Man Wont Testify On Rape Indictment “You should never bring charges «this ' nature unless you intend go through with them,” Judge Strickland told Lewis Bass in Dunn Recorder’s Court this morning, when he said he wanted to “take up the papers" charging Willie Hall with assault and rape. According to the warrant, sworn out by Bass, Hall had assaulted Bass’ wife, an expectant mother, and caused her to lose the ex pected child. However, when Bass and his wife refused to testify. : wre was. no course for the court to term the charges malicious and frivolous and tax Bass with the costs. *-■.

Corporal Rommie Williamson re po-ted no serious accidents on Christmas Day although several ac cidents occurred here during the weekend and a number of persons were injured. All in all, authorities reported today, it was a quiet and happy Christmas for the citizens of this section. CLAIMED two attacks Later in the day, he said, he at tacked her again in his presence. Bass said he hit Hall over the head once but that didn’t stop him from continuing the attack. Magistrate A. B. Adams at first refused to give Bass a warrant and frankly told him he didn’t think the charges would stand up in court. Bass swore, however, that the charges were correct and the mag istrate then issued the warrant. Ronnie Bass and Mrs. Mary McLeod, mother of the woman al legedly assaulted, were listed as witnesses.

Hill, of Savannah, Ga., super intendent of transportation,’ have conferred here with Mayor Ralph E. Hanna and other city officials about the matter. The Coast Line officials point out that it is not practical for the company to provide protection at these three crossings Vance Cleveland and Pope and that it would be best for the railroad and for the town to barricade these three crossings. TO MEET FRIDAY NIGHT This matter win ne one of sev eral to come before the city council when it holds its meeting on Friday night of this week. The board will meet on Friday instead of Thursday, since Thursday is New Year’s Day. Another matter coming before the board is the adoption of an ordinance setting up a city plan ning board for the town. This board, to be composed of citizens named by the council, will make surveys, investigations and recommendations for long-range projects for improvement of the town. Mr. Uzzle said he did not expect the council to appoint the mem bers at this meeting. The board will discuss the erec tion of steel steps beside the municipal building to replace the wooden steps installed at a time when steel was not available. Un der present building regulations, wooden steps are illegal. STREET PROBLEM The council will also again dis cuss the. possibility of widening both North Wilson Avenue and South Wilson Avenue. An ironical siuat: >n has develop ed. Residents along North Wilson Avenue want' the street widened more tl-an the town wants to widen it. Residents along one block of South Wilson are bitterly opposed to widening the street any at all since it would force removal of trees. Varied other items are expected to come up at the council meeting. Teletype Lines Are Out Os Order The Daily Record regrets that due to line difficulties the amount -of State, national and interna tional news in today’s issue is extremely limited. Telephone wires which bring all of the important happenings of the world through The Daily Record’s teletype machine have been out of order all day, except for,a few minutes W. G.

Miss ng was a considerable amount of silver from the cash register, cig arettes and candy. The burglar evidently left the premises in a considerable hurry Sturgill said, because he left a trail of scattered change behind as he fled. Better still, he left an excellent lead to his identity and the deputy said, “I will only be a short time before we are able to pick him up."

He served as a Strikes Cut Steel Production In '52 By DOROTHEA M. BROOKS United Press Financial Writer NEW YORK OPI Steel produc tion in 1952 fell 15,000,000 tons short of the record 108,587,670-ton capa city with which the industry began the year—the result of the longest and costliest steel strike in the na tion’s history. But output still was the third highest on record and the outlook for new records in 1953. America’s steel makers, despite the prolonged work ktoppage In summer, went right on boosting their producing facilities to bring capacity to a new peak within reaching distance of the 120.000.- 000-ton goal established unofficial ly early in 1951. Capacity No Obstacle And steel leaders see no reason to fear that this capacity is exces sive. They predict continued peak demand at least through the first half of 1953, and probably beyond. They emphasize the industry is in strong position, financially and otherwise, to weather any tem porary rough-going which may be ahead. They point out' that even at a slightly lower than capacity oper ating rate, mills could do about as well profit-wise, as they do now, with elimination of high-cost over time making the difference. But the industry looks ahead with confidence to the future un der a new administration. E. G.

The five star general said that Truman’s statement was “inaccu rate and misleading.” He said his desire was “not to extend the war but only to end it.” TRUMAN GIVES REASON Mr. Tru ,'ian said Saturday in an interview with United Press White House Correspondent Merriman Smith that his "primary reason” for firing MacArthur was because the general “wanted us in an all out war in the Far East.” He said Russia would welcome such a step. MacArthur’s reply was issued in a statement through his aide, Major General Courtney Whitney It was the General’s first public comment on the Korean question since his speech in New York on December 5, in which he said, "Hiere is a clear and definite so lution to the Korean conflict .... without an unduly heavy price in casualties or any increased danger of provoking universal conflict.” Local Firemen AreKeet Busy Three fire calls, one out of town over the past week, were reported today by Howard M.
