Court Action Predicted
BY BILL WALL

Another round in the PoWha-
tan school case is expected to
start in the Federal district
court this week, according to
hints dropped in Richmond last
week.
The NAACP is expected to file
a motion seeking to prohibit the
payment Of scholarship grants
to parents of children attending
the all-white private Huguenot
Academy.
The object of this legal man
euver would be to require the
private school to admit students
without regard to race, if the
children attending the school re
ceive state or local scholarship
grants.
This question has beer raised
in the Prince Edward county
school case. Judge Oren r Lew

children may not receive schol-
arship grants while public
schools are closed; but he did
