BY TED CRAIL Record News Editor Joe Earnhardt, a Dunn bakery owner who grew up in Albemarle, lost one of his two brothers when a ship was torpedoed shortly be fore World War II. For nearly 20 years, he has be lieved that the other brother was dead, too. On Sunday the missing brother finally turned up — big as a house and very much, alive. An Ar my fledgling when he disappeared, he is now Master Sergeant Elmer Earnhardt (retired) and lives in New York pity with his German, bride, Erika. In Albemarle, Charlotte, Raleigh and Dunn, relatives and friends were completely up-ended by news of Elmers reappearance. Moving swiftly from town to town, he sought out the remnants of his fa mily, renewed ties with them, and headed back to New York One of Dunn’s better-known ci tizens, brother Joh is a church going Baptist who had accepted very slowly the idea that Elmer was dead and gone. And yet — where was he? Long before broth er Robert was killed by a torpedo blast from a German U-Boat, while serving in the Merchant Marine, Elmer flipped off into nowhere like a kite that had lost its string. At 21, he had left Fort Bragg for other duty. That was in 1937 and afterwards — it was an ex asperation to all of them — not a peep was heard from the missing member. The death of Joe’s moth er brought on a final realization that Elmer was not just gone some where but missing. Where? Radio messages and oth er communications failed to bring him to the last rites held for his mother. The family, desperately worried, tried to contact him thr ough Washington. LOOKED ALL OVER “They looked every which-away for him,” said Mrs. Earnhardt, “but there wasn't no finding him, Oh, they kept atryin', all right. “Joe finally decided,) well, he must be dead; he couldn’t stay a way |o long and nobody hear. And all the same, he kept alookln’. Ev ery time he saw somebody from overseas who would have recognlz (Continued On Page Few) Survey Made On Pentagon Secrecy Policies WASHINGTON (IP) — House investigators de manded an explanation to day of what they called ‘shocking" features in a Defense Department report on how to plug military news leaks. ! A House Government Operations subcommittee headed by Rep. John E. Moss (D-Calif) summoned mem bers of the so-called Coolidge Com mittee to testify about Defense De partment information policies. The Coolidge Committee, head ed by Boston lawyer Charles A. Coolidge, reported Nov. 8 on a survey of Pentagon secrecy poli cies. Moss said his subcommittee was particularly concerned about one “distasteful” and “shocking" rec ommendation made by the Cool idge group. This urged that a newsman be called before a grand jury, if necessary, to uncover his source of any “leak” which “ob viously gravely damages the securi ty of the nation.'’ Moss said his subcommittee thus far has found that most leaks resulted from military efforts to "manage the news” -rather than from a newsman's attempt to ‘.mis use security information.” HOG MARKET RALEIGH W) — Hog markets: Tarboro: 25 higher at 16.50 — 17.25.

Luther H. Hod ges loomed on the General Assembly horizon this week. And if all goes as expected, the state of North Carolina will have before the week is out the lagal structure for a revamped and re modelled State Highway Commis sion. } •; The General Assembly Is ex - pected to stamp final approval on the measure, generally known as the highway reorganization bill. The legislation actually won’t go into effect until July 1 At that time, membership of the commis sion would be reduced from 14 to seven and a “career official'’ ad ministrktor set up as its head. But its passage this week would represent a definite and decisive victory for the Hodges administra tion — a victory that appears much needed on the heels of the gov ernor’s political embarrassment last week at having to back down on his stand for an average 9,1 per cent pay increase for the state’s teachers. The highway bill has been ad vocated by the administration as a means of making the highway commission a statewide policy - making body, It is the governor’s express intent to bring the com mission, which he says now stands “almiost as a separate empire” back into an equal basis with oth er state agencies. The measure already has passed half the legislative gauntlets — the Senate Committee on Roads and the Senate itself, and the House Committee on State Government. The indication is the House and its committee on roads will pass it before Saturday.

The proposal already has strong backing, said Representative Gre gory, but he feels the issue is so important that it should be sub mitted to a vote of the people. Harnett now has two recorder's courts, one in Dunn with Juris diction only in Averasboro Town ship and the other at Lillington with jurisdiction over all the rest of the county. A third court is to be establish ed at Angler as soon as Rep. Ore gory can introduce a bill setting up the court. Under the proposal to be sub mitted to a vote of the people: One Set Of Officials One judge and one solicitor would serve all three courts, with court sessions to be held on spe cified days of Each week in Dunn, Lillington and Angler. Records would be consolidated. Salary of the court officials would be raised and the offices woipd be fulltime, restricting the officials to court duty only and prohibiting private practice. Jurisdiction and authority of the court would be increased to allow the court to grant uncontested di vorces, to hear civil actions In volving larger sums than now al lowed in county courts and to dis pose of some other cases which now are heard only in Superior Court. Rep. Gregory pointed out that se veral counties in the State have been operating these highel courts —between recorder's court and Su perior fjourt Jurisdictionfor a number of years and that they have proven very successful. No Financial Change Finances of the court wiuld be handled in the same manner as in separate courts. Each community would pay its proportionate share of the court’s operating expenses and court revenue would be divid ed among them in the same man ner as it would otherwise. It was pointed out that this new county-wide court system would expedite the trial of oases and would relieve the always-congested Superior Court docket. Rep. Gregory indicated that his bill would provide for a vote in the near future. At the same time today. Rep. Gregory reaffirmed his intention to offer a bill setting up a muni cipal recorder’s court at Angler for trial of all oases originating in Black River Township. Oregory said he understood a few lawyers of the county were opposing establishment of this court at Angler, but reminded that he had alreaoy made a definite commitment to the citizens of An gler and that the court bill would be offered in the near future. The Great Apartment Hunt -One Landlady Wanted $5 A Month For Window-Shades BY TED CRAIL ■ Record News Editor If anyone ever asks me what kind of hunting is the most difficult, takes the greatest skill and stoutest heart, I will be happy to tell him although I’ve never shot moose or the wild impala and a good-sized rat gives me the willies. The answer — quite clearly, I think, especially in the grand old county of Harnett—le, ‘‘Apartment Hunting.” 1 Maybe you’ve had a try at this, i too. If so, you know that it can t often be pleasanter to tape a bull - elephant with a cap pistol than 1 to hit the trail In search of a new place to live. s There are, of course, many apart ment* here. A tot of folks have foreseen great uses for their oid abandoned bedrooms, or a second floor that’s just sitting up there with nobody to fill it. If new apart mens are lacking in Dunn, it can’t be claimed that the made-over kind are not available in quantity. And if you ever want to feel like a second-claw citizen. Just jump in to your automobile and have a look at a few of these.
