BY

GOV HARRISON said on
Wednesday he thinks recent U.

Lite effect in Virginia. There
is no law in Virginia that pro
vides for segregation or dis
elimination, he told reporters.
On May 20 the Supreme Court
declared uncons itutional state
laws providing for the proSecu-
ton Of Negro slt-in demonstra-
tors. But Harrison added the
ruling might have a long term
persuasive effect and that ulti-
nlately a state law providing for
segregated public assemblies
might be declared VOID.
FEDERAL JUDGE II. Hobart
GrOoms Wednesday dismissed a
suit against Madison County
and Huntsville. Ala, schools.
The Justice Department. which
said it would appeal the ruling,
had sought desegregation or
der because the schools are in
an inractod area and receive
