Allen. State Superintendent of Public Instruction, tonight ex pressed confidence that the State of North Carolina will recetve a Federal grant of approximately $500,000 to aid In payment of Its school teachers for this session. “I am more confident than I have been at any time and expect a grant to be made within the next few days," said Dr Allen tonight. Asks $1,500,000. The State made an application foi* $1,500,000 about two months fffeo. The lesser amount, which It now appears will be granted is approxi mately the same as the deficit in | this year's budget for teachers' sal j aries. Dr. Allen has been assured of support from the State delegation in Congress but did not find It ne cessary to call on them for assist ance. In addition to pressing the cla‘m i of his own State, Dr. Allen confer red here today with superintend ents from seven other States in re gards to several other pending pro jects.

Will Transfer $300,000. RALEIGH, April 18.—Arrange ment to transfer approximately | $300,000 from other funds to enable payment of teachers' salaries to full for the eighth school month will be made at a meeting of the State School Commission here Thursday, LeRoy Martin, secretary to the commission, said yesterday. The State is attempting to secure a grant from the federal govern ment to enable payment of the full salary without stinting other school funds. There has been no announce ment regarding the grant, however, and indications were that it would not be made. Mr. Martin said the Commission probably would revise present plans calling for replacement of worn out transportation equipment and use the money to pay the teachers. At present there are 23,021 teachers' in North Carolina as compared with 22,801 last year. A total of $12,500,000 was set aside last fall for payment of sal aries. The employment of teachers 1 with high ratings, however, result ed in the salary total being higher than the estimate. Employment of teachers is done by local units. Governor Ehringhaus has prom ised that no teacher’s salary will be cut. Dog Vaccination Plan Is Rejected After Lee B.
