|voids School
milk Contract

The Montgomery County
Board Of Education. attempt
ing to mop Up q spilled milk sit
uation, last night rescinded a
contract worth $350,000 for the
purchase of school milk for the
coming school year.
The board announced 1t
would seek new bids for the
furnishing of milk. in an at
tempt to settle q three-week-old
controversy over the contract.
On July 1. the board awarded
10 contract to the Chestnut
Farms Dairy, which had SUBJ
mitted the lowest quoted prices
for the milk. This action came
after the dairy had protested
procedures used in the opening
Of quotations solicited by the
cafeteria division Of the school
system.
Last week, several other
diaries protested against the
awarding of the contract to
Chestnut Farms. maintaining
they had understood all the
bids they had submitted were
to be rejected and new bids
sought.
The board was told last night
by its attorney, Charles Pretty.
man, that the Chestnut Farms
contract should be rescinded
because the cafeteria division
did not legally advertise for
bids, but solicited bids from
only a select number Of diaries.
The boards reversal also will
affect impending contracts for
ice cream and bread. Bids for
these commodities, too, had
been solicited by the cafeteria
division without public adver-
tising, but the board deferred
acceptance Of any Of the bids.
Lathrop Smith. board chair
man, indicated that the board,
hereafter. will insist on what
he called legal purchasing"
methods in the purchase Of
foodstuffs for the 100-school
cafeteria program.

specified that his ruling should
not be taken TO exempt stu
dents from complying with
whatever proper assignment
procedure might be adopted
subsequently by the Virginia
General Assembly.
Had Virginia's new place.
ment law been upheld, Judge
Bryan's decree clearly left the
way open for the State to use
it in Arlington County.
The Senate is expected to
resist any change in the Ar
lington and Charlottesville
mandates.
Conference Dates Set
The conference in the Char
lottesville case will be held
July 26 at Harrisonburg. and
the Arlington conference will
be held July 90 before Judge
Bryan.
Counsel for the Norfolk and
Newport News school boards
meanwhile are awaiting word
from Chief Judge John j,
Parker of the Fourth Circuit
Court of Appeals on their plea
to withhold a mandate until
the United States Supreme
Court passes on the cases.
If the mandate is entered
before schools open in Septem-
Der. the NAACP Is expected to
make application directly to
local school boards for admis-
sion of Negro students to white
schools. Any racial mixing in
Virginia schools would invoke
the Stanley laws, which provide
for the closing of any schools
or classrooms where indignation
occurs, and the automatic with
holding of State funds from
such school systems.

The appointment question
was brought to the court for a
decision by David L. Krupsaw
and Ralph Raul. the County
Boards more liberal members.
Their attorneys. Edmund D,
Campbell and Karl G. Sorg,
argued that the 1858 board
should fill the vacancies. Com
monwealth's Attorney William
j. Hassan and his chief assis-
tant. K. McFarlane Smith, took
the opposite position.
The statute in question says
that the appointments shall be
made "as the terms of the
(School Board) members" sue
cessively expire. Mr.. Campbell
argued that the word "as" bars
appointment before the terms
run out and therefore the va
cancies must be filled by next
years County Board.
Other Contentious
Mr.. Campbell and Mr.. Sorg
also contended that. without
specified authority. no official
or governing body can appoint
to a term which does not be-
gin until after the expiration
of the term Of the appointing
party-in this case the County
Board.
The opposing attorneys. Mr..
Hassan and Mr.. Smith. argued
that the Moncure bill changed
only the method Of selection Of
School Board members, and not
the timing. This method of Sc
Ilecting officials in advance Of

uIlIll 1901.
Yesterday. after hearing ar
gumentS, Judge Mccarthy
asked opposing attorneys to
submit a list of their case au-
thorities. Both sides said they
expected to have their memo
randum in by the end Of the
week.
Judge Mccarthy, at the close
OF the hearing, said his tenta-
tive opinion was that a literal
reading Of the statute in ques-
ton tended to substantiate the
argument that appointments
should be made by the 1858
board.
However, the judge added,
the overall intention" Of the
General Assembly in enacting
the law gives weight to the
contrary viewpoint - appoint
ment by the current board.
Calls Law Ambiguous
II am convinced" Judge Nc
earthly commented. that the
statute is completely and thor
oughly ambiguous"
The law in question = the
amended Moncure bill was en-
acted by the General Assembly
last year. 1t took away Airing
tons right to elect its School
Board in favor OF appointment
by the County Board.
The timing Of the appoint
ments for two School Board
terms beginning January / is
significant because County
Board control is at stake in the
November 5 general election.
The present County Board,
with a 3-to-2 conservative ma
jority. would appoint conserva-
tive majority, would appoint
conservative School Board
members. However. II would be
q different story II the con-
servatives lose board control in
November and the vacancies
are filled by the 1858 board.

Lavagetto. The Cuban first

to .313. and Cookie gave it to
him. But Julio has obtained
only four hits in his last &c
tries, his average has Sagged to

Schulz if he continues to hit.
Schult is the fifth first base
man to be tested by the Sen

that position and Art is hoping
to supply it.
Sievers Hits 21St
Washington accumulated 13
hits against Don MoSsi and
Mike Garcia last night, with
Sievers cracking his 21st homer
and a single. Lemon slammed
two doubles and a single in

Chuck Stobbs, who required

Dick Williams.
