Virginia Sues TO Test
It's School Closing Law
Gov.AImond
Takes Over
In Warren
BY ALEX r. PRESTON
Star Stan Writer

RICHMOND. Va. Sept. 49,
Gov. Almond last night re-
moved the closed Warren
County High School from the
public school system and per-
sonally assumed call power and
control over it in behalf Of the
State"
Thus was set in motion for
the first time Virginia's massive
resistance machinery to bar in
tegration.
Closing Of the school, an aide
explained, was automatic when
the State and county failed to
win a stay Of Federal Judge
John Paul's order requiring adj
mission Of % Negro students at
the all-white high school. That
order takes effect Monday.
In anticipation of the Cover
nor's action and in the interest
of avoiding any disturbances,
the Warren County School
Board had declared the school
closed at the end of classes yes
terday.
Stage Set for Clash
The Governors action, which
sets the stage for a direct Fed
eral-State clash over schools
climaxed this series of rapid
developments in Virginia's
struggle to hold back integra-
ton:
/. The Warren County School
Board at a special meeting last
night rescinded its invitation
for the % Negroes to enroll al
the high school.
2. Seventeen of the % Negro
students involved in the inte-
grafton order we're refused en-
rollment at the school when
they appeared today at the Of
flee of Supt. @. D. Gasque. The
action had been anticipated
Mr.. Gasque said the enroll
ments could not be made be-
cause the county no longer had
control of the school.
8. The Norfolk School Board
took the first step toward as
signing II Negro students to
white schools by asking a Fed
eral Court to strike down a
State court injunction forbid
ding any assignments. The Iac-
ton was taken in spite of a
warning from the Governor
that local school boards were
under no compulsion to make
such a move.
Arlington Ruling Deferred
4. The State Pupil Placement
Board announced that it was
rejecting all Negro applications

The length OF this period Is
the question for negotiation,
with American authorities
hopeful that the bases viii re-
main available to American Air
Forces for at least several more
years.
The decision amounts to an
important concession by the
American Government in the
face of a stiffening attitude on
the part Of the Moroccan gov
eminent toward continued
American use of the airf1eldS
1t reflects recognition of the in
creasingly adificult position OF
the King of Morocco and his
pro-Western government be-
cause of increasing nationalist
presSures within the country.
u. S. Statement
In the wake of rumors ap-
pearing in the French press
over the last "a hours, the
American Embassy here has
been noncommittal. The official
statement issued yesterday said
simply:
Ambassador Charles w. YoSt
called on Prime Minister Bala-
fret September 10 to discuss
the status of our bases in Mo-
rocco. This was one Of a series
of meetings he and other United
States Embassy officials in Ra-
bat have had with officials of
the Moroccan government on
this question. The United States
Government is seeking to work
out an agreement with the Mo-
roccan government on opera
ton Of our bases in Morocco
that will prove satisfactory to
both Moroccan and United
States governments.
THE French have been kept
aware of our feelings of the
need to reach a satisfactory
agreement with the Moroccan
government in this connection. u
Hope for 5-Year Use
1t is learned on good au-
thority, however. that at this
meeting Mr.. YoSt gave Mr.
Balafrej the American reply to
Moroccan demands for an
evacuation agreement. BY
agreeing to the principle Of
evacuation. American officials
are hopeful of being able tc
negotiate more favorable terms
for the timing of eventual with
drawal.
The actual length of time
which will be asked is not
known, but it is understood
the United States hopes to re-
tain at least partial use of the
bases over a f1ve-year period,
during which their strategic
Importance will be important

ActionTo

High Court
BY MARY LOU WERNER
Star STAFF Writer

RICHMOND, Sept. 13.-The
State of Virginia today took
the initiative in bringing a
court test to determine va
lidity of the school, CLOSING,
fund cutoff and tuition grants
laws which are part Of the
massive resistance program
against Indignation.
Virginia Attorney General
Albertis S. Harrison, jr., an
nounced the filing of a suit
against Sidney c. Day, con-
troller of Virginia, in the State
Supreme Court of Appeals to
test the key measures.
Gov. Almond, Mr.. Harrison
said, was consulted about the
action land the proceeding is
with his consent and approval"
Few Federal Questions
The Attorney General said
the State was initiating the
action believing that the test
should come in the State SUI
preme Court of Appeals, for
there are few Federal questions
involved"
He apparently was referring
to indications Negroes planned
to challenge the massive re-
sistance laws in Federal courts.
If there are any Federal
questions to be resolved, said
Mr.. Harrison, an appeal can be
made directly to the Supreme
Court of the United States from
any decision of the Supreme
Court of Appeals of Virginia.
Mr.. Harrison said he would
represent the State in the
action, and argue in support
of the laws. The court would
appoint counsel to represent
Mr.. Day, who is named Defend
ant because the payment Of
tuition grants would have to
be made through him.
Specifically the suit is con.
cerned with the tuition grants,
but the other two laws are
involved because they come into
play in connection with the
tuition grant payments.
Tests Closing Law
I'm effect the proceeding
will test the validity Of what is
commonly known as the school,
closing law and the fund-cut-
off law" said Mr.. Harrison,
"for under both of these enact
mentS tuition payments for
children to attend private
schools are envisioned."
He added:
I'm view of the crisis in our
schools in Virginia brought
about by the enforced integra-
ton of the races therein and
the likelihood that payment Of
tuition grants under various
acts of the General Assembly
would be necessary in the very
near future. it was felt advis-
able for this step to be taken.
In a matter of this Importance
to Virginia and one which in
wolves payment of large sums
of money, it is eminently proper

commit aggression" Mr.. Eisen-
hover asserted. mo upside
down presentation such as con-
tanned in your letter can change

