Washington Hearings have
been held on appropriations for
North Carolina water projects
by the Senate Subcommittee on
Public Works. Senator Jordan
and I recently appeared before
the Subcommittee in support of
seventeen of these North Caro
lina projects of which fourteen
are for surveys and studies con
nected with the development of
our rivers and harbors, flood
control; navigation and erosion
prevention. The other three re
quests are for construction pro
jects.*, The progress of North
“Carolina is vitally connected
with the protection and devel
opment of the State’s number
one natural resource —water. The
amount we requested for these
public works is $3,149,800.
Mallory Rule Change Urged—
On June 13th, I introduced a
bill to make voluntary admis
sions and confessions in criminal
proceedings and prosecutions in
the courts of the United States
and the District of Columbia ad
missible against defendants. The
rising tide of crime within the
District of Columbia points up
once again the need for legisla
tion to clarify the Supreme
Court ruling of 1957 in the Mal
lory case. That ruling held in
admissible the voluntary state
ment of a convicted and self
confessed rapist because of the
delay in taking hirru before a
committing magistrate. The
Mallory ruling and a prior de
cision in the McNabb case have
resulted in abolishing an old
and fundamental rule of evi
dence regarding the admissibili
ty of a confession. The old rule
Wts that if a confession was
frilely and voluntarily made it
was deemed trustworthy. In the
Mlllory decision the Supreme
Court held that a delay of 7%
hOUrs in arraigning the prisoner
rendered the confession inad
missible as evidence against him
uftder the Supreme Court’s in
terpretation of the Federal Rules
of Criminal Procedure. I sub
mit that when Congress wrote
tHt Federal Rules of Criminal
Pfbeedure it had no intention

Mrs. Bunch chose for her
daughter’s wedding a dress of
rose lace with matching acces
sories. She wore cymbidium or
chids. The mother of the bride
groom wore a dress of .green
eyelet embroidery with match
ing accessories. She wore gar
denias.
Best man was Donald Fair
cloth, Jr.,- of Edenton. Ushers
were John Norfleet Bunch, Jr.,
brother of the bride and Jerry
Townson, brother of the bride
groom, both of Edenton; Allen
F. Downum, Jr., of Memphis,
Tennessee, brother-in-law of the
bride, and Leon Wells of Wal
lace, cousin of the bridegroom.
For traveling the bride wore
an American beauty dress with
white accessories and the orchid
from her bridal bouquet.
The couple will make their
home in Murphy.
