BOARD
PLANS BIG FUND
State Group Building Com
mittee Recommends
$25,0O0,O0O For Work

RALEIGH. Dec. 5 - R The
State Board of education Thurs
day adopted a report of its build
ing committee recommending thai
the state establish a $25. 900, 00O
fund for assisting counties, by
grants : in : aid, in constructing
public school buildings i, a five
year program.
No suggestion was made as to
the source of the fund. but the COM
mittee limited broadly that it be sci
aside from a general surplus fund,
which totaled about $48, 600, 900 las
July /, when. q postwar reserve
fund Of $40. 900, 900 was included.
The committee. headed by Dr.
Hiden Ramsey of Asheville, point
ed out in its report that a survey
disclosed the need for at 1eas
500, 900, 900 worth Of new building
in the state.
However, it was pointed out tina.
1.-The majority of the counties, ii
the state find themselves financi
ally or legally incapable of meet
ing their building needs"
1t was proposed to use the $25.
600, 900 as an equalization fund, Il
be distributed on a basis OF need,
which would mean that the porel
counties would get the bigges'
shares. However, it was emphasiz
ed that all counties would share ir
the fund.
The board of education, in &C
cepting the report in principle,
agreed with the committees con.
tention that the time has come
for the state to assist the counties
in school plant construction through
direct aid. rather than by loans
The loan method has been the sole
means employed in the past.
It was directed, however, thai
the committee make further rec
concentrations on a formula TO,

FOR SOVIET help
Statesman Says Time Has
Come To Harness Atom
For Future Peace

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, Dec. 5.
= R- Bernard M. Baruch, de-
claring emphatically that the time

rectly to Soviet Russia Thursday
night to approve the United States
plan for Harvesting the atom for
peace.
Speaking at n Of the most i'm
portant meetings yet held by the
United Nations Atomic Energy
commission, Baruch, as the U. S.
representative, urged the commits
sion-including Russia = to adopt
the American plan as its basic rec
ommendation for controlling atomic
energy.
Baruch thus lost no time in act
ing on major Russian concessions
which were clearly enunciated,
after some delay, only Wednesday
by Vyacheslav M. Molotov, Russian
foreign minister, to the U. N. Polit-
ical committee.
Saying that the United States vel
coined the support of those coun-
tries which have already indicated
their acceptance of the U. S. plan,
Baruch added:
1--WE seek specially the participa-
ton Of the Soviet Union. We vel
come the recent authoritative state
ments of its highest representa-.
tives. From these, we are justified
in concluding that it no longer re-
CARDS the original American pro-

He said that if the nations can
control the atomic weapon, they
can 60 on from there to control
other instruments of mass destruc-
ton. He thus agreed directly with
numerous delegates who have in
sisted in the disarmament debate
that there must be general arms

MANY YEARS-The u. S. Army
Engineers have wrestled with the
old Cape Fear for many years.
They have closed n of the two
outlets at the mouth of the river
forcing all the waters through the
other path to the sea-.
They have dredged and removed
logs and snags, and even sunken
forests.
They have Strengthened bends
and removed rock until now there
exists a fine channel approximately
80 feet in depth and 300 feet wide
from the ocean to the Port City.
That's a distance of approximately
80 miles.
Unknown to most civilians and
even some residents of the
Cape Fear area is the constant
battle that the Engineers must
wage against nature.
Keeping the river and the ocean
bar channels open requires con-
tinual work and large. grants OF
money.
CHANGING SCENE-The shift

power to take possession q the
mines in order to prevent an 'iin-
terruption" by strikes or otherwise
Of the operation OF tn e mines
There was a coal strike last spring,
and under this law the President
took possession Of the mines. Mr..
Lewis now pretends that he has
a right to strike though the whole
purpose Of the law was to prevent
strikes. His argument is that his
contract with the government may
be interpreted as giving him the
right to strike. But this amounts to
saying that Secretary Krug signed
away in q contract the very pur.
pose of the law which put the gov
eminent in possession Of the mines.
