Robert A. Peck, Arlington

said the board will not decide

The chairman said, however,
that If the court orders q re-

Mr.. Stockard was the only

using academic achievement

as criteria in deciding assign

RICHMOND. Mar. 10 tAP) .
"A Federal appeals court to-
day reaffirmed earlier decisions
that Negroes seeking admission
to North Carolina public schools

tive remedies before asking for
relief from Federal courts.
1t did so In two cases. In
one IL upheld a district court
Judge at Raleigh who refused

In the other. 1t upheld a
district court judge at Rock

suit brought by parents of a
number Of Negro children in
Montgomery County. The par
entS asked the court to order
the county board of education
and the superintendent OF
schools to present o plan of
desegregation and 10 forbid the
school officials to assign the
Negroes to a particular school
because OF race.

in public schools.

bill to put Potomac River gam
bling casinos back In business
on the Virginia shore was in

Of secrecy and with obvious
assistance from administration

Of the measure. Charles County
Delegates we're taken OF guard
and at first voted with the rest
Of the House to suspend the

The bills appearance was
preceded by a gay. informal
party the previous night that
was the talk Of the State House
halls yesterday afternoon. The
party was attended by some,
legislators and slot machine in
terests.
Sponsor Not at Party
The sponsor of the bill was,
Democrat Carl w. Bachrach OF
Baltimore. He is q political
protege Of Baltimore boss
James H. (Jack) Pollack.
The bill would repeal a law.

he and Delbert Conner. one Of
the Kingpins of the casino
business at Colonial Beach, Va,
conferred with House Speaker
Perry o. Wilkinson on the bill.
The measure was introduced
yesterday, along with a number
Of others, under suspension Of
the rules following Tuesdays
deadline for new legislation.
Try to Head OF Bill
Delegates Samuel C. Linden,
jr., and John Hanson Mitchell.
both Democrats Of Charles
County, sought in parliament
tary maneuvers that followed
to head of the bill.
House Majority Leader A.
Gordon Boone failed to identity
the controversial measure by
its number. Some delegates
commended this contributed to
the confusion over suspension
of the rules.
After a lengthy legislative
haSSle over technicalitieS, Mr..
Boone took the floor to declare
that although he would vote
against the casino bill, he felt
the rules should be suspended
at any time to permit any
Delegates bill to be introduced.
1t was after such pleas from
Mr.. Boone and other admins
tration leaders, including Mr..
Wilkinson, that the Bachrach
bill was introduced with a sus-
pension of rules by a 91-22 vote.
Several Delegates said last
night that the manner in which
the bill was handled would re-
suit in its defeat. {
Mr.. Bachrach said he intro
duced the bill, affecting Charles
and st. Marys Counties, because
he felt last years measure had
created a slot machine monop-
oily in Charles County.
He said he also was influenced
by the economic plight Of Colo

portedly has fallen off consid-
erably with the removal of the
