Senate Democratic Leader
johnson joined other party
leaders last night in finding
fault with Republican domestic
policies. but he served notice
on Russia that this country is
united on the Berlin crisis.
Senator johnson was CO.

Speaker Rayburn, at a fund

Mr.. Rayburn. in a bid for
party unity said the voters will
elect a Democratic President
in 1860 If the party is wise
enough to write a platform on
which all good Democrats can
stand.
OLcSSCS UNITY
Another light was the
warning to Democrats by Chair

not to take a 1860 victory for

III Richmond and Newport News.
Other provisions have been added to the
act under the Perrow plan, which will not
be effective until March 1860. These provi-
sions shift pupil placement responsibility
to the local school boards, under c~riterla
developed BY the State Board Of Education,
which body will also be the Appeal Board.
Regardless Of the efficiency Of any public
body, we do not believe as a matter OF gov
ernmental principle that the same body
should make the rules and adj udlcate them.
The future is unpredictable for public
schools. Possibly they will be operated on
the theory Of eNpediency. and laws and
rules Will bend to the will Of the administra-
tors, as is being done now in Warren Coun-
". The Code 22-6 directs the State Board of
Education to prescribe BY regulation the
minimum number of pupils required in or
der to form or maintain a public school.
The minimum standards 50 established re-
quire one-teacher schools. 25 pupils; two
teacher schools, so pupils; three-teacher
schools. Is pupils, etc. Front Royal public
schools have almost one teacher for every
pupil. which appears to US to violate the re
quifement.
When law is abandoned as it has been by
the decision Of the L. S. Supreme Court in
the school case, the tendency is to substitute
expediency. Where this leads no one can
predict. Little stability can be expected
with approximately so per cent Of the legis-
lators. and a larger per cent Of the people
they represent dissatisfied with the law as
now enacted.

fact that there are allergy-sympton colds
In other words, researchers have demon
>trated that people can become emotionally
upset and develop symptoms or signs Of a
COMMON cold, which a physician cannot
detect as being different from the real
thing.
Dr.. Ward believes that. in less than
~twenty-four months, a vaccine will be de-
veloped which will prevent possibly seventy
per cent Of all colds. But. he observes. il
Will probably be difficult to get many peo-
pie TO take this vaccine, Just as it has
proved difficult to get many adults to take
the polio vaccine. and this is certainly a
vaccine which commands more urgent at
tention than a cold vaccine.
However. there are those Of US who will
take a cold vaccine, once it is developed,
and it is good to know that such a vaccine
is on the way - and will probably be
around within two years.

Transferred Responsibility

ABOUT all We can see the Legislature has
done in its efforts to find q solution for
the school problem in Virginia was to shift
the responsibility for racial desegregation
from the State to the localities. 1t really is
a State responsibility. The localities have
neither the funds nor the power to defend
themselves. The State has a sovereignty.
guaranteed BY the T.. S. Constitution. By
one vote in the Virginia Senate and less
than ten in the House Of Delegates the SOY
erel@nty Of Virginia has been impaired. The
basic principles OF constitutional govern
ment have been temporarily surrendered.
What we have is. a makeShift plan to
contain racial inteeration in the schools
based upon the determination Of the local
school boards and the people Of the locali-
ties. or the power Of the courts and the
eaeefneSs Of The N.A.C.P.
The principal defense remaining to the
localities is the pupil placement act. This
is the same Act passed in 1856. amended in
1858. and discarded By the administration
II Was used properly as a defense in but
two instances. namely, Richmond and New
port News. Both Of these school districts
have successfully maintained their position.
In Richmond notably the l956-'5S place
ment Act was the sole defense. The Act has
not been declared unconstitutional - its
constitltionalitv was never argued III the
Federal Courts. Judge Hoffman in dicta
declared il Unconstitutional OH its face, and
Judge Paul refused to consider il. The fact
remains that the Pupil Placement Act still
stands in Virginia law. and is still a defense

Babson Discusses Unemployment

Babson Park. Mass. April %.
Readers must be disturbed by the
contrary reports from Washington
about the employment situation.
One report claims there are more
employed today than there were a
year ago-or perhaps ever-While
another report says there are more
unemployed than a year ago. Prob
ably both of these claims are cor
rect. 1t is easily possible. owing to
the natural growth in population
and to other factors which | will
now enumerate--
~ Manufacturers. retailers. and
labor are pricing themselves out of
business. Most investors put all the
blame on labor. but each group
wants more and tries to raise
prices or wages to secure additional
money. Finally. the public buys
fewer goods. which results in re-
tailers laying off clerks. manu-
facturers laying off workers. II IS
a '.merry-go-round,' with all
groups to blame.
~ Government imposes taxes
taxes for defense. social security.
old age. pensions. farm and for
eign aid, roadbullding. etc. These
taxes make everyone mad and We
u~nconsciously take it ont on labor
by reducing the number of our EN-
ployees.
q, Foreign imports are con-
stantly increasing. Low wages in
Germany, Italy. Japan, and other
countries enable these nations to
export to us all kinds of manu-
featured products at low prices

Cold Epidemics

DR. Thomas G.. Ward, Professor of Niro-
- logv at Notre Dame University, has pre-
dicted that within two years we will have a
vaccine which will prevent almost seventy
per cent Of the common colds. This is news
Of major significance.
Pr Ward says that it has been learned
that between SeYentv-five and eighty per
cent Of colds experienced are caused by a
group Of yirases CT an ordinary bacteria Of
the streptococcus type. DR.. Ward believes
there are probably about twenty different
viruseS producing most Of these colds.
An interesting observation DR.. Ward
makes is that most colds. and all three Of
the cold epidemics. are definitely related
to school children. who mix together in
school and take germs home with them. For

rs parent legally responsible for the
l. misdeeds Of his children? If j had been
asked that question few years ago, ]
could, with safety, have given very SIM
pie answer: No. For almost everywhere
we subscribed to the common-law opinion
that parent cannot be held responsible
unless he has in some way contributed
directly to the misdeed.i
But today the situation is different -
very seriously different - and every par
ent should find out, for his own welfare,
just where he stands. The recent surge Of
Juvenile delinquency has alarmed many
states into passing special statutes that
amend the common law. In fact, since
1855, at least % states have passed laws
that make parent automatically TespOn-
sibe for Intentional damage or injury that
their children cause. These statutes vary in
strictness and as to maximum liability.
The following states have such statutes:
