R.-Republican Ted Dalton
charged here last night that
the Democrats are trying to

lack Of a plan" to handle court
DEGREES in school segregation
suits.
The G. o. p. candidate for
Governor said he was calling
on 1.-THE citizens Of all Virginia
to get busy and fight with a
whole heart to keep the ma
chine from scuttling the public
schools of Virginia"
Mr.. Dalton told a 9Th district
Republican rally that his Dem
ocratic opponent, J. Lindsay
Almond. jr.. says there is no
plan beyond cutting the funds
and closing the schools-and
that is a program Of suicide,
not defense"
Even Democratic officials
are beginning to see this, and
one Of them Phillips Burks,
treasurer Of Bedford County,
asked for an explanation as to
just how that plan would work.
THE machines attorney gen.
erals outline raises more ques-
tons than it answers. and
fails completely to answer the
biggest quetSion in all-how
can Virginia's separate schools
be saved?" Mr.. Dalton de-
clared.
He said his chief concern"
is what have United States
Senator Byrd. Gov. Stanley
and Mr.. Almond to offer ito

Mr.. Dalton said he was

Thomson Calls
Books Inquiry
Misunderstood
Wanted Available
Reference Lists,
Hits Distortion

Alexandria Delegate James
NJ. Thompson said today that
the Juror set of by his request
that school book data be sup
piled to his Racial Activities
Committee was based on a mis-
understanding.
Earlier this month, Mr..
Thomson, committee chairman.
asked the principals Of all sec
ondary schools in nearby Vir-
ginia for textbook and refer
ence book data.
Specifically. the letters to
the principals requested infor-
nation on the textbooks on
social studies, history, civics,
government and general edu-
cation. The delegate also asked
for similar data on reference
books dealing with the subjects.
Visited By Parents
Mr.. Thomson emphasized
that he had acted as commit
tee chairman in an effort to
determine whether "there is
any racial information relating
to migration which should be
brought to the attention of the
(full) committee. HE said he,
along with some Of the other
committee members, had
launched this inquiry after re-
ceiving visits from parents who
believed some of the reference
books contain material which
encourages racial indignation.
Mr.. Thomson's move spanked
a wave Of protests from his
legislative colleagues in North
ern Virginia, particularly the
Arlington delegates.
Arlington School Supt. T.
Edward Rutter sent Mr.. Thorn
son the requested textbook
information, but said that
supplying the reference book
data would require too much
clerical work.
Mr.. Rutter. who acted after
consulting with the school
board chairman and the board
attorney. pointed out that this
response was in line with an
established policy in dealing
with similar requests from
citizens.
Accuses Newspapers
Today. Mr.. Thomson de-
clared:
Certain would-be politicians
have deliberately distorted the
purpose (of his school book
request) and they have been
aided in their attempts by GER
tain Washington newspapers. {"
The delegate then went on
to explain that there had been
a basic confusion created by a
misunderstanding of what in
formation he. as committee
chairman, was seeking.
Mr.. Thomson explained that
school officials thought that he
was asking that the reference
books be catalogued. What he
meant to ask for. Mr.. Thomson
said. was merely any aVailab BILE
lists Of reference books, which
the teachers use for supple
mentary reading.
1T was my intention to OBJ
tain q list Of reference books
which I feel sure each teacher
must give her students. / had
no intention Of requesting an
impossible assignment of the
school authorities.
Mr.. Thomson added that he
has written school officials new
letters explaining the misunder-
standing.
The Thomson Committee
was established by the 1856
Virginia General Assembly as
part Of a package of anti-inte-
grafton bills. The principle
reason for setting up the Thorn
son Committee was to limit
the activities Of the National
Association. for the Advance
ment Of Colored People.
