C Tuesday, June 25, 1963 Published Tuesdays and Fridays ...- - - ■» Senator Pays Compliment To Assemblyman • Hamilton Comments On Redistricting • Says This Week Will Be Last of Session Sen. Lather Hamilton, vowing yesterday that he was making his last trip to Raleigh this week— whether the legislature adjourns or not—complimented Carteret’s representative in the House, Tho mas S. Bennett. Senator Hamilton said, “He has done just as well as anyone could do as a member of the minority party.” He would have made a splendid showing had he been on the majority side, the senator ob served. Mr. Bennett is a Republican and the senator a Democrat. “Nobody could have done any better than Mr. Bennett as a fresh man legislator, but like everything else the majority rules,” senator Hamilton remarked. The legisla ture is dominated by Democrats. Relative to redistricting for rep resentation in the Senate, senator Hamilton said he sees no way for the different factions to get to gether. . The senator said that to set up senatorial representation on the ba sis of population would destroy the bicameral system of government. Apportioning senators on the basis of population would give the large counties in the Piedmont more senators, proportionately, than the smaller ones. “If we’re going to have represen tation in the Senate on the same basis, population, as we have in the House, then we may as well have just one legislative body (uni cameral system),” the senator said. Senator Hamilton said he is in favor of the Humber bill, which amends the constitution to increase the number of senators to 60, pro vides for the allocation of 50 seats to districts on the basis of related geographical, population and area interests, and for allocation of 10 senators to the 10 districts having the MghesTpbpulation. The Currie bill, which had ex tensive support would have real located the existing 50 senators, but senator Hamilton said it con tained factors which he believed would be struck down by the supreme court. It has been said that a special session of the legislature may be called if the redistricting prob lems can’t be resolved. Senator Hamilton said that he had little faith that a special session would solve redistricting problems that have proved unsolvable over the past five months. The hassle, basically, is over large populous counties getting more senators, which they want, as opposed to the smaller counties thereby having proportionately less representation, which the little counties don’t want. The state constitution, however, requires reapportionments a man date that legislatures have consis tently ignored.

Those who may wish to advance a ceutri ’ Turned over to FBI authorities over the weekend were two Baltimore youths, charged here with motor vehicle violations, possession of stolen property and fireworks. They were Charles F. Harrell, 20, a native of New Bern, and Larry Phillips, 16. The two boys were jailed Thursday afternoon after they were apprehended by Atlantic Beach police in a 1961 Oldsmobile convertible registered in the name of Roman and Israel Steinberg, Baltimore. The cfcr was held at the beach police station pending arrival of its owners. According to chief of police Bill Moore, the car was stolen from a Baltimore parking lot where Har rell was an attendant. Harrell and Phillips drove it to New Bern where they spent last Tuesday night Under questioning by chief Moore and deputy sheriff Billy Smith at the beach police station, Phillips said that he stole North Carolina and Florida license tags off cars at New Bern and replaced the Maryland tag on the Olds with the North Carolina tag. Also in New Bern, the youths made numerous purchases and ad mitted to officers here that they paid for .them with worthless checks. At Baxter’s in New Bern they bought a 30-30 rifle and two boxes of bullets for $94, paying for the purchase by check; at a New Bern bank they cashed a worthless check for $25.55; at Mack’s Jewelry they paid for a watch with a $50 check, and at Branch’s bought a $23.73 suit case for which they paid by check. All of the merchandise was re covered in the stolen car and turn ed over to the Craven county sheriff’s department. Beach police got a tip from chief of police Guy Springle, Beaufort, at 3 p.m. Thursday that the two Baltimore boys were headed to ward the beach and had a rifle bution to a good cause, also come in to see us. A contribution to the center would be a tax deduction. Weather permitting, it is hoped that the Medical Center will be complete by mid-August. However, we must have the fine cooperative spirit of the people in Newport communities and county if our goal is to be reached. To date, we have had wonderful cooperation, but it must continue until the building is complete and the center is occupied by two doc tors qualified to render the service we are expecting. Contractors are nrged to take advantage of good weather and do their prfrt when construction reach es the point where they are need ed. Watch our progress and be on the job when you are expected. The stockholders are invited to visit the site and observe the pro gress. See for yourself how your dollars are being used. with them. Chief Springle got his information from a boy who had hitched a ride with the two. The hitch-hiker gave chief Springle a description of the car and the license number, DU 5378. Chief Moore sent Leo Whitley, one of the beach officers, to the stop light intersection at the beach to watch for the ’61 Oldsmobile, a white convertible In about 10 minutes, he spotted the car, stopped it and ordered its occupants to proceed to the police station. When the Olds got to the police station, instead of stopping, it shot across the Salter Path road and into a dead end street that leads to Bogue Sound. Officer Whitley took out after the Olds, as did Chief Moore and of ficer Robert Rowe who had been in the police station. When the Olds came to the end of the street, the two youths jumped out. Harrell took the rifle, threw it in the chan nel, then jumped in and swam to the other side. Phillips ran into officer Rowe. Chief Moore called across to Har rell that he might as well swim back, that he’d have to sooner or later. Harrell did, then triumphant ly informed the chief, “But you won’t get the rifle." When chief Moore got back to the station, he phoned Jim Moran, the radio operator who is also a skin diver. Moran went to the place where the rifle was thrown and located it in 15 minutes. After questioning at Atlantic Beach, Harrell and Phillips were put in the county jail. Formal charges against Harrell here are improper registration and failing to stop for a stop sign. The auto theft case was turned over to the FBI because the car was taken across state lines. Ten bullets were missing from one of the boxes of bullets. The boys told police that they had stop ped in the woods to fire the rifle. When asked why they had pur chased the rifle, Harrell replied that he had “always wanted one." The Oldsmobile was not visibly damaged, according to chief Moore.

