States Credit Proposed
For School Financing

BLUEFIELD, Va, April 9
(AP).-State Treasurer E. B.
Pendleton jr.. proposed tonight
a plan under which Virginia
localities could, in effect, bor-
row school construction money
on the States credit rating at
tremendous savings to tax
payers.
This, Mr.. Pendleton said,
would be done through "the
establishment of a State school
construction bond account from
which money could be loaned
to the localities" The proposal
would require a constitutional
amendment.
Through such a fund. the

Court Bill
Approval
Is Expected

The draft of a District
Juvenile Court bill which pro-
poses sweeping changes in
local law enforcement probably
will be approved by a House
subcommittee tomorrow.
Representative Davis, Demo-
crat of Georgia, chairman OF
the subcommittee, has set the
meeting for 10 am. in execu-
tive session.
Members of the Subcommit-
tee will examine the draft,
which contains provisions ap-
proved in principle last De-
cember by the same subcom-
mittee. The legislation then
will be introduced by Mr.
Davis and hearings are ex-
pected to be held at a later
date.
The bill-which could be-
come the most controversial
piece of local legislation
handled in Congress this year
would wipe out the auto
nomy now enjoyed by the
youth court. Instead, the court
would be placed within the
jurisdiction of Municipal Court.
Instead of adding two new
judges at Juvenile Court, one
more Judge would be author
lied for Municipal Court,
Municipal Court judges would
also be empowered to handle
juvenile cases.
Bills seeking additional
judges at Juvenile Court
repeatedly have failed to win
the approval Of Mr.. Davis

have passed the Senate.

Rural Virginia Holds
ApDortionment Power

quires the General Assembly to
redistrict the State every 10
years after a Federal census is
taken. In 1850, the Legislature
recognized its obligation and
appointed a RediStricting Com
mission which submitted a re-
port to the 1852 session.
Study Group Named
The 1860 session of the
General Assembly, however,
failed to appoint a commission
to study necessary legislation
which the Constitution says
must be passed next year. Gov
Almond subsequently appointed
a 20-member study group-with
two from each congressional
district-headed by Delegate
Lawrence Hoover of Harrison
burg, to report late this year.
Members from the nearby
10th district are Arlington State
Senator Charles R. Fenwick
and former Delegate Omer L.
Hirst of Fairfax. Mr.. Hoover
said yesterday the first meeting
of the commission will be held
soon.
Arlington Delegate Harrison
Mann, discussing legislative re-
diStricting recently, said the
ideal State senatorial district
should have $4,000 persons and
there should be one delegate
for every $4,000 persons.

times whether our area will get

sion taken from a suspect by
police during a period of "un-
necessary delay" between his
arrest and arraignment.
The police here and many
judges construed this ruling
narrowly, and there was much
talk that the use of confessions
at trials were out to a large de-
gree. Both the prosecutors and
the police complained that law
enforcement was being frus-
trated, especially in cases where
confessions were the keystone
of conviction.
But Mr.. Gasch offered what
he felt was at least a partial
antidote, He started a series OF
lectures for members of the
police force here. His staff
members told the officers about
the Mallory ruling, explained
what it-and other court de-
ciSions bearing on this question
meant insofar as police
methods would be affected.
This lecture course, Mr.
Gasch feels, has paid off.
Effect Minimized
Through the lectures and
through the "expedient of care
fully screening cases involving
Mallory, we have been able to
minimize the effect of this re-
strictive doctrine" he said.
I'VE are not nearly so de-
pendent on confessions as we
once were and have learned to
rely on other evidence"
But the lecture course wasn't
restricted to confessions and
insanity. The appellate court
here over the last few years
has also been slapping the
wrists of policemen who steI
out of bounds in search anc
seizure cases.
Mr.. Gasch and his assistants
laid special emphasis on this
phase Of the law, explaining tt
local police the legal limits Of
search and seizure. Opinions
from the appellate court soor
started to drop words of praise
| for arresting officers from time
to time, lauding the following
of proper legal steps in making
arrests and gathering evidence

from a growing trend for ou

while a certain amount O
this could even be describe
as desirable, it's obvious tina
in order to lay down thes

"The result of this has bee
the penalizing of the polio

generally-to the detriment G
the public. I feel that legis

Meeting the Press

1t is true that John F. Kennedy.
thes candidate, said he thought that
whoever was President would see the
press at least once week." 1t is also
true. that his performance in this re-
spect, now that he is President, falls
considerably short of the implicit
promise.
This, however, is by no means the
first campaign utterance to vanish
with the wind, after the ballots had
been counted. Nor will it be the last.
Furthermore, Mr.. Kennedy, it seems to
us, has made pretty good case for not
adhering to any rigid conference
schedule.
At his news session this week, Mr..
Kennedy said he was anxious" to hold
press conferences as often as he believed
1t to be "in the public interest" This,
OF course, is far cry from the campaign
statement. But there also is vast
difference between being a candidate

With respect to matters of this sort
matters which touch upon our national

the public interest for the President to
expose himself every week to unre-

or even refusal to answer an adroitly
framed question, could bring undesirable
even harmful-repercusSions.
This being the case, we confess to
certain sympathy with Mr.. Kennedy's
Encouragement from his campaign as
Surance. He has an obligation to COM
municate with people through the press
and other media. But if in a given week
ne has nothing to say, or if delicate
matters have reached point at which
silence would be better than verbosity,
there certainly is no good reason why
any President should subject himself

School Aid Debate

James A. Miller in his
letter misquoted me on school
aid. My statement was that
mo general program of
grants or loans for conStruc-
ton Of church buildings or
church school buildings has
ever been passed by Congress. "
This is true.
Mr.. Miller cited the loan
program for construction of
college dormitories from
which church colleges have
not been excluded. This is
not "a general program for
churches or church schools. {"
1t is, in fact, a narrowly re-
stricted program under which
private colleges may borrow
exclusively for construction
of housing facilities.
This program is not under
education at all. 1t is under
housing and it excludes any
assistance for academic build
ingS or worship facilities for
church colleges.
A major objection to such
legislation is that protago-
nists of church subsidy try
to use it as warrant for a
general program of loans -
which Congress has definitely
never enacted to this point.
