For County A First StepPresident Affirms Stance Is Unchanged

Desiie Foi Peace Is^Coupled_ With No Re^ftedt InTietnam

WASHINGTON (AP) ~ -President Johnson says he is very hopeful a way can ge found to spark Viet Nam peace talks. But he says the American desire for peace is coupled with a refusal to retreat.

The air-Jungle war in Southeast Asia dominated Johnsons 34-mInute news conference late Tuesday before 300 rcport|Brs gathered around televlMon and radio microphones in the historic East IU>om of the White Kouse.

On the home front, Johnson announced some good budget news. He said red-ink spending by the federal government In the bookkeeping year that ends June 30 now is estimated at $5.3 billion or less a drop of $1 billion from the January prediction.

Johnson also replied to critics of the antipoverty program I think It wUl be one of the great monuments to this administration - and announced eight appointments to high government jot.

A long range county - wide master plan has been recommended as the basis for improvements In the Pltt County Schools.

The suggestion was made by Dr. J. L. Pierce who is a member of the division of school planning for the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction.

He made his suggestion alter hearing the survey committee*! recommendatiwis for consolida-ti(m at a supper meeting of the county board of education Monday night.

*I dont find any aerloua ob-jecUons to tB

of the group. he said, notmg that they should be only temporary.

If Pltt County needs anything, It needs a county - wide master plan, he went on.

He advised the board not to make any permanent improvements until such a plan is developed. This county - wide plan would also include the Greenville School System,

He stressed the fact that the problems are great and that it is late to face up to them.

Among the problems he stressed were the small high schools, the shifting population and the still unknown effect of the 'Preedom of Choice principle on Pltt County.

pierce emphasized that it is hard to do' an adequate educa-tltmifi job "With school.

You are committed to educate all the children, he said in noting the inadequacies.

India Attacks American Aid

NEW DELHI, India (AP) India opened a campaign today against the U.S. military aid program to Pakistan, claiming Indian troops have had to fight off American-made tanks spearheading Pakistani attacks.

Photographs of tanks, said to have been taken by an Indian air force plane, were distributed to the press as documentary evidence that Pakistan has

the fighting in the sparsely Inhabited area. An official spokesman said nine Pakistani tanks have been destroyed and one disabled. He put Indian losses at 65 men killed, wounded, or missing.

In Karachi, a Pakistani Defense Ministry spokesman denied the Indian claims of Pakis-Uni losses.

The Pakistani spokesman said

been illegally using Its U.S. mU- after four days of heavy fighting

Itary aid against India in the Rann of Kutch axea on the western frontier.

There Is no way of telling from the photographs where or when they were taken or to whose army they belonged. But an official spokesman said they were part of a Pakistani column surprised in Indian territory near Blar-Bet In the Rann of Kutch Monday.

India says a big battle wasj fought in this area and claims, that altogether It ha* destroyed 10 American-made medium tanks weighing 45 tons and known as Pattons.

As to the fighting In the Rann' of Kutch, Prime Minister Lai Bahadur Shastri said India is ready to call a cease-fire but his country Is prepared for the i alternative. :

Shastri also told Parliament hlv government rejects all Pak-Irtans claims in the Kutch area n'ar the Arabian Sea.

Pakistani President Ayub Khan had appealed earlier for a c'*a.se-flre and negotiations. But Shastris statement indicated t)mt India and Pakistan would r'^.naln deadlocked over the Is-sui of territorial claims that led I' the fighting.

M lull hi the action was re-roited from the battle area.

Itdla has claimed that at least 300 Pakistanis have been kilkd wounded or captured In

the Indian military outpost of Blar-Bet fell into Pakistani hands and that Pakistani troops have pushed about 20 miles acrass what India claims is its border along the disputed frontier.

The Pakistani spokesman de-cilried to give casualty figures for either side.

as temporary, very tempor-t ary, measures. j

Pierce suggested that the, cnunty board ask the transpor* * tation division of the state de- partraent to study the specific situation in the northern half of the county, and also the Grimes-land and Chiood areas. ,

He said that there ought to be separate transportation for | elementary and high school children and noted that it would make a better educational situation."

