Georgia Commission
Urqes Private School
Clause Be Ratified
BY the Associated Press

ATLANTA, Sept. %. - With
little debate or opposition, the
Georgia Education Commission
today adopted a resolution rec
ommending ratification Of the
so-called private school amend
ment.
The vote was IA to 8, with 4
members of the commission alb
sent.
The resolution states that the
Supreme Court decision outlaw
ing school segregation "is con-
trary to the constitution of
Georgia and the wishes of the
people of Georgia, and it should
not be accepted"
It adds. eff this decision is
forced upon the whole State and
mixed public schools are ordered
throughout the State, there will
be no public schools of any kind
anywhere in the State"
Harmon w. Caldwell, chan
cellor Of the university system,
told the commission that various
units Of the system stood to lose
their accreditation and approxi-
mately $2.5 million Of Federal
funds. but he would vote in favor
of the amendment in order to
preserve segregation.
The basis of the commissions
claim that desegregation would
kill the public schools was an
opinion from Attorney General
Eugene Cook that there is no
authority under the Georgia
constitution of 1945 to establish
mixed schools, tax for mixed
mixed schools or expend funds
for mixed schools"
In his opinion, MIR. Cook held
that should the Supreme Court
strike down a State constitu-
tional requirement for segregated
schools, the provision for an ade-
quate education and free COM
mon schools will fall.
The lengthy opinion dealt with
Article 8. Section /, which sets
forth that the expense of an
adequate education shall be pro-
vided for by taxation. Section /
also says. Separate schools shall
be provided for the white and
colored races"

Probers Find Powell
Got $1,000 Loan
From FILA Builder
BY the Assoeiossd Press

NEW YORK. Sept. 2s.-The
Senate Banking Committee has
turned up evidence that Repre-
sentative Adam Clayton Powell,
Democrat. Of New York. got q
$1,000 loan two years ago from
the builder Of a Government
backed housing project.
Builder David Kent Of Brook
lyn told the committee at q hear
ing yesterday that the money
has not been repaid. but he ex-
poets Mr.. Powell to do so prob
ably very soon." He said Mr..
Powell used the money to buy a
fancy sports car.
Mr.. Kent also revealed that
two secretaries on Mr.. Powelps
congressional staff have received
$500 year as managers of the
development in addition to their
Federal pay. He identified them
as Acy Lennon and william ].
Hampton and said they used Mr..
Powell's Manhattan offices to
push sales in the project.
Inter-Racial Project.
Mr.. Kent's testimony con-
cerned the 300-unit inter-racial
Dorie Miller apartment project
in Corona, Queens. A non-profit,
cooperative development, it was
financed with mortgages guaran-
teed by the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration.
Following Mr.. Kent's testi-
mony Mr.. Powell issued q state
ment confirming that he had
received the loan. However, he
added. it sis personal matter
and absolutely has nothing to
do with anything in connection
with FIA."
He said FHA records would
show that he never interceded
for Mr.. Kent or any other build
er or contractor.
AS for his two secretaries re-
ceiving money from the project,
Mr.. Powell said they were Sc
lected as managers by a New
York bank and he, knew moth
ing about it until their contracts
were signed.
Mr.. Powell said the congress
sional salaries received by Mr.,
Lennon and Mr.. Hampton were
$4,000 and $1,000. respectively.
The Congressman continued:
Mr.. Powell, who also is pastor
Of Harlem's big Abyssinian Bap-
tist Church. confirmed Mr..
Kent's story about the loan
going to pay for an expensive
English sports car.
Mr.. Kent had told the COM
mittee Mr.. Powell drove out to
see him at the Corona apart
ment project in an imported
Jaguar sports car. When he
complimented the Congressman
on it, Mr.. Kent said, Mr.. Powell
replied that he would like to
get a still better model, but
lacked the money.
With that, Mr.. Kent offered
to lend Mr.. Powell the $4,000
that he said he needed to get
the other sports car.
Powell's Check Shown.
Mr.. Kent showed the commit |
tee a check which Mr.. Powell |
had given him to cover interest |
on the loan. It was dated last |
April 3 and Mr.. Kent said he had
not cashed it because he did not
charge interest on q friendly
loan.
The committee counsel, Will
liam Simon, questioned Mr.. Kent |
closely on whether he had ac-
tually received the check April
3 or whether it was received at a
later date and postdated. He
said. that even one week later
makes all the difference" since
1t was April 10 that President
Eisenhower announced scandals
in the FILA.
Mr.. Kent denied the interest
payment had anything to do
with the Presidents announce
ment that FILA scandals would
be investigated.

 During the first 21 months of his administration, he said, i've have gone far toward building for our agriculture a foundation of enduring prosperity, in an Ameri- ca at last at peace"
 He said there never had been more constructive farm legislation than that passed by the COP con trolled 83rd Congress, and he blamed "the old farm law" for a steady decline in farmers buy ing power"
 On the speakers platform with Eisenhower at Butler Fieldhouse were Secretary of Agriculture Benson, whom he warmly praised, and Republican candidates from the farm belt area. There had been reports from Washington that COP leaders counseled against having Benson on the platform, presumably because of some Republican opposition to the administrators controversial farm program.

ANCHORAGE, R - Som ( $65,OOO worth of oil lease appli- cations were deposited with the Bureau of Land Management here Friday, apparently in an effort to blanket the entire Kenai Pen inSula.
 Almost half of the leases were filed in the names of E. Wells Erwin and M. B. Kirkpatrick, business associates here.
 The remaining applications were made by H. M. Goforth, rep resenting the Ohio Oil Co.,, of Los Angeles, and numerous individual residents of California and Ohio.

 Leases filed preVlously covered most of the southern part of the peninsula. Government geologists have rated the entire western and southern part of the Kenai "geo- logically favorable" for oil pro- duction.
 Erwin said he and Kirkpatrick and their associates have some definite plans" for developing the acreage they applied for, but said he did not care to reveal the plans at this time. He added that the 54 lease applications made in his and Kirkpatrick's names were not made in behalf of any oil firm He said he and his aSsoci- ates have long had real estate in terests on the peninsula.
