PAGE TWO BULLETINS tOanttnae* tram vm* D -161. Specifications and prices of the sports car were to be announced at a later date. NEW YORK UP St. Clare’s Hospital reported im- Srovement today in the condition of film star Alan Curtis, 2, whose heart stopped beating after he underwent a rou tine kidney operation. Curtis was “dead” for nearly four minutes Monday when he suffered a “cardiac arrest.” He collapsed while sipping tea in his hospital bed three hours after the operation. A doctor who was in the room said he made a hasty chest incision and began massaging the heart until it started beating again. TARENTUM, Pa. (IP) John A. Bechtel. 86. swore off driving automobiles today but insisted he wasn’t at all ner vous when his car stalled on some raiHroad tracks in front of an oncoming freight train. A passerby pulled Bechtel from his car Tuesday seconds before it was demolished by a speeding 99-car freight. Asked if he felt nervous about his narrow escape, Bechtel said. “Nervous? It takes more than that to make a man of 86 nervous. But as of now, I’ve quit driving automobiles.” DELAWARE, O. HP Robert E. Jones went to jail for swiping the banana from a banana split. Police charged him with intoxication after he took the banana from a customer’s dish at a soda fountain, ate it, and wiped his sticky hands on the soda jerk’s shirt. SYLVANIA, O. (IP Mrs. Roy Ferry thought for a moment she had bats in her belfry but it turned out to be a ming in her sink. Hearing a noise in her kitchen, Mrs. Ferry discovered a strange black animal feeding on a box of cookies in the sink. A small mink had entered the house from a creek nearby. SAN FRANCISCO (IP Police had to intervene Tues day when 150 U. S. Marines, just home from Korea, got too eager to get into San Francisco on liberty. The leather necks, quartered on Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay, started marching en masse along the top level of the bay bridge. They were turned back because the top deck is re served strictly for vehicles. PARIS HP Marius Renard, 16, who underwent a “miracle” kidney graft Christmas Day, died Tuesday. Un til two weeks ago doctors believed the boy would be the first person to survive such an operation, but the kidney suddenly stopped functioning and complications set in. His mother provided the transplanted kidney for Marius after the one kidney he was born with ruptured last fall. NEW YORK (IP The current “overwhelming" de mand for steel couKd bring about a ‘mild case of boom and bust,” the metal-working weekly Iron age warned today. The magazine said some industrial purchasing agents, spurred by front office” races for the consumer market, are “extremely aggressive” in their procurement and "may be over-playing their hands.” WESTPART, Conn. (IP A search spread along the East Coast today for a Negro handyman wanted for raping and murdering an attractive 30-year-old mother at her Westpoyt home. Police concentrated their search in New York and Philadelphia for William Davis, 29. an ex-convict who disappeared after confessing the murder to his wife. The half-nude body of Mrs. Penny Coats Evans, estrang ed wife of a wealthy Broadway theatrical agent, was found Monday night on a bed in her isolated home here. She was wearing only a sweater and bra. and the cord of an eitec- i trie clock was wrapped tightly around her neck. Summon Olive (Continued From Pace Coe) ' with it and would raise the devil ' If he knew about it." Redwine 1 quoted Barnes as saying. Umstead's opponent in the bitterly-fought primary, Judge Hu- ; bert E. Olive of Lexinton. testified j 1 that he had no knowledge of the j handbills and categorically denied allegations contained in them. The testimony came at Barnes’ ; trial on a conspiracy charge in connection with circulating the handbills. Barnes and three other men also face trial on charges of circulating j defamatory handbills, a violation j of the State Corrupt Practices Act. Redwine quoted Barnes as say- j ing he delivered a quantity of the 1 handbills to a store operated by Percy and Jimmy Flowers, two other defendants, near Clayton a few days before the election. Redwine’s testimony centered on a conversation he said he had with Barnes early last June after the primary, at which time Barnes said he had worked with Umstead's state headquarters in Raleigh and arranged for printing and distrib MartinßlowsWhistle On Tax Cutting Bill WASHINGTON (W Sepeaker Joseph W. Martin Jr. blew the j whistle