The topic of his speech will concern ‘Why Charlottesville has been picked by the NAACP and the Red-controlled Supreme Court as the first Virginia city to mix the white and Negro races in its schools . . . how the people themselves of Charlottesville, under the leadership of the White Citizens Councils, will stop school-mongrelism in Charlottesville.’”

“Jaycees Reject Housing Proposal”
Jaycees voted 56 to 15 to reject resolution to “approve and endorse the objectives of the Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority and to support the authority in attaining these objectives.”
William C. Battle, attorney, spoke in opposition:
“Battle told the Jaycees his chief objection to the program is the Housing Authority’s power to acquire all the land in an area defined as blighted, whether individual buildings are blighted or not, then to clear and improve the land and resell it for private use. “He described the power as ‘one of the most flagrant violations of the personal, individual right to own property that I have ever heard of. It will open the way for more politics and more elbow rubbing than you ever thought existed when you come to find out who gets those parcels of land that are to be sold off.’”
