locality shall operate purely
local functions"
State and local tuition grants
have covered most of the cost
Of the private school operation
for white children in Prince
Edward where citizens have
been granted tax relief in pro-
portion to their contributions
to private schools.
A tentative move toward re-
establishing public schools for
Negroes was made last month
by the school board with the
submission of three budgets
one covering the entire system,
another for aid to education
(private grants) and another
for sufficient funds to take care
Of the Negro pupils.
School Supt. T. ]. Mcuwaine
said the figures were submitted
on the advice of counsel and
were in the nature of reports
to the county governing body
the board of supervisors. The
supervisors, who have control
over all appropriations. did not
appear ready to reopen any
public schools.
In its motion yesterday, the
Justice Department asked that
county and State officials be
ordered to re-establish the pub
lie school system, and it also
asked that the court bar public
support Of the county's private
schools or any public schools
in the State as long as Prince
Edwards two high schools and
l8 elementary schools remain
closed.
The closing of public schools
to avoid compliance with a de-
segregation decree while schools
elsewhere in the State remain
open is an unlawful obstruction
to the carrying out of such
decree, and the diversion OF
State funds from the closed
schools to privately operated
segregated schools is an un-
lawful circumvention of such
decree" the motion said.

party" in the suits, The Asso-
ciated Press reported.
Delegate Harrison Mann of
Arlington, a strong supporter
of Senator Kennedy in last
years presidential election,
looked upon the latest Govern
ment move as an attempt to
"blackmail" the State into de-
segregating Prince Edward
schools. Desegregation has TAX
en- place in q number of other
Virginia communities.
Mr.. Mann, one Of the leaders
of the "moderates" in the Cen
eral Assembly who helped Gov.
Almond steer the States course
away from massive resistance
to the present freedom of choice
program, declared:
IF the Federal Government
can blackmail a State in this
manner, both the State and
local governments might just
as well turn over all of their
functions to the Federal Gov
ernment. 1 regret very much to
see the Kennedy administration
attempt to establish such a
precedent"
Shock Expressed
Another lawmaker who
worked actively for President
Kennedy's election said he was
so shocked Il better not say
anything for the record at this
time"
Without the use of his name,
however, he said he thought
the Governments request to
shut off all State funds to all
public schools reflected "a dog
in the mapger attitude"
THE administration stepped
in unnecessarily and set us back
just when we were making
progress" the State legislator
said.
Another lawmaker, Alexan-
dria Delegate James NJ. Thom-
son, who was a strong sup
porter of the massive resistance
laws before they were invali-
dated by the courts, and who
opposed the Governors freedom
of choice program last year,
declared of the Governments
move:
This is the type Of test that
we envisioned under the Gov
ernor's program. I'm not sur
prised by this type of attack
except that it took so long in
coming"
Called Drastic Step
Arlington Delegate Kathryn
Stone asserted. 1T has been
obvious for some time that
Federal action would be taken
If the State failed to act to
open the public schools of
Prince Edward County.
1T is certainly not equal
protection of the law to de-
prive children totally of an
education as the Negro chill
dren of that unhappy county
have been deprived for two
years. 1t is a drastic step
brought on by a drastic situa-
ton"
Another strong comment
came from Representative Alb
bitt. Democrat, in whose dis
trict Prince Edward lies.
This is not a question of in
tegration or segregation" Mr..
Abbitt said. ut Is simply a
question of whether the Federal
Government can dictate how a

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I
have heard recently that
there is O non-Slrgical cure
for cataract. Naturally I
am interested because my
eye specialist Zone Of the
best men in the East). has
advised me to have q cataract
operation. The new medicine
Is made from 9 plant and Is
supposed to make the cata-
ract disappear within 2-3
weeks. What do you advise?
Miss s.. Mass.
I KNOW OF NO approved
medical cure for cataract
Operation Is still the method
Of choice. II I were you I'd
take the advice Of your own
eye specialist rather than
depend upon some far
fetched promises by, some
body who offers you an easy
way out Of your dilemma.
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I
have heard that lying on q
board with the head down
is good for the body's general
health. It increases the cir
culation In the scalp, etc. II
the board Is at about q As
degree angle and you lie that
way for q half hour q day.
would there be any harmful
effects? Is this position good
for stimulation Of hair
growth?
As you have probably
guessed. I am more interest
ed in the health Of my scalp
than in anything else. In
other words. I'm getting as
bald as O soup plate.-Mr.
x, Phoenix, Ariz.
A FEW FRIENDS of mine
who practice Yoga are quite
bald. Yet. they have been
standing on their heads at
least one hour q day for
years. One swallow doesn't
make q summer: and one
bald practitioner Of Yoga
doesn't prove that keeping
your head down isn't good
for the scalp.
But my guess Is that you
could lie on that board (head
down. for hours every day
without adding Cor saving)

collection. I think O phi

ter than trying new-fangled
