The letter stated: IF you are
elected as President of this great
nation CT ours, will you advocate
measures to prevent this from
happening to other children Of the
ration? viii YOU use the powers
Of this great office to correct this
evil that is negatively affecting

The president of the organiza-
ton, also local coordinator for
the NAACP, recalled how the
county board of supervisors de-
clined to levy any taxes to sup
port public schools after denial
OF request that desegregation
be delayed. The action closed the
public schools.
Mr.. Griffin wrote: "This little
Virginia community has defied
the courts, and violated every
principle Of democracy. Strong
federal intervention is needed to
save us from ourselves and guar
antee our children a fair chance
in an everchanging world"
No mention of an offer of pri-
vate schools similar to the ones
operated for white children was
made public in reports stem
ming from release of the letter.
Teachers Plea
An earlier feeler seeking fed
eral intervention or pulse taking
on the school situation is on the
record, too. Last spring the Vir-
ginia Teachers Association adopt
ed a resolution asking the federal
government to establish public
schools in Prince Edward county.
The Association is the state
wide organization Of Negro teach
ers.
No public record of any re-
Spouse to the teachers resolution
was ever published.
