LEE HITS TAWES'
LOAN BILL VETO

BALTIMORE, Dec. 81, (AP) E.
Gov. TaWes came under fire
again yesterday for vetoing a
1860 measure which would have
provided stop gap regulation
of Marylannd's saving and loan
industry.
The criticism was made in
a statement issued by Delegate
Blair Lee III, Democrat of
Montgomery, candidate for the
Democratic nomination for the
United States Senate.
Mr.. Lee will run in 1862 on
a ticket headed by George P.
Mahoney, who will oppose Mr.
Tawes for the gubernatorial
nomination.
Mr.. Lee gave Gov. Tawes
credit for taking action in the
savings and loan industry in
late 1860 and during 1861.
But Mr.. Lee said "all of this
was a ceremonial locking of
the barn door a year or so
after the horse was stolen"
Gov. Tawes vetoed bill
enacted by the 1860 General
Assembly which its sponsor,
former Delegate Joseph D.
Tydings, claimed would correct
"the most fragrant" abuses in
the industry until full regula-
ton could be established.
Nowhere is the moral sick
ness of the Tawes administra
ton more clearly revealed than
in the prodigious efforts to de-
feat the Tydings bill and its
ultimate veto at the hands of
Gov. Tawes," Mr.. Lees state
ment said,

Wells, in ordering a reply to

discussion, the board debated
the benefits of specific zoning
which would tell a property
owner what type of structure
and business could be placed
on a piece of property.
Mr.. Giauque said this type
of coming is not in use any
where in the United States to
his knowledge. He suggested
that an amendment to the
State constitution might be
necessary if it were adopted.
John B. Lauer, a board mem.

Disparity In Education Remains
(Reprinted from the Delta Democrat imes)

School in Greenville, for instance, is not
accredited. When these figures are COM
pared to the top Southern state, Florida,
which has 66.18 per cent of it's Negro
students in accredited high schools, the
lag becomes even more apparent. The
next lowest state, South Carolina, has 20
per cent of it's Negro students in accre-
dited high schools.
The c~riteria by which the Southern
Association of Colleges and Secondary
Schools judges a high school are exact
ing, diverse and complete. Teachers
salaries, subjects offered, and number of
areas in which a certain standard must
be met. Obviously Mississippi, which only
relatively recently engaged in a crash
building program under the equalization
teachers salaries in the nation, has a
tougher job in front of it than many
states.
And by the standards set by the
Mississippi A~ccrediting Commission, Mis-
s%issippis Negro and white schools are far
closer to each other. AS state Supt. of
Education j. M. Tubb pointed out, the
state agency has accredited about 80 per
cent of all Negro schools = with stan
dards which are themselves fairly stiff.
No one can deny that Mississippi is rot
making distinct efforts to improve edu-
c~ational standards all along the line.
But we are confident that the state
and local communities could be doing more
to eliminate the glazing disparity be-
tween the number of Negro and white
children, attending accredited schools. I'm
til this gap is also narrowed, the equali-
cation program cannot be termed a sue
cess no matter how many shiny new build
ings we may construct. In education as
in most other areas of life, it is not what
is projected on the outside but what is
contained on the inside that counts.
