Widnall for Debate
Mr.. Widnall reminded the
House last night of the
shameful irony" that this Ma
ton speaks of freedom and
democracy all over the world,
yet deprives American citizens
of their right to choose their
own representatives in the
Capital City. He said he was
more determined than ever to
obtain a full-dreSs debate and
vote. For Is years, he has
initiated action for home rule
only to see bills trapped con-
sistently in the House District
Committee.
Anti-home rule House men,
bers were chided by Repre-
sentative Udall, Democrat of
Arizona. They argue for de-
mocracy, local government
close to the people, sanctity OF
elections and self -determina-
ton, he said. But their argu-
ments against home rule mean
that they cant face their own
position and can't face the
truth" according to the fresh
man Congressman. He said
home rule was inevitable.
I'VE should stop wasting our
time on dog leashing and NOR
tuary roofing" Mr.. Udall
added. Let the local people
solve their own problems. They
have very serious problems"

Harrison Rules State Operation
Of Schools Is Illegal in Virginia

RICHMOND, June 20 CAP)
Gov. Harrison said today a
drastic change in Virginia S
tax and school structures would
be involved for the State to
take over school operations in
Prince Edward or any other
county where public education
has been stopped.
The Governor noted that Viz
ginia's constitution provides
that the General Assembly es-
tabliSh and maintain a State
wide system Of public education.
I'VE feel the mandate of
the constitution has been met, "
Gov. Harrison said.
Whether it means a school
system must be operated in
every locality has never been
determined"
A Federal Judge who has
under advisement the 11-year-
old Prince Edward deSegrega-
ton case has said the major
question is whether the State
must maintain public schools in
every locality. Although he has
not handed down a final deci-
sion, the Judge has indicated
that he will direct attorneys
in the case to seek determine
ton on this point in Virginias
Supreme Court.
The school question arose at
Gov. HarriSonS weekly press
conference in the light of posi-
BILE action by Powhatan County
Board of Supervisors to close
public schools should the State
pupil placement board assign
Negro pupils to the county's
consolidated white high school.
Board Meets Today

Representative Widnall, Re-
publican of New Jersey, made
this first move in a tactic
aimed at forcing a floor vote
on the issue of local govern
ment this session.
They did the same thing
in the last Congress-" Mr.,
Smith said. 1T is just a
formality. We won't consider
it and then they will file a
discharge petition"
: Both Democratic and Repub-
lican home rule sponsors took
the House floor last night to
urge their colleagues to sign
a discharge petition should the
Rules Committee fail to honor
the first resolution.
Opponents Are Silent
Home rule opponents re-
manned silent. AS usual, they
are gauging the strength of
their adversaries before decid-
ing whether countermoveS are
necessary.
Previous attempts in the last
decade to wrest a home rule
bill from the District Commit
tee either by persuasion or
petition of a majority of mem
bers have failed. The Senate,
in this time, has passed five
proposals for an elected city
government. Another version
drafted by President Kennedy
for an elected mayor and city
council is expected to clear the
Senate this summer.
The Widnall resolution sets
up the rules for debate on a
bill calling on the President
to name a territorial governor
and the people to elect a seven
member assembly and a nom
voting House delegate.
Debate would be limited to
four hours. The bill would be
open to any amendment. One
motion to recommit the pro-
postal to committee would be
entertained.
Petition Planned
If the House Rules Commit
tee ignores the resolution for
seven days that the House is
in session, home rule propon-
entS plan to put a discharge
petition on the Speakers desk
The petition, If signed by a
majority of members or 219,
would require the Rules Com
mittee to release the first
Widnall resolution.
A successful petition would
force a vote on the Widnall
resolution. If the resolution
carried, the House Immediately
would go into the four-hour
home rule debate sought by Mr..
Widnall.
A possible delay of 80 days
could Illustrate home rule eff
forts if the RueS Committee
acted promptly on the request

would be reached during today's
session.
Gov. Harrison said that I'M
der the constitution both the
localities and State provide
money for the operation of
public schools.
The State has no authority
to levy real estate taxes, the
basis on which localities get
most of their income. he said.
For the State of Virginia to
operate schools as they are now
operated" he said. the State
would have to have available
to it the money that is now
available from both sources"
This. he said, would require
a constitutional amendment.
People who lightly say that
the State should take over and
operate the schools don't real-
ize the extent of the problem. -
he said.
The Governor sadi it is not
within his power or the power
of any other State official Ito
open and operate schools in
Powhatan or other counties
under existing law"

Montgomery Blair's surging
Blazers take on tough North

should be loaded with action and
thrills. In their two recent out
ings, Vince Puglieses Blair
eleven has suddenly shown
signs of remarkable rejuvena-
ton by upsetting Richard Mont

ing Northwestern, $50.
Northwood, until suffering a
14-6 defeat by Wheaton last
weekend, was number two in
the league behind Wheaton.
They are now locked with Rich

third place with identical rec
ords of three wins. two losses
and no ties.
Coach Pugllese Is enthu-
siastic over the Surglng spirit
of his team and looks to the
contest with Northwood with
relish. In addition to seeking
revenge for last years 40
lambasting at the hands of
NOrthwOod, the Blair coach
feels his new backfieId may
prove just too much for the
opposing eleven.

players around before the game

fifth backfield unit this year. In

Wheaton retained its grip on
first place in the Montgomery
County League last weekend
with a 14-6 victory over North
wood, which dropped the losers
from second to third place in the
standings behind Walter john
son.
Halfback Ed Frace was the
standout In the victory for
Wheaton, playing the entire con-
test on offense, during which
time he scored a touchdown and
ran most of the plays. Frace
tailed the first touchdown for
the Knights on a 26-yard squirt
up the middle.
While Frace Is credited rum
ming two.thirds of the plays
for the Wheaton Knights, 1t
was the rushing of brothers
David and Barton Suhke that
resulted in the second I'D for

Spartans in a contest that in
wolves the league lead.
Walter Johnson moved into
the number two spot in league
standings last weekend with an
impressive 26-0 victory over
Gaithersburg, while Wheaton re-
tanned top spot in the standings
with a 14-6 win over Northwood
that dropped Northwood to the

WI goes into the match with
Wheaton with a record of three
wins. one loss and one tie in
league play, while Wheaton
lays a record of three wins, no
losses and two ties on the line.
Wheaton Coach william
Hahn says his team is pre-.
pared for the encounter, de-
spite the fact the Knights have
lost the services of halfbacks
Bill Issac and Paul Kanak and
guard Alan Jones. Issac and
Jones are out for the balance
of the season with injuries
and Kanak has transferred
from the area. However,
Hahn says, he's got a good
