Commission Treasurer James

studies show the projects can
be financed without a notice

poets to have a specific pro-
posal next week.
These two premises-develop-

trary to arguments Of the Mary

Planning Commission. For these
reasons. the bicounty agency
has fatty rejected three prof.
ects and given only conditional
approval to seven others.
Law Requires Program
The agency's recommended
tons will be forwarded to the
heads of each county. but only
Montgomery has authority to
delete projects. The sanitary
commission, by law. must adopt
a five-year program by Octo-
Der /.
Planners long have felt the
sanitary commission generally
favors high density develop
ment to insure the presence of
residents to pay for sewer
projects.
On the other hand, the sani-
tary commission feels planners
will for the most part oppose
major sewer extensions in order
to preserve large residential
lots.
Planners rejected the project

were set up in church buildings
and lodge halls.
In a preliminary registration
this year. the foundation said.
about 900 students signed UP
for private classes.
In yesterdays court pro-
ceedings. the county based its
appeal for withdrawal Of Judge
Paul's integration order on the
fact that the county now has
a high school for Negroes. The
judges integration order last
year was issued primarily be-
cause Warren County Negroes
were being sent to other juris-
dictions for their high school
education. Most had to live
away from home.
In his plea to Judge Paul.
Mr.. Phillips said the county
needed more time to work out
a plan for desegregation.
Time Seen Available
Judge Paul said the school
board has had plenty Of time
to work out q plan. He said he
would not dissolve the injunc-
ton and lust let the school
board drift"
The Judge also told Mr.. Phil
lips that the school board need
not worry about the State Pu-
pill Placement Board which. UNI
der State law. supposedly is the
only body which has authority
to assign pupils. Judge Paul
said the State Pupil Placement
Act is being administered in a
discriminatory and unconsti-
tutional" manner.
Mr.. Phillips said that since
the placement act has never
been declared unconstitutional
the school board felt obliged
to submit transfer applications
to the State board.
This court is certainly not
going to let itself be overruled
by any pupil placement board, I"
Judge Paul said. The placement
board has never yet assigned
a Negro to a white school.
The judges comment indi-
Gated that he will rule similarly
in a Charlottesville case sched-
uled to come before him tomor.
row. The placement board re-
jected some Negro transfer re-
quests after the Charlottesville
School Board had approved
their admission to white schools.
The school board, which has
adopted a court-approved de-
segregation plan, is asking Judge
Paul to clarity the situation.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-09-04

any specific action it plans to
accomplish desegregation.
The suit was the third in
stigated in the last two weeks
against nearby Virginia school
boards.
Sixteen colored children
from Arlington and 26 from
Fairfax have requested the
Federal Court to force their
entry into segregated or
primarily white schools.
All three resulted after the
State Pupil Placement Board
in Richmond rejected transfer
applications from the students
and assigned them to schools
attended solely by Negroes.
Under existing Virginia law,
all transfer requests must be
submitted to the State board.
However. when notified of
the latest suit, chairman
Robert C. Howard said yester-
day the Alexandra school
board intends to reconsider
each Of the Is Negro applica-
tons.
THE board will go over each
one and make the decision on
It," he said.
Earlier School Supt. T. c.
Williams said that court orders
make school board review Of
the applications mandatory.
He reported the board be-
lieves it must bear final re-
sponsibility for assignment OF
pupils and that its decisions
may or may not coincide with
those of the State board.
In their latest plea to Judge
Bryan, Attorneys Otto l..
Tucker and Frank D. Reeves
asserted the Is children live
closer to white schools than
to the Negro schools in which
the State board put them.
They charged the Negroes
were rebuffed solely because
they are Negroes.
Mr.. Tucker said that because
of earlier communications with
the Alexandria School Board,
he believes it will not approve
the transfer applications.
The attorneys asked Judge
Bryan to grant them a hearing
next Tuesday, the day Alex
andria schools open.
AS a consequence Of an
earlier suit, Judge Bryan last
February ordered admission OF
nine Negroes to segregated
Alexandria schools.

After a 41a-hour closed ses-
sion last night. the foundation
announced: TT was the feeling
OF the (foundation) board that
the parents of this county
should have freedom Of choice
in the matter Of where their
children shoulo attend school.
There is an integrated high

but no segregated white school.
To meet this need, and so that
all may exercise freedom of
choice, the foundation decided
to proceed to establish such q
school"
Previously. the foundation
had postponed a decision on
operating the private classes
pending a survey of facilities,
teachers and finances.
The announcement by Foun-
dation President Hugh Nc
Cormick said it will cost about
$780, 900 to operate the private
school this year. About 500, 900
has been paid or pledged so
far. The foundation plans to
use State tuition grants 70 help
operate, but wants the money
pledged by parents before the
school opens.

and that classes will be started

use. Last years classes, at

and gave conditional approval
to another slated for the
Northwest Branch valley in
Montgomery County. Con-
struction. they say. should
await completion of a master
coming plan for the valley. The
plan is expected next year.
Master Plan Involved
Conditional approval was
granted a sewer along North
Branch in Rock Greek, pending
adoption of a Rock Creek mas
ter plan to be released in the
next two months.
Rejection was also recon-
.mended for a sewer along Little
Paint Branch pending adoption
of a master plan study that
will not be started until 1861.
In turning down the pro-
posed 34-mile Patuxent River
sewer line and treatment plant.
planners said the project was
premature because there would
not be enough population to
finance the work. Construction
would be financed with bonds
redeemed by service charges
levied against residents.
Planners yesterday announced
a change in their recommended
ton on a Fort Foote sewer
from disapproval to condi-
tional approval. They said the
project in Prince Georges is
too close to two others they
conditionally approved. These
are sewers at Oxon Run and
Broad Creek.
The conditional recommen-
dalton was based on the I'M
certain future of the George
Washington Memorial Parkway
and approaches to the Jones
Point Bridge.
