The school officials point out
that, although money is not as
plentiful as they would like,
they never have failed to meet
any Of their obligations and
never have failed to give their
teachers their full pay.
ALI this came about while
they were building modern
classrooms into which they
moved classes from makeshift
classrooms in churches, a shoe
shop, a club house and similar
places.

Juveniles were taken off pick

Two other legal actions are

In justice Of the peace court,
four men from Jacksonville are

charges of beating four Negroes

court at Jacksonville, where on
Monday arguments and teSti-

Negro leaders for an injunction

peaceful efforts at migration

Team Probes Killing
Meanwhile, a team Of State
Sheriffs' Bureau investigators
works with Sheriff L. o. Davis |
and police chief Virgil Stuart. |
They are investigating the kill
ing of Mr.. Kinard and subSe-
quent Shootings.
Three business places and
two homes in a Negro section
were sprayed with shotgun and
rifle or pistol fire the night of
October %, a few hours after
Mr.. Kinards's funeral. Bullets
we're fired into a white family's
home the following night.
Three white companions of
Mr.. Kinard in a car said he was

The good will and friendly

Races Apprehensive
Among both races there is
apprehension.
Since William Kinard, a Is
year-old white CONNIE rcial
fisherman, was shot to death
October IS, there have been
other shootings. The fact that
no further serious injuries re-
suited was more by chance
than anything else.

FARMVILLE, Va, Nov. 2
(AP).-A lot Of people said 1t
couldn't be done.
They said it wouldn't last
especially after the county's
new free school system got
started this fall.
But the Prince Edward
County School Foundation. a
private white school operated
with funds from tuition fees, is
offering figures that it claims
prove it is going great guns
with permanent building and
plans for expansion.
There were times In the past
when it seemed the private sys-
TEN was bound to founder, but
determine d Prince Edward
hackers boast now their foun-
dalton offers facilities as good
as-if not bet ter than-the
public schools they had before
those schools were closed fol-
lowing a 1859 court order to
integrate.
Roy r. Pearson, president of
the Prince Edward County
School Foundation, and Robert
T. Redd, administrator of the
private Prince Edward Acade-
my, stood in front of the school
last week and said, there it is,
and it's ours"
Moral Principle Seen
Parents of students in Prince
Edward have been declared by
courts to be ineligible to receive
state grants because of the fact
that no public schools are oper-
ated in the county.
Mr.. Pearson says the school
is not an effort to defy the
court order to integrate, but
rather is an attempt to decide
who is going to run the schools,
Prince Edward County or the
Federal judiciary"
"Aslo," Mr.. Pearson said, I'VE
want to find out if duly elected
representatives can be forced
to levy taxes and appropriate
funds against the wishes of the
voters.
For the past two years with
state grants not being availa-
BILE, parents had no choice but
to send their children to our
school. However, this year, with
the free school system operat-
ing, they do have a choice.
1.-THE other school would not
cost the parents anything. But,
I think that it is significant
that not a single parent in
Prince Edward County has
chosen to take his child from
our school to enroll him in the
free school"
Determination Counted
No one claims that this has
been an easy four years. In
fact, Mr.. Pearson and Mr..
Redd will be the first two to
admit that it has been a very
trying four years, which have
required a lot of money and a
lot of effort and determination
by a lot of people. But they
choose to let the facts that

Weight pulling contests domin- ated activities at the Anchor Point Snow Festival last weekend with Larry Clendenen walking off with most of the top honors in those events. Clendenen took first places in the three-dog and one- dog heavyweight events with pulls of 3,200 lbs. and 1000 lbs, respectively, and also placed first in the 3-dog lightweight compe- tition with pull of 2,400 lbs. There were no 2-dog teams enter ed.
 Joe Brandon, who swept most of the weight pull events last year, took first place in last week ends 1-dog ight-weight event with a pull of 600 lbs.
 These were outstanding weights for such competition, but were somewhat short of the 6,175 lbs. that Clendenen's dogs pulled in 1861 to set the still unbroken Worlds Champion weight pull for a 3-dog team.
 lnez (Mrs. Larry) Clendenen took second place in Saturdays 3-dog and 1-dog lightweight and heavyweight contests.

