While Parents Worry
Forty-one spoiled American brats—and one grown up
clergyman whose viewpoint is more difficult to under
stand—are on their way, at this writting, from Moscow to
Peiping. They are proceeding in spite of protests by the
US State Department and as "guests” of Red China with
whom as Under Secretary Christian A. Horter so delicate
ly suggests, we are in “a quasi-state of war”.
While we can not conceive of any self-respecting Am
erican accepting a gift—and most particularly a tour of
the country—from the Peiping killers, we thing Mr. Her
ter might have spelled out that “quasi-state of war’. He
should have told these unspanked kids that the US De
partment applies this term to a country where it has no
means whatever for protecting the lives or freedom of
its nationals—where, if they go in, he hopes they can get
out, but don’t ask Washington for help.
At whatever pain it might cost him, Mr. Herter snould
have reminded these eager beavers that hundreds of their
older brothers (General VanFleet estimates them at over
400), who gave their blood and offered their lives to de
fend their country, not to embarrass it, have been hope
lessly, illegally and immorally imprisoned since the Pan
munjom armistice of four years gao. He should have told
them that this “quasi-state of war” is something consid
erably more degrading to the US than a state of defeat,
for in honorable defeat the vanquished retrieve their men
from enemy hands.
No doubt the Red Chinese hosts of our headstrong
boys and girls will be most careful to see that nothnig
untoward mars their tour of Asia’s Marxian paradise, and
that they will all leave the country in good order however
disillusioned. But supposing they shouldn't all emerge
from the bamboo curtain? Suppose we are told that some
have chosen to stay? What happens then?
Our Korean veterans in Mao’s dungeons- if any still
survive—know the answer.

the man called Jackson had driven
her to.
Mrs. McFaden .telling her story
through swollen lips, said that she
hud gone with Jackson because he
offered to drive her home from
the bus station where they met.
Hut as they passed her house, she
said, he had raced on at 90 miles
an hour, refusing to stop.
He then drove on to a building
somewhere in Robeson County,
she said, and loaded several cases
of white lightning into the back of
his automobile. She glimpsed
“dozens of cases” of the liquor
stored in the building.
From there Jackson went to the
home of an unidentified Negro,
opened a jar o fliquor and began
to drink—afterwards driving to
the scene in the woods where he
allegedly threw her to the ground
"He began kissing me and I
tried to bite him,” Mrs. McFaden
told the officers.

later, she stumbled to the Rocklish

Residents telephoned the Cumber
land County sheriff's department.
She was admitted to a Iloke County
hospital and was expected to re
main there several days.
While local officers probe for
news of Jackson’s where—abouts,
Robeson County authorities are
looking for the big, secret cache of
white liquor.
Grimes
(Conttnurd Prom Pape One)
cute Grimes.
Grimes has retained several
leading Eastern North Carolina
attorneys including John Rodman
brother of former State Atty. Gen.
and present Supreme Court Jus
tice William B. Rodman.
Until today Rumley and Ca
hoon refused to discuss reasons
for the shooting related to them
by Grimes. Grimes was not avail
able to talk to newsmen.
Rumley said he could give no
further information because it
would be ‘‘revealing evidence and
would not be proper.”
Details In Court
He said details “will come out
in court.”
A preliminary hearing is sched
uled Friday morning. If Grimes
waives the hearing, or if probable
causes are found, the case will
go to criminal court in early Sep
tember.
Grimes called authorities to the
scene of the shooting, a tobacco
barn near the fashionable home of
• the former county solicitor, soon
• after the shooting. Paul leased a
i farm next to one owned by
i Grimes’ father.
Grimes resigned as county cor
oner Tuesday morning. The coun
ty commissioners have scheduled
Dewey
(Continued from Puce One)
on the city council and he is now
in his third year. Chairman of
the street committee, he is proud
of the fact that the council got
North McKay open last pear and
paved it this year.
The present council is free of
discord as their smooth and unde
bated election of Dewey to the po
sition of mayor pro tern would in
dicate.
In the past few months, the
council has concentrated on .the
“farming out” of various jobs, for
merly performed by the city, to
private contractors. Whittenton
said he thinks this has gone ab
out far enough.
Friends expect him to remain
in there pitching as a councilman,
expect him to do fine in the may
or’s shoes — if there's ever occa
sion to slip into them.
Last term the council never did
■get around to choosing a pro tern
mayor to back up Hanna. And it
wasn’t exactly tragic. Nobody no
ticed.
