School Tuition
System Basis
Fixed In Bill
By DEL BOOTH
Associated Prem Staff Writer
Columbia, Jan. 15.—The ground
work for a system of tuition-sup
ported public education is con
tained in bills now before the new
91st General Assembly.
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
