Almond, Ex-'Massive R esister/ NAACP Now Fighting On The Same Side By SAMUEL HOSKINS As in the battle of polities, the merry-go-round con­ troversy over public school desegregation in Virginia is Both backing program to save schools making strange bed-fellows. Current school-front events in the Old Dominion are having the heretofore unbelievable effect of moving the NAACP and Gov. J. Lindsay Almond into almost identical positions in the fight to save Virginia’s schools. Gov. Almond, who only a year ago was one of the most vocal proponents of “ massive resistence,” has finally moved into position as leader of the state’s moderates. THE GOVERNOR formally assumed this position when he delivered the commencement speech recently before graduates of the private school at Front Royal which itelf was an offspring of the desegregation controversy. He said he was taking his stand in support of public schools, some integration notwithstanding. This keep-the-schools-open position is identical to that maintained by the NAACP since the early days of “messive resistance” . The NAACP’s latest declaration of its anti-school clos­ ing policy was voiced, last week, at a mass meeting in Prince Edward County where the school board has voted to cut off public schools funds rather than carry out a fed­ eral court desegregation order. Oliver W. Hill, chief counsel for the Virginia NAACP, again pledged the organization to continue its fight against school closing. GOV. ALMOND'S shift did not occur overnight As long Ballot Ban DilemmajRlCHMO PlaguingMississippi ago as last fall, rabid segregationists accused him of be­ ing “ soft” in enforcing the state’s school closing law. The criticism evaporated, however, when as chief ex­ ecutive of an avowed “ massive resistance” administration, the Governor envoked the state’s school-closing law and padlocked schools in Front Royal, Charlottesville and Norfolk. The break with the segregationists re-occurred and be­ came both bitter and political last January following the collapse of “ massive resistence’’ and institution o'f the Gov­ ernor's so-called “freedom of choice” program. In the subsequent special session of the Legislature, the Governor told Virginia lawmakers that some integra­ tion was invitable as there was no legal means of pre­ venting it. HE REJECTED arbitrary use of his police powers on the grounds that a power showdown with the Federal Gov­ ernment was doomed from the start. For this action he was bitterly denounced by both poli­ ticians from Southside Virginia and dead-end segregation­ ists throughout the state. Lynn Shelton, editor of the Halifax Gazette, stated: “ He (Almond) made Benedict Arnold look like a candidate for the Congressional Medal of Honor.” The Halifax Town Council accused him of failing to up­ hold sworn pledges.

The. state is finding it difficult toi prosecute colored persons asi a result of depriving colored! citizens of the right to regis-| ter to vote. To be eligible for jury: duty in Mississippi a person must be a qualified voter. Because there are no 'If pulpit freedom is lost, every other is in jeopardy' CHARLOTTE, N.C. — "If the freedom of one minister is sacrificed, the freedom of us all is in danger. And if the freedom of the pulpit is lost, then every other freedom is in jeopardy." Ernest T. Thompson, Richmond, moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, southern branch, made this statement to the North Carolina Presby­ terian Synod. He referred to the dismissal of the Rev. Robert Mc­ Neill from a Columbus, Ga. Presbyterian church because he advocated "creative contact” between the races to eliminate friction. The Rev. Mr. McNeill’s dismissal should be challenged, said Mr. Thompson. As a result of the tension and strain surrounding his dismissal, the Rev. Mr. McNeill suffered a heart attack from which' he is recovering. PEOPLE The Blackstone Junior Chamber of Commerce stated he traded principle for political expediency. PETITION calling for his impeachment was circu­ lated from an Arlington post office box. It condemned the Governor for not using his police power "to resist the il­ legal encroachments of the Jcwish-Communist controlled NAACP.” Gov. Almond lightly dismissed the petition as “ hate literature." Later he was shocked into full realization of how far his opponents would go when a would-be assassin fired a rifle shot at him as he was leaving the State House. Now the Governor is fully aware of the dangerous po. tential of the opposition, both politically and so far as the future of Virginia’s schools arc concerned. Despite this, he has taken his stand and has indicated that he will take the figljt for schools to the people of Vir­ ginia. In the main, his appeal to the public will be for sup­ port for legislators who support his progrom. The payoff is this: when the real showdown comes the NAACP, which has been so bitterly criticized by Almond, will be among his most staunch supporters.

Francis Pickens Miller, a foe of the Byrd Democratic organization, urged Virginia la­ bor today to give "whole­ hearted and enthusiastic sup­ port” to Governor Almond's present stand in the state's school integration crisis. M i l l e r of Charlottesville spoke a t the second session of the fourth annual convention of the state AFL-CIO a t Tantilla Garden. Milled, who ran unsuccess­ fully for Governor in 1948 and for Sen. H arry F. Byrd’s seat in the United States Senate in 1952, said: "Support the Governor on the one hand, and on the other be very wary of the people who c a l l themselves ‘Defenders.’ Some of them are wolves in sheep’s clothing. "I read with great interest the statements put out at their recent convention in Richmond. Their attack on the leadership of the Christian church was exactly the kind of attack the Communists would want to have made. . . . On this point the Defenders would feel v e r y much a t home in Moscow.” ‘FACING ACTUALITIES’ Since the end of January when he publicly abandoned a policy of massive resistance, Almond "has been facing actu­ alities and talking sense -to the people,” Miller told some 600 AFL-CIO delegates and guests. He said that before Almond learned "what the score is,” the state was passing through "one of the sorriest periods in Vir­ ginia’s long and honorable his­ tory.” The South. Miller said, re­ ceived from Virginia "misinfor­ mation . . . and received rec­ ommendations for a policy of ‘interposition’ and ‘massive re­ sistance’ which well informed men knew to be utterly un­ realistic and misleading. . . .

Boyd, President of Labor Group ; "N or was it a case of the blind leading the blind,” Miller said, "but of men who could see perfectly well, leading the people down a blind alley for reasons of their own. Never in our h i s t o r y has leadership stooped so low and deserved less well of the Commonwealth.” Miller also criticized the edi- torial position of The News X Leader in the school contro- versy. I SPEECH CITED » Miller then cited Almond’s t speech at Front Royal on June • 9 as "the most responsible and r the most statesmanlike utter' ance we have had from a Gov­ ernor since 1954.” • Political defeats suffered by ■ labor in Virginia, he said, "are : not due to misfortune but pri1 marily to the political apathy of your own members. That is a scandal which you should not tolerate.
