ASC office manager, this week explained the rules re gaining the eligibility of men for service on ASC county committees and community committees. Uis statement follows: There seems to be a bit of confu sion these days in the minds of ? majority of people, especially those directly affected, as to the proper interpretation of laws and regula tions governing the eligibility to hold office as county and communi ty committees. On June 19, 1954 revised regulations of the secretary pf Agriculture. Ezra Taft Benson, governing ASC County and Com munity Committees were published on the federal register, thereby, as prescribed by law, making them effective as of that date. Many major changes were brought about by the revised regu lations . We shall quote here only the one causing the confusion: "Any person who has served on the same committee during all or part of each of the three immediately J preceding terms of office of the committee, except as an alternate acting in the temporary absence of a regular committeeman, is ineli gible for election as a county or community committeeman." munity committeeman." No exceptions were noted in the case of community committeemen, but the regulations provided that in the event all three members of the county committee had for three years or parts of the three immediately preceding years the delegates to the 1954 county con ty convention were authorized to re-elect one of such committeemen to any position on the county com mittee. On August 19, 1954 the county ASC office was informed by the state ASC committee through Mr. H. D. Godfrey, state administrative officer, that proposed farm pro gram legislation contained a pro vision for eliminating the restric tion contained in these regulations and instructions against county committeemen continuing to serve for the next year where they had served during the last three years. We were told at that time that no proposal had been made to remove the three year restriction for com munity committeemen. On Sept. 2, 1954 we received from the state ASC office copies of revised regulations and instruc tions following the action of the congress in preventing the secre tary from restricting consecutive terms of officer1 of county qpmmit teemen to three years. The*tounty ASC office was requested to no tify all members of the county elec tion board that the county commit tee restriction had been removed. We quote here section 111, Com munity Committee Restriction: "No change has been made in the sec retary's regulations or election in structions regarding the ineligi bility to serve as a community com mittee of all persons who have served in such a capacity during any part of the last three years. The removal of the restrictions for county committeemen does 'not change this restriction on commun ity committeemen." To sum up the whole matter, un der the present laws and regula tions, county committees may serve more than three consecutive terms in office and community commit teemen may not serve more than three consecutive terms in office. Jaycees Discuss Fire Prevention Morehead City's Jaycees laid plans at their meeting Monday night for a program to be carried out during Fire Prevention Week. The Jaycees will place posters in the businesi houses in Morehead City, will have an inspection on fire haxarda and will sponsor an euay contest on (ire prevention It More head City High School. A demonstration by the More head City Fire Department will be given at the Morehead City Beaufort football game, Oct. 1, in connection with Fire Prevention Week. Plana for carrying out a state project on alcohol were given by the religioua activities committee. A report was heard on Morehead 'City's football game with Edenton Friday night along with a financial statement on the game. The Jay cees took a loss on the game, ac cording to J. O. Bennett, secretary. Due to the poor response on the United Fund project, the Jaycees decided to dispense with any fur ther plana on it. Guests at the meeting were Charles Cooper and L. E. Kelly, both of Morehead City. New York Policemen Arc Warned On Roughness New York (AP) ? The nation's largest city wanta no "Bullies" on Ita 18,000- man police force. Police Commissioner Francis W. H. Ad ams warned 200 trainees against as suming a "chesty" or "tough guy" attitude. CHItens, he said, will "oomply readily with your firm and good natured directions" but "as readily resent arbitrary and diacourteoua actions." Girls (Continued from Page 1) lanady, Memphis, Tenn., were charged with running a bawdy house, using prolan* language, dis turbing the peace, destroying per sonal property, and being a public nuisance. Landlord Testifies Leon Graham, who rented the house to the women in behalf of his brother in New Jersey, was the firot witness for the state. Mr Graham said he was under the impression that both of the girls were married when he rented the house. Miss Cottle, who lives next door to the girls' house and is of di minutive stature, only 3 feet tall, testified that "five, six, and sev en Marines would come at a time." She estimated that about 50 dif ferent Marines had been to the house in the two-month period in which the girls have been renting the house. She also said Mrs. Kelly had /un out into the road to stop cars on numerous occasions while attired only in night clothes. Miss Cottle exclaimed further that she had seen Mrs Kelly, whom she called "Frankie," go into an "outdoor bathroom" with a Marine. She said the girls claimed that all of the Marines were their hus bands. Attorney Hamilton questioned. "In other words, would you say the Marines had the situation well in hand?" Miss Cottle primly replied, "I should say so." Jesse Graham, who lives about 150 feet from the house in ques tion, stated he had seen a 1949 1 green Ford parked at the house when he went to bed and when he got up the next morning it would still be there. Tells 'em to Go He said he stood all of the noise he eould and finally went over and told the girls that they had to get out of the house immediately. A snickering court room crowd had to be called to order after he add ed, "And my wife stood on the back porch and watched me go over there." Raymond Graham, who lives about 600 feet across the road from the house, verified the statement made by the two witnesses be fore him. Jesse Graham's wife, Mary, said the girls wore bathing suits for the first week they were there and "even wore the bathing suits to Cherry Point." Mrs. Kelly, a small brunette haired girl, dressed in a faded green shirt and red slacks, took the stand and nervously told the judge that the Marines were friends of her husband and that her hustend 'brought all of them home. She said that most of the fights were a result of arguments with her husband. She said that she was first mar ried at the age of 14, and was married again when she was 16, to Pfc. Kelly after she had gotten a divorce. She explained she had gone as far as the sixth grade in school but her parents couldn't af ford to send her any farther. Worked as Waitress Mrs. Kelly, on the verge of tears, stated she had worked as a waitress for $18 a week before marrying Pfc. Kelly. She also exclaimed, "If we were running a bawdy house at least we'd be able to afford shoes." At one time during her testi mony she stated that if she "could get out of this mess" she'd go home and take care of her mother who is sick.. A few moments later she burst into tears and blurted out, "I want another chance with Dave (her husband). I've been thinking a lot about it in jail and I want another chance but I know he won't give me another one. He asked me for a divorce a couple of times but I told him I couldn't afford to pay for no divorce and he wanted me to pay for it." Her attorney Claud Wheatly, Beaufort, asked her if she were pregnant. She replied that she was. The other defendant, Peggy Can ady, denied that she had anything to do with the Marines while in the house and stuck to the same story as told by Mrs. Kelly. Attorney Wheatly asked her how long it would take her to get out of Carteret County if she were turned looee. She excitedly replied, "It"d take me 10 minutes. If I couldn't get somebody to carry me, I'd run." Judge Morris told the girls that he was ready to give them both one year in Women's Prison in Raleigh until he heard that Mrs. Kelly was pregnant. He said that It he didn't send Mrs. Kelly he couldn't send Miss Canady. He gave them a one-year sus pended sentence, placed them on three years' good behavior, and told them to get out of the coun ty. i On her way out of court Mrs. Kelly haughtily asked Solicitor Taylor, who had numerous papers and letters which he presented as evidence, "Could I have my mar riage license back now?" Mrs. Kelly and Miss Canady were escorted by county officers to a bus at Newport at 4:30 Tuesday af ternoon. They had tickets for Galax, Va.
