Appeals took the Norfolk and
Newport News desegregation
cases under Amusement.
Validity Of the placement law
Is a major issue in the two
cases.
Mr.. Almond told the court
that Mrs. Theo. T. DeFebio OF
Fairfax County already has
undertaken to test legality OF
the placement laws before the
state Supreme Court of Appeals
MRS. DeFebio's two school,
sge sons were dropped from
fairfax County schools after she
reused to sign placement appli-
cations for them. On Monday
the State Supreme Court of APP
peals agreed to hear her case
IN September.
Forecasts Ruling
Because Of that case, Mr.
Almond said he saw mo escape
from the proposition that the
Supreme Court Of Appeals will
be called on to pass on the con-
stitutionality Of this act (the
placement law both under the
state and Federal constitutions. +"
us it your suggestion then
tnet we should hold our own
eecision until the State Supreme
Court passes on that?" asked
Chief Judge John Parker.
'That is the suggestion I want
tomake." replied Mr.. Almond.
Notes Importance
Judge Parker told Mr.. Al
mond 1t would be important to
know the State courts interpre-
tation Of the placement law III
the decision in this case de-
ponds on Chapter 10 (the place.

"But If this court felt ir-

The placement law is part of
the legislative program Virginia
adopted last fall to preserve
aggregated schools. 1t vests all
student assignment power in a
ynree-member State board.
After the Norfolk and Newport
News desegregation suits were
filed, the State argued they
should be dismissed because an
adequate remedy-the place.

Judge Walter Hoffman denied
the State motion. and held the
placement law unconstitutional

New Belt Road

The Alexandria City Council
last night approved the State
Roads Commissions proposed
route for the Washington Cir
cumferential Highway through
the city.
After a debate that took ur
most Of q five-hour session, the
council unanimously backed the
highway route westward from
the Woodrow Wilson Bridge to
an interchange at Van Dorm
street just south Of the city.
Mayor Leroy S. Bendheim
noting that most Of the discus
sion concerned routes through
the city from the three planned
interchanges. asked for ap-
prevail. He said the State
would begin construction in
September.
City Manager e. @. Heatwole
said mo connection will be
permitted between the city and
the bridge east Of Washington
street unless the proposed
waterfront highway is con-
structed."
The bridge construction will
extend to Royal street, where 1t
will connect with the highway.
Bridge construction is expected
to begin next April, the city
manager said.
The highway will run along the
line Of the old Manassas Gar
railway. It will be elevated above
Royal so the latter can be ex-
tended to Hunting Towers. Mr.
Heatwole said.
The new highway viii run
under Mount Vernon Memorial
Boulevard and under U. S. /,
where an interchange will be
constructed. A second inter.
change in the city will be located
west Of Telegraph road.
The council approved lin prin-
ciple" the opening Of Second
street onto the George Wash
ington Parkway.

ment procedure was "a vain
thing" because other legislation
adopted at the same time pro-
vides for the closing of any
schools where indignation occurs,
and the Withholding Of State
funds from any integrated school
system.
Attorneys for the National
Association for the Advancement
OF Colored People. representing
the Negro plaintiff, stressed the
effect Of Gov. Stanley's school
closing and fund cutoff legisla-
ton in their arguments yester-
day.
IF a Negro child applied and
was admitted to a white school
the effect Of the statute would be
to cut of State aid" commented
Judge Parker. Il would think
this would seriously hamper the
operation Of the school. Do you
not think this would have an
effect on the minds Of the
placement boaTd?"
Mr.. Almond replied that the
impact would be the same on
Negro and white children alike.
He reiterated that localities
could operate integrated schools
without State aid.
Sees Exclusion
THAT might be theoretically
correct, but as a practical mat
ter wouldn't 1t result in a child
being excluded from SCHOOL,"
suggested Judge Parker. Most
school officials wouldn't be will
ing TO cut of 100000 in school
funds for the sake Of one child.
What I'm suggesting is the
statute puts a child at a tremen-
dous disadvantage"
At another point, Judge Park
er commented: IF you say to
the placement board they can
put a Negro pupil In a white
school but say TO place a Negro
child there would take away a
large percentage Of school funds.
aren't you virtually saying there
is no place for a Negro student
In white schools?"
Judge Parker also questioned
the State arguments that the
automatic closing law would not
necessarily keep schools closed.
T. Justin Moore, ST., attorney
for Newport News, said the law
permits the opening of the
schools II the governor, local
school board or local governing
body decides to reopen them.
If a child is to be appointed
to a school operated by the
State. how can you say the
right is there II 1t depends on
action BY the governor, the
local school board. or the city
council2' asked Judge Parker.

Mr.. MARYLAND proposed tn
1858. This years budget aloe
equipment and 1927. 800 for cap
ltal construction.
The new four-part budget pro.
poses: $2.e09.9l0 for capital
construction: $788.030 for opera
tons and equipment: $3l6.52C
for the city water system, and
100000 for a revolving con-
struction fund.
The water system and re-
volving fund form separate Sec
tions Of the budget for the first
time this year.
The mayor and council will
hold public hearings on the
budget next Monday and Tues
day.
The city has gradually re-
duced its tax rate from the 80
per cent rate Of 1854.
Biggest slice Of the proposed
budget - $2.399.570 - is ear
marked for building a water line
to the Potomac River and reno
waiting water lines within the
city. Another $4,000 would be
spent to build an auditorium at
the city's new >Glenview civic
center.
The city is able to undertake
such a big hike in expenditures
and still lower the tax rate by
using $2.524,570 from recently
sold bonds for the water line
and auditorium projects. Only a
small principal payment and in
tereSt is due on these bonds in
the coming fiscal year.
Mr.. MARYLAND pointed out
that the city's assessable tax
base has increased from about
SAT million to about $50 million.

revenue:

granting Of q liquor license to
a proposed floating casino.
When the Southern Maryland
county recently approved a IL
cense application for use Oh
Freestone Point, Va, in the
Maryland-owned Potomac, Gov
McKeldin voiced strong objec-
tions.
Last Tuesday the county COM
missioners overlooked protests
by Gov. McKeldin and Gov
Stanley Of Virginia and refused
to revoke the liquor license
granted by the county board Of
license commissioners.
Protest Pointed Out
Gov. McKeldin accused the
county officials Of a selfish dis
regard Of good neighborly rela-
TONS and this brought Q reply
from John L. Sullivan, president
of the commissioners, in behalf
of himself and w. Edward Berry,
the other Democratic commits
sioner.
Mr.. Sullivan said I'VE cannot
help but feel that it Is an at
tempt by you to resort to petty
politics to whitewash your past
actions on these matters and put
on q new coat Of shining armor
with which to wage the battle Of
seeking another political ONCE. I"
In replying to MIR. Sullivan,
Gov. McKeldin pointed out that
he had registered his original
protest with the license COM
missioners.
Your letter." he said, writ
ten to me despite the fact that
! had addressed no protest to
you, is indicative Of q feeling
Of guilt or, at least. q twinge OF
conscience which may hold forth
some hope for the exercise Of a
greater sense Of propriety in flu
ture actions"
The Governor previously had
said the license obviously is in
tended to fiout the Virginia law"
which prohibits the sale of
liquor by the drink.
Gov. McKeldin denied a
charge by Mr.. Sullivan that he
had ignored similar incidents
which have taken place in the
past several years"
He cited records Of protests
made by him to the st. Mary's
board Of license commissioners
over the establishment Of piers
in the Potomac on Ophelia and
Coles Point. Va. in 1851 and
1858.
Protested Licenses

tested against any issuance of
