When the patrolman began to testify about the amount of dam age to the patrol car, Harvey Ham ilton, jr., attorney for the de fendanis, objected on the ground that damaging state property is ! not a crime. The warrants orig | inally had charged the two men J with damaging ?tate property. After a lengthy search of the 1 statute books and a discussion with Mr. Hamilton. Mr. Taylor agreed to withdraw the charge of damaging state property. He then substituted ! the malicious injury to personal property damage. Patrolman Jones then testified that damage to the patrol car had amounted to $140.43. Identifies Stokes Under cross examination by Mr. Hamilton, Patrolman Jones again said that Stokes had been the driver oi the car. He denied that he could have made a mistake. Patrolman Jones admitted that Harris, after his arrest, had claim ed to have been the driver of the car. Carl C. Churchill, ATU agent, said that he got out of the car and went up the road when he saw Harris' car approaching. He said that he signalled to Stokes to stop, but that the defendant paid no at tention to him. Mr. Churchill said that he definitely recognized Stokes as the driver of the car. The Federal agent said that he talked to the two defendants in the Craven county jail after they were arrested by the highway pa trol. At that time, he said, Stokes denied being in the car with Har ris. Mr. Churchill said, however, that Stokes later admitted that he was in the car but denied that he was the- driver. far A It i n <1 on i> <1 Mr. Churchill said that the car was found abandoned on a dirt road half-way between NC 24 and Stella. He said that he accom panied highway patrolmen and Swansboro police when they went to investigate a report that the car had been found. Mr. Churchill said that the right side of the car was damaged and that the left side had traces of paint from the rail of the bridge. C. I). Chambers, Craven county ABC officer, told the court sub stantially the same story as the other two officers. He testified that he had recognized Stokes as the driver of the car and said that he could not be mistaken. When the state had rested its case. Attorney Hamilton asked JLhaiihe warfants We amended toJ Ftfttrgll Harris with operating the I car and Stokes with aiding and abetting him. Judge Morris over- 1 ruled the motion. Swear Out Warrants Mr. Hamilton then had tjhe two defendants swear out warrants against each other and asked that j the cases be tried with the others. After a short recess while the warrants were prepared, Mr. Ham ilton put Stokes on the stand to testify against Harris. Stokes said I that he was a passenger in the car at the time of the accident. He said that they did not recognizc the car they hit as a patrol car. He said that Harris had been drinking and was afraid to stop after hitting the car. Mr. Hamilton then called Patrol man Jones and Mr. Churchill back to the witness stand. The two offi cers repeated their earlier testi ? uiAit r INEST IN THE FIELD ? DIXIE FINEST IN THE FIELD?

Veterans May Lose Insurance Veterans in the North Carolina Virginia-West Virginia area may lose nearly $900 million in lapsed GI term life insurance during 1953, unless they reinstate and re new those policies before the ex piration date of the policies. The Veterans administration an nounced that a sampling of district office records showed that many term National Service Life Insur ance policies issued to two groups of World War II and post-World War II veterans are lapsed. In the (ini group are 100.000 World War ]I veterans who took out policies while they were in service during the year 194.*). The second group includes 10.000 World War II and post World War II vet erans who took out term policies while they were in service during 1948. The first group policies had eight year terms to run. and the second group of policies had terms of five years. Both of them expire in 1953. Veterans administration figures show that in North Carolina ap proximately 64. (KM) veterans of both groups will lose about $512 million of insurance coverage if the poli cies are not reinstated this year. If veterans do not wish to lose completely the insurance coverage under these policies, they must re instate them before the policies ex pire. Otherwise, under the present law, the veterans will not be eligi ble for further GI life insurance. Policies may be reinstated by ap plying to any Veterans administra tion office. If tbr policy has been lapsed for three months, the vet eran must pasf a physical ?xamina tion. The payment of two monthly premiums is also required. mony that Stokes had been driving (he ear. Mr. Hamilton asked for lenieney for the two defendants before Judge Morris passed sentence on them. After the men were sen-* tenced, Mr. Hamilton served notice of appeal in the ease of Stokes. Stokes was released on $500 -bond. Judge Morris ruled malicious prosecution in the case .of the charges brought by the tw<* de fendants against each other and or dered the prosecuting witness to I pay court costs in each case. ! Mr. Hamilton asked that Judge Morris change the ruling in Har ris' case and find him not guilty of operating the car. Judge Morris entered a not guilty verdict. Veteran court attaches said Uiat they had never seen a similar clatt in the county cflurt. They haji rtever heard of two defendants ofl tainlng warrants against each other during a trial. Judge Morris said that he heard of it being done but had never seen it happen. Three Tankers Launched Tokyo (AP) ?

Beach (Continued from Page 1) thai the total valuation of property and buildings on Atlantic Beach is approximately $600,000. With the $9,000 received from this source plus funds from the state, the pro posed budget had an annual outlay of $14,200 for year-round police protection, improved garbage and sand removal facilities and a grad ual program of street paving. Mr. White pointed out to the board members that the town could think seriously of extending its limits once it was on a firm basis and could "offer some positive services" to other residential areas on the beach. "Most of the problems at the beach are caused by the busi nesses." Miss Tunstall said, "and the business firms should pay the bill for police protection and other items." Mr. Baker suggested ihat there would be no need of a tax if there were no businesses and pro posed that the board create "so many restrictions most of them will have to leave." Mr. Taylor suggested that the board take the proposal under ad visement and work out a method whereby all the beach property owners would vote on the question. Attending the meeting was George Ball, Raleigh realtor, who pointed out to the members that under an ad valorem tax he would be paying $3 a year more than under the as sessment system on his beach prop erty. After lengthy debate, it was clearly seen that the board had reached an impasse and the motion died without a second. The meet ing was held in the home of Mr. Taylor. Other Actions Earlier in the meeting, the board approved a letter to be sent to each property owner informing them of the town's off-the-street parking regulation the establishment of a house numbering system, and cer tain garbage regulations. The pur chase of nine street markers was also approved. The board ordered its attorney, Harvey Hamilton, jr., to draw up an ordinance restricting the con sumption of beer to the building in which it was purchased. This ordi nance will be voted on at the next meeting. The aldermen also voted to force every business establish ment serving food or beer to in stall toilet facilities which will pass state board of health inspections.

The warn ing was based on a bulletin from the National Better Business bur- , eau. Among the practices which Mr. DuBois cited was the contract which commits the customer to pur chase expensive frames for picture; which are sold at reasonable or bargain rates. Other practices which the bulle tin mentions are so-called "model albums" and "free introductory offers" which often end up in ex pensive orders. Mr DuBois said that anyone victimized by such studios should report the matter at once. He said "Only by reporting these practices can the public protect itself from such operators."
