Committee member Saylor

in his questioning of Mr.. Asher
that the electrical co-ops were

At the Missourian's request
Witness Asher tried to develop

while the Engineer Corps 1912

$29 million, the cost now would
probably range between SIS

HousingPIon

The Senate Appropriations
Committee has acussed the
Army Of preaching a good
neighbor policy" with vir-
ginians by proceeding to build
military housing at Fort Bel
voir close to the road linking
historic Mount Vernon with
historic Woodlawn Mansion.
State and county authorities
as well as historical groups
have strongly objected to the
project which. they say, will
mar the countryside along
State Route 235 and will con-
flict with Fairfax County
coming ordinances that require
lower-density land use by
civilians in the surrounding
area.
The charge was made in the
committee report on military
construction appropriations for
the year ending next June 80.
In going ahead with con-
struction plans to erect 81
duplex-type dwellings on a So
acre tract close by open COM
munities of $4,000 to $40, 900
homes, the Army is ignoring
county coming regulations with
out any apparent military nee
eSsity for such a breach Of
good neighbor' policy" the re-
port stated.
The housing project, it was
noted. will create a population
density three times as great
as the surrounding civilian
developments.
The committee conceded that
since appropriations for the
construction were made last
year, there is no way the prof.
ect can be stopped by with
holding funds at this time.
But the Army is reminded. I"
the committee warned, "that
this committee expects local
coming regulations to be
respected in all cases where
genuine defense requirements
do not justify exceptions.
1T is urged that every effort
be made to shift the row Of
houses planned to parallel the
Mount -Woodlawn high
way to some other appropriate
location"

he saw no need at this time

added he didn't "see any rea-
son for the Federal Govern
ment putting its long snout

He said he was keeping abreast
of developments through the
press and through the State
police.
Should a Federal Judge order
a Negro child into a white
school after the school semes-
ter has begun, the judge "him-
self by his act will close the
school," Gov. Almond said.
Virginia law requires automatic
closing Of any school that is
integrated by court order or
otherwise.

As for the States school-clos-

ator Boothe declared that the

people. The school-closing law
and fund-cut-of law are un-
constitutional"
Senator ,Boothe. a Democrat,

sive resistance laws that pro-
vide for automatic closing Of
any school where integration
occurs and the Withholding Of
State school funds from any
locality that attempts to oper-
ate mixed classes.
Senator Boothe instead has
advocated the adoption OF local

FRONT ROYAL, Va. Aug. Is
(AP). - The Warren County
School Board says II is unable
10 comply with the request from
a Negro attorney that Negro
children be transferred 10 white
public schools.
The board said Il would take
no action on the transfer re-
quests but would pass them on
10 the State Pupil Placement
Board IN Richmond with the
recommendation that they be
turned down.
Six reasons were listed BY the
board for rejecting the transfer
petitions. the chief ones being
that all school assignment
powers are lodged with the
State Pupil Placement Board
and that the Warren County
schools now are so overcrowded
that TO add more pupils would
seriously tax their capacity and
lower their efficiency.
