Court Confirms...
( onviction Of
Police Chief
MACON, Ga,, July B—(AP) —
conviction of former Warner
Robins Police Chief L. A. Scarboro
on embezzlement charges has been
unanimously affirmed by the
Georgia Court of Appeals, Solici
+ors General Charles H. Garrett
announced today.
Garrett immediately charged
shat Augusta Attorney Roy V.
Harris was employed by Scarboro
in the case to “use his influence
with the Govermor” in an effort
to get him a pardon or parole
jrom his twe-year _prison sentence.
« But I do mot believe the gov
enor will intervene after ‘the
courts have determined all the
jssues rveally involved,” ‘Garrett
said. 3 :
as,carboro was convicted on four
ounts of an 11-count indictment
i Houston Superior court last
Ang. 5 and was sentenced on ‘only
two of the coumts. Judge A. M.
Anderson ruled out the other 10
qounts because he said typograph
jual errors made their legal status
goubtiul.
Chief Sentenced
The judge sentenced the former
police chief to 12 months on the
pubhcworlafonuqhiflmh@e:two
remaining embezzlement counts
after the jury recommended
Scarborc be punished as for a
misdemeanor.
Scarboro was charged with em
pezzling certain’ cash bonds or
fines posted by persons charged
with law violations. The Court «of
Appeals and possibly an appeal
er court i all its action.’
Garrett said he now expects the
defendant to file @ motion for a
new hearing before the Court of
Appeals and possible an appeal
o the State Supreme court but
1 think this decision will stand.”
Attorney John W. Bloodworth
of Perry, Calvin Oliver of War
ner Robins and Casey Thigpen of
Sandersville represented Scarboro
in the trial at Perry. Harris was
employed for the appeal and Gar
rett said it was Harris who “prin
cipally represented” ‘Scarboro in
the appeal to the higher court.
«] pelieve the employment of
Harris was a political employment
and that he is expected to use his
influence with the governor in the
defendant’s behalf,” Garrett said.
“But I do not believe the governor
will intervene after the courts
have determined all the issues
really involved.”
BEAVER “FISH”
in the early days of Quebec,
the beaver was considered ‘“fish”
on Fridays. This allowance was
made so that trappers could eat
the animal, w'thout sin, on that
day, because of ‘the scarcety of
footi in the severe winters.

ommendations of President Tru
man, but more than the $599,145,~
000 voted by the House,
The committee’s total is subject
to Senate approval. A joint com
mittee then must try to agree on
differences,
Projects 'approv‘ed, with amount
voted by House in parenthesis:
Navigation construction—
Apalachicola, Chattahoochee and

BERLIN, July B.—(AP)—Water

flowed into pipes in the western

The agreement to restore the
water supply came the day after
talks opened looking to the restor
ation of normal trade between the
Western and Russian zones of
Germany. :
The water and power shut-offs
followed a row over payment for
the services. The East claimed
payment was too low.
ROVING HIPPO
In South Africa, a 6000-pound
hippopotamus developed wander
lust and set out on a journey of
1000 miles, from Zululand to East
London, visiting cities; parks,
Monasteries, farms, and cabbage
patches en route. Untimely death
at the hands of a rifleman ended
the strange odyssey. .

