RASKERVILL Raleigh, Oct. 28—Interest is grow ing steadily in the five proposed new constitutional amendments which will be voted on November 3 and the pub lic generally is talking more about them and thinking more about their provisions than at any time so far, political observers here agree. The proponents of the new amendments are convinced that this increase in public interest is a good sign and that as the people know more about them, the more likely they will be to vote for them and are predicting that all or most of the amendments will carry. The opponents of the amend ments, on the other hand, are con vinced that this increased interest is merely an indication of a better understanding of the dangers con tained in some or all of the proposals and are more than ever convinced that all or at least some of the five amendments will be defeated. The outlook for the adoption of the four tax reform amendments is be coming increasingly bright and we are more hopeful than ever that all of these amendments will be adopted when the people of the state vote on them at the polls November 3,” Dr. Clarence Poe, chairman of the Com mittee for the Tax Reform Amend (Continued on Page Three.) started.

By .1. C. BASKRRVIU, Raleigh, 'Oct. 28. —The State Su preme Court is expected to be the final arbiter in the controversy as to whether the State School Commission has authority to fixe a definite date for the' admission of six-year-old chil dren to the first grade to exclude them from the schools after that date and a test case will probably be start ed on its way the Supreme Court next week. Injunction proceedings have already been brought against two school prin cipals enjoining them from enforcing the regulations of the School Commis sion and temporary restraining orders granted the plaintiffs, with the re sult that the children of these two plaintiffs are now in school, the re gulations of the School Commission notwithstanding. The first temporary injunction was sought and obtained in Greenville, Pitt county, and the second in Burgaw, Pender county. No date has been set as yet for the Green ville case but the Pender county case is set for hearing before Judge Henry Grady in Burgaw on Monday, No vember 2. The belief in informed cir cles here is that Judge Grady will make the injunction permanent, in which case the school principal is ex pected to appeal to the State Supreme Court so that it may decide definitely whether the School Commission has the authority to fixe the school age dates for first grade children. These two cases resulted from the ruling by the School Commission that no children could enroll in the first grade of the public schools this year (Continued on Page Two).
