100-Bed Capacity
Future Proposal
For ‘St. Acmes’
RALEIGH A new, modern hos
pital t'iicrilit > is projected for Wake
County citizens instead of anti
quated, overcrowded Saint Agnes
Hospital in view of a proposal this
week that a bond issue be voted
to finance- expansions of both the
Saint Agnes facility and the Rex
Hospital here.
J
In a joint session in May
trustee boards of both Rex and
Saint Agnes Hospitals voted to
ask a public vote for funds to
improve the two hospitals It
was decided that current con
ditions at Saint Agnes made
mandatory an expenditure of
nearly a million and a half
dollars. This amount would
cover costs of the construction
of a facility of HKi to 125 beds,
which would amount to vir
tually a new hospital.
Improvements needed at Rex
Hospital would cost over two mil
lion dollars, the board agreed.
In vteyv of Iheir decisions to
ask a bond issue, the trustee
High Courts Say
Education Unequal
—Decry System
' CHARLESTON, S. C.—(ANP))~A three-member Feder
ourt, Memorial Day, completed hearings on an NAACP
suit demanding the end of segregated schools for Negroes
and whites in the south.
They took the case under advisement, but did not indi
cate when they would make their decicion. Both sides in
the case hinted they would appeal to the U. S. Supreme
i vourt.
ASK END OF SCHOOL BIAS *
Specifically, the suit technically
involves parents of 67 school chil
dren in Clarendon county of South
Carolina and the county school
board and trustees The Negroes
are asking for the end of jimerow
. schools on the basis that no sep
arate school can be eaual. This is
a direct attack on the “separate
but equal" doctrine expressed by
most southern slates in relation to
educational facilities
SIX-POINT CONCLUSION
After three days cl Hearings
boards petitioned the Wake
County Board of Commixsioit
. ers and received endorsement
In a July meeting, the Wake
Board is expected to formally
approve the issue and list mc
eheanies of the actual vote
which is scheduled to he held
in mid or late August.
COST TO BE SHARED
According to the hospital- boards,
a cost of some $3,450,000 is to be
encountered in improvement plans
for the two hospitals Os that
amount, the county will be asked
to provide $2,000,000 and the Fed
eral gove; mneiit the balance
For Saint Agues improvements,
the Federal Medical Care Commis
sion would supply SliO? 200 of the
needed funds and Wake County eit
i/.ens. through the bond issue,
would bear $772,800 of the costs.
NEED IS GREAT
The trustee groups of both hos
pitals admit that the need of im
provement is great at both sites.
(Continued on page 8)
these points were brought out:
1. The plaintiffs believe the
mere act of segregation psy
chologically produces a feej
ing of inferiority into Negro
children,
i. The plaintiffs feel that the
state of South Carolina and
Clarendon county are not sin
cerely intent t« establish
“equal" schools for Negroes.
3. The plaintiffs want segre
gation ended immediately
