John C. Mobley, the courts ma
jority opinion said Mobley was
rot legally arrested. "It is axio-
matte that every person has the
right to resist an unlawful ar
rest" the court said.
Mobley was arrested by Dallas
police officers without a warrant
on charges of public Drunkenness,
resisting arrest and simple as
sault. A jury freed him of the
drunkenness charge but found him
guilty on the other counts.
Associate Justice Jeff johnson
Jr. said there was no evidence
that Mobley'S conduct at tho time
OF arrest amounted to either an
actual or threatened breach of
the peace" to allow his arrest
without a warrant.
Associate Justice R. Hunt Park
er disagreed. He said Mobley
cursed and threatened the Off
GERS. To deny officers the right to
make an arrest in such a case. he
said, would deal "a Gripping
blow" to law enforcement.
Parker said he voted for a new
trial for Mobley because of er-

Wheat Supports
Are Increased

The final support rate on the
1854 crop of wheat has been an
nounced, says H. D. Godfrey, state
administrative officer for Agri-
cultural Sterilization and Con-
Servation.
The final rate is 4 cents more
Der buShel than the minimum
prices announced last fall. The
average support rate for grades
Of wheat produced throughout the
nation is 1924 per bushel. God
frey compares this figure with the
national average support rate Of
S2.21 per bushel for the 1875 3crop.
The class of wheat grown in
North Carolina is soft red winter
wheat. This wheat, grading No. l.,
carries a support rate of $2.40
bushel; grading No. 2, it car
ries rate of $3.50; No. 3 $2.37;
No. 4 1924: and No. 5 $2.31.
Godfrey reports that by grade
the rate is also discounted ac-
cording to the condition of the
wheat. If the wheat is light
smutty", the support rate is Q
cents less, "smutty",. cents less,
light garlicky", 6 cents less.
and "garlicky", Is cents less per
buShel.
The 1854 wheat crop will be
supported as in the past through
loans on farm and warehouse
stored wheat and through the pur-
chase of wheat delivered by pro-
ducers under purchase agree
ments.. Loans and purchase agree
r1ents will be available from har-
vest time through January 81.
1855.
In North Carolina these loans
will mature on February %, 1855.
Producers who elect to deliver
wheat under purchase agreements
must notify their County Agricul-
tural Sterilization and Conserva-
ton Committee within a 3O-day
period ending on the loan maturi-
ty date.
To get wheat price support in
1854, a producer must be in COM
pliance with his 1854 wheat acre
age allotment and be eligible to
receive a wheat marketing card
on all other wheat growing farms
in the county in which he has an
interest, Godfrey reminds.
