NAACP Hits Placement Act
In Arlington Schools Appeal

RICHMOND. Dec. % R.-
The National Association for
the Advancement OF Colored
People said today virglnia's
Pupil Placement Act does not
Justify Arlington County's re-
fusal TO admit Negroes to its
white schools.
The NAACP attacked the
placement law in a reply brief
filed with the Federal 4th Cir
cult Court Of Appeals here and
at the same time defended a
Federal Judges order directing
the county TO admit Negro
children to its white schools.
Judge Albert v. Bryan Of
Alexandria had ordered Ar
lington County to admit seven
Negroes last fall but his order
was stayed pending an appeal
to the circuit court.
Arguments on the appeal will
be heard in Charlotte, N. c.,
January Q and much Of the
courtroom debate will center on
the Virginia Pupil Placement
Act.
In their brief. NAACP lawyers
argue that remedies provided
by the placement law are in
adequate. Furthermore. the
NAACP argues, the right of
Negroes to attend nonsegre-
gated schools was established
prior TO the enactment of the
act by the General Assembly in
1886.
In his order directing admis-

Virginia Areas Accept
Closed Door Sessions

Governing bodies in Northern
Virginia frequently conduct
their business behind closed
doors.
The Arlington Boards record
Of closed sessions is relatively
low. This has been PARTLY due
TO the stand Of Ralph Kaul. a
member Of the board and a
member Of the County's liberal
faction. who said earlier this
year that he would not condone
closed sessions.
The Arlington School Board
met on December 81 without
notifying the public. Two
minority conservative members
OF the board protested that the
public should have been noti-
fed of the meeting. at which
an architects contract was
awarded.

Hcials envy the Alexandria City
