week replied: "Mr. Beverley
has mentioned my 1850 bills
which he says he depl0res.
Four years after I introduced
those-in ls5l-Mr. Beverley
had this to say to newspapers |:
I want to notify my friends
that I'm delighted to hear the
announcement by Delegate
Armistead Boothe he is going
to run for the State Senate. :.
I'm going to support him be-
cause Of his background and
his experience and his ability

In other words, four years

] felt would be the proper ex-
erciSe Of States rights, Mr..
Beverley wasn't worried about
them at all. But now that he's
got the itch to run they
are perfectly deplorable."
Differ on Procedure
Throughout the debate the
two have differed on the method
OF dealing with court-ordered
indignation. In the General
Assembly, Mr.. Boothe teamed
up with Republican State Sem
ator Ted Dalton at the 1858
session in offering q local pupil
assignment plan similar to one
originally used in North Caro-
lima,
Mr.. Boothe emphasizes that
out of about 10000 Negroes in
North Carolina, only II at
tended white schools last year.
According to Senator Boothe,
local assignment offers the best
way to preserve as much Segre-
cation as possible. A number
of Virginia localities, including
Arlington and Alexandra, al
ready are using assignment
plans to minimize integration.
Under court decisions, schools
cannot be kept open and COM
pletely segregated, Senator
Boothe contends.
Mr.. Beverley says the Boothe
proposal would lead to mass in
tegfation in the classroom. The
challenger's main theme on the
other hand, has been espousal
OF q "three-school system
one white. one Negro. and one
integrated. 0To Mr., BOTTLES
contention that Federal courts
already have thrown out the
three-school plan in Tennessee
Mr. Beverley replies. 1T hasn't
been appealed tosthe Supreme
Court" 4
Mr. Beverley also remains
unimpresSed by statements
from members Of the Perrow
Commission that the three
school proposal was considered
BY that body and rejected in
favor of the freedom of
choice" plan.
