One of the busiest men
IN town is Bill Brown, the
0apel Hill gardener and
landscape architect who is
a native of England and an
alumnus of the University
here and State College IN
Raleigh. He seems perpetu-
ally under contract to doz-
ems Of people who want their
yards and gardens to look
as fine as possible. In addi-
ton, he writes a weekly
newspaper column on gard
ening, and during the sum-
mer he works in the evening
at the Intimate Bookshop.
You don't hear any of his
garden clients complaining
that he neglects them. How
he gets around so fast and
keeps everybody happy is
a mystery. He has a staff
Of laborers but he often
pitches in and helps them
with the chopping, prun-
&g, digging, planting,
moving, and weed pulling.
When | saw him at supper
one day last week he said,
Il have worked hard today.
My men had to be at home

Campus Parking

Just In case you are wonder
ing why you can't always find
a parking space you might
take a look at the figures be-
low.
Last year Al per cent Of the
student body had automobiles.
This represented $500 cars.
There were also 1886 cars be-
longing to the University facul-
ty and staff who had parking
permits on the campus. The
Division of Health Affairs had
an additional l.5O0 cars regis
tered to park In special areas.
This put 6,246 cars on the cam
pus. and there were only 1926
parking spaces available.
Looking to the future. 1t is
predicted that there will be
1900 students here In another
10 years. That means we will
be needing 9.090 spaces for
ears for students, faculty and
other employees.

Woman Confesses To Murder
Laid To Colored Man

AngIeton, 'TeX.-MrS. Ethle Mae
Simpson, 35, of Fort Worth, who
had told officers how a colored
man killed her husband, JIM
my and crirninally attacked her
near Freeport, confessed to his
murder herself late Sunday.
Mrs. Simpson, who had sweat
ed out a lie detector test, said a
velvet gloved colored man shot
Jimmy, a Navy veteran, who was
her fourth husband, at midnight,
July 2, on the banks of San Ber-
nard River, near Freeport. She
broke down during her second
test Sunday and admitted that
she made up the lie about a color
ed man Staying Jimmy and at
lacking her, confessing to the
murder herself.
The woman's description Of
the colored man fitted that Of.
Louis McCardell. a 21-year old
Houstonian. Charged with MUIR
der, he was out of jail at the
time the Fort Worth couple was
at the island resort. Officers set
up a statewide hunt for young
McCardell.
Deputies said that Mrs. Simp-
son had heard the description OF
McCardell on a broadcast, and
further stated she admitted that
blaming the murder on him was
the first thing that occurred to
her after she had killed her
husband.
CAMPED TO FISH
At the time Of the midnight
river bank murder, the Simp-
sons had pitched camp prior to
a gala fishing fiesta in the area.
Mrs Simpson is said to have sped

Duputies said the river was
dragged for several days in an
attemp to recover til e pistol,
which Mrs. Simpson had said
the colored man threw there af-
ter killing her husband.
The woman had lied about the
pistol being thrown into the riv-
er and after confessing to the
killing, she led deputies to the
spot where she had thrown the
pistol, and it was recovered In a
short while.

GEORGIA TOWN WOULD CLOSE
SCHOOLS IF IMMIGRATION TRIED

Augusta, GA. - Two Richmond
County education officials warn
ed that Augusta schools would
be closed Immediately if any in
tergration attempt was made.
Superintendent of schools Roy
E. Rollins and William r. Lflin,
president of the Board of Educa-
ion, issued the statement shortly
after it was reported that an at
tempt to integrate the schools
would be made this fall.
The report, attributed to an un
identified businessman, appeared
in the Augusta Chronicle.
However, a prominent Augusta
Negro leader, A. M. Carter. vice
president of the Pilgrim Health
and Life Insurance Co., said he
had no knowledge of any such re-
port.

High Court Asked To Stay New
Ruling On School Integration

students who attended the Little
Rock Central High School made
three basic points, One is that
community opposition to integra-
ton, even if expressed through
overt acts of treSpaSs and in
timidation, "doeS not constitute
a legally sufficient ground for
Suspending the operation of a
plan for gradual racial integ-
ration of public schools hereto
fore approved by. the District
Court and by this Court"
Placing a premium on op-
position to public school deseg-
regation by illegal means rather
than by democratic methods can
only result in encouraging law
less elements opposing compli-
ance and frustrating those
seeking compliance in a lawful
manner, "they argue. In short,
preventing racial tension or con-
flict is no ground for depriva-
ton of constitutional rights.
