They want to purchase he power direcly from the government with the company wheeling it over company lines. . Rep. C. B. Dean (D-NCO, a mem ber of the committee, termed the present situation "unsatisfactory" and said that he was under the impression that the committee wan ted to see a contract of the VEPCO type.' The cooperatives themselves have offered to accept such a con- tract, Rep. Fred Marshall (D-Minn), who was also involved directly in the committee hearings, said that as h understands the committee's stand, if the Carolina Rower and Light Company does not come through with an acceptable contract, funds for a government transmission line will be then considered. The language in the committee's report pointed out that through the inability of the Department of Interior thus far to negotiate an ac ceptable contract for the sale of Buggs Island power to the North Carolina cooperatives, the total es timated loss to the federal govern ment has been $868,000. "This loss will continue to mount so long as the power is sold as dump energy at the rate of only 3 mills per killowatt hour," the report said. Th nower is now being sold to VEPCO. William T., Crisp, executive man ager and general counsel of Tar--p1 Electric Membership Associa tion he cooperatives' statewide trade - service organization tes tified before the committee several weeks ago that the Carolina Power and Light Company said it would "wheel" the power to the coopera tives over three years ago. Tri-County Electric one of the 14 cooperatives which may receive part of the power when a satisfac tory wheeling arrangement is work ed out, serves electricity to some 6200 member - owners in the rural areas of Wayne, Duplin, Johnston, Lenoir and Wilson counties. "We are most hopeful, as a result of the committee's action, that we shall at long last be able to achieve a suitable contract with the Caro lina Power and Light Company on this matter, "Mr. Outlaw said.

Tri-County E.F1C Supports Fight For Bugp Island PovjenRuralCo-op.AppeakJarHeelCongressmen Goldsboro, N. C, June 14 Mr. Lewis Outlaw, president of Tri County Electric Membership Cor poration, said today that Tri-County Electric "Supports fully -the effort now being made to secure power lrom the Join H. Kerr dam for use by North Carolina's cooperatives." Mr. Outlaw, a farmer of route 1, Albertson, said that Tri-Couniy Electric would be able to realize several thousand dolfars a year in power cost savings if "we can only secure some of this cheaper source of electricity which, under Federal luw, we have a right to buy. Tri-County Electric provides elec tric service to 6200 member . own ers in the rural areas of Wayne, JJupnn, Johnston, Lenoir, and WB son counties. Mr. Outlaw said Wiat Tri.Pn, Electric "supports fully the state ment outlining the position of the cooperatives which was forwarded to North Carolina's Congressional delegation last Friday." He was re ferring to a lengthy statement if, uhich the cooperatives charged Ca rolina Power & Light Company with an apparent attempt to "smear" and "through paid advestising to confuse the public and divide our own farm people on this issue." The new appeal to the State's Congressmen came in- the form of a letter and "statement of position" authorized by the executive commit tees of Tafrheel Electric Member ship Associatiqn and Eastern North Carolina Electric Membership Cor poration. Tarheel Electrii, of which Crisp is executive manager and general counsel, is the trade - ser vice organization representing 28 of the state's 32 electric cooperatives, vhich provide electricity to 170,000 lural lamuies. Eastern N. C. Elec- -- CP&L charged last week that Crisp "is simply not telling the truth when he says our company will not wkeej Kerr Dam power to the North Carolina co-ops." In an swer to this charge, the coopera tives said, "we categorically deny that the statements made in this matter by William T. Crisp have been untrue. Mr. Crisp has repre sented us in this matter, as in others heretofore, ably and honestly, and in keeping with our policies. We re gard the apparent effort of the com pany to smear him in this matter as intended not only to confuse the issue but to divide our people in what has been and what continues to be their unified effort to ex ercise their rights as preference cus. tomers tinder the law." The cooperatives mre entitled as preference agencies to buy power at the large Federal dam. In re questing a transmission line study fund of $150,000, they stated to a House Appropriations subcommittee on May 19 that CP&L had not lived up to a promise made several years ago that it would "wheel" the pow er to them over its own ystem. The compfeny was then opposing a self . liquidating Government trans mission tine from the project into North Carolina. . , Referring to numerous charges made by CP&ti In advertisements carried in newspapers during the past week, the statement told the Congressional Delegation "our co operatives and . their : consumer members haven't the financial means, much less the" Inclination, to attempt to Influence public op inion In this maniler.

