Virginia Stalled
On Solution Of
School Issue
BY ALEX r. PRESTON
Star staff Correspondent

RICHMOND, Sept. 12.-Vir-
ginia's General Assembly today
was virtually stalemated on at
tempts to arrive at solution of
the public school segregation is
sue.
After nearly two and half
weeks of a special session, the
Legislature had received scores
of conflicting plans. There has
been one compromise after an
other and compromise on COM
promise.
Administration forces were ex-
Ipected to come out today or
tomorrow with a revision of
Gov. Stanley's program designed
to prevent the slightest amount
of integration anywhere in Vir-
ginia.
A high-level conference of
Democratic organization leaders
in the Governors Office yester-
day sought to stave off the
threat of a deadlock or mere
narrow margin of victory for
the Stanley plan.
Their stand was emphasized
yesterday as the House adopted
a joint resolution urging every
honorable, legal and constitu-
tional means" to avoiding the
mixing of the races in public
schools.
Statement of Policy
Delegate John Boatwright, it's
sponsor, said it was merely a
statement of policy and a con-
Itinuation of the position taken
in a resolution of interposition
last January.
The latest proposal reported
ready to be offered by the Gov
errors adherents will hold to
the interposition principle, under
which the sovereignty of the
Commonwealth is matched
against that of the United States.
Keystone of the Governors
program is to withhold State
funds from any locality with in
ltegrated schools, In a move to
test the sovereign powers of the
State versus the Federal Gov
lernment. the administration last
week offered legislation that
would make the Governor ex-
Iclusively responsible for assign
ling white pupils to white schools
and Negro pupils to Negro
schools.
Opponents Argument
Some saw the possibility that
the Governor might be jailed by
"a Federal Court if he defied the
Supreme 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 Gen.
|eral Assembly in maintaining
segregated schools. The l4O
members of the State Legisla-
ture would assume the RESPONSE
Ibility 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 childs
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. If a
child of one race were assigned
ito a school attended by those of
the other race, then an "assign-
ment 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

Stubborn Winter
SIOW To Yield
Springs ArriUdL

Bluffton residents shivered last
week as the weatherman ignored the
approach Of spring and temperatures
dropped to chilly eight degrees
above zero Saturday. The cold blasts
kept many persons near the fireplace
but did not hamper the spirits Of the
Irish on st. Patrick's Day.
The eight degree above zero mer-
curry readings helped bring the aver
age temperature for the first three
weeks of March to 1913 degrees, more
than 10 degrees below the normal
monthly average Of 38.4.
The coldest March goth ever re-
corded in the area came Tuesday
morning when the thermometer show
ed reading of 10 degrees above
zero. The lowest temperature prev
iously recorded on that day was in
1892 when the mercury skidded 10
IL above.
Wednesday morning the sun shown
brightly but the air was still brisk
and few pedestrians shed their winter
coats as the temperature remained
in the mid-20's.
Ray Burkholder, Pandora, area
weather observer, recorded 10 inches
of snow during the week. This was a
far cry from the record falls in the
eastern section of the United States
where traffic and communication sys-
TENS were at standstill. Some states
along the eastern seaboard recorded
21 inches of snow in blizzards there.
Heaviest snowfall in the area came
Friday when five inches were record
ed. Four and half inches fell We'd
pesday and another half inch fell Sat
urday.

did more floating than swimming"
Jerusalem provided the most con-
centrated group of interest points,
Marlin wrote. He told of visiting the
Garden Tomb, Garden of Gethsemane,
the Mt. of Olives, Church of Nativity
in nearby Bethlehem.
"Walking the narrow streets of
Jerusalem we noticed many wares
in the open-front shops. The narrow
streets are a great contrast to the
streets of Bluffton. Most of hem are
too narrow and winding for motor
traffic, and donkeys and carts are the
most prevalent mode of transporta-
ton"
Crossing into the New Jerusalem
which is controlled by Israel the PAX
group visited Mt. Carmel where they
stayed for three days. Enroute, the
group passed-Ain Karen, birthplace
of John the Baptist; Shiloh where
the Ark of the Covenant stood 20
years, and Ashkalain where Samson
slew the 10000 hilistines.
Collectivist Settlement Is Host
"a Jewish collective settlement was
our host for dinner one day. These
settlements are a concentration of
people living and working together,
pooling all their efforst for each
others support.
"Vesper services on the shores of
the Sea of Galilee led by our PAX
Pastor proved to be one of the most
impressive memories of the entire
trip for me. With a good imagination,
one could add to the fishing boats, the
nets and water there; the multitudes
and Christ's disciples to paint scene
as it could have been nearly 1000
years ago."
Nazareth, City of $4,000
"About half hours drive from the
sea, we visited Jesus boyhood town,
Nazareth, which is now city of
$4,000 people," Marlin wrote.
The former Bluffton student found
Israel, in general, very progressive
but said that donkeys, sheep and even
camels still aid the poorer farmers
with their work.
From Tel Aviv, the group flew to
Rome in six hours, and found the day
spent there far too short for seeing
the sights they would have liked to
have seen.
"The tour was considered our va
cation time for the year, and it pro-
vided a most worthwhile winter re-
treat Of learning and fellowship" y"
Marlin concluded.
