In a unanimous opinion by
Chief Justice John w. Eggle-
ston, the Court said:
1T is not our function here
to say whether the action OF
the Board of Supervisors OF
Prince Edward County in re-
fusing to make these appropria-
tions is proper, wise, or desir-
able. Our duty is merely tC
determine whether it may be
compelled to do so by a writ
Of mandamus. In our view II
may not be so compelled"
The court said the issue OF
whether Virginia, under its con-
stitution, is required to main
tain public schools everywhere
was not present in this case.
Directed to Assembly
Whatever may be the duty
imposed under section 1873 OF
the constitution" the Court
said, that section is plainly
directed to the General As
sembly and not to the local
governing bodies. 1t says, The
General Assembly shall estab-
fish and maintain an efficient
system of public free schools
throughout the State
Hence, we are not con-
cerned in the present proceed

single plane crash, that Of a
United States Air Force Globe
master in Japan in 1858, has
taken a bigger toll-129. Two
collisions of planes in the
United States took 1874 and 1873
lives.
Witnesses said the four-en-
CINE DC-7C seemed to make a
normal takeoff for Europe in
a light rain last night, then
suddenly plummeted into a
swamp less than two miles
from the airport at Douala,
largest city in the West African
republic of CAMERON.
The flight originated in the
Portuguese East African colony
of Mozambique. Its destination
was Luxembourg.
Three Children Aboard
The plane exploded on i'm
pact and burned fiercely.
The plane carried 101 pas
sengers-among them three
children-en route from South
Africa, Rhodesia and Mozam-
bique to Europe. 1t had a crew
of 10, including three hostesses.
The passengers included AZ
Britons, many of them living in
RhodeSia, 40 South Africans,
and a sprinkling of Dutch, Ger
mans, Danes, Australians, Irish
and Italian. The nationality
of three passengers was not
known, but the airline said it
knew of no Americans aboard.
Rescue efforts during the
night were hampered by dark
ness and the swampy terrain.
The worst previous crash in
Africa was that Of an Air
France Super Constellation in
which 70 were killed in the Sa-
hara on May 10, 1861.
Leased by New Line
The propeller-driven plane
was one of two DC-7C's leased
from Sabena, the Belgian air.
line, by Caledonian Anyways of
PreStwick, Scotland, which has
only been in operation since
last December. Another British
outfit, Trans-African Air Coach
Ltd, had chartered the plane.
The passengers, in addition
to the three children, included
SO men ard IS women.
Caledonian'S managing di-
rector, john Delahaye. said in
London that the planes pilot,
Capt. Bill Williams, had 1000
hours of flying experience, in
Guiding a stint in the British
navy's fleet air arm.
Officials of the Caledonian
and Trans-African companies
were en- route to Douala to in
veStigate the crash.
The Cameroons, captured
from Germany in World War I,
were divided between the
French in the south and the
British in the north. Douala
is the largest city in the south
ern territory, which won in
dependence from France in
1860.

Authorities said the first
quick study of the note indi-
Gated Mr.. Gromyko also will
be ready to attend a prelim-
mary session with Secretary Of
State Rusk and British Foreign
Secretary Lord Home, as the
Western governments had pro-
posed.
The White House confirmed
today that President Kennedy
has received the message.
1t also was learned that Mr..
KhruShchev denounced Mr..
Kennedy's announcement that
the United States would resume
nuclear testing in the atmos-
phere unless the world powers
complete a test ban treaty be-
fore the end of April.
Message Carefully Studied
There was no immediate COM
ment from the White House on
Mr.. Khrushchev's latest move
in a continuing exchange be-
tween Moscow and London and
Washington. None was expected
until the message is carefully
studied.
From what is known Of the
message, it remains unclear
whether Mr.. Khrushchev him
self intends to go to Geneva
early in the conference which
begins March IA. The Soviet
Premier had advocated a sum-
nit gathering of the 10 heads
of state whose countries will be
represented at Geneva.