Pierce said that it Is time to apply thq principle of. all the wealtli behind all the children.** There must be a broad financial base for the schools.

To get a better end product, you must put more money in education.

He noted that the county board would have to determine standards, particularly In a building program and suggested that If you determine where a permanent structure will be, then go first class, it will save later.

Dr. Pierce also stressed the need to improve strong, central planning and administration toward a total system and that the county board should only be a policy making body.

He said that the proposed interim move is very practical and told the board to think in the broadest perspectives.

Assistant Superintendent Alford said, Accepting Dr. Pierces suggestions and recommendations for a master plan of school improvement and reorganization, It nevertheless would take some five years or more In oV|ler to get the necessary votes, develop plans, provide architectural drawings and to actually erect buildings.

Alford also recognized the values to be found in the con-.solidatlon of the small high schools and that the interim period would of necessity Involve from four to six years.

Dr. Pierce was asked what would be gained by early consolidation rather than delaying more.

Its a relative thing depending now on several factors, he replied.

He noted that since the enactment of the civil rights bill It would be hard to say, but that he would question any permanent Improvements until more is known.

He did enumerate the following advantages of consolidation: Stronger faculty, teachers working more In their areas of competence, stronger administration, better libraries and fulltime librarians. Improved guidance, Improved vocational education and phy.slcal education, a substantial buslnes.s and commercial program, a full music program and an art program.

A library Is the heart of a school system. he stressed.

He also noted that the state Is unwise In allocating tcacliers when they are going to be placed In Inadequate facilities because of difficulties thev lace (Continued on page 20)

City School Board Near Final Plan

The Greenville City School Board began work on a definite plan for desegragation in a special meeting last night. The plan in compliance with Title VI of the OvU Rights Act of 1964 Is ta tw final stages, but j*emains unapproved by the board.

The delayed approval Is only a formal procedure to allow time for legal terminology revisions to be made. The city board is expected to act upon the plan within a few days.

Another Item of business that was acted upon by the board in the special meeting was a move to award a contrMt for the construction of a field house to Rose High School. A low bid of $70,976.00 was accepted by the board.

The new building Is an addition to the Physical Education and Health facilities of the school. It will be a separate building located directly behind the existing gymnasium dressing rooms and 30 feet away from the other buildings.

Mechanical facilities are to be served from the present boiler room.

Th fieldhouse will ctmslst of two large dressing rooms and shower facilities for 100 men. Two classrooms for physical education and health, storage for equipment, a training room, and an office will also be housed by the building.

Ington visits by the leaders of Psdclstan and India, Johnson said he had explained'to them it would be better If they came after Congress acts on foreign aid, which both will be seeking.

So far as I know, he said, it is a good decision and a wise one, and one that I would make again tomorrow.

Johnson, In response to another Inquiry, declined to be drawn into a dlscuseUx) <rf possible use of nuclear arms in Southeast Asia but did say, I have never had a suggestion from a single official of this govcrnmait or employe of this government concerning the use of such weaix>ns In this area.

The President began by reading a statement on Viet Nam in v/hich he said:

America has not changed hei essential position, and that purpose Is peaceful settlement. That purpose is to resist aggression. That purpose Is to avoid a

wider war, -

He said anew that I will talk to any government, anywhere any time, without any conditions, about peace. And later, repljrkig to a question, he said: I tun very hopeful that some ways and means can be found to bring the parties who are Interested In Southeast Asia to the conference table. Just what those ways and means will be, I dont know. But every day we

explore to the limit of our ca-IHLcity every possible political and diplomatic move that would bring that about.

In his statement, Johnson said hr would continue a Viet Nam policy which he described in tiese worda: Flnmies* with moderation, readiness for peace, with refusal to retreat.

Johnson argued that defeat in South Viet Nam would endanger our own welfare, our own frce-d(Hn He said that from Munich to the present, the clearest lesson of our time 1* that to yield to aggression brings only greater threats and brings even more destructive war.

He said that to stand firm is the only guarantee of a lasting peace.

Munich became a s]rmbol ol appeasement of Nazi Ciermany more than 25 years ago and Johnson was asked If he felt any opponents of his Viet Nam policy could be likened to the ap-peasers of the IMOs.

