John, who manages the office out at McLamb Machinery Co., had a hankering to meet Governor Clement although never really ex pected to do so. Mr. and Mrs. Mc Lamb have just returned from a vacation to Nashville, where they went primarily to attend a Sat urday night session of the Grand Ole Opry. Through mutual friends the popular Dunn couple met the famous hillbilly entertainers, Jo hnnie and Jack, who invited them out to their home in Nashville It just happens that Johnnie and Jack live nextdoor to Gov. and Mrs. Clement and the two couples are the closest of friends-So before the week was over, the Dunn couple had also become well acquainted with members of Ten nessee’s first family and Gov. Clement invited them over to his mansion for a visit—The gov ernor posed with them for pic tures_John says Gov. Clement, who also happens to be a hill billy entertainer himself, is one swell fellow and that he and Mrs. Clement treated them royally Incidentally, adds John, who has an eye for beauty, Mrs. Clement Is a dazzling doll—The Me - Lambs, of course, invited Gov. and Mrs. Clement to visit them In Dunn and the Gov. said they might just drop in simeday Many people throughout the na tion are predicting a bright fu ture for the young governor (Continued Ob Pare T*») Three Men Caught Laying In New Still Apparenty they did such good business with two stills set side by side in the Stewart’s Creek section, the owners decided to lay in a third—and that’s when the rural police stepped in.

Wilson, local attorney. It was a dignified occasion. Ev en Class President Butch Fowler, known toy that name to every body, was listed on the program as Wesley. From the opening processional when seniors marched in to the old, glorious beat of “Pomp and Circumstance,” to the recessional when seniors left to the strain of the “Triumphal March from Al da” it was a poignant moment for the graduates — and especially for their families. Dunn High’s large auditorium, seating 900 person, was filled on ground floor and balcony and a few of those who came remained standing to see the ceremonies. Rev. Leslie Tucker gave the in vocation. Sarah Frances Carroll, who recorded the second high est scholastic average of the 69 students graduating, gave the Sal utatory ^address and near the end of the progranf, immediately fol lowing presentation of diplomas, top student Anne Elizabeth Brit ton gave the Valedictory.

We have abandoned the word *tithe* for ‘offering’ in our churches but the way I look at it, a tithe calls for a bare minimum of 10 per cent for God's work and an offering should be more.” Graham delivered his fifteenth New York Crusade sermon in Madison Square Garden before a near-capacity crowd of 17,500. In the audience were representatives of Chicagoland Youth for Christ and 700 persons from the Boston area who came here on a special train sponsored by the New Eng land Fellowship and other I reli gious groups.

The commission proposed that the President of the seminary meet requirements calling for qualified theologian and a mem ber of either the National Baptist I Convention, U.S.A., Inc., or of the Southern Baptist Convention.” The 15,000 member convention Thursday elected Rep.

McNeill of near Broadway on Thursday In Harnett Recorder’s Court. A third submitted as guilty in the same larceny case. t Duncan Patterson, 20, and Jun ior Baker, 20, of Sanford were sentenced by Judge Robert B Morgan to six months on the roads, a sentence which was sus pended when the two were placed' on probation for five years. They were ordered to return the wheels, pulleys and dust chain they alleg edly removed at various times from the sawmill property of Me* \ •. Neill, or pay him for the loss, es timated at less than one hundred dollors. The third defendant, Alfred Wheat, a native of Alabama, who was implicated by the other two as the one who proposed the theft received six months, to run con current with a sentence received May 28 in Lee County.

Temple, rural policeman, (OeatteM on Page Floe) \ Faces Possible Fine And Prison Term Marilyn Monroes Husband Found Guilty O Contempt WASHINGTON (NP) — - Playwright Arthur Miller, was found guilty today of contempt of Congress. Federal District Court Judge Charles F. McLaughlin made the ruling in a 15-page decision. He found the questions which Miller refused to answer before the House Committee on Un-American Activities last summer were "per tinent” to the committee’s pass port investigation. Miller, husband of movie star Marilyn Monroe, had declined to name persons who attended a 1947 meeting of Communist Party Wri ters which he admitted attending. He said he declined to name them on grounds of “conscience.” His defense was that the ques tions were not pertinent to the committee’s investigation. Miller faces a maximum penal ty of $1,000 fine and one year in jail. No specific date was set for the sentencing. Miller wa* not present when the verdict was disclosed. The ruling was not announced in open court. In a somewhat unusual move, the judge merely filed his decis- j ion with the court clerk, without-] opening the court to announce his 1 «lon. No reason was given > Wanner in which the decis ion was disclosed. The judge had heard the case without a jury. The six-day trial ended May 23. The judge delayed his verdict until today pending filing of additional arguments by Miller’s lawyers. In his ruling, McLaughlin said Miller’s motive for refusing to disclose the names of his associ ates — "however commendable” — could not be considered in judging the case. McLaughlin also noted that he was urged to take into account the fact that Miller had been ‘‘frank and cooperative” with the House committee and answered all questions except the two in question. McLaughlin said the court’s “duty and responsibility,” never theless, is to decide whether Miller is guilty or not guilty of violating the law.

Board Stops Sample Withdrawal Hodges Condems Free Rum For Solons DALEIGH (UP)—The State Alcdholic Beverage Con trol Board today stopped the withdrawal of salesman’s “samples” of whisky from the central warehouse used by the state ABC system. Board Chairman Tom Allen, in a report to Gov. Luther H. Hodg es, said there had been no illegal withdrawals of whiskey from the warehouse, but that “it is the view of the board that the prac tice of permitting salesmen to withdraw whisky from the ware house for use as samples is bad and would permit abuse should such permits fall into the hands of unscrupulous persons.” It is believed that the with - drawal of "samples” from the central warehouse is the source of free liquor reported to have been distributed free to legislators dur ing the current session of the Ge neral Assembly. No Legal Proof Hodges, upon receiving Alleh’s report, issued a statement that “the alleged practice of giving liquor away to legislators is to oe condemned." Hodges added, "It is my hope (ConttnoeO am Psp Tire Two Lanes To Be Opened By December Traffic on the busy North South Highway 301 will be switched from the present route to the new 301 Super Highway which by-passes Dunn in about six months, it was announced here today by Sixth Division Engineer L. E. Whitfield. Only two of the four lanes will be completed and opened at that time, but these will be more ade quate! than the present route,. , Whitfield said. I 'Engineer Whitfield said that, barring any unexpected delay be cause of weather or other compli cations, the switch in traffic should be completed before De cember 1. At that time the present old route which has served for many years as the main artery between New York and Miami will be | come a mere alternate to the j multi-million dollar super high way. Today’s announcement caught the whole area — and particular ly service stations, tourist homes and other firms catering to tour ist travel — completely by sur prise as completion of the highway had not been expected for at least two years or longer. ' ' It is true, said Whitfield, that the gigantic project won’t be fin ely completed for two years or fcflore but two of the lanes will be completed and opened to traffic (Continued on Page Five) Swimming Pool Opens Saturday 2 P.
