Commissioner Downey Defends Men In Charge of States Highway Program

lips that the error which ultimate ly resulted in the supplemental appropriation request originated in the Highways Division, how- ever.
 Downing said he could find no fault with Sherard's overall engi- neering ability, .'but I do think he needs some work in overall ad- ministration.
 In response to question from Sen. Brad Phillips, Downing said his office had been given some erroneous dates by the Division of Highways in connection with project starting times.
 This is the reason Gov. Wm. Egan advanced on Jan. 26 in con- firming news reports that he had asked for Sherard's resignation at the conclusion of the Senate highways probe.
 Tt was source of irritation" Downing said, "but I didn't take it to heart because I knew the dates were only estimates"
 Downing described the Public Works Departments relations with the Bureau of Public Roads as good.

JUNEAU Hg Public Works Commissioner Richard Downing Monday night described the men in charge of the states highway program as capable as any men available to us at the time they were hired"
 Testifying at the opening session of a special Senate highways in- vestigation, Downing said he has been satisfied with the overall performance of state highways chief Thurman Sherard.
 Downing extended this remark to include Al Gardner, assistant state highway engineer for opera tions; deputy commissioner Law renee Wilson; Don Roser, assistant state highway engineer for admin istration, and Al Baca, state right of way section chief.
 A standing room only crowd of some 250 persons had shouldered their way into the Superior Court room on the fifth floor of the Capitol Bldg by the time Down. ing started testifying at ? pm.
 Judging from the action, the investigation will be a prolonged affair, lasting far beyond the hoped-for cutoff date of Feb. Is.
 Members of the committee, through their questioning. took Downing on a disjointed trip through the operations of the Di- vision of Highways and it's parent department, Downing's agency.

C.Orllsnie Students Break Up Tokyo Speech by Bobby
By Conrad Fink


 TOKYO dF7 - Thousands of students at Tokyo's Wasada Uni versity gave Robert F. Kennedy
 roaring, cheering welcome Tues- day, but shouting, jeering leftists broke up speech by the US. At torney General. It was the first hostility Kennedy has met on his visit to Japan.
 It was estimated that hecklers totaled fewer than 100. Kennedy and his wife, Ethel, stood calmly on the university stage despite the pandemonium, then left the auditorium building
 through rear door. Mrs. Ken-
 nedy was hit in the stomach by
 gesticulating cheer leader trying to drown out the hecklers,
 but she quickly recovered her composure.
 s'I think the vast majority of the students were friendly" the Presidents brother said later ''I'm just sorry we didn't get more of a chance to exchange ideas. I'd like to go back"
 Thousands of students swarmed about Kennedy's car as he drove into the university grounds to cheers of Kennedy Kennedy! and cries of shake my hand"
 The American visitor was liter- ally carried up the steps of the building. Police and university security officials finally managed to get the disheveled Kennedy in side, but he turned and waved out the door, shouting thank you!" A thunderous cheer went up from the students
 The auditorium was packed with about 5000 students, As Kennedy waited to begin his speech, dis turbance broke out in the iron,
 rows and several youths tried ts
 climb on the stage. Small knot. l lof strategica1ly located youn, l people set up cries of sKenned, 1 go home. Kennedy off the plat! ] form. Cuba. Oiinawa.D
 1 Most of the students kept quiet and the Attorney General plunged resolutely into his speech, review. ing his brothers policies. When
 he said he would discuss the sre- responsibilities of living in a demo cratic nation" strong applause broke out, but jeering, shouting students in the. rear of the hall drowned out the rest of his re- marks.
 The Zengalxuren Leftistg stu dents group said representatives from 30 of its chapters were al the university to ask questions of Kennedy and present petitions, The zengalsuren organization led the 1860 riots that resulted in cancellation of President Dwight Eisenhower's visit to Japan, AInbassador Edwin o. Rei- schauer said he thought the in
 cident would 'hackfire on the agi- tators.

school structures, the Governor
said.
Prince Edward County's
governing body decided last
Friday to keep the public
schools closed for a fourth con-
secutive year rather than have
them integrated. The board
first closed the schools in 1859
after Federal courts ordered
that they must be deSegregated.
Prince Edward was one of the
five localities involved in the
United States Supreme Courts
1854 school deSegregation
decision.
The county's white children
have been attending a system
of private segregated schools
which in the past had been fl
nanced in large part by State
and local tuition grants. A
Federal court pending final
ruling in the case has issued an
Injunction forbidding use of
the tuition grants so long as
the public schools remain
closed.
Since the closure Of public
schools. the county's approx
mately LOO Negro Sabotage
children have been without
formal education.

Falls Church
May Reject
School Study

Falls Church School Board
Chairman ]. Roger Wollenberg
told the board last night that
he would favor rejection by the
city council of a Taxpayers
League proposal to include a
survey of the schools "effi-
cheney and effectiveness" in a
city economic study.
The Taxpayers League asked
the council last month to re-
quest the State Board of Edu-
cation to conduct such a survey.
Although action on the pro-
posal was deferred, Mr.. VOL
lenberg said there was mo
discernible need for such a
study" He said that the great
est deterrent to the schools
efficiency was a delay in school
expansion caused by the Tax
payers League suit against a
.$1.2 million bond issue. The
bond issue, which included
$875,000 for school construc-
ton, was upheld by the State
Supreme Court last week after
being in litigation for 18
months.
In other business, the board
scheduled its annual organiza-
ton meeting for July 2. A new
chairman and vice chairman
will be selected.
The board also approved a
81 increase in the SIG daily pay
of substitute teachers.

er. The new arrangement gives
urban areas greater represen-
tation. Action on a permanent
reapportionment plan will be
taken later.
High Court Ruling
In another development today,
attorneys for the Maryland
Committee for Fair Represen-
tation submitted more reasons
for invalidating the section of
the State constitution pertain
ing to the apportionment of the
Senate.
The committee, in a memo
randum to Judge o. Bowie
Duckett in Anne Arundel
Circuit Court, stated that the
recent action of the Supreme
Court on the Georgia unit rule
is another persuasive indica-
ton Of what the ultimate result
will be when the closely related
question of legislative mall
apportionment is presented" to
the high court.
A three judge Federal court
invalidated Georgia's unit rule
system of voting which was
used in that States primary
elections. The court issued an
injunction enjoining election
officials from applying the unit
system in the 1862 Georgia
primary elections.
Agreed to Review
On Monday, the Supreme
Court agreed to review the de-
ciSion. But the high court re-
fused either to advance the ap-
peal and grant an immediate
hearing or to grant a stay of
the injunction.
The Fair Representation
Committee said that this means
the primary elections to be held
in Georgia for the first time
this fall will be conducted on a
popular vote basis.
Judge Duckett heard ga
hours of arguments on the
makeup of the State Senate
last Thursday and currently
has the issue under advisement.
