Raleigh, July II. - (AP)-Thc
State School Commission consider
ed closing the diffCrcntiai between
white and Negro teacher salaries
some today and learned it would
have more than 100000 instead Of

The additional money will be made
available by the larger appropriation
for next school year and by cutting
corners.
It appeared that new salary
scale for teachers might be adopted
during the day, giving Negroes
slightly larger increases than are
given white teachers.
A recent federal court held there
should be no differential in pay OF
white and Negro teachers. Governor
Hoev said yesterday the differential
should be reduced.

on a petition by StantonSbrg citi-
