Virginia Weighs Ending
Consent in Race Suits

the issue Of the rights guaran-
teed in the Federal Constitution
Representative Smith. Demo-
|crat Of Virginia. told q reporter
anything as fundamental as
the right even to bring a suit in
the Federal courts ought to be
thoroughly examined"
Would Highlight Rights"
The hope attached to the plan
apparently hangs on the belief
that the States gave certain
powers to the Federal Govern
ment but have never surrendered
the power to Ak the conditions
under which it or it's citizens
may be sued. Possibly. if the
local school divisions, or their
officials. were given immunity
the State itself would be brought
directly before the Supreme
Court.
This would bring the issue of
State sovereignty" more direct
ly to the forefront.
Mr.. Tuck touched on the idea
more than a year ago in sug-
gestions he put before the Gray
School Study Commission. The
commission, however, did not
include it in its recommendations
for a program of pupil assign
ment and proposed tuition grants
to private education.

advocated that time be given for
orderly accomplishment Of what
the Supreme Court said should
be done. I suggested no spirit of
vindicitiveness or riding rough
shod over anyone"
AS for the course he would
follow in the Appeals Court in
any segregation case. he said he
would observe the basic orders
of the Supreme Court, lust as
Federal judges are doing in the
South" In any kind of case, he
added, he would strive to i'm
pose self discipline on himself to
insure fairness for all litigants.
Parties Question
Senator O'Mahoney inter-
rupted to ask whether the Su-
preme Court follows the election
returns. Mr.. Sobeloff replied:
Don't you think I have enough
trouble without commenting on
that"
When the subcommittee adj
journed late yesterday the chair
man told reporters there would
be no further hearings. He and
Senator Watkins, Republican of
Utah, were the only members
present throughout the entire
day. Senator O'Mahoney said
they and the other subcommit-
tee members, Senators McClel-
Ian of Arkansas and Hennings
Of Missouri. and Welker, Repub-
lican of Idaho, will meet soon to
examine the long record and de-
eide what to recommend to the
full committee.

Arlington Vote
Urged on Court.
School Bonds

A $4,492,15o school bond is
sue approved yesterday by the
Arlington School Board would
provide funds for IS construc-
ton or planning projects.
The School Board voted to pc
tition the Circuit Court to set
a date for a referendum on the
bond issue. The board also urged
residents to approve $2.2 mil
lion bond issue for county court
house improvements. Both is
sues are expected to be voted on
at the same time. probably
June 5.
The biggest school project
would be a SIS million junior
high school on the old site Of
the Shirley homes housing prof.
ect of Arlington Ridge road.
The new school, to be called
Gunston Junior High School,
would have a capacity Of 1850
and would serve the southern
portion of the county. \
Other Units Planned
A second unit with a capacity
of 800 students, would be built
at Kenmore Junior High School
at a cost of 1925, 900. The first
unit of the school is scheduled to
open this fall.
A sum of SLOT $50 is set up for
planning a future SO million
senior high school on the site Of
the present Yorktown Elemen-
tary School. The new school
would have a capacity Of 1,400
students.
The remainder Of the bond
issue, with the exception OF $685.
900 for administration, would be
used for the elementary school
additions, remodeling and plan
ming projects.
$1.9 Million Project
The courthouse bond issue
would provide for replacing the
center structure of the existing
building with a six or eight story
building and adding a third floor
to the south wing. This would
cost an estimated $1.9 million.
The remainder Of the $2.2 mil
lion issue would be used for buy
ing sites for parking lots in the
courthouse area.
County Board Chairman Wes-
ley w. Cooper said the county
board and school board have in
formally agreed to seek the
referendum on both issues June 5.

