Webb Tells Foirfox PTA
|Stote School Law Is Blow

Fairfax Delegate John Webb
last night called new Virginia
segregation legislation a blow
Ito local government" and pre-
dicted the program would heap
ridicule on the State.
Speaking at q meeting Of the
Fairfax PTA Federation, Mr..
Webb outlined legislation passed
at the special General Assembly
session designed to prevent inte-
grafton in Virginia public schools.
He voted against most Of the
Legislation, favoring instead steps
to comply with the Supreme
Court segregation decision.
/ I'm truly sorry to see the
course Virginia has embarked
on" Mr.. Webb told the meeting
attended by representatives of
white and colored PTAs. ut
cannot do anything but bring
ridicule
Under the no-integrationi pro-
gram proposed by Gov. Stanley
and adopted at the session which
adjourned Saturday, State school
funds will be withheld from ele-
mentary or secondary schools in
any community that integrates.
Other measures provide for the
establishment of a State assign
mept board to place students in
particular schools. and for tut
ton grants to permit private
education Of children.
Sees Schools Rocked"
In all, about 200 bills were
introduced at the session and
only a handful passed." Mr..
Webb said. But that handful
is plenty potent-it packs a
punch that will rock our public
school system as long as the
Legislation is on the books"
He told federation members
whether they were for or against
segregation, they should be con-
cerned because the new legisla-
ton "tramples on local govern
ment."
I'VE have worked hard to pro-
vide a good school system" he
said. 1T is our right to say how
our schools should be admin
istered. AS long as we pay taxes
to the State. I couldn't vote to
cut of any funds"
The Fairfax delegate said he
had heard a lot Of vicious
testimony in the past, but at the
recent assembly session he sat
Through four days of the most
vicious. hate-filled testimony /
ever heard-I wondered if / was
in the Goth century-people
said things I wouldn't say to a
dog"
PTA Investigation Feared
Mr.. Webb singled out for at
tack the inquiry legislation
sponsored by neighboring Dele
gate James N. Thomson of
Alexandra. The Fairfax dele
gate said the Thomson bill was
perhaps the worst bill adopted
lat the session." It provides for
the appointment Of a 1O-mem-
Der legislative commission to
study and investigate corpora
tions, organizations or associa-
lions or other groups that seek
to influence public opinion.

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
What About Consultations?
By DR.. PETER }. sTEINcRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: Recent
ly I read a letter written to you
by a reader about a lump in her
breast which was diagnosed by
her physician as q cyst. Almost
the same experience happened
to me. That is why it is neces-
sary to caution people never to
accept the opinion of one doctor.
At least once every month !
kept on mentioning the growth.
My doctor always kept dismiss
ing it as perfectly harmless.
Understand, I do not blame him
for not recognizing the tumor;
/ did not expect him to be in
fallible. But ! do blame him for
not being concerned about my
condition. I do blame him for
not once in two years saying: II
see you're very much concerned
about yourself, I'll send you to
another doctor to have q look.
After all, I'm not q surgeon.
You'll feel more at ease getting
another opinion"
Needless to say, I am now 60
ing to the only other doctor in
town. I never again will take
one doctors word for anything.
MY new doctor does not believe
The is infallible.
Please continue to inform the
public with your enlightening
column which / never miss read
ing. Would appreciate your not
printing my name-or even my
initials. Sincerely.
Answer: There isn't q doctor
who hasn't heard similar COM
plants. And I suppose many
readers have heard such stories
over bridge tables and at dinner
parties. Therefore. it seems
evident there is more to it than
just one disgruntled patient
sounding of.
I believe the person who sent
the letter has raised an Inn
portant point in doctor-patient
relationships. More so, it is often
"a question Of life or death, sick
ness or health. I have often said
to patients: your life is in your
own hands. That might be
changed to: in your own and
your doctors hands.
Your health often hangs in
the balance when you go to your
doctor for diagnosis and treat
ment. Your life may not be in
danger when you ask for advice
for a simple headache or con-
stipation. However, suppose you
have acute appendicitis. and
you are treated instead for an
upset stomach. Or suppose you
are having a typical coronary
attack and it is passed OF for

is bothered primarily by his

If he could convey his an

without appearing to expect
them to be outraged, he should
by all means do so. This does
not mean he has to be flippant
or nonchalant, but neither

were enacting the heavy role
in a Russian novel.
Since it might embarrass her
parents to learn the fact from
an outside source, it is better
they learn it from him. In that

In putting up this additional
money, however. Congress didn't
specify that the States had to
use it TO raise individual pay

With the additional Federal
money, the States could give in

could be raised by 81 to 50 q
