Governor Advises Funds To Help State Ports In his budget message to tne* General Assembly last Tuesday, Governor William 6. I'nutead call ed (or the appropriation of addi lional funds for the operation of the North Carolina porta. "Unless import and wport trade is developed at the Morehead and ; Wilmington ports," be said, "[hare ' will continue to be annual deficits which will have to be paid by the ' stale. To develop this trade, skill ed personnel and advertising are absolutely necessary." The Governor also urged the leg islature to apropriate funds "for making an engineering study for Ihe development and untilization of inland ports and waterways In Eastern North Carolina." Such a study has been advocated by the Coastal Marine council. Bond Issues The most discussed portions of the budget address dealt with Gov ernor I'mstead's recommendations ' for bond issues. He recommended a referendum for a $50 million pub lic school bond issue. "We have constructed in North Carolina many schoAl buildings during the past few years," he declared. "The need has not yet been net. Our school population is rapidly in creasing, and in order to protect and preserve our public school sys tem we must aid in providing the necessary facilities." A bond issue for $22 million to make possible permanent improve ments at state mental hospitals was recommended. A statewide vote would also be necessary for this bond issue. The Governor's final recommendation was for a $15 mil lion bond issue to provide build ings for institutions of higher learning and other state institu tions. This bond issue could be au thorized by the General Assembly without a referendum. The total sum of the three bond issues Is $87 million. "I am ad vised that after the bonds are is sued about $4,600,000 each year will be required for debt service," Governor Umstead said. "If you find that this sum. together with the cost of the other additional items I have recommended in this message and other items which you may find necessary, cannot be fi nanced with funds estimated to be available for the iiext biennium, then 1 call your attention to the statement made in my message to you on January 8 with reference to taxes." Eliminate Exemptions The Governor referred here to his earlier statement that addi tional lax funds oiigkl be raised by rettwios ttp number of exemp tions from the strte tales tax. In his other recommendations, Governor Umstead asked for a pay increase to school teachers in ad dition to the 10 per cent in the budget report of the Advisory Bud get commission, and the employ ment of more attendance officers for the schools. He also recom mended funds for driver training and safety education in hitch schools, and more vocational ed ucation in the schools. Referring to the operating costs of mental institutions, the Gov ernor said that additional funds were "absolutely necessary, both from the humanitarian standpoint and from the standpoint of saving the state tremendous amounts of money in years to come." Increased appropriation of funds for agricultural research was rec ommended, and funds for more revenue agents were requested. His final recommendation to the legislature, aside from the bond is sues, was (or increased funds for the state program to reduce stream pollution. The state constitution requires that the legislature balance its budget between expenditures and inepme. Jim the Crow Louisville, Ky. (AP) ?

Schools (Continued from Page 1) attending the schools, and by 1050 attendance was up to 73 per cent. Most of the increase came at the high school level. There were 736 high schoLs in 1924, and the num ber of high school graduates was 25 time# what it had been in 1900, despite the fact that the state's to tal population had increased by only a little over a third. In 1950 (here were six times as many high school graduates as in 1924 and 155 times as many as in 1900. Total average daily attendance in ele mentary and secondary schools was now 798,000 instead of the 207,000 of 1900." Pointing to the change in the status of the automobile from a "luxury for the few to a necessity for the many," Mr. Larsen said, "the far more remarkable fact is that education, too. had changed from a luxury for the few to a necessity for the many in the same period of time. Our schools had set up a mass production line lar more wonderful and far more com plex than anything ever dreamed of by Henry Ford." Mr. Larsen then showed how the tremendous growth iti school pop ulation and literacy was matched by the growth of North Carolina industry, production of electrical energy, the increase in the value of farm property, and the value added to raw materials by manu facture. ine education sysiem grew, in the May that any successful indus try grows ? through the systematic plowing back of profits into new plants and equipment and new and better personnel." he said. "In 1900, the total value of school property was $1,098,000," Mr. Larsen continued. "Total school expenditures were $1,062,000 and the total state appropriation for education was $100,000." In 1950 the value of school property was more than 250 times as much as the 1900 value, and the state appropriated $108 million to educa tion compared to the earlier $100. 000 figure. Pointing out that a similar kind of growth in education took place over the entire nation, Mr. Larsen concluded by saying. "Before you open up the new frontier, you must ! do something else: you must open up the minds of the people. You must provide the great majority of citizens with the skills netjfitsary for the production of wedltfLand with the varied interests antnlstes' necessary for the consumption of the many products of an industrial ized society. Surely our system of free'universal education was more essential to this 'big change' than were any amount of tax laws, mini mum wage laws, subsidies, labor union pressures or new manage ment attitudes."

