* THURSDAY. JULY 12. 1956 THE PILOT—Southern Pines, North Carolina Page THIRTEEN ■U' WITH THE ARMED FORCES Army Specialist Third Class John W. Dtuilap, son of Mr. and Mrs. James H. Dunlap, star route, Carthage, took part in the 18th Infantry Regiment’s Organization Day ceremonies at Fort Riley, Kan., June 22. Part of the 1st Infantry Divi sion, the regiment celebrated its 95th birthday with a parade and athletic competitions. A squad leader in the regi ment’s Company I, Specialist Dunlap entered the Army in 1942. He holds the Combat Infantryman Badge, Purple Heart and the Good Conduct Medal. Dunlap, whose wife, Ruth, lives in Junction City, Kan., was a farmer in civilian life. U. S. farmers placed 300 million pounds of the 1955 peanut crop under support programs. Moore IjCgislators View Special Session (Continued from page 1) ed in the Pearsall Committee’s report of April 5, 1956. The committee recommended that (1) public funds be made available to parents to send their children to private schools when their children cannot be con veniently assigned to a non- mixed public school, and (2) that authority be granted for any lo cal unit created pursuant to law and under conditions to be pre scribed by the General Assembly, to suspend by majority vote the operation of the public schools in that unit. . . In making the report the com mittee suggested that North Car olina would not support integra ted public schools. “The General Assembly would withhold sup port to a degree that the result would certainly be the ruin and eventual abandonment of the 9 HIGHEST CASH PIUCES PAID FOR Pulpwood At Our Yards At Cameron WE BUY FROM A TRUCK LOAD TO A CAR LOAD Get our quotations before you sell.

In the past two or three weeks several prominent leaders in North Carolina have voiced res ervations about the committee recommendations which will, in all probability, be used as a basis for the proposed constitutional amendments though several mem bers of the committeee said noth ing definite had been decided. One, Irving Carlyle, a former State Senator, differed with the committee’s belief that the public would not support mixed schools with tax money. The legality of using public funds for children to attend private schools, he said, is “extremely doubtful.” The executive committee of the North Carolina Congress of Pa rents and Teachers (PTA) said two weeks ago that any bill which would abolish the state’s compulsory school attendance law would strike at the very foundations of the public school system. R. Mayne Albright, an out standing attorney of the state, one-time candidate for governor, and now president of the Univer sity of North Carolina, Alumni Association, has taken a similar stand along with Carlyle and the PTA. What about Moore County’s representatives in the Legisla ture? Currie, who was a State Sena tor in 1943 and 1947, and a mem ber of the House of Representa tives in 1945, was appointed this year to take the place of resigned J. Hawley Poole of West End. He has not had a great deal of time for serious thinking about the Pearsall Report. He is personally acquainted with most of the members of the committee and has said he is con fident that the conrunittee has given much time and study to the problem that the Supreme Court decision brought on. “The problem is far-reaching and, I would assure you, the state has not had a more serious one in my lifetime,” he said Idst week.. “As it stands right now, I would be inclined to go along generally with what the commit tee recommended in its initial re port.” Senator Currie said, however, that it was his impression that the committee had made no firm recommendations as to the exact wording that any constitutional amendments might take. He is a strong supporter of Governor Hodges and feels the Governor has taken the right course in ap pointing a committee to study the \ McLean’s Style Shop ABERDEEN Our Sale Continues WEEK-END SPECIALS CHILDREN'S DEPT.

C. REPRESENTATIVE BLUE entire school segregation prob lem. Blue, who was a member of the General Assembly’s Constitution al Amendments Committee and the Education Committee last year and consequently will be on the same committee again during the special session, has, on the other hand, given a great deal of time and study to the committee report. “There is no doubt at all in m.y mind,” he says, “that the public school system of North Carolina will be saved. I am not in agree ment with the Carlyle approach to the questions that the Legisla ture will be faced with later this month.” Blue said an act passed by the Legislature last year, the Pupil Assignment Act, will be a trem endous factor in solving the seg regation problems and keeping down controversies. Under provisions of that act a commrmity that wants to inte grate the public school system will be allowed to. The act, which also strengthens laws regarding supervison of non-public schools by the State Department of Edu cation, will Blue thinks, probably do more to cope with the problem posed by the Supreme Court de cision than will the proposed leg islation which will probably be presented to the special session of the Legislature. “In my opinioA,” he said, “there will be very little use made of private schools in the state, no matter what the legisla tion. School officials will first make use of the Pupil Assign ment Act, which allows district school officials to assign pupils to other schools within the county.” Asked about the possibility of some schools being closed be cause of “intolerable situations Blue said that Negroes won’t in DANIEL.

Some of them are better than the white schools. Others will get better,” he said. The Pearsall Report represents “sound thinking” to the veteran legislator. “The first report they made, which outlined the diffi cult problems the state is now faced with and tentative recom mendations to solve those prob lems, was a good approach,” he said. “So far as the proposed legis lation that the General Assembly will be asked to consider, I can not comment because I haven’t seen the proposals. “But I intend seeing them and studying them at one of the area meetings the committee and Gov ernor Hodges called. “There might be some changes suggested in any such proposals. I expect there will be. And I know there will be comments and suggestions.” Neither of the legislators would hazard a guess as to how long the special session would last. Cur rie said he hoped it wouldn’t last long, but that full and complete study should be given the propos als. Blue said he was hopeful the session would be over in a week, but was doubtful that it would be. “We shouldn’t rush such legisla tion, however,” he said, “and if the people want hearings, they should by all means have them. The problem belongs to every one.’^ "Close Your Eyes and You're Eating in Italy" —only at— NAPOLI REAL ITALIAN RESTAURANT . Murdocksville Rd. PINEHURST, N. C.
