Holiday Confession
Points to His Doom

on his forehead. Holiday confessed
he had not told the truth about
his movements on the day of the
double killings. We returned to
Dayton, and he was turned over to
bet. Sgt. Charles Teeter, in charge
of Homicide, who took down a
written statement from Holiday
relative to the killings" said 1t.
Marts. At this point, Defense
counsel Stewart objected to the
answers and cited the Court with
the rulings on the term of Cor
pus Delicti," meaning the state
ments of the officer could not be
accepted as evidence to convict
his client.
Stewart, by reviewing sew
eral decisions handed down by
various courts said, the laws of
evidence in criminal case are:
'"The proof of the charge in cri-
minal cases involves the proof of
two distinct propositions; first,
that the act itself was done; Sec
ondly, that it was done by the per-
SOY charged, and by none other;
in other words, proof of the Cor
pus Delicti". and of the identity
of the prisoner. 1t is seldom that
either of these can be proved by
direct testimony, and therefore the
fact may lawfully be established
by circumstantial evidence, pro-
vided it be satisfactory. Even in
the case of homicide (murder)
there ought to be the testimony
of persons who have seen and
idntified the body, yet it is not in
dispensably necessary in cases
where the proof of death is so
strong and intense as to produce
the full assuranc of moral GER
tainty" The Court overruled the
objection and allowed the testi-
mony of 1t. Marks to be entered
as evidence against Holiday. In
the cross examination Stewart con-
tended Holiday was being tried on
two counts with attempted rob-
berry and murder. He failed to
gain any ground in his question
ing of the police officer. O'Hara
contended Holiday had confessed
in his statement that he came to
Dayton, sought out his friends,
got broke, and became desperate
and as a result, attempted to rob
Tommy Holt, and in his attempt,
shot and killed Holt and then

ance is removed, it would be very
harmful TO the industry and by
diScouraging further drilling, our
national defense would be weak
ened.
The oil industry in my district
and throughout the country is
suffering greatly because of i'm
ports from foreign countries. Last
year more than two hundred mil
lion barrels of oil were brought
in to the United States. This
drives the price of oil down, but
has not resulted in lower prices
to the consumer. These imports
help no one except a few big oil
companies and are harmful to
our economy. In the last session
of congress an effort was made
in the senate to limit these i'm
ports. The big effort did not sue
ceed, but forty senators voted for
it. Every day the matter becomes
more critical and I am hopeful
that some opportunity will pre-
sent itself whereby congress can
limit imports, at least to a small
percentage of the total consump-
ton of the United States.

THE TELEPHONE RATE INCREASE

The Ohio Associated Telephone Company which serves
Noble county and neighborng exchanges has filed petit
ton with the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio asking
that they be granted authority to increase charges for tee
phone The supplemental petition represents up
ward adjustment of the rates requested in 1948.
When break down the figures we find that buSi-
in Caldwell paying $40O for individual
line The company is asking that he pay 1925 per month
If you rural business ne the charge increases from
$500 to $6.25.
AS Individual, if you have your Phone and the
request is granted, you will be paying $425 You
paying $275 you fourpary line and this is true
in cases, the increase goes from $500 to $275 This
also applies to the rural residential lines.
The proposed increase will affect customers Beverly
Dexter City, Lowell, Watertown, Barlow Lower Salem
Pleasant City, Senecaville and Summerfield.
On the other hand, the telephone company
gagged vast $lOO00O0O program to expand and improve
telephone servce-he biggest project in its history This
money be secured from investors. Obviously, low
earnings would make impossible to interest investors in
supplying the capital needed Most stocks

