During his campaign in behalf of the Pearsall Plan last week Rep. Umstead said he would introduce legislation to require this in the coming session of the General As- L?3mbly. These committees would advise with local school boards on any questions concerning integra tion of the races in schools. Sees No Closings “If we should follow this proce dure,” Rep. Umstead said, “there would be very few instances in the state where certain provisions of the Pearsall Plan would have to be used.” The latter is an apparent reference to the possibility of schools being closed to prevent in tegration. Here is Mr. Umstead's complete statement; “In the election last Saturday the people of North Carolina said by their ballots that they liked the Pearsall Plan for trying to solve the problem of segrega tion of the races in our public schools. “It is a well known fact that you (See UMSTEADf Page 8)) 65-Acre Tract Joins The Town J'he third annexation Uiis yeair oi castside territory to the Tovvn of Chapel Hill this week brought the size of the niunicipaliLv to about 2,265 acres. ify niutual c;(msenr a 65-acre trac t on the bypass highway including the Glenwood School has become a part of the incor porate town. Chapel Hill is now al most double the size that it was before the series of annexations' last spring.

Robert Gladstone and Robert Agger, spokesmen for the Housing Group, said the property owners planned to develop this area and build homes on their lots in the very near future. An agreement for extending sewer lines to the now area was also approved by the aldermen. By its provisions the property owm- ers are to install the lines under Towm supervision.
