TOMBAY By Cheek Haaaer The possibility of a detail ed Supreme Court decree outlawing segregation in the public schools prior to the convening of the 1967 Gen eral Assembly inspired a 'piece of llth-hour legislation rushed to passage by Rep. J. W. Umstead, jr. The new law requires the county commissioners, upon petition of 15 per cent of the qualified voters of the Chapel Hill school district, to call a special election on the issuance of school build ing bonds and on an addi tional ad valorem tax to bear , the cost. The funds would be used entirely within the Chapel Hill district. The bill was introduced in the House of Repreaenta i tives on May 9 and enacted , into law by the Senate last . week. Carl Smith, chairman of the Chapel Hill school board, said yesterday the board did not request the special legis ' lation, but that it certainly . had no objection to it. Mr. ’ Smith said Mr. Umstead sponsored the measure as a “preparatory" step to meet •njr need# arising from a possible Supreme Court <)»- > cree concerning segregation.
