Evans embarked for Kolomban-
CARA in a dugout canoe with a
native helper named Malanga,
who had picked up some Eng
lish in a mission school. Travel
ing by night and hiding by day,
they passed so close to the
Munda airstrip that they could
hear Japanese trucks in the
darkness. 1t. D. c. Horton, the
coaStWatcher on Rendova, had
sent scouts to Kolombangara
ahead of Evans to notify the
natives he was coming. AS a
result a friendly delegation, in
cluding Row, the ancient head
man, met him and built him
the hut on the knob on the
south shore.
From this height he could
look not only down upon Villa,
but out across Blackett Strait

Republicans also feel they
have at least an outside chance
for the Oregon seat of Senator
Morse, a time Republican,
and the Massachusetts, seat
formerly held by President
Kennedy and now occupied by
Benjamin A. Smith.
The Presidents brother, Ed
ward, may seek the Democratic
nomination for the Massachu-
sets post. If so, the race will be
nationally spotlighted. George
C. Lodge, son of former Senator
and former U. N. Ambassador
Henry Cabot Lodge, already
has announced for the Re-
publican nomination.
Hold "a Seats
The Democrats now hold "a
Senate seats and Republicans
SO. Mathematically the G. o. P.
could win Senate Control next
year, but actually party stra-
tegistS concede there is no
chance.
For one thing, even Southern
seats are included among the
81 Democratic posts at stake,
and Republicans have little
hope in any of these. They
promise, however, to run a can
didate for at least one, that
held by Senator Smathers of
Florida.
In addition, Democrats will
be strong favorites to hold sew
eral other seats such as the
one occupied by veteran Sena-
tor Magnuson of Washington.
Thirty-four of the races next
year will be for full six-year
terms.
In Massachusetts the contest
will be for the remaining two
years of the term to which John
F. Kennedy was elected in 1858.
In New Hampshire and Wyom-
ing there will be races for un-
expired four-year terms.

Prince Edward
CountySchooIs
Remain Closed

Richmond, Va. = Despite un-
contested testimony and evidence
that the Prince Edward County
public school system was abolish
ed for the sole purpose of circum-
venting court-decreed desegrega-
ton, United States District Judge
Oren r. Lewis has made it clear
that he will not now order the re-
opening of public schools in the
Southside Virginia county.
Judge Lewis indicated his posi-
tion near the end of the three-and-
a-half day trial which closed in
the Federal District Court here
on July 27. He reached this con-
clusion, he said, in the absence Of
a demonstrated Federal conStitu-
tiOnal requirement that local and
state governments maintain a sy-
stem of free public schools. The
question as to whether the Virginia
constitution requires the mainte-
nance of public schools is one to
be determined by state courts, he
asserted.
NAACP attorneys Robert L.
Carter of New York City and S.
w. Tucker of Richmond and EN-
poria, Va, contended in their arg
uments that the issue before the
court was not the constitutional
responsibility to maintain public
schools but rather the constitution
al prohibition against official To-
cal or state action to thwart a
federal court order or to deprive
Negroes of their constitutional
rights. Mr.. Carter cited five cases
in which courts have banned such
intervention.
