BY BETTY MILES
Star Staff Writer

The Public Welfare Advisory
Council has recommended to
the District Commissioners that
surplus food be delivered to dis
abled persons and that neigh
bors be sought out to deliver
the food, possibly for a fee.
The council acted yesterday
on a report from its surplus
food committee, whose chair
man is Admiral Raymond p
Hunter. .'' ~.
The Welfare Departments
surplus food program currently
is under investigation after
charges of possible fraud and
exploitation by private drivers
who deliver the food for money
to needy recipients. The food
is picked UP at a central dis
tribution center at 367 Virginia
avenue, SW. ;r,.
Admiral Hunter said he be-
lieves the central distribution

He reminded the council that
the private drivers, or hustlers
as they are also called, Uper-
ated at the old neighborhood
distribution points, too.

pie were doing a great service
to the people they were help
ing" Admiral Hunter said.
He noted that the activities

of the members of the coun-
ell feel as strongly as DO,
they will recommend that the
Commissioners abandon con-
sideration Of the stamp plan, 7"
Admiral Hunter said.
The council, however, decided
to seek more information on the
plan and to tell the Commits
sioners they hope to come up
with a recommendation on the
surplus food question next
month. SO
Admiral Hunter pointed out
that the stamp plan doesn't
make use of surplus food.
This is the thing that
strikes me first and bothers me
most" he said. What are they
going to do with the surplus
food itself? I'm a taxpayer and
we have a duty to the tax
payers" ...- 80, e.s
With the exception. of i'm
ported items and spirits and to-
bacco, needy persons who quail
ify can purchase any food they
want with the stamps, he. said.
They must first purchase the
stamps, but receive food In ex-
cess of the face value Of the
stamps, depending on the size
of their incomes and their fam
lily. - $50

Way Sought to Apply
Space Weapons Ban

-Four methods are being
considered for formulating the
tentative agreement against
placing weapons Of mass de-
struction in space orbit.
President Kennedy is ready
to send American negotiators
to the conference table i'm
mediately to put in writing the
very broad" agreement in
principle reached last week by
Secretary of State Rusk, Soviet
Foreign Minister Gromyko and
British Foreign Minister Lord
Home.
A high administration Off
cial told newspapermen and
broadcasters gathered here yes
terday that these alternatives
are being considered:
/. Each of the three powers
might issue declarations pledg-
ing not to place such weapons
in orbit.
2. A single, joint declaration
might be prepared.
8. A treaty might be written,
to which other powers might
accede.
4. A resolution might be pre-
sented in the United Nations
General Assembly in the hope
that most of the world could
be committed quickly to the
ban.
No specific provisions for in
Spection are included in the
agreement in principle, but the
United States believes some
sort of verification or informa-
ton to be a necessity, the Off
cial said.
Arrangements for formaliz-
ing the agreement will be dis
cusSed further when President
Kennedy and Mr.. Rusk meet
with Mr.. Gromyko here this
week. the official said, but he
expressed doubt the arrange
ments would be completed at
that time.
Weapons launched for space
orbit would be relatively inef-
fective because they would not
be nearly as accurate as
ground-based ones, the official
said. In addition, they would
be extremely expensive and
easier to defend against than
intercontinental ballistic mis-
siles.
If the Soviet Union decided
to develop such weapons, per-
haps to gain a psychological
advantage, the United States
would have to do the same,
the official feels.
On other disarmament mat
tiers, the official said the pos

ton to maintain an efficient
system Of public free schools
throughout the State"
Collins Denny, jr., attorney
for the Prince Edwards School
Board, commended that the
County School Board stands
ready to open schools but it
does not have the money it
needs from the County Board
of Supervisors.
He said the State complies
with the Virginia constitu-
tional mandate for a system"
of public schools by appropri-
ating funds to the localities for
public education. This includes
Prince Edward. he said.
1t is up to the local board
Of supervisors to match these
funds in order to obtain the
money from the State.
Lack Of Funds Claimed
Mr.. Denny argued that the
Prince Edward School Board
could not spend money which
it does not have; that is, it
could not reopen public schools |
for which the board of super
viSors failed to appropriate |
funds.
Mr.. Denny told the court |
that the case before 1t raises
10 fundamental question: Who |
establishes, maintains and OPP
crates public schools - the |
State or the locality2
He argued that the State
maintains a system" of pub
lie schools in compliance with
the Virginia constitution when
it provides matching funds to
the localities. 1t is up to a
locality to make the choice of
whether public schools there
will be maintained, Mr.. Denny
said.
There is no obligation upon
the State to do more under
the Constitution, he told the
court. 1t is up to the localities
thereafter, to appropriate funds
to match money from the
State. If they so desire, he en-
phasized.
u. S. Court Action Wanted
Prince Edward County simply
has declined to match the
States funds for public schools,
Mr.. Denny said.
The attorney for the Negroes,
Mr.. Tucker, told the court that
"our case does not belong
here"
He said Prince Edward Coun-
tvs Negro children are being
denied their equal opportunity
rights under the 14th Amend
ment to the United States Con-
stitution and that he believes

forum to settle this question.

there was no ruling by this
court at all?" inquired Justice
c. Vernon Spratley.
Precisely" Mr.. Tucker re-
piled, 1--WE do not believe this
