There will be no more state parties until next fall, though the President and Mrs. Eisenhower will continue their formal entertaining for \ isiting dig nitaries. One of these. Emperor I Haile Selassie of Ethiopia, is due May 26. Lights went up on the White 1 House social scene after five years while the mansion was under re pair when the Eisenhower's launch ed a full-scale program in Novem ber with a dinner for the Cabinet. Although there were 6 White House dinners and 5 receptions this seas on. All were held on Tuesdays, dinners at 8 o'clock and receptions at 9 o'clock, white tie a must for the men and kid gloves for the ladips. Two of the dinners were for the diplomatic corps. For most of the envoys from the 75 foreign coun tries represented here it was their first appearance at a state function here. ? There was also a reception for the diplomats, most colorful because the men turned out in their elegant court costtumes, with ribbons and medals to boot. Also colorful was the February reception for the top U. S. military brass, at which the gold braid over shadowed the ball gowns. The Atmy-Navy-Air Force affair was one of the liveliest, for as one guest aptly put it, the military services make their own good times. "A clannish lot." he said. "Whenever they meet, they've known each oth er before, in Tulsa or Timbuctoo." The dinner in honor of the Su preme Court was perhaps the most stately as well as the most ticklish, coming as it did right in the midst of the controversy over the Harry Dexter White case. Three leading personalities in the controversy. Att. Gen. Herbert Brownell. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover and Su preme Court Justice Tom C. Clark, svere present. It was said after- ( wards that no one talked shop. It was different at the thrice Tostponed congressional reception, [t came in the middle of the Mc 7prthy-Army controversy, and 1 hat's about all anyone talked '? ibout.

If "Mileage Maker III" outperforms his present car, I.ane will use his '54 model. If not, he'll stick to last year's vehicle, which won an award in 1953 at Asheville as the best-constructed car in the A 1 A - " ? ? - race. Sam, who will be a sophomore at Waynes ville High in September, is one of six boys in this area now building racers for the Soap Box event on July 12. His father, Sam. Sr., praised the Waynesville Jaycees' sponsorship of the race, commenting. "This program has done more to help Sam than anything else I know. It has taught him to do things right-?and they must be done just right. (Mountaineer Photo). rtuoui a per ceni 01 tne U.

For best plant-1 ig, Shelton and Murrell advise jeping the tractor at a steady 3Vfc iles per hour it takes a full 10- . aur day to cover a 10-acre field.

(GENE) A LLE Y, JR. | CANDIDATE FOR SOLICITOR h The Democratic Primary To Be Held May 29, 1954 TO THE VOTERS OF THE TWENTIETH JUDICIAL DISTRICT: | ? am a candidate for Solicitor of the Twentieth Judic ial District in the forthcoming Democratic primary. Since I made my announcement, J have visited on several occasions each of the sCven counties composing this Judicial District, and I am highly gratified and greatly encouraged by the cordial reception that has been accorded me in all the counties. The Soliritorship is one of the most important and honorable offices in our Government. To me, the Court Room, next to the Church, is, as it should be. the most saer?d plsce of public assemble: for II is in the Tcmnle of Justice that we erring mortals strive to emulate the Almighty, the Just and Righteous Judge, in the admini stration of justice between the State and the aceused in criminal prosecutions and between man and man in civil cases. Fmm the earliest times. It was recognised bv the common lose that In all criminal nrosecntlons the accused was entitled to a sneedv trial, and that rlrht has been made secure by the Federal Constitution and hv the Constitution of our own State. Of course, the State has the same rlrht. It has heen mv observation over a nerlod Of mere than thlrtv years that when criminal cases are indaCtnlletsr ttostnoned or peedlesslv rontinned from term to term, the raScs invarlahlv are nol crossed, with the Inevltohle rnneennence that enormous costs arc Im posed vmnn the counties In which the cases are ?end|ne. if T am to he Solicitor. T assure von that T W"IH trv all criminal eases with as little delay as nneslhte and, as pearly as nractloahle. In the order In which they reach the Unnerfor Conrt dockets Adherence to that nrsctlee Ohniasisfy will resntt |n the elimination of nnneeessary ---nee to the nnhtte and hnrdensome costs to the aO Cnsed. as welt ?s the eoneesttnn uncertainty and eon ftlsl-r mhlrh otherwise nrllt er 1st Fvery person accused of prime is entitled to a pnhlle trial. Today, without exception, everv State in the Cnlon b> constitution, statute or judicial decision requires ?ha? Jjl criminal trials be openly and publicly rondneted ybile the law looks with favor upon Ihe compromise of civil actions. It not only frowns unon but rondemnx the cntnnromise of criminal cases. There is only one plaoe in which a criminal case can be lawfully disposed of. and that la In open court before the Judge, the jury and the Public. That course and that course alone will compel the ??Mieet of the pnhlir for the courts and for the law it y'lf. The clandestine compromise of criminal case*, with out an open and public hearing, not only Is unlawful hot 't brings both the courts and the law Into disrespect and I disrenote. _ 1 In my opinion, the Just administration and enfurre- J "joul of the law constitute the most important function Government. I, therefore, believe that violation* of M ^ be law should be diligently prosecuted, but 1 am canal- MA Vflne In the belief that no person should he modo to MS ??Wer until his guilt has heen admitted or clearly eatah-? Jished by competent evidence, to the satlsfaetlon ,wpIwo good and lawful men, In strict accordance wMH I yttled rules of procedurf It is the duty of the Solicitor to prosecute all crim inal cases. As prosecutive attorney, he should be guided by his analysis of the truth or falsity of evidence as he finds it. His business is to ferret out the truth and to be guided by that truth wherever it may point. As the attor ney for the people, he should, at all times, be mindful of the rights of citizens and zealous in his protection of those rights. He must view each case in the light of sub stantial Justice and. although he may stand alone in his convictions, if he cannot do his duty as he sees it and without regard to consequences, he is not worthy of his job. He takes an oath to uphold the Constitution of this Country, of this State, and all laws made pursuant there to, and any other stand places him in a position of be trayal of his trust. Ry way of illustration, when it is admitted, or the State's evidence shows, that a killing has been committed with a nistol or other deadly weanon. the Solicitor is re quired to submit to the grand Jury a bill charging murder ?not manslaughter. In Such a case It never Is nermis sable. nroner or lawful for the Solicitor to send a bill charring manslaughter merely. I rive you my solemn assurance that, in all eases of homicide, when the evi dence available to me, as Solicitor, tends to establish a ra?e of nremedltsted and deliberate murder, I will sub* mlt to the grand .lurv a hill charring murder ?nd not niansisnrhter. and to the best of my ability. I will nrose cnte the nernetrator for murder ?nd not for manslaughter. If. In ?neh a case, there be suffieient provocation to rob the eelme of malice and tbns rednce It to manslaughter, or wbleh will evense It attos>e?Her on the rronnds at self, defense or evensable homlelde. the law casta noon the defendant the hwrden at showing those faets to the satia faetion of the l??ry. and I will emeet Mm and Ms connacl to assume and satisfy that burden, without aid or as Slit**"* fmtn wf.
