LITTLE NOTES ABOUT
PEOPLE, POLITICS, ETC.
Judge Malcolm Seawell’s camp
aign for governor entered the fin
al week today a little quieter than
usual. *
In fact, his campaign manager
In Harnett, Attorney Bobby Bryan
oi Dunn, was plum speechless —
couldn’t say a word in his behalf.
And can’t until a few days after
the votes are counted Saturday
night.
It’s doctor’s orders. The energe.
tic young Dunn lawyer was strick
en with a throat ailment and doc
tors have advised him not to ut_
ter one single word for at least 10
days.
But Bobby can still pass out
cards and is hoping to get his
\oice back in time for the second
primary.

John Larkins has a face like pie
crust—about the same color and
with a kind of rough formed-un
der-heat texture.
That’s not throwing off on him
because the most notable of Amer
ican politicians had the same crag
gy sort of face, fashioned for
strength and not for beauty.
Campaigning through Harnett
County this morning, he kept his
hand-shaking arm extended i n
front of him like the cow-catcher
on a slighltly old-fashioned but
high-powered train.
A squat Lillington man called
to Larkins. “OP Sanford sure is
crytn’ ain’t he?”
Larkins just winked at that. He
was a little hard to draw out on
individual criticisms of the other
three running for the governor
ship. He said this was kind of a
family-fuss they were all having
and when the primary is over he
expects everybody, like good De
mocrats, to work together.
But he did have something to
say about Dr. I. Beverly Lake.
Dr. Lake, he said, claims h e
wrote the act which governs
school assignments in North Car
olina.
‘‘Well, it was written in the at
torney general's office and: just
which lawyer did it I wouldn’t
know. But even so, the idea was
not his. It was done on the rec
ommendation of the Pearsall
committee.”
He said that Dr. Lake, far from
having a more effective approach
to the school question than the
other candidates, has made a pro
position which would upset the ba
lance.
“He would have the state adopt

Hawaiian Islands Hard Hit
Tidal Waves Kill Nine
HONOLULU (UPI) — A series
of tidal waves triggered by
Chilean earthquakes smashed into
the Hawaiian Islands today,
killing at least nine persons and
causing untold injuries and wide
spread destruction.
Tidal waves also struck Cali
fornia, beaching boats and dam
aging waterfront facilities frorr
San Diego to San Francisco. Nc
injuries were reported on the
mainland.
The waves were generated by
disastrous earthquakes whicti
rocked Chile during the weekend,
killing at least 205 persons and
injuring another 1.000. The
[ destructive force of the quakes
! rocking the Chilean coast from
Concepcion to Ancud, was com

Condemnation
Bill Still
Not Voted On
Whether new homes here should
be required to include special me
chanical garbage grinders is still
being debated in the city council.
The proposed measure, along
with a condemnation ordinance,
was slated for a vote 'ast Thursday
night but councilmen continued
the actual vote until later.
Action on the garbage dispose
alls has been pending for some
months now. Theory of its pro
ponents is that city garbage col
lectors won't have to handle so
much “wet garbage.” The dispose
alls would be required, at least at
first, only in new construction.
Councilman B. A. Bracey was
absent at the latest meeting of
the board. The condemnation ordi
nance was put back for discussion
when all board members will be
present. The city has invited com
ment from townspeople on this or
dinance, the text of which can be
examined at city hall.
Mayor George Franklin Blalock
told the commissioners Thursday
night that there has been no fur
ther word from the county about
joint city-county planning since a
joint session many weeks ago.
Board member Bill Bryan pro
posed that the city check its policy
on requiring a $200 fee for send
ing the fire department to an out
of-town fire. His proposal was pre
ciptated by the burning of a car
belonging to high school coach
Guy Wilson, a Dunn resident who
happened to be outside town when
his car caught -fire and burned.
City attorney Howard Godwin will
determine whether the car, as per
sonal property of an actual resi
dent, would be subject to the same
fee as other rural fires.
A RARE ONE
Dunn Hospital reported a rarity
this morning. They managed to go
through the weekend without ad
mitting a single accident victim to
a bed. Can’t remember when i*
' happened last.

Sanford told a throng of cheering

Witnesses for Jones in Florida
Dynamiting Trial
Delayed ByDefensi
The bus dynamiting trial of Ba. |
ersville Indian Enoch Jones has
been delayed until the next term
of Harnett Superior Court as the
result of a defense motion.
Dunn attorney D. K. Stewart,
who will represent Junes in the
New Year’s Eve dynamiting ease,
told Judge William Y. Bickett that
two witnesses, important to the
defense, were in Florida and could
not testify at this session.
Stewart identified the witnesses
as Dan MeCausley and his wife,
Sarah. He did not say how their
testimony would bear on the evi
dence to be presented. Jones was
bound over for grand jury action
from Recorder’s Court in Dunn.
State-wide attention was directed
to the dynamiting which involved
a school bus used to transport In.
dian youngsters from this county
to East Carolina Indian school,
where there are high school facili
ties. The dynamiting was widely
interpreted as precipitated by
rows between school officials and
Indian parents.
Since his release under bond in
the dynamiting, Jones has been
arrested again by Cumberland
County authorities. He is charged
with the stabbing of Williford
Strickland, a youth rumored by
one of the witnesses on whom
the prosecution planned to rely
in the prosecution case.
Jones, arrested fur assault, dal
med that Strickland cut himsel
during an argument.

Sanford's charge that the leaf
