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

public schools,” the committee
report said.
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

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

his opinion, want to go to the
white schools in the first place,
thereby making ‘intolerable sit
uations’ rare.
“The Negroes in this state have
good schools on the whole. 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.’^
