Byrd Is Target
Of 0fNeWAttack
By Stephens
By the Associated Press

1t. Gov. A. E. S. Stephens
has mounted a frontal assault
against Senator Harry F. Byrd
in bidding for the Democratic
nomination for Governor of
Virginia.
Mr.. Stephens said the latest
action by the chief of the State
D e ocratic organization
clearly dmonStrates that I am
not running against Albertis
Harrison, but that I am oppos-
ing the head of a machine who
would be United States Senator
and Governor at the same
time" Mr.. Harrison heads a
slate which has the Byrd Or
ganization's backing.
Mr.. Stephens blasts as he
campaigned in southwest Vir-
ginia appeared to be a con-
sidered nov or never" tactic
to topple the leadership of the
Organization of which he was
a member himself until re-
Gently.
What triggered Mr.. Stephens
attack was disclosure by Sem
ator Byrd's Washington office
of a letter from Mr.. Stephens
last December 5 expressing the
hope Senator Byrd would sup
port his candidacy. Mr.. Ste
phenS had said at Jonesville
earlier in the week he wanted
to make it crystal clear that
I have not at any time solicited
the support of Senator Byrd" I"
Stephens Discusses Issue
M. j. Menefee, Senator Byrd'S
executive aide, said the only
reason the letter was released
was to correct an inaccurate
statement by Mr.. Stephens,
obviously made for political
purposes"
Along with the Mr.. Stephens
letter, Senator Byrd's office re-
leased his reply. saying he would
be glad to see Mr.. Stephens in
Winchester or Washington at
his convenience. Mr.. Stephens
did not reply.
Mr.. Stephens dwelt on the is
sue at length in his 9th District
campaigning yesterday. He told
a luncheon meeting at Brushy
Mountain, near Bland.
When I made the statement
I in JoneSville in which I said
had not sought the support of
Byrd it was made in good
faith. I meant that I had not
contacted Senator Byrd in per-
son or by telephone to ask for
his support"
Later Mr.. Stephens said in a
statement:
Undoubtedly it was planned
that I would panic at this an
nouncement disclosure of his
letter. and deny it ever took
place.
Wrote to Others
II do not deny it. I did ex-
press by letter to Senator Byrd
a hope that he would support
me. I also asked Congressman
Howard Smith and Congress
man William Tuck for their
support. I also wrote or tele-
graphed practically every men,
ber of theh General Assembly
and expressed hope that they
would support me.
However, I made no COM
promise when I made these re-
quests and I say I asked
for their support on my terms
only"
He said he did not respond
to Senator Byrd's agreement to
meet with him because I con-
cluded our ideas were so in
compatible I could not go out
and ask the people to continue
this machine in power"
Mr.. Stephens said he re-
garded it as "reprehensible, to
put it mildly" for the senior
Senator to release piece by
piece correspondence ito dis
credit me in the eyes of the
people"
This is a primary of pen
pals" Mr.. Stephens said. IT
write the letters. Senator Byrd
releases them to his pals"

a team for the States three top
offices, the candidates showed
concern over prospects of ticket
splitting which could see one or
more of their slate nominated
along with someone from the
opposite camp.
The frequency with which
Mr.. Boothe's name was men,
toned at a rally last night and
in speeches earlier in the day,
singled him out as their great
est concern.
The ticket headed by Albertis
S. Harrison, jr., for Governor,
has the backing of the Byrd
organization and he is believed
to hold the edge over his op-
ponent, A. E. s. Stephens, the
present Lieutenant Governor.
In Enemy Territory"
Mr.. Harrison and his running
mates, State Senator Mills E.
Goodwin. jr., for Lieutenant
Governor, and State Senator
Robert Y. Button of Culpeper
for attorney general. did not
let the fact that they were in
Mr.. Boothe's home territory
restrain their assaults on him.
Mr.. Harrison said Mr..
Boothe's record of opposition to
the States right-to-work law,
plus his backing by labor, would
mean, if the Alexandrian were
elected, "the word would get
out that Virginia is turning a
little bit to the left"
Mr.. Boothe claims the law is
not an issue because he. like
all of the candidates, does not
want it changed in any way.
Mr.. Goodwin recited what
he said was Mr.. Boothe's record
Of opposing the law and fighting
amendments which gave it more
strength.
why has he changed, today,
giving lip service to that law
he so violently opposed?" Mr..
Goodwin asked. "He knows he
doesn't have a Chinaman's
chance to get elected to State
wide office in Virginia unless he
takes that position"
Unity Challenged
Mr.. Button emphasized that
members of his ticket were
campaigning together while
those on the opposite slate NOV
are going their various and
sundry ways without urging
support for each other"
All three of the candidates
hit hard on the theme that 1t
would not be good for Virginia
to elect Mr.. Stephens as Cover

Extent of Segregation in North
Cited
Mr.. Maslow cited an American
Jewish Congress survey indicating
the extent of ode facto" school
segregation in Northern cities. In
New York City, he said, rs ele-
mentary schools have student bod
les consisting of at least 80 per
cent Negro or Puerto Rican pu-
pills. In Chicago, 100000 children
= 81 per cent of the city's Ne
gro elementary school pupils -
attend schools that are "to all in
tents and purposes Negro schools"
In Los Angeles, 43 of the city's
404 elementary schools have Ne
gro enrollments of IS per cent or
more. In Philadelphia, ID per cent
of the city's elementary schools
have Negro enrollments of more
than SO per cent.
Hundreds of thousands of Ne
gro children living in Northern
cities attend segregated schools
more children than go to seq
regated schools in Southern met
ropolitan areas" Mr.. Maslow de-
clared.

