Courts decision ban-
ming racial segregation.
Under the newest plan re-
portedly discussed in Mr.. STAN
ley's Office, the Governor would
act as an "agent" of the Gem
eral Assembly in maintaining
segregated schools. The. i40
members of the State Legisla-
ture would assume the RESPONSE
bility for segregation.
Opponents of the Governors
plan to withhold funds from in
tegrated schools based their
arguments on the fact that it
recognizes the color of a chiId's
skin as a reason for assigning
children to specific schools. The
opponents do not believe any
Federal Court would sustain such
legislation.
Under the newest compromise
measure by the administration,
local school boards would place
pupils in specific schools. II q
child of one race were assigned
to school attended by those Of
the other race, then an "assign-
Iment board"-appointed by the
Governor would review the
school boards action. There.
after, appeals would be taken
through the State courts before
Federal courts could enter into
the picture.
If Federal courts ordered in
tegration, under the Governors
program, State funds would be
withheld and the localities
schools would be closed. The
Governor then would step in and
establish a system of efficient"
schools as required by the State
Constitution. He would be acting
under a directive from the Gem
Ieral Assembly.
An efficient" school system
would be defined as a segregated
school system under legislation
now pending.
Main Objection
One Of the main objections
raised against Gov. Staf1ley,s
original funds-withholding plan
was that It would result in clos.
ing of public schools, particularly
in areas such as Arlington and
Charlottesville. where Federal
courts have ordered an end 10
racial segregation.
The latest administration plan
contemplates that schools. under
such conditions, would be closed
for a day or so before the Cow
Iernor took over and began
operating them as an "efficient'
system authorized by the State
Legislature.
At this point there would be-
a true clash of authority between
State and Federal sovereign
powers--a clash which the Byrd
Democratic organization seems
intent on facing.
Yesterdays session of the
General Assembly was perfunc-
tory. The House and Senate met
Tor just a few minutes. Conn
mittees that had more than 100
bills dealing with the school
segregation problem did NOT

sionS were arrived at behind

today for the first time Of the
criticism that his Democratic OPP
ponents have been directing at
his voting record.
Democrat George P. Mahoney

Republican Senator's votes for

The
Rambler
Coy Old Dogs Go
For Gray Ladies'
BY JACK JONAS

Over at Red Cross head
quarters today, they're show
ing of for visitors in the hope
that perhaps 500 of them will
get interested enough to come
back for volunteer work, or
pass the word along to their
friends.
Therell be so many visitors
that there won't be time to tell
them all about those gay old
dogs at the Soldiers Home.
There won't be an oppor-
tunity, either, to tell about the
little old lady, in the hospital
for many weeks, who wanted
more than anything else to
have her hair plated, and the
nurses naturally didn't have
time.
There won't even be time
to tell about the motorized
romance.
This is, necessarily, a ma
terial display to show what
the volunteers do in the time
they spend at the Red Cross.
Washington" the lady at
headquarters said, "has special
problems. For one thing,
many of our volunteers are
service wives, and when their
husbands are transferred, we
have to get new volunteers to
take the wives places.
Many of the embassy
people-more than you'd think
do volunteer work, and of
course the embassy staffS
change from time to time.
Right now we could use
at least 500 volunteers for
requirements alone.
And another thing, the
Washington chapter is sort
of a guinea pig for trying out
new ideas, and we never know
when we'll need volunteers for
something new"

BUT WHAT ABOUT those
gay old dogs at the Soldiers
Home?
WED been trying to talk
some of our ladies into serving
at the Soldiers Home" the
Red Cross lady said. But
they kept saying no.
Finally, a few of them
agreed to go out to work there
one day a week. They began
getting proposals of marriage.
Not that they took them
seriously, but it made them
feel good. Now they're going
out every day.
But to get back to the
guinea pig idea. The Home
Nursing Service was first tried
out here, and then adopted
nationally. So were the Gray
Ladies. The same was true of
the Motor Corps"
And how about the motor
lied romance?
"One Of our women volun-
teers met her husband while
she was driving for the Motor
Corps. He was a Motor Corps
driver, too. They've been
married six or seven years
now, and both of them are,
still on our Motor Corps vol
unteer list.
We have several husband
and wife teams working as
volunteers, but mostly it's
work for women.
"The problem of recruitment
has become so big that we de-
cided to have this open house
to show what our volunteers
do. We need Gray Ladies,
for example, to do things like
write letters for people in hos
pitfalls, to perform the little
personal services that the
nurses don't have time for"

Rockville Site
Approved for
VA Hospital

AAAS ~f~oAOAANA ONPAOuA AUAA-
ming Commission yesterday APP
proved location of the Veterans
Administrations long planned
Washington area hospital on a
25-acre site near Rockville.
The commission approval fol-
lowed unanimous Endorsement
by the National Capital Regional
Planning Council.
A special committee report said
the Overriding factor" in the
decision was a feeling that the
hospital should be away from the
center of town, farther from the
range of possible enemy ali
attack.
VA already has filed condem-
nation papers on the property
but has held up further action
until the commission acted. The
site, on the so-called Dawson
farm, is II miles from the White
House. on the west side Of Rock
vile pike.
500 Beds Planned
The proposed hospital will be
a 500-bed general medical and
surgical building. originally pro-
posed to replace Mount Alto Hos
pital here. The VA has funds
| for planning and technical SUI
pervision of construction.
In another action-to the dis
tress of District highway engi-
Ineers-the planning commission
Ireopened the question of a route
| for the west leg of the city's
proposed "inner-belt" express
way system.
Months ago. the commission
gave general approval to route
that cut through Foggy Bottom
from the Lincoln Memorial to
Washington Circle. South of the
circle, it would occupy most Of
the blocks between Twenty
third and Twenty fourth streets
NV.
At commission meeting yes.
terday, however, Director Johr
Nolen, jr., showed sketches Of
substitute routes that would by.
pass Foggy Bottom and parable
the Rock Greek and Potomac
parkway along the Potomac
river.
Leaves Sites Intact
Mr.. Nolen said such routes
would be less costly. But the
main factor, he said, sis that
they would leave intact larg,
areas in Foggy Bottom as pos.
sible future Federal building
lSiteS. The area, he argued, con
tains the only available Site
left west of the Capitol. and sale
lit would be destroyed by thu
present approved highway route