 Unfortunately, because of oth- CT commitments, the Homer en- try had to withdraw when the Festlval was postponed from its originally scheduled date in Feb ruary. Of the two remaining en- tries, Miss Murdoch, sponsored by the Bear Den in Soldotna. was crowned queen by Phyllis Wilson of kenai, who was queen of the Festival in 1861.
 The Snow Flake Ball was as al- ways one of the outstanding so- clal events of the winter season on the Kenai Peninsula and lasted until we'll into the morning.
 Run Token Races
 The main event of the Festival, the kenai Peninsula Sled Dog Championship Races, was cancel led for lack of snow. However, in the last two days before the Fes- tival, more snow did fall, so token race was held on Sunday.

Phoney Survey of Knowles Sentiment
Babcock Whacked forNews
Manipulation, by Barrett

Fred Barrett, State Demo
cratic chairman, Monday &C
cused Governor Babcock with
manipulating news to suit his
own purposes. He referred tt
a speech Babcock made tC
Montana bankers recently, in
which the Governor spoke OF
a poll published by the DAILY
MISSOULIAN showing that 95
per cent of the people in the
poll area opposed Knowles
Dam.
According to the story published
in the MISSOULIAN April 21," Bar
rett pointed out, "the poll was a sur
vey conducted by Phil Hamel of
Dixon, vice president of the Upper
Columbia Development Council, and
it included only farmers, not towns
people. The poll specifically states
that persons living in area adjacent
to the reservoir and those living in
towns and communities which had
been affected were not queried.
"HamePs survey purports to
show that 95 per cent of the farm
ers were against the project. In
asmuch as other figures quoted in
the news release were 100 per cent
inaccurate, this survey can certain
ly be questioned (See PV, April
26, for more details-Editor.)
"Since less than one-half the peo-
pie in the poll area live ON farms or
ranches" Barrett went ON, ''this 95
per cent figure represents something
different from what the
Governor said.
"When the story was originally

Barrett also challenged the Gov
ernor's statement that dams pro-
posed for Montana would call for
a huge expenditure of federal tax
money. Opponents of dams keep
harping on the expenditures of fed
eral tax money, when they know
that costs allocated to power are
not paid for by taxpayers but by
power users. In the case of Knowles
Dam, this would represent so per
cent of the cost.

Larger Wheat Crop Forecast;

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)
The USDA estimates the 1868
wheat crop, as of April 20, at
1,167 million bushels. This is based
on 927 million bushels of winter
wheat and 24O million bushels of
spring wheat. The total crop would
be 7 above 1862 but $50 below
the 1957-61 average.
Among the factors contributing
to this years TO larger crop is
the smaller acreage diverted from
wheat to conservation uses this

SAC Chief Is Said!
To Have Modified
Victory View

WASHINGTON, d. C.-(CNS)-
General Thomas S. Power, chief OF
the Strategic Air Command, has come
around to the view that it no longer
is possible for anyone to be the VIC
tor in an atomic war.
This is what ''reliable sources
told Thomas B. Ross of the Chicago
|SUN-TIMES after Power gave an
off-the-record, press-excluded talk
before the Metropolitan Club here,
April %.
To the extent of its accuracy, this
is a portent of cooperation.
General Powers position makes
him an important influence in the
military thinking of the country, and
he has been among those who hold
the view. that victory" in an atomic
war is possible. His views have been
known to contrast with the view, for
example, of Defense Secretary Nc
Nanaara that there is limit to the
value of building larger and larger
nuclear forces in an age Of mutual
deterrence".
The cooperation to which Powers
reported change of view portends
would take the form of willingness
to explore possibilities of accommo-
dation.