It is proposed that the license tax on fishing craft be set at $1.50 per gross ton with a $5 minimum for small boats not docu mented in the customhouse. Afpliwce Foes The bill proposes to tax anchor, stake, drift and gill nets at $1 for each 100 yards or fraction thereof; pound nets and submarine pound or submerged trap nets at $2 for each trap or pound; fish pots or traps for catching catfish or eels at $1 each; seines, dragnets, and mullet nets at $1 per 100 yards or fraction thereof; fyke nets at $1 each: and fish trawls, crab trawls, and shrimp trawls at $5 each. Most fisheries men have indi cated that what is objected to prin cipally in the bill is its complica tions and not the amount of the taxes, although some have said that the licenses on pots would put most operators of eel and catfish pot traps out of business. The license fees and taxes go to the support of the Commercial Fisheries division of the Conserva tion and Development department. A large portion of this division's : funds, however, must come from j the state's general funds. The cost of the division in the 1951-53 bien j nium was $127,589 according to the state budget report, and the taxes and license fees brought in only $67,370. Most of the division's funds are spent for inspectors and patrol boat operations. The fish taxes under the pro posed legislation are coon oysters, four cents per bushel; escallops, five cents per gallon; clams, six cents per bushel; soft crabs, two cents per dozen; hard crabs, 10 cents per barrel; shrimp (cooked or green). 15 cents per 100 pounds; and fish, five cents per 100 pounds.

Fred Halsey Is in Hospital Fred Halsey of Wildwood was taken to the Veteran's hospital in Fayetteville Monday for treatment for a broken' vertabra suffered when he fell off the roof of his house, which he was repairing. r ine appointment 01 rnuitp u Sullivan of New York as port man ager at Wilmington was announced this week by George W. Gillette, director of the State Ports Au thority. Mr. Sullivan will work with the authority's traffic ? management team to stimulate export-import commerce through the state-owned terminals at Wilmington and More head City. Mr. Gillette said. The new manager, who has been identified with international (hip ping and trade since 1928 in Wash ington, D. C., Boston and New York, joins E. E. Lee. Jr., who transferred last week from the utilities commission to serve as act ing traffic manager for the two ports. The two new appointees will work with J. D. Holt, Morehead City port manager, C. P. Feesant and H. N. Newcombe, traffic so licitors. to spearhead the drive for new business. "The dual concern of port man agement." Mr. Gillette commented, "is to adapt terminal space and service to the commodities which flow through the port for export and import, and to educate poten tial shippers to the advantages and economies of water transportation through North Carolina harbors." State manufacturers are begin ning to give an encouraging re sponse to the current import-export foreign trade survey, the director said. "To accommodate this very welcome revival of interest in our ports, we are making every effort to put Wilmington and Morehead City on a par with Charleston, Nor folk. Baltimore and New Orleans as far as rates, service and equip ment are concerned," he continued. "The pattern of North Carolina's foreign trade now directs a high percentage of the export-import tonnage through out-of-state har bors," Mr. Gillette declared. "At both Wilmington and Morehead City we will depend largely upon new business to build the ossentiat two-way traffic. It will be neces sary to equalize freight rates and other factors if we are to accom modate the trade which logically should use our deep sea ports. We are now organizing our traffic and management staffs to create ad vantages most favorable to inbound and outbound commerce." County Agricultural Agents To Attend Poultry School County agricultural agents from Carteret, Onslow, Jones, Pamlico, Beaufort and Hyde counties will at tend a jjoultry school at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday in New Bern.
