year when the matter is taken
up for consideration again"
Although emphasizing oppo-
Sition to all public assistance
to private schools, Mr.. Kaul
asserted that the present pro-
gram grossly discriminates"
against many Catholics by
forcing them simultaneously to
contribute to the support of
public schools, private non
sectarian schools and parochial
schools.
The board then voted, three
to one, with Mr.. Kaul dis
senting, to add $4,000 to the
county's tuition grant fund.
The supplemental appropria-
ton was sought because grants
requested already have exceed
ed the $4,000 the board Or
iginally allotted for the cur

3 Held After Escopino
Virqinio Juvenile Home

Three youths who escaped
from the Northern Virginia Ju-
venile Detention center in AL
exandria after they overpow-
cred a supervisor were caught
less than four hours later by
Alexandria police.
The three youths, aged IS,
16 and II, overpowered the su-
pervisor, Gerald E. Anderson,
q, of 3140 Seventeenth street
NV, took his keys, locked him
in a bedroom and used a mas
ter key to escape, police said.
The center is located on Lin
colnia road, south Of Duke

They were caught when De-
tective Roy Fitzsimmons and
Sergt. Robert Harlow spotted

no charm for me-"
The letter, dated January 90,
1861, will appear in the next
issue of the Virginia Historical
Society's publication, Virginia
Magazine of History and Biog-
raphy. The magazines editor,
William M. E. Rachal, said the
entire letter has never before
been known to scholars.
The Rev. j. William Jones, a
Reconstruction historian who
was given access to family
papers for his biography of Lee,
copied a portion Of the letter,
Mr.. Rachal said. The entire
letter remained hidden, how
ever, in a large collection of
Lee family papers until the
family recently began turning
them over to the society.
Lee, in his letter, showed
apprehension over the ap-
proach of the Civil War and
said:
II can anticipate no greater
calamity for the country than
a dissolution of the Union.
1T would be an accumula-
ton of all the evils we COM
plain of and I am willing to
sacrifice everything but honor
for its preservation. =.
Lees concern over the poSsi-
bility that Virginia would Sc
cede also had it's financial side.
He discussed in his letter the
settlement of the estate of his
father-in-law, George Wash
ington Parke Gusts, and said
he was at a loss on how to in
vest the funds.
las I wrote you, I had in
tended to purchase Virginia
bonds" Lee said.
"As far as I can now Judge,
I have strong apprehensions
that Virginia will secede as it
Is fashionably termed. In which
case she will have largely to
increase her debt, now large,
which will depreciate her bonds
very much. and possibly render
them valueleSS.

StoreBoycott

LYNCHBURG, Va, Mar. II
(SpeciaD "A mass meeting of
Negroes voted last night to call
off a planned boycott of down.
town stores for so days SO that
an interracial committee could
work with the stores toward
deSegregation Of hiring policies.
About 900 Negroes met in the
Court Street Baptist Church
and voted for the respite after
it was announced that eight
downtown stores had agreed to
hire Negroes.
The Lynchburg Improvement
Association will thus hold UP
all picketing, boycotting and
sit-in activities and may with
hold filing Of a Federal Court
suit pending results Of the in
terracial committees negotia-
tions with store owners.
Suit in Allegiance
The Rev. Virgil A. Wood,
president of the association,
said that the decision on
whether to file the omnibus
suit to force desegregation of
the city's facilities will depend
on what action the City Coun-
Gil takes on a petition that seq
regation in public facilities be
ended.
Three council members said
yesterday that they will seek
to refer the petition to the in
terracial committee for study.
The three said they believed
the answers to the questions
posed in this petition are not
to be found in sit-ins or law
suits" but "at the conference
table,.
The action postponing the
boycott of downtown stores
came at the end of a meeting
during which officers Of the
Improvement Association sup
ported the boycott while leaders
of the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored
People and Negro members of
the interracial committee urged
delay.
Hiring Plan Revealed
The meeting voted unani-
mouSly for holding up the boy
colt, however, after M. w.
Thornhill, jr., a Negro member
of the interracial committee,
Evening star., 1961-03-12

said that eight stores had
agreed to hire Negroes.
DR.. r. Walter johnson, chair
man of the NAACP membership
committee, also asked for the
poStponement because, he said,
the agreement by the stores to
hire Negroes was a major break
through in racial relations in
the state.
Mr.. Wood argued that the
boycott should go forward.
When a Negro is given a job,
he said, the activities could be
called off.
Altogether 18 persons, includ-
ing IA Negros, have been con-
victed Of trespassing here since
Sit-in demonstrations began at
PatterSon'S Drug store last

but reluctantly agreed to con-
tinue paying them.
II don't like to appropriate
the money, but administratively
I think it is the responsible

Leo Urbanske.
Two weeks ago the board
threatened to withhold fur
ther money from the program
through which pupils enrolling
in private non-sectarian classes
can obtain up to $275 in public
funds.
However, Mr.. Urbanske yes

Arlington terminate the op-

pay the grants and deduct the
cost from funds it ordinarily
would send to the county.
The General Assembly es-
tablished the tuition grants
with the intention Of benefit
ing parents who wish to keep
their children out Of integrated
public schools.
In Northern Virginia, how

have been students who al
