COURTS MT RACE IN 2 jlG CASES Monroe Doctor Must Go To Jaii For AI)ortion RALEIGH — For Monroe’s Dr. Albert E. Perry, who has been fighting B two year legal battle on charges of abortion, it appears that the road has ended in a two to three year prison term. This situation became apparent when the U. S. Supreme Court notified the State Attorney Gene ral here Tuesday* that it had re fused to review Dr. Perry’s case. The physician has been tried twice in Superior Court and con victed each time of performing an abortion on a white woman. The woman testified that she gave •Perry $25 for the abortion. The State Supreme Court grant ed defense motion for a second trial on the ground that Perry’s attorneys had not sufficient time to prove their contention that Ne groes were' systematically exclud ed from jury service. Judge Hubert Olive sentenced Perry to 2 to 8 years in Stanly Superior Court last November and the State Supreme Court upheld the convictoin. The case was then taken to the United States Supreme Court, which Tuesday announced its re fusal to review, Perry was one of a growing band of young militant NAACP officers in Union County. He was closely allied with Robert Wil liams, who was suspended from his post as president of the Monroe NAACP when he advocated that Negroes strike back with violence at whites who had mistreated them. Uis conviction is viewed as a blow to the militant cause in Mon roe. 0— Holt Case Is Turned iwayiy High Court RALEIGH — The movement to place a wedge in North Carolina’s so-far solid “token integration” front was dealt a blow this week by the United States, Supreme Court which refused to review two Integration .bbses which hmer fed- eral courts had refused against plaintiffs. The two cases the high court 'turned away were the Joseph H. Holt case, of Raleigh, and the Montgomery County case. The court held that in neither ' of the eases had the state’s admin istrative remedy l>een exhausted. Proponents of the state's “token integration” program limiting the rate of desegregation hailed the court’s action. They said the action hinted that North Carolina’s way of dealing with the issue would be respected in futufe federal court proceedings. In both actions, plaintiffs’ .at tomeys sought to cut through the series of administrative remedy actions which the state has set up. Pupil assignment laws are the key factors ifi the state plan.

Contestants Darkhorses - week in the Carolina Times Beau ticians Popularity Contest when the votes were tabulated Wednes day noon. Mrs. Laney took the lead over Mrs. Daye, also of Durham, who led by a narrow margin by last Wednesday’s count. Rumors have it that either Mrs. Josephine Holeman, of Hillsboro, or Mrs. Inez Minor, of Chapel Hill, is certain to be winner of the top prize when the final count is made on October 31. Both these contesflSfnts have been reported to be the outstanding darkhorses of the contest and are expected to be heard from as the contest enters the home stfetch. With only two weeks to go, voting in the contest is expected .0 get tighter and tighter each day as customers and friends of the various beauticians rally to the support of their favorites.
