Public Aid Spending
Increase Is Required
An overall increase in all public
assistance programs administered!
by the County Welfare Department
V’as predicted by Superintendent
Jane Parker at a meeting of the
Board of County Commissioners
Tuesday.
And, members of the Board ex
pressed strong indignation at a Su
perior Coirrt judge’s proposal for
negotiations for a settlement;of :the
county’s claims against a proi)ertj^
owning Chapel Hill Negro woman
who in the last term cf court was
.charged with false pretense in ob
taining nearly $5,000 in welfare
payments.
Chairman R. J. M. Hobbs said
hotly: “I’m not in favor of any com
promise. We've been swindled. We
are entitled to evei7 cent of it
back.’’ Other commissioners ex
pressed similar sentiments.
Solicitor William Murdock ac
cepted a nol-pros on the false pre
tense in favor of a lesser charge
and Judge Raymond Mallard in
structed attorneys to attempt to ne
gotiate a settlement with possible
final disposiion in December.
. Mrs. Parker said the Aid to the
Totally and Permanently Disabled
program is still rising “quite sub
stantially’ as result of rising cost of
hospitalization and the reduction
of the amount of federal participa
tion in the costs.
Maximum Old Age Assistance
grants have been increased from
$54 to S59 and the percentage of
minimum needs which can now be
t'lirnished has risen, to 75% for Aid
to Dependent Children to 85% for
Old Age Assistance and Aid to the
^Tdtaly and .Permanently Disabled.^

"^■vVilfiam S. Newman, protesspr
p£ music at the University, has re
turned from a two-month tPur of
western states, which included re
citals. lectures and teaching en
gagements.
At Washington State College id
Pullman, Prof. Newman conduct
ed a one-week piano workshop.
During the second summer sess
ion he taught graduate courses at
the University of Colorado. While
in Southern California, he had his
first opportunity to perform pub
licly in San Diego on the cele
brated Bosendorfer piano which
was made in Vienna,
Mrs. Newman and their son,
Craig, accompanied him on tlie
tri|f( which also included camp
ing and vacationing at Grand
Canyon and Yellow.stone National
Parks. During the fall Semester
he will have a Kenan leave of
/ absence, working on a longtime
project, his “History of the Sonata
Idea,” which he hopes to complete
this year.
The charge that the Pearsall
Committee should have contain
ed one or more Negro members
w-as also answered by the Gov-
nor in his Tuesday evening talk.
He said that it had never been
reported publicly, but that he
tried in vain to get a Negro
committee to advise the Pearsall
Committee in formulating its
p].3n.s.- As tor appointing a Ne
gro member to the Pearsall Com
mittee itself. Gov. Hodges noted:,
that the bjll whereby this ad--
visory body itself was set up
reoiiiveri that f^ur of its .seven
.members he Legislators. He was
to appoint three others, he .said.
including the Chairman and
Vice-Chairman.
“I considered seriously ap
pointing a Negro,” the Governor
stated. “After much thought and
prayer—and I thought I knew
something of the Negro senti
ment,—I didn’t do it because we
had to get moving.”
“I have talked to many Ne
groes about the school situation.
I have invited them to come
"oack and talk to me at any time
but they don’t do it.
"And Wihile I said it was not
practical to mix this Committee,
I insisted on the appointment of
an equally large committee of
Negroes to advise with this
group. I called them in hut they
said they were not going to co
operate. They said they were go
ing to have integration all the
way or not at all, and they said
' they would have none of it (the
! Committee men1bershi.pl.”
, In pne other reference to this
I .situation the Governor declared:
“Based on my experience with
Negroes I didn’t think they
could stand up under the press
ure (of work on the Pears.all
Committee) and get the job
done.”

Papers ‘Besrriirch Liberalism
Concerning the “few newspapers
that may hare resorted to unfair
journalism in support of their
viewpoint” the Governor declared
that “they are . . . besmirching the
very liberalism they present to
stand for . . .”
Turning to the local situation
he stated: “And this reminds me
of some of the things which
have happened end for which the
1 University of North Carolina has
unjustly received a great deal
! of blame. There are people from
this community who, so far as
I know, have no connection with
the University who have resort
ed to intemperate name-calling {
in their attacks upon people
.’Whose views differ from theirs.
"The University of North Caro
lina has a great tradition and rep
utation for defending the rights of
all people to express their views
however much. they may differ.
That tradition must be kept alive
in all its glory. We welcome dis-
a.greement so long as it does not
resort to demagogu-ery and let us
not blame the University for a
few individuals who happen to live
in Chapel Hill.
‘Must Provide Escape'
Turning to the. possible danger
involved in. the integration situa
tion, the Governor noted that the
receiit incidents, in Tennessee and
Texas “amply demonstrated what
could happen. “To ignore this dan
ger by doing nothing is to risk un-'
-necessarily not only, the public
schocls of our State but also the
public peace. We simply must pro
vide some means of escane for the
destructive pressure behind the

FREE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS FOR
ALL OUR CHILDREN!
NOT A SAFETY VALVE BUT A FLOOD GATE! The Pearsall
Plan does not prevent integration. It does not help private
education. It eliminates freedom of choice for every parent
in the School Unit, And worst of all, it provides means for
the abandonment of our free public schools to the serious in
jury of our children and the future of North Carolina.
