Police Radio System Helps
Apprehend Two Marines
Speed of the county's police ra
dio system brought apprehension
of two men who Monday night
ran a car through the closed gates
at the Fort Macon State Park
swimming area.
The men, Albert C. Charles and
Norris R. Allen. Cherry Point Ma
fines, were charged with destruc
tion of state property and were
released under $350 and $150 bond
respectively. Sheriff Hugh Salter
said yesterday.
Sheriff Salter said that Daniel
Jones, park superintendent, radi
oed him about 10:30 Monday night
to report that two men had crash
ed the Kate. He gave the sheriff
their license number and report
ed that a headlight on the car, a
1946 Ford coupe, was smashed.
The sheriff and three deputies,
Marshall Ayscue, Ormsby Mann
and Bobby Bell, went to the State
Park and from there radioed More
head City police to be on the look
out for the car. Morehcad City of
ficers stopped Charles and Allen
at highway 70 as they came north

Judge Rules Against Track
(Continued from Page 1)
to object to almost every item in
the answer. In moat instances his
objections were overruled.
A squat, heavy-set man. Mr. Ay
cock came into the limelight sev
eral months ago when he pushed
through cases that have put the
Currituck dog track out of busi
ness.
Mr. Aycock attacked the lease
for the track grounds. He said the
track, by law, ia to be located on
ground "leased or owned by More
head City." He said that the Caro
lina Racing Commission owned the
ground.
Mr. McNeill told the court that
the ground was owned by the asso
ciation. but leased to Morehead
City for 10 years at a dollar per
year. In turn the town re-leased
the property to the association for
10 years at a dollar a year.
Mr. Aycock retorted that the
leases nullified each otfyer and
cited a supreme court decision in
aupport of his contention.
Attempting to prove the legal
ity of track operation, Mr. Dawson
said the aasociation is acting under
| a legislative act that created the
Morehead City Racing Commission
The commission in turn granted a
franchise allowing the association
to build, operate, and maintain a
dog track.
The track ia being run, lawfully,
orderly, and in no way constitutes
a nuisance by being illegal, said
. Mr. Dawson.
Mr. Aycock denied attacking the
legality of the act. He charged, as
outlined by the plain till, that at
lowing illegal gambling constituted
a nuisance.
Mr. Dawson answered these
charges by saying that the track
operates under the pari-mutuel sys
tem provided for by North Caro
lina statute.
Mr. Dawson said $169,750 has
been paid to Morehead City from
1848 to 1953 as per the franchise
agreement with the Morehead City
Racing Commission.
He pointed out that the track
employs about 106 persons, of
which 84 were residents of Car
teret County. Expenses for the
1953 season were $107,000 which
was largely expended in the area
around Morehead City. He said
that Morehead City and surround
ing areas are greatly benefited by
the expenditure of such a sum.
He added that the plaintiff's
complaint violated the United
States Constitution, in that it *ould
deprive the association of property
without due process of Isw.
Mr. Aycock told Judge Williams
that in the Carteret County act
there is no regulation of the rac
ing commisaion.
He pointed out that there is no
way to get rid of the track. It was
voted in, but there was no way set
up In the act that provides for its
removal.
This, said Mr. Aycock. consti
tutes a monopoly aa much as the
Currituck act did when it gave one
person the right to operate a track
for 25 years.
Mr. Lucas, Wilson, representing
the track, said in rebuttal that
there was no monopoly in the Car
teret County act as it gave, "per
son, parsons, lira, or otbara" the
right to buiid. operate, and main
tain a racing track.
Mr. Aycock quoted at length
from the decision of Supreme
Court Justice Bobbin outlawing the
Currituck track. Mr. Lucas replied
and that concluded the arguments.
The time was 5:25 p.m.
After a lengthy pause (n which
Judge Williams studied the Su
preme Court decision, he handed
down his decision in a tone that
caused many spectators to aak what
he said.
Association attorneys then asked
for a conference on a restraining
order until they can appeal.
After court was recessed for the
day Judge Williams told a group
of attorneys that if the General As
sembly had made the act state-wide
and had. in the case of the Curri
tuck and Clrteret County acts pro
vided a method of removal, he
could have declared the act consti
tutional.
Mr. Taylor, who instituted the
action, said yesterday that he felt
the people of the county "have
been done a great service." He
added that a very small group may
be hurt by being denied the wages
they would get if they worked at
the trark this summer but other
than that, the county aa a whole
would benefit.
George Dill, mayor of Morehead
City which benefited financially
from track operation, aaid yester
day, "While it wa* helpful to have
unbudgeted funds (amount paid to
(he (own after the year's budget
had been adopted and the track
cloaed for the season), Morehead
City's economy was not so closely
geared to these funds that we can
not livo without tbem."
Two Boys Get
12-18 Months
For Pig Thefts
J. D. Arnold Jr. and Alton Wad
dell, both of Newport, were sen
tenced to 12 to 18 months on the
roads in Superior Court Thursday
for stealing hogs.
In addition to the sentence
meted out yesterday, Waddell must
serve the two-year suspended sen
tence for larceny.
Waddell and Arnold were
charged with stealing two hogs
Sept. 12 from Otto l^eeuenberg's
hog lot on highway 24 Arnold pled
guilty to the charge, but Waddell
said he was not guilty.
The case was heard Tuesday
afternoon. But it wasn't until 5:30
p.m. that Waddell finally admitted
he was guilty. The boys were sen
tenced yesterday.
Arnold told the court "that he
and Waddell and another boy, Don
Asheland, were riding in Ashe
land's car the night of the theft
and he fell asleep. He said he
work up when the hogs were al
ready in the car.
The three then drove to Wad
dell's home where the hogs escaped
and had to be recaptured. Arnold
said that he had fallen asleep again,
between the time he first woke
until the car stopped at Waddell's
home.
Arnold explained that the car
was driven to New Bern to the
New Bern Provision Co. where the
hogs were sold. He said Waddell
went in the offiee, got the check,
and had it cashed. He said he did
not receive any money.
Waddell maintained that he was
in Virginia at the time of the al
leged theft, but admitted that he
was involved in a similar theft in
1953. He told the court that he
did not sign the check for the hogs
even though the check and a sam
ple of his handwriting were pre
sented to the court. He also de
nied being along on the trip to the
hog lot.
William A. Smith, caretaker of
the hog lot, said he noticed the
theft the next morning by seeing
the trail left when the hogs were
dragged to the fence near the high
way. He then called Sheriff Hugh
'Sfelter.
Waddell contended that he was
in Virginia and had been there for
about 10 or 11 months until last
Thursday when he was apprehend
ed in Wilson.
Waddell, Arnold, and Asheland
I cleaned out Asheland's car the day
I after the theft at the Arnold home,
Mrs. J. D. Arnold testified.
In face of evidence piling up
against him Waddell changed his
plea to guilty. Then Mrs. John
[Waddell told the court that Alton
I brought the hogs home and said
Mr. Smith gave them to him.
Waddell and his brother John
Ray are also facing a series of
charges in Onslow and Craven
Counties. John Ray is being held
in jail at New Bern.

in 1950 on the required depths for
the channel and turning basin. Avi
ation Fuel Terminals was not in

Congressman Graham A. Bar
den who has been in contact with

on harbor requirements will go to
Congress this year and appropria
tions will be included in next year's
bill.

ommending a bar channel of 35
foot depth and an inside channel
and enlarged basin of 34 feet. Cost
of dredging to those depths was
estimated at $1,127,000 plus $10,000