In Texas, we enjoyed the beautiful scenery, highways, oil wells, mountains, deserts and prairie land. Oar first day of sight-seeing be gan with a trip through Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico, and be lieve me, our legs were sore for about three days, but H was a beautiful sight. I wish all the folks back home could see the things we have seen so far. June 12 we toured El Paso, Tex., and went into Old Mexico where we shopped with the Me the children fell in love with people and wanted to go back 1 next day. When we went to ico, the girts wore shorts. The guide took us to the old mis sion there and no one could go in the mission in shorts or with head (he town’s attorney, George Mc Neill, and administrative officer Ray Hall atuhority to proceed with preliminary steps necessary for is suing revenue bonds to pay for the project. All three men had just returned Thursday from Atlanta, Ga.. where they talked with representatives of the Federal Housing and Home Fi nance agency. The purpose of the visit was to make arrangements for matching funds to enable More head City to undertake construction of a sewage disposal plant. The same delegation traveled to Raleigh Friday to gain permission from the Local Government coni ! mission for floating a revenue bond issue, and to work out details lor financing the venture. Other business before the board of commissioners: Mrs. Walter Freeman. 2500 Evans St., requested that a street light be placed in the east alley be tween 25th and 26th streets in the area between Arendell and Evans streets. The request was granted. Mrs. Freeman, a member of the Morehead City hospital board of trustees, further asked that the board consider paying to the hos pital a 5-cent levy on every $100 of property value, or else budget an amount equal to that for the hospital. During this past fiscal year no 5-cent levy was included for the hospital as in the past and no levy has been set up in the 1963-64 bud get. 1961 was the last year that a 5 cent levy was specifically earmark ed for the hospital. In that year, it was determined that the 5-cent hos pital levy was not mandatory. Paid to the hospital then was about $2,800 of the amount collected, but the remainder of the levy was not paid. The town of Morehead City was in need of all its tax revenue, par ticularly since the town’s ABC store profits go directly to the hos pital. The board told Mrs. Freeman that a ruling would be made on the hospital trustees’ request at their July session. Joseph A. DuBois, 1505 Shackle ford St., asked the board for as sistance from the town in placing receptacles in the sidewalks in front of each place of business for (lags. Mr. DuBois, representing the American Legion, requested that the town drill the holes, and said the Morehead City and Beaufort American Legion posts would foot the hill. The board granted the re quest. George Ball, lawyer representing a Morehead City resident, asked the board for permission to extend the curb, gutter and sidewalk across the south side of Evans street at 28th street. Mr. Ball told the board that the area was paved when the old beach bridge was built, but has not been used by the state since the old bridge was torn down. According to Mr. Ball, an ease ment was granted to the state stip ulating that if t'he bridge was ever abandoned, then the property would revert back to its original owner. The board took no action on the matter, but referred it to the town’s attorney. (See BOARD, Pg. 7) on their heads. They looked so funny. We visited the many beau tiful homes in Mexico.

Friday at the courthouse, Beaufort, when restor ation of the outer banks will be discussed. National park officials and state officials will present proposals for restoration of the outer banks and establishment of a park area. The present h 'ard of county com missioners has taken no official stand on proposals that the outer banks in this county be turned over to the government. That move has been suggested, since the local and state governments are not able to finance restoration projects rec ommended by Army engineers. Objections to turning the banks over to the federal government have been voiced by private prop erty owners. Members of the Outer Banks Seashore Park commission, Nat ional Park service and county commissioners toured the outer banks in April.
