Universal Education

UNIVERSAL education may return to
Prince Edward County this fall. A
Virginia non-profit corporation, adj
minstered by board of trustees COM
posed Of outstanding Virginia edu-
Gators, will be formed. "A system Of
private. free-tuition schools is planned
to be opened in the county and financ-
ed by contributions from private foun-
dations.
1t is proposed that certain existing
school buildings, belonging to the Prince
Edward School Board, be leased for
period Of one year.
Prince Edward School Board ex-
emplifies its interest in education by
making available to the private cor
poration certain school buildings under
its control for use during the ensuing
year The buildings to be used were de-
sgnated in a survey Following a for
mer study by the State Department of
Education.
Opening of this system Of schools will
provide education for Negro children,
ana any olhefS VINO wish TO take adj
vantage Of the opportunity
This newspaper historically has sup
ported all movements to furnish the
opportunity of education for its citizens.
On July II. 1868, we supported the
proposal Of DR.. j. Rupert Picott, ex-
ecutive secretary of the Virginia Teach
ers Association to provide private
schools. This newspaper supported the
unsuccessful effort of the Southside
Schools. Inc, in 1859. This newspaper
supported public education prior to
1851. and we support public education
today-but we believe public education
is the duty of the locality and it must
have control of its operation.
It is With a considerable degree Of
satisfaction that we welcome universal
education back to Prince Edward, even
if it be limited. as we'll it might be,
to the coming year
We also hope that the courts will
have adjudicated the many questions
before them by that time and a per-
manent program, satisfactory to all

law regardless of whether or not public
schools are in operation in locality;
And that funds required by the Vir-
ginia Constitution are limited to use
in elementary education.
Judge Knowles opinion makes the
localities responsible for education in
Virginia, and it rules out federal inter
ference or authority under the Consti-
tuition. The decision was appealed to
the Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals,
and will be argued orally in October
The opinions Of Judge Knowles clash
ed with opinions and judgments of
Judge Oren Lewis, federal district
judge. The Fourth Circuit Court vacates
all of the Federal District Courts
judgments, until final determination of
the State constitutional questions have
been made final by the Virginia Su-
preme Court of Appeals. This is all
that the Circuit Court has decided at
the present.
Judge Clement F. Haynsworth in his
27-page majority decision in which he
was joined by Judge Herbert Boreman,
did discuss some Of the issues embraced
in the State case, but made no findings.
The recent decision is based upon
good solid law, and it may become a
beacon on the muddled seas of future
Jurisprudence
The final outcome of the Prince Ed
ward School case is not to be seen yet
While we view the present decision with
some optimism in search for a per-
manent solution to the dilemma, we
know there is long way to it's final
adjudication.
In the interim, we, who are in the
thick of the controversy, must maintain
our calm composure, our determination
to find a solution with the least injury
to our community and its institutions.
Prince Edward stand steady.

Juvenile Delinquency

DURING the past four years when a
stable number of Negro children in
Prince Edward have been out of school
there has been no problem of juvenile
delinquency. The fact speaks we'll for
the white and Negro people of the coun-
ty. 1t was not unexpected by those who
knew the fine character of it's people,
but amazed many Strangers.
This record is being broken The chill
dren of Prince Edward are being used
to break established laws and customs.
Many are being arrested and placed
under bond. Adults, who should know
better, are exciting the children in acts
foreign to their character and training.
Let it be said and remembered that
Prince Edward people are law abiding.
May our people be patient in these
times of unusual conditions over which
they now have control only by the laws.
We know in many cases delinquent acts
of the children are as embarrassing to
the parents as they are to the people of
good will in the county.

The Decision

THE Fourth Circuit Court of Ap
peals, composed Of three of the five
Judges, announced a split decision
Monday in the Prince Edward School
case The two remaining judges, who,
before becoming members of the ap-
peals court, had heard and decided GER
tain phases Of the case, disqualified
themselves at the appeals hearing. We
view the split decision with cautious
OPTIMISM
The principal point in the decision
is that this Z. S. Fourth Circuit Court
recognizes the existence of system of
states forming the United States. This
recognition is encouraging.
The Circuit Court vacated all of the
Judgments Of the District Court, with
instructions Ito it to abstain from con
Quoting further proceedings until the
Supreme Court Of Appeals of Virginia
shall have decided the case now pend
ing on its docket"
The State case, styled County Board
of Prince Edward Virginia, ct al.
against Leslie Francis Griffin. ct al.
stems from a decision Of Judge John
Wlngo Knowles of the Richmond Cir
cut Court in declaratory Judgment
on Virginia law. In scholarly 3l-pape
opinion Judge Knowles decided:
That the State Board of Education
and the State Superintendent of Public
instruction have no duty or power to
operate public schools in Prince Ed
ward or any other county;
That the Prince Edward School Board
had performed its duty under the Con-
stitution of Virginia;
That there is no provision in the u. S.
Constitution requiring a State to main
tain public Schools
That the Virginia Constitution or
State Law does not prohibit the pay

