The measure, introduced by Rep. Ernest B. Mssei of Canton, and Wiley A. McGlamery of Hayesville, was reported favorably out of the House Committee on Public Welfare. The state is faced with the loss on July of $1.5 million a year in federal funds if all counties do not meet staffing requirements for a special program to half families receiving Aid to Families With Dependent Chilhren (AFDC). The federal government jays 75 per cent of the cost of the AFDC "defined services" program, according to state welfare com missioner Clifton Craig. But a bigger problem, Craig said, is a threat of the loss of $191 million in federal funds for the states entire welfare program if a central agency is not esta blished to regulate the number and qualifications of county welfare workers. The Messer-McGlamery bill passed the House Wednesday and was sent to the Senate. The bill would clearly authorize a state agency to require a uniform ad ministration of welfare programs in each of North Carolina' 100 counties.

Wool Incentive Price Announced The Incentive price level for shorn wool under the Wool Pay ment Program for 1968 has been set at 67 cents per pound, accord ing to Emory Robinson, Chairman of the Madison County Agricul tural Stabilization and Conserva tion Committee.

While the unanimous decision .specifically applied to Virginia's antimiscegenation law, the lan guage of Chief Justice Earl War ren's opinion was so sweeping as to make it clear that similar sta tutes of 15 other states could not . stand under legal attack. Speaking for a unanimous court, Warren said the Virginia law rests solely upon distinctions drawn ac cording to race He added: "The statutes pros cribe generally accepted conduct if engaged in by members of dif ferent races." Citing earlier decisions in racial cases, but now involving inter racial marriage, Warren said the Supreme Court consistently has repudiated distinctions between citizens solely because of their ancestry as being odious to a free people whose institutions are founded upon the doctrine of equality. "The freedom to marry has long been recognised as one of the vital personal rights essential to . the orderly pursuit of happiness of free man," Warren declared. , The Virginia ' case involved Richard P. Cooving, a 83-year-old white construction worker, and his part .Negro, part-Indian . wife, Mildred,, 87. Warren said they were deprived by law "of liberty without due process of law in violation of the due process clause of the. 14th Amendment" to t'.e U. S. Constitution. ' - . . ft.'-';.--. i .. - ..
