FRIDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1961 NUMBER I Motor Law Violators Fined In County Court Violators of the motor ve hicle laws drew fines ranging from $10 to $100, plus court costs, when they appeared be fore Judge Julius Banzct in Recorder's Court on last Fri day. . The $100 fine and costs were imposed upon Eddie Bryant Wagoner when he was found guilty on a drunken driving charge. Charles Dean Newell was called and failed to appear in court to answer charges of drunk driving, hit and run, and no operator's license. His bond was declared forfeited. Verdicts in other cases in volving violations of the motor vehicle laws included: Alexander Tuck, reckless driving, $25.00 and costs. Charles Barry Ferguson, speeding, costs. James Rodgers Sammons, speeding, costs. Walter Norris Alford, speed ing, costs. Roger Franklin Garrett, speeding, $10.00 and costs. Gerald H. McDonald, speed ing, $15.00 and costs. Donald Gene Keeton, speed ing, $10.00 and costs. David Horace Ayscue, speed-' ing, costs. Will Allen Connell, speeding, I driving on wrong side of road,! costs. ' Clarence Alex May, speeding,] costs. Solomon Davis, no operator's! license, $25.00 and costs. Dr. Joseph Francis Wiggins, | speeding, cost of court. Clyde Norwood Parker, speed ing, court costs. Harry Caswell Handoe, fail ure to display license plate, nol operator's license, $25.00 and | costs. John Henry Henderson was in court charged with improper brakes and with no opera tor's license. He was found guilty of improper brakes. The State took a nol pros on charge of No Operator's License, as the defendant exhibited a valid operator's license. He was tax ed with court costs on the im-| proper brake charge. In other cases before Judge Banzet, the State took a nol pros with leave in cases against Theodore Smiley and Fred Powell and Bernard Collins, charged with assault. Alton Davis, found guilty of an assault with a deadly wea pon, was sentenced to the roads for 90 days. More Veterans And Widows May Become Eligible Some veterans, and widows of some deceased veterans, who have not been eligible for Fed eral benefits bcause of insuffi cient active military service, may now become eligible by adding to the veteran's active duty period the certified time it took to proceed directly home after separation from service. Veterans Administration of ficials explained that all vet erans discharged or released after December 31, 1956, have already been credited with this travel time. A law passed last summer extended this provi sion to all other veterans, J. D. DeRamus, Manager, VA Region al Office, Winsrton-Salem, N. C.t explained today. The pension claims of some 2,500 veterans and a number of widows have been disallow ed by the VA because the vet erans had less than 90 days ol service. By adding the travel time as certified by the vet eran's service department, som< of these veterans will now have the 90 days of service needed to qualify. The new law is particularly important to Spanish-Americar War veterans, who qualify foi a special lower-rate pension 11 they have at least 70 days ol active service. The homeward travel time of those who wen previously Ineligible may giv? them the necessary 70 days t< meet the service requirement Others who are receiving th< lower-rate pension, may haw their service period increased to 90 days and qualify for the regular service pension at the higher rate. The VA can identify and is reviewing all 70-day cases which may become eligible for the regular service pension, Mr. DeRamus said. But Spanish-American War veterans who had less than 70 days of service are not known to the VA. Neither are the widows of Spanish-American War veterans who previously had less than 90 days of serv ice. Any of these who think that the addition of the travel time from the place of dis charge to the veteran's home would make them eligible for i pension, should contact the nearest VA Regional Office.

