preventing the sale or disposition
of the idle public school build
ings.
Judge Lewis indicated this re-
quest would not be granted be-
cause no evidence had been in
troduced that any of the defen-
dants planned any such dispo-
sition of the property.
However, a contention by
Denny that the Prince Edward
School Foundation has never indi-
Gated that it was solely for whites
drew little sympathy from the
Judge.
You can assume that l have
reached the conclusion that the
foundation is for whites, Judge
Lewis said. "They Negroes,
could have asked on their knees
and still they couldn't have got
ten in, >" he added.
Grant Argument
j. Segar Gravatt, attorney for
the supervisors, argued that the
tuition grant program not only
violates no constitutional pro
visions, but also actually protects
constitutional rights OF freedom
Of association.
The blame for the lack of for
NAL education for Negro children
in Prince Edward was placed
squarely Oh those who he said
would not accept the grants Of
fered to them. Gravatt said.
Judge Lewis appeared not con-
WINGED that # fire d o m of
choice" actually exists in Prince
Edward since white priv te
schools are we'll established and
the Negro training centers are in
ferior.
When the schools were closed
every single living human being
was affected exactly the same, I"
Gravatt said.
The white people chose to do
something about it. The Negro,
not only did not do anything. they
refused TO accept the help that
was offered to Them" Gravatt
argued. 1--WE ought not to be
handicapped so we can not do
something for these poor, mis-
guided colored children" Gravatt
added.
Gravatt's remarks obviously
were based on the Negro refusal
to accept grants or other assiS-
lance offered by whites toward
establishing more formal private
schools of their own.
Carriers Argument
Robert l.. Carter, NAACP law
yer, commended in closing argu-
mentS today that the issue is
whether the schools were closed
to circumvent a federal court de-
segregation order. The Negroes
also contended that the private
schools for whites are in reality
public schools which are still
segregated.
Carter said the issue is not
whether Prince Edward has the
right to close public schools as
the state and county have con-
tended, but was a federal issue
which LeWiS's court had authori-
ty to settle.
I'VE think that what the defen-
dants accomplished in this case
was to defeat an order of the
court Carter said.
Attorneys for the state asked
that the State Board of Educa-
ton and the state superintendent
of public instruction be dismissed
as defendants on the ground the

Teacher Impressions
For that reason the teachers
we're not permitted to use their
names in answering q reporters
question on their impressions Of
the children here, etc. But. here
are some Of those impressions.
A teacher and minister from
Williamsburg said he had found
the project a rewarding expert
ence in that the children were
anxious to cooperate and learn.
From northern Virginia was a
teacher who said, "Farmville
appears to be an ideal commun-
ity that has all ramificatl0ns
of harmonious living regardless
Of race were it not for the
school situation. I have found
nothing but harmony here, SAID
the man who has taught in col
lege for six years.
The same teacher said he had
been surprized to find that the
children were not in Keeping
with his concept of children who
attended rurals schools in that
they showed a superior drive.
Il know they are somewhat mo
tivated because they have been
out of school for two years.
he noted. His wife also served
as an instructor for the project.
One teacher, who said he was
native of Amelia but now en-
ployed in the Baltimore. Md,
city school system. stated that
he found a high element Of re-
gresSion among some of the
children.
Praised Parents CenterS
From the TideWater area Of
he state a teacher who worked
with beginners had high praise
for the Negro parents and the
Prince Edward County Christ
ian Association which has operat-
ed training centers for the past
two years. She said, II have
found that the parents and the
centers have done a wonderful
lob. l. have been working with
boys and girls, ages eight to
ten, and haven't had to do too
much work with them"
A woman instructor from the
Eastern shore said she had
found this a land of gracious
living. She stated, THE children
have been well hammered, quite
easily motivated and truly APP
preciative of any effort made
in their behalf
Another teacher from the East
ern shore said, Il have really
been impressed with their des-
lire to learn. If they can come
to school these hot days, then
they want to learn" She cited
the fact that some Of the children
rise early in the morning and
walk two or three miles to a
center. Il think they show forti-
tude and interest that possibly
exceeds that of their elders"
she said.
A minister and public school
teacher from Richmond said he
found the children alert and Gag
er to learn. They have impress
sed me by their lack of hostility
and their innocence of the situa
ton" he said. A principal Of an
elementary school in petersburg
sounded a similar theme. Foru
of five teacher sstressed there
had ben no discipline problems.
White Teacher
Only one white person taught
in the crash program, the Rev.
Edward M. Gregory, curate Of
st. Marks Episcopal Church
and head of the Human Rela-
tions Council in Richmond. Mr..
Gregory, who said he came to
Farmville as Southern white
interested in the development of
human relations. said II am

