The Governor Northern Vir-

area Democrats better luck in
the November elections.
Gov. AlbertiS S. Harrison
took advantage Of an industrial
plant dedication in Springfield
to meet with the Democratic
Party'S candidates for the Fair
faX-Falls Church seats in the
State Legislature.
Posing with the candidates,
he said he hoped they won't
suffer from guilt by association.
His own association with Mills

victory in Northern Virginia.

The Governor quipped yes

candidates of this area" would
do a better job against the
Republicans on November 5.
Cites AppOintees
He also stoutly rejected a
charge by 10th district Repub-
licans that his administration
is ignoring Northern Virginia.
Gov. Harrison cited a list of
about so men and women from
the area whom he has named
to membership on major boards
and commissions.
Nobody can look over this
list and say Northern Virginia
has been neglected for the last

BALTIMORE, Md, Sept. II
Gov. TaweS predicts tina t
Cambridge residents, weary of
racial strife, will approve a
charter amendment forbidding
discrimination by restaurants.
But his administration al
ready is considering possible
State action should the amend
ment be elected and violence
recur.
From the reports I have
from persons in favor of the
charter, they are more hope
full Of success than they were
two or three weeks ago." the
Governor said at his press con-
ference yesterday afternoon.
Il hope it will pass, and I
believe it will, although it will
be very close, a narrow fight. .
Negro leaders have suspended
mass street demonstrations
pending outcome of the Octo-
Der l referendum on the equal
accommodations law.
Threat If 1t Fails
However, Mrs. Gloria Rich
ardson of the Cambridge Nom
Violent Co-ordinating Commit
tee has warned that If the law
fails to pass, demonstrations
certainly will resume.
A committee of 81 of Cam
bridges most prominent citi-
zenS has mounted a vigorous
campaign to persuade voters
that any renewal of stree t
fighting and shooting will
mean the economic destruction
of the town.

Towes Sees Bias Ban
Vote by Cambridge

The Cambridge Business
mems and Citizens Association,
which claims some 300 mem
bers, this week revived its cam
paign to defeat the charter
amendment.
Asked If the State is devils
ing precautionary measures to
forestall further trouble should
current efforts to achieve ra-
cial peace in Cambridge fail,
Mr.. Tawes said:
I'VE have discussed possible
action we would be called upon
to take in event the amend
ment lost, but we don't want
to talk about that now"
Guard a Possibility
One contingency plan re-
portedly calls for the station
ing of National GuardSmen in
the Eastern Shore town in
definitely.
In other comments, Mr..
Tawes said that Cambridge has
not been excluded from the list
of potential sites for a branch
of the University of Maryland.
He continued to dodge in
dorsement of any Democrat for
the senatorial nomination, re-
marking:
I'm for any good Democrat,
capable Of winning the general
election. We have several
good ones who meet that re-
quirement."
He acknowledged that he has
discussed the Senate race with
Controller Louis Goldstein, but
asserted that he has not urged
him to run.

The Governor and the can

that under the decision of the
Supreme Court of the United
States CVirginia'S seating laws
are invalid and unenforceable."
The lower court DEGREES
were accordingly reversed and
the cases sent back to the
Richmond Hastings Court, Part
II, with directions to issue
its injunctionS requiring
desegregation.
Put Up to Operators
Virginia's segregated seating
law required the operators of
public establishments Ito set
apart and designate" separate
seats for Negroes. 1t also pro-
vided that any person who
fails to take the seat assigned"
or fails to obey the request of
one in charge to change his
seat from time to time as &C.
casion requires" is also a vio-
lator. Both offenSeS were pun
iShable as miSdemeanors, with,
however, a more severe penalty,
reserved for the operator who
fails to obey.
The high court noted the city
of Richmond owns both facili-
ties, although it does not
operate them. The city, the
opinion said, argued that the
actions of the lessees were
private actions requiring segre-
CATION and did not constitute
State action.
The Negro plaintiff argued,
however, the city can neither
segregate itself nor allow any,
one else to segregate itself nor
allow anyone else to segregate
activities on its premises.
The Virginia court disagreed
with the city. In disagreeing it
laid its opinion of what
is private action and what is
public action.

PorochioI Pupils Lose
In School Bus Request

The Prince Georges County
Board of Education has, in eff
feet, denied a second request
for public bus transportation of
parochial school students in
Belair by not acting on it.
Edward T. Conroy, attorney
for a group of st. Plus x Cath
olic School parents, who also
is chairman of the county'S
delegation to the Maryland
House of Delegates, asked that
public school buses carrying
students from Belair to DuVal
High School pick up along their
routes the parochial children of
his clients.
His request. and an earlier
one that was denied August 20,
is based on a 1947 county stat

established school bus routes.
After hearing Mr.. Conroy and
five st. Plus parents, the board
considered the recommendation
Of its attorney, Paul M. NuSs-

Mr.. NuSsbaum recommended
that to grant the request the
board would have to change

