Municipal Court Judge George
D. Nelson yesterday defended
his occasional practice of han
ding some items of court buSi-
ness by telephone.
The practice came to light
following an incident at court
Friday involving the amount
OF bond in q rape case.
Defense lawyer Samuel j.
Ochipinti. after a courtroom
discussion with Judge Nelson's
clerk and an Assistant United
States attorney, refused to
agree to any bond being set for
his client in the judges ab-
Sence.
The bond matter eventually
was handled later by another
judge in a nearby courtroom.
Judge Nelson said yesterday
he sees nothing wrong in set
ting bonds, appointing attor-
neys and granting continu-
ances and jury trial requests
other than in person when all
the parties agreed.

RedCross
Opens Drive
For Blood

Six Metropolitan Area chap
ters of the American Red Cross
yesterday launched a campaign
to seek more blood donors and
volunteer workers during
March. proclaimed by the Dis
trict Commissioners as Red
Cross Month.
The campaign was opened
with a luncheon at the Ma
tional Press Club for more
than 300 Red Cross workers
and their guests.
Meanwhile. President Ken
nedy called upon the American
people last night to support the
1861 Red Cross drive for funds
nationally.
Following custom. the Presi-
dent, who is honorary chair
man Of the Red Cross, desig-
mated March as Red Cross
Month.
DR.. Donald H. Stubbs. presi-
dent Of the Medical Society of
the District of Columbia, urged
workers here to start recruit
ing more people to be called
upon throughout the year" for
volunteer blood donations.
Instead of putting on a
money-raising campaign this
March, the Red Cross here will
concentrate on obtaining blood
donor pledges, the recruitment
Of volunteers and expansion of
community participation in
free Red Cross courses.
Because the United Givers
Fund, in which the Red Cross
shares. came so close to reach
ing its $7.2 million goal, the
traditional Red Cross March
money drive was not deemed
necessary.

paign will be Good Things

Urges Tax Cut
On Big Incomes
By the Associated Press


Reduction Of high-bracket
income tax rates and faster in
dustrial tax write-offs were
urged by a business research
organization yesterday as a
spur to economic growth.
A list of proposed tax
changes recommended by the
Committee for Economic De-
velopment called also for the
closing Of several tax loopholes,
stricter enforcement and a new
treatment for tax-exempt State
and city bonds.
CED officials said the latter
proposals would bring in about
81 billion Of new revenue. This
would offset most of the esti-
mated SIS billion cost Of the
other changes, they estimated,
leaving a net loss to the Treas
ury Of around $500 million In
the first year, This presumably
would dwindle later.

MOI Effective,
Doctor Says

Doctors are advised in the
latest issue Of the Journal of
the American Medical Associa-
tion that all Salk polio vaccine
shots given so far will have TO
be repeated to have any effect.
DR.. John H. Talbot, editor
Of the journal, said today, how
ever, that the advice-given in
the form Of an answer to a
question sent in by a Wisconsin
doctor - represents only the
personal opinion of the writer,
DR.. Herbert Rather of Oak
Park, H., a known opponent
Of Salk vaccine.
The answer in no way re-
fleets a policy decision by the
ANA, DR.. Talbot said. In fact,
the ANA only three months
ago indorSed the vaccine and
urged its wide use pending the
arrival of the new live-virus
oral vaccine, he said.
DR.. Wayne G. Brandstadt,
an editorial assistant who
chooses writers to answer
questions, said he chose DR..
Rather because he was i'm
pressed by the views that DR..
Rather had made known about
the Salk vaccine in previous
articles in other journals.
II thought his views were
interesting and should get
some recognition" DR.. Brand
stadt said. He added that he
himself is not an expert" on
the vaccine question.
The anonymous Wisconsin
doctor had asked about the
potency of Salk vaccine shots,
and DR.. Rather answered that
lit is now generally recognized
that much of the Salk vaccine
used In the United States has
been worthless"
DR.. Rather said previous
shots by and large have been
too weak to have any effect,
and that therefore "a complete
course Of vaccination is in
dicated, irrespective Of the
number Of injections Of the
Salk vaccine given"

OCRACOKE BOAT
NOW MEMORY OF
WHAT USED TO BE
BY JOHN MORGAN
In The Washington
IN. CT Daily News.

The Bessie Virginia's" rugged
bow no longer plows through the
waves of the Pamlico River and
Sound on its weekly voyage be-
tween Washington and Ocracoke.
Does this mark the end of an
era?
Iguess you'd have to call it that,
since the Ocracoke boat is no long
er running up here to washington.
Van Henry O'Neal and his father,
Walter O'Neal, sold the Bessie"
to a group of commercial skin div
ers who operate up and down the
coast a couple of weeks ago, 1t
has been reported.
With the advent of modern high
ways and other transportation fac
ilities, the freight business had fall
en- off to such an extent that the
Bessie" wasn't making expenses,
so the O'Neal's sold her and Van
is now operating a freight truck
out of Ocracoke.
This meant the loss OF some So
600 10 $1,000 per week in trade
here in Washington and this figure
has been known to run as high as
$4,000 in business per week during
peak season.
Some of this trade, of course, is

At one time there were two boat.

