Parents Carrboro Carr Reports Receipt Of Applications But Refuses To Say Number; Board Of Education To Take Up Matter On August 11 Applications for assignment of an unspecified number., of Negro children to the new Carrboro white elementary school have been received by the Board of Education of Orange County. Receipt of the applications Was reported to the Board Tuesday night by Superintendent Paul Carr, who told the members he had written the parents the applications would be con sidered at the next regular meeting of the Board on August n. Carr yesterday at his office refused to say how many applications he had received and seemed from his behavior to attach some significance to the number. Carr's Demeanor When asked by a reporter for the number of such applicants. Carr said "1 don’t want to tell you that.” Asked to repeat the direct quotation to assure accuracy, Carr said. "You can go to the devil. I’ll have nothing else to say about it" Where upon he got up and left the build tng, •* One of the applications, it Is. known, was submitted by Mr. and Mrs. Lee Vickers of Stone Street. Cacrboro.- The couple are said to have a number of children of ele mentary school age. They hava been attending the Northside Negro Ele mentary School in Chapel Hill and i this year will be charged tuition of j $30 per child unless Carrboro cki ’ tens -vote to merge their school dis trict with Chapel Hill's in the elec ! tion next Tuesday. The eiyire asstgi^nent question is being held in abateunent pending the | outcome of the election.

Negroes' requests and sent (Hem on the advice of County Attorney A. H. Graham. No Action j The school board when -Carr brought the matter to its attention 1 discussed the problem briefly but | took no action. He told them he was presenting them as a matter of in formation only pending the August i II meeting. Members of the board are taking the position, apparently from Tues day night’s discussion, that the Ne gro applications are a part of the overall assignment problem affect ing not only Carrbo.ro students but also White Cross’s, and that de cisions on tire assignment question can be made only'after the outcome of the merger election Tuesday' is ascertained. As a related matter. Person Conn ty has reassigned 14 pupils who have been attending school 'in Orange back to Person. Similarly, Orange has a number of pupils w.ho here tofore have attended, in Person and I dthei4" counties. A survey to deter mine the exact situation in this ' field will be conducted.
