Racial Ruling
BY PAUL HOPE
star stan Writer

Three members Of the Arl-
ington County School Board in
dicated yesterday they would
not disregard a Federal Court
order to admit specific Negro
students to white schools.
Board members said, how
ever, that there is a question
Of whether a Federal decree of |
last year ordering seven colored
students into county schools is
still valid for the coming
school term.
II would hesitate to risk con-
tempt of court" said Chairman
Robert A. Peck.

unmistakable order is entered. |
it would be foolish to be in |
contempt" said L. Lee Bean.
James @. Stockard said he |
would recognize any unap-
pealable order"
Await Jurist's Return
A board member has said the |
school board will seek a clari-
fication of Federal Judge Al
bert v. Bryan's order when the |
jurist returns from a Europe
vacation the first of next
month. School opens Septem-
Der A.
Five Of the seven Negroes in
volved in Judge Bryan's order
say they still want to go to
white schools.
Actions on several fronts
may be forthcoming this week |
in the Arlington controversy.
Parents of other Negro chill
dren seeking admission to white
schools in Arlington indicated |
yesterday petitions will be filed
in Federal Court asking that |
26 additional names be added |
to Judge Bryan's order. A total |
Of 81 Negro students have
asked to be transferred to
white schools.
Board members are hoping |
that the State Pupil Place
ment Board will announce early |
in the week its action on the
transfer requests by Negroes.
The Negro students were inter-
viewed by the placement board
last week.
Five Pleas Considered
Up to now the county school
board has taken the position
that the State Placement Board
has complete responsibility for
assigning students. However,
there is some sentiment on the
school board for disregarding
the pupil placement board on
the applications Of the five Ne
groes involved in Judge Bryan'S
order
Board members have said
they will make public some of
their thinking on the racial
controversy at a meeting sched-
uled at 8 pm. Tuesday. So
far, the board has remained
tight-lipped on any discussions
they have had with attorneys.
The meeting will be held at the
Little Theater at Washington
Lee High School.
None of the members would
say what type of information
would be given Tuesday. They
said it will depend on what
their lawyers say can be re-
leased and on developments
between now and Tuesday
night.
Several citizens groups de-
manded information at meet
ing last Wednesday. Among
the questions asked were
whether some schools already
are closed under State law
which shuts down integrated
schools? Will the school board
follow recommendations of
the State Placement Board?
Will the board ask the Cover
nor to return schools to local
operation if they are closed by
the State? What is the status
of the five Negroes involved in
Judge Bryan's order?
Mr.. Stockard said he would |
make his views known Tuesday

action or not, I'm not going |

similar to the one Norfolk Is
attempting to use.
I'm the final analysis, the
Supreme Court is not going to
uphold any scheme to COM
pletely block migration" OBJ
served Judge Hoffman.
On the question Of isolation,
Judge Hoffman pressed school
board witnesses to say how
many Negro students should be
admitted to white schools to
overcome that factor. Wit
nesses said it would depend on
the individual applicants.
The question of frequent
transfers arose because a new
school is to be built next year
close to the homes of appli-
cants in that category. The
school board said the students
would have to shift schools
again if they were transferred
this year.
What Judge Hoffman says
about these reasons for denying
Negro transfer applications
should let the South know how
much of a brake can be put on
indignation.
The idea of an assignment
plan is not new. But in previ-
Gus cases, the assignment plans
of other States like North Caro-
lima have been passed on by
the courts in a general way
only. Norfolk offers the first
practical test of students who
submitted to the assignment
procedure, and are challenging
the reasons given for rejecting
their pleas to enter white
schools.
Districting in Question
BY announcing that he in
tends to hold that lack of
scholastic achievement is a
proper reason for denying an
application, Judge Hoffman
virtually has eliminated 26 of
the Negro applicants in Nor
folk already. Another IL stu
dents are in the tension cate
CORY, three in the isolation
group, and eight fall within the
too-freuuent transfer classifica-
ton. 1t is still possible that
other rejected applicants may
appeal.
In another development this
week on Virginia's school seq
regation scene, Charlottesville
City. Attorney John S. Battle,
jr., asked Federal District Court
Judge John Paul to say whether
a new school district the school
board established to prevent
assignment of Negroes to white
schools is valid. Judge Paul
scheduled arguments on the
request for Tuesday.
Shortly after Mr.. Battle
made his request, two Char
lottesville school patrons asked
the corporation court for an
injunction prohibiting the
school board from making any
pupil assignments for the COM
ing school session. The in
junction would be similar to
one obtained by a Norfolk
couple from two justices of
the State Supreme Court.
Judge George M. Coles set
a hearing on the Injunction re-
quest for Thursday.
