Attorneys Seek Reopening of Virginia Schools
Attorneys for Prince Edward County Negro students ask a federal judge to order reopening of the county public schools closed since 1959 to avoid court-ordered segregation. County officials may seek delay pending a state court decision on whether the county must fund operations if the county governing body refuses. The judge had earlier ruled the schools could not stay closed while other Virginia schools remained open. Private white and Negro students show contrasting attendance as the desegregation case unfolds.

Other actions included a not guilty plea on speeding, resulting in a $7.50 fine and multiple bonds forfeited for offenses including public drunkenness, speeding, weight at yield, running a red light, illegal parking, and overtime parking fines.
