Un der the present organization, only the Negro union school In the Frankllnton unit quali fies for ESEA funds, while the white union school does not. Complete desegregation was rejected, Rogers said, because the Frankllnton school board \ "was lnflitenced by the war waged against the federal gulde / lines for desegregation , , . The Bqard began to feel that the federal authorities did not really mean what they said about doing away with the dual system. "We were In the midst of I deciding whether to desegre gate, 10 as to use ESEA funds In both schools, when the 'war* Justice Firemen 1 To Meet The Justice Fire Association will hold Its annual Spring mass meeting Monday night, May 23.

That made us hope that pressure to desegregate w?uld slacken and they would not make us do this (abolish the dual school system.) "So we decided differently. The war over the desegrega tion guidelines caused us to grab the tree choice plan again.'' Rogers said the school board believes that "we are now In gray territory. We are learn ing whether the guidelines mean what they say or something less. We assumed at first that the federal authorities meant It (desegregatlpn) but now the board feels they do not be cause they have granted more time and have require) less than was first Implied." "There Is question as to whether anything will be changed." fie said. Rogers said he personally feels that "Sam Ervln and the others who are doing the talk ing are confusing us with false hopes. We don't know whether we're going to have to do It (abolish the dual school sys tem) or not." He said he tried to get the question straight at a meeting with federal officials In Raleigh a few months ago, because "a lot depends on whether they are talking through their hat." '? That meeting left him con vinced that the dual school sys tem really had to go, he said, but later when State Superin tendent of Public Instruction Dr. Charles Carroll and Gov ernor Moore attacked the de segregation guidelines, "the Frankllnton board responded by thinking that they would win."1 Rogers said the present free choice plan In Frankllnton "looks as though It Is going to yield less integration this year than ltylelded last year."
