Jones. ft will no* fee returned to the Senate tor eeocarreace fat minor amend ments adapted by the Reuse. Today In the Senate one of the Governor's law and order bills, HB 51 (bombing ori residences), received final approval, the two remaining parts of this pack age passed second reading witb amendments and await flirt fee i Senate action next week. Al so passing the Senate today was the House bill concerning lo cal ambulance services, and earlier in the week a tall doub ling compulsory auto insurance coverage successful!:.' complet - ed its legislative journey. A less happy fate was dealt the State Highway Patrol airplane bill in the House. Wednesday it passed second reading by eleven votes but this margin evaporated overnight, and a crippling amendment was ap proved on Thursday. The bill was left with a faint breath of life by being carried over for third reading House considera tion next Tuesday. EDUCATION ROUNDUP Always a subject of lively legislative concern, education has been and promises to re main a center of interest and controversy throughout fee 1967 General Assembly, The key early session issue in higher education -- university status for East Carolina College - is apparently dead for the ses sion, having been defeated in the Senate 27 to 22 last week. In the words of its chief propo nent, Senator Robert Morgan “We just didn't have enough horses.” Two other issues in higher education - revamping the board of trustees of the University ot North Carolina and rnovtoe the President of the Consolidated University’s are up in the air with more bills on both questions expect ed to b- introduced. At this writing >w.~ foil! has been in troduced to provide for separate trustee boards on each UKC campus (SB 32-3) and one to re quire that any new Consolidat ed University offices be built in Raleigh (SB 379 - HB 902). At tin community college le vel, a number of separate bills have b;-en introduced to ex pand oi upgrade units of the community college system. In addition a State aid program for the community college system as a whole has been introduced in both houses (HB 634 and, only today, in slightly different form in tiie Senate, SB 417). In the area oi public educa tion most us the bill- to ef fectual- the programs of U nited Forces of Education and others interested in the pub lic schools have been intro duced. (I:ducath«na] requests from the State Board of Edu cation and the State Department of Public Instruction were made to the Advisory' Budget Com mission and to tin- extent ap proved, are incorporated in the budget bills, SB IS - HB 34). The only UFE rejective that has been enacted into law is SB 3 which restored the continu ing contract lor principals and teachers in the public school system. This law gives neith er principal nor teacher any vested right in their employ ment, however. Republicans in the House attempted to amend the Dill to establish tenure rights, but this effort failed on a roll call vote. A similar fate seems likely for KB 77, to create a tenure system for public school teachers, now lan guishing in House committee. Still pending in committee are bills to reduce the size of school classes by one in grades 1-12 (SB 131); to transport city children living within the city and attending Its schools (SB 65 and HB 132); to extend the employment of public school principals to 10 1/2 -12 months, school supervisors one addi tional month, and school teach ers three additional non-teach ing days (SB 130); to inaugu rate a pilot kindergarten pro gram (SB 6); and to supple ment the pay of supervising teachers (SB 225). The major UFE bill, calling for teacher salary increases of $5,000 to $8,500 for 1967-68 and $5,500 to $9,350, is also still in the Appropriations Committee, a Republican sponsored bill, SB 8. would call for a2s«* Increase We Offer lew C@sf FUNERAL INSURANCE For Every Member Os Your Family Call is for totals Ufbtacr Funeral Bess Wlitr# Service Excels 312 tSL, R«feig£a, M, C. TefaqibNK BS3~ft<B6 te teachers’ and principals’ pay spread over the biennium. In addition to the UFE bills, there are several important state-wide educational bills yet to be reported out of com mittee, SB S 3 would establish a uniform system of selecting school board members (five members to be elected for 4- year terms) *nd would provide for the nomination and election of county school boards on a political basis at the county primary and genera! election, if this bill becomes law, the current complex procedure ending in appointment by the General Assembly in the Omni - be- School Boards Act (HB 287 which was ratified March 3! and appointed members to school boards in 79 counties) would no longer be law. Still to Education Committee are bills calling for a state-wide enabling lav. permitting school consolidations oi city t union free summer school at Allstate institutions lor public schools teachers and administrators with three years* service (SB 382). Also in Education Com mittee are bills to raise the compulsory school attendance age limit to 18 years (SB 258) and to enact an interstate com pact for education (HB 580). Still in the Appropriations Com mittee are separate money bills calling for state funds to sup port the school lunch program (SB 212 - Hit 461), the crea tion oi a commission to study the feasibility of a 12-month school year set up a quarterly basis, and the establishment of pilot pre-school programs for deaf children (SB 251). One subject that has provok ed recent controversy is the future of the NC Advancement School in tv ms tom -Salem. A resolution introduced early in the session (HR 204} seeks to leave the school under the ad ministrative control of LINC (Learning Institute of North Carolina). Tfee objective of this resolution conflicts with the recommendation made by Gov ernor Moore to his legislative address to the General Assem bly. Acting, on the recom mendation of the State Board of Education and tie Superinten dent of Public Instruction, he asked the legislature to trans fer control over toe school to the State Board of Education. A bill to bring about this trans fer, and give the Advancement School a separate governing board, was introduced this week (KB 904 ) and joins the earlier bill to the Committee on Educa tion. The recent announce ment that 16 of the Advance ment school faculty, including the director, have accepted of fers to set up a similar school in Philadelphia - an action iteming largely from the disa greement wito the recommen dation of tlie State Board of Education andGcvernorMoore has spurred tate-wide Interest in the role w be played and tbe type of research to be done by the Advancement School. Thus, most educational mat ters of state-wide import re main in committee and the hard decisions which so many of them require are yet to be made. They promise to play a leading role to the traditional end-of session rush that lies ahead,. REQUIEM A noticeable increase to the bill deaUtraie was syrnptom at see oi the new getting-down business mood to Raleigh this w-eek. Among the victims were three Judicial Council bills modifying the law of assault, and three locals, two of them Republican. Other losers In cluded two motor vehicles bills a- motorcycle licensing mea sure, and a bill to ejq)and regu lation of driving under the in fluence of drugs.

The Republican bill, which will be introduced to Congress to the near feature, calls for a saving of three hundred million dollars over w hat the administration is ad vocating. The bill calls for an expenditure ot one billion seven hundred million dollars. It has been estimated that under the Republican sponsor ed bill about a million more people will be reached through job-training. This bill is not intended to eliminate poverty but it would be expected to expand the war on poverty in terms of more effectively channeling the funds to those people whose needs have made lhe various poverty programs a necessity. AN INTERESTING FACT Civil rights leaders claim that they have lost their voice in Congress since Adam Clay ton Powell was ousted. The truth of the matter is ... they have lost NOTHING. A quick review of Mr. Powell’s voting record on civil rights legislation! from 1957 to the present indicates that he has done very little for his people. Mr, Powell voted only twice on five civil rights bills in 1957 ... in 1960 there were five votes and he voted twice; of eight votes in 1965 he voted cm none oi them; and to 1966 he was not recorded cci six votes. Out of a total of 27 civil rights hills over this period of time, Mr. Powell has seen fit to vote only 4 times. This is hardly an enviable record for the only “voice of civil rights” in Con gress.
