Woman Educator From Sussex Heads State Board Of Education RICHMOND (AP) A woman educator for Sussex County took the helm of the State Board of Education Friday as her predecessor cautioned Virginia to steer a middle course in public schooling. Elected president ot the board Miss Ann Dobie Peebles of Stony Creek. She succeeded F. Powell Jr. of Rich- who warned that Virginia 'cannot- remain "entirely immune" from the strife which has swept over education in other states.

Miss Peebles received her of arts degree from the College of William Mary and did graduate work in political science at the University of Virginia. This is her second four- year term on the board. Powell, along with former Gov. Colgate W. Darden is stepping down after two four- year terms.

Both men were eligible for reappointment. To succeed them last week by Gov. Mills E. Godwin Jr. were retired Richmond banker Thomas Boushall and Norfolk School Board member Hilary H.

Jones the first Negro to serve on the state board in this century. In his departing remarks, contained in a 25-page prepared text, Powell said Virginia "where restraint and rationality are traditional," has been blessed by an absence of any real militancy by pupils or teachers. But since it is "unlikely" that the situation can be forever avoided, he added, school authorities should consider "appropriate preventive measures." Among these, he suggested barring the militant Students for a Democratic Society from Virginia schools. This organization, Powell said, has "made a mockery of education on some campuses and should never be permitted to establish a cell or chapter in any public school in the Commonwealth." DS already has chapters on several Virginia college campuses. Powell deplored the growing recognition of teacher professional groups as bargaining agents and said such recognition may be "the prelude to strikes or other disruptive sanctions." To combat this trend, the retiring board president said, school officials should make certain that teachers are "fairly treated in terms of compensat- tion and conditions of employ ment."

RALEIGH (AP) About half Jim Burns, public information This was the question posed by the Richmond Leader Friday in the continuing guessing game over the political future of Republican A. Linwood Holton of Roanoke. Holton has frequently been mentioned as a possible GOP contender for the state's top office this year but has yet to say whether he'll actually seek the post.

What he did say Friday was that he had "acquiesced" to plans by district Republican chairmen Weldon W- Tuck of the 5th District and William H. Stanhagen of the 10th to form a Holton for Governor Committee. Asked whether this meant he was bestowing his blessings on the move, Holton insisted that 'acquiesce" was the more precise term. Whatever his present leanings Holton indicated he would have his mind made up one way or another in time for the Republican state convention Feb. 28 in Roanoke.

Edward L. Breeden Jr. of orfolk has moved out as an ctive candidate for lieutenant overnor of Virginia. The 64-year-old Democrat, one the more influential members the Senate, has sent a letter his colleagues in the Senate aying he was "flattered and nterested" at mention of his ame for the No. 2 spot in this Democratic primary for overnor.

Breeden noted the tough three- vay race shaping up for the democratic nomination for gov- rnor and suggested it would be vise not to fragment the party nnecessarily with a scrap for ic second spot. He said he thought the special onstitutional revision session of he General Assembly opening 26 would give the Demo- senators a good opportun- ty to discuss the possible can- lidates for lieutenant governor, urged his colleagues to with- lold any commitments until the Assembly meets. Another likely Democratic tarter for lieutenant governor, itate Sen. J. Sargeant Reynolds of Richmond, said he had received one of the Breeden let- Friday.

He said Breeden had earned the respect of "Virginians through his years of ser vice "and his counsei to mem bers of the Senate has been good advice." In fact, Reynolds said, he was inclined to agree with everything Breeden said in the letter with exception, perhaps, of "his ultimate conclusion" that Breeden would be a candidate. Breeden has been a member of the legislature since 1936 and a senator since 1944. His legis- skills are recognized and he has taken the role of both adversary and advocate to the old line Democratic organi zation. "The Senate membership," hej said, "has more than a passing interest in the person who will je his presiding officer and should play a helpful and unit- ng role. supporting a single candidate committed to help carry forward the considerable jrogress made under Gov.

Godvin's leadership." The Democratic ranks arc pretty well sundered with three candidates in the field for governor Lt. Gov. Fred G. Pollard of Richmond, attorney William Battle of Charlottesville and State Sen. Henry E.

Howell of Norfolk. Brecdcn's letter suggested he would be available for the nomination for attorney general colleagues from the various factions of the party could agree on him and would perhaps not have the same degree of availability if it meant another free-for-all primary battle. In addition to Breeden and Reynolds, Del. D. French Slaughter of Culpcper has been prominently mentioned as a possible candidate for lieutenant governor.
