Hie squabble over public hous- I big appeared likely to be settled r by accepting President Bisen - bower’s recommendation as a com promise. The President's proposal more limited than the pending wn. The House-passed housing bill contained no provision for public bousing. The Senate Banking Com imlttee; however, proposed a return i. to the 819-000-unit program first ,- v Adopted In 1948.

The State Board of Education approved 14 school construction projects today and for the first time declined to designate whether the buildings would be used for white or Negro ahildren. Board spokesman announced a new policy of allocating money only for school buildings that will be needed and Used “irrespective of segregation and integration.” The policy took effect at the same time that the board made its first size able allocation of funds from a 50-million dollar school building bond issue approved in a statewide referendum. The group apporevd the blulding committee report calling for con struction of 14 projects a a total Cost of $3,238,000. For the first time such a report failed to designate each project as tor white or Ne gro pupils. Spokesmen said the allocations followed the newly adopted policy of allocating funds from the bond Is sue “only for buildings that win be needed in either event.” The statement apparently indicated that buildings of public schools would not be curtailed pending a decision by top state officials or the Legislature concerning com pliance with the recent U. S. Su preme Court dcision abolishing segregation in the public schools. The state board adopted a reso- lution calling for continued opera ,tlora of segregated schools until the Supreme Court spells out steps for ending separate schools. The board stressed the necessity of making immediate plans for the operation of shcools during the 1954- 55 term and noted that a final de force abolishing segregation was yet to come from the court Sites Favored For AF Academy WASHINGTON W) The site selection commission far the Air Force academy recommended to day that the academy be locafiH at Alton, HL.

The transcripts of conversations read today covered three calls be tween Stevens and Sen. Everett M. Dlrksen (R-ILL), a member of the Senate investigating subcommittee which is now holding hearings on the feud.

SAYS JOE GOT MAD The transcripts quoted the secre tary as saying that Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R-Wis) “got very mad” when Stevens reported to other members of McCarthy’s subcom mittee about a hearing to which Stevens had objected.

Record Staff Writer Harnett County which will surely get a new sheriff this Fall is also going to have to look for a jailer, too. Ken C. Matthews of Llllington who has held this position with that of chief deputy for the past 32 years said today, “I will not be here after my term ends in No vember.” Matthews who finished In fourth place in a heated runoff tor sher iff in Saturday’s Democratic pri mary emerged from his first po- i Utical race with a smile on his face mid the habitual crease In his wen tailored clothes. He was the only defeated candidate in evidence in the county seat. Dick Lasater of Erwin and Claude Moore of Dunn were the candidates who polled the most votes. Only 14 votes separate them. Lasater had 1957 and Moore 1943. Moore is eh titled to hsk fa a run-off but so far no official can fa such a race has reached the county board of elections. He has until Friday night to make up his mind to re quest a second primary. Matthews was the last of the six men to enter the race to fill the vacancy which arose when Sheriff W. B. Salmon let it be known he would not run again—due to 111 health. He polled 1,401 votes with Btaley Spence of Llllington Just ahead of him with 1517. Matthews said “I have no 111 wiU against anyone. I appreciate all my friends and feel the same to everyone.” After 23 years in and around the sheriff** office', Mat thews seldom sees * person he does not already know. Nearly all he calls his friends. He did not specify any of his future plans but added, “I expect to spend some time with Miss Ka tie” referring to Mrs. Matthews who has assisted him with the op eration of the Jail during his long tenure. She Is the person he gives credit fa the high rating the Jail has received through the years. The flower garden plot at the rear is also hers.

Matthews also failed to list the fact that he and his wife have known what it is to struggle with a kitchen equipped only with a coal range in mid summer, leaks In the roof, little help. Now things are better. There are also paid rural police and a two-way radio communication with court house. Matthews admits a leaky roof once tried his wife most. But he also has had some rather big tasks the past year. Frequently, before the county commissioners named paid deputies Matthews and Sheriff Salmon were the only county law enforcement officers in a 40 mile area. When the sheriff became IQ he did what few solicitors a court observers would have believed pos sible, served as Jailer, operated the office on a 24 hour basis, was pre sent at terms of civil and criminal court. “It was Just a miracle, nothing serious happened,” said Matthews. "And he ’ added with a grin, don’t think anyone who called the law in the night failed to get an offica to cane to their aid.” Matthews who has been dubbed “the dean up man” by defense at torneys because of his accurate testimony in sensational trials still enjoys the friendship of his “ten ants” in the Jafi.
