day Endorsed maintenance of a
public school system in Vir-
ginia, but insisted it must be
segregated if possible.
He advocated the pupil pref
erence plan" as the best avail

ton stand in his platform,

upon it would result in admis-
sion of hundreds of Negro chill
dren to Alexandria white
schools.
Other sections of his plat
form support retention of Vir-
ginia's right-to-work law and
expansion of port and in
dustrial facilities in the city.
Speaking at a meeting of the
Alexandria Kiwanis Club, Mr.,
Beverley criticized the Supreme
Court, the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement of

cans for Democratic Action,
asserting they have allotted the
cause of communism.
