Integrated Schools Open In
Two Virginia Cities Monday
Tuition Grants
Form Basis For
Private Schools

Integrated public schools oper-
ated Monday for the first time in
Virginia. as Negro students entered
schools in Arlington and Norfolk,
which were previously all white.
The General Assembly Of Vir-
yinia, meeting in special session,
enacted three bills Saturday. which
allows integral ton, but which do
rot require attendance at any pub
lie school in Virginia.
The three bills are far cry
from the massive resistance laws
enacted BY the General Assembly
in 1856, which were held uncon-
stituhonal recently by the Virginia
Supreme Court Of Appeals and also
by three Judge Federal court
The bills. offered by Governor
Almond, did nothing to stop the
indignation Of schools in the State:
but the bills do provide / that no
child has to attend any public
school. and 2 that the state will
provide up to $3.50 per year for the
education Of any such child in pri-
vate, non-sectarian schools
Indignation proceeded smoothly
in Arlington and Norfolk Monday
as policemen kept close eye on
the area to prevent outbreaks of
violence.
Tuition Grants
Two Of the three bills passed by
the General Assembly provide
State fund, and outline a program
Of tuition grants. Tho third measure
repealed the compulsory school at
tendance law, 50 that no child is
compelled to attend any school,
One OF the bills provided a sum
estimated to be approximately
three million dollars for tuition
grants to children whose parents
satisfy the State Board of Edu-
cation that there are no adequate
public schools available for them
to attend or that the welfare of
TIE children would be best served
if they went to schools other than
those they would normally attend.
The grants would total $3.50 or
the amount of the actual per pupil
cost Of operation in the locality in
which the children live, whichever
is less
Cost Per Pupil
The cost per child of operating
Prince Edward County schools last
year was S232 "a according to
figures from the county school
board office. T. j. McIlwaine,
superintendent Of schools. said the
total operating cost per child in
average daily attendance was
1892 54. with approximately $40 of
this coming from local sources and
the rest from the State. This does
not include capital outlay or debt
service. superintendent McIlWaine
point out.
Corresponding figures in Cunb-
erland County are 1925 90 per pupil
with approximately $94 coming
from county funds.
Under the second bill passed by
the General Assembly, localities
must supplement the grants be-
\ ginning in the next school year, if
their pei pupil cost of operation Is
more than $3.50. Only Y counties
and six cities have costs per pupil
/ III excess of $3.50.
/ A companion bill passed by both
houses, but not yet signed by the
Governor, makes it unlawful to OBJ
tain tuition grant for any pur-
pose other than the education OF a
child.

DelleVe we III be able to show
that even the difference in cost can
be greatly reduced by some route

There are several possibilities not
explored in the report he added
Local Opinion
Farmville Mayor w. F. Watkins.
Jr., c. J. Cox. another Water Level
Association leader, Edward Carter
chairman Of the supervisors, and
c. H. Goodwin. Jr. president Of
the Chamber of Commerce, all
have expressed the view that the
merits of the southern route as pre-
scented in the report must be given
very serious consideration before
the Highway Commission makes its
decision.
Pointing to such merits as the
south's greater population. indus
trial production and future high
way tonnage, the local group was
unanimous in its opinion. expressed
succinctly by Cox, The report
confirms my opinion. we certainly
have good chance now
The Highway Commission avoided
recommendation Of a choice be-
tween the proposed North and South
routes, the study being devoted
solely to a comparison of each fac
tor for the two routes. The COM
mission is expected to hold public
hearings concerning the highway in
mid-March.
Route Compared
The southern line was proposed
by Farmville Lynchburg Roa-
noke interests when the Federal
Works Administrator and the United
States Bureau of Public Roads ap-
proved the northern location along
U. S. Route $50. They requested the
study in light of the vast economic
value to areas through which the
highway will pass.
The southern line would follow U.
s. Route 800 to Jetersville, state
route 307 and o. S. 400 to Farm
vile, and U. S. Route 400 from
Farmville to a point near Roanoke.
It would then follow U. S. Route 900
to Clifton Forge.
1t would pass within a mile Of
Farmville to the south.
In the report. the engineers esti-
mated that location of the highway
parallel to u S. Route $50 tthe
northern route would cost some 81
million dollars less than the south
ern route along U. S. Routes 800
400.
The engineers estimated cost of
the southern route at 1929, 1875 900 in
Guiding l9.250.0OO for right of way
and s2O9. 1916 900 for construction.
On the other hand, the report re-
vealed that selection Of the south
ern route would serve a greater
population. The population along
the southern route had increased
eight per cent. from 623 200 in 1858
to 673, 200 in 1857. Figures for the
northern location estimated tn e
population at SGT 300 in 1857. a III
per cent increase over the 1858
figure of $4,000.
Industry Decisive
Another factor which will have its
effect on the final location is the
fact that industrial firms along the
southern route outnumber those of
the northern Industrial firms along
the southern route increased 627
per cent from 4.22O in 1858 to 1854
in 1857. The number of industrial
firms on the northern route rose
from 1871 in 1858 to SAP in 1857, an

