GOVERNOR cRlTlclSES THE
ENCOURAGING OF BASTARDY
THROUGH WELFARE SUPPORT

y
Governor Luther Hodges, in q
speech in Asheville last week, ex-
pressed concern over the problem
caused by mothers who have ille-
gitimate children and then collect
welfare funds for their support.
II am disturbed about the situa-
ton involving illegitimate children
whose so-called parents collect
welfare money and seem to con-
slider this money a reward for
their action" Hodges declared.
eve have this problem with US,
particularly as it affects the Ne
groes, and we should not let any
political group, either in our state
or in Washington, keep US from
facing up to the responsibility of
doing something about this prob
lem," Hodges said.
He added, "many people be-
lieve that such use of welfare
funds is actually encouraging IL
legitimacy and abandonment of
children. If necessary, we must
fight bureaucracy in Washington
or indifference at home of those
who ought to take greater respon-
sibility."
Hodges made these remarks in
an address prepared for delivery
at meeting of the Southeastern
regional conference, American
Public Welfare Assn. Mrs. Ellen
Winston, State Welfare Commits
sioner attended this meeting.
In his address, Hodges said the
public welfare program is ian ex-
preston of the conscience of the
state" and is concrete evidence
of acceptance of responsibility by
government for the poverty
stricken, the physically handicap
ped, the mentally or emotionally
disturbed, the maladjusted, the
peoples who for one reason or an
other have been unable to share
in the forward progress of the
state"
He said it is essential "that we
not only raise the overall eco
nonic level of the state but also
that quite literally we push up
from the bottom" He pointed out
that one-fourth of the families and
single individuals in North Caro-
lima have an annual cash income
of less than $1,000.
eve must address ourselves in
creasingly to this hard core of
people who have not benefited by
the prosperity of the last few
years." Hodges stated. at con-
sists of individuals and families
which we know become relatively
poorer in good times than in bad,
because (they) y. are particular
ly vulnerable to any rise in the
cost of living"
Hodges said he was "gravely
concerned" because federal legis-
lation has made it impossible Ito
make payments to- needy people
through guardians who could
supervise the wise expenditure of
public funds" He said the state is
seeking to draft a law consistent

You'll be glad to know that 1t
was no imagination on your part
when you suspected that the car
actually increased in speed the
time you locked the brakes on a
slippery road and the car started
TO slide.
Tests have shown that this &C

does happen under these condi-
tons.
All of which Just goes to
demonstrate that the safest de-
celebration Is when the wheels Of
the car still are turning. Only
when they turn are the brakes
actually working to check speed.
las soon as the wheels lock the
lbraking is transferred from the
brake shoes TO the tires. and here
only four relatively small spots

doing the job.

claims of $4,000 which the
Government also claimed Kra-
vitz owed. This offer was re-
fused, the witness said.
Mr.. Chotiner said he first met
Herman Kravitz at a pre-ar-
ranged meeting in Washington
on May 10. 1858. Kravitz was
under indictment at the time or
the fur theft charge. He said
the clothing maker told him hs
was contemplating opening a
plant in the Los Angeles area and
asked him to look for some in
dustrial sites for him.
The lawyer said Kravitz was
vague as to the time he planned
to move his business to the West
Coast and that he has never
looked at any sites. At the time
Kravitz gave him a $4,000 re-
tainer.
Mr.. Chotiner said he next met
Kravltz on May %, 1858, in
New York. At that meeting
Herman and his father Sam
were present, along with joey
Abrams and an attorney named
Bernard Katzel.
1t was on that occasion that
he was retained, Mr.. Chotiner
said, to represent Abrams.

Nv. A. Parzow.
Mr.. Chotiner said he had met
Mr.. Pafzow about six times
and that he knew him although
lit was not a close relationship.
Mr.. Chotiner was asked if tes-
timony previously given in ex-
ecutive session by Mr.. Parzow
to the effect that they had met
only once was correct. Mr..
Chotiner said that was mot cor
rect" He had talked with Mr..
Parzow several times in several
cities. including Los Angeles,
Washington and Atlantic City,
Mr.. Chotiner said. He testified
also that third parties had been
present at some of the CONVEX
sations.
He had never discussed the
Kravitz affair with Mr.. Parzow,
Mr.. Chotiner said. but it was his
impression, he added, that Mr..
Parzow was one of the persons
who had recommended his legal
services to the Kravitzes.
Mr.. Parzow. Mr.. Chotiner said,
was client of his who had
brought to him the problems of
a third group Of persons-who
remained unidentified in the
questioning.
Mr.. Kennedy said at the noon
recess that Mr.. Parzow would
testify later.

Subcommittee Chairman Nc
Clellan, Democrat of Arkansas.
Mr.. Chotiner said he repre-.
scented Abrams in a pending in
come tax investigation and also
on a $4,000 claim Abrams hac
made against the Government.
Subcommittee Counsel Robert
If. Kennedy asked the witness
why Abrams was present at the
New York meeting when he and
the Kravitzes supposedly had
been competitors for Govern
ment business.
Mr.. Chotiner replied it would
violate his confidential relations
with his client to go into details
in the matter.
Refused to Answer
Both the Kravitzes and Abrams
in appearing earlier in the in
vestigation refused to answer
numerous questions regarding
their Government business on
grounds of possible self incrimi-
nation.
Earlier testimony alleged that
Abrams in a two-year period,
I195l-1953. purchased in his name
and the names of others more
than Sc million in bonds of vari-
GUS sorts. The witnesses also
invoked the Fifth Amendment on
most questions pertaining to the
bonds.
Senator Mcclellan said he was
seeking information as to
whether bonds have been used
to bride Army officials in return
for contract favors. The Kra-
Ivitzes took the Fifth Amendment
when asked if they had ever
bribed a Government official.
Mccarthy Interrupts
Senator Mccarthy, Republican
of Wisconsin. a member of the
committee. interrupted the ques-
tioning several times to ask what
Mr.. Kennedy was getting at.

The guilty verdict was returned

Said Police Struck Him
The prosecution was based
chiefly on the confession and
reconstruction by Watson, who
pleaded not guilty and said the
confession was made under du-
ress after q policeman struck
him. A physician who examined
Watson right after his confession
testified he was in good condition
and had not been mishandled.
In his re-enactment, Watson
showed how he crept into former
