Circuit Solicitor Blanchard
Mcleod, who prosecuted the
case, appealed to the Governor
to let the law take its course.
He called 1t a brutal. vicious
crime which had been planned
beforehand.
Wilson's attorney. observing
that the verdict came from an
all-white jury, told the Cover

justice to which everyone is
entitled, regardless of race"
He conceded that Wilson had
not HVeu the lie OF q saint,
but said his past record should
not be used against him in the
present case.
Mr.. Gray said that while the
jury may well have been justi-
fed in finding Wilson guilty of
something, the death sentence
was excessive.
After the hearing. Mr.. Gray
limited he might try an appeal
to the Federal courts in hope
Of winning q new trial If the

appeals in State courts. The

W. H. Laubach, secretary of

The Atlas, the Air Forces

Keen About Possibilities

tan has more "gross" possible
ties than the Atlas. Apparently
he was referring to improved
liquid propellents which are
expected to be developed for lit,
giving the Titan greater thrust
power.
He indicated that the Titan,
which is between one and two
years behind the Atlas in. de-
velopment, could be used for
launching satellites and space
ships.
The Secretary's statement
that Americas military-scien-
tific experts have not yet found
out how to get enough thrust
from a solid-fuel engine to
shoot an ICBM $500 nautical
miles and his backing of Titan
apparently means that the COM
plicated liquid-fuel ICBM sys-
TEN will probably be necessary
until the mid-1960s.
Last February the Air Force
was given the green light to
study the feasibility of solid
fuel ICBM. The project was
labeled Minuteman. About 500
million repeatedly has gone into
lit already, but another $50 mil
lion, voted by Congress-in ex-
cessive administration requests
for the program-may not be
spent in the fiscal year.
Minuteman An Issue
Meanwhile, it was learned
that William M. Holiday, De-
tense Department director Of
guided missiles, has asked that
the Joint Chiefs of Staff deter
mine whether there is a "stra-
tegic requirement" for the
Minuteman weapons system.
The theory of the Minutemar
concept is that relatively mex
pensive ICBMs could be built ir
substantial numbers and baSec
on hundreds of sites all over the
country so that an enemy would
find it virtually impossible tt
destroy them all in a surprise

At one point. Judge Soper
asked Mr.. McIlwaine If he
thought the court has the right
to consider matters Of public
knowledge-to wit, the aSser-
ton of authorities Of the State
of Virginia that they are not
going to let Negroes in white
schools"
Mr.. Mcnwaine replied affirm
atively.
Judge Soper tried to get q
promise that the Warren Coun-
ty Negroes would be admitted
to the white high schools If a
delay were granted.
Mr.. McIlwaine said he did
not believe anyone in the State
Of Virginia could make that
promise at this time. Similar
questions have brought similar
responses at past hearings.
A hearing on Norfolk's plea
was to begin at the end Of the
Warren County case.
All junior and senior high
schools have been kept closed
in Norfolk awaiting outcome OF
the 11th-hour appeal. A spe-

Two Issues for Court

Two major issues put before
the court by attorneys for the
State and city Of Norfolk are

Judge Walter Hoffman's refusal
to grant a one-year desegrega-
ton delay.
z q. ASchallehge of Judge Hotf :
mans ruling against using stu
dent isolation and racial tension
as reasons for refusing to enroll
Negro students in white classes.
The appeal marks the first
time the appellate court has
been asked to pass on specific
criteria which localities are at
tempting to use in evaluating
Negro transfer applications,
Similar criteria have figured
in the Arlington and Char
lotteSville indignation cases. as
well as in the, Norfolk suit.
The same court later will be
passing on appeals in the Ar
lington and Charlottesville
cases. In the Arlington case.
Federal Judge Albert V. Bryan
approved only four of 80 Negro
applications, and did not actu-
ally throw out any of the five
standards the school board used
in passing on the applications.
In the Charlottesville case,
Federal Judge John Paul or

In all cases, lack of scholastic
achievement has been a major
factor in minimizing possible
integration.

