Colleges Cut

To Fit Space

HOT SPRINGS, Va, July 81
(AP).-The president of one
Of Virginia's major teacher
training colleges said today he
had to turn down the applica-
tions of many well-qualified
students" because of a lack Of
space.
DR.. F. G. Lankford, jr., Of
Longwood College at Farmville
added in his annual report to
the State Board of Education:
This is quite likely to be the
situation for at least the next
two years since we have no
dormitories under construc-
tion."
DR.. G. Tyler Miller, presi-
dent of Madison College at
Harrisonburg, told the board
that Madison also had to turn
away qualified students. He
said the college quit processing
new applications after building
up a backlog of rs above the
number that could be accepted.
The State board, which
serves as the board of visitors
for Lohgwood and Madison,
opened a three-day meeting
here etoday.
DR.. Lankford estimated that
Longwood would have an en-
rollment next fall of 1922 stu
dents. Four hundred Of these
will be new students.
For the 400 vacancies we
had for new students, we have
had 1850 applications" he
said. This, of course, means
that we have had to deny ad-
mission to many well-qualified
students"
On another subject, DR..
Lankford told the board he
hoped to start construction be-
fore winter on two new build
ings at Longwood-a physical
education building and a laun-
dry building.
Meanwhile, he said, an ad-
dition to the Longwood library
is ahead Of schedule.

today by Alexandria Corpora
ton Court Judge Franklin P.
BackuS, after he was found

ton last June 6.
The man, Thomas P. Martini,

along with Paul F. Holland, 40,
Of the Hunting Towers apart
in a raid which police
said broke up a $5,0O0-a-month
abortion ring.

the sentence after a 40-year-
old New York State housewife

name, Mrs. X'-testified she
was taken to a Hunting Towers

was performed.
Police raiders, led by De-

would open the way to PreSl-
dent Kennedy's nomination
later of Virginia's Gov. Almond
to succeed Judge Bryan on the
District Court.
Because Senator Byrd and
Gov. Almond are at odds, any
nomination of the Governor
by the President could bring
violent opposition from the
Virginia Senator.
The Senate, by tradition,
usually goes along If a single
Senator opposes as personally
obnoxious" to him any Federal
appointment to a job wholly
within his State. But the Fourth
Circuit includes not only
Virginia but Maryland, West
Virginia, North Carolina and
South Carolina.
Senator Byrd, contacted to-
day, said his Endorsement Of
Gov. Almond or any candidate
for the Federal judgeshir
would have to wait until a va
cancy is created. I would have
no comment until that time, -
he said.
Judge Bryan's selection to
the appeals post has been dis
cussed with him by the admin
istration, he said, and the
Judge has his Endorsement.
Such q situation raises for
the President somewhat Of a
dilemma.
Senator Byrd didn't support
Mr.. Kennedy for the presidency
and frequently votes with the
Republicans against the Demo-
cratic administration. Gov. Al
mond worked actively with the
Kennedy ticket in last years
presidential campaign.
Thus, it appears the Presi-

nothing. But there is more in
