Neff Sees Issue
OF Segregation

ROANOKE, April II tR.-
The greatest danger to the school
system in Virginia, William N.
Neff Of Abingdon said yesterday.
lis the issue Of segregation.
Mr.. Neff is president of the
Virginia Board of Education.
Addressing members of the
Virginia Superintendent of
Schools at three-day profess
sional workshop. he said: THE
greatest majority of our people.
i believe, are strongly opposed
to integration of schools.
I'VE can only hope that Fed
eral judges will give due con-
sideration to this massive and
deep-seated opposition to any
mixing Of the races"
Mr.. Nef commented there are
different shades of opinion on
what amount of integration
would justify iriuring tn e
schools in the State.
Many do not agree" he said,
Ito the definition Of integration
as the admission of one or a few
colored children in q predomi-
nantly white school. In areas Of
small colored population this Is
not felt to be a problem Of suffi-
cient Importance to justify clos
ing schools"
Mr.. Neff said patience and re-
spect for opinions of others must
be educated. He urged each
section to exercise liberation
and understanding for the feel
ings and problems of others.
I'm future actions, which must
be taken. no section or group
should seek to impose on others
a course of action which it re-
CARDS as harmful to its own vital
interests" he advised.

dinner the chamber is giving for
distinguished Virginians to pro-
mote the 350th anniversary of
the first English settlement at
jamestown Island.
Mr.. Kemp added that as far
as his authority extends he feels
sure the treatment accorded
Negroes on the invitation list
will be courteous If any choose
to show up at the dinner which
was planned as an all-white
party. The ultimate decision as
to procedure, he added, lies with
the chamber directors.
At the latest count invitations
were extended to three native
Virginia Negroes-Dr. Gillian B.
Powell. New York physician and
publisher; st. Clair Drake, a pro-
fessor at Roosevelt University in
Chricago. and Mrs. Ella P. Stew
art Of Toledo. Ohio.
Chamber officials, noting that
the invitations had slippe d
through a careful screening
process. hastily notified all three
that their invitations had been
withdrawn. Apologies were ex-
tended for any inconvenience or
embarrassment caused by the IN
cident.
Mrs. Stewart readily acceded
to the withdrawal and said she
felt Virginia has already been
embarrassed enough by its atti-
tude." She added she didn't want
TO attend and be embarrassed
personally.
At the outset of the incident
DR.. Powell and Mr.. Drake said
they expected to attend the din
ner unless Gov. Stanley rescinded
the invitations personally. Gov.
Stanley, who gave the chamber
permission to use his name as CO.
host of the dinner. was shunted
all inquiries back to the chamber.
Last night DR.. Powell, publish
.er Of the Amsterdam News in
New York's Harlem. reversed
himself and said he would not
attend the dinner.
In notifying Gov. Stanley and
the State chamber of his de-
cision. DR.. Powell said it Is den.
'nitely clear to all concerned that
your recision Of my invitation is
because of my race"
There was no indication that
Mr.. Drake would alter his plans
to attend the dinner.
Chamber officials. 1t was
learned. had considered making
no mention Of the errors In the
list when they were first dis
covered and to go ahead as
though it had been planned that
way.
The Governor also was repre-
sented as considering for a while
that this might be the best
course. Then the decision was
reached to have the chamber
recall the invitations.
