaders supporting
Mr.. Stevenson.
Senator Kefauver's Min
neSota triumph was mot an
anti-Governor, anti-Senator or
anti-Stevenson vote, but def
nitely an anti-national admin

declared.
The biggest factor was the
decline in farm income under
this administration, and this
will be the biggest issue in the
coming campaign" she added.

|Fenwick Hopes Loopho|e
May Save Assigning PIon

Arlington State Senator
Charles r. Fenwick today held
out hope that a lopphole in Gov
ernor Stanley's no-integratior
program may save Virginia's
pupil assignment plan from dying
in court.
The special session of the Gen.
eral Assembly which adjourned
Saturday adopted the Governors
funds withholding plan anc
pupil assignment legislation.
Under the funds Withholding
plan, State school money win be
cut on from the elementary OF
secondary schools in any COM
|munity that integrates.
The pupil assignment legisla-
ton provides for assignment Of
students to schools for a variety
of reasons other than race.
A major argument used against
the Governors plan in debates
that preceded its passage was
that it would result in the in
valuation of pupil assignment
legislation.
Senator Fenwick argued dur
ing the debate that the funds
withholding program would de-
Istroy any pupil assignment plan
because the Federal courts
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-09-25

would rule it "a vain thing" to
make a Negro child follow an
appeal through a maze of State
courts under the assignment
program only to find the schools
closed because Of the withdrawal
|of State funds.
Yesterday Senator Fenwick
|said he felt that effectiveness Of
the assignment plan was "jeop-
|ardized by passage Of the cutoff
bill" but declared there may be
la saving feature.
There is a possibility that if
lit is shown that Arlington is go
ling to operate its schools ire
spective Of funds being withheld,
the court might require the petit
|tioners to exhaust their admin
istrative remedies and dismiss
the case" Senator Fenwick de-
cleared yesterday.
THAT could reduce it to a
Ifactual situation in each locality
Jas to whether the local schools
would be operated entirely on
local money" Senator Fenwick
said.
Delegate Harrison Mann of
Arlington said he feared that
Arlington would not receive much
help from the new legislation in
stopping indignation.

BY Wesley Williams

ton included the refusal to per-
NIT the teachers phone num-
bers to be given parents so that
suitable appointments could be
made.
Even a committee from the
|PTA over a period of one year
had been frustrated in its desire
to arrange an appointment with
the principal.
Raises Questions
Mrs. Wells stated that she
tried to promote friendliness
and understanding. Then how
can she explain Cd ordering the
students to be segregated by race
at the June, 1856, graduation
dinner; t2) ordering a colored
girl not to talk to a colored
boy cit was not known at the
time that the girl was colored
but was mistakenly taken fol
Iwhite); CD segregated seating in
the cafeteria.
In the main the colored stu
dents at Roosevelt are from
families of higher social
economic background. Yet Mrs
Wells has taken every opportu.
nifty to promote inferiority anc
make colored children feel re.
jected.
Many of the colored children
are heartbroken because Mrs
Wells has publicly characterized
them as behavior problems, anc
la few show their resentment
against unfriendliness.
Considering the enrolment
has increased from approx
mately 600 to approximately
1,100 it would appear that the
principal cannot cope with thi:
increase in the student body.
