Onslow Bear Story

in his tall bear tale contest with
Earle Doucette, publicity man for
the state of Maine.
Sharpe's latest entry in the feud,
which resulted from Shapes as
sertion that he could tell better
and bigger-yarns about North
Cardinals bears than Doucette
could fabricate about Names, fol-
lows:
"a chap at a hunting camp in
Onslow county tried to interest his
mates in a night bear hunt. They
refused, saying the animals were
too big and tough. So, he went
alone.
He soon encountered the big
gest bear he'd ever seen. He shot,
but the bullet just bounced off the
bears hide, and the animal charg-
ed him. He fled into and through
the tent, yelling: Here's the first
one, boys, Skin him! I'm going
back for another"

Surplus Property Broker
May Face Contempt
Proceedings

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14-U.H-
Amid threats to institute contempt
proceedings against him, Benja-
min F. Fields, ex-convict and sur
plus property broker, ignored three
demands by a house investigating
committee Wednesday for certain
records of his transactions.
When he appeared empty-handed
for the third time at 4 p. m. (EST),
the committee dismissed him until
Thursday. No action was taken
against him, despite an earlier an
nouacement by Chairman Roger C.
Slaughter, D.-Mo.) that contempt
proceedings might be started I'M
less the records were produced at
that hour.
AS he was dismissed, the pudgy
witness, who had ignored two
earlier requests for his records
the first at 10 a. m. and the sec
ond at 2 p. m.-turned to Slaugh-
ter and asked:
And how about the contempt
proceedings?"
'.All I can tell you is that we
will have to have you here Thurs
day morning at 10 o'clock" the
chairman retorted.
The committee sought the rec
ords in order to settle an issue
involving a 81, 900 fee for sale OF
wire screen which, Fields spit with
three associates. Fields original
memorandum on the trans action,
which the committee refused to &C
cent as a complete record, showed
that one-third of the fee went to

The appointment of three White House politi-

A Thought For Today
Extending the Appeal Hearings

Certainly some immediate constructive action should
follow the plea of local citizens that the Feb goth deadne
for hearing appeals before the Board of Tax Review be
extended until sufficient time has been afforded all appel
lants. Such plea is hardly dsproporonate to the reason
The deadine of next Wednesday was established by
State Statute some years back not only Waterbury but
all like municipalities in Connecticut At the time of its
creation this written with eye to the poss
bity of such abnormal situation conronts
city, Since its creation and up to the present the period
Of 20 forth by the state law has proven ample in
but few instances.
Now as stated, the situation is radically changed. A
property retaliation program has resulted in 400 appeals
being filed from its findings by almost similar number OF
property owners three Board of Tax Review which
must conduct each individual hearing board is desper-
atey trying to provide fair length OF time for each appel
liant and yet crowd the 400 appeals into the twenty day
period 1t is almost humanity impossible on the surface and
should all appellants actually appear for hearings then the
matter will prove to be humanity impossible.
1t has been said that these appellants represent minor
fly insofar the approximately $4,000 total number OF prop
erty owners involved That is true numerically, but
mnortes must have representation according to the unda
mental standards of democracy In this it is not
a numerical factor that involved in the actual determine
ton of the plea for the extension rather it the factor OF
owners rights property which again impresses upon
the need for consistent adherence to the democratic fun
damentals.
These people must be given full opportunity to present
their personal appeals the board If the law inadequate
the demand legal bypass of that law should be
effected In this instance has been pointed out that the
board could extend its hearing time and have the extended
time validated by action of the General Assembly in special
session, which seems almost certain to take place.
Perhaps state representatives from Waterbury
within the next week. could poll the majority of their
cate soons to determine what would be given
to vote validating such action If such determination is
possible then the board could and would feel free to extend
the time.
An objective view Of the current situation shows that
these people in danger of being penazed by law.
which to the least is cockeyed situation Let us be
prepared should the need exist set motion without de-
lay the machinery necessary offset any obstacles
fronting the rights of these people.
