Mcacham of Fort Worth and other friends of Chipps'. There were tears of joy and also ; tears of another kind from other eyes when the simple verdict of "not guilty" watf read in loud tones by S. A. Philquist, court clerk The tears of joy were those of Nor ris and his wife. As soon as the ver dict rang out, Norris stood at his ; seat. There was a wan smile on his lips, but he showed no emotion until his attorney, Marvin Simpson shook his hand. Ho embraced Simpson and} wept. The other tears were in the eyes of j a small, brown-eyed boy who had sat throughout the trial at the side of the state. He is Dexter E.

The verdict came after 11 days of argument and testimony which was j ended with a heated appeal by Wit- ^ liam P. McLean of Fort Worth, one of the special prosecutors, who said, as he pointed his finger at the jury, "if you send him put to kill again, he's your criminal, not mine." *1 call him the pistol-packing par-! son,^ shouted McLean and these words were ringing in the defendant's ears as the jury filed out Mr. H.

Legislature Given Report of Governor's Education Commission Seven Members Favor 8-Months Term by Legislative Enactment, 5 by Constitutional Amendment—AM for 8-Months' Term but Differ as to Best Method. LEFT UP TDLEG1SLATLRE. Raleigh, Jan. 26—(INS)—The Leg islature today heard the recommenda tions of Governor McLean's Educa tion commission for an eight months' schooi term. The 1! members of the commission viewed the additional two months of schooi as a necessity, but the 269 page report left it up to the General Assembly whether the lengthened term should be put into effect by Leg islative enactment or Constitutional amendment The majority report, singed by sev en members of the commission, recom mended that the eight,months' term be brought about by Legislative enact ment, providing for revenue to sup port the two additional months. On the other hand, the minority report, with only five members' name attach ed, maintained that the issue should be brought before th(, voters them selves. Against Amendment. "We can find," the majority report said, "no support for the theory that a Constitutional provision is in any tvay essential to the extension of our public school term, and we believe that some freedom and elasticity for the exercise of the Legislative will have an advantage over a Constitutional requirement for a minimum school term." For Amendment. The minority report favored the adoption of the Constitutional amend ment as the best method of extend ing the school term as "logical be cause it is Democratic, and the Dem ocratic method is the North Carolina method." The following names were attached to the majority report - J O. Carr, J Y. Joyner, J. K. Norfleet, Edgar W. Pharr, Stanly Winbourne, Sam C. Lattimorc and N. O'Berry, while the minority report carried the signature of Mrs- J. A Brown, Mrs. E. L. McKco, Mrs. James G. Fearing, C. E. Teague and T.
