Poff Not Running
For Vice President

RADFORD, Va, July 20
(AP). - Representative Poff,
Republican of Virginia, said he
is mot running for the vice
presidential nomination" at
the Republican National Con-
vention, and termed a favor
ite sen suggestion by some Of
his friends simply a gesture
of kindness.
He told a reporter it is "a
gesture which poorly deserve
but richly appreciate"
Its only useful function, Mr..
Poff said, "is to preserve the
uncommitted status of the Vir-
ginia delegation until the lead
ing contenders for the nomina-
ton emerge"
He said this will give the
delegation an opportunity to
make a mature appraisal of
the contenders and will in
crease the delegations bar
gaining power, both in the
nominating process and in the
formulation of the Republican
platform"
Virginia delegates had a,
modest Poff-for-Vice President
bandwagon ready to roll if
Richard NJ. Nixon didn't flash
the stop sign in Chicago.

proximity of a Negro school to
the child's home.
The plan was revealed last
night by James H. Simmonds,
attorney. after a closed session
of the board. He said the de-
cision not to oppose the appli-
cations of the three Negroes
does not mean the automatic
admission to the schools in
volved.
1t came in response to a re-
quest by Judge Bryan, who told
the school board to inform the
court what action it had taken
on all the applications. !
The plan was passed unani-
mously by the board at last
nights meeting.
Use as Required
The board said it would use
the desegregation plan to the
extent that it might be re-
quired, or empowered. The re-
lection of Negro students ap-
plications earlier were made
by the Virginia Pupil Place
ment Board, and the board said
it did not know the reasons for
denial.
The board said 1t would con-
slider all applications and vote
to oppose or not to oppose
them, but declared that it was
without power to grant or deny
admission to the school. The
Fairfax authorities believe the
State Pupil Placement Board
has authority over the applica-
tions.
Trial of the desegregation
case has been scheduled for
September 8 before Judge
Bryan.

'WeIIing Starts His Lost
D. C. Construction Job

Gen. A. c. yelling, at his
final groundbreaking cere-
mony, today proved he was not
the kind of soldier who believes
in just fading away.
His exit line on the ground
breaking front was five booms
of a ceremonial cannon and a

Gen. yelling, who is winding
up a three-year term as Dis

wore the same orange con-
struction mans helmet-com-
plete with his name and star

General Surprised

Costs Plan

BALTIMORE, July 20 (AP) .
"A proposal to change the
States aid-to-education formu-
Ia so that Maryland would in
crease its share of public school
costs was received unenthusi-
astically last night by the Legis-
lative Councils Committee on
Taxation and Fiscal Matters.
Maryland school administra-
tors submitted the Mort plan,
so-called for the consultant
who helped draft it, to the
committee.
Under the proposal, the State
would pay under a new formu-
la, about so per cent of the
cost of operating public schools.
1t now pays about AZ per cent.
Senator William S. James,
Democrat of Hartford, commit
tee chairman, saw little prospect
of the programs enactment in
the next session of the Gen
eral Assembly.
He said his committee ap-
peared in agreement informally
against a change in the aid-to-
education formula in the forth
coming session.
He pointed out that another
committee - one appointed by
Gov. Tawes-has been charged
specifically with studying school
finances.
Senator James said this
group must produce a report by
November l. He suggested that
any major changes in the for
mula for State-sharing of edu-
cation costs would be held for
the 1862 session of the Legisla-

posed by the board are Gerald
R. Betz of RID 4, Annandale:

Brooks of Route S. Vienna.
The first two children would
be admitted to Belvedere Ele-
mentary School, and the other

Plan Outlined
The board outlined a deseg-
regation plan under which it
would admit only six first and
second graders during the
1960-61 school year, with an
other grade added each sue
ceeding year.
CThe Third Circuit Court of
Appeals yesterday told Della
ware that its one-grade-a-year
public hool desegregation
plan was too slow and ordered
an end to segregation by the
fall of 1861
The board said it would con-
slider each application, taking
the following factors into ac-
count: How the educational
needs of the applicant may
best be served, the availability
of school facilities and pro-
grams, the effect upon the
orderly administration of such
schools. the competent instruc-
tion of the pupils enrolled, and
the heaeith, safety and best
interests and general welfare
of such pupils"
Race shall not be a factor,
the board said, except in the
gradual deSegregation plan.
Most OF the n children op-
posed by the board were OPP
posed on the grounds that
they were not first or second
graders.

the admission of five pupils on
the ground their academic
