(Central Press A Week Of The War Leaders Endorse Constitutional Amendment; Urge Voters' Support In the election on Tuesday the qualified voters of Haywood coun ty and the state will have an op portunity to express their opinion by ballot as to amending the Con stitution, of the state with refer ence to sections 8 and 9 of Article IX, providing for a state board of education. The present constitution provides for a state board of education com posed of governor, lieutenant gov ernor, secretary of state, treasur er, auditor, superintendent of pub lic instruction and attorney gen eral. This is an ex-officio board. The proposed amendment pro vides for a board consisting of the lieutenant governor, state treas urer, the superintendent of public instruction, and one member from each congressional district. Since there are now twelve such districts, this would make a 15-member board instead of a 7-member board as is now the case. The proposed amendment has been endorsed by the Haywood county unit of the N. C. E. A., and by the Haywood county board of association, the North Carolina Congress of Parent and Teachers, the North Caroina School Board as sociation, and many proml nent citizens of the state, have en dorsed the proposition. In fact, there is very little opposition against the proposal in the state. In addition to the present state board of education as provided by the constitution, the general as sembly has enacted legislation providing for three other state agencies which have certain spe cific duties with reference to the administration and operation of the public schools. These three agencies are: The state school commission, the state board of vocational-education, and the state textbook commission. Then, too, legislative provision has been made for a state board of commercial education, which su pervises and controls the opera tion of private business and com mercial schools and colleges. It is the -purpose of the amend ment, if it passes to consolidate education, and local school authori- these five agencies into one tate ties and P. T.

In other words the general control and administration of ne Puhlic school system will be centered in one state board instead of five as is the, case now.

The governor has endorsed the measure. "It is my very definite opinion," he says, "that the rati fication of this constitutional amendment by the Voters of the state will be decidedly for the best interest of our public school system and of the state as a whole." medium filorv and the wound crew at . b.M somewhere bomberV" the plane, return from raid on Ax.s Cl In native boabenthat have been blasting trh base.

The Ssnate bill did not conform with the one passed earlier by the House, however, so the legislation was sent to conference to adjust the differences. Educational deferments in the Senate bill would be limited to high school students in the last half of their academic year. The Senate bill would also defer farmers and farm labor from military service wherever their induction would cur tail agricultural production, until replacements could be found. The bill would exempt men from selec tive service induction after they have passed their forty-fifth birth days. . ed nine German fighters in attacks on the Lorient submarine base and a Naii airdome near Cherbourg, Army Air Force Headquarters in London announced.

THE WAR FRONT Five strong Japanese attempts to wipe out the American foothold on Guadalcanal Island have been beaten off by marines and soldiers at a cost of the enemy of five tanks and heavy casualties, the navy an nounced late October 25. Four at tacks were launched during the night of October 23 and 24, paced by tanks and covered by field ar tillery barrage, and the fifth at tack was thrown back early the next morning. U. S. artillery, fir ing from emplacements in the dense jungle, were credited with a large share of the American suc cess in the first real test of strength with the : Japanese on the island. In fighting at sea and over land in the Solomons area between Octo ber 23-25, 21 Japanese aircraft were destroyed and three damaged, three vessels damaged and two probably damaged, with the loss of One U S. airplane. Earlier the navy reported the destroyers O'Brien and Meredith were lost-in the Solomons as a result of enemy action. General Mac Arthur's headquar ters in Australia announced Octo ber 26 that Allied planes operat ing from Australia in support of American forces in the Solomons have delivered another heavy blow to Japanese shipping in Rabaul Harbor, increasing their total sunk or damaged there to 100,000 tons in three days. A cruiser, destroy er and two Cargo ships were be lieved definitely to have been sunk. Lt. Gen. Stillwell s Chinese head quarters reported American planes raided Hong Kong October 26 for the second time in two days and also dropped bombs on Japanese held Canton. - U. S.

S. flers claimed in Tokyo propaganda broadcasts correspond closely to the names of four missing men, but stated the War Department had no informa tion that the Japanese were fail ing to abide by International Law and the Geneva Convention to treatment of prisoners. Mr. Stim son said "some of the planes" in the raid on Tokyo "encountered bad weather after they eft Japan and were forced off their course. One landed in Siberia. Several others made forced landings at night in China," but no American plane was shot down. He said, "A very few of the crews of these planes are carried on the list of missing. Some may have been forced down by the lack of gaso line in Japanese-controlled terri tory." Later the War Department announced the names of three par ticipants in the Tokyo raid, "un derstood to be missing." The Office of War Information said "secrecy was highly desirable in the hope of saving the lives and securing the freedom of certain crew members who crash landed in areas controlled- by the enemy." Complete examination of the rea sons for maintaining secrecy about the results of the raid cannot be made even yet, the OWI stated. Lives "of great value to the Amer ican cause" would be endangered by "the very explanation," the an nouncement said. RATIONING Price Administrator Henderson ordered nationwide rationing of coffee, effective at midnight on No vember 28, on the basis of one pound each five weeks about a cup a day for all persons who were 15 years of age or older when they registered for sugar supplies on May 4-5. AH retail sales of coffee will be frozen at midnight, Novem ber 21, for the week before ra tioning begins in order to permit mercnants to stock ther shelves. Consumers will not have to register to obtain coffee. They will use their sugar rationing book. To get the first coffee ration, the con sumer will be required to surren der the- last stamp no. 28 in the sugar book. Subsequent ra tions of coffee will be on coupons taken in sequence toward the center of the book. Rubber Director Jeffers reDorted chemists would develop "within five or six months" a 100 per cent syn thetic tire good for all but military ana neavy truck duty, but such tires will be allotted for essential civilian driving only. "Sometime after mid-1943, we ought to have enough synthetic tires to make an aDDre- ciable difference in the situation regarding essential driving. Some- of 2-Way Help suggests you try ran So direction on labot Wickard said meat consumption of 2 pounds a week per person would mean considerably less meat for persons "who have al ways had comfortable incomes" and more meat "for people whose purchasing power has increased only recently," MANPOWER AND PRODUC- -y TION State administrators are re classifying workers on WPB rolls with a view to expediting the pro gram of putting qualified workers into war industry and farm jobs. The order will apply also to all those waiting assignment to WPA. 4,000 experienced miners of cop per and other vitally needed metals are receiving army furloughs to relieve a labor shortage in that category. The men, who are being furlougrhed to the mines as civil ans and who leave the army on a volunteer basis, will be called back to active duty if they leave their jobs at the mines or if the need for them is eliminated, Jie said. War Secretary Stimson said the army is studying a plan to return older soldiers to civilian life.
