Younts, general mana ger of Radio Station WEEB, was tried and acquitted in Moore re corders court Monday of a charge of careless and reckless driving causing horses to become fright- jned, under an old statute seldom if ever invoked before in the county. He was indicted by Mrs. Mary F. Dixon of Pinehurst, who said that horses ridden by herself and Robert Freels, a groom, became extremely frightened when founts passed them in the WEEB station wagon, at what she and Freels both estimated at “around 70 miles an hour,” with siren olowing, on the Connecticut Ave nue Extension road to Fort Bragg Tuesday, November 17. Younts denied on the stand that he was driving in excess of 50 miles an hour. He said that he had just received a radio flash of cne fatal airdrop accident on DZ Holland, in which 15 men were killed, and was on his way to ren der what aid he could. It was brought out by the de fense that Younts is communica tions chairmam of the N. C. Civil Defense program, also disaster gnd relief chairman of the local Red Cross. He is also, through his station, a member of the Associa ted Press and it was in the field of public information he was placed on duty following his ar rival at Fort Bragg, remaining on duty for 10 hours, and getting the story of the accident, including casualty lists, to the world. He said that, on the way to the reservation, as he rounded a bend on the sandclay road about a half- mile past the Bethesda road in tersection he saw two horses and riders but observed no signs of distress, nor any signal made with lifted arm or hand. The statute. Article 7, Section 20-216, says that a motor vehicle passing a horse, or horses, “o& other draft animals” must stop if a rider raises his arm, allow a “reasonable time” for the animals’ fright to subside, and render what aid he can. Mrs. Dixon and Freels both tes tified that their horses became frightened to the extent it requir ed a very strong effort to control them' and prevent disaster. They said other cars had passed them and caused no trouble, but that the horses became agitated at the first sound of the station wagon’s siren, and that Freels held up his arm to try and get the car to stop as it approached over about a 200-yard distance. With siren still blcwing, they said, the vehicle dashed by. State Highway Patrolman Low- rimore was also a witness, testify ing as to the condition of the road. W. A. Leland McKeithen of Pinehurst, defense attorney, em phasized the “mission of mercy” on which Younts was headed, find read a letter of commendation written by the Associated Press for his excellent service in gather ing and disseminating the news of the paratroop tragedy. Though he was not called on in his civil de fense and Red Cross capacities, the attorney said he had stood ready to serve, as a trained man. Solicitor W. Lamont Brown in his summation cited another stat ute, whereby even ambulances trust obey the speed laws when otherwise human life woulu h.e endangered, and pointed out that the automobile driver has mech anical controls he can use at any time, whereas the rider of a horse can control his mount up to a cer tain point. He also questioned Younts’ right to use the siren, and the relevance of citing civil de fense and Red Cross jobs, adding, “It is apparent he was there as a reporter only.” Judge J. Vance Rowe, in ac quitting the defendant, said he could not be convinced ‘Tjeyond a reasonable doubt” that careless and reckless driving was involv ed, or that Younts had seen '"or could have been expected to see” Freels’ upraised arm under the circumstances, or to have recog nized it as a signal of distress. The law is an old cne, and court officials could not remem ber its having been invoked in modern times. Freels said he knew of it “because they have a similar law in Tennesssee,” his native state.

FHEATRES CAKOLINA Continuing through this Thurs day, Friday and Saturday, De cember 3-4-5 at 8:15 p. m., with a Saturday m-ctinee at 3 at the Car olina Theatre, is “Thunder Over the Plains” in WarnerColor, star ring Randolph Scott. This is a well-made, tailcred-to-his-talents drama set in post-Civil War Texas and having to do with the ma chinations of some carpetbaggers to keep the state in continual un rest and thus out of the Union. Supporting the star are PhyUis Kirk, as his wife, and Lex Barker, a recent Tarzan as Scott’s junior officers in the army c-f occupation. The gayest week of the entire year will be remembered after the week of December 6, when that glorious entertainment “Kiss Me Kate” will occupy the screen at the Carolina Theatre the en tire week at 8:15 p. m. with mati nees Sunday,,Tuesday and Satur day at 3 p. m. Now running at the New York Music Hall, it is bright and merry as a box of sugar candy, tinkling as tunefully as a music box, and bubbling with en tertainment every second of its 109 minutes of running time. Taken from the successful Broadway Musical play, out of Shakespeare’s “Taming Of The Shrew,” the picture follows the Spewack production closely with the mobility of the motion picture camera and superb Technicolor adding greatly to the over-all ef feet. The Bard would have approved the music and lyrics by Cole Por ter in depth and at a quality level which must certainly set a record for a single composer-lyricist. There are no less than 14 major song numbers, ranging from “Wunderbar” to “Too Darn Hot.” Participating in this festival comedy, modern sophistication and engaging music are Howard Keel and Kathryn Grayson With important support from- Ann Miller, Keenan Wynn and Jdmes Whitme-re. “Kiss Me Kate” is an entertain ment treat for all and it promises to be the best of the entire year. It has everything from slap-stick to Shakespeare, including sizable helpings of romance, farce, spec tacle and oneretta—or what is yotm taste? You name it—“Kate” has it.
