Cohn & Schine

Tired but happy, the youth
full investigators for Senator
Mccarthy were home again last
week after one of the most
hilarious tours of Europe since
Mark Twain's "Innoc cents
Abroad"
Europe itself was left shak-
ing-moStly from laughter, but
a little from Indignation
after the two-week, full-speed
junket by the Cohn-Schine
team. Roy M. Cohn, leader
and spokesman, is chief coun-
sci for Senator McCarthy'S
Special Investigating Subcom-
mittee at the tender age Of 26.
Number two in the Mccarthy
criss-cross against communism
and inefhciency is Gerard Da-
vid Schine, a subcommittee
consultant, age 25.
The pair said their mission
Evening star., 1953-04-26

was to inspect American infor-
nation services overseas and to
study foreign information
agencies.
Europeans, to whom Senator
Mccarthy is a strange and
sinister character, were aston
ished at the sight of his two
emisSaries bounding from capi-
tai to capital, making lightning
checks Of American libraries
and information centers and
announcing-at their frequent
press conference.-the saving
of millions of dollars.
Being relatively unfamiliar
with the technique of congress
sional junketeers, Europeans
wondered how such thorough
work and splendid results could
accompany such an apparently
helter-skelter trip. But the
Mccarthy investigators pressed
Onto Berlin, Bonn, Frank
furt. Munich, Vienna, Bel
grade, Rome. Athens. Paris
and finally London.
Press Reaction
The foreign press treated
the good right and left hands
of Mr.. Mccarthy with a mix
ture of outrage and humor.
These bits Of information re-
ceived wide circulation:
Mr.. Schine and Mr.. Cohn
got into an argument in a
hotel corridor, and Mr.. Schine
was seen to belt Mr.. Cohn one
with a rolled-up magazine.
The investigators liked best
what they saw in the Belgrade
information Offices. They an
nounced no inefficiency or dis
loyalty there.
In Germany and Austria
alone, according to the London
Times diplomatic correspon-
dent, the young men inter-
viewed some 1877 officials in
four working days. While at
Radio Free Europe they pro
cessed" in about half an hour
about 1900 members of the
staff.
After talking with Ambassa-
dor Winthrop w. A'drich in
London, Mr.. Schine announced
that the distinguished, 68-
year-old international banker,
"for a man who has been here
only two months, seems to
have grasped the problems very

the tides of battle ebbed after
Red victory in 1949. Some of

The, constitutional guaran-
tee Of a speedy and public"
trial for those accused of crime
long has been a touchy legal
problem for attorneys and the
courts. The argument was re-
vived in recent weeks by two
cases during which the public
was banned from hearing a
part of the testimony. Both
were sex cases.
Court Interpretation of the
speedy and public trial guar
antee has not always held that
it gives the public a right, or
even a privilege. to listen in on
criminal proceedings.
Arguments on both sides
have been vociferous, and the
courts have been as divided as
the man on the street.
In the two recent cases, the
practice of clearing the court
room stems from the theory
that there are some things it is
better for the public not to
hear.
JeIke Cose
In the Minot F. Mickey
Jelke case in New York on
charges of operating a high
priced prostitution racket,
General Sessions Judge Francis
L. Valente cleared the court
during testimony of one of the
witnesses. The judge said he
felt details of the testimony
would be STEPPED in filth" He
barred both the public and the
press.
A group of New York news
papers and press associations
took the decision to New York's
Appellate Division. In sup
porting it's contention that the
press or any other member Of
the public not directly con-
nected with the trial had no
right to intervene with action
while the trial was in progress,
the appellate court brought up
again this intriguing question:
If the public, and each
member of the public, has a
right to attend criminal trials,
what is to happen in cases
where so much interest de-
velops that a crowded court
room forces exclusion of a part
Of the public?
Legal precedent for this
point goes back to a 1913 case
in Alaska, when a Federal
judge barred the public from
part of the testimony during
a rape trial. Attorneys for the
defendant. in appealing the
case, said their client had been
deprived of the advantages of
a public trial.
Three Exceptions
The appellate court said
there were some exceptions to
the public trial guarantee in
the Constitution. principally
Cd if the courtroom were not
large enough, the judge had a
right to exclude those who
couldn't get in; (2) he could
exclude boisterous or unruly
spectators, or 90 he could

Educational TV
That's an interesting Strug-
gle going on between the pub
lie schools and a group Of
private educational institutions
over the proposed educational
television channel here. Su-
perintendent Hobart Corning
has felt his department has
the biggest stake in the
project but opponents, who
include the major COL
leges of the area, can't see
it that way. They have incor-
porated to battle it out.
It's hard to. call the winner
Of this one in advance. The
private group can muster a
good deal Of political influence.

