QUINNS FUNERAL HOME 24-HOUR SERVICE PHONE 3306 j 211 W. HAKNETT ST. DUNN, N. C. 1 These Days gckdskii THE FIFTH AMENDMENT Professor Henry Steele Comma ger of Columbia University once Wrote; “Certainly it is a gross prever sion not only of the concept of loy alty but rs the concept of Ameri canism to identify it with a particu lar economic system" This is undoubtedly true but it is unimportant, I do not believe that any question cl an “economic system" is Involved in the contest which is being waged in this coun try against the communists, s gainst subvershe or corrupt per sons. Certainly when a protest is made against a thieving tax col lector, the issue is not whether he Is a capitalist or o socialist, a Re publican or a Democrat. The point is that we are shocked by the fact that thieves have worked their way Into government. We challenge them as thieves. So communists are not opposed because they believe in government ownership of the means of produc tion. dietiibution and exchange but because they are agents, spies, pro vocateurs for an alien power, for a government that uses propaganda, Infiltration and corruption as a means of military conquest. Those, therefore, who use the Fifth Amendment, which they have a legal right to use, to avoid giv ing information concerning this conspiracy are morally guilty of aiding those who would destroy this country. Here is a definite conflict be tween a legal ritrht and a moral responsibility. Which shall pre vail? The Fifth Amendment provides: “ho person shall be held to ans wer for a capital, or otherwise In famous crime, unlesr on a present ment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or Naval forces, or in ths militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject‘for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.” Those who. in communist cases, claim immunity from questioning under the terms of the Fifth Amendment do so under the words, “nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness a gainst himself.” Actually, It is r.o crime in the United States to be a communist, but it is Illegal to engage in a con spiracy to destroy our government. It is not Illegal -to oppose the capi talist system but it is illegal to be * spy- A Congressional committee is not a court of law and does not try cases, but the information gather ed by such a committee .may be used by prosecuting officials to ob tain an indictment for a crime. While it is not possible to claim double jeopardy in connection with a Congressional committee, it is possible to claim self-incrimina tion. Although no ere is to be adjudg ed guilty of anything because he has been subpoenaed by a Con gressional committee or questioned by it, it is reasonable to asaume that if a witness claims the im munities of the Fifth Amendment, he knows that he has done some thing which could be self-incri minating. In a word he admits ■*- ral guilt where no legal charge has Fet been made. This right that no person may be required to incriminate himself is strictly personal. No one may plead that the provision of infor mation will incriminate a third person. Therefore, those wifetses before Congressional committees who refuse to name others, are wrong when they claim immunity under the Fifth Amendment unless they have conspired with these others to commit a crime. In ef fect. when they make such a plea they establish the existence of a conspiracy to which thy pleader has been a parte. What it corner down to is this: while a witness may invoke the Fifth Amendment as a justification for silence, you and I are entitled to assume that he does it because, hi his own jodgmer.t, he had com mitted an infamous crtnse/So far as public oplpion is concerned, he places himself in the awkward po sition of confessing to participa tion in improper, gven in illegal actions, in spite of the fact that 'public officials may not know of or niay not be able to prove his guilt* . Lawyers, who advise clients not dependent upon public opfcrion to careere THE PAHtf RBQQBP, WWW, R ft i\ MISTER BREGER !j “If you can’t shave properly, go to a barber—there’s tap pach gtmfp that we don’t get alongt” mmm LISTEN, KIDS On the night that Jao Louis lost his heavyweight title to Ezxard Charles, outside the ballpark 1 ran into Mr. and Mrs. Jackie Robinson. Both of them looked glum because the passing of a champion of the calibre of a Joe Louis always is.emotionally disturbing. You know that the new champion is entitled to congratulations but underneath there ts a deep resentment. The new champion has pulled Humpty Dumpty off the wall, and all the king’s horses and all the king’s men never can put Humpty Dumpty together again. “This ouf°t to teach youngsters to save their money, some of it anyway,” reflected Mrs. Robinson. “If Joe Louis had saved some of his earnings, he could have retired at the peak of his career and we could have remembered'him in all his greatness. Only his need of money be trayed him into this.” She grimaced at the memory fit Louis, badly beaten, just managing to go the limit. Tea thought the some thing, again, when Louis was knocked out by Rqcky Marciano. Again the pressing need of money had exposed Louts, this time to a knockout. ■ % Conceding that it la tiffleyk today, to save money, each of us can put away a little against the rainy day when loss of a job, or seriquo sickness or death develops pressures that must be answered. In thbae bitter emergencies, yesterday's clippings don’t mean a thing. So pvg some dough in the bank, put some dough in Insurance and get yoursetf some medical and hospital insurance. They all come in handy. / The inability of Americans, at this time, to save money obviously is due to tremendous taxes. Are the taxes justified, is the $64 question of the moment. Henry Ford 2nd, speaking before the Associated In dustries of MaeaacMoetts, in Booton, last week, discussed this same question and came up with some answers. It was Ford’s conclusion that the American people deserve $ “better kind of political leadership than one based upon mere pioliticM expediency.” He characterized “expediency” in the classic remark Os, an ancient French political loader who looked at the marching moll outside his window, and said cynically: “There go njy people: I must follow them.” It was Fsrd’s fooling that the political expediency on display in Washington is best expressed in terms of the defense budget., ft wag $11,980,000,000, in IMS; it’s spiralled to SSTASSJMS.OOO in 1951, pnrag down from the requested $104,000,000,000. Along with this Washing ton “is asking and getting the kind of con trotted economy that Amev leans will accept only in the face of the cigar peoHbility of ngtionM disaster.” Stressing the fast that he doesn’t want to go down any road leads lng only to war, or the other road thgt iagd* to noace at any prior. Ford said: “l do want to take Whatever road offers the best thanes of maintaining maximum peace in this world, however hard and costly that road may bo.” That road, it seemed to Mm, Wag ong which would block aggression, by maintaining sufficient armed night that we can pay for, without bringing on a creeping inflation that would'drain our economic lifeblood. - , “How far can we go,” he asked, “in taxes to support - this effort without removing the progressive incentive out of which the whpie strength of America grows? How much government control over our economy do wo really need and how mpeh can we afford when we know that our strength lies in freqjiom from control?” Joe Louis, hanging over t*e ring apron of Madison Square Garden, knocked out by Marciano, was the victim of Washington expediency. Taxes bankrupted Louis, forced him. to go to the' well Several times too often. - Reeky MareUoo bee a vital afeke to the problems discussed by Ford at Bodbm. If the taxes continue to soar.

Judges cannot be expected or permitted to devjse special rules on the spur of the moment to fit the supposed exigencies of particular trials ” ELECTIONS The same idea was expressed in different words by the local government commis sion In a formal resolution af fecting proposals for an election on bonds for public hospital con struction in Iredell county, the cojnmlaslrn adhered to Its tradi tional policy of requiring at the same tune a vote on authority to levy a tax to support the hospitals when built. A few weeks before, the local government commisrion bad refused approval of a Wake county election on bonds to con struct additions to hospitals in Wgke county wMch were not owned or controlled by a governmental agency. There were some . excep tional circumstances in Iredell, Wdke and in numerous other coun ty hospital programs—as there were unusual conditions surrounding the Madison county election for sheriff. In opinion of the judges and the members of the government commisstpn these exceptions are not important enough ’to Justify breaking down the overall policy.