Qualified Compoiqner

The Board OF Trustees of the Ma
tional Cultural Center is fortunate in
obtaining the able services of L. Corrin
Strong as chairman of the Nationwide
Embarrassing campaign for the center.
The big task of raising $25 to $35 million
by popular subscription within the FIVE
year deadline set by Congress is a chal-
lenge of the sort that Mr. Strong is
qualified to accept.
AS supporter of the National SYM
phony Orchestra, as a leader in the
building fund drive for Washington
Cathedral and as an experienced finan-
cier, Mr.. Strong has demonstrated the
attributes needed to assure success of
the cultural fund campaign. And the
public should be reminded that the sue
cess of the center project itself depends
on the raising from private sources
within the prescribed time limit of the
money to build the center in Foggy Bot
tom. No Federal funds are available for
this undertaking.

Stop Thief

John L. Lewis says he will not "join
the pack" which is chasing James r.
Hoffa and shouting, stop thief" The
boss Of the Mine Workers thinks that
the boss of the Transfers is entitled to
his chance before the law" and this,
while it embraces very narrow view of
. the Hoffa business, is at least not open
to dispute. Parenthetically, it might also
be mentioned that Mr.. Lewis has spoken
out against the proposed law which is
designed to curb corrupt activity in the
Transfers Union.
In his usual majestic fashion, how
ever, Mr.. Lewis is being quite impartial
about this stop thief" business. He
will not join the pack chasing Mr.. Hoffa,
and he'will not join the President in
chasing the greatest thief of our time
initiation. In fact, MIR. Lewis seems to
hope that this thief, which robs the
dollar of its value, will make a clean
getaway.
OF course, Mr. Lewis does not see
the matter in this light. In his appear
ance on Meet the Press, he gave the
President no credit at all for trying to
restrain imitation. Instead, he accused
Mr.. Eisenhower of siding with the steel
industry against the workers, and said
that the latter, in effect, were being told
they can't participate in the advantages
OF the economy on the same basis as
the employers
This is the stuff that the widest
dreams are made Of What Mr.. Eisen-
hover has been trying to do is to per-
Suade the steel industry and the steel
union that their current dispute should
be settled on noninfiationary basis.
He is trying to stop the slide in the
value Of the dollar-Mr. Lewis dollar,
the steel workers dollar, his employers
dollar, yours and ours. Imitation is one
thief which most certainly should be run
to earth, and the President ought to
have the support of Mr.. Lewis, and of all
Of us, in this endeavor

