"Requests being made today," Sanderson added, "represent our minimum needs." He indicated that still more funds would be needed during the fiscal year for the renovation of a number of departments and rooms in the schools.

John P. Swain, chairman of the Wake board, called for additional publicity by the school officials on how the local school funds are spent. "Greensboro and High Point school officials were on television for an hour and a half he said. "Questions were popped at them, and the way they explained their school systems, it was very informative." Swain indicated the taxpayers of Raleigh were poorly informed about their city school setup. "I know your money is spent wisely," he said.

"But the people don't seem to know anything about what you are doing. We've got to inform the people if we ever expect to have another bond issue or school supplement." After out that less than 20 cent the registered voters here voted on the last school bond issue, Raleigh's Mayor Fred B. Wheeler observed that "we did a good job of publicizing the issue for a new City Hall--and look how few voted." Sanderson told the board the school program received considertable publicity on the radio the newspapers, and he added that the school trustees often "go on the radio and discuss their problems." Means of securing more publicity far the local school program, the trustees then decided, would be discussed fully at their next regular meeting. 'Squeeze Sheriff Makes Accusation Wake County Sheriff Robert J. Pleasants yesterday told the County Board of Commissioners that he was being made the victim of a squeeze play so the city could get a new city hall.

The game involves the obsolete city jail and efforts of city officials to force Sheriff Pleasants to take prisoners off the hands of the Raleigh Police Department. The city jail has been condemned as unfit for habitation. City Attorney Paul Smith says that the county, under statutory provision, is required to take city prisoners. Sheriff Pleasants looks with horror upon the extra work that would be thrown upon his jail staff drunks booked en masse at all hours weekend being, nights, the wear and tear on the jail, by the belligerent winos and revellers. "H's a squeeze play to get a hall," said Pleasants, obviausly referring to the general delapidation of the present city hall and jail.

"And if they start bringing their prisoners over here, they not even include a jail in the new city hall." Pleasants' suggestion for solution to the problem: "Let them (the city) fix up their own jail." However, County Attorney Tom Banks was inclined to agree with City Attorney Paul Smith that the county was legally bound. to accept the prisoners. The County Board of Commissioners instructed Attorney Banks and Sheriff Pleasants to go to city officials with the purpose of seeking "an amicable solution" to the problem.

7 The Eisenhower administration has decided on what amounts to an embargo on all copper shipments to foreign countries. This drastic step though it will be camouflaged under softer language-has been decided upon because of the tremendous amounts of copper being shipped to Soviet Russia. Even American copper producers have been shipping copper to the Russians, though it's been through third parties. Shipments of copper out of the United States have been so heavy that in December, 41,000 tons of copper were, in effect, used from the national stockpile to supply the needs of domestic manufacturers. While the copper was not actualy taken out of the stockpile, lit was diverted from the amount that was supposed to have been put in during December.

The embargo of copper shipments was decided upon by Secretary of Commerce Sinclair Weeks last week. He will simply deny licenses for the export of copper abroad. The announcement, expected momentarily, will not be described as an embargo, but that's what it will actually be. Reason for the Russian purchases of copper may well be to build up the Soviet war potential. Whatever the reason, the Russians have been paying higher than the domestic price here and have been attracting shipments from Chille and other copper countries.

(Copyright, 1955, by the Bell Syndicate, Inc.) Inspector Is Under Fire The Wake County electrical inspector yesterday was accused of discourtesy and arbitrary action in the performance of his official duties. Several property owners roasted Electrical Inspector W. L. Bowman before the Wake County Board of Commissioners yesterday. The commissioners took no action but promised to investigate accusations against Bowman.

Herbert Aiken of Varina said, that with he Bowman had a heated discussion over wiring of his structures and that Bowman has been discourteous and arbitrary. Bowman told the commissioners that Aiken had threatened to shoot him if the electrical inspector came upon Aiken's property. G. W. Truelove, New Hill tractor, also criticized Bowman as being arbitrary and discourteous.

K. S. Marshall of Wake Forest told the commissioners that Bowman tried to get him to sign certain papers concerned with the inspection of wiring in Marshall's house without reading them. "He held the paper in his hand and wanted me to sign it with him still holding it," said Marshall. Bowman denied this.

Then Marshall told him heatedly, "You know where I told you to go. but I reckon you didn't go." Bowman said the accusations were part of a concentrated plan to oust him from the job. He said that in his inspections he complied with the law. Commissioner J. Dewey Powell suggested to Bowman that perhaps he had been too demanding in the matter of inspection.

Also present at the (Advertisement) Ruptured Men Get $3.50 Gift for Trying This For Judges Judges who lash out at a jury when they don't like the verdict would have to hold their peace under a bill which reached the House last night. Rep. Thomas Turner of Guilford proposed in House Bill 172 that no judge be allowed to "give an opinion or comment upon the verdict of jury" unless a motion has beer. made for a new trial, to arrest judgment or to set aside the verdict. "This is my brainchild," said Turner, "but most lawyers have had trouble it at one time in the past.

Several (Superior Court) judges make a habit of criticizing juries when they reach verdicts the judges don't like." Actually, Turner said he doubts that judges have under present law the right to comment upon verdicts. "In charging juries, judges always say they have no opinion, that the juries are the sole judge of the facts that they take the from the court and apply it to the facts. "He says he has no opinion and that the law doesn't give him the right to an opinion, and yet some of them will excoriate a jury once it goes out and finds facts contrary to his The bill, also signed by several others, went to Judiciary I Committee. the patrol.
