of the Save Our Schools Com
mittee in Fairfax County, which
Icampaigned against the tuition
grant feature of the Gray plan
and advocated use of a pupil as
Isignment program to preserve
segregation as much as it was
required.
The Democratic candidate
Criticized his Republican oppon-

the interest on that loan." said
Mr.. Quenstedt. He explained that
the county has to pay construc-
Ition bills on a Federal aid school
project until the building is fin

Also, the lawyers contend the
Negro children are not entitled
to relief because they have failed
to carry the burden of proof
they have been denied admit
lance to white schools.
Remedies Not Used
8. They have not exhausted
their administrative remedies.
The school boards claim the Me-
groes have made only general
requests that the respective
schools systems be reorganized
Thus, in fact" the briefs state,
"the appellees (Negroes) have
mot even resorted to the admin
Iistrative remedies, though the

be exhausted before seeking in
junctive relief"
In the Charlottesville case. the
school board charges Federal
Judge John Paul abused his dis
cretion by entering an order re-
quiring the city to integrate its
schools by September. 1856.
The brief contends Judge Paul
departed from a trend of deci-
sions made in other States with
heavy Negro populations by or
dering immediate desegregation
and. in so doing, imposed an
almost impossible task on the
board.

Warren d. Quenstedt told a
Fairfax County civic group last
night that he was scared to
death about the future Of Vir-
Iginia schools under the Stanley
plan.
Mr.. Quenstedt is. the Demo-
cratic nominee for Congress in
nearby 10th district. running
against Republican Representa-
tive Joel T. Broyhill.
The school question was
raised by a member Of the audi
ence who wanted to know Mr..
IQuenstedt's opinion of legisla-
ton adopted at the recent Gen.
Ieral Assembly session to pre-
serve segregation in Virginia
The legislation would withhold
State funds from elementary OF
high schools in any communities
that are forced to integrate un-
der court order.
Would Seek U. 5. Aid
mo one really knows what
effect it is going to have. "
declared Mr.. Quenstedt. But
frankly, I am scared to death.
/ think everyone agrees we may
wind up with all our public
schools closed"
| He added that even propo-
nents of the Stanley plan did
not seem to think it would stand
up under its first court test.
The Democratic candidate told
the members of the Virginia
Hills Citizens Association that
he would seek Federal aid for
the 10th District if the State
Iwithholds school funds. He had
announced that proposal at an
earlier meeting of the Spring
field Citizens Association.
Another questioner at the vir-
GINA Hills meeting asked Mr.,
Quenstedt how he felt about in
Itegration.

anywhere near indignation. .
said Mr.. Quenstedt. THE SUI

must not segregate students or

law of the land. How we car
meet it must be worked out and
we already have wasted two
years getting started"

q one-two punch-once in an
afternoon statement from his
Baltimore Office and again at

Butler-on domestic policy. He
charged that Butler has begun

Mr.. Mahoney said Mr.. Butler

niques of campaigning in 1856,
as he did in 1880" He referred
to the controversial campaign in
which Butler defeated former
Democratic Senator Millard E.
Tydings. The Democratic sena-
torial candidate charged, ut is

cent utterances, that Mr.. Butler
is still following techniques of
campaigning which come right
