This Con ference, which is composed of educators and other publiCTspir ited citizens fr.om all sections of the country, was called to consid er wavs arid means -to-solve un met educational needs of the pub lic school systems of the Nation. There is no gainsaying the fact that, the Nation is suffering at this time from serious unmet edu-' cational needs which • arise out of the circumstances that the-pub’ lie school systems of the several states need 180,000 more teachers and 250,000 more classrooms than are presently available. As a re sult of these tragic shortages in ing deprived of their fundamen t il right to an adequate' educa tion at the grade school level. The tragic state of the public school system in the majority of the states cannot be alleviated by any temporary measures. Since the number of children arriving at school" age is constantly increas ing, it is apparent that some ac tion of a drastic nature must be taken if we are to have sufficient /teachers and classrooms in our public school systems. The White House Conference on Education Is .likely to recom mend that the Federal Govern* ment aslist the states in meeting these unmet educational needs. - It is •aitQg&her" likely that the .views of the Conference will coin tax v cicte ivith those expressed by Sen ator Lyndon Johnson, the Majori ty Leader, who 'prophesied some time. ago that Cpngress will au thorise ‘ a school construction program to m«et the needs oi their children.” ? In my judgment, Senator John : son acted wisely tn suggesting* that the Federal Government can best aid the states in this field by assisting then ih the construc tion of classrooms’ As a matter .of fact, the Feder al Government has adopted fis cal policies which hand ice p the states in their efforts to establish and maintain sufficient public school systems. It does : this bv raking mt0 the Federal treasu. v an undue amount of income and exes ... *orimp - -^WWS^irthe and f “e" ^ P,*1icy’ lhe and doeal- communities are co Pelled to rely in Jarge par Property taxes for the support the public school systems.

Place: Lee County court house, Sanford. Object: Contin ued segregation, Lee County is near the center of North Carolina and its citizen ship typical of the people wlio go to make up the great Tar Heel state. ■(■■■' ■ That more than 300 people at tended the first county Patriots meeting with 151 people joining up after the rally is most sigpifi .can],/Taking part in the meeting -feaffeSVeTf - tKe Lee ,County government, aftd the Democratic party. Two weeks ago this column suggested that the "Patriots” might well become a much more formidable force in Tar Heel politics, than some peo ple though' The Lee County ral ly strongly bolsters this line of thinking. * HOT AND COLD ... Specula tion as to, whether Henry Jordan will run for governor next year blows hot and cold. For two or three weeks the political barome ter readings seehi to indicate that the former Highway Chairman under Scott will be in there fight ing Then the weather man’Will" change. The last reading was that the rhaneds were dimishing that he would run. but the barometer readings can change many times between ppw-and the filing dead line in March, 1956. Sentiment seems.to be that the likely guber natorial candidacy of Waldo Cheek in tile event Jordan does not run would not prove too for midable. LIEUT. GOVERNOR .... It now appears pretty certain that Rep. Alonzo Edwards, of Greene County will 6e a candidate for Lieutenant Governor. Word is Liat former Senator Edwin Pate of Lraurinbung would like to have the State's number two job. Pate and Oscar Richardson of Union County are members of the same conservative gfoup in the Demo cratic party and both wj^uld not be expected to run! Chances are slEftng that Edwards will have opposition from the conservative wing of the party even though he has often worked with them in the past. However, he is expected to have strong farm support even over Pate who is one of the state’s largest ^farmers. In addition ^tcK being a large farmer and land , owner, Pete is a leading banker, merchant, industrialist and cap italist, and a mighty level-headed man with it. He will most likely not enter the race unless he feels that, he has a better than even chance of winning, and he will ~ <t'rtanr|y'7iTn^T~a"tTj'fm1dablrTOTr^ tender if he enters regardless of the others in the. contest. -:-........ . -. if ' SIXTH DISTRICT .... A hard . light is p:edicted in the sixth district race for congress where State Senator Ralph Scott of'Ala mance County has announced for Congress in opposition, -to Con gressman Carl Durham of Orange County;‘Generally speaking an in cumbent congressman doing an . average job is a mighty hard per son. to oust. Despite th? fact that Durham was the compromise man selected by the sixth dist. ict con gressional committee in 1938 af ter the iegular nominee died, and was not considered a strong man at that time, he has grown great ly in stature during his 16 years in congresS^and is now vice chair man of the / Important Atorriic Energy Committee, and if the Democrats continue in control of ~~ i,ngr<-‘Ss after the 1956 elections will then be Chairman if he can beat out Scott in the primary. * ( I SITUATION ...
