Two Soldiers Are Fined Here In 'Dead Man's Curve' Wreck Two soldiers were convicted on several traffic violations in Re corder’s Court Tuesday as a re sult of offenses that climaxed with a wreck on “dead man’s curve’’ on the old Durham Road Saturday afternoon. The pair — en route from Ft. Benning, Ga., to new stations at Ft. Campbell, Ky.,—were stopped in Wake County early Saturday for passing on a hill. Cpl. Orma Ford McRae, 23, was taken to the Cary police station along with his companion, Cpl. David Valdez, for booking on this charge. They apparently slipped away Jrom the station before the cita; tion was completed, and an alarm was sent out over the highway Patrol radio network for them. Highway Patrolman E. S.

Nei ther of the occupants was hurt seriously, but the auto was de- njolished. Cpl. McRae was charged with careless and reckless driving, speeding 90 miles an hour, and failing to stop for a siren.

On the basis of Patrol man Robinson’s testimony McRae was fined $200 and costs and Val dez, costs. Referring to recent resolutions introduced in the Senate to re move Senator McCarthy as com mittee chairman. Senator Ervig said: “Most of the Democrats in the Senate feel that under the Senate rules the question of the continuance of Senator McCarthy in the chairmanship is a matter for the Republican Senators. I cannot find any gi-eat quarrel with this thought. Against Altering Rules “To alter the Senate rules in this particular case would be a- bout as wise as using an atom bomb to get rid of a mouse,” he continued. Predicting a natural solution to the issue, Senator Ervin said: “If the Democrats achieve a ma.iority, they will take advantage of the Senate rules to reorganize the Sen ate and appoint a Democrat as chairman in the place of Senator McCarthy.” Mentioning that some Senatorial colleagues have suggested expel ling the Wisconsin senator from Senate membership. Senator Er vin said: “It would be a serious blow to Constitutional government in the United States to expel a Senator from membership in the Senate ,no matter how greatly the other members of the Senate might deplore his tactics or his views. Matter For Wisconsin “The question of retaining or removing Senator McCarthy from Senate membership is, in my judg ment, a matter for decision by the people who elected him, namely the people of Wisconsin.” Senator Ervin commented on the committee hearings: “I do not believe that any Senate Commit tee should be allowed to make in vestigations into subversive activ ities unless at least a quorum of the members of the Committee are present.” tion militarily prepared. “The ul timate security for the United States in this very insecure world is dependent upon our observance of Oliver Cromvvell’s admonition to trust in the Lord and keep our powder dry,” he said.

He said that Orange County expects to have many more irrigation units in operation next year. “For several years you have suffered severe losses because of drought conditions. During these dry years several farmers through out the state, as well as the To bacco Experiment Station at Ox ford, have been trying out irriga tion. “For the past four years, the Experiment Station has irrigated tobacco and is showing a net in crease of between $250 and $300 per acre per year over the nbn- irrigated tobacco,” Barnes pointed out. Irrigation units vary in cost from less than $1,000 to several thousand, depending on the land and the farmer’s ingenuity. Big gest problem now regarding use of irrigation is the cost.
