Firm Charged In Timber Suit
Judge Leo Carr has issued an order
in Wake Superior Court temporarily
restraining three lumber dealers from
cutting timber in Mark's Creek Town

of the fiscal year have already been
obligated \o other projects, and those
phases of the overall highway program
financed by such funds will proceed as
planned for the remainder of the fiscal
year.
Based on information received from
the State Treasurer's Office, the High
way Bond Program is the victim of
prevailing bond market conditions,
and the red light will stay on for new
bond-financed construction so long as
these conditions prevail.
Each of the 14 Highway Commis
sioners has worked for the past several
years on developing highway projects
to be constructed with funds from the
$300 million bond issue of 1965. In
spite of the planning and design work
which has gone into these projects, the
Commissioners are faced today with
the reality that they cannot be con
structed because the bonds cannot be
sold to finance that construction.
In order to get the green light, to
get the bond program rolling again, it
is apparent thaf one of at least two
things must occur.
There must be a change in the bond
market and a return to the point
where the State's Highway Bonds can
be sold at the legal four per cent
interest rate, or there must be legisla
tive action taken to raise the ceiling
under which the bonds can be sold so
that they -can be sold at prevailing
market levels. The later will require
approval of the people, as well as
enabling legislation. But until some
change occurs in either the bond mar
ket or the interest rate ceiling, the red
light will remain on for the highway
bond program.
ship pending a hearing on charges that
they U9ed "trickery" and "fraud" to
obtain timber rights.
The judge's action came after an
81-year-old Wake County woman filed
a suit for $200,000 in damages against
the lumber dealers.
The suit was filed by Miss Pattie
Lee of Marks Creek Township against
Mr. and Mrs. Percy Lee Barker of
Wake County, Mr. and Mrs. R. M.
Coble of Wilson County and Willis W.
Nash Co. of Franklin County.
Miss Lee contends in the suit that
she is "almost deaf, not alert and at
times unable to understand business
transactions."
Miss Lee says in the suit that Barker
paid her $2,300 for the timber on her
land and then sold it to Coble for
$18,000. Coble, according toJUiss Lee,
then sold the timber to the Nash
Company for $35,000.
All three defendants "knew of the
fraud," according to Miss Lee. She is
seeking $100,000 in damages to com
pensate for the timber and $100,000
v in "punitive damages.'"

... in the fall of 1968, attorneys for
the Department (of Justice) received
information to the effect that many
classes in the defendent school district
had been organized on a racially seg

teaching all-Negro classes and white
teachers teaching predominantly white
classes." The affidavit tells of the FBI
being asked to investigate and says
that in the investigation agents "inter
viewed white and Negro teachers and
pupils assigned to he various schools in
the district, as well as several other
Negro citizens of Franklin County."

Mrs. Whitfield
Named To
Safety Group
State Senator Edward F. Griffin
announced today the appointment of
Mrs. Richard Whitfield of Franklinton
as a District Vice-Chairman of the
North Carolina Women for Highway
Safety. The Senator it a member of
the committee malting the nomina
tions.
In making the announcement, Mrs.
Whitfield is referred to as "a leader in
our county in many programs for the
betterment of our people".
The organization is made up of
women throughout the State who are
very much interested in the highway
safety program in order to reduce the
number of unnecessary deaths on the
highways and the 50-odd thousand
people who were injured during the
year 1968 as a result of drunken
driving, speeding, and carelessness.
A meeting of this most worthwhile
organization will be held in Greens
boro on March 29 for a study of the
great problem at hand.
racial testing."'
The Board of Education has con
tended that all elementary grade pupils
were assigned to classrooms based on
results of a nonracial reading test given
prior to the court order and that first
grade students were assigned according
to maturity and experience as soon as
possible after entering first grade. High
school students attend classes accord
ing to subjects the student selects. The
Board has inspected a number of
schools and individual classrooms in
recent weeks and still maintains its
position that there is no discrimination
in the system.
The government also attacks the
Board policy of charging tuition for
students whose parents reside outside
the state.
