The car in front of the patrol car was overhauled after a chase of about three miles which started when the patrolman noticed the speeder, headed in the opposite direction to that in which the patrol car was headed, cutting in and out of traffic at high speed. The speeder was clocked for a mile at 75 miles per hour. (Dally Record photo by Louis Dearborn). Our Mr. Dearborn Spends Day With Highway Patrol By LOITIS DEARBORN Record Staff Writer Fifteen or more hours of ceaseless activity and vigi lance, with two one-hour breaks for meals and per haps a coffee stop now and then, is lust a routine Sat urday tour of duty for Har nett County’s Highway -Fa ’ TSgturdays are particularly stre nuous during the present football series, for the group assigned to traffic duty at the games, and for their mates, left in the county to hold down the home front. Last Saturday, for example, only two, G. R. Carroll, Jr., and Joe Whitaker, were left to patrol this largfe county. A Saturday to' r of duty with one of these Patrolmen is a revealing insight into the activities of the patrol, not only in Harnett, but throughout the state, since the pa trol here is typical, in making the highways safer for you and for me. Let’s climb into the patrol car . with Patrolman Joe Whitaker and see just how these boys operate. And remember, this is just a rou tine day, although Whitaker ad mits that he “works Just a little harder on Saturday." This particular day for Car 532, started at 9:00 a. m. The first or der of business is filing the report of the previous day’s activity, which in Whitaker’s case, due to his call for duty at the circus in Raleigh, was a sixteen and one half hour tour. No eight hour days for these boys. FOUR COPIES OF REPORTS The report covers every phase of the day’s activities and. of course, must be made out in the inevitable quadruplicate. Expenses must be itemized and woe betide the patrol man who turns in an item without a receipted bill. He will not only have to pay it, but probably will hear some ungentle words from the sergeant. The reports take some little time, especially if there are separate ac cident reports to file. Finally, we roll, and the day’s activities be gin. We call Raleigh and check in, telling the operator that we will be .

This procedure was all right as long as the women’s organisation was the only one interested in the building. However, as soon as other civic organisations heard ,of the ,» proposal for the new building for the Women's Club, they too, be came interested, and suggested that it be a Joint project, with aU pan ticipattng to create a Community Building.

Mrs. Theresa Butler was in criti- < cal condition at San Francisco Hos pital from what physicians said was an overdose of barbiturates that al most stopped her breathing and ; caused her blood pressure to fall almost to aero. Her condition so closely resembl ed death that a doctor had even signed a death certificate. “The next 34 hours will tell the story,’ 'said a hospital physician. “SHE CAN GO EITHER WAY" , FOUND IN BATHTUB A maid found Mrs. Butler lying in a half-filled bathtub in her County Old Age Roll Is Cut 10 Per Cent Welfare claims for old age as sistance have been reduced approx imately 10 per cent since the Coun ty of Harnett started filing claims against the recipients. The figures were released today by Miss Wilma Williams, county welfare officer. Miss Williams said that approx imately 75 person have asked that their checks be stopped or have been stopped by the board. This means that approximately 675 in Harnett are still recelvlhg checks for an average of $23.75 a month. Harnett is now paying out approximately $16,625.00 per month to the aged.

C., FRIDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 9, 1951 Ruffin Says Business Must I Save Nation SALISBURY. (UP) William H. Ruffin, president of the National Association of Manufacturers, said today that business leaders must spearhead a drive to save “our national standards of - and to demon strate that “a free economy is better than a totalized economy.” Ruffin scored corruption and ex travagance in government and warned the country to "beware of socialist reformers and economic planners in and out of govern ment. Speaking at a civic club lunch eon here, the president of Erwin Mills in Durham said revelatiohs of official bribery and tax evasion, , sports scandals and underworld crime empires, have struck “every right-thinking American with shocking impact.” He said the national government has not responded swiftly or thor oughly enough to the public con cern. HITS SOCIALISM "Rather than concentrating on its constitutional duties, our govern ment has expanded into socialist channels,” he declared. “It has taken over many rights and re sponsibilities which could be more effectively exercised by individuals and state and local governments.” High taxes and inflation are' the toll American families and business are paying for 18 years of govern mental extravagance, he said. In a speech last night to the Piedmont Industrial Relations Con ference in Winston-Salem, Ruffin warned employers to be “on guard against unwarranted exploitation of the emergency by big govern ment." ' MANAGEMENT MUST PROCEED “If we are ultimately to escape a totalized economy, management Kw proceed to demonstrate job of production both for and civilian Onnsumption be accomplished in a free Igent and pafeMJfe IsSler labor and management should refuse to ask sot or to grant wage increases.” Management can expect charges of profiteering “unfair as these charges are” unless employees are Instructed in the basic considera tions thpt enter into, costs, prices and profits, he said.