Reply Comparatively Brief
The President made a COM
paratively brief and mild reply
to Mr.. Khrushchev's 4,000-word
letter published last Monday.
calling for withdrawal of Amer
lean forces from the Far East
as the only way to assure stable
peace there.
Apparently striving to avoid
tanning the flames of war
threats over Quemoy and other
offshore islands in the Formosa
Straits, Mr.. Eisenhower stressed
hopes for peaceful negotiations.
1t was implicit in his TOO
word note to the Soviet Premier
that he has no intention of
pulling out American troops
from that area as long as they
might be- needed to curb new
Chinese Communist aggression.
He noted with regret that
Mr.. Khrushchev's letter to him
did nothing to facilitate ending
the danger of war in the Far
East"
On the contrary, he described
the Khrushchev letter as "de-
signed to serve the ambitions
of international communism
rather than to present the
facts"
One Sided Action

addressed no letter to the Chi

The President promised that

Crucial questions faced the
Government and the Nation
today in the wake of the SUI
preme Courts historic decision
that school indignation must
proceed without delay in Little
Rock, Ark.
The most pressing is: How
is the high courts ruling to
be enforced? Specifically, what
will the Federal Government
do now that Arkansas Gov.
Faubus has exercised his pow
ers and closed Little Rocks
high schools?
The second question is: What
will be the effect of yesterdays
ruling on other areas in turmoil
over indignation? That one may
not be answered until the court
makes public its promised sex
preston" of the views upon
which yesterdays decision was
based.
There was no question, how
ever, on one point: Yesterdays
notice from the court that it
would not accept public resist
ance as a reason for delaying
or interrupting indignation is
certain to set off a tumultuous
new chapter in the indignation
battle.
U. S. Action Uncertain
There was no word from the
Justice Department this morn
ing as to what that agency
planned to do to meet Gov.
Faubus' school-closing chal-
lenge. Officials said the de-
partment has been considering
that possibility in its legal
planning, but there was no in
formation available on what
steps might be taken.

Still earlier, Caddington fig
ured that the 1850 u. S. Census
would show that there were a
few more than 10000 residents
of Montgomery County. Census

164, ,401.
1t was with some confidence,
therefore that the Sentinel, be-
fore the election, asked Cadding-

in the November A election?"
This was October IA. The
oracle said he would come up
with something" shortly.
The next morning he spoke.
81 say that 71.55 percent, or "a, ,705
will vote" We published a story
to that effect.
Came the reckoning during the
official vote canvass November Z.
The result: 84,657 voted, or only
48 fewer than Caddington pre-
dicted.

ton asked with a smile. He should.

Tentative plans to make South
Adams St, from West Montgom-

vile, a one-way street for south
bound traffic were tabled Tues
day for more study by the citys
Mayor and Council.
Stated purpose of the proposal
was to eliminate north bound
traffic on Adams st. from enter
ing Montgomery ave., and to pro-
vide more parking on the east
side of Adams st. between Mont
gomery and Jefferson.
Mayor Alexander Greene COM
mented that he wasn't directly
opposed to the suggestion, but
that he'd rather see development
of one-way streets conducted in
an integrated fashion, instead of
one street at time.
He added that all of the streets
leading from the north and south
into Montgomery ave. constitute
undesirable traffic problems.

Congestion
Is Now Acute

Traffic congestion at the new
intersection of East Middle la.
and Hungerford dr., Rockville,
has become so bad during eve
ming rush hours, that Sgt. Walter

assigned to direct traffic there
daily from 5 until 6 pm, it was
disclosed Tuesday night by Rock

The widened, Strengthened Mid.
die la. ends at Hungerford DIR.
directly across the road from Park
rd. If traffic were allowed to flow
across Hungerford la. at spaced
intervals, an efficient link in a
bypass of the city's industrial
hub would be forged.
The Middle la. traffic, however
and the Park la. traffic as well
is controlled only by stop sign
and now, by Sgt. Atwell. The
situation is fast becoming serious,
Mayor Greene declared.
The topic of the bottlenecl,
centered around a report by City
Manager Walter A. Scheiber on
the status of procuring a flash
ing traffic signal. The cost of
such signals could range from
$4,000 to $500, he told the Mayor
and Council.
Forrest Magruder, 206 Balti-
more rd., Rockville, brought a
petition bearing the signatures of
312 area residents, all wanting a
traffic light, to the meeting.
Nothing can be done, however,
until the State Roads Commits
sion details an inspector to the
intersection to observe the traffic
and make suggestions on the type
of light needed.
This will be at least two or
three weeks from now, Scheiber
said.
