But we still strongly indorse
the parkway, and I feel we
should appeal to future Con-

I'VE believe it is necessary

Maryland and Virginia sides Of
the Potomac, and see no reason

dropped in Prince Georges.

Road dPIunning AssoiIed
At Hearing in Foirfox

Fairfax County's legal right
to, map future road construction
through developed residential
areas was challenged last night
alta master plan public hearing
before the Fairfax County
Planning Commission.
The commission, holding its
first formal session on the last
phase of the county's six-part
master plan deferred making
its required recommendation to
the Fairfax County Board of
Supervisors pending further
study.
A. master plan for highways
has been under consideration
since 1854. Four major super
highways had originally been
proposed in the latest plan.
One, the Smile long Pimmit
expressway has already been
recommended for deletion from
the master plan, while two
others met protests at last
nights meeting attended by
nearly 200 persons.
Belt Route Discussed
The fourth and longest fu-
ture road, the Outer Belt Cir
cumferential highway, met the
least resistance. Its 40-mile
route would touch established
residential property only in the
Mason's Neck area. Planning
staff members last night as
sured residents of that area
that sufficient leeway existed
to allow rerouting.

The shoreline area consists OF

The strongest objections were
lodged against the proposed
Potomac freeway, which would
roughly parallel existing Route
and Shirley highway; and
the Monticello freeway, which
would enter Western Fairfax
County near Manassas and join
Arlington County by means of
an extended Braddock road.
Sunset Manor Hostile
c. R. Snowden, president of
the Sunset Manor Citizens As
sociation told the planning
commission his group was 100
per cent opposed" to the high
way proposals.
"You fiddled while Rome
burned and now you want us
to pay the fiddler" Mr.. Snow
den commented.
The basic legal issue involv-
ing road master planning was
raised by Attorney John T.
Hazel. He represented maga-
zine editor Michael Straight,
whose property lies in the path
of the Monticello freeway.
He argued that marking a
proposed road on an official
master plan would Immediately
put the land in jeopardy and
would cloud the future financ-
ing of any home along the
route.
II can foresee lending insti-
tutions putting a ban on prop

right-of-way of a future high

Prince Edwards Use
Of Grants Questioned

RICHMOND, July 20 (AP).-
Arguments in a suit aimed at
recpening Prince Edward
County's public schools have
ended with the presiding Judge
expressing doubt that the
county is applying Virginia's
tuition grants laws in a valid
way.
Under the States freedom
Of choice" school program-of
which the tuition grants are a
keystone-there must be an
opportunity to choose between
schools, United States Judge
Oren r. Lewis said yesterday.
In Prince Edward County the
public schools were closed two
years ago in a racial dispute
and the only schools now in
the county are a system of
private white schools.
Injunction Requested
Judge Lewis expressed skep-
ticism whether public tuition
grants for white and Negro
children afforded Negroes a
choice between public and pri-
vate education. since the private
schools were the only ones in
operation.
Judge Lewis remarks came
in closing arguments of 31a
days of testimony on a request
by Negro plaintiffs to enjoin
the county from refusing to
operate public schools.
The tuition grants under at.
tack in the suit are a major
part of the income of the pri-
vate schools operated by the
Prince Edward School Founda-
tion.
An order prohibiting thu
award of grants to parents ot
children attending the privatt
schools would be a serious fl
nancial blow to the Foundation

During the closing arguments
by the School Board Attorney,
Collins Denny, jr., Judge Lewis
interjected the comment that
he thought the private schools
of the Foundation were for
white children only.
Might Accept Application
You can assume now" he
said, that I have reached the
conclusion that the schools
were created solely and exclu-
sively for white children. =.
They (Negroes) could have
asked on their bended knees
and they wouldn't have gotten
in there"
MIR. Denny contended that
didn't mean the Foundation
might not accept applications
from Negroes now. Judge Lewis
said, "It certainly would not
have (accepted them last year.
What they might do next year.
I don't know"
Judge Lewis said an unre-
solved question in the suit was
whether the county is "wilfully
doing things by an oStensibly
legislative proceeding to thwart
the intent and purpose" of the
Supreme Court school desegre-
cation decision.
THE question that bothers
me is how far they can go" !"
he told Mr.. Denny. "I find no
fault with Prince Edward or
anyone else by resisting what
they consider actions against
their lawful rights. But there
comes a time when you've got
to accept court decisions
whether you like them or not.
Judge Lewis said he hopes to
have a decision by the Sep
tember school term and per-
haps by mid-August.

For Senate Contest

BALTIMORE, July % (AP).
Reports indicate Gov. Tawes
will seek denomination in the
Democratic primary next year
at the head Of a ticket includ-
ing Representative Daniel
Brewster for United States
Senator.
Other running mates on the
Tawes ticket would be Attorney
General Thomas B. Finan and
Controller Louis L. Goldstein,
both seeking denomination.
This proposed slate repeatedly
was filled when Mr.. Brewster
accepted a firm commitment of
all-out support for the sena-
torial nomination at a top-level
meeting Of administration Dem
ocrats.
Urged for Governor
Mr.. Brewster had been under
pressure from some of the
party's young leaders to run for
the gubernatorial nomination at
the head of a New Era" ticket.
This proposed slate included
Delegate Blair Lee III, Demo-
crat of Montgomery, for United
States Senator; Senator Harry
r. Hughes, Democrat of Caro-
line, for attorney general, and
James j. Lacy, president Of the
Baltimore Fire Board, for
controller.
Mr.. Brewster's acceptance
was reported to include these
reasons:

be a United States Senator
than Governor.
