Reports that the Arkansas Legislature may get a proposal to abolish the state's public school system circulated today. Sources said the Legislature might be asked to establish a statewide system of private schools, to be effected -through a state Constitutional amendment. The sources said that if the plan is adopted, state support would be given white and Negro pupils on a per capita basis.

Private agencies would operate all of the state's schools as segregated institutions and a student could choose the school be wanted to attend. NAACP Hits Closed Schools in Virginia Richmond, Va Oct. 4 (AP). The NAACP today brought under legal fire the closing of all nine Virginia schools shut down by Gov. J.

Lindsay Almond Jr. to block integration. The organization filed a motion in federal court seeking the reopening of the two schools closed at Charlottesville. It had previously filed a similar motion concerning the closed Warren County High School and announced that motions on six closed schools in Norfolk will be filed Monday. A court hearing Wednesday was asked.

The motions seek "further relief" in earlier desegregation suits and name local school boards and superintendents as defendants. They appear aimed at preventing employment of regular teachers in segregated private schools.

Orval sey, the Connecticut man driving. Fitzpatrick picked out the same kind of plane, owned by the Teterboro School of Aeronautics, and with no by-your-leave to the control tower, roared off from west taxiway, obvious to the possibili tv of hittinar other planes.

When he knew he was safe, he said his first thought was: "What the hell could you say if they ever pulled you in on a safety hearing for having an accident with an -airplane?" Fitzpatrick's admission of bis second exploit came belatedly. For several hours after he walked into the station house, he denied he had flown the Cessna, and finally confessed he was the pilot only after several witnesses identified him as the man seen walking away from the plane.

Fitzpatrick lives at 442 Jefferson Carlstadt, X. J.

As of this moment, Faubus is tied up in only one legal tangle.
