"If we ig nore tlie court’s decision De mocracy will suffer,” conclud ed the Rev. Jones. James 11.

Wo j cannot destroy cont-UtuUonal au thority, nor can v, e conceive of integration against our wills. Let us educate and deal with the races separately but fairly. If there is a right for the races to be educated to aether, then it •seems that there is a correspond ing right not to be so educated.” The third speaker. Dr. W. c. George, is a professor at the Uni versity of North Carolina. Chapel Hill, but is perhaps better known as president of the Patriots of North Carolina, Inc. He likened the Supreme Court decision to a Biblical passage and said the de cision was wrong. "Our fate is at stake on the outcome of our han dling of this situation.” He cited the “superiority” of the white man over the Negro. ".Some racial groups are su perior to others,” he said, i he Caucasian race is superior to the Negro race in the cre ation and maintenance of civ ilization. The decision was un righteous because integration would result in miscegnation of the races and may produce a hybrid race incapable of furthering civilization.” R. Mayne Albright.

Dr. Carroll said that if such charges were raised against spe cific persons or schools, available records would reveal a close check. The n-.;i oi Mrs. SteUman's let ter follows: Hite Reason For Integration In North Carolina Since May 17. 1954 there have -’ll many rca.a.-nt: lor arid against ’nlegraiicn. Most of these reasons I have had to do with the atten ; dance of pupils of white parents attending schools where Negro children attend or vice versa. Long before the declaration ol the Unit ed States Supreme Court I have •tudied the pathlctic situation In | the Negro schools In the state I partcularly In Eastern North Car i olina. Here in the east the Negro ! teacher Is being exploited by the i Negro principal. If a poll is made of the schools east of Durham It will be found (hat in nearly every school of any size Negro teachers are required to raise or pay out of their check from SIO.OO to $160.00. in many instances more. fan fatm> teller- f ' j ’ "N jt u " v sorsiy ijne you wme p&uv/l tCr-M’T-' <v& uC'K f&f ntee-s — I— r lir- " tIMOI|IITUfrtrTT"t* ~IT"W»l 1 cp Calling Yourself Tim Naughty Word. Others Will Too.’ In talking to one teacher i , learned that the principal told i the teachers they could pay the' 975,00 or he could get young! teachers that would pay it. When; asked why thirty teachers had ! ■ o pay that amount the teacher was unable to give an answer. In one school in the eastern part of North Carolina a principal gave: his teachers one month to raise; $65.00. in another the principal j told his teachers they could raise j or pay $50.00 out of their check:--. | If they did not want to do that he would ren that they did or else. 1 was not told what tin: "else” meant. In a small town the prin cipal had the teachers to under stand that they would pay for the I new piano whether they wanted i to or not. An unique method is I used by one principal in the cast- | ern part of the state. He does not require his teachers to raise money as such but requires them to collect from the children the many kinds of fees he places on ..lie children. To ail I talked with l usk-d whether or not the. reemd books were checked b> offic ials. Iu most instances I found that they were checked, but I also learned that there ate many ways the principals have of padding their records concerning money raised and spent. In many sec tin ft s where tobacco is raised touchers are required to canvass the fanners for suck;-; oi tobacco, "his tobacco is sold by the principal on the local ma to rn t. The money is said to be ur. a for school equipment, that the state is responsible for. In some counties one or two teachers are given responsi ble positions to serve as a me dium of putting certain d; als over for the principal, in one school tHe principal uses of his teachers to front for him in meetings when money matters come up. I have been informed that this situation does not exist in white schools, so I feel that w.di inte gration our children will not bt neglected by teachers who are required to spend much of their time planning and raising money, for what the principals say the state will not give, MRS.

Another threatening letter war received by W. G. Enloe. Raleigh city councilman. The letters bore no signature. Enloe has supported the new project on the council. it was learned Wednesday that pians are being studied for relocation of the homes situated in the area to be de veloped, Under the plan the “sound” homes would be r, - moved from their present site to a “model community.” Holding a meeting Wednesday at which time the plans were presented for the relocation idea were Yeargin, who favors the pro ject although he lives in the area, Mrs. Inez B. Jones, execu tive director of the Raleigh Hous ing Authoriniy and A. C. Hah., Jr„ planning director. The relocation idea, if approv ed, would work tins way: City Farm property to the south of the proposed housing would be suitable for the small individual homes’. If the city would sell this property for a, small housing deveiopmt tu, it could put restrictions on prisons bidding for the property, so Uml only persons who own Homes and who were willing to move their homes from the project could be eligible. Tlie Housing Authoiity wu V : poll families to find out wham were willing to have their horn removed. The City Buikln r, in spector would go into the area and study houses that the tavnc; ■ wanted moved. He would recom mend which house could stand the strain. Another suggestion is that the homes would be purchased for an average of $3,000 each and could be bought back by (he owner for SSO, The re mainder of the money could be used for repairing the home and making (he atmosphere as the owner desired it. The success of the idea depends on the willingness of the home owners to work together and th* willingness oi the City Council to sell the land and help to cultivate it. The Rev.
