Arcade Building That's where the deadline will be met Davis has said his clock will be used in determining when noon arrives In previous elections there has been some question about whether or not a candidate got his money to the party chairman before the noon deadline depending on whose clock or watch was consulted Davis said the use of one clock will settle the issue It is not unusual for candidates to wait until the deadline before formally entering a political race In the 1964 primary incumbents Hyman Rubin William Ouzts and real estate man John Adgcr Manning entered the council race prior to the final day But shortly before noon Columbia attorney Troy Hyatt became the fourth candidate to enter the race Once before a candidate wailed so late there was a question about whether or

right of way after an accident the Supreme Court ruled today It affirmed a Greenville County personal injury suit brought by Mrs Barbara Thomasson against Mossie Howard Mrs Thomasson and her young son were traveling on US 291 By-Pass in the city of Greenville when Howard's car pulled out of a secondary road The woman testified that while she saw the Howard car she had no idea it was going to travel all the way to her middle lane Howard claimed Mrs Thomasson was guilty of contributory negligence in that he had entered the highway' and she should have then yielded right of way to him He admitted seeing the Thomasson car approaching when he stopped at the intersection He claimed her auto was a block away when he stopped and did not constitute an immediate hazard Mrs Thomasson said she tapped her brakes lightly when Howard's car came out of the intersection and that when she saw what he was going to do she hit the brakes hard and pulled to the right too late to prevent collision with the right rear of the car Testimony indicated her car showed 78 feet of skid marks The Supreme Court stated that is was reasonable for the Greenville County Jury to assume that action created an immediate hazard that required him to yield right of way General Says Viet Cong infiltration Aided By Land Church the middle of February He is currently rector of St Episcopal Church in Newport Ark The Rev Mr

By Builder Lender The reason the Wet Cong have been able to infiltrate American defenses in Wet Nam is two-fold Lt Com Louis Tfuman commanding officer of the Third Army told a meeting of the Association of the Army at Ft Jackson Thursday night "You may wonder how they can Infiltrate at least 4500 sot diers into South Viet Nam per month plus supplies when we supposedly have control of the air and seas in the he said "The answer is two-fold Part Is geographic and the other is the South Wet Nam government's lack of ability to control the different areas of her country South Wet land and sea borders are ideal for infil tration To seal both of these would be the equivalent of attempting to build and guard a fence au the way from Washington to Los Angeles "The sea border about 1600 miles contains countless coves and inlets capable of concealing Junks and sampans The land borders about 1000 miles contains hundreds of miles of dense Jungles and rugged mountains ail well suited for infiltration Once supplies cross into South Viet Nam the Communists impress native porters to move them wherever required Truman said "In terms of human assets the Wet Cong control or influence outright about 50 per cent of the populace The remainder is usually pro-government oriented" the general added By ANNE MARSHALL Record Staff Writer Perjured or false testimony at an original trial not immediately attacked in the trial of the case cannot later be called extrinsic (Mentioned fraud the Supreme Court ruled today The opinion resulted from the appeal of two Florence County cases concerning the construction of a home The basic bone of contention between the companies involved in the construction and Mr and Mrs Harbert Corley was whether the home had been given final approval by the Federal Housing Administration which was to insure the loan on the home Appealing the lower court action was Centennial Construction Company which built the house and Lester Brothers Inc which had made the Corleys a (15200 construction loan The appellants were the victors before the high tribunal because the court ruled that while a witness in the lower court testified once that final FHA approval had been given the structure and later that approval was not final the conflicting testimony could not now be proved deliberately false The court noted that testimony shows that the Corleys knew before the trial of the rescission action that FHA approval had not been given The sole contention of the Corleys in the Supreme Court was that the Judgment against them in the rescission action was based on false testimony given in behalf id the two companies allegation that a witness perjured himself or gave false testimony is insufficient because the materiality of the testimony and the opportunity to attack it was open at the trial "The respondents were fully aware according to their complaint and their testimony that FHA approval had not been given in the construction of their dwelling should have but did not offer evidence relating to this issue which could have been considered in the original the Court ruled It was pointed out that assuming the testimony false constitute only instrinsic (unexplained) fraud and it furnishes no ground for setting aside the judgment obtained in the original The Corleys refused to take possession of the house or pay any more money on the ground that the dwelling was incorrectly located on the lot that the ground floor area was less than restrictive covenants of the College Park area required and that it had not been approved by the FHA They further alleged other defects in construction which Centennial claimed had been corrected The Supreme Court ordered the case back to Florence County for further proceedings 73 Miles Richland
