Saturday 6:00 p. m. Is it. At
that hour tlie curtain will ring
down on the Carolina Times
gigantic subscription contest,
ending one of the tightest races
In the nearly 40 years history
of this newspaper’s existence.
So close are the 10 top con
testants that it was absolutely
ira^possible at 12 noon Wednes
day to predict who will be the
winners of the brand new Ford
Falcon, the brand new color
television set or the $300 in
cash. Reports were continuing
to come in at press time Wed
nesday and the contest manager
was forced to stop the couirt
exactly where it was at noon
sharp instead of trying to in-
chide all of the reports that
came in after near that time in
this week’s relative standings as
it appears in this Week’s issuo.
There are Indications that
some surprises are in store for
the Saturday 6:00 p. m. dead

shoot the works and hand In
their final reports. Reports

day, Novemlber 3, will count the

of the Carolina Times.
help will be employed to tabu
late the large number of sub
scriptions that are expected to
come in just before the 6:00 p.
m. deadline It will be absolute
ly imi30ssible to determine who
the winners of the three prizes
will be until at least 24 hours
later. These will be announced
in the November 10 issue of the
Carolina Times.
The contest manager has
strong reasons to believe that
some of the contestaitts have
been holding back for the dead
line report when they intend to
spring a surprise he would at
tempt no predictions even as to
which way the wind was blow

At noon Wednesday tabu

Supreme Court To Get City Sit-in Case
NEW YORK — The United
States Supreme Court will hear
the week of November 9th,
argument on seven crucial race
relations cases growing out of
the student sit-in movement.
Jack Gr«enberg, D*ireotor-
Counsel of the NAACP Legal
Defense Fund, said today that
the arguments involve “the
niDSt important civil rights is
sues since the school desegrega
tion cases of 1964.’
The cases Involve demonstra
tions by Negro youths from six
southern states Alabama, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Geor
gia, Louisiana and Maryland.
They will be heard on appeal
from state Courts which have
upheld the convictions.
Greenberg ssiH that the
Supreme Court will allow ten
hours of argument on the seven
cases. The will be heard suc
cessively beginning Monday
morninc, November 5th, with
argtunents expected to conclude
Wednesday afternoon. Green
berg said he expects the Court
to announce its decisions early
next yeari
■ The appeals will question the
validity of state trespass laws
under which most of the 3,000
Ntegro students still under sen
tence for demonstrations were
convicted Greenberg said the
cases go to the heart of the
right of state governmenU to
enforce discrimination policies
of private property owner*, as
in the case of segregated resUu
rants and lumrh ce»int*rs.
‘‘These cases may well indi
cate the future course of pro
test demonstrations against
racial discrimination,” the Legal
Defense Fund Chief added.