Presbyterian Center

The announcement that National
Presbyterian Church will build a great
national structure and associated build
ings in Northwest Washington for those
of the Reformed and Presbyterian faith
marks a momentous milestone in the
spiritual life Of the Nations Capital.
When the buildings are completed
on one of the city's highest points, they
will stand as symbolic as well as physi-
cal center for those of the Reformed and
Presbyterian faith. Here, in surround
ings worthy of the numerous contribu-
tions members of this Protestant stream
made to the Nation, will be focal point
at which all spiritually minded people
can gather. 1t will especially provide
place where Reformed and Presbyterian
adherents may pay tribute to those who
have given so much to their church.
National Presbyterian Church is

ton in the Nations Capital. 1t is one
of more than twenty national churches

Report From Russia

Averell Hartman has some excel
lent qualifications for his current "as-
signment" as travelling correspondent
in the Soviet Union. Over a period Of
nearly 20 years, both in war and in
peace, he has known the country, It's
people and its leaders. AS one Of the
early directors of the wartime lend
lease program and later as our Ambas-
sador to Moscow, he was one Of the first
to evaluate correctly the Russian deter
mination to fight on against Nazi Ger
many and he helped greatly in supplying
them the weapons for this purpose.
Before World War II ended. however,
the record shows that Mr. Hartman also
had deep apprehensions about future
Russian American relations. He had
warned our own Government that in re-
sisting communism I'VE might we'll have
to face an theological warfare Just as
vigorous and dangerous as faScism or
naziism."
Against this background, it is par
ticularly interesting that Mr.. Hartman
reporting from Moscow-writes that
peace is not mere political slogan in
the Soviet Union, but is a national pre-
occupation. It is not in the leaders, but
among the people-the farm hands and
the factory workers-that Mr.. Hartman
finds this absorbing, and in his opinion
sincere, hope that there will not be an
other great war. He finds, too, that
while there has been widespread accept
ance Of Communist propaganda that the
United States is considered "the major
threat to peace" there is an underlying
longing among these same Russian peo-
pie for restoration of the friendly rela-
tions that existed between the two
countries in wartime.
It Is true, Of course, that in police
state the hopes Of the people do not
necessarily prevail. Yet even the hard
minded men in the Kremlin may not be
completely impervious to popular pres
sures. Indeed, the Moscow governments
efforts to improve housing facilities, to
encourage better standards Of dress and
more abundant supplies of varied food
stuffs reflect an acknowledgment that
there must be concessions to the public
will.
The question remains, Of course,
whether any such mood Of responsive
ness-even to national preoccupation"
with peace-might extend to the inter-
national policies Of communism. There
is little evidence as yet that 1t does,
but 1t is heartening to read that in
Russia, of all places, and as in so many
other places, the desire for peace is
not just political slogan but a popular
preoccupation.

Matter of Credit

DR.. Bernard Schwartz re-
ply Of May 80 confirms his
unf1tness to conduct a cru
SADIE against "wrongdoing in
the Federal agencies" 1t is
not my wounded pride but
: his scholarly integrity and
Judgment that is In issue.
DR.. Schwartz kisses OF his
plagiarism as an oversight"
to give a "footnote credit"
But scholars are fastidious to
use quotes for verbatim quo
tations and do not seek to
escape the obligation by alter
ing a few words. DR.. Schwartz
offers singular proof Of
oversight" He points TO two
publications in 1858 where
he gave proper credits" for
the very same borrowed
material. In 1856. he neglects
to mention. he also borrowed
the same language without
acknowledgment. in q writ
ten statement submitted to
the Moss subcommittee on
Government Information,
House Hearing, May 8. 1856,
p. 463. When. therefore. he
came to publish this Dor
rowed matter for the fourth
time in 1863. 1t should have
rung a bell. Some "over-
sight"
Having borrowed my words
on four different occasions,
DR.. Schwartz is now so
graceless as to deride them
as a literary gem" Literary
gems are not for a plodding
lawyer. Nor have I ever been
so enamored of my own
words as to embody them In
four different publications.
To do so is to confess q
paucity Of ideas.
Is sc holarly judgment
compatible with the egreg-
ious vanity that leads DR..
Schwartz to label his neglect
to acknowledge the borrow
ing as a failure to give Mr..
Berger literary immorta-
lity?" How can one be up
set" by the denial of such
Immortality?
No, what is disturbing is
that DR.. Schwartz explana-
ton again exhibits his in
vincible selfrighteousness
and shakes confidence in his
scholarly judgment and in
tegrity. RaOul Berger
