PAGE SIX —SECTION TWO Court Decision Frees Three Here The impact of recent U. S. Supreme Court decisions was felt in Chowan County Re corder’s Court here Tuesday. Three tried to completion when the ques tion was raised of the de- constitutional, rights having teen' violated. ' All three cases involved * iolations Os the motor ve hicle laws. Judge William S. Privott dismissed the case in which James D. Miller, 17, Route 3, Windsor, was charged with reckless driving, when it was LiOtt w iiv vut wat. xvaliicl' not been advised of his rights. Two other traffic violation cases v.ere nol prossed by Solic tor Thomas Chears, Jr., for the. same reason. They were: J. C. Russell Holly, .26 Route 1. HobbsvHte, and Georee Wilson Basemore, 13, 214 East School Street. Holly was charged with failing to have a valid operator's ii 'eense while Bazemore was •.citort tor reckless driving. The Supreme .Court has ruled that a defendant’s .statement cannot be used in court hnless he has first been gdvised of his rights under the constitution. These in clude the right to remain sil nt and obtain counsel. The di-posal of these three •rases cut considerably the time necessary to try cases on this week's docket.

Bill Monds, President. Debbie Hobbs, Reporter The Diplomatic Pouch WASHINGTON — W* faftowlng letters were recently answered by the Department of State: I wish to know the exact price of the building the Panama Canal. Please rush. A.B.R. Boston, Mass. Dear A.: The construction of the Canal cost $366,- 650,000, according to the Report on United States Relations with Panama issued by the Subcommittee on Inter-American Affairs of the .Committee on Foreign Affairs, 86th Congress, second session (Washington, 1960). The Department of State has no figures of its own to offer since the construction of the Canal Was the responsibility of other agencies of the United States Government. * * * Will the military and economic aid that the United States is now giving South Viet nam be repayable to this country? A.M.R. Mattituck, N. Y. Dear Mr. R.: Because of the heavy demands the war time situation places upon the resources of the Vietnamese economy, the majority of current aid to Vietnam does not require re payment in the usual sense. Just as in the case of Korea during and immediately fol lowing the conflict there, the difficulties of lighting the Communists insurgents have so reduced the Vietnamese earnings of dollars and other foreign exchange earning poten tial that we could give them almost no help if we expected repayment in dollars. Once reconstruction is well underway at the end of hostilities, we expect that the Vietnamese wi 1 also develop a capacity to begin pay ing for aid in foreign exchange on a loan ba s is just as the Koreans are now doing. However, the Vietnamese do In one way make payment for a great majority of our aid. For example, aid commodities sent to Vietnam under the U. S. Commercial Im port Program are paid for by the Vietnam ese private importers in local currency, and these local currency amounts are deposited j to account of the U. S. Government, i This Vietnamese currency is then turned, over to the Government of Vietnam to be I used in support of programs mutually agreed upon by the U. S. and Vietnamese Govern ments. The majority of the U. S. surplus agricultural products exported to Vietnam under the Food for Peace program are simi larly paid for in local currency. Together these two programs represent about 70 per cent of our total non-military assistance to Vietnam. Moreover, to establish the principle of aid repayment, certain aid has been given on a loan basis, bearing interest at higher rates if repaid in local currency than if re paid in dollars. These U. S. loans since the mid-50’s total approximately $92 million and center on such development projects as the Vietnamese railroad, improvement of municipal water supply, and modernization of the electric power and tele-comm'Uhica tions system. Rocky Hock 4-H Plans Discussed The Rocky Hock 4-H Club met Friday, July 22. The meeting was called to order by the vice president, David Spruill. The American Pledge was led by Roddy Leary; the 4-H Pledge was led by Darlene Evans. We discussed our jslans for August. We are having a picnic at Arrowhead Beach tom 2:00 until 7:00 August 19. The parents are invited. We are to bring what tV family can eat. Then we will out it together. Then the meeting was turned over to Mrs. Vvsrd and Mr. Venters. The club was divjded into groups to make plans for the coming year. Suggestions for THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY AUGUST 11, 1966. The enclosed booklet, published by the Foreign Languages Press ift Peking, was found near a local university. The message presented in it is clearly biased and hostile to the United States. How did this get into the cpuntiy? An exchange of materials be tween honest and honorable men would be legitimate, but you must know they have no intention to be factual and dependable. G.R. Madison, Wise. Dear Senator R.: Let us assure you that we have no illus-r ions about the character of the Chinese or other communists. Nevertheless, we feel that it is essential for the formation of our foreign policy tc study Peking’s statements and intentions. Many universities in the United States have completed invaluable re search on many aspects of Communist China for the Department of State, the Depart ment of Defense, and forj other organizations. Scholars would not have 'been able to carry out this research without the pertinent docu ments and papers. We have been able to’ obtain relatively scarce Chinese Communist magazines and other papers through our current policy of permitting them to be im ported. The sample you sent us carried a mark indicating that other copies had been filed with the Department of Justice, as required by law. * * * I would like to know Bulgaria’s position in the United Nations, and how it stands on the following issues: 1. The Pakistan-India dispute over Kash mir; 2. Apartheid; 3. Jordan-Israel dispute - over the nat ural resources of that area; 4. The United States’ involvement in Viet nam. N.H.T. Germantown, Ohio Dear Miss T.: In the United Nations, Bulgaria closely follows the lead of the USSR and rarely deviates from the foreign policy line of that country. Thus,' in the dispute over Kash mir, Bulgaria has verbally been inclined to favor India, inasmuch as the Soviet Union has been generally inclined the same way. As to apartheid, Bulgaria continues to be opposed to this policy in any form, and uses such forums as the United Nations to de nounce apartheid vehemently. With regard to the Jordan-Israel dispute over the natural resources of that area, Bulgaria has tended to favor Jordan. As is the case with all Communist countries. Bulgaria has been highly critical of the U. S. involvement in Viet-Nam and has verbaly attacked the poli cy of this country on a number of occasions i on this issue. You are probably aware thht in Deciqi- 1 ber 1965, Bulgaria was elected to one of the temporary seats on the Security Council of the United Na lions. Do you have an inquiry?

Each spring, many homeowners vow that this year they'll have a greener, healthier lawn. Many will, because better lawn products and more informa tion now than ever before on how to mow, water and fertilize for best lawn appearance. One of the essentials, often ne glected, is proper feeding, notes National Plant Food Institute. U.S. Department of Agriculture says about haif the nation’s home owners use some lawn fertilizer, but less than half use enough for a healthy, attractive lawn. • Proper feeding means fertilizing at least cave in smiqg, on e in fall.

Proper mowing promotes thick turf. Begin when grass is three to four inches high. Never clip shorter than Hi inches. Excep tions are bent grass, Bermuda grass, zoysia. and Merion blue grass-fawns. Use a sharp mower; dull mower blades bruise and shred grass, make lawn unattractive. Water only when needed, says the Institute, then soak soil foe or six inches deep to er.;ourr;:e deep rooting.
