Baker's Secretary
Denies Wrongdoing
WASHINGTON (UPI) — Trim,
attractive Carole Tyler, Bobby
Bake’s girl Friday, today defied
the Senate committee investigat
ing her former boss and pleaded
for public understanding.
Appearing at a nationally-tele
vised hearing, Miss Tyler, a form
er Tennessee beauty queen, refus
ed to answer questions on the cons
titutional grounds tha tthe sena
tors wej;e invading her privacy
and that any answers might tend
tc incriminate her.
In a statement she was allowed
to read, the 24-year-old brown
haired beauty said the sole purpose
of the hearing “seems to be bring
down upon me and others the vio
lence of public reaction because
of my alleged past associations.”
At another point, the poised,
chic witness firmly told the sena
tors: “I deny I am guilty of any
legal or moral wrongdoing, but I
am availing myself of this cons
titutional privilege in view of my
reasonable apprehension of even
unwarranted prosecution.’’
Refuses to Answer
She gave her name as Nancy
Carole Tyler. But she declined to
give her address. An earlier wit
ness has said she is living at a
$28,000 Washington town house
purchased by Baker, who listed
her as a cousin on the application
form.
From that point on. Miss Tyler
refused on her two constitutional
claims to respond to a series of
questions asked by committee
counsel L. P. McClendon.
After the 46-minute session, Mc
Clendon said it was possible that
Miss Tyler would be cited for con
tempt of Congress by the com

John Thomas Admonishes:
Hospital Location Not Too
Important, Quit Bickering
By JOHN G. THOMAS
What difference does it make as
to where the proposed $2,070,000
Dunn hospital is located as long as
it isn’t located on the city dump?
We are getting slightly tired of
hearing about this.
It is about the same as the com
ments we’ve heard in recent years
as to the fact that only a few men
are involved in industry in Dunn
and that only they make money out
of it.
In the case of this last comment
It seems to us that the reason for
the situation, if it is true, is that
only a few persons up to the time
the packing plant came here, would
put up the money for industry In
Dunn that benefited not only those
few but everyone. So why should
I
n’t they benefit for the chance they
take?
But the hospital site argument is
a little different.
There have been comments and
reports that first this person and
then that person has offered 20 or
30 acres of land to the hospital,
free, so they can build on adjoin
ing property and their property can
grow in value.
“Silly Argument”
Now isn’t that a silly argument?
If we had 30 acres of land to build
on free of charge and suitable for a
hospital, we’d probably build on it
To be sure if the offer of land is
free what difference does it make
that the adjolnmg land rises in
value? After all, those who honest
ly seek to help the town have the
right to gain something out of that
seeking.
But this is neither here nor there.
Just so the land is suitable for
such a hospital and just so it doesn’t
cost too much - certainly it would
be all right if it was given free -
it doesn’t seem to us to matter
where it might go.
Hits “Jealousy Greed”
The question of where it should
or should not go seems to us a
question of jealously and greed and
selfishness.
Whether the hospital is to the
east, west, north or south of the
business district should not mat
ter, just so It isn’t too far away
from the center of things and the

Permanent Injuries
Mrs Capps testified and also of

Dunn attorney Robert C. Bryan,

ran off the road, then ran back
onto the road into the path of the
