NAT0 Talks
Open, Summit
Hopes Fade
But Solid Front
Is Pledged if
Top Leaders Meet

COPENHAGEN, Denmark,
May S (R.-NATo Secretary
General Paul-Henri Spaak said
today the 15-nation North At
lantic alliance would present
a solidly united front" If an
East-West summit conference
materializes. But conviction
grew here that there would be
no top-level parley before next
year.
Mr.. Spaak opened the three
day foreign minister's meeting
in Copenhagen's Christianborg
Palace with a warning against
Soviet political, economic and
psychological moves designed
to weaken Western unity.
Similar cautions were issued
by Luxembourg's Joseph Bech,
chairman of the NATO Council,
and Danish Prime Minister H.
C. Hansen, host to the confer
ence. Mr.. Spaak called on the
alliance to persevere in its
efforts to maintain peace and
said everyone in the West who
desires to live in freedom
should be aware of the danger
he would run if there was the
slightest weakening of the
alliance"

Congress must act this year
to protect union members from
corrupt leaders. the Senate La
Dor Subcommittee was told to-
day.
Minority Leader Knowland
led off testimony by warning
that the voters will punish
those who try to block needed
reforms. Failure to legislate
in the face Of widespread cor
ruption. arrogance and abuses
he declared, will stand as q
permanent indictment Of the
record of the 85th Congress.
Chairman Mcclellan. Demo-
crat Of Arkansas, Of the SEN

fed that Congress has "a duty
to act" at this session.
Speaking as chairman of the
subcommittee holding hearings
on cleanup legislation. Senator
Kennedy. Democrat Of Massa-
chusetts, promised:
There will be a bill this
session"
House Action Doubtful
While the Democratic leader
ship is committed to pushing q
reform bill through the Senate
this year, House action remains
doubtful.
AS the subcommittee opened
hearings which may last three
weeks. key members warned
against loading the bill with
controversial provisions.
Senator Ives. Republican Of
New York, argued that an "ex-
treme" measure would stand
little chance of getting any.

Senator Kennedy pleaded for
limiting the bill to such matters
as union democracy and finan-
cial reports, since I'VE can
neither hope nor intend to con-
duct and complete a full-scale
review of the Taft-Hartley Act
and all the problems In raises"
Agreeing that extreme legis.
lation is not called for, Senator
Knowland nevertheless main
tanned the bill need not be com.
pletely non-controversial.
Opposes Weak Bill
Senator Goldwater, Republic
can of Arizona, insisted that

can be termed controversial .

Almond Says
Some Schools
Will Close

ROANOKE. Va. July IA tPl.
Gov. Almond said in a filmed
television interview Sunday
that some schools In Virginia
will be closed in the segrega-
ton crisis. He said he felt
there was no question about 1t.
The Governor said the
''NAACP is going to see to it"
that schools are closed.
"They are going to try every
wav they can in Virginia
to force their way into schools
even where they have a better
school than white children"
Gov. Almond added.
George r. Ferguson. pres
ident Of the Charlottesville
branch of the National AS
sociation for the Advancement
Of Colored People, in a filmed
interview over the same station
predicted the Federal courts
will order the reopening Of that
city's schools within two Or
three weeks after any shut
down under, the States anti
integration laws.
Mr.. Ferguson predicted the
Charlottesville schools will be
integrated in September and
that If the schools do close,
Virginia's laws will be bypassed
before the end of September.
State laws provide for auto
matte closing of any inte-
grated public school.
Four Virginia localities are
under Federal court orders to
desegregate in September and
a fifth, Prince Edward County,
has been ordered to desegregate
but thus far no date has been
set.

Under State law. schools
which are integrated will be
closed automatically.
Not Bound 70 Set Date
Judge Hutcheson is under
no binding higher court edict
to set any particular date for
the start Of desegregation. The
4th Circuit Court Of Appeals
left the specific date to his
discretion when it overturned
earlier this year his decision Of
l18 months ago to set no dead
line for the county.
The appellate court did,
however, order him to direct
Prince Edward to make a
prompt and reasonable start"
toward desegregation. And. it
added, the fact that the coun-
tvs schools might be closed
cannot be considered q valid
argument against compliance.
Judge Hutcheson has indi-
Gated he would be hesitant to
order early. desegregation in
Prince Edward. Last month,
when the NAACP asked him
to set a September date, he
declined to do so. remarking
tnat he needed information on
conditions in the county be-
fore making a decision.
This is the information the
Judge expected to receive in
the hearings today and to-
morrow.

county, introduced an affidavit
from Prince Edward School
Supt, Thomas McIlwaine to the
effect that the county was less
ready now for desegregation
than 1t was when the original
plea was made.
This brought a prompt OBJ
lection from NAACP Cousel
Oliver w. Hill, who argued that
the point was irrelevant. Under
an appeals courts directive. he
said, it made no difference
whether the schools would be
closed or not as far as deter
mination of the constitutional
rights of the Negro children
was concerned.
Objection Overruled
