Page 2 ‘ upreme Court Asked To Free ‘Author On “Reasonable Bail” _ TALLAHASSEE (®—The Florida preme Court was asked today to free William Bradford Huie from the Suwannee County jail at Live Oak on sonable bail” while reviews his contempt of court ntence Huie, author and) lecturer, was convicted Saturday by Circuit judge Hal W. Adams and sen- need to a fine of $750 and costs sor six months in jail. He chose the jail term so he could put the case before the Su. preme Court. Arthur J. Gutman, representing Huie, told the court the defendant could ‘not ‘be held ip contempt be cause the remarks he had made to Dr. Frank A. Fernay concerned the late Dr. C. LeRoy Adams and not Judge Adams, He said Huie had categorically denied statements attributed to him in open court and under com- mon law could not,be held injcon- tempt. Gutman also argued’that regard-+ Succoth, or the Feast of Taber- less of anything Huie might have said to Dr. Fernay he could not . be held in contempt because the psychiatrist was not qualified to bg a witness in the trial and the or- der appointing him to check Ruby McCollum’s sanity had been void- ed by Judge Adam He said Dr, Fernay was not li eensed to practice in Florida. Asst. Atty. Gen. Reeves Bowen contended the discretion of wheth- er Huie wag in contempt lay with the circuit judge. He told the Supreme Court that Huie was in the courtroom when Judge Adams appointed Dr. Fer- may to look into the McCollum ‘woman’s sanity. “He promptly went to Dr. Fer- nay and told him that he thought this woman was insane; that Dr. Adams,. Judge Adams, the state attorney and her husband were linked in a bolita ring and wanted her executed to seal her lips.” “He was trying to blacken Dr. Adams and to improperly influ- ence Dr. Fernay against holding her gane.” é Gutman told the court he was convinced Judge Adams was in- censed because Huie had attacked ‘ the character of ‘his good friend, Dr. Adams.” The two Adams are unrelated. Gutman said Judge Adams should have disqualified himself because of his friendship with Dr. Adams. Vietminh Make GalaParade .

Survivors Tell Harrowing’ Disaster Tale NORFOLK, Va. —Eleven sea- men, survivors of the capsized freighter Mormackite, were safely in port today with harrowing tales of two days floating helplessly in stormy, shark-infested waters. Lost in the disaster were. 37 of their shipmates, including the cap-| tain, Patrick J. McMahon of Val- ley Stream, N. Y. A Coast Guard board of inquiry sets out this morning to find a full | explanation for the sinking last Thursday, apparently caused by shifting of the ship's iros ore car- go. The 6,000-ton vessel capsized so quickly there. was no chance to send a distress message and crew- men were unable to get lifeboats into the water. The ship carried no life rafts. Heavy Seas The Mormackite sank under the brutal pounding of wind-whipped Atlantic seas 150 miles east-south- east of Cape Henry. The 11 survivors were brought to to Norfolk yesterday by three-Navy destroyer escorts. With them came the bodies of 12 who died. The re- maining 25 bodies’ were not found and presumably went down with the ship or disappeared more ter-| rifyingly among the sharks that | Bisa Zion Fo | Faraldo Gives Plane To Local CAP Squadron Civil Air Patrol commanding of- ficer, Major George Faraldo, last week donated a two place Taylor- eratt airplane to the local organi- zation. Faraldo, who is manager of Mea- cham Airport and owner of Far aldo’s Flying Service apprised the local CAP of his intention to give them the plane at a special staff meeting held at the Poinciana Com- munity Center Tuesday night. At that time staff officers aired their objections to the squadron’s organization were decided on. Meeting frequency and location were among the complaints made, and the group voted to change from weekly to bi-weekly meet- ings. On the first Sunday of each month, the squadron will meet at Meacham Field, and on the third Thursday at 8 p. m. a meeting will be held at the Poinciana lo. cation. It was during discussion of a new aircraft for the unit, that Far-| aldo said that he would give the Tayloreraft to the CAP. The plane the squadron had pre-| viously used, a government plane jon loan from the Air Force, was | recently taken back to Orlando by | the Florida Wing‘ headquarters. | The donated airplane will need/ work done in order for it to be re-licensed, and this activity will | offer good training for both staff officers and cadets. Learning avia tion by doing constructive work at the airport is one of the new ba- sie themes adopted by the Key West CAP. Faraldo is also allow- ing the squadron free tie-down space at the airport, and will pro- vide aviation materials at cost. The Sunday afternoon meetings will feature outdoor aviation clas- ses whenever possible. | This will provide cadets with an} opportunity to observe cloud types studied in meteorology class, to see | airplanes on the line, to work on component parts and to go for de monstration rides. When the wea- ther does not permit outdoor ac tivity, a building at the field will |be available for ndoor work. This building can also be used for the | showing of movies. Young people between the ages of 15 and 18 are eligible to join CAP. Adults are needed for staff officer positions. Details about either of these opportunities may be obtained by phoning 2.5422.
