Pistol That Won't Fire
Isn't Deadly Weapon,
Judge Rules in Case

A pistol that will not fire Is
not in itself a deadly weapon
under the. meaning of District
law, according to a ruling in Mu-
nicipal Court yesterday.
The decision, based on a case
before Judge Almond w. Scott,
was believed to be the first on
the question in the District. Of
ficers of the District Attorneys
Office in Municipal Court said
they brought the case into court
to get a ruling.
The case which started Monday,
concerned a charge Of carrying a
deadly weapon, brought against
Andrew B. Evans. %, colored, Of
Maxton, N. C. Evans. a recently
discharged soldier, was arrested
June 2 as he was passing through
Washington on his way home.
At the Greyhound bus station
Evans, according to court testi-
mony, became involved in an
argument over a taxicab with two
other men, Carl Foster, "a, and
Guy Booth, 20, both attached to
the Military Police at Fort Bel
voir, Va.
In the course of the argument
Evans drew small, foreign-make
pistol from his pocket. He told
the two men, who were in civilian
clothes, to get into the cab and
leave him alone. He repeated his
warning when they tried to follow
him. The two men called mill
tary police, who arrested Evans.
During the trial it was brought
out that the pistol Evans carried
had been "demobilized" by the
Army and was incapable of being
fired. Evans said he had the
weapon as a souvenir.
His attorney, William Bryant,
argued such a pistol is not a
deadly weapon in itself.
Judge Scott found Evans not
guilty.

AT the close of the first month

Appeal Issued For
Gifts To Mental Homes

An appeal to all civic and SER
vice clubs, church groups and in

day.
w. D.. Hilton, executive secre-

number of the patients will not

Hilton said. 'sThe institution gives
each patient a red stocking filled
with fruits, candies and nuts, and
a turkey dinner each year - but
there is no provision for gifts,
Small radio sets, record players,
or even a piano will be welcomed

one of the finest of morale build

Clothing, games, fiction, maya

insect Domuge To
Cotton Estimated At
20 Per Cent OF Crop

Insect damage to the 1850 cot
ton crop in Mississippi amounted
to approximately SOL, 240,0 900, de-
stroying ~ per cent of the total
harvest, according to an unofficial
preliminary estimate compiled by
the National Cotton Council, Bos-
well Stevens, chairman of the Mis-
sissippi unit of the Council, said
today.
Insects kept approximately
431, 900 bales of cotton and an
estimated 177,000 tons Of cotton
seed off the market this year. Bas-
led on average prices, this lint
would have brought Mississippi
farmers some $86, 154, 900 and the
seed would have meant an addi-
tional profit of SIS, 086, 000," the
Council spokesman said.
Throughout the Cotton Belt"
Mr. Stevens said, IAN estimated
16.5 per cent of the crop, valued
at approximately $500, SOS 900 was
destroyed. In dollars and cents,
losses in 1850 we're second highest
on record, exceeded only by 1949
when damage amounted to more
than $617 million"
Chairman Stevens announced
that the National Cotton Council
will hold the fourth annual Cotton
Insect Control Conference in Men,
phis, December 7-8, to discuss in
sect damage in Mississippi and
other Cotton Belt states. This con-
ference at the Hotel Peabody will
bring together state and federal
entomologists, representatives of
the insecticide industry, agricul-
tural education workers, and cot
ton industry leaders to plan an
integrated program of cotton in
sect control for 1851.

Raleigh, N. c., Sept. - Tony
Tolar, the ex-Highway Patrol
boss, is reported to be the man
who tipped off newsmen about
the ]. B. Moore case.
Moore, as you know, was in.
dicted by a Wake County grand
jury last week, along with A. w.
Livengood of Winston-Salem, on
charges of ENLIGHTENMENT and
conspiracy plus misfeasance OF
office. Moore is charged with
using state materials and prison
labor, while he was prisons di
rector, to build a garageapart
ment.
Tolar was seen in deep confer
ence with a neWsman twice or
the same day the Moore story
broke, and on the day the story
came to light was seen riding
with this same reporter in front
of MOOre'S house.
Two days before the grand
jury was scheduled to hear the
case, Tolar repeatedly visited
Moore's house and tried to get
the eX-prisons director to involve
others in his difficulties and see
how much he (Moore) could
smear the administration.

Care In Lifting
Urged By Agent

Correct lifting should be prac.
ticed until it becomes a habit, "
commented Charles D. Raper,
County AGENT, today. Each
year thousands are victims of
sprains, strains, hernias and
other injuries caused by improp-
er lifting.
According to the records of the
National Safety Council the most
common causes of lifting injur-
les are as follows: CD lifting and
lowering with the back muscles
instead of the leg muscles; (2)
insecure grip or footing and I'M
safe placing of hands or feet;
80 using quick, jerking, twist
ing or awkward movements of
the body; ca DISTRACTED vision,
unstable loads or inadequate con-
troll; 50 insufficient help or
failure to use mechanical aids.
The body is mechanical sys-
tenn of levers and hinges, activ.
ated by cables just like many
machines. Nature intended each
bone Joint and muscle for a spe'
cific purpose. When overloaded
or used improperly, injuries are
invited. It is a common practice
to bend at the waist when reach
ing down to grasp an object.
Lifting in this position places a
severe strain on the sensitive
back and abdominal muscles.
Always bend your knees and
keep back straight when it be-
comes necessary to lift. Examine
farm lifting jobs with a critical
eye. Rearrange the work to elm
mate or reduce the amount of
lifting required. Explore the fea-
sibility of using simple and safe
mechanical aids, such as rope
hoists, wooden skids, and hand
trucks or inexpensive conveyors.
