Her entourage included her 50 pedigreed cocker spaniels. The FBI this morning alerted the North Carolina highway patrol to watch for Mrs. Gray in a two Tone yellow and cream 1957 pon tiac. Agents recovered the pink Lincoln and two moving vans on Thursday at a motel near Green ville, S. C. The FBI said most of the cocker spaniels had been “taken to Con necticut,’' but J. H. Mumford ag ent in charge of the Atlanta office, said she may still have "two or three with her.” Traveling with Mrs. Gray, a frec kle-faced woman with what the FBI termed “cosmopolitan” ways, was her 16-year-old niece, Candice Can dy Lane. Agents followed Mrs. Gray’s con spicuous trail last night to Greens boro, N. C. Continued On Page Three Scores Neglect Of Poor, Indulgence Of Rich Billy Tapped For Own Meeting The evangelist told an overflow crowd of 19.000 persons that ‘‘the members of the crusade commit tee are getting that little worried look on their faces again so I’m going to ask you for money again.” He asked all persons in the au dience who had checking accounts to raise their hands and keep them up. Hands shot up all around the huge oval-shaped Garden. "Now.” Graham grinned, “I want you ushers to hand all these people blank checks.” The ushers did as they were told and every one had a good laugh as they duti fully filled in the blank spaces on their cheeks. While Graham smiled his ap proval, an enterprising usher walked right up to the rostrum and handed the evangelist a check. And while everybody had another good laugh, Graham signed on the dotted line, too. Costs $75,000 Weekly Graham explained that it costs the executive committee more than $75,000 weekly to run his New York crusade. By the time the crusade closes Aug. 10, it will have cost more than a mil lion dollars. i Graham said in his sermon that Americans have “heard the voic es of the diplomats, the historians and the philosophers long enough and it’s high time we listened to God." More people should read and study the Bible, the North Caro lina Baptist minister said, be - cause “today we hear the cry all over the Christian world, ‘Back to Christ, back to Christ,’ but I want to know is what Christ are we going back to?” “Secret Christians,” Graham said, let their neighbors see the outward side of their characters by going to church regularly “and letting your friends look at you (ContlnMd On Page Ponr) Ervin To Offer Three More Amendments WASHINGTON (UP) — President Eisenhower today called the Senate’s jury trial amendment to his civil rights bill ‘‘bitterly disap pointing” and a threat to the entire federal judicial system. In one of the strongest state ments to come from the White House in this administration, Eis enhower said that rarely in the legislative history of the United States had so many extraneous is sues been introduced in Senate debate “in order to confuse both legislators and the public.” The Senate late Thursday night passed by a vote if 51 to 42 an amendment guaranteeing jury trial in cases of criminal con tempt of court, a provision op posed flatly by the President and Senate GOP Leader William F. ; Knowland. After discussing the senate ac tion with his Cabinet this morn ing, the President said the inter position of a jury trial between a federal judge and his legal orders would “weaken our whole judicial system and particularly the pres tige of the federal judiciary.” “In this case it will also make largely ineffective the basic pur pose of the bill—that of protecting promptly and effectively „ gvery American in his right to vote,” he said. Killed Bill’s Chances House Republican leaders said Senate amendments probably have killed the chances for enact ment of any civil rights law this year. They said the House will not ac cept the jury trial amendment, especially when coupled with ear lier Senate action to confine the bill to voting rights only. At the same time, Sen. Sam J. Ervin, Jr. (D-N.C.) announced plans to offer three more amend < Continued On Page Four) Dozen Teachers Still Sought For Harnett School System Superintendent of Schools Glenn Proffit characterized the teacher shortage as po tentially the worst problem in Harnett Schools and said getting teachers to fill va cancies has been more diffi cult this year than ever be fore. “I guess it’s just the old business of competition, supply and de mand,” he said. “We've lost one ol our teachers to Phoenix, Arizona A number have gone to California School will start September 3 anc we still have a dozen vacancies around the county.” However, Superintendent Proffil staff of teachers will be available stated that he is hopeful a full at all schools in the county by thal time. Greatest difficulty, he said lies tei hiring capable instructor in mathematics and science. The pinch in these fields has also beer felt nationally. ‘‘There’s just a very big demand for them,” Proffit said. “A boy who has finished at state college in engineering can almost name his own salary.” Proffit expects enrollment this fall to parallel that of last year and said it will probably run about 13, 000. The Dunn area and some oth er parts of the county, he said, have been gaining regularly in enrollment but rural areas have been dropping off. He attributed this to cuts in to bacco acreage plus retirement of farmland into the Soil Bank. “There are less tenants,” he said, “so fewer children attending school from the rural areas. A lot of fami lies are moving to industrial areas but how many of ours are doing that I don’t know." The total number of teachers in the county will be two more than last year. Number of persons on the faculty of various schools is established according to a fairly rigid formula, based on the appro ximation of 30 pupils to the teach (Continued On Page Four) American Envoy May Be Ousted xia v aina iir — Uovernmenl anger rose today aginst U. S. Ambassador Earl E. T. Smith and there were reports he may be asked to leave the country be cause he visited rebel-held areas in eastern Cuba. Total news censorship, imposed under a decree suspending civil rights for 45 days, veiled military developments in the area. But in Havana, Smith became the target of an unprecedented campaign of attacks by govern ment spokesmen because of his critical comments Wednesday on police precautions in rebel-infest ed Santiago. Informed circles said it was un likely the administration would go so far as to throw him out of Cuba. A Cuban "White House’’ spokes man announced, however, that Foreign Minister Gonzalo Guelt has been instructed to get hold of Smith "for the purpose of dis cussing his unfortunate declara tions in Santiago.” HOG MARKETS RALEIGH (IP) — Kinston, New Bern, Benson — steady at 22 to 22.50, Tarboro 25 lower at 21 to 22, Siler City 25 lower at 21.25 to 21.75.

