2 STERILIZATION
BILLS KILLED

RICHMOND. Feb. IS tAP).
The House Courts Of Justice
Committee yesterday killed two
bills dealing with sterilization.
One bill called for the steri-
lization Of mothers of illegiti-
mate children after the second
birth, provided welfare funds
were involved in the first.
The other bill concerned
parents who are chronically i'll
or mentally deficient and may
have offspring similarly af-
fected. This measure would
have set up four-member local
eugenic boards.
In both measures a system
of court appeals was included.
DR.. w. A. Pennington Of
Buckingham. chief patron Of
the illegitimate children bill.
said, The emotional effects Of
sterilization are far less than
those which the mother should
have suffered by bringing lille
gitimate children into this
world under the shadow of
bastardy."
Opposition came from well
fare officials and Mrs. Jack
M. Thompson of Ashland, legis-
lative chairman of the Dioce-
san Council Of Catholic Women.

Most groups stressed that
they did not oppose the entire
plan, only some parts Of it
dealing with their areas.
Support for the plan, which
calls for IL industrial parks
covering more than 5000 acres.
came from representatives of
bushes and industry, who said
the county needed the plan to
attract industry. The county
now has 1874 acres zoned for
industry.
The hearing, expected by
some to last as long as two
days, was completed in about
five hours. Chairman Anne
Wilkins said the board would
decide Saturday on a date to
act on the plan.
Buffer Zones Asked
The hearing opened with a
joint plea from eight civic
associations from the Spring
field area for properly safe
guarding" residential areas.
The associations, represent
ing an estimated $4,000 resi-
dents, called for buffer zones
between homes and industry
and access roads within in
dustrial areas.
Noting that the plan calls
| for 655 acres of industrial land
in the Springfield area, the
civic associations said:
"Such an extensive industrial
proposal will have a direct ad-
verse impact on a principal
urbanized residential region OF
the county. :"
The Bren Mar Park Civic
Association opposed inclusion
in the plan of land along the

association said would leave

Pupil Placing
Board Quits
In Protest

RICHMOND, Feb. IS CAP).-
The Virginia Pupil Placement
Board resigned en- masse yes
terday after informing Gov.
Almond 1t is not in sympathy
with a State law that provides
for local option In school as
signments starting March /.
The three board members
also said there were personal
reasons why they could not
continue on the agency, created
as the States first line Of de-
fense against public school in
tegration.
The members are Beverly H.
Randolph. jr. of Richmond,
Andrew A. Farley Of Danville
and Hugh v. White of Nanse-
mond.
Explain Stand
In a letter TO Gov. Almond,
they said:
You will recall that this
board recommended to the Per.
row Commission that assign
mentS should be made on a
State basis and that a full-time
board should be established to
take care Of the problems in
herent in the job.
This advice was rejected and
localities were empowered to
assign on a local basis as Of
March /, 1860, under what was
described as the freedom OF
choice policy. but which, in
practical effect, shifts the bur-
den from the State to the
localities.
The undersigned are not
in accord with the thinking of
those who believe that assign
mentS of pupils should be on
either a local basis or on a dual
basis Of part local and part
State. The. responsibility should
be centered in a State agency"
Theory Of Program
| Under Virginia's original
anti-integration program. the
State Pupil Placement Board
was set up to handle all STU
dent assignments. The theory
was that State agency would
be a firmer barrier against
school integration than some
local school boards.
Federal court decisions,
however, by-passed the place
1 ment board and localities con-
fronted with integrauon liti-
cation found it necessary to
handle assignments themselves
I Integrated classes began in a
number Of communities a year
ago.
