Flier Is Heard By The Civitans Captain Roland Wooten, famous hter flier recalled from foreign “f'ice after 130 combat missions tn take part in the Fourth War Toan campaign, told the Civitan rlub Thursday night at the meet : g ]ield at the Friendly cafeteria corne of his experiences in Eng land. Africa, Italy and on. Malta and Sicily Captain Wooten was with the fjrst contingent of American fight r pilots to enter the European war fIyinS out of England over France and the Low Countries. On the second day of the inva ion of North Africa, he was shot doWn behind enemy lines, being to0 low to jump, was forced to c,-ack up his aircraft, coming out witi no worse injury than a wrenched shoulder. He was guid d back to his comrades by two Arabs. ge states that by the time Tu „;s and Bizerte fell in May 1943, (be Luftwaffe was badly beaten, a‘n(l it is not probable that it will again be able to concentrate such great airpower on a single small target. While softening-up Sicily for the invasion, he said, it was pleasant to work with the British for there is always good hunting with those ■•blokes.' Landing with the first American squadron to touch Sici he was under shell fire from German artillery for a couple of nights. Wooten stated that the Al lies took some plastering from German bombers, however, with in a few days the enemy had been pushed back and the fliers settled down to dive bombing over Ger man positions. Wooten, a South Carolina youth, having lived in Wilmington before joining the Air Force, is probably The Citadel's most decorated sol dier with wings. He holds the Dis tinguished Flying Cross, the Pur ple Heart, the Air Metal with 16 Oak Leaf clusters, campaign rib bons, and is a member of the In ternational Order of the Flying Boot. John K. Ward, president of the Civitan club, presided over the meeting. Boyd Bryson, of Raleigh, was a guest. -V- 1 Bricker Unfolds !

His confidence was echoed by ; House Minority Leader Martin of , Massachusetts who introduced Bricker. saying: . "The old elephant is on the I march; he sniffs victory in the air.’ Martin said the G. O. P. would win in November because “mil lions of honest, sincere, • patriotic •leifersonian Democrats will sub merge party to the welfare of their country” and join with the Repub licans. He recalled that after the 1 First World War “The people turn ed to the Republican party to re- 1 build and reorganize the economy j of this country and history is re- • peating itself.’ Bricker was the principal speak- 1 “ at a party gathering to celebrate > Lincoln’s birthday, held in the Mayflower hotel. ; Ho laid down a five-plank plat j iorm which recommended: F Return to “balanced budget” , federal financing. - ^aiauiisnmeni oi responsioie cabinet government' by eliminat- ; ln2 "czars’ and super-imposed ; agencies. 3 Simplified tax laws that re main stable, so drawn as to en courage “venture capital’ and ex panding business; lower Federal taxes “as soon as possible’ after tt5P war ends.

The Republicans, he said, have many leaders he would be proud to support for the Presidency while ‘the new deal has only one candi date.’ °ei yqu bo tents 1 Eron-chu-line 1 Eases Your Cough"! flr Bronchial Irritation Resulting from a Cold I,?” ,ay B.ooklyn Pharmacy, Eutrei d Pharmacy.

Bigamy Case Appealed Again RALEIGH, Feb. 10.—(jn_ O. B Williams and Mrs. Lillie Shaveo Hendricks, Caldwell county defend tuts in a bigmay case which re cently was argued in the United States Supreme Court, appealed tc the State Supreme Court todaj from a second conviction in Cald well county supeixor court on the same charge Adrian J. Newton, supreme court clerk, said the defendents based their new appeal on an as signment of errors in the court’s action in ordering a new trial aft er the U. S. Supreme Court re versed the first State Supremi Court decision in the case. Williams and Mrs. Hendricks first were convicted by a jury oi bigamy charges in February, 1941 They appealed to the State Su preme Court, which upheld the lower court’s decision. Attorneys for the two then appealed to th« U. S. Supreme Court and the de cision was reversed. Later the State court ordered a new trial Judge H. Hoyle Sink, presiding over the first trial, sentenced Wil liams to from three to 10 yean and Mrs. Hendricks to from three to five years. At the second triai on Novem her 29. 1943, Judge Sam J. Er vin, Jr., sentenced Williams tc from one to three years and Mrs Hendricks to from eight to 2( months. The charges grew out of divorces granted Williams and Mrs. Hend ricks in Reno, Nev., on Octobei 4, 1940. The two were married the same day at Las Vagas, Nev. and came back to Caldwell count} to live. They were then arrested on bigamy charges. The State charged in both its indictments that the couple wen1 to Reno for their divorces “foi the purpose of avoiding the North Carolina divorce laws.” The State further charged that the Reno di vorces were “frauds against the State of North Carolina.’ .In its ruling, the U. S. Supreme Court held that the Reno divorce: and marriage were legal and should be held valid in North Car olina.
