after receiving legal opinions
from it's attorneys and from
Virginia Attorney General Al

said.
John C. Wood, one of the
boards attorneys, said the
youngsters had asked to be
admitted on Monday and I'VE
didn't want to make a thing
about it,"
Mr.. Wood said the board still
has not decided whether it will
appeal Judge Bryan's ruling.
Seventeen of the 10 Negro
children were admitted to seven
schools Monday and Tuesday
Two others, scheduled to enter

Large Savings

Efficiency Plan

Fairfax County could save
more than 81 million during
the next 10 years if it changes
some Of its procedures. the
Board of Supervisors was told
yesterday.
Recommendations for revised
bookkeeping methods and more
efficient handling of work were
heard by the supervisors, who
are to get preliminary report
from a team of efficiency ex-
pertS next week.
The experts are representa-
tives of Donahue, Grower &
Associates of New York City.
a consulting firm hired for a
three-week check of the county
administration.
Calculation Urged
A major item in the recon-
mendations yesterday was the
suggestion that the county
could save 100000 in 10 years
by distributing work more
evenly among its employees to
increase efficiency.
And the experts said the
county could save $4,000 a
year in tax billing operations
by renting an electronic calcu-
lator.
Non-teaching expenses in the
school administration should
be held to a 2.5 per cent in
crease a year, as in a business,
instead of permitting expenses
to rise in direct ratio to income,
the efficiency experts said.
Changes Design

county's purchasing system

virginia DemOCTdC, dlIlOuIlCeu
the makeup of the 20-mem-
ber committee which includes
some Protestant ministers.
It's formation was criticized
today by Walter Gambill OF
Richmond, vice chairman of
the States Republican Party.
He accused Democrats as being
80 desperate" that they are
using the clergy for partisan
advantage.
Plea to Virginians
Coupled with Mr.. Miller's
announcement was a plea that
Virginians abide by the spirit
of Thomas jefferson in weigh
ing religious questions.
He recalled the words of
jefferson in the Virginia Act
for Religious Freedom:
1.-The prescribing of any
citizen as unworthy of the pub
lie confidence by laying upon
him an incapacity of being
called to the Offices of trust and
emolument, unless he profess or
renounce this or that religious
opinion, is depriving him in
juriously of those privileges and
advantages to which in COM
mon with his fellow citizens he
has a natural right"
Mr.. Miller said the commit
tee will take advantage of
every opportunity that presents
itself between now and Novem-
ber 8 to educate the public"
G. o. P. Report
Mr.. Gambill in a formal
statement released to the press
said devotion to Jeffersonian
ideals is the very reason Vir-
ginia is opposed to Kennedy
(the Democratic presidential
candidate), and added:
True Virginians are not
concerned about where Ken
nedy kneels to pray. What
they fear is Kennedy kneeling
to kiss the feet of Walter
Reuther. That's why Virginia
will go. Republican in Novem-
ber."
Mr.. Miller, who also released
a list of 20 other Virginians
who have indorsed the aims Of
the new committee, said he had
been asked by the Washington
headquarters of Senator Ken
nedy to act as co-ordinator.
But, he said, the committees
basic aim is not to campaign
for Senator Kennedy, whose
Roman Catholic religion has
become an issue in some areas
of the country. but to reduce
the temperature" of discussion
Of the religious issue and keep
them ION the level of reason
and intelligence"
Members of the 20-member
committee are:
Colgate w. Darden, jr., Nor
folk. former Governor of Vir-
ginia; the Right Rev. Robert F.
Gibson, jr.. Episcopal bishop
coadjutor of Richmond; the
Rev. Malcolm P. Calhoun,

Colonel Strikes Again;
Sexes Are Segregated

NAHA, Okinawa, ID. Oct. /
(AP) Col. Joe E. Briley, the
Kadena Air Base commander
who recently banned shorts
and pedal .pushers for women,
now has segregated the school
buses, there. Girls must ride
one bus and boys another.
The ruling applies only to
Air Force students: students
from the Army and Navy still
ride coeducational buses.
According, to Col. Briley's
daughter, Barbara, herself a
student at the local high
school, her fathers fiat has in
vited "a lot of comment from
students, sympathetic remarks
from teen-agers from other
areas and indignant interjec-
tions from those directly af-
fected. Criticism has been
running wild"
Barbara said the ruling was
Evening star., 1960-10-02

made because of a series of
delinquencies and immoral
acts that have taken place on
these Buses" She would not
elaborate, and neither did her
father.
In the last month, Col. Bri-
ley also has banned the wear
ing of zoris (slippers) and geta
tclogs) in public buildings at
Kadena Air Base. He instituted
a similar directive while a base
commander in Japan, causing
a furor, particularly among
wives of servicemen.
The wife of one Kadena Air
Base officer said the comman-
der initially banned all shoes
with a strap through the first
and second toe for Kadena
women but was later forced to
change his ruling to geta and
zoris by a rebellion reaction.

Pill Case UnsOlved
The disappearance Of 1000
dangerous" Syndrox tablets
from the hospital at the Dis
trict Reformatory reported in
another audit has never been
solved. according to Donald
Clemmer, director of the Dis
trict Department of Correc-
tionS.
Mr.. Clemmer said they were
apparently stolen by prisoners
several months ago. However
he said. I'VE haven't noticed
any evidence that prisoners are
taking these drugs"
He said no trace has been
found of the tablets.
DIR. Frederick C. Heath. dep
uty director of the Department
Of Public Health, said that Syn
drox tablets are "so-called pep
pills"
"They stimulate the brain
center and give a feeling of ex-
uberance and well-being." he
said. They're all right if
given in the right dosage. but
they are dangerous because
they give a false sense of we'll
being and can hurt the body
if taken in excess"
