BOMBING RANGE
LOCATION OPPOSED
IN HYDE COUNTY
Bonner Object to Threat TO Wild.
fowl and Business Interests Of
Ma+tamuskeet Area

WASHINGTON - Rep Herbert
Bonner of Washington Friday
bluntly told the Air Force that it
might as we'll look for another
site for bombing range which it
had considered placing at Engel-
hard in Eastern North Carolina.
The Congressman, chairman of
the House Merchant Marine and
Fisheries Committee, said he has
received many protests against En-
gelhard's selection.
In response, he has written Air
Force Secretary Eugene M. Zuck-
ert and Interior Secretary Stew
art Udall in strong opposition to
the proposal. He has also confer
rel with Air Force liaison men.
The livelihood of many persons
who operate motels, and cafes and
are hunting guides would be threat
ened by the proposed bombing
bombing range.
Bonner's letter to the Air Force
secretary reads as follows:
attention has been called to the
fact that the Air Force is consider
ing establishment of a bombing
range in Hyde County, North Car
DINA, near Engelhard.
81 write to formally and vigor.
ously protest the establishment Of
the bombing range in the area now
under consideration. For the rea.
son that the site is practically ad-
jacent to the U. S. Fish and Wild.
life Reservation at Mattamuskett
Lake in Hyde County.
"The establishment of bombing
range in this vicinity would totally
destroy the purpose for which this
wildlife reservation was establish
ed. On Mattamuskett Lake in the
migratory season there is the lar
gest concentration of Canadian
geese on the Atlantic flyway. In adj
dition, there concentrates on this
lake other migratory fowl, includ-
ing ducks of all types. Between the
town of Engelhard and the site
there is a small airstrip used by
the Civil Air Patrol.
Furthermore, bombing in this
area would destroy one of the fin
est areas for all types of local birds
and game. I am requesting the Sec
rotary of the Interior to file a for
NAL protest due to his supervision
over the U. S. Fish and Wildlife
Service"
In his letter to Udall, Congress
man Bonner pointed out that, as
Secretary of the Interior, it was
his responsibility to oppose the
location of the bombing range at
this site.
81 told him 1 hoped he would file
a strong, formal objection" said
the Congressman.

POLICE OFFICER RELEASED
IN BElHAVEN COURT

w. S. Clagon former, Belhaven
police chief was released by the
Belhaven Recorder Wednesday on
payment of SCI to Will Davis, who
withdrew charges of embezlement
against Clagon. Clagon, a former
member of the N. C. Highway pa
troll, had been charged with taking
money from Davis under promise
TO get him a chauffeur's license,
which had not materialized. Clagon
had formerly served in Plymouth,
and was a popular officer.
Clagon's firing, which left the
towns three remaining policemen
without a chief, resulted after Will
Davis complained the chief had not
obtained a chauffeur's license for
Davis as he allegedly promised.
Davis crippled condition doesn't
allow him to do anything except
drive a taxi and he wanted a chauf-
feur's license.
Davis told authorities he spoke
to Clagon about the license and was
told by the chief that if he gave
him SOL, Clagon could obtain the
license for him.
The cash was paid to Clagon,
according to the story told by Da-
Wis to authorities, and when he
didn't get his chauffeur's license,
he began TO make inquiries.
Solicitor C. r. Rich of Pantego
said officers made a check with
the State Motor Vehicles Bureau
in Raleigh and were informed the
agency had not received any COM
munication nor money from Clagon
in reference to Davis license.
Charges of embezzlement were
brought against Clagon.
When the incident was brought
to the attention Of the town board,
officials decided to discharge Clag-
on.
Meanwhile, the town board is
seeking another chief 10, replace
Clagun.

CARSON w. DAVIS stands out as
one Manteo citizen who has never
gone out in front seeking notoriety
and fame. Coming to Manteo as a
stranger more than SO years ago.
he didn't seek to take over political
leadership, but when worthy causes
were brought to his attention, he
was a generous contributor, and
made no show about it. He is per-
haps the only Manteo businessman
during the half century, who never
engaged in any occupations or en-
deavors, other than his chosen bus
mess. While others ran for office
or became contractors or ran mail
routes, he stuck right by his store;
no man ever applied himself more
assidiously, and none have been ap-
parently more successful. To have
uninterruptedly in bust
ness for over half century is a
achievement, for he
went to his store every day for
that length of time.

$4,000 FINE AND
FIVE YEARS FOR
SAMUEL @. JONES
Norfolk Machine Shop Owner Los.
es Appeal in $4,000 In
come Tax Case

Samuel G. Jones, 81, lost his ap-
peal before the Earl Warren Su-
preme Court Monday. Jones, owner
of the Berkly Machine Works. had
sought to evade a conviction for
failing to pay $277,00O in income
taxes.
Jones received a five year pri-
son sentence and was fined $4,000
by the court. The case has been
in court nearly two years, and in
May 1859 took ten days to try.
During the trial, then U. S. Dist.
Atty. John M. Hollis attempted
to prove Jones charged off per-
sonal expenses as business costs.
Figuring-prominently were his
290-acre Sajo Farms in Princess
Anne County and extensive COM
pany holdings on Ocracoke Island
on the North Carolina Outer
Banks. Another large residence is
now being rebuilt by Jones at Oc-
racoke.
Jones claimed the Ocracoke hold
ings-Berkley Manor, Samjo Man.
or and the Green Island Cunning
Club-were used to entertain pros
pective customers in lieu of nation
al advertising. He said they were
not used for his personal pleasure.
In the course of the trial Judge
Hoffman cited Jones, often testy
witness, for contempt. Hoffman
never acted on the contempt cita-
ton, however.
Jones' defense attorney, Gordon
E. Campbell, asked the courts mer-
cy and said Jones was "just living
by his own CODE"
Said Judge Hoffman: eff every
man were permitted to live by his
own code, we would have a country
that would be in terrible condi-
ton"
