Dunn Council Has Big Tree Problem Councilmen of Dunn last night were faced with the Eroblem of either cutting all trees on parking strips in iwn, on denying damages of $127 to F. E. Summerlin for roots which grew into his sewer lines. They decided against cutting tiie trees. Chur lea Guy, Dunn Attorney., ap peared for Summerlin to present; 0 .law for Summerlin to present tlon. However, both he and attorney ' L R. Williams, who represents the ■ town, agreed that no decision had ; heed handed down which rules on i roots in sewer lines. Summerlin alleges that roots 1 which grew into his sewer lines came from the town’s main and into his private pipes. However, City Mana ger A. B. Uzzle denies the charge. On recommendation of George Franklin, attorney for the League of Municipalities, of which Dunn is a member.‘the Town Board decided to deny liability for the roots stopping the Summerlin se wer lines. WOULD BE NO END J. Leon Godwin pointed out that if the Board started accepting lia bilities there would be no end to the cost of fixing private sewer lines. There would be only one sol ution to this he added—“We either have to put down all cast iron pipes or cut down the trees In town.’’ J. Vernon Bass added that, “If we : cut down the trees we would have to leave town." On motion of Bass and a second by Godwin, the Board voted to re ject Summerlin’s claim. tpuy Indicated that the claim , would be fought to the Supreme Court If necessary. Although the cost would be high, Summerlin feels that he is entitled to damages, the attorney added. Attorney Williams told Guy that he would be doing the town a ser vice to take the case to court. .< Morris recalled that Roosevelt failed In his attempt to pack the Bupreme Court, but that the turn of events made it possible for Roosevelt and Truman to pack the court by “appointment of men of their type." For M years, it was pointed out, the doctrine of "separate but equ al faculties" was constitutional and all of a sudden the court finds it iUegal.” DEMOCRATIC PROGRAM • The Speaker pointed out that the Democratic Party's Civil Rlgtits program and its continued drive for an FEPC law had brought a. bout the atmosphere and fading that led to the ruUag of the high ; He attacked vigorously the in iown Jtatlj; |\txwrfr Council Briefs TAX COLLECTOR City Council voted last night to hir e a fuU time tax collector to help bring the de linquent accounts up to date.

Going back further, Morris told the Republicans attending the YRC meeting that the Democrats brought over the Negro slaves, fought to keep them slaves, and then fought legal battles to give them voting rights when they thought it would benefit the Demo cratic Party. But, it was-the Re publican Party that freed the Ne gro slaves, he added. Speaking te young Republicans from Barnett, Lee, Cumberland. Sampson, and Johnston Counties.

JUNE If, jss4 Senator Asks Housecleaning Os McCarthy's Probe Staff Military Budget Is Reduced By 29 Million WASHINGTON OR The administration claimed a new legislative victory today with Senate passage of a cutback military budget of 29 million dollars. The Senate shouted approval of the House-passed measure late yes terday after voting 50-38 to defeat a Democratic move to restore two Army divisions scheduled to be eliminated because of reduced funds. Forty Republicans and 10 Demo crats teamed up to block the man euver, removing the last remain ing danger, to the measure which fulfills most of the administration’s requests. Minor differences now will be ironed out by Senate-House conferees. The bill, as approved by the Sen ate after only two days of debate, provides $28,216,584,486 in new funds for the military services In the coming fiscal year. This is 600 million dollars less than originally requested by the administration but the administration had trimmed its request after the bud get was slashed $1,200,000,000 by the House.

McClellan also said after a stormy closed session of the special Army- McCarthy investigating subcommit tee that the executive branch has an “immediate responsibility" to take "appropriate action" against executive officials who were “prin cipals” in the Army-McCarthy hear tags. BITTER PARTISANSHIP McClellan’s statement to news men marked a renewal of the par tisan bitterness that ran through out the 36 days of hearings, which ended yesterday. The two other subcommittee Democrats, Sens. Stuart Symington (Mo) and Henry M. Jackson (Wash.), endorsed his statement. McClellan’s views came in the wake of a demand by Sen. Charles E. Potter (R-Mich) for an “over hauling" of the McCarthy subcom mittee staff. Potter, in a press statement re leased during the closing minutes of the hearings, said “top em ployes" Involved In both sides of the case should be fired. Thrails Cited Both Symington and McClellan said two members of the subcom mittee staff applied for clearance from the Defense Department more than a year ago and it still has not been granted. “If you don’t grant it, you re fuse It,” Symington said in answer to a question as to whether it had been refused. McClelland said he will move to block any further investigations by the regular subcommittee, with McCarthy as chairman, until ac tion is token oh the staff “houae cleantag” and the "allegeu I (Continued On Page Two) 1 Currin Asks Board To Rename Ammons Buck Currin. prominent Dunn To bacco warehouseman and farm lea der, today suggested that the Har nett County Board of Commissioners should hold a special meeting im mediately for the reappointment of County Farm Agent Cliff Am mons and said it would be "nothing less than disastrous for the board to fail to reappoint him.” Tile board has met twice already this month but at each meeting deferred the reappointment of Am mons, who has held the post for IS yean.