today on Rep. Daniel A. Reed’s attempt to rush a tax cut bill through the House. Martin, who speaks with great authority in such matters, told a reporter flatly there will be no tax cuts until the House Approoriations Committee applies a “meat ax’’, to government spending. The Massachusetts Republican thus aligned himself with Senate GOP leaders who contend that tax | relief, while desirable, must wait until the budget is balanced. President Eisenhower is reported f to feel the same way. and may so advise Congress in his State of the Union message Monday. - Reed, chairman of the tax-writing b House Ways and Means Committee, j- Is frankly busking the party line | by pushing his bill to cut personal I income taxes by five and a half per I cent for the present calendar year | B* would do this by making an 11 uting the handbills. Worth Hinton of Zebulon, whose name was on the bills as an official of a ’’four-county’’ committee, de nied that he signed the statements, or authorized signature of the state ments contained in the bills. Jesse James. SBI agent from Raleigh, testified that he inter viewed Redwine in Raleigh an.l that he was told substantially the same statements which Redwine made from the stand. He said, he also talked with Barnes at Barnes’ home in Clayton, and that Barnes told him he would not answer any questions which might incriminate or jeopardize him. . In the trial of former state Rep. Ronald Hocutt of Johnston County on the corrupt practices charge. E .J. Corbett testified for the state that he saw Hocutt “hand a piece ■of paper” to Douglas Brown at t ! polling place on the day of . the election and found it was one of the handbills. One "key witness” failed to ap pear. Godwin ordered deputies to bring in Will Barnes Fowler who had been subpenaed to; testify in each of the eases. Fowler's wife | reported that Fowler was "sick all ' last night and left early this morn ing to go to Raleigh to see a doc tor.” per cent tax cut, already scheduled t to take effect next Jan. 1. effect ' ive on June 30 instead. Thus tax payers would gel the benefit of an 11 per cent cut for half of 1953 which I is the same as a five and a half per I cent cut for the entire year. Reed, a veteran GOP legislator [ from upstate New York, appeared i 1 1 to be mounting some sort of blitz I behind his tax bill Tuesday. He . I called in reporters and told them i his committee will meet Feb. 16 and approve the bill. He also pre , i dieted confidently that “tbe House will pass the bill right away.” I But Martin thought otherwise. I I He said there was nothin# he ! | could do to slow’ down the com mittee action. But he added firmly : that "it’s a little early to bring it . i up” for House floor action. ;' The bill would have to clear the I ! House Rules Committee before go • I ing to the floor. The Rules Com . j mittee usually heeds the speaker’s . wishes. Little Things (Continued from page one) need a gun. All you had to do was to reach out witn your hands ana bring in an armlul ot birds at a single swoop. “Just fly me down there, Keith, and 111 guarantee you all tne birds you want. And if you don’t tind them. I’ll take you to my treezer locker and you can help yourselt.” It all sounaed good so Finch, an ola Air rune pilot, wanucu up his pffine and the three of them look on. “Ana did we kill birds,” related Finch last night as ne told the story at Upchurch’s. “I'll say we DID NOT.” "We had the best of dogs,” he continued, “perfect weather, good guns, but no birds. Not one Bira aid w.e kill. “We didn t even see one.” All day long they hunted ana the longer tne day grew the colder tneir stares at Butt became. Mutt could sense that Keith ana Sam were pretty unhappy about tne whole situation. He had bunt them up to envision some really nappy Hunting. Keith strongly suspects that the reason Mutt wanted to go , to Ara panoe was so he could visit his old lriend, Buck. Mutt dian't have much to say on that plane flight back home. He was so quiet tney hardly knew he was m the plane. (.He probably wished he wasn't.) “And tne next thing we knew after we got back,” related Fincn "Mutt haa taken off to Floriaa on a vacation, and he forgot all about that ireezer locker proposi tion.” "But just wait ’til he gets back,” vowea rineh. "rfis looser is going to be empty and mine is going to be full.” LITTLE NOTES: Local TV fans are enthused over the idea of Ra leigh's new television station going on the air, expected April 1. . . .

