TUESDAY ISSUE Next Issue Friday Vol. 34, No. 28 Work on Lots Now in Hands Os Engineers Chapel Hill's projected paved parking lots are fig uratively in the hands of engineers and contractors. | Carl Smith of the Chapel Hill Parking Association yesterday that the pav ing of the lots had been de layed while engineers and contractors proposed grad ing specifications and bids. Watts Hill and Bill Sloan, owners of the lot at the cor ner of Rosemary- and Co lumbia Streets, want to low er it before the parking as sociation paves it. They’re awaiting bids from the Nello Teer Construction Company for grading. When the lot is lowered, the paving will be done, Mr. Smith said. As for the parking lot on the American Legion*site on Rosemary Street, .Mr. Smith said engineers had complet ed their survey to determine how much of a retaining wall would have to be erect ed on the back end, and how much grading would lie necessary before surfacing' is done. “We realize people are in terested,” Mr. Smith said, ® ’especially since we an nounced several weeks ago that the surfacing would be started immediately. But we didn’t know then of Mr. Hill’s wishes to lower the property and how much work would be necessary on the Legion site, before we could go ahead with the pav ing.” I*TA Will Hear Art Teacher Thursday W. K. Stars, art teacher at the Durham High School and instructor in art education at Duke University, will speak on “The Necessity of Creative Training for Your Child” at a meeting of the Chapel Hill Par ent-Teachers Association at 8 .pm, Thursday, April 12, in the auditorium ,of the Chapel Hill iementary School on West' franklin Street. His talk will he illustrated by two color movies which he and his students j produced and which show in aj few minutes color and techniques! n radio and TV. Few, if any, people seem to know exactly what the report means and what the pro posed amendments to the state constitution entail. The fol lowing opinions bear this out. Chancellor R. B. House was cagey. “I’m not ready,” he said firmly-. "I glanced at the news papers and it seems a good re port, but I’m not prepared to make a statement on it. I think a lot of people are going to pop off in a hurry saying things about it, but l want to read it: first. I’ll make a statement lat-j er.” University student James Tur-! ner was- a little less restrained. His reaction to the Advisory Committee’s report seemed to be formed from the political in nuendo angle: "I’m intensely disappointed in it," he replied with complete can dor to questioning. “As soon as! I saw who was on the committee 1 saw they had no liberals, and so their report must be pretty much a-foregone conclusion. It’s! nice they still respect the Su-| preme Court, and at least this report won’t give Tom Sawyer and his bunch sufficient grounds to oppose the Governor. And at least we’ll have a semi-liberal legislature next session.” Mrs. Douglas Fambrough’s re action was entirely different. “I think it was wonderful,” she said enthusiastically. “It wasn't ex treme in either direction. It was a frank and forthright report.” Her conception of what the two proposals mean: “The two proposals mean we are not go ing to be extremists and defy the Supreme Court, but we’re going to be sensible and work it out ourselves. I don’t think the grants in aid will be necessary.” Paul Smith, proprietor of the I/Aunate Bookshop, viewed the repqrt from a completely differ ent point. Mr. Smith said, “I don’t know enough about it to know just what it does mean. I gather that the gist of it is that South Carolina business of let ting the people pay for their own education. 1 personally dis approve of it. I think we're go ing to have integration sooner or later, and the more beating about the bush . .” Mr. Smith broke off and waved his ciga rette “All I heard was a short radio resume. I would like to say one thing, though. I’m very much concerned about the effect of all this on Latin America and foreign relations. I’ve just come hack from Latin America and: all that Alabama Miss Lucy busi ness was fMint-page news down there, ( think people who blow off ail the time in favor of seg regation are helping the com mies just as much as they can. It's surprising how much pub licity these Southern politicians’ speeches get down there. And all this publicity is bad for the United States.” i Monk Jennings in Town and] Campus gave his opinion of the Education Report quickly and hard. “I disagree with one thing that guy (Committee Chairman Thomas J. Pearsall) kept saying about how we had to rebuild the school system. He talked like we were back in the dark ages. i| think he’s wrong. I think we have (Continued on page 8) tional amendment should be drawn which would provide: “Authority for the General As sembly to provide from public funds financial grants to be paid toward the education of any child assigned against the wishes of his parents to a school in which the races are mixed—such grants to be avail able for education only in non sectarian schools and only when such child cannot be con veniently assigned to a non mixed public school.” (Note that this section as sumes there will be some mix ing of the races in the public schools; this might amount to only a few Negro children at tending a white school, and objecting parents may seek re lief through the tuition grant clause.) 3. Where voluntary segrega tion breaks down completely, the voters of s school district may bold an flection to abolish their public school system (and, presumably at the same Chapel Mill Chaff L.G. The tops of the trunks of the two giant cedars flanking the entrance to Kay Kyser’s place on East Frank lin street, and the branches all the way down, have been failing for a long time. Kay has known that a serious trimming job was necessary,i and he had it done last week. One part of it put him in high favor with the neigh bors. I’m not sure he even knows about it yet. That is the way he disposed of the dozen or so trunk sections that he had sawed off. What he did was simply to tell the tree-cutters to put them out on the street for any body who wanted them to take away. We, next door, saw them first. They were whopping big, ranging up to a couple of feet in diameter. My wife and I liked the look of them and we liked the fragrance of them. In a few hours four of the sections were scatter ed around our garden, each one standing beside a bench or a chair. They are excel lent for holding glasses, cups, dishes, books, maga zines, or anything else we want to take out into the open, or to sit upon. The Joseph Warrens were another Battle lane family who made a successful raid on the sidewalk treasure. Os course we hope, as Kay Kyser does himself, that the rest of his trees will flour ish so that he won’t need to have sections of them cut away; but, if he ever does, we pray that he’ll put them out on the sidewalk to be pettes on the basis of first come, first served. We’ll keep a sharp watch and try to be sure to be, again, the first comers. ¥ ¥ ¥ I never cease to be as tonished at modern inven tions.

Mrs. Cilli Abraham, vice-con sul of the Israeli Consulate in New York City, will speak on time, they will set up a private corporation to take over the educational functions previous ly performed by the public schools). (The report recommends a constitutional amendment to provide: "Authority for any local unit created pursuant to law and under conditions to be prescribed by the General As sembly, to suspend by majority vote the operation of the pub lic schools in that unit, not withstanding present constitu tional provisions for public schools.”) In other words, the commit tee report says it believes that voluntary segregation will solve most of the problem, that where there is a “little” in tegration parents may resort to the tuition grants if they so desire, and that where vol untary segregation breaks down completely the voters may sub stitute a system of private schools (with all pupils receiv ing tuition grants from the state) for public schools. $4 a Year in County; other ratek on page 2 Nine Candidates Have Entered Democratic Primary in County; Saturday Is Last Day for Filing As of yesterday (Monday), nine candidates have posted their filing fees to the Democratic nomina tion tor county and state offices in the May 26 primary.
