tinue in their professions and

is important that they con-
tinue their usefulness and
contribution to society. They
could be very happy among
other citizens of their age,
enjoying conversation, COM
panionship and kindness. and
thus alternating the tension
and anxiety in SO many
homes where there are small
children as we'll as teen-agers

The most wonderful solu-
ton is converting the beau

rity can be used for this pur-
pose. along with contribu-

Perhaps it is wishful think

as We watched one of the
Presidents press conferences.
However. we prefer TO believe
that the lack of enthusiasm

CrumbIinq Resistance

Federal Judge Bryan'S latest ruling
In the Arlington school case punches
another hole in Virginia'S tottering wall
Of massive resistance" to desegregation.
1t may not mean that Negro chill
dren will be admitted to white schools
in September. For the States pupil
placement plan presumably must be
tested in specific case, and that will
take time.
We do not think there is any pros
pect, however, that the placement plan,
another name for an assignment plan,
can survive. 1t is tied tightly into the
STANLEY package" which requires,
among other things the maintenance
of an efficient public school system"
which, in turn, is defined in so many
words as being a segregated school
system.
If there is any certainty, it is that
the courts eventually will hold this plan
to be unconstitutional. And when that
time comes the people of Virginia will
be faced with their hard decision-shall
they desegregate or shall they close their
schools?
In this situation, it seems to us that
some plain talk is called for from the
Democratic and Republican gubernato-
rial ndidateS-LindSay Almond and
Ted Dalton. Where do they stand and
what do they propose to do? Both of
these gentlemen probably will try to
straddle the issue until after the No
vember election. For vote gained by
candid statement in Northern Virginia
could we'll mean vote lost South of the
James. We are confident, however, that
neither Mr.. Almond nor Mr. Dalton, both
being good lawyers, has the slightest
faith in the efficacy of the Stanley plan.
They know in their hearts that Virginia
will have to accept some indignation or
close its schools, and one may hope, at
least, that each man will give the voters
some indication as to what he thinks
should be done-if and when he becomes
the next Governor of Virginia.

Ruth s. johnson.

The background and devel-
opment of "isms" teacher
training in the public schools
of Montgomery County has
several questionable aspects
tending to raise serious
doubts of the propriety and
integrity of this projected
program.
The esteemed and learned
DR.. Charles w. Lowry. chair
man of the Foundation for
Religious Action in the Social
and Civil Order (FRASCOJ i,
together with former Super
intendent Norris promoted
and established a teacher
training workshop on COM
munism. its deceptive and
brutal methods and its evil
and tragic results. Those
teachers whose subjects touch
on communism were to be
provided with more supple
mentary material and better
audio-visual aids" At this
point it seems that both DR..
Lowry and DR.. Norris bowed
out Of the picture and the
workshop project was taken
over by others.
From the possibly worth
while project espoused by DR..
Lowry and DR.. Norris. the
teachers workshop about
communism" has been made
ridiculous. The coverage of
this already-too-short course
on communism has been ex-

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

Summer proves again that
the most Objectionable sight
in town is the man with his
shirttail out.
Custom and the centuries
enforced the unwritten law
that the tail of a mans shirt
should be in.
World Wars I and II
changed all that.
Men now wear their clothes
as they please, at least to a
certain citified limit, and the
ladies wear their garments as
they please-as always.
Men who think women
dress for their benefit are
very much mistaken. al
though it is a hard thing to
prove, one way or the other.
In the wake of wars.
strange things happen, and
nothing is stranger than the
history of the shirt.
The modern variety called
sports" comes with open
neck and short sleeves, and
is a good thing. too-except
when it hangs out.
This ought to be banned
by law. except there are too
many things banned now
and nobody pays much at
tention to them.
So We may suspect that
men. young and old, will con-
tInue TO rejoice IN the I'M
stuffed-in shirt, despite old
fashioned ideas.
Era
The one thing worse is
when the young lady of the
family wears daddy's shirt
and her own shorts.
She always selects a white
shirt with good long tail.
If she SWITCHED a sports
shirt it wouldn't be quite so
bad.
This outlandish costume
makes it appear to the
shocked old-timer that she
has nothing on at all except
the upper garment.
Forty wears ago. a young
lady would have been tsker
TO the police station for such
a garb.
We saw man on Pennsyl-
vania avenue the other day
VINO put up an even worse
appearance.
He had an old-fashioneo
tailed shirt-out. Of course
And he had the front un-
buttoned and spread out sc
that his entire torso va'
bare.
He walked in an uncon-
cerned fashion. and it was
true nobody seemed 70 look

ish look. just the same.
The variety Of informal
male and female costumes
today passes belief. unless
you stand on a busy corner
in the suburbs.
There you see the thing in
full flower.
1t is tossup who looks
worse. the men. the women.
the girls or the boys.
Our vote goes to the teen
age girls.
For sheer asininity and
ugliness of garb. nobody but
nobody. as the silly saying
has it, can beat the teen
ager, female variety.
She can evolve something
weird out OF almost nothing,
and We mean nothing.
