From County Troopers Arrest 3, Confiscate 2 Cars Three young Franklin County men have been arrested and two new cars confiscated following what State Troopers described as a "pre-arranged" highway racing spectacular near Roles ville early Sunday morning. State Trooper E. T. Green said that Lin Lewis White, 19, of Route 1, Youngsville, and David Walter Barber, 19, of Route 3, Zebulon were both eharged with pre-arranged highway racing. David Terry Brantley, 21, of Route 2, Zebu lon, was charged with aiding and abetting. White's new 1964 Chevrolet and Barber's new 1964 FOrd were both confiscated. Green said the arrests were made after he and other troop ers had observed a series of high speed races on a rural paved road near Rolesville be tween 12:30 a.m., and 3 a.m. Sunday. He said the Patrol ex pected to make several ad ditional arrests during the next few days among persons identi fied at the scene. A tragedy was barely avoided about 1 .a.m. during a race be tween two cars, he said. "They were traveling down the road toward the spectators | at speeds of around 100 mph when one of the spectators stepped out into the path of the cars. Another spectator step ped into the road to pull th' first man back, cai. sing one of the cars to swerve sharply, narrowly missing the other car. The swerving car then went off the right shoulder of the road for 120 feet, swerved back across to the left shoulder where it traveled for 40 feet, jumped a three-foot open ditch, plowed through a row of shrub bery and became stuck in the front yard of Robert T. Rog ers." Spectators helped to push the car back into the road, Gre*n said. The patrol said vehicles from Bunn, Youngsville, Franklin ton, Zebulon and Henderson were observed at the scene Sunday. Green said racing in the area approached the scope of the road racing activity in the Creedmoore area which re sulted in some seventeen ar rests last Aug. The three arrested Sunday were placed under $500 bond for appearance Jan. 15 in Zebu lon Recorders Court.

News Report - From Washington Washington, D. C. ??Thi Democratic ticket Is getting much thought In Washington these days, even though It Is widely accepted that presi dent Lyndon Johnson will be his party's first nominee. The fact that It is widely Ac cepted, however, doesn't mean no other Democrat will openly bid for the top nomination. Several Congressmen predicted confidently in the closltig days of the congressional session that Johnson would have oppo sition In the convention, a But traditionally the party nominates a Vice President who has suci eeded to the Presi dency. It Is almost Impossible td repudiate one's own Presi dent?and Johnson is In every way qualified by training and experience. Thus speculation renters mainly around Johnson's run ning mate. For a time, In the emotional backwash of the as sasslnat ion of president Jbhn F. Kennedy, it was assumed Rob ert Kennedy, the Attorney Gen eral, was number one. But Robert and the president have had their differences, and some of them were sharp. Also, Robert has never been elected to a public office, and In his position as Attorney Gen eral, has alienated powerful groups and sections of the coun try. He is most unpopular In the South. The business com munity recalls with distaste his 'vendetta' *galnst business seg ments. A number of political experts think Johnson could start with fewer deficits in selecting an other easterner, perhaps anoth er member of the Kennedy clan. Johnson might run with a pop ular easterner such as Mayor Robert Wagner of New York or Governor Richard Hughes of New Jersey, but there areri*t many Democratic Governors In the key eastern States. He might run w.th R.Sargent Shrlv er, who was th'e last president's brother* in-law, Is Catholic and head of the Peace Corps. There Is always a danger that in trying to limit the choice to an easterner and a Catholic the ?>est man will be passed over. This has not been the politt- j cal rule of thumb at any time in U. S. political history, but because of the fact that Ken nedy was a Catholic, the argu ment is often heard that John son's running mate should be of that faith. Yet Kennedy won in spite of his Catholic handicap, not be cause of it, and Lyndon John son starts with the handicap of being a southerner. Should another dubious factor be ad ded? Also, there Is a real danger in the minds pf many in putting someone on the tick et with Johnson merely because he was in *the Kennedy hi erarchy. Among those of the clan being mentioned,, including Bobby Kennedy and Sargent Shriver, none really has the background, training, elective experience and record to justify being sec [ond in command of the country. They are being boomed and groomed mostly on a sentimen- ? tal quallfication--which may not be enough in the glare of a tough campaign. Johnson cannot afford to of fend the Kennedy family cir cle and
