In order to bHng about a complete change, —it was polpted out today, it will be Vhecessary to elect a new mayor in the general election. On Tuesday, J. Leon Godwin de feated Commissioner L. L. Coats and W. M. t|piU) Bryan defeated Commissioner R. G. Tart. The old administration Will still have control, however, since May or Hanna would be expected, to break the tie on all Issues in favor of present policies. Under the present setup, with f Hanna as mavor, the two new com missioners would be helpless to bring about the changes favored by the people since Hanna could break the tie. There will be a number of new issues in the campaign • if Vann runs, in view of disclosures since Tuesday’s voting. !A member of Dunn’s city coun cil has confirmed the fact that hfayor Hanna blocked a move last vear to bring Federal officers Into ijflbunn to clean up bootlegging and "other evils here. y? v Under their policy, Federal agents wiiH not come into a municipality unless the local governing body re <lMmM «- mi* w»' School Leaders Tea Cfnilu Dlaha Jo Study Plans * Principals and superintendents of j*hools participating to the Kellog Program, a long range study to bpprove local schools, ’will gather in Chapel Hill on Friday and Sat urday to summarise what lms been Ane this year and outline goals f§- the two coming years.

The President took a highly guarded view toward the Korean situation, but said he was heavy- . hearted as he read stories of bru- Hality and mistreatment of AlUsd troops. Asked whether he thought there was any possibility of a prompt truce in Korea, the President said he could not say because, like the reporters, he is waiting- to see what develops. Another major foreign policy de velopment was his denunciation of any effort to set an inflexible tar (antlnmO on Fare Trtl Search And Seizure Bill Is Debated A bill recently introduced the General Assembly to exempt Har nett County fruta the search and seizure regulations today apparent ly was headed for quick death to committee following strong oppo sition from various sections of the county.

Taylor, Lilllngton at torney immediately circulated a pe tion calling on the representative to rescind the bill. Taylor made it plain tjie oppo sition was not an official action tition calling on the representative Association or any other organi zation', but a spontaneous reaction of individuals. Within a few hours, practically every lawyer in Lilllngton and many other business men and women had signed the petition opposing the suggestion to * nullify the present rules governing search and seizuc?. “This proposal would make a ges tapo out of our policemen and of ficers’’ said Taylor. He added that he realised that the movement for such a bill arose out of several re cent .cases in which Harnett Coun ty courts have thrown out liquor indictments because of the lack of search warrants or because of the. use of search warrants Improperly secured.
