GIRLS STUNT SUCCEEDS

(AP).-After months of plot

twins who attend colleges hun.
dreds of miles apart, switched

She said she and her sister

near Londonderry, VT, to ski
with classmates from both
schools.
They prepared elaborate in
structions for each other and
enlisted the aid of close friends
to help put the hoax across.
On Monday, Jean became Lee
at Wells, and Lee took Jeans
place at Wheaton.
Each had several close calls.
"The worst one I had" Lee
said, was in her Spanish class.
I don't speak Spanish, and she
speaks 1t fluently."
When the roll was called, Lee
said. another girl answered and
said Miss Jones had caught
laryngitis over the week end
and couldn't speak.
The professor accepted the
story.
Jeans toughest test was in
an English history class at
Wells. The class has only five
students in 1t.

out that Lee had give the op-

Harrison Sees
Virginia Filling
Schooling Gap
BY a Star staff Writer

RICHMOND, April 11.-Gov.
Harrison hopes the State Of
Virginia, rather than the Fed
eral Government, can make up
for four years Of education
lost by about 1,700 Negro chill
dren in Prince Edward County.
DR.. John A. Morsell of New
York, Assistant Secretary Of
the NAACP, last night called on
the Federal Government to pro-
vide a massive remedial in
struction program" for the
Negro children who have been
deprived of public schooling
in Prince Edward since 1859.
DR.. Morsell expressed his
views at a press conference
here yesterday prior to a rally
last night at Farmville, the
Prince Edward County seat.
Shortly before his arrival,
however, Gov. Harrison told a
press conference:
I'm hopeful that at an early
date some system of public edu-
cation can be started in Prince
Edward. Preliminary to its
opening, some sort Of reme-
dial instruction may be needed
for some Of the children who
have been out of school for as
long as four years.
II would hope that would
be (provided) by the State and
local governments"
DR.. Morsell said top figures
in the Kennedy administration
had been informed of plans for
what he termed a special
crash remedial instruction pro-
gram" in the Southside Vir-
ginia county.
Prince Edward closed all pub
lie schools in 1859 rather than
bow to a Federal courts order
to desegregate. Since then
about 400 white children have
been attending privately fl
nanced schools, while Negroes
have been without formal edu-
cation.
DR.. Morsell said a special
census of school-age Negro
children in the county would
be taken next week by Vir-
ginia Union College and Hamp-
ton Institute.
The results, he said, would be
m a de available to Federal
agencies as a basis for forming
remedial programs of inStruc-
ton.
while our consideration and
focus is on Negro children"
DR.. Morsell said, I'VE are con-
vinced that the white children |
have been short-changed, too.
We would be the last ones to
draw the line in depriving them
Of this program.

board disclose the minutes OF
closed meetings.
On the other hand, Mr.. Will
liams said the ruling and the
statutes cited by Mr.. Button
make it clear that the board
must release the minutes OF
closed meetings.
Il don't think there's any
question that the law intended
the minutes to be open," he
said. "The only real question
is the time of release"
Would Inform Public
The minutes should not be
released when premature dis
closure might harm the public
interest,"" he said.
However, Mr.. Ridgely said he
believes that the board is not
required to make the minutes
public. But he will disclose
activities of the board during
closed sessions without releas-
ing the minutes, he said.
He added: Il feel the public
should be told about any mat
ter of public interest at an
appropriate time.
THE closed meetings, which
have outnumbered public ses-
sions in recent months, dealt
with school sites. personnel and
budget matters" he said.

minutes, instead of executive
sessions.
The three decisions were re-
vealed today by City Attorney
V. Floyd Williams, who met
last week with Mayor Frank E
Mann, School Supt. John c.
Albohm, School Board Chair
man German C. Ridgely and
City Manager Albert M. Hair, jr,
Ruling Is Cited
The meeting was called by
Mayor Mann after the school
board had been under fire for
weeks as a result of its refusal
to release the proposed school
budget, despite an apparent
conflict with a ruling by Vir-
ginia's Attorney General Rob-
ert Y. Button,
a Lynchburg dispute, said the
"city council has no control
over the school boards right
to release information nor its
duty to make available for in
spection" the minutes of board
meetings.
Mr.. Ridgely has contended
that a provision of the Alexan-
dria Charter bars the school
board from releasing its pro-
posed budget and that prece-
dent dictates that no school

Most people pay in to Social
Security year after year and
give little other thought to it, >"
Glenn A. Gardner, manager of
the Billings social security o.
flee, said today. They know they
are building protection against
loss of income due to death, dis
ability or retirement in old age.
In most cases this is true, but
what happens if their earnings
are reported under an incorrect
social security number, or per-
haps with no social security num-
Der at all?
Making sure that you get full
credit for your contributions is
one of the major jobs of the So
cial ,ecurity Office, Gardner
said Most earnings which are
Improperly reported are even
tually credited to the correct
social security account by con-
tact with employers. This is both
expensive and time consuming to
the government, and since peo-
pie move and memories are
short, it does not always work.

curity representative, will be in
