At one critical point after the wreck, it was fear ed that his life would be lost. Today he said, “I’m mending pretty good and I think I’ll make it again but I don’t know when I’ll be out.” He was unconscious for six days after the wreck. There was an un confirmed report that he was pull ed from the burning car by a passerby but he said he had no recollection of what happened. “I only know what I saw in the paper,” he said. Worst of his injuries was a bro ken back and he still is in a sling. ‘ One wallop from a two-inch thick slab of wood was sufficient to kill Ernest McNeil, a 24-year-old Negro who lives near Lillington. Josephus Moore, 26, has alleged ly admitted striking McNeill and is being held in Harnett County jail under a charge of murder. Harnett Chief Deputy B. E. Stur gill said he does not expect any action to have bond set before Moore is arraigned at a prelimin ary hearing in the Lillington Re corder’s Court on Thursday. | The accused man, he said, was | described as a “good friend” of the dead McNeil. , “Loyal Harrington and Johnny McLean tried to take McNeill to the hospital,” said Sturgill, “but he died before they could get him there. “Harrington was an eye-witness and he stated that Moore hit the man with this slab.” The fatal argument occurred on Route 2, Lillington, eight miles from town. Moore and McNeill were both “off visiting,” said Stur gill, and became involved in an argument. “They got to pulling one anoth er,” he said, “and then this hap pened.” The officer said there was no information yet about their argu ment except that they had disa greed about going somewhere and became angry with each other. LONDON (UPI)—Prague Radio said today that Czechoslovakia and other Communist countries, as well as Russia, have agreed to help the United Arab Republic build the huge Aswan Dam on the Nile River. Opposes Sending Envoy To Vaticions Kennedy For Separation NEW YORK (D-Mass.) said today he favors strict separation of church and state and is “flatly opposed to appointment of an am bassador to the Vatican." Kennedy was quoted in a Look magazine article assessing the possibility that the Democrats afill nominate a Roman Catholic for either president or vice president in 1960. The article, by Fletcher Knebel, said the election of a large number of Roman Catholic Democrats to key spots as gov ernors and senators last year in dicated “the 1960 convention would have to go out of its way to keep from nominating a Cath olic for the presidency or the second slot.” The magazine cited election re turns, public opinion polls and the words of Protestant political lead ers to indicate that there is com paratively little resistance to elec tion of Roman Catholics. It noted that some have felt Roman Cath olics should, however, make their positions clear on certain issues on switch their church has taken controversial stands. The magazine said Kennedy bad noted that he has voted in Con gress, in opposition to positions taken by Roman Catholic organ izations, for aid to Yugoslavia, aid to Communist satellites and the -appointment of Dr. James B. Conant as ambassador to West Germany. “Without reference to the pres idency, I believe as a senator that the separation of church from state is fundamental to our Amer ican concept and heritage Bnd should remain so,” Kennedy was quoted. “There can be no question of federal funds being used for sup port of parochial or private schools. It** unconstitutional un der the First Amendment as in terpreted by the Supreme Court,” he said. f- -■ i Dirksen Takes Issue With Sen. Johnson WASHINGTON (UPI) —Senate GOP Leader Everett M. Dirksen took direct issue today with De mocratic Leader Lyndon B. John son in the running battle of the budget.

John son told the Senate a week ago that the last Congress cut appro priations $5,660,000,000 below the President's estimates. The Illinois Republican also dif fered sharply with Johnson over spending figures for the last six years snice Eisenhower took of fice. ' . Johnson claimed that the last three congresses cut presidential budget requests by $22,637,703, 518. Dirksen offered Budget Bur eau statistics to show that the six year reduction amounted to some $6,592,000,000 - thanks mainly to heavy cuts in the last budget submitted by former PriEjsideOt Harry S. Truman. Back Door Money Dirksen did not challenge the accuracy of Johnson’s figures on reductions in budget estimates. But he added in sums authorized by Congress which do not require apropriations, authorization for which no appropriations were pro vided, an increases in federal loan programs. Such items, Dirksen said, "are what might be called the back door approach to the treasury. It is an interesting approach, and (Continned mm Page Ftve* +«* / Three Witnesses Can Identify Bandit Murdered Man's Son Offers $500 For Capture Of Killer The son of a murdered Fuquay Springs tourist court operator has offered $500 for the capture and conviction of the youthful desper ado who shot his father. “Three witnesses can make po sitive identification,” said Fuquay police chief Leon Smith who s directing the investigation into the death of O.
