CHINA REJECTS PROTESTS
Schools Expect
Enrollment Os
Over A Million
RALEIGH OP) North
Carolina’s public schools
face for the first time a pos
sible enrollment of more
than one million children in
September.
Facilities are Inadequate and the
supply of qualified teachers far
short for Such an enrollment, au
thorities said today.
The record number of school
children probably will result from
an unexpected Increase of some
53.700 students over enrollment es
timates for the 1954-55 schhol year.
H. C. West, State Education De
partment statistician, said ft he
Board of Education has noted from
budget estimates an “unusual in
crease” of elementary students dur
ing the last school year. Budget
requests submitted by city and
county schools Indicate that the
increase may amount to 25,000 stu
dents, he said. The Southern Re
gional Educational Board has pre
viously estimated an increase of
28.700 this September.
Nile F. Hunt, co-ordinator of
teacher education, said the high
enrollment is due to an increase
of first graders following an up
surge in the number of births
after World Wfer n. The full im
pact of the high birth rate hit most
of the natlop’s-schools as was ex
pected in the 4952-53 school year,
but did not strike North Carolina
until last year,- he added.
Situation Difficult
* Present, estimates made by the
regional board on figures furnished
by the State Depart
ment show an expected enrollment
of 983,000 children In September
In comparison to an estimated en
rollment of 955,000 last September.
The more recent estimate places
enrollment to 1,008,700.
Hunt said the situation Is "dif
ficult” but not “alarming.”
“We shall need each year for
the next several years roughly
1,600 new elementary and 1,000
new white high school teachers,
and this is a conservative esti
mate,” he said.
However, Hunt added that he
doesn’t expect the supply of new
teachers in September to be any
greater than the 1,925 of last Sep
tember, which was 582 less than
the 2,617 needed as estimated by
the department. There is v no
shortage of Negro teaches, he said.
Need More Classroonw A
John L. Cameron, director ol the
division of school planning, Isaid
“it is safe to assume" that (lass
room needs this year will be Ihni
lar to those in September |1953
when 7,783 new rooms were nsided
at a total cost of $75622,000. jTlie
cost of such facilities as auditor
iums, gymnasiums and lunchroom;-,
was estimated at SUB,27OjOOCU^^
Cameron said his department
has not completed reports on (now
many of the needs were mfs in
the past year.
To meet the cost of school (rear,
the state has sold 20 mllUonStdol
lars in school construction bbnds.
Another 30 million dollars in ljtmds
are to be sold at a time designated
by the State Board of Education.
Counties, at last report, hadysold
$12,815,000 in school constrifctlon
bonds. In addition, about 10" mi
llion dollars from local taxes' are
expected to go toward school *bon
struction.

"Roy thinks he has resigned,”

Cohn he has not and cannot ever

of the committee. I will draw as
heavily as I can on his background
and knowledge of Communists.”
About 2,500 persons attended the

Farouk Is Unhappy ;

ROME (IB—Former King Farouk
of Egypt left a swank nightclub
today to avoid having his picture

“It Is better that I go,” Farouk
said.
Muggs, on a touring vacation
from his television shows, had been
invited by toe management of toe
Belvedere Nightclub for dinner and
a look at the floor show.
Hardly had two oriental belly
dancers started swaying on the

Press Matter
WASHINGTON (IP) Red
China has rejected two
American protests based on
' airplane clashes in which
a British airliner and two
Red fighters were downed
over the South China Sea.
But this government will
continue to press the mat
ter.
State Department press officer
Henry Snydam, who announced
toe rejection today, said the matter
“will not be permitted to r e»t
there.” He would not give any de
tails as to future American action.
Minutes after Suydam first told
newsmen, of the rejection, he held
a second brief news conference to
announc that the two American
notes had been physically returned
by the Chinese—an unusually
brusque aftion in diplomacy.
The notes were originally de
livered to Chinese Vice Minister
of Foreign Affairs Chang Han-fu
In Peiping by British Charge d’-
Affaires Humphrey Trevelyan. This
channel was used by the United
States since it does not have diplo
matic relations with Red China.
Reds Add Insult
, Later yesterday in Peiping, a
Chinese official “handed toe two
aid* memoires notes to a member
of Mr. Trevelyan’s staff, saying
that Mr. Trevelyan had forgotten
to, take them with him,” Suydam
said. U
This Chinese gesture was regard
