Wood went into a huddle to decide how they could keep the legal ball rolling against Rosenthal. Wood is representing Mecklenburg County Solicitor Kenneth Downs in efforts to get Rosenthal to Charlotte for trial on four counts of conspiring to bribe and attempting to bribe New York University basketball play er Ray Paprocky during the 1960 NCAA basketball playoffs in Charlotte. Circuit Judge John J. Kehoe said that the extradition warrant signed last month by Gov. Farris Bryant did not show the date of the alleged crime, and therefore the judge could make no determination of whether the statute of limitations had run out on the charge.

A A C'Av Youre Kennedy Supporters? But Its Over; He Won In 1960 Agnes Kendrick and 14 other Charlotte women created quite a stir as Kennedy-For-Congress girls at the state Democratic convention in Raleigh. They wore red Kennedy jackets and broad-brimmed straw hats decorated with Kennedy stickers all designed to attract attention. The girls were a little overwhelmed at the amount of attention they got, though.

People stopped in the street and gaped. Drivers stared while stop lights turned green, then red again. And at lunch in the cafeteria it was positively embarrassing. Everybody stopped eating to look and whisper among themselves. The girls didnt understand until an old gentleman approached their table, leaned over and whispered in Agnes ear: "ARE YOU STILL campaigning for Kennedy? he -asked.

Yes, said Agnes, and we will until hed elected! The old gentleman leaned over to whisper again: Its all over. Kennedy won. It happened in 1960! Agnes and the girls understood then. They laughed and laughed. Finally she said: But were from the 8th.

Congressional District!" Makes no difference, said the old gentleman. You should have heard it by now! Guess the whole world doesnt revolve around the Kennedy-Kitchin contest after all! world to pat a lid on it, but I must adhere to my oath of office. Friday's hearing was on a writ of habeas corpus filed by Rosenthals attorney. The writ seeks to free Rosenthal, who is under $1,000 bond, on the basis of the states alleged failure to connect him with the crime. Judge Kehoes chambers were the scene of a confrontation between the dapper Rosenthal and Frank Budin of New York, a codefendant in the Mecklenburg case who has turned states evidence.

Budin, whom authorities had been keeping in hiding because of alleged threats upon his life, testified Friday that he and Rosenthal met in the Hotel Charlotte the day of the West Vir-ginia-NYU game in the Charlotte tournament. They offered Paprocky money to shave points in the game that night and one the next week against Ohio State in San Francisco, Budin said. Shaving points, in sports parlance, is keeping the differ-ence in score between -two teams within a specified range. A gambler, for Instance, might bet that Team A will beat Team bat not by more than five points. A player could, if his team got too far ahead, make a couple of bad passes to give the other team a chance to reduce the score difference.

Paprockys NYU team won here but lost the next week. Budin said that while in New York he had talked by telephone to Rosenthal, who was in Miami. They agreed to meet in Charlotte, Budin said. They stayed in separate hotel rooms under -assumed names, he said. Budin is charged in North Carolina and New York with bribery of college basketball players.

He had pleaded guilty to the New York charges and testified against other gamblers, but he has not been arrested on the North Carolina warrant Rosenthal sat reared back in his chair and stared coldly at Budin as the latter testified. When Rosenthal took the stand, he testified that he had never been to North Carolina and that he did not know either Budin or Paprocky. Rosenthals attorney, Ben Cohen, asked the judge for a delay so Paprocky could be called to testify. Cohen said Paprocky would testify that he had never seen RosenthaL Rosenthal Introduced in his defense a "contract written on motel stationary that he said proved be was in Miami Beach on March 10, 1960, the date of toe alleged bribe offer. The contract was an agreement for him to buy a beauty shop for a man named Bush.

Rosenthal said that Bush is now dead. Rosenthal was asked to sign the name Frank Larry te a piece of paper so that toe writing could be compared with that on toe Hotel Charlotte register. He said that he was having trouble with his hand, which he said was paralyzed, and pointed to a scar on his left wrist The scar, which appeared to be an old one, did not keep him fr6m smoking cigarettes throughout the hearing. He did sign the requested name, one of his aliases, and the handwriting will be compared. The judge said that before ruling on Rosenthals writ of habeas corpus, he needed to determine: Whether Rosenthal was toe person charged in the warrant Whether he was in North Carolina at toe time of toe alleged crime.

Whether toe crime is within the statutes, Whether the statue ol limitations has He said he was reserving judgment on all four points until Monday. By PORTER MUNN Observer Staff Writer Charlotte reservists came home Friday from their active duty assignments to receive toe thanks of the community in ceremonies set for today as part of Armed Forces Day. The 55 men of the 80lst Signal Depot landed at Douglas Municipal Airport at 7:27 p.m. They were four hours late, but most of them forgot the delay when they saw the welcome extended by their wives, children and parents.

Army, Air Force and Hearings Will Seek Misdeeds By PORTER MUNN Obwrvar Staff Wrtttr Federal Judge J. B.

Craven has ordered examination of 111 persons to determine whether there have been misdeeds" in the management of the Charlotte Motor Speedway. Craven signed the order late Friday afternoon and handed it to Robert N. Robinson, speedway trustee, who said he would begin issuing subpoenas next week. Three pages of names of persons to be examined were made a part of toe court order. The names include those of past and present directors, officers, employes, stockholders, creditors and debtors, among others.

