MAN PLEADS CASE
in OWN BEHALF
Solicitor Points Out Fact
Procedure Nothing New
To Family

The legal profession in North
Carolina probably has missed n
of it's most able barristers because
F. A. Golf, 729 N. Bird ST., never
studitd law, some local attorneys
agree.
Golf, appearing in New Hanover
county Superior Court late yester-
day afternoon on a charge Of reck-
less driving, chose to stand trial
and plead his own case.
The charge was the outgrowth OF
a collision between his car and one
being occupied by Ollie Dye and
Andrew F. Caps on the Carolina
Beach highway last Aug. 20.
The defendant examined the de-
tense witnesses in a manner which,
while not truly in the Blackstone
manner, caused many young mem
bers of the bar to sit up and take
notice.
Golf told the jury in his argu-
ment that while he was no lawyer,
ne wished to present his own case
to them. And he did so with the
same Straightforward layman tech
nicalities which he had used in
examining the prosecuting wit
nesses.
During his argument to the jury,
attorneys around the bar recalled
that two members of his family
once had won their W case in
the Supreme Court Of North Caro-
lima without legal consul.
Solicitor Clifton Moore pointed
out that in this case, tried in 1888,
charging Leroy Golf, Jr., and T.
E. Golf, Sir, with assault on Mrs.
7. E. Golf, Jr., the Supreme Court
handed down one of its top deci-
sions in remanding the case back
to the lower court for a new trial
in which the COTS finally won.
Court adjourned yesterday after
noon before the jury reached a
verdict in the present Colts case.
However, old timers were betting
Coca-Colas that this case would go
down in history as another victory
for the Golf family.

TELLS
NEEDS OF STATE
Jaycees Hear Conditions
Prove Challenge To
Young Men

The present status of North Car
DINA in regards 10 education,
Health and medical treatment,
freight rates, port facilities, recrea-
tional facilities and tax system is
a direct challenge to the young
men who make up the member
ship of the Junior Chamber of
Commerce, Robert Williams, Ma
ltional director of the Junior
Chamber, declared last night.
Williams, whose home is in Ashe-
vile, addressed the members Of
the local organization during their
regular dinner meeting in the
Friendly cafeteria. He was intro
duced by Clarence Moore.
Stating that during his four and
one half years of service during
World War II he had virtually been
a travelling Chamber of Com
merce for the state of North Car
DINA, Williams said that upon his
return he was astenished at the
true condition Of the state:
North Carolina ranks 39th in
the nation in education and edu-
cational facilities; 47th in hospitals,
medical equipment and the number
of doctors per capita; 48th in the
number of persons rejected for
military service due to physical
disabilities; and 4th in the number
| of horniridoC ~ coiJ
The present port facilities OF
the state are inadequate, he said,
even though there is a possibility
of having great ports here. The
present freight rates act as an
embargo. Many Of the highways
are obsolete; the state is far be-
hind in aviation and transporta-
ton, and in the establishment OF
parks, Fairgrounds, and recrea
tional facilities for youth.
North Carolina pays the highest
ad valorem tax within 1000 miles;
and bootlegging and racketeering
are prevalent throughout the state,
he continued in challenging the
members of the JayceeS to do
something about it."
Williams also said that no organ
ization can be as strong in bringing
about "a solution to all the bicker-
ing going on now to ecure world
peace as can one of young men.
Seven new members were in
Quoted into the local organization
and were welcomed last night by
Jesse Sellers, president.
They are Dick Woods, Cecil Lee,
Mike Sawyer, Bert Hawley, Bert
Gornto, Clegg Clement, and Frank
Elmore.
Visitors at last nights meeting
were w. B. Berry Edwin Cranes,
Jr., Bill Gregory, Kelly Jewell, Jr.,
and Austin Mcdonald.

Phone Booth Inscription
May Bring Fame To City

yesterday into a midtown restau-
rant and ordered lunch.
He ate with evident satisfaction,
and ordered a second lingering
cup of coffee.
He had virtually finished his
second cup when, with a gesture OF
sudden recollection, he looked
quickly at his wrist watch.
Hastily he left his seat and walk
ed hurriedly to the telephone booth
near the cashiers counter.
AS he waited for his number to
answer, he glanced idly at the
wall of the booth on his left.
When he had completed his cali
and paid his check, he spoke to
the man at the cash register.
Il think" he said, that you
ought to look here in this telephone
booth
"All right" said the man at the
cash register. But why??"
Because" answered the Gus
TONER, "it's my meek opinion that
you might wish to have this in
scription photographed and pre-
served in the archives"
With a look OF puzzlement, the
cashier moved from his place be-
hind the counter and looked at the
wall of the booth.
There, neatly Inscribed in boxed
letters, was this printed legend:
MY heart is full of joy.
I got here before Kilroy."

CASTEEN EXPECTS
TO LEAVE SUNDAY
Police Chief Says Rest Cure
To Last About Three
Months

Chief of Police Charles Casteen
disclosed yesterday that he will
leave Wilmington Sunday f the
Mountain Sanatorium and Hospital
at Fletcher in Western North Caro-
lima.
The rest cure ordered by local
doctors is expected to last around
three months, he said, but express
sed the hope that his health i'm.
proved sufficiently before the END
of that time to enable him to re-
turn to Wilmington.
City Manager J. R. Benson said
earlier that he had been trying to
get Casteen to turn his duties over
to someone else in the department
and leave for Fletcher immedl-
ately. -
Benson did not say who would
be in charge of the force between
the time Casteen left and the ap-
pointmert of a man to fill the po-
sition of police chief but it is be-
lieved that 1t. o. V. Thompson
will assume the duty in view of
his seniority on the force.

have read a number of stories
on the Jones matter and it proved
to US that the instinct Of good
craftsmanship and fair play is
much stronger in the American
people than bitterness and racial
discrimination In this case a
man had been cheated-Cheated be
cause Of his color-by a bunch of
ignorant southerners who consider
themselves superior race.
The locals didn't play up the
Jones story as did the New York
papers and wish they had, be-
cause it proved so many things that
would help the white people realize
what this battle Of race discrimina-
ton is really about.
Americans don't like cheating, on
the basis of race or anything else,
and that's the important fact about
the Jones case. If the people can
be made to see the fact-and it
is a fact--that racial discrimina-
ton in itself is cheating, only then
will there be an end to discrimina-
ton.
