In a 10 page opinion Judge Lewis
asked himself "Can the public
schools, heretofore maintained in
Prince Edward county, be closed
in order to avoid racial discrimi
nation prohibited by the l4th
amendment"
To State Court
His answer to the question was
that "since the final answer to
that question requires the inter
probation of perhaps several sec
tons of the Virginia constitution
and statutes adopted pursuant
thereto. federal abstinence is the
proper procedure
Judge Lewis also holds that
since counsel have indicated that
a state court proceeding will be
instituted to test that question he
prefers a routing Of the question
until the Supreme Court of APP
,eals of Virginia renders its de
cision. provided that that suit be
filed within 60 days.
Judge Lewis then holds that the
adoption Of county aid to educa-
ton grants and of tax credit for
contributions and the payment of
state scholarships while public
schools in the county are closed
is circumvention or attempted
circumvention Of the order Of the
court.

full when used to accomplish an

segregated schooling in Prince

said in his opinion.
He said he will enter an order
enjoining the supervisors and the
county treasurer from paying out
any money authorized by those
ordinances during such time as
the public schools of Prince Ed

Here, he was referring to the
ordinances providing scholarships
for private schools and the tax
credit law.
Judge Lewis holds further that
under the state law state scholar
ship grants are not available to
persons residing in counties that
have abandoned public schools.
He says he will enter an order

Soviet's Explanations
Fail to Quiet Fears

in the same sense that Stain
was and that one group of ad-
viserS or another has real pow
er in influencing his decisions.
Others no less astute hold that
Premier Khrushchev himself is
torn between two conflicting
sides of his own personality.
On the one hand there is a
genuine desire to play the part
of a man of good will, confident
Of his mission and Of his own
ability to solve the problems
that confront him. On the other
hand, he is a leader with a
dizzy sense of power at his
command, worried that he may
not be exploiting it as fully as
he should in order to gain his
objectiveS as rapidly as possible.
Whichever theory may be
correct, there are two clearly
contradictory trends in Soviet
policy which have been at war
with each other since the be-
ginning of Mr.. KhruShchev's
regime. The fact that a more
ominouS trend is now in the
ascendency is not particularly
surprising to students Of the
Russian character. Russians,
they say, are people used to
adversely. They react very bold
ly to success and Mr.. Khru-
shchev at this point is feeling
dangerously successful.
Such attempts to explain
Russian behavior, however,
have done little to relieve the
feeling of pesSimiSm and alarm
that has run through most of
the discussion here in Belgrade.
The neutral leaders gathered
here in the hope of asserting
themselves, along with the
great powers, as a real and CO.
herent force in world affairs.
Many of them left oppressed
with a sense of helpless
ness and their own collective
inability to change or even
seriously affect the dangerous
course of events.
Messages being dispatched to
President Kennedy and Premier
Khrushchev represent the most
that this conference was able to
produce in the cause of world
peace. And they also represent
a tacit recognition of the fact
that the fate of the world today
lies in Washington and Mos
COW, rather than Belgrade.

in a statement that said:
I'm view of the continued

ment, I have today ordered

I'm our efforts to achieve
an end to nuclear testing, we

ties of the United States
Government to its own citizens

free nations.

ment to end all fallout tests re-
mains open until September 8. >,
The President waited nearly
a week after the Soviet govern
ment announced last "Wednesday
that it was resuming testing
before ordering new American
tests. The delay served to drive
home to world public opinion
that it was the Soviet action
which ended hopes of banning
all nuclear tests.

emulation of three Soviet
tests within five days prompt
ed the Presidents decision tc
go ahead with testing of new
American weapons, long urged
by many military and atomic
experts in and out Of Govern
ment. =
The tests over Central Asia
made it apparent, Mr.. Salinger
said, that "the Soviet govern
ment is not interested in pro-
tecting mankind from fallout. "

shall Tito.
Other eminent Western
Kremlinologists here share this
sense of bafflement. So far as
they can see, there is a COM
plete lack of conference be-
tween this decision and the
general line of foreign policy
which Russia has followed over
the last few years. The fact
that the Russian decision has
been opposed by Communist
parties in Denmark and the
United States is an indication
of the abruptneSS with which
it was taken.
So far as the immediate
crisis is concerned, the impli-
cations are ominous. To some
it is evidence of division and
vacillation among the top Rus
sian leadership in which advo-
Yates Of an about tough line
have now won out. To say the
very least, it is a move which
seems wholly out of accord
with the desire for negotia-
tons with the Western powers
over Berlin or anything else.
Some experts here believe
that Mr.. Khrushchev today is
under pressure similar to that
to which he was subjected at
the time of the U-2 spy-plane
incident which forces him to
act against his own instincts
and desires.

New Action Hinted
Mr.. Mcnamara limited that
some further action may yet be
taken. He said he read the rec
ord of the case during the week
end and found it contained new
information which he was refer
ring to his general counsel.
Last June, the Army had ap-
parently closed the case by pub
licly admoniShing Gen. Walker.
1t also Cancelled his previously
announced assignment to COM
mand the;8th Corps with head
quarters in Austin, Tex. Gen.
Walker was relieved of COM
mand Of the oath Division and
shifted to a staff post at Army
European headquarters.
Mr.. Mcnamara said Gen.
Brown found too, that Gen.
Walker made ''inflammatory
and derogatory" public state
lments about Mr.. Truman, for
mer Secretary of State Dean
Acheson and Mrs. Eleanor
Roosevelt.
Gen. Brown held that Gen.
Walker had called Mr.. Truman,
Mr.. Acheson and Mrs. Roose-.
welt "leftist-influenced or orr
ented."
Sees Biased Material
The corps commander also
ruled that unauthorized mate
rails which were biased, in
flammatory and non factual
were included in the list of
recommended reading in the
indoctrination program for
Gen. Walkers troops.
His findings cited THE Life
of John Birch" and THE Pen
tagon Case"
/ The nationalistic, anti-Com-
muniSt Birch Society takes it's
name from Birch, an American
who was killed by Chinese
Communists.
AS Mr.. Mcnamara started to
read from Gen. Browns find
ingS, Senator Russell asked if
the document was classified.
This particular document is
classified confidential but I'll
declassify it right now" Mr..
Mcnamara said. "Overclassifi-
cation is sometimes our prob
lem"
When Senator Byrd urged
that the complete record of the
case be made public, Mr.. Nc
Namara said, Il believe that's
a reasonable request"
However, Mr.. Mcnamara said
he would want the documents
to be given a quick security re-
view first. He said they might
be made available in a matter
Of hours"
The Senate Caucus Room
where Mr.. Mcnamara testified
was filled to overlooking with
spectators, mostly women and
many Of them wearing badges
urging an investigation.
The Defense Secretary said
in an opening statement that
the threat of communism is
clear and immediate. Our
fighting men should know the
positive values of the freedoms
which the Nation is calling on
them to defend and the nature
of Soviet communism which
seeks to take them away"
He said the Pentagon has a
vigorous program" of indoc-
trinating Servicemen for the
fight against communism, land |

For the success of that pro-
gram, Mr.. Mcnamara said, it
is necessary that I'VE abstain

politics and from attempting to
make national policy. That is
not the role of the Defense De-
partment and under our consti-
