The 23 member commission heard his call for more studies while noting one and a half million dollars spent on data over 12 years.

Virginians To Vote Monday Racial school funding referendum drives turnout
In Virginia on Monday about 500000 residents will decide whether the constitution can be amended to allow private tuition aid for parents who keep children out of integrated schools. The move would authorize state funds for private education, a change opposed by many groups including Negro organizations and some labor allies. Debate centers on whether the measure is workable and whether it enables race segregation. Gov. Stanly and other Republicans back the plan, while opponents warn of chaos and increased inequality.
