The legislation was introduced by House and Senate members of the Gressette Committee, which is studying ways to keep South Car olina’s traditional separation of white and Negro school pupils in the face of a U. S. Supreme Court order against such segregation. The particular bill in question— identical measures have been of fered in House and Senate along with several others—would give local school trustees power to lease or sell any school property in their district. The County school board would have to apiprove any' proposed lease or sale. Should this become law, school monthly meeting Monday after- 1 trustees would have the means to noon at Broad Street Methodist set up a system under whicn church wrfh Mrs. Lewis Pitts pres- school age children would get Study Club Has Meeting Wednesday The Wednesday Study club met last week at the home of Mrs. J.
