FRIDAY. NOVKMRKR 21. lOfiR HERALD A VP NEWS KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON Governor Of Virginia Opposes Retaliation RICHMOND. Va. IAPI-Gnv. J. Lindsay Almond Jr. says hp is opposed lo any retaliatory policy of closing Negro schools in areas where white schools are locked tinder the state anti-integration laws. He told his news conference Thursday Virginia will continue its fight to preserve segregated public schools, but the state must ctand on a policy of equal treat ment for all. regardless of race. "I want to see as many children as possible, both white and col ored, receive the best we can offer in educational facilities." Al mond said. "Many outside of Vir ginia would feel that it (closing Negro schools i would be a vicious and retaliatory blow against the Negro race. I would not want to be charged with harboring such s spirit." The governor did concede that the federal courts might force some school integration. He said the state "might have to choose new plateaus" in continuing the fight. But he ruled out any thought of naming a legislative commis sion now to draft new laws. To appoint a commission now "would manifest a lack of confi dence in the laws we now have. I have confidence in the integrity of these laws." Almond has said he will name a commission to work up a new legislative program if and when the present massive resistance stiucture is tumbled by the courts. A special three-judge federal court heard testimony on the constitu tionality of the school closing law Wednesday, and the Virginia Su preme Court of Appeals will open a hearing on the constitutionality of the massive resistance pro gram Mondav. State Sen. E. K. Willey of Rich mond, in a speech Wednesday night, nut forth both the com mission-now and clnse-the-Negro- scnonis proposals, tie also recom mended that tax relief be granted lo those who contribute funds to private education foundations. Almond declined comment on the last proposal other than to say he had thought about what he would recommend to a legislative commission, but I am not pre pared to say what my specific plans are. I have some specific ideas, but I would prefer not to discuss them until they become relevant. Nine white public schools are closed under the anti-integration laws six in Norfolk, two in Char lottesville and one in Front Royal. Almond sa'd he docs not have any plans for reopening.

On the row after row of lockers are the familiar combination locks put there early this fall in anticipation of school opening. There is everything except pu pils. The teachers sit at their desks !n the empty rooms. They try to make the day useful by devising improvements in their courses. Heavy Traffic Protest Made PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) Thirty three parents formed two columns that hailed all traftic on busy Powell Boulevard Thursday to protest heavy traffic that endan gered crossing school children.

Shopping Jour With Buyer Tires Editor By GAY PAULEY UPt Women's Editor NEW YORK (UPD One dav spent with a fashion buyer from Birmingham and I was bushed. But Miss Leah Kay was still going strong, on a shopping spree in which she will spend a fortune for coats, suits, dresses, rain coats, furs and cocktail clothes. "When I get so tired I can't take any more. I just go back to the hotel and get in bed with a murder mystery, said the dur able Miss Kay, a buyer for 15 Experiment Not Success PAMPA, Tex. (AP)-This west Texas city's first experiment with the downtown mall streets from which autos are barred was not a complete success. A teen-aged driver, whom police did not identify, crashed through a barrier Thursday, struck a dis played 1959 car, and rammed it into four other automobiles on display. A spectator, Clyde Jonas, suf fered a broken leg when he was pinned between two of the scram bled autos. Police, who said damage was between $1,000 and $2,000, quoted the 17-year-old driver as saying his brakes locked. years for Porlcr's, a junior de partment store in Birmingham. .Miss hay. a tall, attractive bru nette in her 40 s, is just one of the thousand or more buyers crowding the Seventh Avenue garment district showrooms, plac ing orders now for clothes which you women will buy and wear next spring. On this two-week trip, she will spend S197.OO0 (retail value), and some $70,000 of that on suits alone. This, she explained, is one of four or five buying trips she makes each year. Her other big spending season is in June, when she buys for fall. In-bclween trips usually January and August, are for "fill-ins." And, she also orders by letter and telephone, working through the store's resident rep resentative, the Atlas Buying Corp. 1 11 spend two or three times as much on letters and telephone orders as I will this trip." she said, as we worked our way from crowded showroom to crowded showroom. In two weeks, she planned to cover at least 15 suit manufacturers, 10 raincoat, and 50 to 60 dress bouses. It was suit day, the dav T spent with her and we visited six man ufacturers, although she had larted with 11 on her itinerary. We were accompanied on the better-suit buying portion of the day by Mildred Newman, and on the less costly portion, by Betty Davidian. bolh with Atlas. Resident firms, who charge the ctores a fee, have such experts as the Misses Newman and Dav idian in the market every day. keeping tab on what's new, and advising out-of-town buyers on bargains. Miss Kay said she never orders on first visit: she makes a second and sometimes a third call on a showroom before final orders arc placed. She also discusses every order with the resident buyer "we nooge it over." she said of these worry conferences. If I have a bad suit year, I blame Miss Newman," the buyer laughed. "If a good one, I take all the credit." Striking Pilots Discover How The Other Half Lives WASHINGTON U'PII What do highly-skilled airline pilots do when their company is shut down a long strike They find out how the other half lives. About 850 captains and co pilots have been furloughed since a mechanics' strike closed down Capital Airlines 35 days ago. A ll'l survey showed todav that many pilots swallowed their professional pride when their pocketbooks were grounded. Three pilots went from the complicated cockpits of turbo prop viscounts to driving taxi- cabs in suburban Montgomery County. One veteran captain is digging clams along Chesapeake Bay and happily reported he is earn ing $20 a day. "I d rather be flying." he said. ' hut I gotta make a living." Other temporary jobs revealed in the survey: One captain is refurbishing an tiques a hobby he turned into an avocation overnight. Two are working a plant nur sery owned by an Allegheny Air lines captain. Another is painting houses. Several are selling real estate. Five are giving private flying les sons. One is instructing in sea plane flying. Two are working in hardware stores as clerks. At least two are selling insurance and one is a part-time school teacher. All Capital pilots receive $10 a day "subsistence" benefits from their Union, the Airline Pilots As. socalion ALPA. But these benefits fell far short of meeting all their commitments. "You must remember that some of our men were earning as much as $14,000 a year," one pi lot exolained. "Thev have finan. cial obligations in accordance with their normal living stand ards mortgages, car payments, ftp ttO a Hnv tn a man rrtsbinrf I between $8,000 and $14,000 a year is an awtul letdown.
