Budget Message Includes Free School Books Raleigh <upi> — gqv. Dan K. Moore proposed today the state spend $107 million more in the coming two years, primarily for education and state employee pay raises, without cutting pro posed allocation or raising taxes. Moore presented a bright eco nomical picture to the General Assembly, showing that there would be $72 4 million more avail able than previously estimated for appropriations in the 1965-67 bi ennium, leaving him $4 2 million short in the General Fund. Moore stopped only one of the proposals he made in his State of-State address, a tax cut which would have cost the state $23 million in the comng two years. The governor said the pay raise for state, employees, 10 per cent across-the-board would cost the state $38.1 million, but only $19 4 million would come from the ’General Fund. He left unanswered dwhere the highway and special funds would come from to pay tor the other $16.6 million needed. Moore suggested, however, that j Members of the assembly look Closely at the community college ogram for possible cuts in pres t allocations. The community olleges would get $4 6 million in pital improvement fundjfa and 1 million in funds for *mgyand :panded services under the re epded budget. > Moore proposed a seven-point program for schools which will cost the state $40.9 million more than is recommended in the pres ent $2.07 billion budget. The ma jority of this, $30 5 million, would go for pay raises for teachers, 5 per cent this year and 5 per cent next year. Instead of reducing classroom size by one student in the first eight grades, Moore proposed re ducing the size by three students in each of the first three grades. He also proposed hiring 85 remed ial teachers for the handicapped J CONTINUED ON PAGE 8) MR.

LEGION CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY — Dunn Post 51 of the American Legion celebrated the organiza tion’s 49th birthday last night with a covered disn supper and an address by State Democrats Chair, man J. Melville Broughton. Pictured left to right are: Mr. Broughton, George W. (Jo Jo) Williams, who had charge of the program, and Commander James Hall. (Daily Record Photo by Russell Bassford.* Says Citizens Opposed To Communist Speakers Broughton For Anti-Red Ban State Democratic Chairman J. Melville Broughton, Jr., of Ra leigh s!aiff at a meeting of the Dunn post of the Ameri can Legion Thursday night that he’s heartily in favor of the law that prohibits Communist speakers from using facilities of tax-supported State institutions. "It’s a good law,” declared the State party chief and I am op posed to ether repealing or amend ing it. “I see no need for repealing or amending this law and have found no sentiment for doing so except a resolution that pops up from some small group now and then.” He said he is convinced that a great, overwhelming majority of North Carolina citizens are solid ly behind the law. ‘‘Despite the occasional outcry of a small group of .educators, I can see no harm that the law has done to our democratic processes of free speech or academic free dom,” declared Broughton. The Raleigh attorney was intro duced by Legionnaire George W (Jo Jo) Williams. He addressed the Dunn Le gionnaires, their wives and guests at a covered dish supper celebrat ing the 49th anniversary of the American Legion. Broughton expressed high praise and appreciation to the American Legion ‘‘for the high service it has rendered in standing steadfastly against Communism and other isms and foreign ideologies.” Commander James Hall presid ed at the supper meeting. Among those present were Alvis Carver, candidate for the post of State Commander; District Commander John Satterfield and State Ser geant-at-arms Belvin Strickland. Broughton spoke along lines of present conditions in America and said, ‘‘I sometimes am led to won der just how much progress our nation is making, especially in the field of human behavior and morality.” From an economic standpoint, he viewed with alarm the high national indebtedness of the coun try as well as the increasing per sonal indebtedness of individual consumers and the growing trend toward the policy of tax, spemt; elect and the spiraling inflation of the deflated dollar. “I am particularly disturbed,” said Broughton. * -.bout the de cline and lack of discipline, espec ially among our young people to day.” He cited college demonstrations and acts of lawlessness by special groups, the increased crime rate, the growing use of narcotics, and general acts of immorality which he said now appeared to be the accepted standard of some groups. Broughton said organizations which have such high ideals as the American Legion can do much to restore a higher degree of moral ity, grater respect for time- hon ored traditions and decent stan dards of behavior. “These things,” said the State Democratic Chairman, “are far more important to the welfare and future of the individual and the nation that even the important economic barometers.” Butler Advocating City-Run Hospital Saturday at high noon is the filing deadline for candidates in Dunn’s municipal primary on April 20 and there was no indication to day of any last-minute rush of candidates. Meanwhile today, Sigmond But ler, candidate for commissioner in the third ward, issued a statement saying that he, too, favors going ahead with erection of a city-oper ated hospital. City Commissioner Bill Cameron said today he is still undecided whether to file as a candidate for commissioner-at-large. Mr. Cameron was elected from the third ward but has moved into another ward and will now have to run at-large if he decides to enter the council race. The number of candidates for each post has been surprisingly small. “I was hoping we’d have a flock of candidates for every office,” said Commissioner Cameron "because the more candidates in the race, the greater choice the voters have." Candidates who have announced and filed to date are: For Mayor: George Franklin Bla lock, incumbent; W. C. Marshburn. For1 Council, Ward One: O. W. (Bill) Godwin, Jr., incumbent, and Walter Dafford. For Council, Ward Three, Slg mond Butler and Cad Upchurch. For the two council_at-large seats; Marvin Johnson, W. O. Pope and Dale West. Mr. Butler’s Statement Following is the complete text of Mr. Butler’s statement regarding the hospital issue; For several days I have made it my business to see and talk with as many citizens as I could, and try to find out just how they felt about the hospital issue. It seems that those I have talked to favor the hospital for Dunn and I am happy to make this public state ment as to how I stand on the hos pital issue. I am one of those 91 percent wha voted for the hospital bond. I was for it then and I have no rea son to be against it now. I am for the hospital and will be glad to discuss the matter with anyone who wishes to talk with me about the hospital. My sole purpose. is to serve the people of Dunn.