Hatteras operating here, mostly in
the fishing trade. AS one old-timel
put it, all the fish used to come
here on those windjammers, ant
when there was a cam spell, folks
Just did without fish.
Then there were the oysterine
fleets, Large numbers of oyster
boats would sail into port here I'd
unload, and oftentimes they would
be lined up halfway across the
river.
And if you'll pardon us for get
ting lyrical we can remember
those halcyon nights of moonlight
cruises under full sail aboard the
old bugeyes.
How many excursionists have en-
joyed lying on a hatch cover,
watching the stars glide by over
head while the wind whispered
through the rigging and the salt
water swished under the bow and
alongside, to trail far astern in a
phosphorescent glow?
The old bugeye is another relic
of the past and was distinguished
by its raked Cor slanted) masts,
which at the time theoretically
gave the boat better handling while
heading into the wind.
The Hatteras boats quit running
up here in the early forties, and
with the modern new highway
down the Outer Banks, the old
"Hadeco" which Frazier Peele
operated between Hatteras and En-
|gelhard was discontinued.
But the Ocracoke boats continued
to operate, since this island was
still cut off from the mainland and
had to depend on boat traffic to
supply it with the everyday goods
needed by the folks.
Ocracokers have always main
tanned their contact with the main.
land via these boats. Now they
have the highway and modern fer
ry service, and vast changes have
come about in the last few years.
Some of the old-timers, reminisc-
ing back to the turn of the century,
remember the old steam packets
operating by the Old Dominion
Steamship line.
They recollect the old HHatteras''
that piled between here and Ocra-
coke with excursion passengers on
the weekends. She'd leave Saturday
night and return on Sunday night.
Portsmouth island was then a
thriving port which had sturgeon
factory, and a large hotel which
housed the river pilots which went
out to meet the incoming schooners
and steamers coming up here.
There was great competition a.
mong these pilots. 1t was first
come, first-served.

backing a passenger-cargo ferry
from New Holland over to Ocra.
coke, distance of some Is miles
and say they're ready to put up
the money if enough interest can
be generated and if a franchise
can be obtained.
They point out that the present
Sea Level to Ocracoke ferry,
which the state started operating
this spring, is located in an out-of-
the way spot for traffic coming
down from the middle of the state,
and that the New Holland route is
more readily accessible and is a
shorter run.
The Sea Level ferry takes about
three hours and Is minutes to make
its run, it is pointed out. 1t would
take approximately two hours or
less to make the run from New Hol-
land, cutting the time almost in
half.
And it would be deep water all
the way, too. The Sea Level ferry
has experienced difficulty in nav
igating treacherous shoals.
Highway 264 has been a main
artery from the middle of the state
to the North Carolina Outer Banks
area, and a ferry from New Hol-
land to Ocracoke would more read
lily serve the needs of the area,
than the present ferry at Sea Lev
ell, it is pointed out by those in
terested in this project.
Van Henry told his friends local.
ly that he had to give up the "Bes-
sic" because of a falling off in his
freight business. The operation of
the new ferry from Sea Level, plus
the fact that several other sources
were now going directly into Ocra-
coke with their wares, were con-
tributing factors.
The "Bessie" made one trip a
week to Washington until last fall
when Van Henry had to cut it
down to two trips month because
of less business.
This vessel had been plying the
waters between here and Ocracoke
for the past IA years or so, and
before her there was the William

which left New Bern bound for
Elizabeth City. And the steamers
that piled between here and Green
vile each day, and on up to Tar
boro where they would come and
go with freight and passengers.
Then came the railroads, and
much of the river traffic vanished,
with the advent of good roads
and quicker transportation facili-
ties, the old river steamers soon
made their demise and were re-
placed with boxcars and modern
day trailers.
Practically all of the fertilizer
used to be hauled in here on barges,
and they'd return to northern ports
with loads of lumber. The old bug
eyes and three-masters that used
to come up here to Washington
are now relics of a by-gone era.

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
BY WILLIAM MORRIS

Q. This may be somewhat
of your regular beat, but
maybe you can tell me the
origin Of the sign Of the three
gold balls for . pawnbroker's
shop?
A. This goes back to the
Middle Ages. The first money
lenders in London were Ital-
ians, including some members
OF the Medici family. This il
lustrious tribe, originally (as
the name implies) medicine
men, acquired It's coat Of arms
when one Of the Medici fore
bears, fighting for Charlie
magre. slew a giant who at
tackled him with a weapon
bearing three gilded balls.
Thereafter the three shining
balls were the Medicis' coat
OF arms, first in medicine.
later in money-lending. Today
OF course, they form the
symbol Of any pawnbroker.

instead of nephew" Is there
anything I can do to change
his pronunciation?
A. Relax and be tolerant of
the old boy. After all he may
remember you in his will.
Actually there's some justi-
fication for his pronunciation.
You see, our word nephew"
comes from the French "neveu"
and, even though the word

Norman Conquest, the British
haven't yet seen fit to make

@. How do you pronounce
the designation Of the men