We want honest f(thrlght discussion In this country, he replied, and that will be discussion with differences of views, and we welcome what our friends have to try, whether they agree with us or not. He said. I think you do a great disservice whi you engage In name<callQg.

Present for the conference were eight men chosen by John

son for high federal posts. He introduced them one by one: Undersecretary of Agriculture CTharles 8. Murphy, being nominated as r>hairman of the C3vil Aeronautics Board.

Clergy Flatly Refute Alobaman's Charge Of Immorality On Rights March

WASHINGTON (AP) - A proiip of clergymen who took part In the Selma-Montgomery civil right march denied today an Alabama congressmans clarge that It was marked by widespread Immorality.

Rep. William L. Dickinson

House pe(?ches. He told the House Tuesday he haa 30 sworn ptatements as proof of *exutl In.morality on the march.

Dickinson wa* called a little Joe McCarthy, by one of the cl"rgymen, the Rev. Dom Orsl-nl a Pittsburgh Episcopal pr'est.

Orsinl, who marched the entire way. said Dlckln*(m la rem-

saw. we admired, we loved.

The group, which also Included^ a nun and two theological tudents, held a news conference near the Capitol to denounce Dickinsons charge.

They said the marchers were disciplined, orderly And deeply dedicated to the )blvU rights cause for which they were dcm* onatretlng.

Tight security measures vveie taken at each camp, mens and womens tents were separated and 40 men patrolled the camp all night, even entering the tents periodically to make sure ev-erytWng was all right, they said.

It Is virtually lmpos.slblc to Imagine anyone being able to go Into the bushes for any kind of activity such as Mr. Dickinson described,* said James Martin, student body president at San Francisco Theological Seminary, who headed a 60-member security and clean-up crew on the march.

The Rev. Richard F. Dlckln-sri. a United Church qt CJhrist ml*sl(kry, added: you would

ftid more friendly conversations between boys and girls at a church camp than on the march. These people were deeply con.sclous of the high purpose of their undertaking.

The Rev. Rodney Shaw, director of a Methodist Church organization, said the group was assembled, not to defend the clergy or the march against Dcklnsona attack, but to coun-teract Its Impact on young people. Reprints of Blcklnson'a first speech have been widely cl^ culated, he said.

Shaw and the others also said they Vere disturbed by Dickinsons method of attack ~ on the House floor where i^he is Immune from legal prosecution or ques

tioning.

The Rev. Mr. Dickinson said the group called on Rep. Gerald F Ford. R-Mlch., House minority leader, and several other Republicans yesterday In an attempt to enlist their support against Rep. Dickinsons .ipt*ech.

I was exti*emely disappointed that no Republican stood up after Mr. Dickinson finished, said the missionary, who described himself as a Re-pitbllcan.

Shaw, who also said he Is a Republican, called on Ford and other Republican leaders to set ihe record straight as to where the party stands on civil rights. , Bister Mary LeoUnc, Kaoaa*

city. Mo., the only nun who went the entire march route, said she wa* shown the photographs the Alabama congressman has said he would present r. proof of his charges, when shi and the other members of the group called on him the day before he made his speech.

He had a thick envelope of pictures." Sister Mary said. I asked if 1 could see them. I looked at every one. None was identified or dated.

I saw nothing offensive to n-e, If it hadnt.been a racially mixed group, if they hadnt been weary, ajid if they were rot engaged In civil rights activities. no one would pay any attention to th* pictures.

The Raleigh episcopal head cited the invasion of Mexico by Cortea In 1519 and noted that the Spanish militarist took ashore only 300 soldiers. These 300 soldiers were able to subdue the Aztec empire as the Spanish invade were able to get them arguing among themselves."

Noting that eastern Carolina la predominantly rural, he cited the organization of 96 new congregations and a membership Increus* of 33,000 new members as an indication of the evangelistic emphasis of Methodism In th* state.

Th* eye* (rf national Methodism have been on eastern NonH Carolina. he stated, with the successful operetlon of our two new colleges at Rocky Mount a;ul Fayetteville. In 1980 the North Cahrflna Methodlit Conference opened MetluxUst OUege at Fayetteville and North Carolina Wesleyan at Rocky Mount.
