contesting the law, recently decided !
the statute was not clear concern- j
yig drawing of jurors and began
W> fusing jury trials.
AGREES LAW NOT CLEAR
Soliciitor Hooks agreed with the
judge that the iaw is not clear on
that point.
He said todpy. however, that
Judge Strickland will have to find
a new way or a new case to get
the matter decided by the Supreme
Court.
Solicitor Hooks' decision confirm- i
ed an op’nion expressed by At- j
tcrneys Everette L. Doffermyre and !
Jhmcan C. Wilson sometime ago.
"'Solicitor Hooks agreed that it
was most extraordinary for the
judge of a lower court to refuse to
abide by the ruling of a higher
court.
The district solicitor emphasized
that he didn’t want to become in
volved in the squabble now going
on in the Dunn court.
WOULD TAKE LONG TIME
So'icitor Hocks said that if Judge
Strickland decides to try to get
case to the Supreme Court
7C would probably take at least
months or longer to do so.
Both attorneys and defendants
already are complaining about the
delay in trials. Continued refusal
to allow jury trials will also mean, j
point out lawyers, that the court
docket will become so crowded and
so congested that it can never be '
untangled.
This will mean, they said, that j
witnesses will be gone and that |
tame of the cases would have to 1
nol-prossed or thrown out of
court. This has already happened
in the case of Mary Vice.
Mary Vice was hailed into court
on a liquor charge and requested
a jury trial. Judge Strickland re
fused a jury, heard the case him
self and convicted the woman and

| gave her a sentence.
| Attorney Everette Doffermyre
took the case to Superior Court
and Judge W. H. S .Burgwyn ruled
j that Judge Strickland had erred
and sent the case back to Judge
Strickland to be tried by jury.
CASE DROPPED
Despite the fact that Judge
Strickland had found sufficient ev
idence to convict her without a
jury trial, the case was nol-prossed
1 by the State, and the woman went
free. Solicitor Strep Bryan said wit
nesses were unavailable.
Attorney Doffermyre clainfi it
was unfair for the State to con
• vict her in a trial without jury
| and then to refuse to give her
jan opportunity to exonerate her-
I self in a trial by jury,
j Whether or not Judge Strickland
and Soicitor Bryan will be able to
I get another case to the Supreme
1 Court is not know.
CASES PILING UP
Lawyers of the county contend
they should wait until the Legis
lature convenes and then have the
law clarified, if it needs cla-ifying.
instead of delaying trials and con
gesting the docket.
Several times in former years,
talk has arisen concerning abolish
ment cf the Dunn Recorder’s Court
j and establishment of a general
I county court. Some are afraid this
effort may be revived’ in view of
the situation now existing here.
As of today, the issue was right
back where it started Sony- time
ago—with little or no hope of
reaching the Supreme Court this
year. In the meantime, the cases
j are piling up.

die-of October, it was pointed out
and the definite decision on the
route will be made at that time.
SECRET MEETINGS
Dr. Earp was accused of goipg
underground in his effort to get
the highway built along the lines
that he favors, and with holding
secret meetings without consulting
boards of Commissioners along the
route who would be affected by
the change.
Washburn pointed out that the
rerouting of the road would not
only hurt the businesses along 301,
but would hurt the towns as well,
since the towm income depended
to a large extent on taxes levied
on business. This would have to
be made up by the average tax
payer.
“It might be a good idea to keep
the public fully informed of the
implications of the change,” he de
clared. "With the backing of city
and county officials, the cumula
tive effect on the Highway Com
mission would be something they
could not afford to ignore,”
He suggested that a committee
should be appointed to call on Gu
bernatorial candidate William B.
Umstead. “He is aware of the value
of the tourist business to the state
and I am sure he would consider
this,” he declared.
WASHINGTON APPEAL
The appropriation for the new
regional-military has not yet been
made by the federal government, j
it was pointed out by Earl McD.
Westbrook and there is still time
to make an appeal through the
North Carolina Senator and Rep
resentatives.
Speaker after speaker reiterated
the fact that the relocation would
be an economic and property loss
to towns now on the route and
offered suggestions for action to
prevent the loss.
Johnston County representatives
related that those on the side of j
the railroad where the highway
now runs had dritten their congress-,
men protesting the move, and that |
those where the new road would
be located had been equally ve
hement in protesting the right-of
way being run through their land.
Clarence E. McLamb, Resident
cf the Dunn Chamber of Commerce,
welcomed the group and told them,
“All I can say about 301 Is that
’we’d like it to stay where it is.
We cannot understand why the state
should propose such a new road for |
just a few individuals to enjoy as j

