Ap proxiately 40 pupils are in atten dance there. Roland said the visit of C. W. Blanchard, director of the division of operation of plants, state board of education, should not be inter preted as bearing directly on the status of Cornelius Harnett. That school, he continued, will be con sidered along with other county institutions in Blanchard’s annual check. The director is expected to ar rive here in mid-February for conferences with Roland. Follow ing Blanchard’s check of ex penditures for county school plants operations, it is believed that the state may contribute some sum towards costs of operating the Cornelius Harnett plant, Roland said. He added that operation oi the plant takes about $7,000 an nually. Final decision on the Cornelius Harnett matter will be up to the school board. No meeting has yet been scheduled for that body, however.

GALLUP POLL SAYS: Labor Legislation Seen By Voters As Number One Issue Of 1946 Campaign To Date, Neither Party Appears To Have Lost Or Gained Greatly As Result Of Industrial Strife, Survey Shows Following is the sixth of a series of news storifes analyzing political sentiment today regarding parties, candidates and election IlMH !---' By GEORGE GALLUP Director, American Institute of Public Opinion PRINCETON, N. J„ January 29.—The American public, at this time, believes that strikes and labor legislation will be the most im portant issue in the 1946 Congressional elections campaign. This is on the basis of the number of persons naming strikes and tabor legislation as the problem*-— -; :ney Deneve win De tne mam issue next November. Proportionately more Republicans name it the big election issue than Democrats. The Republicans and Democrats vho called strikes and labor legis ation the principal problem were isked which party they think is letter equipped to handle the problem. Voters think their own party is equipped tb do the job letter than the opposition. There s no general feeling that either ;he Democratic or Republican Party is better able to handle the ob. From this it may be deduced that leither party has as yet gained or ost strength as a result of the itrikes now sweeping the country. 3f course, what happens in Con gress and throughout the country >n the question of industrial strife nay very well change this picture n the months ahead. The question used in the survey ;o find out what the voters think ire to be the main issues in No vember: “In the coining Congressional election which will he held next Vovember, what do you think will iie the main issue?” Aside from labor legislation and itrikes, the issue leading the list, with twice as many votes as its nearest competitor, is full (or high) employment. The people who name employ ment as the big issue in the 1946 elections appear to be taking their cue irom a iook mxo xne iuxure. For, apart from people out on strikes, unemployment remains to day at an amazingly low figure. Moreover, a recent survey by the Institute found that only about nine persons in every one hundred named finding a job as the most important problem facing him at the time. It is nevertheless apparently the belief of a substantial segment oi the population that employment is going to loom increasingly im portant between now and next November. Third comes the problem of in flation. What actually happens to this as an issue between now and November will depend in some part at least upon what Congress does about extending, modifying, or eliminating price controls. Taxes and government spending, in sharp contrast to other recent years, are.far down the list of is sues. Institute surveys have in previous years found them high on the list of problems facing the country, in the opinion, of the rank and file. The main election issues in 1946, as given in reply to the poll question: 1. Labor legislation and strikes 2. Full (or high) employment 3. Inflation 4. Reconversion 5. Veterans affairs 6. Housing 7. Military training 8. Taxes COMING NEXT: Starting Friday, the political scoreboard series will deal with President Truman’s popularity. How good a job does the public think he is doing? Do the people of America believe he is going toward the left, the right, or riding down the middle of the road. How do the people rate him? What do they like most about the president? What do they like least about him? The Truman articles will appear Friday, Saturday and Sun day. FARMER’S ROLE TO GROW LINCOLN, Neb.—(U.R)—The Amer ican farmer will become more im portant than ever in national and international affairs in the post war era, Gov. Dwight Griswold believes. With improved farm machinery and methods, the farmer will have more time to devote to participa tion in governmental and civic functions, he explained. Nebraska Farmers Vote To Strike Over Strikes EDGAR, Neb., Jan. 29.