Drivers^s Licenes
Ring Uncovered at
Goldsboro Prison
GOLDSBORO, N. C. 1^1 — A
bogus driver’s license ring has
been uncovered at the prison
prison camps.”
Highway Patrol Sgt. T. W.
Fearing said today, “We think
we nipped it in the bud. If we
had not caught it when we did
it might have spread to other
prinson camps.'
A bogus driver’s license found
on a Goldsboro Negro, Eddie
Mack Bass, was traced to
prisoners working as janitors in
state office buildings in Raleigh,
Fearing said.
He said an unidentified prison
trusty stole a driver’s license
form and made copies of it.
Steps have been taken. Fearing
added, to eliminate a recurrence.
Bass, a former convict, was
sentenced last week to eight
months in prison for driving
after his license was revoked
and driving with a bogus license.
Fearing said McKinley Evans, a
prisoner here, admitted selling
the license to Bass for one
dollar.
A bogus license was found at
the home of prisoner Cleveland
Mason of Wilson. Fearing added
Mason admitted mailing it home.

Anywhere from 3,000 to 7,000
dogs—wild ones and pets alike—
were shot during the rabies epi

received anti-rabies treatment.
The diseased dogs began stray

A quarantine covering a 350-

It has been more than two
weeks since a rabid dog was dis

officer says if the area gets
through February without anoth

lifted March 1.
Across the border in Mexicali,

Speaking from the same stand
from which President Eisenhower

The Air Force announced that
the successful shot Thursday night

Earlier today, Khrushchev had
met alone with Prime Minister
Ne'.u'u ior nearly three hours dur-
mg which it was assumed India’s
Dorder dispute with Red Cnina
w?s dis'.usscd. Although many In
i’ians hoped Khrushchev wo'.ild
persuade Red China to pull her
troops out of Himalayan territory
both nations claim, Nehru was
•eported to have no suc'i hopes
and to doubt that Khrushchev bad
er.ough influence with Mao T7.2-
tung to change the Chinese lead
er’s couise.
Khru.:hchev coupled his attack
on “advpoates of tho co'd war”
wit” a new declaration tail the
*oviet Union is determined to
surpass the United States in per
capita production within a few
ypcrs.
“This will enable us to have the
highes; living standards in tiie
world and at the same time the
shortest working day.” he haid.
‘According to all rules of com
petition we have made our chal
lenge known to the United States
“V/e to’d them ‘Let us compete
in thf peafrful drve'opment •jf
economy and not in the produc
tion of armaments.’
‘■Our proples. our countries and
the peoples of the entire world
will benefit from that. We are
not afi-a:d of that competition and
we are confident we shall win”
After their long talk, Khrush
chev and Nehru watched the sign
ing of an agreement under which
the Soviet Union will lend the
equivalent of 378 million dollars
for India’s 21-billion-dollar, third
five-year plan, which begins
l^ei. The agreement sealed
?nce before Parliament gave no
indication that Khrushchev had
given hjn any encouragement on
the border issue. He emphasized
India’s tlesire for a friendly set
tlement with Red China but said,
‘I see no ground whatever” for
a settif^ent now.
There is no common ground be
tween Ilia Indian and Chine-ic posi-
cions, said Nehru. He added there
■s “notliing to negotiate at pres-
ant.”

By Roy Essoyan
NEW DELHI, India AP — So
viet Premier Nikita Khrushchev
is walking a tightrope during his
goodwill visit to India.
His speeches and public ap
pearances during the first day of
the visit gave every evidence
that he did not relish his unac
customed role.
He spent the first day trying
to assure Indians that, whatever
Communist China may be do
ing on the India-Tibet border,
world communism’s intentions
are peaceful and friendly.
But he could not censure Red
China without alienating the So
viet Union’s most powerful ally.
And he could not support Pei
ping's position in the 'oitter bor
der dispute without arousing a
storm of protest from his hosts.
Khrushchev is not one to avoid
generalities, but he likes to spice
them with blustering broadsides.
In his speech to the Indian Par
liament, he took a few side
swipes at Western imperialism,
but they fell flat. His listeners
are far more concerned over the
encroaching imperialism of Com
munist China.
Khrushchev started his visit
looking solemn and sober, a far
cry from his usual bouncy self.
By the end of the first day he
seemed tired and dispirited. It
was anybody’s guess whether he
vas dispirited or whether he was
just tired.
“There is some advantage
from the Communist point of
view to blow hot and cold sim
ultaneously on any giver, issue,”
an American observer comment
ed.
Most observers place little
stock in the theory that a dis
crepancy between the current
Soviet and Chinese attitudes to
ward peaceful coexistence with
the West is all part of a devious
Communist plot. If tliis hot-and-
cold tactic had been planned be
forehand by Peiping and Mos
cow, they say, Khrushchev would
have read his lines better in his
speeches here.
Fayetteville Man
Candidate For Gov.
RALEIGH AP — Terry San
ford paid his filing fee today to
make his candidacy for gover
nor official while Atty. Gen.
Malcolm Seawell said he defi
nitely was considering running.
Seawell, answering a news
man’s question, said;
“I’m considering it, yes.
When you add that word ‘ser
ious,’ I don’t know how serious
in it is, although it has gone be-
a lyond the wishful-thinking stage.”
Several months ago, Seawell’s
name had been prominently
mentioned in speculation about
candidates for governor. Of late,
however, this had subsided and
most folks figured he would run
for election as attorney general.
“Within 10 days I’ll be in the
governor’s race or seeking reel
ection as the state’s attorney
general,” said Seawell.
He said his entry in tot he
race would not be prompted by
the amount of money he could
raise for a campaign, as neces
sary as financing is.
“I do not think the office of
governor is for sale,” he said.
