Lewis Ruling
Judge Lewis actually did not
answer any of the questions pre-
sented in his court. Judge Lewis
ruled that county cannot OK
pend public funds in aid of, or
in reimbursement of, oney,
paid for the attendance of any
Child at a private school in a
county where there are no pub
lie schools He also ruled that
the state cannot support, direct
" or indirectly. any private
school as long as public schools
in the county are closed
Judge Lewis denied number
five listed above, saying no in
tention was shown of leasing or
selling the former public school
buildings. Since then three of the
former public school buildings
have been leased to the Prince
| Edward Free School Association.
Number four. above has been
rendered moot, becau the
county has repealed its tax
credit ordinance.
The prime questions remain
ing to be answered are the first
three listed above, The Fourth
Circuit Court Of Appeals in a de-
cision handed down in August Of
/ 1868 held that Judge Lewis
should have waited for the State
Supreme Court to answer these
questions in relation to State
/ law and the State Constitution
and then, if federal questions are
1 involved. the case should be re-
heard by the Federal District
/ Court of Judge Lewis.
I NAACP attorneys have taken
| the ruling Of the Fourth Circuit
Court on appeal to the United
States Supreme Court, asking
the Federal high court to answer
the questions.
Action Likely
Three courses of action appear
likely in the Supre me Court
case. First. the high court could
make sweeping decision on the
issues. dlsregarding state law
and legal precedents; secondly,
the high court could agree with
the Fourth Circuit Court, and
send the case back to the dis
trict court to be reheard in the
light Of the anticipated decision
Of the Virginia Supreme Court,
which will settle the issues in
volving state law; or thirdly. the
Supreme Court could make some
"in-between" ruling, neither an
swering the legal questions of
law nor settling any of the fun
damental issues involved in the
original suit, as outlined above

NAACP, filed Wednesday, asks

President Kennedy and Brit
ish Prime Minister Harold
Macmillan were reported ready
today to dispatch a proposal
to Soviet Premier Khrushchev
for a meeting Of scientists to
discuss ways Of detecting nu-
clear explosions without hav.
ing international inspectors in
side Russia.
Secretary Of State Rusk told
a news conference yesterday
the United States Government
considers it important to keep
trying to achieve agreement"
with Russia on a nuclear test
ban treaty.
The message to Mr.. Khru-
shchev which Mr.. Kennedy,
Mr.. Macmillan and their dis
armament experts have worked
out constitutes the latest of a
series Of efforts to break the
deadlock in test ban negotia-
tons which have been begged
down at Geneva since earlier
this year.
The immediate point of chal-
lenge in the new proposal, in
formants said, is Mr.. Khru-
shchev's insistence that on
site inspections in Russia are
not necessary because means
exist to detect nuclear explo-
sions from outside the territory
Of any country.
Mr.. Rusk recalled to re-

West Wants Scientists
To Confer on A-Tests

porters yesterday that the
Soviets have long argued the
existence Of scientific equip
ment adequate to do this Job
and he said I'VE don't think
So"
But we think this is some
thing which can be explored
scientifically and technically
to get a positive result" he
said.
1t is understood that Mr..
Kennedy and Mr.. Macmillan
would be willing to have the
scientific meeting in Moscow
or anywhere else agreeable to
Mr.. Khrushchev. But the
United States officials had no
real hope Mr.. Khrushchev
would agree to have the meet
ing at all because they believe
at the moment the Russians
are not interested in trying to
revive active test ban negotia-
tions.
Mr.. Rusk said one reason
for this could be that the
Soviets were planning a new
round Of tests in their nuclear
weapons development program
Another consideration in Mos
COW, he indicated, may be the
re-examination Of policies be-
heved to be going on there in
connection with the split be-
tween Russia and Red China.

vate industry has failed to prac-
tice merit hiring and that the
pace has been set by the Gov

District job bias because of
race amounts to a great feel

community because of de facto
discrimination which exists"
DR.. Hewlett told the subcom-
mittee. Employers hide behind

ed, as they avoid practicing fair
employment. A Fair Employ

such evasion, DR.. Hewlett said.
