ShadyGrove-Boy^ Winner In Contest Also, he declared, the hospital and the State Training School at Clin ton for mentally deficient children need more money for employees, who are overworked and underpaid, i The constitutional changeJBymes recommended would knock out a Section directing the Assembly to provide free public schopls “for all children between the age's of six and 21 years.’’ South Carolina’s segregated school system is under attack in the Fed eral Courts. A District Court has held that segregation may continue if facilities are equal. This decision has been appealed to the U. S. ‘Su preme Court. If the Supreme Court holds seg regation unconstitutional, Byrnes explained, the section of the State Constitution ordering schools for all children “should be repealed’’ so legislators could “determine by statute future policy of thf State.’’ (The proposed change would have to be submitted to voters in this year’s general election.) . Byrnes also renewed his endorse ment of a pending resolution call ing an election on a State consti tutional convention. The resolution has been adopted by the House and is before the Senate. Here are other recommendations in Byrnes’ message.. There should T be no exemption from the three-per cent general sales tax that started last July 1, “If you grant one exemption, you will have to grant many.” The legal'provision for State In dustrial* Commissioners to represent employers, employees and the pub lic should be eliminated.
