Hodges urged the' General Assembly in joint session today to enact a law transferring to local boards complete authority over en rollment and assignment of school children as a first step to retaining segregated schools. The governor disclosed contents of a report toy a special commit tee on segregation and asked ac ceptance of the recommendations as a first step in solution of prob lems created by the United States Supreme Court decision last May outlawing public school segrega tion. The report submitted to him within the past few days, Hodges said, “gives the General Assembly and to all of North Carolina *a starting point from which the state may go forward toward a solution of this problem.” Addressing the lawmakers mo ments before delivery to them of a budget calling for tax increases of $53,063,004, the governor de believe* that the state Is facing a crisis in fiscal affairs.

Judge Lee continued prayer for judgment for two years but not before he gave the defendants a stiff warning that a repeat offense and “you will leave here.” Judgment was continued op five specific con ditions. They were: (1) that the boys are not to go to any public gathering at the Boons Trail School and remain outside except for pur pose of coming and going to the school; (2) that unless enrolled as students in Boone Trail School they are to stay off the school grounds exception when going to and from some valid school entertainment; (3) they are not to use any profane language in or around Boone Trail (pontinned On Page Five) party Greene and his wife gave her unescorted. Greene refused to disclose how Miss Monroe has changed.

C., THURSDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 6, 1955 Funds Needed To Provide New Buildings Harnett County citizens will be called on to support a two million dollar bond issue to meet pressing needs of the county school system. Recommendation that such a bond election be called immediate ly was made by the Harnett Coun ty Board of Education at its month ly meeting yesterday. Coupled with th e request for a bond election was the recommenda tion that a survey of the county’s school needs be made by a survey team from the State Board of Ed ucation. This action was taken by the county board after a delegation of Dunn citizens and members of the Dunn district school board, headed by Dr. Clarence L. Cor bett, appeared and requested such an election. “We think the county should call for a vote on at least two million dollars,” Dr. Corbett told the ooun ty officials, “so that there will be enough money to meet the county’s needs.” CONDITIONS TOLD Dr. Corbett and Dunn Prinbiple A. B. Johnson told of the acute classroom 1 shortage in the Dunn district. Dr. Corbett presented the picture of school children attending classes in partitions, in church basements and others shifting from room to room when teachers have an open class period. The delegation told the board that the Maple Grove Indian School is almost new and adequate to meet present - needs, but that in the Dunn Negrojschool condi tions are extremely crowded and that substandard housing Is being used. One class meets in a closet room, pointed out Dr. Corbett, another meets In a corridor. He said classrooms had even been fashioned in the corners of the school auditorium. As for the white schools of Dunn, Johnson reported, the last new construction was finished in 1951- 52. This space was immediately filled and since then eight teachers have been gained and three more are expected. To take care of the bulging classrooms, he said, parti tions have been cut In many rooms.

His plea for “good will and har monyon domestic legislation as well as in the traditionally biparti san fields of defense and foreign policy,, was the keynote of a gen erally optimistic State of the Union message outlining his 1955 pro gram. Mr. Eisenhower told a joint ses sion of the House and Senate that the condition of the U, S. economy is good and getting better. He was “hopeful of continuing progress” toward durable peace, but admit ted that the current international situation is “merely world stale mate.” The only major surprise in his 6,400-word message was a request for prompt federal action to re lieve an "unprecedented classroom shortage” in the nation’s schools.
