School Unit
Is Formed
In Warren

FRONT ROYAL, Va. Sept.
20 tAP),-An 82-member War
rem County Committee for Pub
lie Schools was organized here
yesterday with the objective Of
pursuing every lawful and
honorable means to reopen our
school as quickly as possible"
The county's only high school,
a white facility, was closed two
weeks ago to avoid racial inte-
grafton ordered by a Federal
Court, Virginia law automati-
cally closes any school where
indignation takes place.
John Fitzgerald, an American
Viscose Corp. employe here and
father Of a high school sopho-
more, was named president Of
FLLlc new BrOup.
Mr.. Fitzgerald emphasized
the committee is not concerned
with either indignation or per-
petuating segregation but is
opposed to any permanent
private school system as a sub
stitute for our time -honored
public school system"
Efforts to organize a private
educational program to accom-
modate the 1000 students dis
placed by the closing of War
rem County High School have
begun.
In a statement of purpose
adopted at its first meeting the
new committee said its men,
bers ARE united by common
concern for our public schools
and for our children, whose
education is in jeopardy. We
believe that a strong and COM
plete public school system is
vital to the educational and
economic life of Warren
County"
Private Schools" the state
ment continued, cannot re-
place public schools on a broad
scale without serious and last
ing disruption of the educa-
tional facilities of the COM
munity.
Private schools cannot be
legally maintained with public
funds tuition grants under
public direction nor can they
be held accountable to the local
government or to the general
public"

Most of the requests came
from Arkansas. Representative
Davis estimated about 1000
copies of the report, sharply
critical of indignation here, had
been mailed to the Arkansas
area upset by stalled school
openings in Little Rock.
There, a private corporation
still is negotiating with the
school board to start classroom
instruction in Little Rocks big
gest high school on a private
rather than public basis.
Little Rock citizens voted
nearly three to one against in
tegration Saturday. At most
polling places. the House Dis
trict Committee report was
handle dout by volunteers who
offered it as a factual assess
ment of classroom conditions
under integration.
The report also was the sub
ject of an evening lecture in
Little Rock last week by Will
liam Gerber, Memphis, Tenn,
lawyer, who served as counsel
to the House investigating unit
headed by Representative Davis
in 1856.
Arkansas Gov. FaubuS re-
ferred repeatedly last week to
the report and urged the Little
Rock citiZenry to read it before
voting for or against integra-
ton of their own high schools

Like a Pickering light bulb,
the sight in Caroline Kapuscik's
eye dimmed one day, then went

scars interrupt impulses rom

Since that day in 1916, Miss
Kapuscik has regained the Wis
ion in her right eye, except for
a blind spot to one side, and
has lost and regained the vision
in her left eye as well.
Although she has difficulty
with her hands now, she does
volunteer tipping at the Multiple
Sclerosis Association Of Greater
Washington at POPS I street
NV. She also does all her own
washing, ironing and some
cooking in her apartment at

The associations services and
the contacts with other MS

Registration for the students

"I want to emphasize that
these facilities are being made
available only on a temporary,

Morton, who headed the Par

division before the joint plan
was worked out with the Foun-
dalton.
Two of the churches which
agreed to offer their facilities
yesterday - the University
Baptist, and the First Presby-

down requests to do so from
the Foundation.

said.
Textile Institute Aids
Chemistry and physics classes
for the students will be held at
the Institute of Textile Tech

still working on transportation
arrangements for that" Mr.
Morton said.
Last night he gave a two
hour briefing on the program
to the high school division OF
the Parents Committee. "All
the members were very pleased
with what we are doing" he
said.
Town officials are not con.
templating any move at thi:

Schools Shut
In Norfolk;
10000 Idle

NORFOLK, Va. Sept. 20
(AP).-Ten thousand Norfolk
secondary school children be-
gan an indefinite period of
idleness today as the State
closed white public schools
rather than acquiesce to a Fed
eral Court order to integrate,
A formal notice Of Gov. Al
mond's seizure of six white
junior and senior high schools
was delivered to city school Of
ficials in the port city yester-
day.
The number Of children af-
fected by the Governors &C.
ton was by far the largest to
be caught up in the struggle
between State authority and
the Federal Government on the
school issue to date. Virginia
law closes any school where in
tegrated assignments are made.
In Charlottesville and Warren
County. where three schools
under Federal migration or
ders were closed by the State,
some 2,700 pupils are affected.
No Reply Received
AS State Trooper A, T. Elder
delivered copies of the school
closing order, the Norfolk
School Board in turn dis
patched a request to the Gov
ernor asking that he move to
reopen the schools as soon as
possible. No reply has been re-
ceiYed.
While the closingS in Norfolk

ment toward the States no.
surrender school policies, a pri-
vate segregationist group in the
city was preparing to soften
some of the impact.
The Tidewater Education
Foundation claimed more than
1000 of the affected pupils had
signed up for private classroom
instruction in advance of the
actual school shutdown. The
private educational system was
expected to swing into opera
ton early next. month.
The Norfolk closings had
been impending for several
weeks. School openings had
been postponed twice while the
city waged legal effort to stall
the court indignation directive,
at least for one more year.
Last-Ditch Pleadings
The defense attorneys made
last-ditch pleadings on this
score Saturday before the
three-judge Federal Circuit
Court at Baltimore.
Just a few hours after ad-
journment the Circuit Court
handed down its unanimous
decision denying the appeal for
a stay, the Norfolk School
Board went into session i'm
mediately and carried out its
plan to assign II Negro chill
dren to the six schools. The

heels of this move.
The school board yesterday
repeated a request for all TO-

In the future.
At present there are only
four such civil radar installa-
tons in operatien-at Wash

Washington and New York
units are to be replaced with
newer models within a matter
of weeks.
The new plan supplements
the CAA's own radar acQuisi-

a total Of 81 in operation over
the Nation by next summer.
New radar "eyes," with a vi
sion of about 200 miles, will be
used by CAA for air traffic
control; by the Air Force. Army
and National Guard for air
defense.
Mr. Pyle said the program
represents a saving of millions
of dollars in equipment, in
