Docket for Term Is Great

A very heavy docket, and one that
most likely will not be cleared dur
ing the week awaits the June term Of
Vance Superior Court for trial of
criminal cases, which convenes here
next Monday. Judge Henry A. Grady,
of Clinton will preside.
Clerk of Superior Court E. O. Falk-

of less serious charges await hearing
and disposition, involving quite 4
number of defendants
Judge Grady has held all courts in
Vance county this year so far. 1t so
happens that in the first six months
of the year Vance has three terms of
court, all of them for trial of criminal
cases, and in two Of them-March and
June-With an extra week for civil
matters. BY agreement between cOun-
sci. however, there will be no civil
term in June, although it is under
stood time out will be taken during

LANGSTON TO STAY
AS HEAD OF POLICE
Indications Are Aldermen
Will Get Around Recon-
mendation of Mayor

Police Chief J. H. LangSton, whose
removal Mayor Henry Il. Powell :'e-
commended to the City Council when
he took the oath of office and began
his duties last Monday, will probably
stay in his present position for an
other term Indications today were
that the City Council, which did not
change as the result of the recent
municipal election, would ignore the
mayors recommendation with respect
to the chief of police.
How far this insurgency may ex-
tend in other city affairs there was
no way today of knowing. Some mem
bers of the Council have expressed
the belief that the chief would not
be removed, however.
While Mayor Powell was successful
in his campaign against Mayor Irvine
B. Watkins, he took no new members
of the Council with him into office.
The Council today is exactly as it was
last year when the now retired mayor
usually got what he wanted through
the aldermanic body. The new mayor
counts on a harmonious team work
ing for the best interests of the city.
But if the aldermen desire to con-
tinue policies of other years, they can
quite easily tie the mayors hands.
In his speech to the Council imne-
diately after taking his oath, Mayor
Powell among other things. recon-
mended the removal of Chief Lang
ston Gin the interest of efficiency and
better law enforcement"
