Omits Reference
To NuIIificotion
BY a Star stan Correspondent

RICHMOND, Jan. ia reso-
luton of interposition was ready
for introduction in the General
Assembly today as Virginia's
latest method of resisting the
Supreme Court decision banning
racially segregated schools.
State Senator Harry Stuart Of
Russell County said Is State
Senators would sponsor the
move.
The resolution has been wa
tered down from its original
form after a careful going over
by the 10 sponsors. 1t now con-
tains no reference to nullifica-
ton of the Supreme Court order
nor to section 140 of the Viz
Iginia constitution which requires
segregated schools.
"Stil Has All the Teeth"
This is not the result Of a
dental extraction-it still has all
the teeth in it," Senator Stuart
said.
The title of the resolution
reads, "Interposing the sover-
eighty of Virginia against en-
Icroachment upon the reserved
power of this State and appeal
ing to sister States to resolve
Ia question Of constitutional
power"
The resolution makes three
principal points after asserting
that a question of contested
power has arisen from the Su-
Ipreme Courts segregation de-
Icision and from the principles
stated in the resolution. The
points are as follows:
Virginia, for its part. as
serts it has never surrendered
its powers to maintain racially
segregated schools.
Virginia challenges "the
Iusurped authority that would in
iict incalculable harm to the
public schools and would dis.
lr1pt the education Of her chill.

crude mortality rate has dropped
an amazing 46e6 since 1900-from
17.2 deaths per 1000 population in
1900 to 90 in 1954--according to
Progress in Health Services, a new
monthly Health Information Foun-
dation bulletin which will inter-

Crude" mortality is based upon
the number of deaths recorded In
a calendar year per 1000 popula-
tion-regardless of age. sex and
cause of death. The Foundation
noted that, if 1900 mortality rates
had prevailed in 1850, the nation
would have had slightly more than
twice the deaths than occurred
that year.
