grafton. while Virginia's. does
not.
This difference stems from
the basic difference in strategy
and in legal opinions as to
which plan is likely to prove
more durable under attacks in
the Federal courts-which will
preserve the most segregation
for the longest time.
Court Refusals Seen
Advocates Of the North Caro-
lima plan contend Virginia's
placement act and other links
which form the chain of mas
sive resistance are doomed to
early legal knockouts in the
Supreme Court. They say this
is so because the whole pattern
plainly and explicitly forbids
any Indignation and def1es the
Supreme Court.
By contrast, they contend,
the North Carolina plan will
stand up in the courts because
it is not part Of a rigid no.
indignation pattern. A little
token indignation where it is
locally acceptable, they say. will
serve to keep most schools
segregated.
Advocates of Virginia's UNI
yielding resistance strategy
scott at the idea that any pupil
assignment plan which sane
tons indignation will effectively
preserve segregation. On the
contrary, they say. pupil as.
signment will lead to fast
mushrooming indignation. An
integration. as they see it, will
surely destroy the public
schools.
Champions of the Virginia
plan made some capital of what
happened in Virginia and in
North Carolina when the
schools opened. North Caro-
lima, they pointed out, had in
and some disorders Of
disturbances. eleven colored
children were admitted to pre-
viously all-white schools in
three cities. Charlotte, Green's
boro and Winston-Salem And
Virginia schools opened with
the segregation front unbroken,
and without any disorder or
trouble.

to work together to solve the
Potomac's complex develop

DC. StudyDue
To Exceed Limit

Prospects of a new Congress
sional committee set up to
study Metropolitan Area prob
lens completing its work in the
allotted is months are slim,
Representative Hyde, Repub-
lican Of Maryland, said yester-
day.
Representative Hyde, a mem
Der Of the special six-man
House-Senate group, said, how
ever, that he feels confident the
committee will be able to con-
vince Congress that money to
carry on after January 1859
deadline should be appropriate
ed.
The appeal for the needed
funds will be made by the COM
mlttee when it submits q pre-
liminary report on January is,
1858.
In setting up the special
committee Congress has allo-
Gated $4,000. so far, to finance
the first phase Of the study.
The committee is made up of
three members Of the Senate
and three members of the
House District committees.
The Maryland Republican,
who authored the joint resolu-
ton establishing the special
body. said it was not the pur-
pose Of the committee to
"superimpose a super-govern-
ment or to usurp the powers"
OF area local governments.
He added, THE purpose is to
determine what area problems
are, how the problems are being
dealt with and how they are
affecting the District of CO.
lumbia.

made yesterday on the WTOP-'

lItlpSCuSp anu leIL the issue
headed for increasing debate
in the gubernatorial campaign
between Democrat j. Lindsay
Almond, IT,. and Republican
Ted Dalton.
Mr.. Almonds position, not
yet spelled out in specific de-
tail. Is firmly on the side OF
unyielding resistance. Mr.,
Dalton is just as firmly on the
side Of evasive resistance, or
specifically, O locally admins
tered pupil assignment plan
similar to the one in use in
North Carolina.
Both men have declared
themselves stout advocates of
continued segregation. Each
says the others approach won't
work but will lead only to early
and widespread indignation.
This conflict apparently will
be amplifled in great and con-
fuSing detail in the eight weeks
Of campaigning before Virgin
ians go to the polls November 5.
Since the Supreme Court in
1854 handed down its decision
declaring public school segre-
cation based on race was un-
constitutional. Southern States
have looked long and hard for
an answer to preserve the old
order.
Difference In Systems
The solutions brought forth
by Virginia and North Carolina
are greatly different, both in
theory and strategy.
Under Virginia's program,
put through the legislature by
the controlling Democratic or
ganization, no integra ton
would be permitted anywhere
in the public schools Of the
commonwealth. The accent is
on State control and would
close a school, If necessary. to
prevent inteRration.
The North Carolina APP
proach. in effect. gives each
city and county the option Of
deciding how to handle its own
school situation.
A locality may. by vote of its
people. decide to close the
schools rather than submit to
indignation.
Each State has its first line
Of defense. In Virginia. It is
the Pupil Placement Act. In
North Carolina. it is the pupil
assignment law.
The Virginia placement law
vests full powers Of assigning
pupils to schools in q three
member State boarh named by
the Governor. In North Caro-
lima. each school board retains
the assignment pozers. In both
States. the laws set forth many
legal standards for classifying
and assigning pupils, so that q
board may Segregate for almost
any reason other than race.

GOV. GORDON URGES AGREEMENT BY
LEGISLATORS ON BILLS TO SAVE TIME

Governor Gordon addressed the Virgin Islands Legisla-
tue at the opening of its special session yesterday and as
sured the members that nothing will be presented to the body
that will be slime consuming" Only things that are most
urgent for the benefit of the people. He said:
Mr.. President and Honorable members of the Legislature
Of the Virgin Islands.
, 1957-11-30

l have found it advisable to call
you together into special session to
consider and act upon several
matters which are OF sufficient
Importance to the proper func-
tioning of the Government and
to the people of the Virgin Is
lands to, in my opinion, justify the
call. / assure you that all the
items which / will present to you
on my agenda are of an urgent,
high priority nature; and should
not, if we are to properly serve
our people, be delayed until the
regular session in April of 1888.
The financial condition of the
Government Of the Virgin Islands
shows great Improvement over
the previous period for Fiscal
Year 1857. Subsequent to the
close of the last Fiscal Year, and
with the settling of accounts for
that year, it has been determined
by fiscal authorities of this Gov
eminent that there is available
for appropriation from the Gen.
eral Fund an amount not to ex-
coed $500, 900 for the current Fls-
cal Year.
/ have been advised of the
many deficiencies e xistln 6
throughout the various depart
nlents of the Government, and |
am anxious to correct some OF
these deficiencies at the earliest
possible time with the suggested
appropriations furnished in my
Proclamation of November ~,
1852.
/ am requesting of the Legis-
lature an additional appropriation
of $74,200 for the Department OF
Education to assist that Depart
ment in the discharge OF its I'M
portant responsibilities, including
funds for the elementary and
secondary school divisions and
additional money for the School
Lunch Program. The increase in
monies for the elementary and
secondary school division will
provide additional textbooks and
materials and supplies, the need
for which we are so aware.
/ am requesting an approprla-
ton of an additional $145,0O0 for
the Department of Public Works
in order that that Department