television interview C"Meet the
PreSs"-NBC) last night that
the United States now wants
an even tighter inspection sys-
tenn than it would have been
willing to accept last year prior
to Russia's nuclear test series
which began in September after
months of secret preparations
He said the West would not
be prepared to take Mr.. Khru-
shchev's word that Russia
would not test again.
NucIear Ban UppermOst
The United States-British-
Soviet meeting of foreign min
listers in advance of the general
arms talks would deal pri-
marily with the nuclear test
ban problem. For the past three
years, negotiations on that par
ticular issue were conducted
by the three powers at Geneva
until they broke down early
this year in the wake of the
surprise Soviet test series.
Authorities said the note
from Moscow put an end to the
uncertainty which has troubled
United States officials over the
level at which the disarmament
talks would start.
Mr.. KhruShchev had insisted
since mid-February that the
talks must begin with a sum-
nit conference.
Self-InspectiOn Opposed
Mr.. Kennedy and British
Prime Minister Macmillan said
they would be prepared to go
to a summit meeting at a later
stage if progress in the talks
warranted that, but they argued
a top-level beginning of dis
armament negotiations would
do more harm than good by
tending to freeze national po-
Sitions on the whole range of
disarmament issues.
In his teleyiSiOn apDearance
Mr.. Foster made clear that the
West would continue to oppose
the system of self-inspection
urged by Russia. However, he
said the West is ready to dis
cuss some adjustment" in in
ternational or bilateral inspec-
tionS.

Labor Rift CLOSING
bookstores oniqht
Most Major
Chains Here
Affected

All stores Of six major area
grocery chains will close tonight
because of a meat cutters strike
against the Giant Food Stores,
a spokesman for the Food En-
ployers Labor Relations Assocj-
alton said today.
The decision was reached at
a meeting at the Willard Hotel
this afternoon, a few hours
after Meat Cutters Local 1893
shut down most of the 48 Giant
stores.
Frank J. Sheehan, president
of the association said most of
the stores would remain open
until 9 o'clock tonight to give
customers a chance to stock up.
Major Stores Included
Chains that will close their
doors tomorrow are Safeway,
Grand Union, APP, Acme and
Food Lane in addition to Giant.
They represent rs per cent of
the areas retail food business.
Mr.. Sheehan said the asso-
citation regarded a "cooncen-
trated refusal to work" by
members of Local 400 of the
Retail Clerks Union, who are
honoring the Meat Cutters
picket lines, as a strike against
all members of the association.
At the same time, Mr.. Shee-
han said the association was
rejecting a request by two
unions for a 15-day extension
to negotiate a contract. The
unions, Meat Cutters Local
555 and the retail clerks, made
the offer after turning down
contracts similar to that on
which Local 1893 struck.
Agrees to Negotiate
Mr.. Sheehan said the request
could be construed only as an
attempt to split the solidarity
and destroy the integrity of the
employers group. However, the
association agreed to continue
negotiations at any time.
A spokesman for Giant said
some stores managed to operate
today but that the picture was
"spotty." One remaining open
was the Super Giant Discount
Center in Lanham, Md.
PlcketS were present at most
stores to win the support of
union clerks. Some clerks went
to work when pickets failed to
reach the stores before they
opened for business.
Federal Mediator James A.
Holden, hoping for a quick re-
sumption of negotiations, met
this morning with both groups,
and scheduled a joint meeting
later at the Willard Hotel.
Represents 600 Members =
The striking local, represent
ing 600 members working for

Both the meat cutters locals
turned down a three-year con-
tract that would have supplied
wage increases of S per cent the
first year. 4 per cent the Sec

third year. One of the union
objections was to the length
of the contract.

These railroads, he states, are two

SHARP CUTBACK
FOR MISSOULA

Livingston, however, isn't the only
major rail center which would be
hit hard by the proposed merger.
Rail officials concede the likelihood
of a 109-man reduction at Missoula
for an annual payroll loss of $780,
492. Rail unionists Roger Murray
and Frank Caron, of the Missoula
Anti Merger Committee. contend the
annual payroll loss will be approx
mately 1,4OO,OOO-or a job loss
of $50 instead of 100.
In Helena, there is great concern
among rail workers. According to
Robert Thuerer, an MP locomotive
engineer, and chairman of the Capt.
tai City committee against the merg-
er. consolidation could result in a
payroll loss of approximately a half
million dollars year or job loss
of about 80, instead of NP's claimed
$3.50 job reduction for an annual |
payroll loss of 1921, 500.
In Great Falls, rail employees are
greatly concerned over a drastic re-
duction or termination of service
