Voting

blacks, not only accompanied the
blacks into the voting booth, but also
pulled the levers".
He said other voting irregularities
were reported from Franklin and Ber
tie counties.
In this year's new voter registration,
2,690 Negroes registered in Franklin
County, constituting 25.6 percent of
the total registration. There are no
segregated precincts in Franklin and
no method of determining how many
Negroes vote in any given election
except the time-consuming sheet by
sheet count by the Board of Elections,
which has never been done.
Schools
(Continued from Page 1)
It was learned that the Commis
sioners plan a meeting next week
and the School Board has a meeting
slated for Thursday when the Board
will appear in federal court in Ral
eigh for a hearing on its proposed
plan of operation of the school
system.
In other actions Wednesday night,
the Board upgraded assistant Superin
tendent Mrs. Margaret Holmes to an
Associate Superintendent. The move
was made in order that Mrv Holmes
might benefit from a salary increase
offered by the state. Resignations of -
three teachers were accepted and five
new teachers were approved for the
system.
. Suit
(Continued from Page 1)
explained as being that if one provi
sion of the approved plan could be
broken, why not all provisions. A great
deal of time and effort had gone into
formulating the plan and due conside
ration had been given every aspect of
it. according to Board members. The
fact that the OKI ? of Education had
approved the plan was said to be
sufficient to place the Board In the
right. S?veralamendments had been
made to the original plan including the
agreement to desegregate all twelve
grades the following year and the
Board took the position that no furth
er revisions were necessary or desirable
in that school year.
The Negro parents, it was said,
believed they had a right to send their
children to any school and any grade
and apparently did not understand the
reasons behind the Board's denial. One
Board member said at the time that
the Board had to do for one child only
what it could do for every child in the
system and that if all 6,000 students
requested lateral transfers it would
disrupt the entire system.
The differences in 1965 have grown
considerably since that time and in
January, 1966, the U. S. Justice De
partment sought and was granted per
mission to intervene in the case on the
side of the NAACP.
On February 8, 1966, the first of
several court appearances was staged in
Clinton, N. C. and there has followed a
multitude of evidence, testimony and
arguments since. All these have led up
to a hearing on a proposed plan
submitted under order of the court by
the School Board. The hearing is set
for next week.
