Congressman Says Beaufort
i
Project Near to Realization
By telegram, Congressman Gra
ham A. Barden notified people in
this area Saturday that the Army
Corps of Engineers has included
Taylor's Creek, Beaufort, in its
tentative list of projects to be un
dertaken starting July 1.
A report from Washington states
that the House Appropriations com
mittee on Friday appropriated
$83,000 for the project. Plans call
for widening and deepening the
creek.
Congressman Barden said in a
telegram to Akah Hamilton, More
head City, "Hope the dredge will
be at work before end of year."
01 her "small projects" okayed
la.st week by the appropriations
committee were Rollison Channel.
Hattcras harbor, $175,000 and
$120,000 for the Pasquotank River
flood control projcct near Dismal
Swamp.
Taylor's Creek runs along Beau
fort waterfront and is used by men
haden boats, shrimp boats and
pleasure craft. During recent
years heavily - loaded menhaden
boats have run aground in the
creek on their way to Beaufort
Fisheries. They'd have to wait 'til
high tide before they could pro
ceed.
Beaufort Fisheries for several
years has been seeking approba
tions for the project and last
month telegrams were sent from
Beaufort citizens to Washington,
urging the inclusion of the Tay
lor's Creek project in forthcom
ing appropriations. Congressman
Barden was instrumental in push
ing the project through.
B. L. Goodwin
Named Foreman
Of Grand Jury
Bruce L. Goodwin, Morchead
City, was named foreman of the
grand jury when Superior Court
convened yesterday morning. Pre
siding at the two-week session is
Judge Walter J. Bone.
Judge Bone told the grand jury
that it was their duty to act on the
bills of indictment presented to
them by the solicitor.
The judge explained that jurors
were to discern whether there was
sufficient evidence* presented to
them to hold the indicted persons
for trial. If the jurors thought
there was sufficient evidence, it
was their duty to return a true
bill, and in the event that there
was insufficient evidence the grand
jurors were to state that there was
no true bill.
Judge Bone explained to the jur
ors concerning felonies and mis
demeanors and also described cap
ital and non-capital crimes.
Though there were 18 men on
the panel, a vote in the affirma
tive by only 12 of them would be
sufficient to return a true bill, the
judge said.
In concluding his charge to the
jurors. Judge Bone said there were
only three inspections that they
had to make. These included the
county jail, county home and
county workhouse, which means
that in this county the only in
spection they have to make is of
the county jail. There is no home
or workhouse.
As to other county agencies,
they have the right to inspect but
it is not compulsory.
Capt. Charlie Thomas was sworn
in as guard of the grand jury.
Jurors are Clarence Gray, H. D.
Willis, Theodore R. Rice, Winfield
Fulcher, William Fodrie, Chester

Salter, James E. Howard, Gordon

Four accidcnts were investigated
within the past few days by the
Morehead City Police Department.
At 5:05 p.m. Sunday a 1951 Ford
driven by Joyce M. Willis, 1510
Arendell St., ran into the rear of
a 1949 Ford driven by Madie D.
Dean. Kcnansvillc, on the Atlantic
Beach Bridge.
Patrolman Joe Smith, who inves
tigated, estimated damage to the
Dean car at $75.
Capt. Buck Newsome of the
Morehead City police force said
traffic to the beach over the week
end "was the heaviest it's ever
been." Four Morehead City offi
cios were assigned to handle the
heavy flow of cars.
Two accidents occurred Friday.
At 16th and Evans a car driven by
William A. Gilmore, Country Club
Road, had stopped for another car
to make a turn, when a 1950 Chev
rolet driven by James P. Edwards,
2702 Homes Dr., ran into the rear
of him. Bumper and grill of the
Chevrolet were damaged.
Between 9th and 10th Streets on
Shepard Friday a White's Dairy
truck driven by Lennis O. Brinson,
909 Fisher St., Morehead City,
backed into a parked car. The
truck was backing out of an alley.