ing from "black ghettoes" in their
cities.
AS an example, he pointed to
Chicago, where he said 102, 900
Negro children-87 per cent of
the city's non-white elementary
school population-.attend schools
that are virtually all-Negro.
An authority on civil rights and
civil liberties, Mr.. Maslow assert
ed that ode facto" school segre-
CATION may be held unconstitu-
'ional even where there is no state
law or official policy explicitly
barring the admission of nom
white children.
He described three methods that
he said could be used effectively
to eliminate ode facto" school seq
regation in Northern cities:
u The "open enrolment policy"
recently adopted by the New York
City Board of Education, under
which children from schools with
heavy concentrations of Negro or
Puerto Rican children are given
the option of transferring to
schools outside their neighborhoods
which have room for them. Phila-
delphia and Baltimore have also
adopted this plan, Mr.. Maslow
said.
q The princeton plan," adopt
ed in the Princeton, N. j., public
schools. Under this plan, two near
by schools-one in a predominant
ly Negro area and the other at
tended primarily by white chill
dren-are reclassified SO that one
school is attended by children in
the lower grades and the other by
children in the upper grades, thus
achieving genuine Indignation.
81 Permissive bussing, recently
launched in Detroit, under which
children from overcrowded Negro
schools are transported by bus to
under-utilized "white" schools.
"By breaking with the tradition
al requirement that children at
tend schools in their own neigh
borhoods," Mr.. Maslow declared,
school boards have a unique OPP
rortunity to provide equal educa-
ton for all the children entrusted
to them"
Motivation and Efftct' Held
Crucial Tests
The United States Supreme
Court ruling that school segre-
cation "has a tendency to retard
the educational and mental de-
velopment of Negro children" was
net limited to segregation imposed
by law, Mr.. Maslow declared. Con-
seouently, he added, educators
and judges must face the crucial
tests of motivation and effect" in
determining whether school seq
regation exists. Mr.. Maslow con-
tinued:
segregation may be held I'M
lawful if it is the result of gerry

Negroes Protest
Against Sending
AII-White Track

Africa Ignored

An American Negro protes
against the sending Of an all-whit,
United States track team to Soutl
Africa has gone unheeded.
! Daniel ]. Ferris, Amateur Ath
letic Union secretary in charge o.
foreign affairs, confirms that tn,
unofficial athletic clearinghouse,
will go ahead with its plan to &C
cept South African invitation
for the appearance in that countr,
Of selected United States track
stars. All of those invited are
white.
We've been sending out ath.
letic teams for 20 years on ar
invitation basis and see no reason
to change now," Mr.. Ferris de-
clared. He indicated that only
State Department Intervention
would change the picture.
Indicating sympathy with the
South African invitation which
came on people-to-people basis,
he explained: eve, too, have to
do a lot our government requests,
whether we want to or not"
After the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People protested the segregated
basis of the forthcoming meet in
a field in which American Negroes
have achieved considerable
prowess word was received from
South Africa that if the white
United States athletes could stay
long enough, they would be asked
to participate in an exhibit meet
for the blacks of South Africa.

the AAU's decision to acquiesce in
South Africa's apartheid policy"

Wilkins in a wire to Mr.. Ferris
said:

stories, the request was for pre-
ferred athletes. Same difference.

henceforth blame residential pat
terms for segregated schools if
they reinforce such patterns by
their own actions or by culpable
inaction," Mr.. Maslow asserted.
Color Blind or Color Conscious?
The American Jewish Congress
leader noted that following the
1854 Supreme Court decision out
having public school segregation,
school boards in Northern cities
had two alternatives. The Y
could, he said, be "color blind" re-
fusing to assume any responsible
ity for segregated schools arising
from no policy or action of their
own, or they could be "color con-
scious," recognizing that if seq
regation means inferior education,
school authorities have "at least
a moral responsibility to take af-
firmative steps to reduce or limit
if not eliminate segregation"
While almost all Northern school
boards have tacitly adopted h e
"color blind" position, Mr.. Maslow
noted, one of the few school boards
that chose to be "color conscious"
was the New York City Board of
Education. He described as "bold
and challenging" the New York
policy to seek mot merely the
token admission in white schools
of few carefully chosen Negro
children but the establishment of
heterogeneous school populations
in which substantial numbers of
white and Negro children are mix

schools or other policies deliber-
ately designed to establish OF
maintain homogeneous racial
school population - even if the
words race or Negro are scrupu-
lousy avoided in official declara-
TONS"
In some circumstances, the fail
ure by official school bodies to
act may also constitute a denial
of equal protection of the laws as
required by the Constitution, Mr..
Maslow declared. He cited the de-
cision handed down last month by
Federal Judge Irving Kaufman,
which held that the school board
of New Rochelle, N. Y, in it's de-
sire to maintain the Lincoln School
as a racially segregated school,
had not acted in good faith to i'm
plement desegregation as required
by the Fourteenth Amendment.
The New Rochelle case is a
landmark decision" serving as a
major step forward in the ex-
banding concept of state action to
end school segregation" Mr.. Mas
low said He added:
"a school board does not i'm
munize itself against judicial chal-
lenge merely by adopting a neigh
borhood school policy. Such a
policy is not sacrosanct. AS Judge
Kaufman declared, the concept of
the neighborhood school cannot be
used as an instrument to confine
Negroes within an area artificial
ly delineated in the first instance
by official acts"
