Bowling in turn said there was nothing personal toward Dr. Bluford in bringing iN'e matter to the committee. "I really think he is a fine man." he said. Hines then told him that his (Bowling's) attitude was unusual. "You say you think Dr. Bluford is a fine man, yet in your open charges you accuse him of being consistently dishonest and unethical." Boiwling did not reply. Bowling told the committee < that the technical department oi ^""the school was doomed if the board sanctioned the way the department was being conducted under Dr. Bluford. Among his specific charges the former professor said that "Bluford has reduced his standards and rating requirements until no board would rate the school "A." Dr. Bluford in turn produced the latest rnting sheet, which listed A. and T. as one of sever four-year Negro colleges in North Carolina with an "A" rating.1 Most of the former A. and T professor's specific charges ivert based on the comparatively involved methods the administration handled the technical department of the college. Bowling claimed that he had been forced to operate his- de partment with insuficlent funds and with much of his own equip ment. He said that he had nevei been allowed to choose any equip ment that the college bought foi the department, and that he hat never been consulted in the hir ing of department instructors. A graduate of Bucknell "anc Ohio State Universities, Bowlint pointed out that the engineering department courses there were considered hard, and thai engineering 'courses were thi "snap" studies because of lacl of equipment.

I didn't because I felt that I was fighting for the very existence of the technical department. "I was told by a downtown merchant that 'a Negro can't fix a radio set'." Bowling said. He added that that was'not true if the Negro had the proper training. but that one could not give proper training wiliiuui hit: ijiujjer background were taken into ! the trade school division of the ' college. 1 "You can't turn out englneer1 ing students who will he hired if they have no high school backgrounds." he said.

Police recounted the ups and downs in the McDonald family. The McDonalds are young and there is no doubt, police stated, that in spite of his wife's wandering traits, that the young husband still holds her high in his regard. They had a long conference in police headquarters following her arrest and the young husband promptly came to her rescue. The Negro woman told offi- | cers that when Britt and Mrs. McDonald came to her house neither of them had any money and that she extended them credit for the liquor that she admitted to the police that she sold them, according to statements of the police, as well as credit for the room which she said that she allowed them to use. The woman had never been arrested on liquor charges and her house was not suspected by the police, they stated, until they received a direct tip on which they procured a search warrant and made the raid. Hearing for the Brown woman probably will be held this week. HARVEY JONES RECEIVES CASH IN PEACE OF CAR AHOSKTE, July 24. ?

The International Kiwanis president, Dr. Charles W. Armstrong of Salisbury, looked on as local President Robert Massey gave Jones the check. Massey called it "a gesture of good will to all people."