Board Adopts New Regulations At the last meeting, the War ren County Board of Health adopted two new regulations governing sanitation practices. One code is a revision of the ordinance regulating individual sewage disposal systems; the other is a code regulating op eration of Trailer Courts. These regulations are considered nec essary in order to keep up with current practices in Pub lic Health. The sewage regulations are designed to give guidance and directions to persons installing septic tanks and other sewage disposal systems for homes. The new minimum requirements call for larger septic tanks and nitrification fields in order to enable the system to provide better disposal service. These requirements are based on soli conditions in Warren County, which are poor, as well as size of homes and use of appliances. The trailer court regulations are designed to provide per sons with sound guidance for maximum efficiency and con venience in designing, operat ing, and maintaining trailer courts in Warren County. - Persons who will be affect ed by these regulations, espe cially home-owners putting in, or altering, sewage disposal systems, are urged to discuss the codes with contractors and with the Health Department. The regulations are not meant to be simply for law enforce ment, but to provide guidance to ensure maximum service. The Health Department invites i all interested parties to discuss these matters with the Health Director or the Sanitarian, to gain a clearer understanding of better, more modern, Health and Sanitation Practices. * Income Tax Cuts Urged To SpurNation'sGrowth The tax system must be sim plified and broadened, with much lower Income tax rates and larger exemptions, if our economy is to get the funds tJrgjjeeds for healthy growth, former Under Secretary of the Treasury Roswell Magill writes in the January Reader's Digest. "Our pridpal competitors in the world market, notably West Germany and the Soviet Union have long preceded us in utilis ing the far more successful ?ale* and excise taxes," say Mr. Magill, who is now Chairman of the Tax Foundation. "It is perhaps eignlfiant that in Sov iet Russia 80 percent of the gram national product goes into capital investment; in West Germany it is 23 percent; in thn United States IS percent. Wet and unhappily unique in our dependence on an income tag which offers no incentive to wr aitt< produee, and which abeorb# earnings that be invented in new! tax pro-1 dollar* in I960 to 96 billion In! but etUl . it on be and rates actually lowered?if so-called "loopholes" are plug ged. Magill denies this. If all exemptions and deductions were wiped out - ? the extra exemption granted to the blind, interest on home mortages, de duction for hurricane destruc tion, for three examples ? the tax would lose much of the quality of fairneess that caused its adoption. And it is only this quality of fairness which has induced taxpayers to tolerate it, despite its high rates, he writes. Instead, he concludes, "we need to add a productive, simpler form of tax to our federal fiscal arsenal." The article is titled " 'Plug ging the Loopholes' Is Not the Answer."

Chuck PinnaU U " " lor hie Income Tax Forms Now Being Sent o RALEIGH ? The State De partment of Revenue began mailing out income tax return forms to more than a million Tarheel citizens Wednesday. Revenue Commissioner W. A. Johnson said the forms should make more taxpayers happy than sad. Johnson pointed out that th's year about 820,000 taxpayers received refunds after they filled out the income tax re turns and returned them to the state. "That means these returns are not painful at all to most," Johnson said, "They are pleas ant instead." The taxpayers will use the returns to figure out how much they owe the state in taxes on their 1961 income. They are supposed to be filled out and returned by April 15. The state now collects its individual income taxes through the payroll withholding meth od. Those who paid too little this way will pay some more, while those who paid too much will get a refund. The revenue department mailed out about 1.3 million of the income tax forms last year and will mail a few more than that this year. Divorce Isn't MEXICO CITY?Police said today a mail-order divorce mill operating in central Mexico may have sert phony decrees to tens of thousands of couples on three continents. Investigators estimated that 50,000 couples in California alone may have received worth less divorces from the mill, which operated here and in the nearby resort town of Cuerna vaca. Records seized in a raid on a law office here indicated that hundreds of other invalid di vorces may have been sent to persons in at least six other countries ? Argentina, Brazil, Chile, France, Italy and Spain. Four persons have been ar rested in connection with the ring's activities and a fifth is expected. Papers seized here and in Cuernavaca indicated that agents and branch offices in northern Mexico and the branch offices in Northern Mexico and the southwestern United States solicited busi ness, promising cut-rate Mexi can divorces by mail. The papers arrived as prom ised, the police said, but the divorces were recorded only in private files. They are of no legal value.

Dr. Frank Graham, mediator for the Unit ed Nations, said Wednesday the international organization was a "moral imperative of hu man survival." Graham, in Charlotte to visit two of his sisters, said the U. N. would "come through" de spite its "ups and downs, frus trations and setbacks." He said he felt the world's leftists ana the extreme right in the United States were "in an unconscious alliance to weaken or destroy the United Nations." Graham has given more fian 300 talks in 40 states while waiting for his cases to be heard at the U. N. He said he found opposition to the organi zation was vocal and aggressive but that the majority of Ameri cans support the United Nations Graham said he felt other international organizations, such as NATO, should be reinforce ment of the principles.and pur poses of the United Nations rather than alternatives. He felt there were many so lutions to the growing hostility between East and West and said many projects could divert the so-called "inevitable con flict." Graham said chaos would re sult from world conflict. The alternatives he listed as "pro gressive and responsible self determination of all peoples, long-range plans for economic development and mutual aid for the peoples of the under developed nations procedures I of conciliation, negotiated peace ful settlements of disputes and ' continued efforts for effective and universal disarmament." He said the world could choose between "universal well being and brotherhood?or uni versal suicide of the human race. "It's the first time in hu man history man has had the power to create a world that can provide for all people," he declared.