Georgia’s Bid for Noturalist Fame
Here is a name to remember—Charlie Wharton. Chariie
is a blond, still in his 20’s, about 6 fe2t 5 and weighs 180
pounds. He is soft-spoken, keen of eye, guick on the mental
trigger, knows what he wants and is determined to get it.
Although he has yet 10 develop a full growth of beard, he
‘has already wut behind him a lifetime of thvills, adventure,
hard knoecks and excitement. He is a graduate of the State
Game & Fish Commission. He is a qualified ornitholegist,
herpertologist, wildlife technician, biologist, trout and bass
fisherman. A great deal of this experience was acquired
while employed by the Game & Fish Commission. He is a
graduate of Emory University, plays several musical instru
ments, is enthusiastic over hill william music, and in the
same breath, raves over the merits of opera and extremely
heavy music,
_ Charlie is a sare bet to bring famme to
_ himself ss emne of America’s grestest
g : naturalists. He can’t miss, He is the fel
} low who received his Avmy discharge in
' Japan, went back to the Phillippines and
collected the meonkey-eating vagle, the
4% 7 bush-tailed rat (about the size of a poodi¢
- % §ia dog) tarsairs, flying ¥enwr and many
: T other strange creatures of the wilderness
~ . never seen before in Amenica. ]
Charlie hired a plane and loaded his wiesd
cargo. He flew his pets right into New York
after many spine tingling experiences. Various zoos over the
country mow exhibit his prizes. He was heralded widely in
Life Magazine, and newspapers from coast to coast carried a
story of him and his picture. He returmed to his Awvondale
Estates home as if nothing had ever happened.
It was like picking up hot coals to get any information
from Charlie, but here are a few items painfully extracted
from him. He tramped in and out of jungles for weeks gather
ing his collection. On one occasion Charlie was shown an in
closure where more than 150 cobras were being held. He
calmly opened the gate and walked among what 4s generally
recognized today as one of the deadliest of all reptiles. The
natives could not believe their eyes. Charlie explains that
he simply wanted to study the cobras at close quarters. =
No Competition for This Job
Down on the Ogeechee River, I've paddled Charlie ¥
along the bank while he reached out and grabbed brown
water snakes as large around as your arm and up to five &
feet in length. Once we gently and quietly approached»"?
the bank where a huge oak snake was stretched in the
sun across a log. Deftly, he reached over and closed his *
strong fingers around the neck eof the startled snake. The ©
oak snake wriggled and twisted in a supreme effort to ©
to win its freedom, but Charlie holding the snake close to -
his face, whispered in a seothing veice, “Why hello, kittle
felow—how abeut going home with me?” He picked up a §
sack, dropped the snake into it, tied it at the tep und %
moments later we were seeking new specimens., We fin- &
ished with a burlap bag full of snakes. That fellow *
makes it Took easy.
I've seen this amazing character g:ck up rattlesnakes, cot
fonmouth moccasing and other snakes in :g:neral with no
more concern than you might pick up a stick. Once be lost
an argument with a rattlesnake in Rabun County and was
confined to bed for about a week. He was a mighty sick
youngster, but within two weeks, he was picking up snakes
again with the same reekless abandon. :
Don’t Argue With a Moose '
Last year Charlie, an expert photographer, was shooting
scenes in Wyoming. He stalked a moose and her Httle one,
getting much too close. The mother came to a halt, her hair
bristled and she snorted her anger at the picture-taking
intruder. Charlie was in open spaces—no nearby trees amd
no place to offer protecion. The aroused and angry moose
stared intemfly at Charlie, evidently trying to make wp its
mind whether or not to charge. Charlie’s life was certainly
in grave danger, but the enormous moose grunted and ram
bled off cicse'y followed by her little one. I have a feeling
that Charlie would have taken care of himself somehow and
Mrs. Moose would have come out second in the argument.
Space is far too short to tell all about Charlie, but if you
readers want more, send in a card.
At this moment, Charlie Wharton is deep in the jungles
of South America on a mission of importance for the U. S,
Government. e

Writers Organ
MOSCOW, July B—(AP)—The
Literary Gazette ‘today levelled
the strongest Russian attack yet
amade on Secretary-General Trygve'
Lie and the United Nations.
Commenting on Lie's role in the
Xorean case, the Gazette called
ihe Secretary-General a coward,
@ right-wing Socialist, a stooge ©f
Wall Street mnd an “abettor of
American aggression” who is help
ing wreck the U. N. |
Six members of the Security
“Council Who voted for military aid
‘to South Korea were called
i “ploody Todls.” The U. N, Secre
taviat was @eclared to be riddled’
with agents of the American Fefl
eral Bureau ©f Inwvestigation'
(FBIL).
Re-Election Prospect
(The wdttack 'may wreck any
prospect of Lie being re-elected.
His five-year term is up early in
1951. "The U. N. ¢harter requires
that the five permanent mmembers
©f the Security ‘Council—Russia,
China, the United States, Britain
zmil France—agree on A/ Noming
tion. Though Lie has insisted he is
mot @& candiddte, the energefic
Norwagisn has been widely men-'
tioned as possibly fthe only man
on whom all nine powers could:
agree. Russia has boycotted 30
U. N. ‘agencies since January 10,
but maintaing «€lose contact with
heattquarters wt Lake Success. Lie
had no womment 'on the Gazette
charges.
(Lie #lso has been attacked oc
casionally from the Western site
of the fence. On June 19, Sena
ators Bridges of New Hampshire
and Rnowland of California, both
Republicans, declared in a joint
statement that his attitude on the
seating of Communist Thina in
the U. N. amounted to “craven ap~
peasement” of Russia and he
should be ousted.)
The magazine mentioned the po
litical situation, declaring Lie had
abandoned his principles in the
hope ‘of being re-elected.
The Gazette is the organ of the
Union of Soviet writers and speaks
with considerable authority.