COP. Backs
School Plan
For Fairfax
BY CAROL GRIFFEE
Star Staff Writer

Fairfax Republicans have in
dorsed an elected county school
board without taxing power as
part of a 32-point program for
progress" they adopted last
night.
If it isn't possible to have an
elected board-and the Repub-
licans candidly concede they
don't think it is because State
legislation would be required
then the next best alternative
would be the present set-up,
they admitted.
School board members pres
emily are appointed by, and
serve at the pleasure of, the
board of county supervisors.
In a lively debate on the
issue, incumbent Falls Church
District Supervisor Robert c..
Gotten, who is seeking re-elec-
ton, wanted the programs en-
tire school board section de-
leted, saying it might cause
unnecessary difficulty for some
of the Republican, candi-
dates
Mr.. Gotten, a supporter of
the status quo. noted that all
G. o. P. candidates cid not
agree on the controversial issue
and that several county wide
groups, including the Fedora
ton of Citizens Associations
and the Council of Parent
Teacher Associations, bad sup
ported giving tenure to ap-
pointed school board members.
Berge TomaSian, whom Mr..
Gotten helped appoint to the
school board and then later
helped fire last year in a row
over control of school con-
struction, fought for indorse-
ment of tenure. He got no
place.
Other points debated but
adopted by the Republicans in
cluded: Opposition to a poll
tax as a voting requirement;
support for the option of as
Stunning control over the
countys secondary road syS-
tenn and q more equitable
division OF State highway
funds, and a new proposed
city charter for the county to
include "iron-clad" provisions
for determination by all
the people involved in annexa-
ton or incorporation moves.
The Republicans also pledged
their cooperation in working
with towns in the county on
mutual problems.
Other points in the program
were: Abolition of the local

the General Assembly, and a
convention to revise Virginia's
62-year-old constitution.

Boy Hits Officer,

unexpected. The Virginia high
court had little choice.
The decision released here
today was originally expected
in June, but the State court
deferred its ruling, presumably
to take time to study recent
DEGREES of the United States
Supreme Court.
Judges Opinion
In today's opinion, written
by Judge Archibald c. Bu-
chanan, the Virginia court said:
1T is plain on the pleadings
and evidence in these cases
that Richmond Baseball. Inc,

lesSeeS of the Mosque, in sep
arating the white and colored
races and designating certain
seats to be occupied by white
persons and certain seats to
be occupied by colored per-
sons at public performances
therein, were acting because of
and in compliance with the
Virginia segregated seating
law and their actions in this
respect consequently conSti-
tuted State action and were
contrary to the equal protec-
ton clause of the Fourteenth
Amendment of the Federal
Constitution as interpreted by
the Supreme Court"
Note Carolina Case
This referred to the United
States Supreme Court decision
earlier this year in a South
Carolina case in which the
Federal court said that any
State law, presumably includ-
ing Virginia's, requiring segre-
cation of any sort is uncon-
stitutional.

DETROIT, Mar. 80 (AP).--
Republican Gov. George ROM
ney's political leadership will

State Elections Director Rob-
ert Montgomery estimates a

pared with almost 2.8 million

Essentially, Gov. Romney is
pitted against the same oppo-
sition he overcame last fall In
becoming the first Republican
to capture the Michigan gov

is the Democrats and organ
lied labor.

filled by rural voters in some
l,500 townships.
But in revising his vote es-
innate downward by 100000
this week. Mr.. Montgomery
said: "There Just doesn't seem
to be the interest around the
State ! thought earlier Tin the
new constitution and State
wide races. I think local issues
will bring out the voters,
though"
The latter was the opinion
also of Detroit Election Direc-
tor Louis Urban, who forecast
a record spring election vote
Of 100000 in the heavily Dem
ocratic motor city. Detroit's
previous spring record Of $685.
900 was set on April 6, 1859.
1t cast $4,000 in last falls
general election.
Other Detroit Issues
A 500 million school bond
issue, a school tax increase and
a City Council race also are
on the city's ballot. The pro-
posed new constitution how
ever, appears to have en-
gendered no great beat-it spirit
at the voter level in Detroit.
In addition to Gov. Romney
the election also will be a test
of sorts for the new Democratic
state chairman, zolton
Ferency.
With assistance Of organized
labor, Mr.. Ferency last month
took the Craftsmanship away
from JohnrJ. Collins, who. had
the support Of Congressman
at-large Neil Staebler and
other so-called regulars"
There have been public shows
Of harmony since, but there Is
no certain way to measure its
depth.
The Democratic leadership
has been campaigning all-out
against the new constitution.
Gov. Romney and Republican
chiefs favor it.
Candidates for two Supreme
Court seats appear on a nom
partisan ballot, but they were
nominated In Republican and
Democratic State conventions.
The Democratic nominees are
incumbents.
Candidates for the other
eight State Jobs appear on
partisan ballots. To be filled
are the post of State superin-
tendent Of public instruction,
one spot on the State Board
OF Education and two each on
the governing boards of the
University Of Michigan, Mich
igan State University and
Wayne State University.
The proposed constitution
would be Michigan's first new
one in SIS years. If it wins.
Under its legislative apportion-
ment formula, it would con-
tinue, at least through the
foreseeable future, upstate
domination Of both the House
and Senate. Republicans now
control the Senate % to IL and
the House, SO to So.
Former Gov. John B. Swain
son and August Scholle, State
AFL-CIO president, have led
the opposition attack and have
centered their hottest fire on
the proposed apportionment.
Democrat Swanson was un-
seated by Gov. Romney last
November.
While opponents concede the
new apportionment would les
sen rural domination of the
Legislature, they insist the new
constitution would preserve
government by the minority"
and argue that legislative ac-
ton or inaction would nullify
some sections Of the new con- |
stitution they consider worth
while.
Gov. Romney says the new
document, while not perfect, is
a vast Improvement" He also
insists the people have dem
onstrated they do not want
both houses Of the Legislature
elected on a strict population
basis and defends the Senate
apportionment that gives 80 per
cent weight to population and
20 per cent weight TO area.
