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 Film Shown At Rotary Meet The film, “Still In Business”, vas shown at the Rotary Club meeting last night by Art Bryant, agent in charge of the local ATTI post.

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 (Continued on Page Biz) Reduction Goes Into Effect By Next Week WASHINGTON (UPI) — The Senate today passed decisively and sent to President Johnson a land mark $11.5 billion tax cut bill that means an average $4-to-$5 week ly paycheck boost for millions.
