The Progress-Index from Petersburg, Virginia • Page 9

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER NEWS By The Progress-Index City Staff This morning we awoke to the strains of the ever-popular "On, Wisconsin." We are not objecting to the brashness of the tune, in fact it was a very nice arrangement for so early'in the morning. It seems--with apologies to Messers Tillery -Fulp in the sports department--that as soon August leaves each year, the football season is upon us. This morning's serenade brought to mind that here it is September 1. Having the ambition--but not the voice, as we are presently suffering from laryngitis--we reserved our cheers until some later date. Probably, sometime on a Sunday afternoon while watching -the Washington Redskins.

Meanwhile, Alden Aaroe, you can serenade us with "On, Wisconsin," morning if you so desire. --THACHER LASCELLE School Bus Routes Listed for Hopewell Bureau) Portsmouth to Miles-, loft on Miles Despite continued lack of enough patronage to make them profitable, the Tri-City Coach will operate schools buses on a trial basis when schools open in Hopewell Thursday.

They were told yesterday that Virginia counties must adopt city ways or face the loss of their best property to cities by annexation.

Members of county boards of supervisors were urged to regulate the development and growth of their counties through plan- commissions, zoning, subdivisions control and an extension of county services. "All counties in Virginia can profit now from some type of zoning, said Dr. W. Gibson professor of agricultural economics at Virginia Tech. "Zoning can forestall an unsightly mixture of junkyards, homes, pigpens and filling stations." County governing bodies should "wake up to the fact" that counties must provide supplementary services such as water systems and sewage disposal for industr- al development, said R.

A. Bowman. Otherwise, said the executive secretary of Augusta County, the area will demand either incorporation or annexation by the-large city it borders. Fire Destroys PG Tobacco Barn Fire destroyed a tobacco barn and its contents on the farm of C. M.

Firemen were called but the barn burned down before the 17-mile run to the scene could be made. Nearby wooded land was by the blaze and firemen turned their attention to stopping that fire.

Pupil Placement Board Rejects Charlottesville Negro Transfers RICHMOND (AP)--The a Pupil Placement Board has rejected the transfer applications of nine Negroes assigned to white schools by a federal judge. The 9 were among 11 Negroes Charlottesville school board assigned to two white schools for Ihe term beginning earlier, rejected all 11. This is a continuation of the board's policy of not a i i Negroes to wJiite schools. Earlier the board had turned down the applications of 29 other Negroes who sought entrance to white schools in Charlottesville. Observers said the action of the- placement board probably not halt integration of Charlottesville schools.

noted that the city school board might ignore the state board's action. Also, they said, Federal District Judge John Paul in all likelihood would direct the city aoard to proceed with integration as planned. A spokesman for the board said the 11 Charlottesville rejections were among 34 applications from Negroes to attend while schools that were turned down within the past week. He gave this breakdown of the other rejections: '13 in Alexandria; 2 in in Floyd County; 1 in Arlington and 6 in Grayson County. The announcement came today Arlington in Northern Virginia began the second year of integrated school operation.

The two Negroes from Galax and the six from Grayson County had applied for entrance to the white Galax High School. A hearing on the matter is scheduled in Roanoke Federal District Court next Tuesday. Sixteen Negroes were scheduled to enter white schools in Arlington today. Twenty-one Negroes are expected to go to white schools when classes begin next Tuesday in Norfolk. Tlie same day nine Negroes are scheduled to enter white schools in Alexandria.

Eighteen Negroes have registered for the white Warren County High School in Front Royal. In Alexandria, Otto L. Tucker, attorney for the Negro children rejected by the placement board, said he will file suit asking Federal District Court to require the school board to admit the children. The board yesterday adopted a resolution requiring local school authorities to notify narents n- volved in assignment decisions. In addition, the three-man board itself will notify parents of deci-.

sions where children seek transfers from one school to another The new regulations were announced after a board meeting yesterday at which the agency deferred action on the applications of two Norfolk Negro children seeking admission to predominantly white schools. Both the notification regulations and the deferment on the transfers were the outgrowth of testimony last wee! 1 at a hearing in Norfolk before Federal Judge Walter Hoffman. At the hearing, board member Beverley J. Randolph Jr. of Richmond admitted the board had des ignatcd no one officially to inform parents of a decisions on transfer requests.

The admission came after Randolph had testified the board has a policy of denying the requests of all Negroes seeking transfers from Negro to white schools. He said the board felt parents of such children should seek an appeals hearing from the board after denial of their applications. Requests for such a hearing must be filed within 15 days after the assignment, and Randolph sai' no Negro ever had appealed. "It's a small wonder you'have no complaints," Judge Hoffman replied at that time. "You never notify anyone of your decisions." Tlie board yesterday directed its executive secretary to ask all division school superintendents to notify parents of future placement decisions.

The board itself will notify only the parents involved in cases where children seek a transfer to or within a school division. The board under the State Pupil Placement Act must assign children entering a public school for the first time, those graduating from one school to another within a school division or transferring or within a school division, and those entering a public school after the start of a semester. The two Norfolk Negro children attended the sixth grade last year in predominantly white elementary schools and were recommended by Norfolk authorities Tor promotion to predominancy white junior hif-'n schools. Judge Hoffman directed Norfolk School Board to admit the children to the white schools when classes begin a week from today with their'permanent assignment to be determined, later.

RICHMOND (AP)--The Virginia State Chamber of Commerce recommended today that the state increase its support of public in stitutions of higher learning. This was one of four broad recommendations contained in a study of Virginia education an nounced by Chamber president H. Will. The three year study was pre pared by the chamber's education committee, of which S.

C. Lamper of Norfolk is chairman. Dr. C. Salisbury of the University of Vir ginia was consultant and workcc with the chamber's research di rector, M.

W. Rhodes. The report has been given the approval of the chamber's boarc of directors. The chamber's stand is in direc contrast to the recommendations of a Virginia Advisory Legislative Council committee on tuition char ges and other matters in state supported institutions of highe learning. That committee, headed by Del James W.

Roberts of Norfolk, sug gested that "the state's share opevational costs should not further increased by possibly de creased." The four recommendations made by the chamber committee 1. Virginia must recognize tha the educational level determine the economic status in a commun ity. 2. Virginia must provide fo more money from tax sources fo the support of education. i should include broadening the tax base and providing additional sources of revenue for the support of public elementary and schools.

3. The state's share in the support of public institutions of higher learning in Virginia should he increased to or above the levels in neighboring states to ensure that Virginia institutions attain as high or preferably higher standards. 4. A better environment for industrial growth needs to be offered in Virginia. This can be accomplished only by offering educational programs in our schools which provide for the needs and capabilities of all citizens.

Lampert placed the responsibility "in a major measure. on the city and county, and then the state. Each city and county must be made aware of its educational level and economic status with a comparative analysis of its position and relation to other like areas in Virginia and other states.
