one year program; c. no increase;
or d. other plans?
Senator Bernard |. Gender and
Delegates Leslie Savage and Eliza

would have no objections if Gov
ernor Tawes is willing to call the
special session. Delegate Ebert E
Bucket said he was opposed to d
special session.
On question No. 2, Senator
Gender and Delegates Savage and
Bray said they would favor the

In County Continues

Donations for the 1859 Red Cross
drive are still being accepted ac-
cOrding to James McHenry. county
fund chairman. To date, S1,756 has
been reported. He noted that ad-
ditional money is needed to carry
on the program. General Alfred NJ.
Gruenther National President of
the Red Cross has officially an
nounced an extension of the ma
tional campaign lin order to give
every American an opportunity to
contribute"
For those citizens of Garrett
County who have not as yet con-
tributed the Chapter would like
to point to the Blood Program as
an example activity. Each year
some 365 pints or ono pint o.
blood per day, is used. In other
areas hospitals charge $25 to SIS
per pint. In Garrett County this
blood is free except the small
TRANSMISSION charge. At the cost Of
$25 per pint dollar and cents wise.
this means $9l25.OO saving to coun-
ty residents per year. This is only
one program conducted by the Red
Cross. Those in charge issued an
appeal for every citizen to invest
in the Red Cross Program.

One Other House
Bill Did Not Pass

There was one other House bill
that failed to be enacted, accord
ing to word this week from Sena-
tor Bernard l. Gender. The Re-
publican last week had listed
House bill 665, providing compen-
sation for classified employees in
the Department of Forests and
Parks, for certain work on week
ends or holidays, as having passed.
This particular bill was killed
in the finance committee in the
Senate. The bill had passed the
House of Delegates but by the
time it got over into the Senate
there was not much time left, and
in the ensuing shuttle, it never got
out of committee.

TaWes Won't Call
Special Session

Gov Tawes announced yesterday
he would not call the Maryland
Legislature into special session to
consider new pay raise for public
school teachers.
The governor made the an
nouncement after comforting with
DR.. Thomas G.. Pullen, Jr., state
superintendent of schools, and
Nilsson c. Raver, executive secre-
tary of the Maryland State Teach
erS association.
Raver had requested an extra
ordinary session after the legisla-
ture, in its regular session ended
April 4, failed to adopt a four
year pay-raise program proposed
by the governor
The House passed a one-year
version of the plan to hike teacher
pay an average of $500 over four
year period. Delegates then adj
journed, leaving the Senate the
choice of accepting that or reject
ing it. The Senate, which had
passed a four-year measure, failed
to go along with the House and
the measure died.
The governor said in his state
ment he had reminded Pullen and
Raver he had included the pay
raise as part of his campaign last
fall.
Tawes recalled the legislative
history of the proposal and said
Il told DR.. Pullen and MIR. Raver
that in view of this Legislative
history | did not believe that ii
would be wise to call the General
Assembly back into session. l told
them it was not my concept of the
democratic process for a chief
executive to call the Legislature
back into session because it failed
to 90 along with a part of the
executive program.
Il repeated that the plan pre-
scented was-and still is-my pro-
gram. But l said l did not have
closed mind on the subject and
if the Legislative Council in its
deliberations this year can pro-
duce improvements l shall be glad
to accept them

IllN .itlkaLlont WHICH, iOoha
10 the desegregation OF the
races In the public schools Of
Prince Edward County. Va,
began nearly nine years ago In
MAY %. 1851, when a class suit
on behalf OF a number OF coll
ored pupils OF high school age
was entered against the county
school board In the district
court below. Since that time
the case has been continuously
before the courts and the prin-
ciple Of desegregation has been
firmly established. but no steps
10 bring II about In the county
have been taken by the school
authorities. The last order OF
the district court. from which
this appeal was taken. was is
sued November 26. 1858. and
therein the school board was
directed 10 proceed promptly
with the formulation OF a plan
of desegregation and to report
the progress made in the for
mutation Of the plan to the
court on or before January i,
1859. But by the same order
the school authorities were
given seven additional years,
until the beginning of the 1865
school year, to put the plan into
operation unless the order
should be modified in the
meantime.
The question on this appeal
in view Of the proceedings
which have already taken place
Is whether this order OF the
District Court conforms to the
requirements which the Su-
preme Court has laid down.
Sc Ruling Recalled
The attention of the District
Court was called to the order
passed by this court on Decem-
Der 81, 1856, in County School
Board of Arlington County VS..
Thompson, 240 F. I'd SO, where
in an order enjoining the
county school board of Arling-
ton County to begin the de-
segregation of the elementary
schools of the county in the
1867 term and the high school
in the 1878 term was APP
proved. 1t was there pointed
out that it had been two years
since the first decision OF TIE
Supreme Court in Brown VS..
Board of Education and that
the county school board, de-
spite repeated demands. had
taken no steps to remove the
requirement. of segregation in
the schools.
The response of the district
Judge to this last decision OF
this court in the pending case
was to allow the county school
board of Prince Edward County
the additional period of seven
years within which to integrate
the schools of the county. So

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-05-06

far as can be cleaned from the
opinion OF the district judge,
the reasons which guided him
IN prolonging the period OF in
activity and deferring integra-
ton In the public schools until
1865 were the findings that
racial relations in the county
had deteriorated IN a marked
degree since the first decision
of the Supreme Court in 1854
and that violence may be
within the realm OF probability
IL precipitate action is taken,
and that II is against the in
terestS OF immature school
children that they should be
pSychologically disturbed by
such conditions. In the course
OF the opinion reference was
made, with approval. TO the
decision Of the district Judge
in Aaron VS.. Cooper-known as
the Little Rock case-l63 F.
Supp. -, decided June 20.
1858. wherein a plan for gradual
racial indignation of public
schools in Little Rock which
had been adopted by the school
board was suspended until the
l960-6l school year because
of popular opposition marked
by incidents of more or less
serious violence against Negro
students and their property.
With this decision in mind the
judge in the pending case
reached the conclusion that
the school board of Prince
Edward County might defer
action until 1865.
InactiOn Speaks Loudly"
The proceedings of the dis
trict court outlined above and
the total inaction of the School
Board speak so loudly that no
argument is needed to show
that the last delaying order of
the district Judge cannot be
approved, and that it has be-
come necessary for his court
to give specific directions as to
what must be done. This be-
comes even more clear in view