Luby Naylor and Bob Dickey, lo* cal Dodge-Plymouth dealers, today extended to the public a cordial in vitation to visit their showrooms to morrow and see the beautiful new automobile. “One o f the grandest things about the new 1952 Dodge,” point ed out Mr. Dickey and Mr. Naylor today, “is that you could still pay hundreds of dollars more for a car and not get everything this great new Dodge gives you. . “ALL YOU’RE LOOKING FOR” “For here in this 1952 beauty." they added, “are all the comfort, style and convenience features you’ll be looking for in your new car. The smairt, modern inside dress—the flattering new fabrics the all round-vou roominess lets you re lax and take things easy.” “The "only thing wrong about j the new Dodge,” declared the pop- : ular Dunn dealers” is that we just can’t seem to get enough of them | to meet the demand.” Many fine new features aie in- i corporated in the new ’52 Dodge. Stolen Pickup Recovered Today j The 1946 Chevrolet pickup which I was reported stolen from the Jer nigan Skating rink, between Dunn and Erwin at 10:30 last nigh't, was recovered early this morhing.

Although the beloved oastor, who had guided this church for 34 years, had been planning to retire months ago, his congregation had prevailed UDon him to remain. However, lately, his health had became such, that he was forced to limit his activity. His activity in the future will be largely con fined to visiting the sick and those in trouble or distress.

Due to decreased appropriations three clerical employees of the PMA win have to be laid off, effective today. Harrington said the work load will have to be spread among remaining employees but since there are no quotas on cotton or wheat this season, work will be some nghtar. Ike Refuses Comment Oii Krock Story PARIS ah—Gen. Dwight D. Eisen hower passes the buck to the White House on that report that he turn ed down President Truman’s 'offer of the 1952 Democratic presidential nomination. He will not comment himself. That was the way it 'was today, anyway. Ike’s SHAPE public relations of ficers could only report that so far as they knew there was nothing to it. The last thing public relations officers want to know about Eisen hower’s headquarters is presiden tial politics. All of them are interested. But the surest wav to blast an Army ! career right now woull be for an officer on Ike’s staff to sav any- i thing newsworthy about the gen- I eral’s political plans, if any. NO AVOIDANCE LONG Even so, there is no way for i Ike long to avoid auestions about the report of Mr. Tr’man’s offer written by Arthur Krock, chief Washington corresnondent and edi torial board member of the New York Times. Krock often is named as the most influential newspaper writer under a Washington dateline. I His stories do not brush off easily, a fact which is just beginning to down on SHAPE. So Ike will be comoelled to say “yes” or “no” or refuse to com ment on Krock’s story. One dele gation of congressmen already Is In Paris. Others are on their way, plus non-political big shots with political ideas. They will ask questions. A refusal You always gat mOfS in to comment would be widely and _ 1 , vigorously .“Interpreted.” I■ ”® Daily Record.

I (UP) Red truce negotia tors stalled for time today, I presumably awaiting orders whether to adopt Soviet For eign Minister Andrei Vishin sky’s demand for an Ailed withdrawal of the 38th Par allel. Vishinsky’s demand in the U. N. General Assembly in Paris Thur day was not mentioned during Fri day’s meeting of the armistice sub committee, but it threatened to wreck Allied truce hopes. Communist negotiators had re luctantly abandoned their demand for a cease-fire line along the 38th Parallel shortly after the truce talks were resumed two weeks ago. They now were seeking a firm agreement that the line be along the present battlefront, which runs up to 45 miles north of the parallel. SESSION CANCELLED The U. N. and Communist sub committee members called off tha usual afternoon session Friday when nothing new developed during the morning meeting of two hours and 45 minutes. They agreed to meet at 11 a. m. Saturday 9 p. m. Friday EST, however. Brig. Gen. William Nuckols, the delegation spokesman, said the Communists adopted “what might be termed an elusive attitude” I Friday morning. “I got the impression, and so did the delegation, that today was a day of transition —a day of no cision, another day of stalling,’' Nuckols said. It had been thought that the U. N. representatives might come up with a new proposal during the lat est meeting. An extraordinary 1 strategy conference was held at tha U. N. delegation's base camp at Musan, 11 miles southeast of Pan munjom, Thursday evening. Two Wrecks Occur Here Two wrecks within the past 24 hours were reported today by the Dunn Police Department.