RICHMOND. May S R.-Sev-
eral State leaders were reported
today to be considering a rather
basic move in their efforts to
preserve segregated schools in
Virginia.
The move. touched on more
than a year ago by Representa-
tive Tuck, Democrat of Virginia,
would have the General Assem-
bly,, in special session, withdraw
its consent for local school
boards to be sued on the school
tissue.
This idea-according to the
Ireport-was the topic of confer
ences earlier this week among
several Virginia congressman in
Washington and copies of a de-
tailed memorandum on the sub
|ject are being circulated.
Crux Of Proposal Noted
A major point in the discussion
was that proponents see the same
barrier that threatens to knock
down this as well as other care
fully laid plans to circumvent
the Supreme Courts decree The
barrier is the Supreme Court it.
self.
The constitutionality Of the
proposal-or its unconstitution-
ality-arises from the question
of whether the State or one Of
its governing arms or even local
officials and individuals should

and StenniS of Mississippi. Sen
tor Stennis charged that Mr.
Sobeloff's public speeches have
shown "a judicial philosophy
wholly foreign to the American
constitutional concept" He said
he did not believe that a judge
ship for Mr.. Sobeloff would be
in the best interests of the Ma
ton. the individual states and
the legislative powers Of Con-
gress.
Interest Change Aired
Senator Johnston based his
attack largely on complaints
that Mr.. Sobeloff during the
1930s was involved in a conflict
of-interests situation when he
accepted a court appointment to
investigate the liquidation of the
Baltimore Trust Co.
Senator Johnston asserted
that Mr.. Sobelotf later acted in
such a way as to affect adversely
the interests of a former client
A long array Of witnesses dis
puted those charges and declared
that numerous Investigations had
proved them groundless.
Witnesses indorsing Mr.. So
beloff included Senators Butler
and Beall Of Maryland, Judge
Morris Soper of the Fourth Cir
cult Court Of Appeals. Judge
Reuben Oppenheimer, speaking
for the Maryland Bar Associa-
ton; Howard C. Reigle, presi-
dent Of the Baltimore City Bar
Association; and Bernard j.
Flynn, former United State At
torney in Maryland.
Charles H. Rhyme, president
Of the District Bar Association
sent a letter urging confirmation.
Another District lawyer, James
j. Laughlin, appeared before the
subcommittee and claimed "that
sinister forces tried to keep this
nomination pigeonholed." He
predicted that Mr.. Sobelof
eventually would be appointed
to the Supreme Court.

Racial Stand
BY ROBERT X. WALSH

Solicitor General Simon E
Sobeloff, finally given a hearing
lon his nomination as a Federal
Circuit Judge, promised a Sen
ate subcommittee yesterday he
would rule on racial segregation
cases with moderation, impair
TALLY and with sympathetic
consideration Of the human ele-
ment on both sides"
He declared he never would
turn a court into a law-making
body on any matter that might
come before him for decision
He said he never had advocated
and never would sanction any
theoretical doctrine" contrary to
the Constitution.
His testimony climaxed a day.
long public hearing at which
several Senators, judges. bar as
sociation officers and attorneys
urged that he be confirmed
without further delay as a judge
OF the United States Court of
Appeals for the circuit covering
Maryland, Virginia and North
and South Carolina.
President Eisenhower first sub
United that nomination last July.
When the Senate failed to act
before adjournment the Presi-
dent submitted it again last
January.
Criticism Heard
The hearing yesterday before
the Senate Judiciary subcommit-
tee, headed by Senator O'Ma-
honey, Democrat Of Wyoming.
was marked by criticism by sew
eral Southern Senators as we'll as
various individual witnesses. The
subcommittee also received vo-
luminous documents and petit
tons opposing confirmation.
Much of the attack on Mr..
Sobeloff's nomination contended
that incidents in his legal career
in Baltimore in the l930s and
his more recently indicated views
on rectal aggregation and the
function of the Federal courts
hould disqualify him for judge
ship.
| Testifying under oath at his
own request, Mr.. Sobeloff took
issue with critics who said he be-
Ilieved the courts should legislate
and formulate national policy.
II have always emphasized the
obligation of observing the prin-
ciple of separation of powers in
the Government" he said. If I
am confirmed as a judge I GER
tainly would do what judges
swear to do when taking their
oaths of office. l would conflne
myself to the judicial sphere and
the separation of powers"
Denies Charge
Discussing the school segrega-
ton decisions of the Supreme
Court, the Solicitor General de-
MED he ever had advocated the
use of force in carrying out de-
segregation rulings.
Many persons, he said. mistak-
emily describe him as having pre-
sented the Governments argu-
ment on those cases in Deem
Der, 1858. He noted he did not
become Solicitor General until
February, 1854, and that the
high court handed down its de-
cision in May, 1854, outlawing
racial segregation in public
schools. He first participated in
arguments the following Deem
