Earl Of Enroll Death
Thought To Be Murder

LONDON, Jan. 27.-R-A Reut-
ers British news agency dispatch
from Nairobi, Kenya colony, said
today that evidence at the inquest
on the Earl of Enroll, who was re-
ported last week TO hav dlel after
an automobile accident, suggested
that he was murdered.
A physician, Reuters said, test
flied that the 39-year-old Earls
death was caused by a revolver
shot which entered the head be-
hind the left ear and which could
scarcely have been self-inillcted.
The inquest was adjourned two
weeks.
The ancient title of lord high
constable of Scotland, granted by
King Robert the Bruce in 1914 fell
to the Earl of Erroll's 15-year-old
daughter, Lady Diana Denyse Hay
when he died. The rank gives her
precedence in Scotland above all
peers or holders of other heredi-
tary titles except members of the
royal family.

NEGRO COLLEGES
ASK MORE FUNDS


c~reasingly by applicants from out-of-
state institutions, some of them be-
ing nationally known colleges of the
north and middle west enjoying
much greater financial support than
North Carolina is able to give to its
institutions.
"If the legislature can see its way
clear to give just a modest boost to
the appropriations recommended for
the Misunderstanding institutions, they
can meet the challenge" Seabrook
said.
I'VE believe that North Carolinians
ers of the public elementary school
children should be North Carolin-
ians, educated chiefly in North Caro-
lima institutions under the supervis-
ion of North Carolina officials imbued
with the viewpoint and ideals of
North Carolina" declared the negro
college president.
Seabrook said that the Fayetteville

capita cost than any other single
publicly supported institution in the
States. The committee had
earlier heard F. D. Bluford, presi-
dent Of A. and T. negro college at
Greensboro, describe North Caro-
lina's appropriation for that institu-
ton as the lowest for any negro land
grant college in the south.
The states contribution to the Fay
etteville college this year a listed
at $44 a student, and for A. and T,
college the per capita appropriation
was sec a student.
President Seabrook asked an in
crease OF $3.50 in the biennial ap'
preparation of $64 1856 recommended
by the budget commission. The ad'
ditional funds, he said, would provide
for additional teachers, salary in
%creases, equipment, library addition,
Kitchen addition and purchase Of six
acres Of land.
Others who spoke in behalf of the
Fayetteville college were: Senator
springfield and Representative Cook
of Cumberland, Emil Rosenthal OF
Goldsboro. and Maurice Fleishman OF
Fayetteville.
President Bluford told the commit.
tee that the Greensboro institution
had a waiting list" of students seek.
ing admission and made a plea for a
building program to erect a boys
dormitory for 304 students, a dairy
building and a gymnasium. Total
cost of the construction would be
$428, 900.
Increases were also requested for
maintenance totaling $97,46o. The ad-
%ditional fund would provide more in
structors, salary increases, equip
ment and supplies. The budget com
mission recommended an %appropria'
ton of 1892, 1872 for the Greensboro
negro college in 1941-43.
c. A. Hines of Greensboro, a trus'
tee of A. and T. college, said that
economies at the institution had
gone too far" and Caesar Cone OF
Greensboro, another trustee, added
that it would be good business" for
the state to invest more money in
training negroes for agriculture and
the trades.