[ SHARING HER SL.ACKS—There's no argument about who wears the pants in this family—there’s plenty of room in there for both husband and wife.

Now, she can share them with her husband, Sigmund, as shown in this McCall’s Magazine photo. Dr. John R.

(Contlnjed on Page Eight) West Powers Would Swap Inspectors LONDON (UP) — The Western powers offered to* day to open all of Europe and North America to Soviet air and ground inspectors if Russia will admit the West to all Soviet territory. The sweeping plan, presented to the five-power U. S. disarmament conference by Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, was the broad est challenge yet issued by the West in 11 years of stalmated arms cut talks. The Western plan included a flexible clause offering smaller, compressed zones in Europe and North America if Russia balks at throwing open all its vast terri tory. Dulles presented the plan on behalf of the United States, Bri tain, Canada and France with a plea that experts begin “at once” to draw up detailed blueprints.” He said Soviet acceptance of these sweeping safeguards against surprise attack would help create the kind of East — West confiden ce needed for further arms cuts and settlement of major interna tional disputes. The Dulles plan went much further (than the original open Skies plan first propose by Presi dent Eisenhower at the Genova summit conference July 21, 1955. tsig «. oncession 1. It includes all of Canada in stead of just the United States and the Soviet Union—a big con cession. 2. It also might include all of Europe from Ireland on the west to Russia's Ural Mountains in the East. Thiis means the whole of Western Europe about 1,400,000 square miles in return for all of Eastern Europe and European Russia about 2,800,00 square miles. It accepts Soviet Premier Nik olai Bulganin’s demand for ground inspection. International inspection posts would be set up at ports, railway centers, road junctions aiki air fields in all the zones cov ered by open skies. But because Russia previously had objected to including all Sov iet territory under open skies, the new plan provided an alternate. For the U. S. — Canada-Russian zone, it would substitute the Arc tic Circle, an area including sec tions of Canada, Alaska, Danish Greenland and northern Norway as well as Arctic Russia and all of Alaska, a border strip of Can ada and Russia’s Kamchatka Pen insula and Kurile Islands.