(Continue-* from pare one)
ris as corruption hunter after be
ing “warned” that Morris was in
volved in surplus tanker deals
which the Justice Department was
investigating. It said the charge
"seems well justified” that Mc-
Grath thought ’Morris “might be
susceptible to pressure.”
McGrath bristled with indgna
tion at the suggestion that he de
liberately tried to prevent an ef
fective clean-up campaign.
“Their report is beneath the
dignity of men who care to be
i honest and honorable,” he told a
reporter.
The former attorney general de
clined. however, to go into detail
about his side of the story “at this
time.”
MORRIS COMMENTS
In New York, Morris said he be
lieved that McGrath fired him be
cause “he didn’t like my methodis”
of ferreting out corruption, par
ticularly the financial question
naires he tried to get McGrath
and other hieh Justice Department
officials to fill out.
The report, which described the
whole anti-corruption drive as an
“awkward, bungling” affair, was
approved by a subcommittee com
posed of four Democrats and three
Republicans. Its chairman is Rep.
Frank L. Chelf (D-Ky).
j Stephen A. Mitchell, now chair
man of the Democratic National
Committee, was the subcommit- 1
tee’s chief counsel during its in
vestigation of the Morris-McGrath
episode, i
! The subcommittee said the evi
| deuce indicates that McGrath was
I “determined" to have some con
trol over Morris’ investigation.
| It also criticized McGrath for
1 refusing to give Morris certain in
formation he requested, including
data on personal finances of Me- j
i Grath and all Justice Department {
employes. The subcommittee said
this “cast serious doubts on his j
good faith” in promising Morris |
full cooperation.

Truman
(Continued From Page One)
it’s insulting to the American people
to tell them they make up their
minds according to their emotions,
and not on the basis of the great
issues that are br-ore them.”
, DEFENDS CORRUPTION
I Mr. Truman • also defended his
. administration on the corruption
I issue.
j He said that he had “cleaned
up corruption in government where
ever I’ve found it.” But the Rr
* publicans, he charged, don’t really
; want to get rid of corruption. Dre
-1 ferring to kick it around as a foot
ball.”
Mr. Truman said that “an unholy
crew” of Republicans representing
special interest lobbies had decided
! to try to make corruption the big
issue in the presidential campaign.
Most of the 2.500.000 men and
women who work so- the govern
ment are “some of the finest and
most honorable people in the coun
try.” Mr. Truman said.
TALKS ABOUT WAR
Mr. Truman said the voters had
better “look out, neighbor” if they
, wanted to avoid a third world war.
I “The Republican candidate seems
jto be listening to some strange
advice so far as a foreign policy is
, concerned.” he said.
I The President claimed his ad
ministration had “crushed” the Com
| munist conspiracy in this country
and . . . stopped the advance of
communism all over the globe.”’
| “We moved into Korea to make
it plain to the Kremlin that the
free countries of the world don't
plan to engage in appeasement—
; for we have learned from bitter
' experience that appeasement is the
road to total war.” Mr. Truman
said.
“The Communists haven’t cross
ed another frontier since, anywhere
in the world.”
MANY STOPS
I In addition to the Farao addrpss.
j the President scheduled whistle
stop appeals for votes in Brecken
i ridge, Minn., and nine places in
North Dakota—Grand Forks. Lar
j rimore, Lakota. Devils Lake, Min
j ot. Berthold, Stanley, Tioga and
! Wiliiston.
