here tomorrow.
The state charges that RI.
Fritz, Jr., president of the
North Carolina Edecation Asso-
citation, obtained some $1,000
from the State Board of Educa-
ton under false pretense.
The charge was first made
unofficially during the summer.
Fritz said the money was used
to relieve an acute teacher
shortage in the Hudson school
district near Lenoir, where he
was principal last year.
The State Board of Education
ordered a hearing in the case
late in the summer and revoked
Fritz's teaching certificate. Fritz
repaid the money and said he
had to borrow to do it.
Teachers Back Him
His fellow teachers rallied to
the cause throughout the state,
demanding a rehearing of the
case, and his reinstatement.
Fritz considered court action to
force the board to return him
to good standing.

Consideration

tonight, when asked if he would
call special session of the leg
islature, as requested by the
board of directors of the North
Carolina Education association,
that II have not received a
formal noice of their actions but
I shall give them every consid-
Grafton"
The governor emphasized that
he had not made up his mind
about a special session, but add
ed that teachers had been given
consideration in the 1947 legis-
lature.
II have not made up my mind
about this matter at ALL" the
governor said, who had just re-
turned from a trip to Waynes-
vile, where he spoke at a Hay
wood county celebration.
The chief executive empha-
sized that he would hear all
cases, and that he had not read
the resolution passed by the
board of the NCEA.
The governors tone was
amended, however, from what
he said repeatedly several times
recently: that he would not call
now a special session of the leg
iSlature.
This time he said that he
would review and consider a
good argument.
