Summary Given:
School Budget
Trimmed $8,276
From Last Year

The board of directors of the
Prince Edward School Founda-
ton Monday evening received
the complete budget of opera
tons for last year and were
presented a revised budget for
the coming year. The budget for
1928. including transportation.
was trimmed $8,276.30 from last
year.
Last year the School Foun-
dation set up a budget of
1862, OH 3, and actually spent
1868, 413.57. This represents O.38
per cent operation over the bud
get, which is excellent planning,
B. Blanton Hamburg, Foundation
president. said.
The cost of operation last year
was $685. $1,000. as compared
with the estimated 1888, 161 .43.
The expenses for transportation
were slightly under the budget,
costing $27, 793.48 compared with
the budget figure of $28, 1856. 90.
This means the Foundation actu-
ally spent $1,396.14 over their
budget figures.
To finance this budget last
year, 1892 .939.17 was paid by the
school patrons in tuition. Schol-
arship aid was granite d for
$136, 725. The remaining $22,-
634.77 was financed from mis-
cellaneous and building fund &C
counts. At the present time
there are unpaid buttons of
81 1884. This gives a total in
come and tuition receivable of
1854, 1877 %, which is slightly
over the operating expenses of
1865. 413.57.
I'VE had an excellent year
last year." Hanbury comment

ton. With the continued support
Of the school patrons and the
people of Prince Edward Com-

Budget Reduced
In discussing the budget for
the current session, Hanbury
said it was the objective Of the
Foundation to keep expendi-
lures as low as possible for both
school operation and transporta-
ton, and still provide the essen
tails necessary for a good edu-
cation and for safe transporta-
ton.
Because of the consolidation
OF the seventh grades from

Robert Redd, assistant to the
administrator, pointed out there
is always a shift in school popu-
lation from year to year. In the
case of Prince Edward county,
he has tried to account for those
students who are not enrolled in
school, for any reason whatso-
ever. His preliminary surve
discloses 80 students accounted
for from last year to this year.
They are as follows: nine with
parents living in other counties
and attending school in t h e
other counties; Is who have
moved with their parents or
guardian to another county or
city; one married, and four who
have stopped school to work.
This list is by no means com
plete." Redd advised, but it is
as close as we can figure it at
the present time. have asked
all the headmasters to help me
account for any child who is not
attending school,"
Redd pointed out that there
were SO seniors in the upper
school last year, which are more
than offset by 118 first graders
coming into the school system
this year.

refused to second the motion of

post the parks.
Later she accused Hanes of call
ing her an integrationist because
of her action.

Board earlier slashed the budgets
sharply, making the closings all
but certain.
City employers have started
boarding up community center
buildings.
However, the boards action
Thursday apparently means that
the parks will be available to any
one who wants to use them without
city sanction.
The board voted earlier to close
the 16 community centers.
City Attorney ]. M. Brecken-
ridge said the boards action means
that if there is any reason for po-
lice action at the recreation facil-
tiles officers will have to act under
ordinances unrelated to segrega-
ton, such as disorderly conduct.
Recreation facilities not affected
are Vulcan Park, Woodrow Wilson
Park in downtown Birmingham,
and the City Zoo.
Neither Vulcan nor Woodrow
Wilson parks have any picnic fac
ilities. Such facilities are available
adjacent to the city zoo but reser-
vations for the sites will no longer
be made.
Club houses at the golf courses
are being closed but the course will
remain open on a first-come first
serve basis. 1t was not clear wheth-
er parks employees would be retain
ed to collect green fees.
One member suggested that the
board adopt a resolution forbidding
anyone from walking on the golf
courses but no action was taken.

To Watch Defense Contractors:
Pentdgon To Employ
Specialists To Check
Defense Contract Bios

Washington (ANP) - The Pen
tagon has quietly launched a pro-
gram of affirmative action" to
prevent any racial discrimination
in the hiring Of men to work on
defense contracts.
The program, approved tenta-
lively last month by Defense Sec.
Robert S. Mcnamara, grew out of
an Air Force study. It is a pilot
project, on a modest scale. If Sue
cessful; it will be expanded and
extended to Army and Navy con-
tracts.
Key members of Congress have
been informed of this effort to en-
force the no-discrimination provis-
ions of government contracts.
There have been no congressional
objections.
ITO Hire Inter-GrOup Specialists
To carry out the program, the
Air Force has been authorized by
Mcnamara to hire nine Inter
group relations specialists" at sal
aries ranging from $4,000 to S14,-
900 a year. The Civil Service Com
mission is setting up such a job
classification.
The chief of the program will
have his headquarters at nearby
Andrews Air Force Base. Three
supervisors will be stationed at the
Air Forces three contract man.
agement regional headquarters -
Mddletown, Pa; Dayton, Ohio,
and Mira Iona, Calf. Five field
men will work out of air procure
ment division offices in New York,
Chicago, Detroit, Dallas and Los
Angeles.
Law States Point Clearly
THE law says quite clearly that
there is to be no racial discrim-
nation in job hiring for govern
ment contracts" one official said.
Until now, the Defense Depart
ment has taken no broad-scale ar
firmative action to enforce it. We
are starting on a low key because
we have a lot to learn about the
problem. Above all, we don't want
to prosecute any contractors"
The five field men will act prim-
arily as educators. 1t will be their
assignment to talk to top officials
of defense plants, urging them to
make an effort to recruit quail
fled Negro workers. Complaints
will be investigated by the three
regional supervisors.
Each field man will be respon-
sible for about 200 contractors with
defense contract of $4,000 or
more.