Average Budget
Medical Care IS
Six Per Cent

What price medical care in
this area?
Because Of the new medical
aid program proposed by the
Administration, there is special
interest locally and in other
communities across the country
in how much people are spend
ing per year for their various
health services.
One thing that is clearly es-
tabllshed. through surveys made
by the Social Security Admins
tration, by the Department of
Labor and others, is that the
cost is mounting sharply.
According to Government fig
ures, hospital care has been
rising lately at the rate of 9.8
per cent a year, nursing home
care by 8.9 percent, payments
to physicians 6.5 percent, and
OUTLAWS for eyeglasses and APP
planes, % percent.
In addition, the cost Of health
Insurance, over and above the
amount returned by the comp
anies in benefits, has jumped
1877 percent.
What it all adds up to. as far
as area residents are concerned,
is that they are spending some
$84 year Fer capita, Or 60
percent of their disposable in
come, for health services.
Ten years ago, they could
have bought the equivalent for
$63 per capita.
The figures refer to private
OUTLAWS only and do not include
expenditures by governments or
by charities.
Approximately 80 percent of
the amount that is spent per
year represents health insurance
payments, it is noted.

Directed BY capable Virginia edu-
Gators, the proposed schools should
serve the needs of the children not
now in school,
The Prince Edward School Founda-
ton system of schools has served we'll
the needs of its patrons during the four
years of operation, despite inconveni-
ences and hardships. The records of
Academy graduates have been outstand-
ing. The spirit of the student body and
the faculty is exemplary. The School
Foundation will operate as usual dur
ing the coming year.
It IS hoped that scholarships budget
ed by the State and the County will be
available to all parents in the county
who have the obligation of educating
their children. At the moment under the
decision of the Fourth Circuit Court it
would appear that Prince Edward par
ents would be eligible for scholarships.

ASPEN, Colo, Jan. (AP).-
When it comes to skiing

on his brother, Attorney Gen
eral Robert F. Kennedy.
That was the opinion voiced
by a veteran Aspen observer

He said he would give the
nod to the Attorney Generals

But he hastened to add it

11NeWspapers
In Two Cities
Remain Closed

NEW YORK, Jan. l (AP).-
Two of the Nations largest
cities welcomed the new year
today without their daily news
papers.
New York has had a record
breaking newspaper strike for
25 days, and Cleveland, Ohio,
for 33. Altogether Ii papers
have shut down in the two
cities because of strikes.
The city Convention and
Visitors Bureau in New York
blamed the newspaper shut
down for a drop of 10 to Is
per cent in the normal volume
of restaurant, hotel, entertain
ment and other tourist busi-
ness.
The newspaper strike In
Cleveland has rubbed off much
of the New Years glitter for
thousands in the Greater
Cleveland area.
Retail business is slumping
New and used car sales are way
off.
Retail stores in both cities
have expressed concern about
January clearance sales.
Many real estate men, Who'll
ly dependent on classified ad-
vertising, have closed offices
because of lack of customers.
The strike of the American
Newspaper Guild and the Team
sters Union against Cleveland's
two daily newspapers is the
longest in the city's newspa-
per history. There are no signs
of a settlement. Negotiations
with the Guild are still under
way, but talks with the Team

DR.. Won Karman, 81, already

The latest medal, said the
presidential announcement in
Palm Beach, Fla, is "for lead
ership in science and engineer
ing basic to aeronauticS, for
distinguished counsel to the
armed services and for promot-
ing international cooperation
in science and engineering"
His work in jet propulsion
dates back to 1912, when he
formed a company to build
JATO units for jet-assisted
takeoffs. His work with wind
eddies over airplane wings led
to design of the first planes to
break the sound barrier.
DIR. Won Karman, born in

9th Boston StrongIing
Offers Coffee Cup Clues

BOSTON, Jan. l (AP) An
address book, a score of Christ
mas cards and two coffee cups
provide the principal clues for
homicide detectives in their in
vestigation of the Strangulation
Staying of a pretty 23-year-old
secretary.
Patricia Bissette's nearly
nude body was found yester-
day on a bed in her first floor
apartment at Sis Park drive in
Boston's Back Bay.
The girl, a secretary-recep-
zionist for an engineering firm
and a former resident of Mid
dlebury, VT, was the eighth
strangle victim in Greater Bos-
ton in the last six months. All
are unsolved.
Detectives centered their in
veStigation around the theory
the latest victim may have
been slain by a friend. The
two coffee cups indicated Miss
Bissette had entertained Wis
itor in the apartment where she
lived alone, police said.
DR.. Michael A. Luongo, medi-
cal examiner, said an autopsy
revealed the girl was one
month pregnant. He said she
had been strangled with arti-
cles of her own clothing but
had not been sexually molested
as had most of the other
strangle victims.
Detectives questioned neigh
bors, friends and fellow en-
ployes in an attempt to learn
the Identities of men she may
have dated. Police also checked
names in an address book
found in the apartment as well
as on Christmas cards sent to
the slain girl.
Miss Bissette's body was
found yesterday morning after
her employer, Jules Rothman,
became concerned when she
failed to show for work. Mr..
Rothman described her as very
punctual, very pretty and very
pleasant" He said he didn't
believe she dated very often.

Senator Ellender, in a tele-

he told the Salisbury audience
there is no place in Africa
where Negro Africans have
built up an economy "by brick
