The successful Prince Edward

during 1862.

which included an extra 1878 for

Blood Program
The Red Cross chapter. acting
with the endorsement of the
Medical Staff of Southside COM
munity Hospital, has advanced
plans to initiate a blood program
now that the funds are assured.
It would make the county and
Southside Hospital partners with
the Red Cross blood center at
Roanoke, and make patients eli

tribute much of the success to
the greater percentage of people

Those who have directed the
drives have indicated many
times in the past that the key to
Chest success must lie with a
broad participation of citizens.
That was accomplished to a
greater extent this year than
formerly with results now we'll

The Community Chest here
was launched in 1947 when the
first appeal for $4,000 to serve
eight participating agencies was
successfully led by Col. D. w.
Paulette.
Until this year. the Chest rec
ord was seven campaigns failing
to meet the goal and six sue

evened the record, and ended
two successive years of agency

cent of their asking.

Sc ool Progress Report
Goes To Judge This Week
School Board Move
Termed Routine
Follow-Up OF Order
BY BEN BOWERS


A progress report on steps
taken by the Prince Edward
school board to desegregate
the countys public elementary
schools will be made to Federal
District Judge Oren R. Lewis by
Wednesday.
The move by the school board,
a development prompted by
prodding from Judge Lewis in an
August opinion on the long-stand-
ing case. is termed a routine"
report in compliance with direc-
tons Of the court, according to
T. j. McIlWaine, division super
intendent.
The federal judge, when he
gave 19-page opinion outlawing
direct or indirect support of pri-
vate schools in Prince Edward
by public funds as long as the
public schools are closed, said he
would enter an order to that eff
feet. To date that order has not
been entered, but it is expected
this week.
Report Asked
Judge Lewis in the same
opinion said that the school
board must proceed to make
plans for admitting students to
elementary schools without re-
gard to race so that the plans
may be available if and when
public schools are opened. He
ordered that the court be advised
of progress being made by the
school board on or before No.
Vember Is.
The call for the report on prog
ress toward desegregation of ele-
mentary schools stems from a
1859 federal court opinion. When
the U. S. 4th Circuit Court of
Appeals on May S. 1859 reversed
an order of District Judge Ster-
ling Hutcheson, now retired)
which had given the county until
1865 to desegregate its schools, it
said Hutchinson should enter an
order directing the county school
board to take immediate steps to
admit qualified Negroes to the
white high school beginning Sep
TENDER. 1859, and make an early
start toward ending elementary
school segregation.
Progress Not Charted
In the July federal district
court hearing on closed schools
this year. Judge Lewis asked the
school board what steps had
been taken toward the desegre-
cation of elementary schools.
The Boards reply was that no
steps had been taken, they APP
pearing unnecessary since the
public schools are closed.
A report will go to Judge
Lewis. Exactly what will go into
that report is not available from
the school board office since the
boards attorney, Collins Denny.
Jr., is preparing it. The office
has supplied Denny with the re-
suits of the recently completed
desegregation survey, and will
provide him with a summary of
the school census.
The survey report, based on re-
plies from 80 per cent OF the
400 families receiving question
naires, clearly show that if pub
lie schools are reopened they will

LOS ANGELES, July Il
CAP) The pilot of a United

collision with two Navy jets

Capt. Howard Hunter of Los

He said he veered sharply to

The FAA said the Navy jets
apparently were about 2 miles
from the big plane, which was
travelling about 500 miles an
hour.

AECProject,
Cut in House,
Stirs Senate
BY ROBERT X. WALSH
Star Staff Writer

The public VS.. private power
issue took on full steam in the
Senate today because of House
refusal to let the Atomic En-
ergy Commission use a reactor
project to generate electric
energy as well as produce
plutonium. -
This boiled up as the House
passed a $470 million measure
late yesterday authorizing Acc
appropriations of $131, ,440 ,OOO
in new construction projects
for the fiscal year which began
July l and about 1898 million
in carry-over authorizations.
Seek Debate Today
Senate leaders hoped to
sped action on the authorize
tion bill by starting debate this
afternoon. The main battle
centered on Democratic drive
to save the sos million reactor
item which the House struck
out in a 176-140 vote.
The House vote by tellers
did not officially record an
dividual voting. Gallery observ-
ers saw only seven or eight
Republicans, including five
from the State of Washington
join with Democrats against
the item.
Hit by G. o. p.
The House Republican Policy
Committee earlier this week
attacked the proposed expan-
sion of the Hanford Wash. }
reactor installation. Most Re-
publican members voted yes
terday to eliminate it from the
bill. They had the help of many
Democrats from Southern
States and from coal-producing
States such as PENNSYLVANIA
and West Virginia.
The overall bill then was
adopted on a voice vote and
sent to the Senate. Representa-
! tive Holifield, Democrat of
California, chairman of the
Joint Congressional Committee
on Atomic Energy, did not re-
quest a separate roll call in an
attempt to reverse the teller
vote striking out the sos
million.
He said he hoped the project
would be restored by the Sen
ate and eventually salvaged in
a HouSe-Senate conference bill.
Some other advocates said,
however, that it faces an up
hill fight in the Senate because
of the unexpected strength of
the House setback.
Verbal Battle Flares
Before the bill came up in
the House yesterday it had at
tracted only regional or rou-
tine public attention and
seemed to arouse comparatively
little open political controversy.
But the proposed additional
authorization for electric gen.
Grating equipment at the Han
ford installation stirred up
vigorous behind the scenes
battling and lobbying on both
sides. sfc
This broke out into one of
the bitterest debates heard in
the House this year. Opponents
complained that use of heat
from the Hanford reactor to
produce electric energy, which
then would be sold by the Gov
ernment, would put the Acc
into the business of producing
power, along with the Tennes-
see Valley Authority, in compe-
tition with private companies
They contended this raised
a major question of national
policy and would not aid ma
tional defense or economic
stability.
Some also charged that 1t