Engineer Picked
For Christ Role

ROME, June 10 (AP). -
Seven noted and experienced
actors we're screen tested for
the role Of Jesus in Italian pro-
ducer Dino de Laurentis' $40
million film 'Barabbas."
But the part finally went to
a sound engineer working on
the picture, Roy Magano, 20.
Mr.. De Laurentis finally
chose him because Of his phys
ical appearance, and because
the producer thought it would
be better not to use any actor
in the role who had ever been
associated with any other film
part.
Mr.. Mangano, at first didn't
want the role. He said he felt
he lacked acting experience.
But he finally agreed. He is a
brother of Italian film star
Silvano Mangano who plays the
feminine lead in the picture:

Answer: 1t is the teaching OF

Paul and also on the Council
of Trent (1545-63), that the
sacrament of baptism brings
forgiveness of all past sin. This

Instead, the city decided
that each of its witnesses would
bring up separate points to
show common bonds between
the city and the annexation

Senate Vote Shapes Up
On Stream Valleys

Legislation to extend the
Federal program for acquiring
stream valley parks in Prince
Georges and Montgomery
Counties, Md, may win a Sen
ate vote this month.
1t was ordered reported to
the Senate next week along
with six other relatively nom
controversial bills by the Senate
District Committee.
The parklands measure would
amend the Capper-Cramton act
to increase grants from SIS
million to $4.5 million and loans
from So million to SO million.
New in Virginia
Should Congress free some
100000 for Maryland stream
valleys In the pending Interior
budget, previous authority for
Maryland TO receive the money
would be nearly exhausted.
Virginia has just begun to
carry out the stream valley
acquisition project envisioned
by Congress in 1880.
In the light of congressional
unwillingness for two years to
appropriate authorized stream
valley aid, the measure probably
will require debate.
No opposition is in sight for
other local proposals reported,
however. Likely to be cleared
by unanimous consent are bills !:

$29 900 annual expense to pay

where in the Bible I can find
the answer to this problem"
answer: Throughout t h e
Bible in the teachings of the
Judeo- Christian faith, there is
abundant support for the be-
lief that evil is punished by
the. justice of God.
We mortals are free to do
whatever we want to do within
the. limits of physical circum-
stances. On the other hand.
We are never able to escape
the inevitable results of that
which we do.
1t is not that God Furnishes
merely to be vindictive. 1t is,
rather. that the divine moral
law is so ordered that certain
types of behavior bring certain
results.
While it is true that we do
sometimes punish ourselves
through remorse and self-con-
demnation at our evil deeds,
1t is also true that vengeance
belongs not to man but to
God. This is set forth in the
Old Testament in Leviticus
1913, and in Deuteronomy
32::35. The same idea is quoted
again by st. Paul in Romans
1919.
Question: "Who were the
authors of the Gospels accord
ing to Matthew, Mark, Luke
and John? How long after the
death of each disciple was his
gospel written?"
Answer: This seems to be
a self-contradictory question.
The writer assumes that the
gospels were not written by
the persons who bear their
names. ..
There is some difference of
opinion on this. However, it
is generally accepted by most
of the Biblical scholars of our
time that the Gospel of Mark
was, the first to be written
and was in fact, written by
a man named John Marx.
There is some disagreement,
too, about its date, but prob
ably the date was 60-62 AID.
There is almost no doubt
that the gospel of Matthew
and Luke were written by the
men who bore those names.
Furthermore, it is believed that
both Matthew and Luke made
use of Marks narrative as the
basis of their own gospels.
Luke, of course, is believed also
to have been the author of the
Acts of the Apostles.
Undoubtedly there we're other
sources from which Matthew
and Luke were able to draw
information for their Gospels.
The, principal source is one
which is usually called @" or
"quelle" which is a German
word meaning source.
About the fourth Gospel, or
the Gospel of John, there is
more disagreement. Doubt
less it was the latest of the
gospels and was written quite
apart from the other three.
Probably this gospel was not
written all at one time but over
a long period of years.
