At the police station the young man was told to forget the incident on the grounds that he could not prove it, and that more than like ly. the car did not belong to the persons in it. We suppose that any person with the intelligence above that of a third class moron will agree that was an extremely' poor way to handle a case of unsggra vated assault. Why should the po lice attempt to act as the judge in any matter presented to them. Jugdes usually have a pretty good idea who is telling the truth and who is lying in every case before them.

S Supreme Court knocking down 3 southern state's segregation scheme, North Carolina's Attorney General. Mr. Patton, is quick to rush forth with the statement that the decision does not affect this state. Mr, Patton is dead certain that the N. C. School Assignment Act, a measure inacted by the 1954 legislature to circumvent the U. S. Supreme Court’s 1854 school integration order, will be validat ed by that court. Well, strange things are happening these days and you can’t rightly tel! when the unexpected will take place, but if the U. S. Supreme Court cannot see that this act was put upon the statute books of this state merely to evade compliance with its school integration decree then all we have to say is Cod bless the XJ. S Supreme Court and God bless America. In passing, we would like to ask Mr Patton, if, as he suys. the Pupil Assign ment Act will not be cast aside by the U. S. Supreme Court, why was it deemed necessary for the governor to have “his’’ legislature meet in special session to pass j the infamous Pearsall Plan al lowing for the closing of any or j all of the public schools in North Carolina, in case the U S. Su preme Court ruled against the i Pupii Assignment Act. That was 3 whole lot of money thrown down the drain in having i the legislature hold a special ses- : sion ts what they were called to I meet for had already been accom- j plished. It may take a long lime i but we hope and pray to be around ! vb-.u the people of this state will j have their eyes open to machine- s tions of 'he Democratic Party in j North Carolina arid hand it’ th« I defeat it has richly earned.
