State Commission on Education
Makes
(This is the first In a series of
articles explaining the report of
the State Education Commission
to Governor Cherry and the Gov
ernor and General Assembly of
1949 on conditions in and reco
mendations for North Carolina
Public schools. On the basis- of
this legislators will make finan
cial decisions about the State
school program, decisions which
will vitally effect the education
system In this county Ed).
North Carolina should under
take a six to ten year school build
ing program at an estimated cost
of. $150,000,090 with "as much
as practicable and needed" for an
urgent six year program provided
from state surplus funds, the
State Education commission has
recommended.
The legislative commission said
that the school plant financing
plau should provide for 'annual
state allotments to counties for
capital outlay.
The plan would be based on
need and ability formula which
bases need on the number of state
allotted teachers in the counties,
and local effort on the taxpaying
abilities of the counties.
The Commission said the $150,
000,000 should be spent as fol
lows: sites, $1,500,000; new build
ings, $78,600,000; additions, $48,
000,000; renovation, $12,000,000;
and equipment, $10,000,000.
To replace at least 400 white
and 1,000 Negro school plants
which should be , abandoned, 17,
500 new rooms, plus administra
tive and service facilities, are ne
cessary, the commission found.
These rooms would include 8,500
elementary, classrooms, 2,500 high
school classrooms ' 2,500 special
instruction rooms, Vnd 1,600 large
general wo ma f or Dmis achoote;
Ond J,i00 elementary classrooms,
1,600 high. school classrooms, 1,
500 specif instruction rooms and
1000 large general rooms for Ne
gro schools.
t The' report was signed .by
eleven of the Commission's 18
members. '
A' minority report, submitted
by seven dissenting members, says
that the present plan of having

IILRB Hearing on
Moves ai Iladix
Final testimony in the National
Labor Relations Board hearing, an
investigation of alleged violations
by Madix Asphalt corporation of
federal labor laws, will probably
be heard today, according to attor
neys for the respondent.
The American Federation of La
b'or. in its complaint, alleges that
four Madix workers were discharg
ed for union activity, that Manage
ment interfered with the rights
of the men to o'anize, that they
threatened to shut down the plant
if organization "-s affected, that
they caused rlain employee to
leave the ...ty, and that tin
dix c dtion contributed ' , 10s
tered and dominates " Carteret
Hoofing and Felt EunHuyees' as
sociation. On the basis of these charges,
which Madix demies, NLRB is
making the present investigation.
General counsel for NLRB con
cluded its presentation of evidence
Wednesday afternoon . following
testimony by C. C. Brewen, presi
dent of the Madix corporation.
During the time Mr. Brewen
was on the stand, both on Wednes
day and yesterday, when he was
called by the attorney for the Car
teret Roofing and Felt Employees'
association, the witness said that
he was unaware of . any union ac
tivity, AFL or otherwise, at his
plant until July 29 when four of
the Madix employees were dismiss
ed. Then he said he did not learn
that Ed Parker, Madix superinten
dent, had allegedly made the state
ment to one of these workmen
that the worker was being fired
lor trying to organize labor
"Actually," Mr. Brewen contin
ued, "I didn't know that he had
made such a statement until the
time of this hearing." Mr. Brewen
has been present at each session
of the hearing since its beginning
Oct. 6.