Six clubs. Chapel Hill. Durham, Raleigh, Henderson, Fuquay Springs. Benson and Dunn will be represen ted.. The Dunn group will be hosts to the meeting. Charles Phillips, of Chapel Hill. Sixth district Vice-President, will preside at the meeting and the principal speaker wUI be Harry Stewart of Raleigh, National Vice- President. Secretary Andrews urged every member of the Dunn club to make every effort to be present for this meeting. Senate (Continued from page one) E. Wilson as a member of my cab inet. He has made a very large sacrifice in order to serve his coun try and I am sure he will be a great secretary of defense.” But the senators were still wait ing for two other defense appoin tees, Army Secretary-designate Rob ert T. B. Stevens and Air Force Secretary-designate Harold E. Tal bott. to square themselves with the law which bars government officials from doing business with firms in which they have a financial stake. IS UNWILLING Informants said Stevens was un willing, for the present at least, to sell his substantial holdings in J. P. Stevens & Co., his family’s huge textile firm which does a third of its business on government con tracts. Talbott was reported by some Sen ate sources to be willing to sell his stock in Chrysler Corp., if no other way for his confirmation. The most pressing confirmation difficulties seemed to be in the dip lomatic field, where Secretary of State John Foster Dulles has in formed the Foreign Relations Com mittee that action on key officials just can’t wait for FBI checks, which may take several weeks to complete. Dulles is scheduled to leave for Europe on Friday. And he is anx ious for quick confirmation of Gen Walter Bedell Smith, his scheduled stand-in as undersecretary, and oi the men chosen to‘represent the nation in Britain, France and Wes tern Germany. Although still wedded to the prin ciple of checking all State Depart ment bfficials before they are con firmed, the committee was ready for a compromise under which the ap pointees coulji serveln a temporary capacity until their FBI -clearance comes through. Affected are Smith, until recent ly the fihlpf of. the top secret Cen tral Intelligence Agency; Winthrop W. Aldrich, recftptly board chairman of tile Chase National Bank and now appointed ambassador to Brit tain; and President James Bryant Connant of Harvard University, no minated as U. S. High commission , er for Western Germany. Parking Sug. (Continued from page one) cars with 11 on the west side and 9 on the east side. Using the same width between curbs, but permitting parallel park ing on the other would take care of 24 cars, and increase the capacity by eight. Parallel would be on the west side. IT, however, the street were widened to 38 feet, the maximum packing would be obtained. Uking angle parking on both sides, 15 cars could be parked on the west side and 13 on the east side, a to tal of 28 cars. TTiB would add a total of 12 badly needed parking spaces in tfris area colse .to the downtown business section. Assault Cases (Continued from pare one) longejj? asked Wilson. “So I could hayet: cut out his heart," replied Raynor, and the judge rapped for order. Defense testimony was to the effect that Raynor went to the track dfinking, tried to sneak in by the wrong entrance. The owner of the track said he tried to dis arm the men of their knives when the fight started. Judge Iste found Stewart guilty ’'or 1 assault and fined 1 him' SSO and costs and ordered him to pay Ray nor SSO in compensation for jaw injuries. Rev. Early (Continued from page one) Mt.

Senator Ralph Scott two years ago and Representative John Um stead now, have not imposed upon v the kinship, and it is well known to their colleagues in the General Assembly that in many instances their views do not coincide with . those of the man downstairs. In ab sence of the Governor there is na tural disposition on part of many people not familiar with the facts to regard Blather John as his spokesman to somewhat greater de gree than Brother Ralph was ac cepted two years ago—when the - Governor was available for check- , Ing. SLATED FOR A FALL The folks who are buying real grief for themselves are those who officially claim to enjoy the inti mate confidence of the Governor and who pass out profound state ments of policy, without actually accrediting them to Governor Um stead; but with obvious intent to leave the impression they are auth- oritative. Slated for a fall also are the gullible folks who believe these ■ professions without thoroughly checking them. Rumors have been current around the capitol that certain persons have been told they could have cer tain positions, and in at least one instance a man came to Ralejgh to take over, s only to find that there was no basis'for the promise which had been made him by a completely irresponsible party. In other instan ces newspaper stories emanating i from souroas known to be not 1 friendly to the new administration have attributed actions and appoint ments to would-be-kingmakers—who actually had no part In the decis ions announced. DOES OWN THINKING Anyone who knows William tlm stead knows that he makes his own '• decisions and does his own talking. Weeks before his inauguration and Immediately thereafter he had re oeatedly said he would make no major appointments or replacement ; of incumbent personal, except in emergency cases, for some time af ter taking over the office of Gover nor. Enforced absence from the offi ce may delay action somewhat long- i *r than originally intended on some of these matters, but Governor Um stead is entirely capable of doing his own thinking and making the necessary announcements of his decisions. The volunteer assistance of “friends" who may be more in- ’ erested in their own benefits than in aiding the Governor can serve only to embarrass them. ]; Feed* —:— Seeds Fertilizers DUNN FC: SERVICE; !
