The Reflector has repeatedly stat pie of North Carolina stillliVeM communities of less than 2,500 popu lation. North Carolina is far from being a state dominated by Urge urban areas, and we seriously doubt a majority of its voters will actively support an effort to turn legislative control over to urban areas of the state. The "little federal” plan foir legisUtive' composition in North Carolina will give equitable and logical weight to the voices of both the urban and rural areas of the state, equitable voice to Urge-coun ty and small-county interests of- the Adoption of the amendment which will establish a “little federal” sys tem for legisUtive representation in North Carolina, will be a step in the best interest of the state and all its citizens.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR ■> : fife 3fai; JS§ Aid to Colleges, but When President Johnson com pares .the $1.2 billion college-aid bill, just passed by Congress, to the Land'Grant College Act of 100 years ago, he overlooks an important dis tinction, 1 : ' The institutions which received land-grant aid were all of nonsec tarian nature, set up and controlled by the respective states. The bill just sent to the White House after Senate approval authorizes $835 million, in grants and $300 million in, loans to any of the 2,100 colleges or universities in the country, or to new ones, including many owned by religious denominations. Laudable' as is the construction of buildings for educational purposes, many persons believe this kind of distribution of funds would breach the separation of church and state commanded by the First Amend ment to the United States Consti tution. ‘V;’ Whether their exception is well taken is a complicated legal ques tion. Nevertheless it is a question of deep importance to the nation, and there should be ways of hav ing it answered by the Supreme Court before public funds are dis bursed undet the law. Theoretically it might be assumed that any federal taxpayer could con test the matter, but under one pre cedent there is doubt whether one or even a group of taxpayers could show sufficient injury to obtajn "standing in court” to raise a test case on the point of constitution ality. Under these circumstances it seems only fair, and highly desir able, that Congress should enact a bill introduced by Rep. Edith Green of Oregon explicitly to permit judi cial review of < payments not only under this college aid bill but tujdCr the Hill-Burton Hospital Construe-, tion Act and the National Defense Education Act already on the books. Response to this proposal may all too likely be lukewarm but the. is sue deserves to be pressed with diligence. s'* DEATHS Mr*.