1 50 Optometrists, Wives
Attend Convention Here
One hundred fifty optometrist*
and Uieir wives are hero attending
the annual meeting of the North
Carolina Optometric Society. Head
quarters for the convention is the
Atlantic Beach Hotel.
Arrangements for the meeting
were itiade by Dr. Russell Outlaw,
MoreheM City, assisted by Dr.
David Farrior, Beaufort.
? Hardly a service station in this
area has failed to reduce price of
regular gasoline to 25.9 cents per
gallon.
Rumblings of a price war started
in February when service stations
west of Morehead City claimed
they had to cut prices to meet
competition "out the highway" to
ward Mansfield.
At that time, price on regular
gas was dropped to 26.9. Present
price is a cent less. High test lias
dropped from a February price of
32 cents a gallon to 28.9.
Gas station operators are upset,
naturally. They say that at this
time of year, when they ought to
be making money they're making
just "half of what we should."
One of the major dealers has
dropped prices at all stations from
Havelock and Swansboro to Atlan
tic. Other cut prices are confined
mainly to the Morehead City area.
Motorists in Beaufort, hood
winked into buying gas over the
weekend at places where the signs
read "10.9 cents plus tax," realize
how much tax they're paying, be
cause the service station operator
then collected 26.9 cents per gallon!
Service station operators are
hoping the present price will hold,
but nobody is willing to make any
predictions.

type of work you have done best
exemplifies the spirit which makes
amateur radio a valuable asset to

For Second Degree Murder
- "Operation Alert 1955" is the
name of the mock nuelear attack
which will take place against 50 of
92 critical target cities in the
United States tomorrow and Thurs
day.
Although the attacks are to come
in the three industrial sections of
the country, the northeast, middle
west and Pacific coast. North Caro
lina has been designated as a
source of aid "in a support role."
Gen. Edward Griffin, state civil
defense administrator, said, "No
section of tht1 state can afford to
feel that it will not be affected by
the detection of unidentified planes
over continental United States.
When that happens, every com
munity falls into one of two cate
gories . . . subject to evacuation,
or subject to caring for those who
have been evacuated until it is con
sidered safe for people to go back
into the cities."
Carteret is in an area of the
state to which evacuees would be
sent. In case of actual attack here,
In the absence of the county
civil defense director Thursday,
all messages relative to the alert
should be submitted to Lynn
Stoller, 63188 or 2-8071. Mr.
Stoller is civil defense commun
ications chairman for the county.
local residents! would have to de
pend upon their own resources un
til help from outside eame. Miss
Ruth Peeling, county civil defense
director, said. That help would not
be forthcoming for perhaps three
or four days.
On Alert
Civil defense authorities request
all local fire and police depart
ments to be on the alert during the
26-hour test period from 11 a.m.
tomorrow until 1 p.m. Thursday.
Short wave radio operators in this
?ica are asked to man their sets so
i that information from other tac
tions of the state and nation can
be received and passed on to civil
defense authorities if necessary.
Should a large number of evac
uees b< assigned to this area, which
is not contemplated in the coming
alert, homeowners would be re
quested to provide shelter for
them after all the available public
buildings were used, Miss Peeling
said.
She especially urged homeown
ers to check food supplies and
stored water. Should people be
sent in here, local residents may be
asked to help feed them as well as
their own families.
l onelract imporiani
The radio network over which
official civil defense information
will be relayed is Conelrad. In this
area such information can be re
ceived at the dial setting 640. Un
der Conelrad, only 32 stations are
on the air" and at greatly reduced
power, therefore they can be heard
in only limited areas. The infor
mation in this area will come from
Wilmington, according to Lynn
Stoller, civil defense communica
tions chairman for this county.
Civil defense information will
not be broadcast constantly, there
fore if some regular program is
heard at the 640 frequency, people
should not be dismayed. Official
information will be relayed only as
nccessary.

