Assistant Defense Secretary Arthur Sylvester told newsmen the planes were MIG 15’s and MIG 17’s, both subsonic fighters of Russian manufacture. They are not considered a match for the types of fighters the United States has deployed aboard car riers in the South China Sea and at bases in South Viet Nom. Sylvester also said that “to the test of my knowledge" there had been nothing like a “confronta tion" between American and Red Jhjnese plane.v over the Gulf of onkin. This was an official denial of a published report from Saigon Monday which said American plan es have “scrammed’* to intercept Red Chinese planes operating out cf the island or Hainan.

Fnvored" Site Place Blalock Says Threats Made Against Him Mayor George Franklin Blalock said today in no uncertain tones that Dunn’s new $2,070,000 hospital is "definitely going on the west side of town or it may be a long time before it goes anywhere.” “That’s where at least 80 or 90 per cent of the people want it lo cated and I intend to do everything j in my power to see that the will of the people is carried out,” said Blalock. “I. don’t intend to let a few people ram down the throats of the people a location which not only is undesirable, but inaccessible and the one least favored of all.” He also lashed out at members of the Dunn hospital board who, he charged, “have attempted to make me a public whipping boy,” and said he’s ready to take them on, “in public debate, individually or collecively to let the people of .Dtt#n know just what’s been going on.'*’ The mayor charged a conspiracy had been attempted “at secret meetings between certain members of the hospital board and three members of the city council right after the bond election in an at tempt to defeat me and prevent the hospital from being operated like a public hospital, but it didn’t work.” Can Block Project As mayor, he pointed out, he has the power to block the whole project simply by refusing to sign necessary papers in connection with the issuance of bonds and made it clear he intends to do ex actly that. “But nobody can point a finger at George Blalock and say the may or is holding up this project,” he continued. “The blame will go to those few people who think it can be erected on just one piece of (Continued on Page Four) Mrs. Rosa Wells of Dunn Is First Farmers Receiving ASC Grain Checks Mrs. Rosa Wells of Rt. 3, Dunn was the first feed grain grower in Harnett County to receive her final 1964 feed grain payment.

Official Report Is Received McKay Site Termed As Satisfactory; Other Is Rejected Chairman Myres Tilghman of the board of trustees of Betsy Johnson Memorial Hospital today received from the State Medical Care Commission its appraisal of two sites on the west side of town inspected here last week by two of its representatives. The letter was from Bruce K. Jones, architect, who was here with William P. Henderson, exe cutive secretary of the commis sion. This report expressed opinion the Flora McKay property “ap pears to be a most satisfactory site assuming subsoil conditions are adequate.** It said it would approve the site “on the condition that the strip of land between the proper ty and the highway is made a part of the site.” Mrs. Henry Shell, owner of the strip mentioned, reportedly has offered to donate it for that pur pose. REASONS GIVEN The Medical Care report advis ed against the site owned by Al sey Johnson and Mrs. Susan Tart because of the close proximity of an abattoir and a cemetery. “Because of these conditions of environment, it is believed the lo cal authorities might wish to con sider other sites that have been offered,” recommended Medical Care. Mayor Blalock announced yes terday that both sites had been approved by Medical Care. This was before receipt of the written findings and the mayor said today he apparently misunderstood the officials in his conversation with them. COST IS CITED A member of the hospital board pointed out today that the McKay site would coat $10,000 while the Lakeside location would be do nated absolutely free. He also pointed out that the Lakeside site already has ade quate water and sewerage facili ties without any cost. On the other hand, he said, the lines would have to be run for a distance of about 2,500 feet from the McKay property to connect on the old Dunn-Erwin highway at an estimated cost of $14,000. The McKay site would also ne cessitate the installation of a lift station, estimated to cost from $10,000 to $12,000 plus mainten ance. Following is the complete text of the report received by Chair man Tiighman from Medical Care: ! William F. Henderson and Bruce K. Jones conferred at Dunn on August 6, 1964 with represen tatives of the Town Board and Betsy Johnson Memorial Hospital Board of Trustees to discuss pos sible participation by the Com mission in a proposed hospital to be sponsored by the city and to inspect additional sites proposed for location of the project. The following sites were viewed: 1. McKAY PROPERTY — This is a cultivated tract of lan don Highway 421 west of Dunn. The property is rolling and well-drain ed. It was reported afceep table municipal water and sewer facili ties could be extended to the site. Any 20 acres of the tract could be made available for the hospi tal site including a separate tract comprising a narrow triangular strip of land between the site and (Continued on Page Six) For President Prote> of Senate Sen. Morgan Picks Up More Support State Sen. Robert B. Morgan of Lillington teas gairned the sup port of influential Senate vete rans in his race for president pro tempore of that body in its 1965 session. State Sen .Thomas J. White of Kinston last week abandoned any ambitions he may have had for the position and said he will sup port Morgan — one of the top strategists in the conservative Democratic ^action headed by Dr. I Beverly Lake. Today State Sen. Ralph Scott of Hawfieros said if he is re-elect ed to the Senate in November he intends to support Morgan, a per sonal friend. Morgan, the I960 campaign manager of Dr. I. Beverly Lake in the latter's first race for gover nor and a top Lake strategist in Lake’s second losing attempt, was getting support from outside his own political faction. Sen. Mor gan was one of the Lake sup porters who came into th^ camp of the Democratic gubernatorial nominee Don K. Moore in the second primary battle. His two remaining opponents for president pro tem of the Sen ate are Dallas Alford of Rocky { Mount and State Sen. Hector Me- i Lean of Lumberton. Scott said that he and Morgan ' “always have worked well togeth- ; er,” In the Senate while they have differed on some issues. The fact that they had been on opposite sides in the Gover nor’s race wouldn’t prevent his supporting Morgan, he said. Actually both Alford and Mc I Lean more nearly fit into the statewide political forces with whom Scott has been aligned in the governor’s race. Both have worked well with the Sanford ad ministration. But Scott said he doubted the contest for president pro tem pore wil revolve around any old alignments. So few of the senate’* Demo cratic nominees are returning veterans that the president pro tern’s race won't be determined by old friendships formed in the Senate itself. Observers expect the race may narrow to two can didates, instead of three, at l*aa| by the time the November emo tion is fimsnea.
