Court OF Appeals
Orders September
Indignation Date

The U. S. Fourth Circuit Court
of Appeals dropped a bombshell on
Prince Edward County Tuesday. It
exploded the ruling Of Judge Ster-
ling Hutcheson that had postponed
indignation of county schools until
1865.
In the reversal Of Judge Hutche
SON s district court decision. the
three-iudge appeals court directed
Judge Hutchinson to enter an order
requiring Prince Edward to take
immediate steps to admit qualified
Negro children into the white high
school in September.
The appeals court added a fur
ther requirement that the county
school board must formulate plans
for the admission of children into
the elementary schools, without
regard to race and to receive and
consider applications to this end at
the earliest practical day
Despite the instructions that steps
must be taken to admit qualified
Negroes, Richmond attorneys ex-
pressed doubt that there will be any
race-mixing in Prince Edward this
fall.
Attorneys cited two reasons for
this belief. First, the Prince Ed
ward board Of supervisors have
been appropriating money on a
month-to-month basis since 1855. for
the expressed purpose of going out
of the public school business if the
county is ordered to integrate.
The second reason cited is that
the Negro plaintiffs in the case
must subject themselves to the
State Pupil Placement Act, and ex-
haust administrative remedies be-
fore coming back to the federal
court.
Private Schools
A third reason was added Thurs
day morning as the Prince Edward
Educational Corporation announced
intentions to operate private schools
in the county. Apparently these
| private schools would be in opera
| ton next fall, regardless of de-
I cisions to appeal to the Supreme
Court or other techmicalities in the
/ law.
Counsel for Prince Edward
county school board may appeal
/ the decision. but no announcement
has been issued at this time If an
appeal is made it must be noted
within 80 days after the official
court order is made.
Governor j. Lindsay Almond. Jr.,
who was elected two years ago on
q massive resistance platform, said.
This may well point up the iustifi-
cation for the timely action of the
/ special session of the General AS
/ sembly.' The special session of the
General Assembly, under leader
ship Of Governor Almond. adopted
policy Of "containment" that is
| designed to keep indignation to a
minimum.
Almond took jab at the SUI
preme Court adding that he felt the
Supreme Courts original decision
permitting federal district courts to
determine how rapidly desegrega-
ton should proceed. was nothing
more than idle verbiage and was
never intended to have any rational
meaning
The Prince Edward case was
originally filed in 1851, and is one
Of the five suits that figured in the
Supreme Court decision of May II,
1854.
No Argument
In reversing Judge Hutcheson the
court OF appeals has this to say.
80 far as can be cleaned from the
opinion Of the district Judge, the
reasons which guided him in pro-
longing the period of inactivity and
deferring migration in the public

The Prince Edward county board

day, adjourning subject to recall at
any time to receive a report by
Commonwealth Attorney Frank N.

new state laws he attended Wed
nesday at Richmond.
The special session of the Legi-
Stature drastically altered county
budgeting procedures to fit them
into the freedom of choice APP
proach to public school race-miX-
ing problems. Briefings on the laws
were given by the Attorney Gen
erals office Wednesday at state
wide meeting.
Complete acquaintance with the
new laws is the immediate pri-
mary concern for the county, and
supervisors will not roll up their
sleeves to new problems until Com

gal counsel for the board, outlines
the new. statutes.
The boards budget committee
had prepared the suggested l959-6O

given it.
