Warren County
School Appeal
Is0verruIed
SobeIoff Affirms
Order to Reopen
On Integruted Basis
BY ALEX R. PRESTON
Star STAFF Writer

BALTIMORE, Feb. 16.-A
Federal appeals Judge today re-
fused to postpone the scheduled
reopening of Warren High
School at Front Royal, Va, on
an integrated basis Wednesday.
Chief Judge Simon E. Sobel-
off Of the Fourth Circuit Court
of Appeals, said, "the longer this
situation continues the more
demoralized conditions will
become"
Much was made in arguments
before him over the fact that
the county does not provide any
high school facilities for Negro
children but does provide Sec
ondary classes for white chill
dren. Negro high school stu
dents have been sent out Of the
county for their schooling in
the past.
Judge Sobeloff told William
Phillips, attorney for the War
rem County School Board, I'D
like to be flexible 4. but I have
heard nothing that would JUS
tify my interfering with Judge
Paul's order"
Would Hurt Compliance"
Federal District Judge John
Paul of Harrisonburg, Va, on
February 10 ordered reopening
the school to which he earlier
had directed the admission of
% Negro students.
Judge Sobeloff declared that
If he granted the county's re-
quest to keep the school closed
until next September, he was
afraid it would boone more
difficult to comply with Federal
court orders"
Earlier, Mr.. Phillips predicted
during the one-hour hearing
that only % Negro applicants,
land maybe FIVE or six white
children" would show up for
classes when the school re-
opens Wednesday.
Mr.. Phillips told the court
that a mass meeting of nearly
1000 white parents last week
went on record as favoring the
continuation of the private
schooling OF. their children for
the rest of the current school
term, rather than trying to re-
enter them in the high school.
Transfer descriptive"
The school board agrees, he
said, that a mid-year transfer
of white children from private
back to public schools would
be descriptive" in its effect.
Thurgood Marshall, chief
counsel for the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement OF
Colored People, told Judge So
beloff that the mass meeting
of white parents has nothing
to do with the suit of the %
Negro children to gain admis-
sion to the high school.
zone thing the Supreme
Court did in the Little Rock
case" he said, was not to let
public hysteria take over the
functions of a school board -"
Il think the School Board
was wrong in considering what
the mass meeting had to say;
what the teachers had to say
or what the white parents had
to say in the face of an order
from District Court judge"
he said.
Mr.. Phillips countered, "the
School Board was within its
rights in trying to find out how
many children it would have to
take care of if the school were
opened"
"One way to find out" Judge
Sobeloff told him. lis to open
the school and register them"

negotiation.
American officials suggested
Geneva or Vienna as neutral
ground preferable to Warsaw
or Prague, sites proposed by the
Soviet Union.
Late April or early May was
seen as a probable time for the
Big Four foreign ministers
conference.
EnviSages Broad Agenda
The American note said:
"The conference should deal
with the problem of Germany
IN all its aspects and implica-
tons as raised in the recent
exchange of notes between the
West and Russia.
This enviSages a broad
agenda in which neither side
would be in a position to impose
a veto on specific subjects to
be discussed.
The Western allies intention
is not to make any specific
counter-proposal on the Soviet
request to make West Berlin a
demilitarized. free city-or any
other subject-until the con-
ference itself.
Oficials said there had been
no change in the Western po-
Sition that a summit confer
ence among heads Of the coun-
tries can not be held without
adequate preparation. The
willingness to accept a vague
agenda applies only to a meet
ing at the foreign ministers
level.

be any connection between a

The Western hope is that the
problem posed by Soviet pro-
posalS for withdrawal Of Allied
forces from Berlin and giving
East Berlin control of access
routes to the city can be solved
in the content of the German
problem as a whole.

aware that the Eisenhower

The session was chaired by

crat Of Minnesota. author of
the grant program which start
ed three years ago. and sponsor
of the basic legislation that
would broaden the program
next year.
Provisions Listed
Among the principal provi-
sions Of the Blantnik measures
are these:
Doubling the present $50
million annually provided BY
the Federal Treasury: doubling
the present $3.50, 900 annual
limit allowed each project tc
build waste disposal works;
permitting individual commu.
mites to pool their grant allot-
ments to build mutually bene-

In the opening session OF
hearings expected to last three

ing organizations which speak
for thousands of communities
and hundreds of thousands oil

ton to meeting the backlog,
Mr.. Smith said another SIS
billion must be built by 1866

and another 5000 million to re-
place facilities that will have

Financial Burden
The required $575 million
yearly expenditure to meet all
these needs represents, the wit

cial load" for the communities
to pay even with the Federal
Government providing one

Smith pointed out that with
