From Herald*s Yellowed Pages SO YEARS AGO Construction of the pro posed lo#ig vehicular bridge across Albemarle Sound, for which Edenton had been earnestly striving i'or four or five years, became a fore gong conclusion and possibly wthin a ye,ar would be a of reality. Contracts vt'&e Jwarded by the State Highway and Public Works • - —« SENATOR j, SAM ERVIN * SAYS * -r- ‘ • WASHINGTON Most would agree with the "President’s pronounce ment in his State of the Union message that “this na tion must, make an all out effort to combat crime.’’ Latest FBI statistics indi cate that serious crime throughout the United States increased 10 per cent during the first nine months of 196(5 . In our great cities citizens are faced with increased odds that they may become the victims of muggings, vi cious assaults, burglaries and wanton destruction of prop erty. - . „ Crime rates are closely re lated to the effectiveness of law enforcement. Federal grants and national crime commissions are important, but these aids and agencies do not alter the fact that our police must have the oppor tunity o curb crime. When all is said, we find that our 1a w enforcement officers have been denied reasonable procedures in recent years which were once great bul warks against crime. Su preme Court rulings and particularly the recent Mir anda vs. Arizona case have moved so far to protect the rights of the accused that public safety has been rele gated to the back row of the court room. Such decisions seem to be based upon the theory that society needs little .protection from crim inals, but criminals need much protection from law enforcement officers. I agree with those who cull this un wise philosophy “fox hunt theory of law enforce ment” because it tends to ward viewing -the criminal law as.a gu*ne in which tin criminal, like the fox, should be given an even chance to escape. There is no doubt that tlx Miranda case tilts the scales of justice in favor Os those accused of crime and against the prosecution, The com has lost sight of die fact that the accuser and society are just as much entitled 1 t; justice as the accused.

At a special meeting of Town Council it was agreed to , lease a tract of land 210 x 310 feet on the fair grounds to i. L. Wiggins to be used in connection with the Wilkes Veneer Mill. An improvement was made | law 1 enforcement procedures. *My resolution would re | establish the very sensible | and sound rule that the vol ! untarv confession of an, ac cu*?d in a criminal case shall be admissible in evi dence against him at his i trial. It provides in sub stance that the only test of the admissibility of the con fession of guilt in a criminal cast 1 is its voluntary char acter, and states that the de cision of the trial judge that a paricu’ar confession is vol unarv shall not be reversed if it is supported by any competent testimony in the case. The amendment would restore the rule which the Supreme Court itself recog nized as valid until recently and which prevailed in ail states whose legal systems are based upon the common law. The effects of the Miranda case are being felt through out the country. In New York, for example, the dis trict attorney of Brooklyn has stated that there was a 40 per cent increase in the number of suspects who re fused to njake confessions in criminal cases after Miranda. This has\' placed mounting burdens on law enforcement officers',-for the-truth is that there Is no stronger evidence against afty suspect than his vol unta ry * .confess ion that he committed a crime which must be established by other testimony independent c.f his confession. T expect to press for ac tion on this measure, because I think it is evident that law-abiding citizens need this protection.
