Element of Winter By MURRELL SMITH A noble tree sheds au tumn’s flaming red leaves; its foliage flutters softly down through streaks of sunlight and rest on tender green sprouts.

SENATOR A SAM ERVIN A * says * MORGANTON Anticrime legislation is sure to get more attention in the 90th Congress. Crime rates have continued to soar in recent months, and the National Crime Commission, which is conducting a study on the problem, reports that a great proportion of crime is not even reported in these rates. Recommendations to curb crime often get bogged down in controversy. Congress has faced the situation' for some time. The hope that the President expressed at the first meeting of the National Crime Commission in Sep tember, 1965, that crime will be banished has come to grips with the problem more recently. Cc-ngress came bp with a long studied crjrne bill for the District of Co lumbia at. the last session and passed it. It suffered a Presidential veto. Few now white mantle. The cold wind blows and whistles through the house and shed. Tiie cold wind bends the trees to and fro, as. they crack and moan from the cold. The cold wind sprinkles the stars and sea stored them ’boi l like sugar drops. The cold wind blows as the oval moon looks down upon the undulating swells and depressions of the furrowed | fields. The cold wi n d blows j wrinkles into the face of the earth. look for any easy solutions to crime. Two Presidential commis sions, one to study national and one to study District of Columbia problems, have been working on anticrime recommendations for months. The recommendations of these commissions are cer tain to get much attention, but it is well to remember that almost everyone has an opinion about how to cur tail crime. Congress, the President, and the Courts have been having a say about the subject since it be came t national issue. There is an overriding concern which it would be well to emphasize again. The truth is that recent Supreme Court rulings have been ruling out reliable evidence because the majority of the Court has disagreed with the way the police havs gathered it. The latest step which the Court took in this direction came last June when the Miranda decision reversed state court convictions for kidnapping, rape, and rob bery, and a federal court conviction for robbery. The •majority epinion was on the ground that the convictions were based upon voluntary confessions made by the ac cused while they were being questioned by law enforce ment officers who had them in custody. As a result, law enforce ment officers and the trial courts are experiencing more difficulty and oftentimes the impossibility of getting con- i victions against confessed | criminals. Justice Harlan appraised aright the major- i ity decision in the Miranda case when he declared in his ! dissenting opinion that “the decision of the court repre sents poor constitutional law and entails harmful conse- of the county at large.” The court decisions cannot be overlooked in any ap praisal of the crime situa tion. They have, erected ar tificial rules to protect the accused on the theory that society needs little protec tion from criminals. Over- > ridden is the fundamental purpose of criminal law which is to protect society against criminals. True, the law desires to avoid convic tion of any innocent person, and establishes the legal presumption of innocence in favor of the accused at every stage* of his trial. From time to time the law has erected many safeguards to insure that the accused has s fair trial. Un*il recently, however, it has not sought to erect barriers to the truth. Formerly the courts relied . on the judgment of (he trial judge who performed the task of ruling on the admis sibility of voluntary con fessions. The artificial bar riers set by the Supreme Court have imposed unne cessary burdens on law en forcement officers, the trial courts and society. Law abiding citizens have rights, tco, and I think it is time to secure those rights. For this reason, I plan to reintroduce my proposed constitutional amendment to restore society’s right to have greater protection from crim inals who confess their guilt voluntarily in federal and state courts.

This Is The La* By ROBERT E. LEE (For the N. C. Bur Association MISREPRESENTATION OF BRIDE Henry Brown, a wealthy and highly respected man, met Mary Green, an attrac tive young woman, while at tending a religious conven tion. Mary informed Henry that she was a church work er and that she had been on but a .few dates with men. She appeared very retiring and shy, and Henry had to have numerocs dates with her before he could get even a good-night kiss. She rep resented to him that she was a virgin and had never used intoxicating beverages or cigarettes. Henry married Mary. When they attempted to register at a resort hotel on the first night of their honeymoon, the night clerk refused to assign them to a room. The hotel clerk in formed Henry that prosti tutes were not permitted to register at the hotel and that Mary had been thrown out of the hotel as such only a few weeks earlier. Upon further inquiries, Henry discovered that Mary was well known among ho tel men as a prostitute, that she had been convicted on such charges in the courts several times, and was also an alcoholic. Mary was definitely not the kind of girl she had represented herself to be. She had never done any church work; in fact, she was not even a church member. Henry did not continue his honeymoon with Mary. He abandoned her in the lobby of the hotel on the .first night of his married life. He has not since seen her I May Henry Have his marri- I age annulled? No. There does not exist a ground for an annulment lof the marriage. Mary is I the legal wife of Henry. He must maintain and suppor, her. ■’Prenuptial unchastity” is A ON SALE NOW!

Mis representations or conceal ments as to wealth, occupa tion, rank and character are not usually grounds for an nulment. If Mary should subsequent to her marriage engage in prostitution or commit a single act of adultery, her husband would be able to obtain from her an absolute divorce decree on the ground of adultery. This would be a marital otifense committed subsequent to the marriage. Legally speaking, Henry, was not justified in abandon- j ing his bride at the begin- 1 ning 'of their honeymoon.: He cannot after a one year’s ! separation dissolve the mar riage by a divorce obtained on the statutory ground of one year’s separation if Mary properly contests the action. The separation was occasion ed by a willfll abandonment on the part of the husband. Lunchroom Menus Menus at the Ernest Swain !
