S—SECTION THREE •* PAGE SIX This is the Law Br ROBERT E. LEE |t«l the N. C. Bar Association) MARRIAGES May first cousins enter into a valid marriage in North Carolina? A North Carolina statute for bids the marriage of double first cousins. The marriage of first cousins, other than double first cousins, is permitted. If two brothers marry sisters, the children of these two marri ages would be double first cous ins. The same result would be reached if a brother and a sister should marry the opposite sexes of a brother and sister in another fhmily. Maya white person and a Ne-1 gro enter into a valid marriage in North Carolina? No. A North Carolina statute prohibits all marriages between a white person and a Negro or be tween a white person and a per son of. ftegro descent to the third generation. Every person who has one-eighth Negro blood in his veins is within the prohibited degree. There have been no United States Supreme Court decision' dealing with interracial marri ages. It is a criminal offense in North Carolina for a white person and a Negro to marry. It is also a criminal offense for a register of deeds to issue to them a license or for a minister or justice of the peace to marry them, knowing them to be within the prohibited degree. The marriage is utterly null and void, and if they cohabit together they may be indicted or a criminal charge of fornicatior and adultery. Any children born of a void interracial marriage are illegitimate. Who may perform a marriage ceremony in North Carolina? A marriage ceremony in North Carolina must be performed by an ordained minister of some re ligious denomination or a justice of the peace. .There is a special provision in the North Carolina statute giv ing validity to the rite of marri age among the Society of Friends (Quakers'), according to the form 1 and custom peculiar to them selves. Are witnesses required for a marriage in North Carolina? No. Witnesses are not requir ed. Only the couple to be mar ried and the person performing the ceremony are required to be present. I)bes North Carolina require a medical examination prior to the obtaining of a license to marry? Yes. The register of deeds is not allowed to issue a license to marry without presentation of a physical examination certificate from a physician showing free dom from veneral disease, tuber culosis, epilepsy and insanity.

American Weekly Magasine in Coloryxarure with the % BALTIMORE ■ NO COMMENT •r _ JMMINNM Washington—Recent Soviet sci entific developments are being utilized as the basis for an in tensified propaganda campaign on behalf of federal aid-to-education. Congress twice rejected in 1957 and 1957—proposed legisla tion to permit the Federal Gov ernment to take part of what have commonly been regarded as the proper functions of the states and localities in the school con struction field. Because of these two defeats, it looked very much as if federal aid-to-education was a dead is sue for 1958—until the Sputnik launching provided a new prop aganda tool. This was the con tention that the United States must speed up scientific education and, to do this, Federal appropria tions are essential Obviously, Federal-aid advo cates are seeking to us* the Sput nik “scare” to facilitate the suc cess of the “foot-in-the-door” technique. It would work like this: If they could start their Federal-aid program under the Sputnik stimulus, they would have a “beachhead” established from Kvhich they could wage their battle in future years for vastly expanded Federal appropriations. Federal-aid opponents contend that this line of reasoning over looks the most important issue; whether there is any need for Federal intervention. They main ta in Ah ere is none. One of the basif*reasons for the defeat of Federal aid for school construc tion was the fact that the states and localities were solving the problem—and there was no reas on for encroachment in that field by a Federal bureaucracy already far too big. Likewise, no case has been made that the states and locali ties are unable to meet the needs for scientific education. There fore, there is no necessity for the Federal Government to invade this field of activity. Industry believes in the time honored principle that the deter mination, administration and con trol of education rests properly with local communities and not f\n*iann\ m • :W ; : for Hie finest I : regular-price gasoline: • • 1 TEXACO • : FIRE CHIEf • : : • Fire Chief gives you long mileage and lively • power, fast starts and warm-ups, and smooth, • ’sure get-aways. * * A ® Fire Chief is the only regular-price gasoline f ♦ 100% Climate-Controlled and available in all • • 48 states.

This includes elementary, second ary and higher education. Industry maintains that control of public schools should remain in state and local hands, close to the people and responsive to their wishes and needs, and not be transferred to a central govern ment authority. One of the big items involved is the additional administrative costs in a program handled from Washington—instead of at the lo cal level. For example, a city gets Federal funds for low-cost housing. For every dollar that the Federal Government “gives” the city, the taxpayers must pay nearly $1.40. And the total Fed eral grants-in-aid program for this year requires about $5 billion of the Federal budget The Eisenhower Administration has initiated a program intended to return to the states and locali ties as many as possible of the functions now performed by the Federal Government. Also in volved is a study of what tax sources can be shifted from the Federal Government back to the state and local level. As a part of this enterprise, a group of state governors, repre senting the Governo’rs Conference proposed recently that the states assume responsibility for public school construction instead of looking to Federal aid. In return, they asked (among other things) for the right to collect local tele phone taxes. Backers of states’ rights con tend that this trend should be en couraged—and it- would be un thinkable to let the Federal Gov ernment get a foothold in the ed ucational domain. Another reason why this should not be done is that private or ganizations, including the Na tional Association of Manufactur ers, are doing far more than the Government could do to stimulate the improvement of educational facilities and expansion of scien tific education.