Jury Seated After Three
Hours' Questioning
Moody Lewis, Salter Path, charged with second degree
murder in the death of Mrs. Tressa DoJzer, went on trial
at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon in the Beaufort court
house. The trial is expected to continue throughout to

A jury was seated only after three hours of lawyers'
questioning. Defending Lewis are
Judge Luther Hamilton and his
son, Luther Jr. Prosecuting the
ease for the state is the solicitor of
this district, Robert Rouse Jr.
The first witness was Amos W.
Huffman, who testified that he
was parked near the Catholic
Chapel at Atlantic Beach where
the alleged murder took' place.
That was during the early morning
hours of Dec. 19, 1954. With him
was Mrs. Raymond Kinworthy, who
the witness said was employed by
him at the time.
Mr. Huffman said that he was
parked on the street beyond the
one where the alleged murder
took place and heard a loud blast.
When he went down toward the
shore and then came out on the
road where the body was, he said
that he saw a car, about a '46 -'48
model, a dark color, pulling out
of the road.
Body Discovered

body of the woman. He went im
mediately to the home of Con

Judge Resumes Discussion
Of Jewish-Arab Question
Judge Luther Hamilton resumed
the discussion of the Palestine
question involving the Jew and
Arab at the Morehead City Rotary
, Club meeting Thursday night at
[ Fleming's Restaurant.
He presented the story from the
standpoint of the Arab. He point
ed out that, from the beginning of
the First World War, the Allied
Nations made all sorts of Induce
ments to win support of both the
Arab and the Jew in the Middle
East.
He made particular reference to
the Balfour Declaration of 1917,
representing accord between the
Jew and the Arab, on the one hand,
and England and her Allies on the
other. He referred to the declara
tion as a "classic of ambiguity" be
cause it could be given different
construction by both sides.
Nevertheless, under the assur
ances given, the Arab world joined
the Allies as did the Jews there.
He reminded the club that at the
close of the war the Arabs gained
their freedom from Turkey as had
been promised, and the Jew, not
having a country of Ms own, was
given hope for a future home in
Palestine.
Under the old League of Nations,
the land was mandated to England
and that country continued the
mandate until 1947, when the
| United Nations ordered a partition.
The Jews agreed to th* partition
but the Arabs refused and there
after, in 1948, war broke out be
tween the two sides, and the Jews,
though greatly inferior in numbers,
drove back the Arabs and then ex
tended their lines to include the
Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea,

and control of the River Jordan,
the only worthwhile river in Pales
tine.
Judge Hamilton said that the
contention of the Arab was and is
that in the partition most of the
lands, including the better parts,
were awarded to the Jews and, as
a result of the war, the Jews ap
propriated to their own use all of
the property that formerly belong
ed to the Arabs. Arabs claim the
Jews are still controlling or trying
to control the water courses and
other natural resources.
The ^rab contends that he had
contributed a great deal more to
the winning of both the First and
Second World Wars than had the
Jew and feels that he has not been
given the consideration to which
he is entitled.
Judge Hamilton said all of th*
influential Arabs he had oppor
tunity to talk with expressed their
determination to win their claims,
even at the expense of war. He
believes that at the present time
there is more danger of war aris
ing in that particular section than
anywhere else in the world.

Of Boat; Firemen Use
Resuscitator, Save Him
Mike Harper, Sanford, narrowly
escaped drowning Sunday when he
i fell from a partyboat into the

the boat but was miraculously
pulled aboard again and given ar

to Morehead City Hospital and dis
charged yesterday.
The Jaycees were aboard Capt.

Weather was extremely rough over
the weekend and fishing was at a
standstill, but several of the men
from Sanford insisted that they
wanted to go out Sunday.
So Captain Harkcr took them
out to the cape. Two waves in
quick succession caught the boat
and Harper toppled over the side.
As soon as he was pulled in, Cap
tain Harker radioed for help. His
wife. Mrs. Harkcr called the Beau
fort Fire Department for the re
suscitator.
That was about 12 minutes be
fore noon. Mrs. Harker said the
firemen not only responded quick
ly but got Dr Theodore Salter to
come to check on Harper.
Firemen arrived at Harkers
Lodge, where the Eleanor docks,
in 12 minutes. Harper seemed just
barely conscious. Engineer Elmond
Rhue started to use the resuscita
tor on him and in about a minute
he started to come to.
"I can't tell you how good that
made me feel," Mr. Rhue said yes
terday. After Harper was revived,
he was put in Fireman Wardell
Fillin^ame's car and rushed to the
Morehead City Hospital.
Firemen visited him there Sun
day night and Harper seemed per
fectly well and in good spirit.
Harper's wife was notified and
she came here. Harper was hos
pitalized as a precaution against
pneumonia. ,
