Brien McMahon, D., Conn., urged his Senate colleagues today to approve a friendship pledge to the Russian people. McMahon said the action should come as follow-up of Senate ap proval to sending more U. S. troops ) to Europe. The Senate Foreign Relations and Armed Services Committees approved a troop-for- Europe resolution in substance yesterday. McMahon said he would assure the Russians that the United States does not seek their death or destruction. He said by send ing American troops to Europe the United States makes it clear she will fight if necessary. But at the same time, McMahon I said, the United States must assure Russia that this country does not seek war. ELSEWHERE IN CONGRESS Draft The Senate was ready for a showdown vote on an ad ministration bill to draft 18-year olds. Approval semeed certain, however, that the Senate decided to put a 4,000,000 man ceiling on the armed servlpes. Gen. Omar N.

C. Your reporter spent Mon day in Washington, D. C„ and like numerous other casual visitors won dered if “D. C.” stands for “dis ordered confusion:” Two local stories featured in Washington newspapers that day illustrate the general situation. One story was about the 39-year-old Negro who spent 20 months digging out of the Maryland pentientiary, and was recaptured just,two weeks later for attempting a $5 hold-up. The other was about a man who travel ed 20,000 miles in stolen automo biles, financed the trip with forged government credit slips, and was caught in a routine driving license inspection. Then there was a dif ferent kind of story illustrating the same idea about J. Con Lanier of Greenville. In the capital to testify before a Senate committee on reciprocal trade agreements as they affect tobacco, the North Caro lina tobacconist didn’t get an op portunity to present his statement to person—because another witness talked for more than two hours about Imported watches and clocks. NOT SO CLOSE North Caro linians to Washington—and there are many of them from top policy making level down to filing clerks and typists—retain, their personal interest to home State politics. There is not the same relationship as prevailed during the four dec ades from 1906 to 1945, the period during which Furnlfold M. Simmons and then Max Gardner were ac cused of running North Carolina frdto Washington by long distance telephone. Hiat was never quite true, but it is historically accurate to say that many Important state ments about politics and policy af fecting only North Carolina eman ated during that period from the District of .

The 37-year-old Puerto Rican revolutionary was convicted late yesterday of the first degree mur der of a White House guard in the attempted assassination of President Truman on Nov. 1. The verdict by the federal court jury of nine women and three men made the death sentence manda tory. The jury deliberated one hour and 42 minutes. TO ASK NEW TRIAL Collazo's court appointed attonr ey, Leo. A. Rover, said he would file a motion for a new trail with in five days. There was little hope it would be granted. Rover said, however, he intended to take the case to the Supreme Court if ne cessary. Collazo was found guilty of slay ing Pvt.

Under the law, Collazo could be judged equal (Conlinued On Page Five) Mule-Drawn Crop Duster;Can Spray Six Acres At A Time For a long time farm machinery has been driving the mule off the farm. Now machinery is bringing the mule back, thanks to local talent. Nathan Johnson, local merchant and John Deere farm machinery dealer, decided- that the mule-pow ered farm needed a small crop dusting machine similar to the ones drawn by tractors. So he com missioned Pat Lynch, well-known Dunn manufacturer and innovator, to do the job. What Lynch came up with was a metal frame two-wheeled gig on which the duster, powered by a' 1.5 horse power Briggs and Strat ton engine, was mounted. A trac tor seat atop the duster provides room for the driver. SPRAYS -SIX ROWS According to C. I. Thompson, who handles the tractor end of Johnson’s enterprises, the duster can. spray six rows of cotton at the same time. The rate of work is about six acres an hour, he said. “This shows that Nathan John son is not forgetting his mule friends.” Thompson pointed out.

Two murders are included in the 32 cases which will face Judge W. H. S. Burgwyn of Woodland when he opens a two-day session of Harnett Superior Court March 18. Both capita: cases were left over from the January Superior Court term, during which the grand jury returned true bills. Indicted were Richard Jones of Lillihgton, Rt. 1, and Charlie “Geech” Stephens, abouF 40, a Dunn Negro. Stephens, who left town and has not been caught, was accused of the fatal Christmas Eve shooting of a Negro boy in Dunn. Jones was indicted for the knife slaying of a neighbor, 38-year old Otis Johnson, Dec. 23, Jones is now free on $4,000 bond. GRAND JURY CASES The grand jury has three cases scheduled to come before it when it convenes in the courthouse at Lillington March i 9. Billy Ray Baker and Earl Brown are accused of breaking and entering and lar ceny, as is Clarence McGregory. Charges of breaking and entering have also been made against Char les Council. A rape case against James Mal lard, Dunn Negro, left over from the January term, is also booked for this session. The following case. 3 are to be tried the first day: Ernest T. Tucker, Jr., non-sup port; Dorothy Graham, Larceny; Estel Butler, driving drunk; Mrs. Wade Johnson, forgery; Carl John son, transporting illegal whiskey; Warren McNeill, non - support; Chester Stewart, abandonment; (Continued On Page Two) according to the farmer’s needs, is expected to be a big seller, said Thompson.

Taxi Driver Gets Stern Lecture Thomas E. “Maggie’’ Dorman, 25-year-old driver ofr Dyer’s Taxi, was acquitted on charges of pos sessing whiskey for the purpose of sale due to lack of evidence, but he left the courtroom with a stinging rebuke and a warning from Judge H. Paul Strickland that he’d better not come before him again. City Solicitor J. Shepard Bryan took a nol pros in the case, he said, because of insufficient evi dence to convict Dorman. But Judge Strickland had no doubt in his mind about Dorman’s guilt and said so. “If the truth were known,” (Continued On Page Three) NO. 6$ Toll Os 11,600 Reds Taken In First 24 Hours TOKYO, March &—OR— ~. Eight UN divisions crashed north on a 70-mile front in Korea today against Red forces staggered by the loss of a.record 11,600 men in the first 24 hours of a mam moth Allied offensive. The assault already had won the UN its first bridgehead across the Han Hiver east of Seoul, captured a mountain dominating 50 miles of the west-central front, blasted the Reds from strategic Yongdu and Taemi, and carried within seven miles of the big Chinese base of Hongchon. •■ —»' .
