overwhelming issue" is 'wheth-
er to accept indignation in our
public schools or to oppose in
tegration with all the powers

GAS Mr.. Dalton is working in
close cooperation with the Ma
tional Republican administra-
ton, and especially with the
political strategist, Attorney

cede that he knows much more
about the plans Of the Federal
Government than any other

said Senator Byrd. He said use

as possible.

in behalf of massive resist

of the Supreme Court which
would indicate that limited in
tegration would be acceptable"
said Senator Byrd.

Attorney General Brownell has
taken charge Of integration in
the District. and declared:
This can be accepted as the
pattern that is desired by the
Federal Government. 1t has

of Virginia will place at the
head of this Government one
who's philosophy as expressed
in this campaign and one who's
admission demonstrates he is
the hostage of the administra-
ton in Washington that would
barter away the Constitution
of the United States and
transgress on the rights of q
sovereign people"
