Discharges 2 Officials
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va,
Mar. 26 (AP).-Two admins
ttators in the anti-integration
private school set-up here we're
fired by the sponsoring foun-
dations today after criticizing
the high school operation.
The president Of the parent
Charlottesville Educa ion a
Foundation said the criticism
was obviously a deliberate at
tempt to discredit the educa-
tional programs" of the pri-
vate schools.
. Both Arthur D. Barfield,
education director for the CEF
and Arthur L. Ribble, director
of instruction at Rock Hill
Academy, the private high
school, had announced resig-
nations effective next summer.
The firings were made retro
active to Friday.
Mr.. Barfeld was fired at q
special meeting of the founda-
tion's board Of directors. Mr..
Ribble was fired by Downing l..
Smith, president of the Rock
Hill Corp, subject to formal
approval Of the corporations
board on Monday.
Mr.. Ribble had submitted his
resignation Friday, saying he
felt a proposed cut in the
schools staff for next year
would leave the school with an
unavoidable program. He said
his thought was that the pri-
vate school was not to replace
the public schools, but to sup
plement them. When the school
fails in its educational objec-
tives, then it fails to accom-
plish the purpose for which I
was. working"
Evening star., 1960-03-27

Mr.. Barfield, who had sub
mitted his resignation two
months ago, said similar rea-
sons lay behind his decision.
Mr.. Smith said In a formal
statement today that the only
decision made by the Rock Hill
board to cut the teaching or
administrative staff came on
March 8 when the board de-
cided to eliminate the position
of director Of instruction-the
job held by Mr.. Ribble.
Mr.. Smiths statement add
ed that although the formal
budget for next year has not
been adopted. general teacher
salary increases are planned
and the board intends to add
two new teaching posts.
Henry B. Gordon. president
Of the CEF, said that a pre-
liminary investigation leads
me to believe that Mr.. Barfleld
engineered the press releases
without consultations of
any kind with other CEF rep
resentatives. The action was
obviously a deliberate attempt
to discredit the educational
programs" Of the private
schools operated by the CEF.
Both Messrs. Smith and
Gordon spoke highly Of Walter
L. Flora, Rock Hill principal
who submitted his resignation
Thursday.
Mr.. Flora said Friday he was
reconsidering his decision but
that his feeling he hasn't
been left alone to do my Job
as I've seen fit" will have to
be clarified with the Rock Hill
board.
