Buckley Driving Case
Ordered Sent Back
To Police Court
Appeals Bench Rules
Error in Sustaining
Double Jeopardy PIeo

The driving while drunk case
against Attorney M. Edward
Buckley, jr., was sent back to
Police Court today when the
United States Court of Appeals
decided that Police Court Judge
Hobart Newman had erred in
sustaining a plea of double
jeopardy.
The Court OF Appeals, which re-
viewed the case at the request of
the District government. directed
that Judge Newman's order sustain
ing Mr.. Buckley's plea OF double
jeopardy be set aside and remand
ed the case to Police Court for
further proceedings not inconsist-
ent with this opinion"
The opinion was written by As
sociate Justice. Harold NJ Stephens
who heard the case with Chief JUS
tice D. Lawrence Groner and As
sociate Justice Wiley Rutledge.
Original Charge.
The original driving while drunk
charge was preferred against the
lawyer In July, 1910. The charge
was nolle pressed in October. 1910
Then. in January, l94l. a charge Of
driving on the wrong side Of the
street was placed against Mr.. Buck
ley instead. to which he pleaded
guilty and paid fine.
Judge George .. Nelson of Police
Court ordered the case reopened
on the driving-vhile- drunk charge.
but Judge Newman reversed the
ruling on a plea of former or double
jeopardy which automatically ruled
out trial on the reopened charge
unless court higher than Police
Court ruled otherwise, which the
Court of Appeals did today.
Mr.. Buckley, In his plea of double
jeopardy, had maintained the driv-
ing g-while drunk charge had been
disposed of in the charge OF driving
on the wrong side Of the street.
LII tilC Sohi &c VI At~o oHAAiAoAi' INV
ever, the court said today that the
definition of offenses is for the legis-
lative authority and the determina-
ton of whether and when to prose-
cute for more than one growing out
of the same transaction is a mat
ter of policy for the prosecuting
once and not for the determination
OF the courts.
Danger to Public.
Moreover, the court added. while
under some circumstances it might
be unfair to prosecute for more
than one offense, under others the
danger 70 the public from the con-
duct OF an offender might be such
as well to warrant his prosecution
for all offenses committed"
The court stated there was in
sufficient evidence to warrant a con-
clusion as to whether the action

was fair or unfair even If we had
authority" to reach a conclusion.

70 Pct. Rise Indicated
In Sugar Beet Acreage

Increased supplies of sugar from
beets were predicted today by the
United States Beet Sugar Associa-
ton on the basis of an Agriculture
Department survey OF planting in
tentionS.
The increase may be regarded as
the farmers response to the need
for greater production to meet war
time requirements of the Nation. the
association said 1t was estimated
that sugar beets will be harvested
from about GOT 900 acres this year.
as compared with $4,000 in l94l.
Consumption of beet sugar this
year is expected to reach $500, 900 900
pounds.

Well, fellows, here | am again
A.. few days ago, we happened To
oyerhear conversation between
two Little Rock ladies, They told
of how their church had planned
dinner for the camp soldiers,
and hardly a third of soldiers plan
red fer had come.
1t is quite possible that many OF
them had not heard about the
event, but it is up to us to learn
of Little Rock activities, attehd
the various events planned for US.
The incident we mention did not
occur recently, at least not since
the engineer organization has been
in camp. And we mdst not allow
the same ircident to happen while
we arc here.
Next Sunday, October Is, Mt.
Zion is planning a large dinner for
US soldiers. If it is necessary,
let's even break our dates to at
tend and show our appreciation
We must not let TIE towntcik OF
Little Rock down.
The civilians are very greatly IN
terested in the soldiers welfare
and they are doing many things
to help US along. To realize this
fact YOU need only listen to some
of their discussions along this line.
And we, on the other hand, must
show them too that we appreciate