57 percent the investment On the present rate

l have been opposed to set
ting up a great Federal organi-
alton to pass on the possible
prejudices involved in any one of
the go million employment re-
lationships i'm the United States.
1t would subject millions of en-
ployers to arbitrary action by some
Federal board. That board would
have to determine in each case
the motive of an employer in turn
ing down an applicant for work;
and, because motive is a question
of fact, there would practically be
no appeal to the courts. In my
opinion, the Federal government
is no proper agency to deal directly
with 140 million individuals in
this country, or to try to offer a
legal enforcement remedy for all
their problems.
IN considering the rights of the
minorities, we must also con-
slider the rights of the several mil
lion employers who are reSpon-
sible for constantly increasing our
production and standard of living.
1t certainly is a serious depriva-
ton of liberty to say to a man that
he must employ someone who he
may consider to be untitled or
perhaps entirely incompetent for
the particular job, or prove the
validity of his opinion in court.
Furthermore, the effort of the
Federal government to deal with
all these millions of cases is
bound to create bitter feeling

feeling and prejudice rather
than to remove it.

There is a strong possibility
that the territories of Alaska and
Hawaii will soon be admitted as
states. Both major parties in the
last election had platforms pro-
missing statehood and the house
just adopted resolutions which
will assure a vote on these two
questions. Only Is votes were
cast against the rule making the
Alaskan statehood bill in order.
No votes were registered against
the rule providing for a later
vote on statehood for Hawaii. No
one can dispute the fact that
these two territories are vital to
our national defense. 1t is felt
that making them states will pro-
mote their growth and develop
ment.
Alaska was purchased from
Russia in 1867. Her population to-
day is over 100000. Alaska has
had her own legislature since
1912. Twelve states that have
been admitted to the union had
less population than either Alas
ka or Hawaii. Nevada had $4,000
population, Florida $4,000 popu-
lation and Ohio about $4,000
when admitted to the union.
Hawaii has a population of
100000 $4,000 Hawaiians served
in the armed forces of the United
States in World War II. Hawaii
was annexed to the United States
in 1898 at the request of the
Hawaiian people. Their legisla-
ture was authorized by congress
in 1900. Hawaii pays more fed
eral income tax than any one of
our twelve smallest states. Ha-
waii produces each year about
nine hundred thousand tons of
sugar, twenty-three million cases
of pineapple and eight million
pounds of coffee. The value of
these three crops is about one
hundred and twenty million dol
lars annually. Bank deposits in
Hawaii are over $500,000, 900.
Hawaii has a surplus in the
treasury which can not be said
of many states. Practically all
the population of both Alaska
and Hawaii are American citizens
so their status in this respect will
not be changed if they are ad-
mitted to the union. The biggest
argument for the admission of
these two territories as states is
their strategic importance and
the certainty that our national
defense will be greatly strength
ened.

DEPLETION ALLOWANCE

During World War / the gov
ernment wanted to encourage the
production Of oil and coal and to
do this, permitted oil producers
and coal operators to deduct de-
pletion allowances annually from
their taxes. In drilling for oil or
gas, a great risk is involved be-
cause seldom is there assurance
that these commodities will be
found. In fact, the deepest well
ever drilled in the United States
was in Wyoming and was COM
pleted in 1949. 1t was drilled to
depth of 20.521 feet and came
in dry. The cost of drilling this
and many other wells will ex-
ceed one million dollars. Such
risks can not be taken without
some incentive. The average cost
of a well drilled in the United
States is more than $4,000 and
the average depth is 3,342 feet.
The deepest producing we'll in
the United States is in Califor-
MIA. This well was completed in
1949 and is 14,475 feet. The deep
est producing we'll in Texas is
14,004 feet. The biggest potential
producer of oil was a we'll drilled
by the Ohio Oil Co. in Texas.
This we'll produced eight thou
sand barrels the first hour. Many
Texas wells are capable of pro-
ducing one hundred thousand
barrels in a day, although this
production is not achieved due to
the imposition of quotas limiting
the amount of oil that can be
produced from each we'll. In the
18th district there are thousands
of oil wells. The average depth is
probably 1,500 feet.
In my opinion the depletion al
lowance should be continued. It
will encourage the development
of new production and maintain
a higher level of income for the

THE MAY 2 PRIMARY

There will be election May in Noble county and
already concerned not with the number of people

and fail take advantage of their golden opportunity
In Noble county alone and this represents picture
for the entire state and nation WELL there has been
