THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume XXVI. Number 12 WHiTCCiUBC □is* CAPITAL REPORTER HBHiL Associate Justice A. A. F. Sea well’s death Saturday brought a long-simmering State Supreme Court situation to a boil. At least three of the Justices, in cluding Mr. Seawell, were eligi ble for retirement. All three wanted to retire, but when Gover nor Scott was elected did not do so. They felt that occupation of the State’s highest tribunal called for men of dignity with the high est concept of their duties. They did not retire because they were afraid of the type men Governor Scott would name to replace them. In other words, from a State standpoint they were afraid that their retirement would put the Governor in a position of “pack ing” the State Supreme Court, much in the same manner that President Roosevelt sought to handpick members of the nation’s highest tribunal. Thus the Governor’s appoint ment to succeed Justice Seawell will be given the utmost scrutiny. If the Justices are displeased with SFC Jeffrey Carter With Marine Force Fighting in Korea WITH THE FIRST CALVARY DIVISION IN KOREA. One of the men with Task Force Lynch, an element of the 7th U. S. Calvary, who broke through Red Korean defense near Tabudong and sped 35 miles to Sangju, Korea, was Sgt. Ist Class Jeffrey D. Carter, son of Urtrice B. Carter, Zebulon, N. C. It was this task force that made the first serious breach of the North Korean positions along the Naktang River and routed the en emy. The American task force was composed of Calvarymen spearheaded by medium tanks. The unit, which rushed 20 miles through enemy territory on the first day of its dash and then climaxed its daring operation by going another 15 miles and reach ing its final objective on the sec ond day, overran and captured en emy tanks, vehicles, artillery pieces and antitank weapons. Task Force Lynch also captured more than 50 prisoners and killed more than 500 Red Korean soldiers. THE YO-YO HAT the appointment, feel the Gover nor has done just what they fear ed, there will be no retirement until after the next gubernatorial election. They will stay on, and possibly will help campaign for a conservative governor in 1952. However, if Scott names a con servative, or even a “conservative liberal,” two of the remaining justices likely will go ahead and retire if they are convinced Scott will do likewise in nam ing their successors. The new appointment probably will be made by the time this reaches print. But there is no dearth of candidates for the Su (Continued on Page 4) HARD PLAYING AS BULLDOGS EDGE WHITE RAMS, 7-6 fly m 38M..