Smith did not want 1o pick cucumbers and Teachey had pone to talk to him. An argument egsn and Smith took a shot gun from Teachey, and drew it on Teachey ordering him from the yard. Teachey got the gun from Smith but Smith recovered the gun and redrew it on Teachey. Officers were called and Smith jailed, later being released under bond. Duplin General Hospital Opens Second Floor It is announced that the second floor of the Duplin General Hospi. tal will be opened Monday. For the past few days preparations have been under way for the opening of the floor. The second floor will be used for colored patients. Two nurses to join the staff are did, they could never hope to coin ete with the financial resources of this large monopoly utility." The cooperatives also answered -the company's charge that Crisp and T. Foley Treadwav, an electri cal engineer, are "public power ad vocates and that 1 read way "stanos to profit" if Government trans mission Jines are built. Treadway is paid by Eastern N. C, Electric, the cooperatives stated, and his "fees pre in no way dependent upon the outcome of this matter." Neither Mr. Treadway nor hisiflrm, Southern Engineering Company, "weuld pro fit from the construction" of such lines because thev "would be en gineered by the Government's own engineering staff," the cooperatives I said. "We deplore the irresponsible at- tomnt of the company to label as public power advocates" Crisp ana Treadway, the statement continued. "The companv chose to label them nersonally, despite its knowledge that whatever they have said r done in this matter has Seen !n strict accordance with the desires and policies of the corporations which they respectively serve. This r.beling constitutes an obvieusly desperate attempt by the company te persuade the public in general and our own consumer members i particalar that the long struggle to secure Buggs Island power, in stead of being based oa long ac cepted legal rights a.nd principles, is promoted by ulterior motives of a personal nature. In view of the f:ict that the State Farm Bureau Federation, the State Grange, the State Rural Electrification Authority itself and many others have sup ported our efforts, we are frankly amazed that the company couid make such, a charge." Both Senators W. Kerr Scott and Sam J. Ervin, Jr., have expressed support of the cooperatives' effort. Scott i a statement to the H"ii'e and Senate subcommittees on Pub lic Works, asked for an outright au thorization of transmission line funds. Ervin has stated he favors a transmission line study fund if CP&L won't wheel the power to the cooperatives. CP&L has said that the main point in the present disagreement is its unwillingness "to put a Fed eral agency in the power brokerage business by selling it our power for resale to our customers in compe tition with us." The cooperatives cited quotations fiom Senate subcommittee hear ings in 1951 and 1952 which they said showed CP&L had "stated clearly as a matter of record that, if only the Coneress would no -thorize self - liquidating transmis sion lines from this project, the coiu pany would enter into agreements whereby the cooperative wou'i come the customers of the govern- ment for their portion ot this po, Holiness Church, Route 4, Mt Olive, wer and the company would firm Troop No. 288, Boy Scouts of Amcr this power for the government -mi ica, Kinston.

Power Light Company now refus es to do," the statement continues. ; The cooperatives claim' they must receive title to the power directly from the Government if the prefer ence law is to be honored and their rights protected. In their "state ment of position" off the proposals known by them to have been sub mitted ln the matter, they reaffirmed- their willingness to enter int" the same kind of arrangement now in effect between the Government Virginia Electric and Power Com- Births Announced .

Under that arrangement the co operatives, through one contract, purchase power- directry-from -the Government, and VEPCO, through a separate contract with the Govern ment, firms and delivers the power to the cooperatives. CP&L stated last week that, while Crisp's testimony before a House subcommittee on May 19 claimed the VEPCO - served co-ops had aved over $350,000, a supporting exhibit showed saviRprs of only $340,292. The explanation of this ap. 1 parent discrepancy is simple, the cooperatives' stat m;:it said. Tho exhibit showed officially reported savings only through March 1; the I The annual Waller - Williams fam cooperatives had therefore "conser-1 iiv leunion will be held, Sunday vatively increased" the amount June 19 at the B.

The Government "informed us on June 7 that our estimates had been conservative inCeeJ." the Tarheel cooperatives told their Congress men. The crfficially reoorted sav ings realized by the TEPCO - ser- ved co-ops amounted to $371,385 on May 1, nineteen days before Crisp gave his testimony, the state rient continued. CP&L stated last week that the Government had paid VEPCO $650, P00, or 1.4 mSlls per KWH delivered to the co-ops, in wheeling fees, and that rhe co-ops had realized savings of only two-thirds of a mill over their previous KWH rate from VEPCO. "Therefore," the company said, "for each dollar the co-op saved, the taxpayer paid more than $2.00." This company charge, the coopera tives told their Congressmen, is "ob viously untrue." The VEPCO - serv. ed co-ops paid the Government $3, 237,695 for the power purchased, they said.

College Enrpllmenfs Is low In State : (By Presbyterian Junior Colleger Maxton ' "The human resources of the state of North Carolina ar not being developed to the greatest advantage,"- stated Mr. Cecil San ford, Director of Admissions of Presbyterian Junior College, in com menting upon a recent study which shows only two out of three who finished first and second in their IP54 high school classes in North Carolina attended college last year. Only 31 per cent of North Carolina, high school graduates entered col lege for the 1954-55 term. Eight per cent continued their- formal tducation in trade schools and nurA ses training programs, and seven: per cent entered the military ser vice. He noted that the survey, made by Mr. Nile F. Hunt, coordinator off teacher education in the Department oi Public Instruction, accounted for over 75 per cent of 36,000 graduates. The data indicates also that hj degree of stimulation afforded by parents and teachers is often the deciding factor in determining whether high school graduates will go to college.
