I The News and Observer Monday Wake Academy Has 190Students Scott Keeps Finger In Tax Program Pie 4 t- 4t 0'74 ri within administration circles has not been doing any adverse gyrations lately An air of ebnfidence seems to pervade the inner circle Trouble or no Scott's message came at an opportune time The heating-up of opposition to a tobacco tax and other proposed levies which had been sure to come had indeed come The Joint Finance Committee's public hearings started two days before Scott's appearance a a tobacco farmers by the Irondreds had made their angry way into and out of the hearing room Activity was on the increase too from such lobbies as beer and gasoline By RUSSELL CLAY Staff Writer Is Governor Scott's tax program in trouble? That was the interpretation some applied to his Thursday legislative message But to daily observers of the General Assembly scene there have Leen no outward signs of administration desperation In crisis situations governors have been known to "call in the boys" meaning to dispatch a large force of aides to man the State House corridors When such occurs it is usually a reliable barometer of the political heat Such activity has not been noted of late Scott appears to be sticking to his front-line regulars aide Ben Roney and liaison man Tom White with reserve forces showing up only Infrequently and working om special projects not directly related to taxes Another usually accurate Indicator the atmosphere ne sticking to his front-line regulars aide Ben Roney and liaison man Tom White with reserve forces showing up only Infrequently and working om special projects not directly related to taxes Another usually accurate indicator the atmosphere If he should go before the joint House-Senate session for the express purpose of appealing for support of his tax program that would surely be interpreted as a distress signal But if the appeal could be Interwoven into a message on another subject not too far removed from the subject of money convenience would be served This was the course followed although it did not fully convince some harboring suspicions that the tax program is in danger They felt that the main subject of Scott's measage a call for creating a Department of Local Affairs and some Internal reorganization within Pierce the academy's prin cipal is his wife "We feel to be properly educated a child needs understanding of the Scriptures and the word of God We feel every subject is related to the word of God All history for example should be understood from God's point of view" Teachers are screened to insure that they conform with this viewpoint Evolution Is Out "We wouldn't have anybody who'd teach evolution" Pierce said "Well not anybody who taught it as a fact" his wife added "And we wouldn't take an infidel or atheist" her husband said Teachers at the school earn $425 a month for nine months a substantially lower sum than the $593 per month starting salary paid in the Raleigh schools for example Most of the academy's teachers this year are young Seven of the 10 hold standard certificates from the State Department of Public Instruction Proponents of the school also claim that their teachers are "free to teach They don't have all those reports to file" one said Mrs Pierce while acknowledging that a desire to maintain segregation was the primary motivation for the founding of the school seeks to change that image 1 IN CAMERON VILLAGE IN RALEIGH'S CAMERON VILLAGE All things considered the the a of I legislative process a Administration was not 1 reached the point where a really of sufficient magnitude I word from the Governor to warrant a legislative just in case was in order appearance by the Governor How to go about it?

program They are districts with the largest number of public housing units Under the proposed change in the aid-to-education program school districts would receive money on the basis of the number of children in such housing units Currently so-called federal impacted area money goes only to districts with larger numbers of children whose parents either work in government facilities or are military servicemen UNITS The proposal would grant money equal to half the current per-pupil expenditure to districts based on the number of children in public housing units The Fifth District which includes Winston-Salem would get $976000 Republican Wilmer Mizell is the congressman The Eighth District of freshman Republican Earl Ruth would get $859000 They would be followed by $814000 to the Sixth of Democrat Richardson Preyer and $775000 in the Seventh District of Democrat Alton Lennon The Fourth District of Rep Nick Galifianakis would get $618000 Other payments reflecting the relative development of public housing in the state would be: First District 4 5 6 0 0 0 Second $495000 Third $434000 Ninth $197000 Tenth $82000 and lIth $320000 There are about 32000 school age children living in public housing in the State according to Office of Education estimates TREATY Sen Sam Ervin Jr has expanded on his 'opposition to the recent nuclear nonproliferation treaty And his big argument against the treaty which most advocates contend is a step toward peace is that it could lead to a "world policeman" role for the United States Ervin unsuccessfully sought to add reservations to the treaty when it was approved by the Senate POLICEMAN Ervin contended that the treaty had no enforcement teeth and wasn't going to be adopted by the countries that most needed to restrict atomic bomb-building such as France Israel and perhaps China But "the most serious objection" Ervin contended was that in discussions before the treaty was signed US representatives sought to calm worries of countries without atomic bombs with statements that could be construed to say "that we will come to the aid of any non-nuclear treaty nation confronted with nuclear attack" Ervin said that authorities contended the interpretation wasn't "binding" But said Ervin "we are in a war in Vietnam for less authorization" "The most serious objection to the treaty is that it will be interpreted as a pledge that the United States will assume the role of world policeman at the very time when we are trying to extricate ourselves from the policies that brought us into the Vietnam war" INDIANS Sen Ervin will make a personal trip to the Pueblo Indian country to hear arguments that those historic Indians should be exemptedl frot his "Indians rights" law 1 Ervin will hold hearings in Albuquerque New Mexico on April 11-12 on a bill introduced by New Mexico senators The Pueblo who live on big remote reservations i southwestern States have a strong tradition of tribal control They are said to be up in arms figuratively at least because the Indian rights law authored by Sen Ervin weakens the control of tribal institutions which enforce tribal rules and laws Tbe rights law was fashioned in Ervin's constitutional rights subcommittee It seeks to give Indians some of the same sort of US civil rights safeguards offered FS citizens Are members of the predominantly-Negro North Carolina Teachers Association (NCTA) leaving that organization to join the predominantly-white North Carolina Education Association? That question was raised at the NCTA meeting here last week by one of its members in view of the dwindling NCTA membership rolls Officers of the NCTA disagree however on the answer and North Carolina Education Association (NCEA representatives say they are uncertain whether or not this is actually happening NCTA's current membership is under 10000 as compared to a high of 12400 four years ago NCEA's membership has been growing but only from 38775 last year to 39439 NCTA President Mrs Ruth Jones admitted she felt NCTA members had "deserted the ranks" to swell the NCEA roll NCTA Executive Director Palmer said however that no sizable number of the membership has left to join NCEA Palmer attributed what membership losses there have been to teachers in integrated schools who are simply dropping out of NCTA but not joining NCEA the loss of Negro teachers to other professions when Negro schools are closed and the loss of Negro teachers to other states Mrs Jones said that NCEA's insurance plan is evidently drawing some people who felt that it was better She said the NCTA would investigate this plan for its own members A spokesman for NCEA said that it keeps no records to show the race of new members There is also no way to determine if the new members had previously been members of NCTA he said a symbol of quality Kr Ilts- a smbol of quality Staff photo by Tom MacRae