— group of 217 Clay county farmers who said they need "farm tools and machinery, bathtubs and re frigerators” last night voted a strike against strikes. In a resolution proposed by V. Hubert Johnson, the group de cided to withhold their farm pro duce from market until the na tion’s industrial workers return to their jobs. Johnson was named head of a committee which will fix the date of the proposed strike The Edgar resolution asserted that farmers here are not "taking sides in the industrial battles,” but added, “we will supply no one but ourselves.” The population of the earth in creases approximately 20,000,000 annually. STATE TO REMODEL CAMP BUILDINGS Addison Hewlett, chairman of the board of county commissioners said last night that the state high way commission plans complete renovation of the county stockade at Wrightsboro for the purpose oi housing state prisoners to work New Hanover county roads. The buildings will be fireproofed This will require tearing out the old floors, both the ground floo: and second story and installing concrete and steel foundations. The roof will also be lifted according to state plans for the building. Chairman Hewlett explained that the roof is constructed of wood sheathing and composition roofing was used. The present plans call for the installation of steel girders and covering with approved fire proof shingles. The chairman said although the fire hazard was small when the county last made use of the build ings, the state deems it neces sary to make these alterations and replacements in order to insure the prisoners who are kept there against any possible harm from fire. County Attorney Marsden Bella my and Chairman Hewlett yester day were making arrangements for the transfer of the property to the state highway department. The board of county commission ers Monday provided for the in sertion of a clause into the deed requiring the return of the prop erty to the county in the event that the state should cease to use the stockade for accommodation of prisoner?; County commissioners were agreed that return of the prisoners to the New Hanover quarters would benefit the county at large since prisoners have been trans ported here from Burgaw daily since the stockade became unin habitable last summer. SHIPPING OPPI ES FEDERAL CONTROL J. T. Hiers, agent of the Wilming ton Port commission, said yes terday that any effort to continue the federal government in the ship ping business, as has been advo cated by the traffic consultant of the Greater Miami Traffic associa tion, will meet opposition by the Wilmington shipping interests. Hier’s declaration was prompted by an Associated Press dispatch quoting Miami’s Thomas E. Grady, cf that city’s Traffic association as saying the five-man South Atlan tic ports committee, of which Hiers is chairman, would ask the Wai Shipping administration to take over shipping. Grady also said the committee would ask the Interstate Commerce commission to inve'tigate whj shipping charges cannot be re sumed immediately. Hiers, who was appointed to the committee at a recent meeting 01 the South Atlantic and Florid? Ports conference, declared yester. day that he was not in accord with the statements as made by Grady. “We were appointed,” he said “to visit steamship companies members of the WSA and Washing ton officials in an endeavor to re turn shipping to private owners anc to hasten the. resumption of coast wise ship traffic.” Serving with Hiers on the com mittee are R. T. Spangler, Miami: Col. M. A. Ramsey, Fort Pierce Fla.; Thomas McGinn, Savannah and H. A. Manning, Charleston. DAILY CROSSWORD ACROSS 2. On the 21. Travel back 1. Feline ocean and forth 4. Clique 3.

SCHOOL ROLLS HOLD UP HERE New Hanover county schools have not been affected to the ex tent which had been anticipated by the climax of ihe war and the reduction in Army and ship yard personnel in the area, H. M. Roland, superintendent of county schools, said last night. Roland said that indications now are that there will probably be no sudden drop in attendance since a large number of families who were employed by the shipyard are now being employed in the area and are keeping their resi dences in or near Wilmington. He said although a recent report disclosed that 6,000 are employed now by the shipyard, as compared with an all-time high of 23,000, a large number of first-graders are expected to help to keep up the attendance at the county schools. Roland said a check of the aver age daily attendance and member ship of schools disclosed a loss of only 225 pupils since the beginning of the 1945-46 term on Sept. 4. His figures included all New Hanover schools, white and Negro. The superintendent pointed out that the reduction in membership was decidedly small, in relation to an enrollment of over 13.000. A much greater decline was shown last spring, he continued, when 600 or 700 pupils left New Hanover schools during April, May and June. That drop, Roland explained, fol lowed a membership peak in the fall of 1944. Roland’s findings came as a sur prise to school officials and towns people who had anticipated the schools’ being greatly affected by reduced operations at the shipyard and the exodus of Army families from this area. 1 Postal Supervisors Plan For Annual Convention CHARLOTTE, Jan. 29.—UP)—The annual convention of the third re gion district association of state branches, National Association oi Postal Supervisors, will be held here Feb. 21-23.
