North Carolina love the Negro race,

to place before the General Assem
bly in 1955.
Several methods ,of raising the
money were discussed, in four
groups. In the assembly : before
Barden spoke, a,-, .review of the
group meetings was presented. The
Congressman, commenting" on the
possibility of more ' taxes, said,
will never believe' the people of
North Caroliiie.aTe4- willing to
pay for a good education for their
children. Barden who wOl head
the house of Representatives Edu
cation and tabor Committee in

there Is a place for the Federal Gov
ernment in education, but thinks
the situation should be approached
with care in order "not to wipe
out state lines with Federal aid to
schools.'' ' 1 -
"The Universal Military Training
Program will probably come be

he said. "The position I will take