The order gives the trustee the right to determine whether the hearings shall be public or private. Robinson said that some of the witnesses probably would be examined publicly-and athers privately. He said, he had not aet the date for beginning the hearings and had yet to decide where they would be conducted. The hearings resulted from recommendations of Nathan Markowitz, an attorney for the Securities and Exchange Commission, At a hearing several weeks ago Markowitz told the court that an investigation could possibly reveal improper, even illegal actions involving the operation of the speedway. He said that the investigation might reduce the corporation's liability to its creditors by as much as $150,000 and that such an investigation could affect the failure or success of any plan for reorganizing the speedway corporation.

In March Judge Craven postponed a final hearing on reorganization of the corporation until the trustee could prepare machinery for the hearings. The order signed Friday set the machinery in motion by giving Robinson the sanction of the court and furnishing him the names of persons to be called up for questioning. Robinson noted that inclusion of a name in the list did not necessarily mean that the particular individual would be questioned. We will determine the order in which the persons on the list will be questioned after further studies of the corporation background, the trustee said. The speedway was placed under the supervision of the court Nov.

3, 1961. The court supervision was authorized to prevent creditors, who have $900,000 in claims against the speedway, from selling the plant at public auction. Charlotte and Monroe is adequate for traffic and largely free of choking roadside development. How to keep it that way was the subject of Fridays discussion at the Stork Restaurant ou Independence Boulevard. John R.

Knott led the discussion, substituting for Walter W. Hook, chairman of a special chamber study committee on Highway 74 development Hook was out of town. McIntyre told five members of the Monroe chamber executive committee that a countywide zoning study, at the request of Mecklenburg's county commissioners, would get under way this summer as first step toward zoning all of the county except the small towns. This, McIntyre indicated, will take care of zoning along Highway 74 to the county line. By HARRIET DOAR Observer Staff Writer 1 had lunch with Dennis the Menace, and the only one who got it in the shins was a young newspaperman who didnt realize that little boys keep swinging their legs at the table when their feet dont touch the floor.

"Anyway, he has on sneakers, said his aunt and traveling companion, Marie Hopper. Dennis, with bright blue eyes, a mobile face and hair bleached to a sunny tow color, was as polite a nine-year-old as anyone could ask for. It shocked the newspapermen at the luncheon at the Luau when they were addressed as sir Friday. Jay North, who plays the mischievous cartoon character on TV, has the aplomb that comes from long familiarity with his role in life. Hes a five-year veteran of television and has traveled miles in his Dennis-the-Menace career.

How long will his present role last? They say as long as the ratings hold up they dont care if he goes through college as Dennis the Menace, his aunt said with a laugh. Jays mother, Mrs. Dorothy North, works as a secretary (his parents are separated). His uncle, Hal Hopper, an actor ginger composer, gives him what coaching he gets in drama, not the usual coaching at all," his aunt explained. Jay has found time to write.

A couple of years ago, Jay saw a movie called The Buccaneers. But Ive been interested in pirates since I was two. he said, proving that an actors life does nothing to kill a small boys powers of exaggeration.

He grinned, Theyre taking me to a pirate place to eat tonight, he said. He referred to the Riverview Inn, eff Wilkinson Boulevard, which has a one legged man dressed as a pirate as host. His second interest is baseball. He plays on the lot la Studio City, where the episodes are filmed. He tikes to go to movies and watch television, and hamburgers are his favorite food.

Like other young actors, he studies on the lot, too, with specially trained teachers. Jay is allowed to work four hours and is required to go to school three hours. Hes a good student, and the studio schooling is well ahead of public school work, his aunt said. Half toe conversation at the table turned Into questions directed at Jay, all of which he answered easily and without self consciousness. When he found that the newsman beside him had come from South Carolina, he had a question of his own.

Who Invented South Carolina? he asked with interest. And nobody, but nobody, could remember who invented South Carolina. The Monroe visitors emphasized the large number of persons who come to Charlotte from Monroe to work or to attend sports or entertainment functions at toe Coliseum, which, one pointed out, a person from Monroe can reach more quickly than can a person from toe west side of Charlotte.

Determined to have lasting proof of this fish story, he took it all the way back to the mansion, gave it to the cook and told her to put it in the refrigerator because he wanted to havr it stuffed. Later she served the beautiful trout in six pieces. Shed misunderstood. She thought the governor had said he wanted to stuff himself with the trout.

But Mecklenburg and Union County are citing a happier maxim, the one about a Smidgens I WONDER WHY AN ARTIST HAS TO stitch in time, in looking at Highway 74, which connects Charlotte and Monroe. Officials of toe Monroe Chamber of Commerce met Friday with Charlotte chamber officials and City-County Planning Director William E. McIntyre to discuss a cooperative effort to.

keep the highway from 'becoming another Wilkinson Boulevard. Mecklenburg and Gaston already are working together to save whats left of Wilkinson Boulevard before Its entire length between Charlotte and Gastonia becomes hopelessly clogged with traffic and roadside development. consultants recommendations for zoning along Wilkinson are being considered by planners, with the prospect of setback requirements to provide for future parallel service roads. The 20 mile link between Across toe line, it will be up Union County to assure planned development. McIntyre said toe route already was zoned to within about four miles of the county line by city and perimeter area zoning.

The rest should be taken care of within the next few years as countywlda zoning gets under way, Zoning along the route probably would take into consideration the possibility of making the road a limited access highway in the future by requiring adequate setbacks. McIntyre said Mecklenburg would be happy to work with toe neighboring county in its efforts. State law requires that a county have a planning commission to make recommendations before it can zone, so Union County would have to set up such a body. V' I.
