LENGTHY LAWSUIT
INVOLVES VALUABLE
OCRACOKE TRACT
McWilIiams and Wahab Contend
ing Over Ownership Of Four
Acres of Waterfront

The magic wand of State and
Federal benevolence has transmit
ed what was once about four and a
half acres of worthless wet marsh
on Silverlake, Ocracoke Island into
something worth many thousands
of dollars. The processes which
followed brought to the island
this week a unique assembly of
legal ability to bring about a de-
cision as to who owns the land. It's
value has been placed variously by
bystanders at five to Is thousand
dollars.
Charlie McWilliams and Stanley
Wahab, both prominent native
and resident citizens of the island
contend for ownership of this
four and half acres of sandy
elevation skirting the waterfront.
In the process of setting up plan
for selling off this land, Mr.. Wa
hab, an active promoter of real
estate found some clouds on the
title, and he started a proceeding
to perfect title. The land had been
made valuable by deposits of soil
dredged while deepening the har-
Dor.
Charlie McWilliams claims he
owns the land too. He employed
Solicitor Walter Cahoon and
George T. Davis of Swan Quarter
to defend his claim. Representing
Mr.. Wahab are o. L. Williams of
Swan Quarter and Henry Leroy
of Elizabeth City.
The litigants decided to have the
issues heard by a referee and Mar
tin Kellogg, Jr., Manteo attorney
was chosen as the referee. For
four days this week the entire as
sembly held court at Ocracoke,
presenting and hearing the evil
dence in the case, which was pre-
sented by numerous witnesses and
many dispositions based on a sur
vey made by Court Surveyor Ed
die Jackson of Washington.
After hearing all that could be
heard on Ocracoke Island about
this land, the court was adjourned
until some later date when the
referee can consider the balance
of testimony and evidence. This
will be followed by periods of
study and digestion of the evil
dence which may run into several
weeks or months before Mr.. Kel-
logg can report his findings.
From the vigor and interest be-
ing devoted to the case, not to
speak of some considerable ex-
pense, it is the lay opinion that it
will most likely be fought through
all the courts of the state. 1t is re-
markable that in few years, due
to the great chain of progress in
this coastland, that what was from
early time a piece of land so rela-
lively insignificant, has without
the action of any citizens or agen-
cy in this coastland, become a
treasure of such value as to war
rant expenditure of what most
surely will run into small fortune
as viewed through the eyes of the
recent past.

New Civil Rights
Legislation Seen

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 28.-
Senator Clifford Case (R) of New
Jersey forecast after conference
with President Eisenhower that the
administration will recommend new
civil rights legislation dealing with
racial Indignation.
He added that civil rights mat
tiers generally and racial integra-
ton problems specifically are very
much on the Presidents mind.
"He is deeply in sympathy with
efforts the Department of Justice
is making to come up with some
thing" on legislative proposals,
Senator Case said.
Such proposals probably will be
outlined in the State of the Union
message Mr.. Eisenhower will send
to Congress next month.
Senator Case said he personally
is interested in legislation to give
the federal government authority
to intervene, under some circum-
stances, in Investigations and per-
haps take legal action in such mat
tiers as bombings of schools and
places of worship.
Senator Case also advocated leg
islation to widen federal govern
ment authority to obtain court in
functions to enforce integration
rulings. Senator Case noted that
Congress restricted such authority
in a 1857 civil rights law.

DR.. Martin Luther King, Jr.,
gave his endorsement to the Pill
grimage of Prayer for Public
Schools. In a letter sent from his
office in Montgomery, Ala, to
nearly 1000 Virginia clergymen,
he urged their fullest cooperation
with the Pilgrimage.
Religious Movement
The Pilgrimage, scheduled f4r
Emancipation Day, January 1, in
Richmond, is part of the grow
ing statewide opposition to "mass-
i've resistance" With the end of
the first semester drawing near,
thousands of children are still
locked out of their schools.
The new semester brings the
threat of closure to additional
schools. This Pilgrimage of Pray
err is a religious movement called
by church and lay leaders across
Virginia. These leaders have stat
ed that it is their Christian duty
to afford the people of Virginia
this opportunity for the expression
of their deep concern over the
public school crisis.
Time For Action
DR.. M. L. King, Jr., in his let
ter to the ministers of Virginia,
stated in part: "This is time for
action in Virginia. No person of
color can afford the luxury of
standing idly by with public educa-
ton in such great jeopardy. To-
day is day for great men, great
ideas, great movements, a day of
new self-esteem and dignity fer
Negro Americans; a day for all
Virginians of good will to speak
to our millions of disenfranchised
brothers all over the world. Chris
tian democracy is at stake. :.
Let us then, proclaim Emancipa-
ton Day, January 1, as day of
Prayer and Sacrifice for the suf-
ferings of all oppressed people"