Further Delay Possible
The Norfolk schools are sched-
uled to open Monday. but it Is
possible there will be a further
delay If the city fails to get
any definite action from the
appellate court today.
In Norfolk the City Council
of Parent Teacher Associations
yesterday voted to postpone ac-
ton on school resolutions
pending further develop
ments." Similar action had
been taken the day before by
the Norfolk Education AsSocia-
ton, made UP of the city's white
teachers.
Resolutions offered at the
PTA council would have
brought pressure on Gov. Al
mond to open the city's schools,
should they close. A test vote
to delay action was approved
As to Is.
Outcome Of today's appeal Is
Of paramount Importance to the
State as a whole as a measure
of what further delays may be
gained in other localities. and
an indication how far school
boards can go in barring
Negroes from white classes.
The case is of immediate sig
Inificance to Charlottesville and
Warren County. where three
schools alrea dy are closed
because of court orders requir-
ing indignation. About 2.700
students are barred from public
schools in Warren County and

school system is to live or die,
DR.. Hay declared.
The Little Rock School Board
this week asked United States
District Judge John E. Miller
of Fort Smith, Ark, whether it
would be in contempt of Fed
.eral court If it leased the
schools to a private corpora
ton. The Supreme Court on
September IL ordered the board
to proceed with immediate in
tegration of Central High
School.
Judge Miller also received q
petition from the National AS
ISOLATION for the Advancement
of Colored People, asking for an
injunction to keep the board
from leasing schools.
The judge dismissed both pc
titions, saying he lacked juris-
diction.
An NAACP attorney said yes

to the United States Eighth
Circuit Court Of Appeals at st.

Majority Required
Because of a provision in the
law which set up today's refer

would have to go to court to

votes than Segregationists in a

of such limbs.
All of this work of pruning
and supporting weakened and
bent branches should be done
promptly so that normal growth
will help the plants to resume
their attractive appearance.
The pruning of the coniferous
evergreenS should be done be-
fore the new growth starts in
late March. This growth will
quickly hide the pruning cuts,
but it should not be so heavy
as to remove all of the foliage
which keeps the sap flowing.
Very few evergreens will send
out new foliage from a stub.
Many of the broadleaved
evergreens have lost, or will
lose much of their foliage. The
strong winds will leave many
brown and damaged leaves.
These will fall and in the course
of the next few months win
be replaced by new leaves. In
the meantime, the gardener
should fertilize and renew the
mulch under such trees and
shrubs to speed UP the growth
of the new leaves.

Repairing Storm-Domoqed Shrubs
By W. II. YoUNGMAN

The snowstorm last month
did a great deal Of damage to
the evergreens. In some cases
the damage can be repaired by
pruning. in others it will mean
supporting sagging branches
until they have grown into
place. This work should be done
without delay so that the
plants will resume their normal
appearance as quickly as pos
sible.
Many kinds of evergreens
were borne to the ground by
the weight Of the snow. Where
the branches were not broken
they can be helped back to
normal position by tieing to
a stout stake. Usually the
stake should be driven firmly
into the ground near the trunk
of the shrub. From this stake
stout. coarse cords are used to
pull the Sagging branches back
into place. Use a dark colored
stake and cord since this repair
job will have to stay in place
for at least most of the grow
ing season. This kind of repair
job is most likely to be needed
for rhododendrons, hollies, ca
mellias, yew, and the arbor-
vitae.
The crawling Pfitzer juni-
pers held the snow and were
weighted to the ground. How
ever, they can be reshaped with
the pruning shears, although
any branches that split from
the trunk should be removed.
Heavy pruning will not hurt
since new branches develop
rather quickly after a drastic
cutting.
Tie Up BOxwOOds
Boxwood may be pulled back
into shape with the stalking
method outlined above, or they
may be tied with a stout cord,
preferably one that is green OF
at least inconSpicuouS. One OF
more stout, coarse cords TIED
around the lockwood will pull
the branches together and in
the course of one season should
be strong enough to hold theil
shape.
Hemlocks that were bowed by
the weight of the snow usually
can be restored to norma
shape by pruning, but a BAN.
boo pole may be needed to hole
a leader. The bamboo poll
should be long enough so tina
/ it can be firmly tied into place
below the sagging top. The tor
is then tied to the pole. If thu
pole cannot hold the top il
place securely enough to with
stand normal wind and rair
pressure. then it may be neces'
sary to use long guy wires
Hedges that were bowed un

Not many of the larger
shrubs and trees were badly
damaged by the snow. If limbs
were broken under the weight

growth will replace the lost
limbs on only very few kinds