PAYS RESPECTS TO
BAD" FERRY SERVICE

To The Editor:
AS a resident of the State of
North Carolina, l feel it is my
duty to bring to the attention of
those concerned the situation that
exists in regard to the ferries that
operate at Oregon Inlet on the
outer banks of Dare County.
Being a member of the U. S.
Navy, and at present stationed on
an aircraft carrier, which at this
time is in Norfolk, Va, for a
short stay, I look forward to my
week ends off, when 1 would like
to travel down to Avon, N. c., to
visit my wife and family.
But with the ferry system as
it is, I spend much of my time
waiting at Oregon Inlet for a
ferry, and l have always been
afraid that many times l would
not be able to make it back to the
ship in time.
Not only are the ferries made
quate to take care of the traffic
that flows to Cape Hatteras and
back during the week, and also
on week ends, but in my opinion
they are also unsafe.
And in my estimation there
should be action taken immediat-
ely before a number of people are
hurt or drowned in Oregon Inlet
while being transported across on
one of these ferries.
l believe that I not only convey
my own feelings, but the feelings
of many others who have to use
the ferries, that the situation that
now exists at Oregon Inlet is not
only dangerous to our State
Highway Commission, but also
to our state of N. c.
l am sure the ferry system at
Oregon Inlet at present keeps
many travellers away from Cape
Hatteras, who would like to visit,
but cannot plan their trips be-
cause of the very poor schedule
now in operation.

TRUCK LOAD OF FISH
LEAPS FROM CHASSIS
Hugh CraddOck's Truck Upsets
With 5000 Pounds on Way
to Market

Hugh Craddock of Manns Har-
Dor was late getting to market
the 5000 pounds of fish belong
ing to himself and his brother
Ronald which left late Thursday
afternoon. The brakes failed at
the intersection Of 345 and U. S.
81 on Roanoke Island, and the
truck couldn't make the turn.
When it crossed the road, the en-
tire body with its load of two
and half tons of fish left the
chassis, and stood on end beside
the truck. The fish were scatter
ed.
Hugh Craddock who was driv-
ing, got shaken up a little, but
escaped serious injury. Through
the prompt aid of neighbors and
others living in the vicinity, the
fish were soon recovered, and re-
iced, and sent to market none the
worse for the delay.
The damage to the truck itself,
was minor. Hugh Craddock says
he is mighty grateful to the many
people who came to the rescue
and so willingly aided him dur
ing the night in saving the fish.

proVementS
By ALICE X. RoNDTHALER

| Ocracoke.-Charlle Williams,
operator of the Hatteras-Ocracoke
Bus Line, made a trip to Raleigh
hast week and returned with a
good amount of definite informa-
ton from the North Carolina Util-
tiles Commission about his fran
chise to carry mail, passengers,
and freight between Hatteras and
Ocracoke.
According to printed rules and
regulations governing the routes
operations, one round trip will be
made daily during the winter
months, and two round trips during
the summer months. Straight fare
each way including ferry and per-
sonal baggage for each person 8
years of age and above will be
$1.50; under 8 years of age, free.
Freight rates are figured accord
ing to size of packages and weight.
The mail and passenger truck is
to endeavor to maintain its pub
lished schedule, but is not liable
for delays caused by accidents,
breakdowns, bad condition of
roads, snow storms, and other con-,
ditions beyond its control. Rules
and regulations are provided for
refusal to transport Objectionable
persons, such as those under the
influence of Intoxicating liquors or
drugs, etc. Rules concerning trans
portation of dogs, cats, and other
live animals are restrictive, except
in the case of the so-called "See-
ing Eye Dogs" travelling with blind
persons, when properly harnessed
and muzzled.
Baggage will not be checked, but
will be left in the custody of pas
sengers. A limit not exceeding 25
pounds of weight, SO" in length,
20" in heighth, and IL" in width is
transported without additional
charge. Larger and heavier goods
come under the heading of freight.
Mr.. McWilliams, as required by
the Commission, carries liability
insurance of $4,000.
The present winter-time sched-
ule is as follows: mail truck leaves
Hatteras daily, excepting Sundays,
at 1915 pm. arrives Ocracoke
about 2:45 p.b.; return trip, leaves
Ocracoke z am, arrives Hatteras
about 9:45 am. The mail does not
travel on Sundays, but special ar
engagements can be made with Mr..
McWilliams for a Sunday trip.
Frazier Peele operates the ferry,
making the trip over from Halter
as each day, excepting Sundays, at
S:15 am. and 1915 pm. Mr.. Peele
makes special trips upon arrange
ment.
Asked whether he heard any ru-
mors in Raleigh about the pro-
posed Coastland Highway, Charlie
McWilliams said, Nothing def
mite, but some think we might get
a little pavement at the other end
next spring or summer" Until a
paved road extends all the way
down the sixteen-mile reef to Ocra-
coke Village, only persons with
four-wheel-drive jeeps or cars are
certain to reach Ocracoke without
delay or mishap, and even such
must be experienced sand drivers.
This summer and fall the beach
and the so-called "inside road"
down the Island have been in the
worst condition known in many
years.
