Pupil Data
Justification
Under STUDY

RICHMOND, Aug. II (AP).-
Two school officials have told
the State Board Of Education
they had been aware Of some
Justification Of pupil attend
ance records in Scott County.
A former Scott County school
superintendent. Paul w. Col
Inns, said yesterday he believed
the records padding had been
going on for more than 20
years.
The present superintendent,
Charles H. Orr, said he had had
some indication Of the padding
but was not aware of thu ex-
tent Of the Justification until a
State audit was begun.
Mr.. Orr told the board that
had I realized the extent
would never have accepted the
position Of superintendent"
The State board is studying
the overpayment of 1922 900 in
State education funds to Scott
County through the falsifica-
ton Of pupil attendance records
during the last four years. The
amount has now been reduced
to $286,7l2 by adjustments in
the distribution of funds.
Mr. Collins, now superinten-
dent Of schools in Isle Of Wight
County, was a teacher in Scott
County in 1910.
He said that from 1941 to
1855 when he was a principal
in Scott County he knew "in.
directly" that record padding
was going on.
Mr.. Orr told the board he &C
cepted the position of superin-
tendent without an audit or
examination. Had I called for
an audit, this situation would
not have existed as 1t does"
The education board said II
did not expect to reach q de-
cision until it made further
study of the testimony.
The board is considering its
responsibility under a State
law that provides for disciplin-
airy action against superinten-
dents who may be found guilty
of misconduct.

Court lnterVenes,
Orders Woman to
Have Operation

A judge has ordered an ex-
ploratory cancer operation fol
a st. Elizabeths Hospital pa
tient because she was incompe-
tent to make the important de-
cision herself.
United States District Court
Judge David A. Pine made the
difficult decision yesterday
after a doctor, the woman'S
court-appointed lawyer and heI
mother all agreed the surgery
was necessary.
The woman, A, the mother
of five minor children, was
committed to st. Elizabeths last
February. Her estranged hus-
band refused to help wish the
operation decision, court papers
said.
DR.. Dale C. Cameron, hos
pital superintendent, had asked
the court to grant permission
for an exploratory operation,
and, If Necessary, for removal
Of any malignant growth that
is found.
Judge Pine said that such
operation authority cases are
rare. In the case Of the woman
involved yesterday. her status
as a mental patient had pre-
vented her from giving a le-
gally valid permission.

Senator Urges
Enthusiasm for
Domestic Corps

While President Kennedy's
proposed domestic peace corps"
isn't in trouble in Congress, it
could use more enthusiasm and
acceptance from the people,
Senator Harrison A. Williams,
jr., Democrat of New Jersey,
said last night.
He told the Fairfax County
Council on Human Relations
that Americans understand
poverty abroad and we respond
to the Peace Corps.
But, something like the Ma
tional Service Corps that deals
with "our poverty at home" has
a harder time and needs "a
generation Of acceptance and
enthusiasm" the Senator said.
He predicted that the bill
creating the domestic corps
would come to a vote during
this session Of Congress.
Senator Williams drew the
human relations councils plau-
dts February % when he
helped focus attention on sub
standard housing in the coun-
ty with a caravan into Gum
Springs. There he helped bring
the houses of three families up
to county standards to avert
evictions.
He said he was pleased that
publicity about the situation
had "softened the hardened
arteries of county officials"
into appropriating funds for a
study committee on housing
conditions.
Council members signed petit
tions at the meeting calling
for a referendum next fall on
creation Of a county redevelop-
ment and housing authority.
Such an authority is necessary
II the county is to receive Fed
eral aid for urban renewal and
public housing projects.

fees under the $73 million
Philippines War Claims Act.
Voice-vote approval was given
last night to an amendment

The Senate decided to block
payment to lobbyists after its
