Beard of Education on any state
officer or agency can compel the
establishment maintenance or
operation OF a single school in
the commonwealth Of Virginia. !"
There was no racial overtone
in the closing of Prince Edward
schools. because exactly t h e
same thing has been done in con
nection with white children as
was done in connection vi t h
colored children. Public schools
for all children have been clos
ed"
I'VE say. and it is time that
again this court should m K e

situation is. that the operation
of public schools is not an obi

Constitution of the United States
and no court has so held !.
Denny said,
Gravatt Brief
j. Segar Gravett, of Black
stone, said on behalf Of tn e
county board Of supervisors that
the failure of this board to levy
taxes and appropriate funds for
schools violates no provision OF
the federal Constitution or the
laws of Virginia.
Judge Lewis injunction was
enormously based on the as
sumption that the operation Of
pubic schools in Virginia is a
state undertaking and that { h e
school systems must be uniform
throughout the state. Gravatt
argued.
An analysis of Virginia laws
and the State Constitution shows
they don't provide for or con-
template a statewide school
system, but on the contrary, the
state laws permit each county
and city a choice of the method
of providing education. he said.
The brief of the Negro plain
tiffs. filed earlier, asked h e
Fourth Circuit Court to cut off
all state funds to Virginia pub
lie schools unless schools in
Prince Edward are reopened.
They sought the reopening of
schools by February /.

A Difficult
Editing Job
BY BERNIE HARRISON

Theodore H. White, whose best-selling book
"The Making Of the President, 1960," the story
Of John F. Kennedy's campaign, has been turned
into Commute Tv special, is willing to chal-
lenge any other single documentary maker on
one particular production point.
I'VE white and Producer David Wolper)
looked at more raw film than anyone ever has
for one TV show" he told us. That's professional
and amateur film; we dug up stuff no one be-
neved existed"
This suggests two other thoughts: One, that
there are many possible shows in that footage
for documentary makers to come for decades;
two, that the job Of editing and leaving out some
film was especially difficult. White admits this:
There were some superb footage Of Kennedy
with Johnson - but it was irrelevant"
White and Wolper completed "The Making
of the President" before the Presidents death
in Dallas and decided, after much discussion, to
leave it unchanged = "a tormenting decision"
White said. Tuning it in is far easier decision;
it should be one of the seasons outstanding shows

Recent research at the Uni
versity Of Chicago Medical
School has succeeded in isolat-
ing Q hormone which activiates
the production Of red blood
cells. No red cell formation
seems to be possible without it
This was largely the work Of
DR.. XXI Nakao, a Japanese
specialist in hematology. The
source Of this hormone has also
been traced to the kidneys.
Without it the patient suf-
fers severe and often fatal ane-
mia, but an excess Of the hor-
none produces the much rareI
blood disease, polycythemia.
In the body the hormone
works In extremely minute
amounts. It acts directly and
exclusively on the bone marrow
where red cells are formed.
The partial pressure Of oxy-
gen In one or more tissues OF
the body appears to regulate
hormone production, and thus
the rate Of red cell production
and the steady state of the red
cell mass" DR.. Leon o. Jacob
son, director Of the university's
Cancer Research Hospital, re-
ported to a meeting of medical
alumni.
you may wonder" DR.. ia
cobson told the medical alumni,
what value this hormone has
and whether 1t would help in
your clinical practice If we had
1t in any quantity. We really do
not know. At present it would
cost approximately $4,000 to
treat q single patient, so its
therapeutic value is completely
UNEMPLOYED. We have the hor-
none In purified state entirely
for experimental purposes. The
Public Health Service, however
is about to go into its produc-
ton from human urine sources,
so the picture may be different
In q year or two"
He advised any doctor with
an anemic patient, however, to
send a urine specimen to the
University Of Chicago where 1t
will be analyzed by highly speci-
allied biochemical techniQues.
