The latest issue of U. S. News and World Report contains on the front page the question' “Will Kennedy Mystery Ever Be Solved 0 " The story inside reaches the conclusion that “perhaps" it will be when testimony from the inquest is made public. My guess would be that if it is ever solved, it won't be from testimony given at the inquest. The Kennedy clan with its in fluence and money has manag ed to keep the proceedings se cret. I would be the first to agree that the Massachusetts Supreme Court should have lim ited press coverage to a pool sort of arrangement, else there would have been no space in the courtroom for anyone but press representatives. I do not feel that the press and the pub lic should have been barred. Citizens of this country have the right to expect the judicial procedures of our land to oper ate in the open, no matter how small or large the issue in volved Once we begin closing the doors to our Courts, espec ially to the press, the chances of manipulation and chicanery increase We may not like to believe it, but there are un scrupulous judges and there are unscrupulous lawyers; a team-up of individuals of this kind, if immune from the scrut iny of the public, could result in less than a fair trial for per sons brought before the bar of justice There are many who criticize our judicial procedures. Admit tedly, they are not perfect but no one has come up with a sol ution to substitute anything bet ter. As to the Kennedy matter if he is as innocent as he claims and has told the truth about the death of his female companion, he should welcome an open trial into the matter to clear the air completely. Here in Newberry, we have had persons who were in some way involved in homicides, but who were not held by an in quest jury in connection with a death These persons, freed by an inquest jury, have asked for (’.rand Jury investigation, simply to be sure their names were cleared of any responsibi hty in connection with a death, at a level higher than an in quest proceeding. This would be a prope" course for Kenned} to follow 1 would fie UK lined to believe, however, that the inquest will be the end to Kennedy’s 'official worries, now all he has to do is set' that ever} thing remains as secret in the future as he has managed to keep it m the past With so man} women involved, that just might be hard to do DOMINICK TO BE CHAPEL SPEAKER The Kev (icorge 1' l)omi nick Chaplain Supervmor at the Ceorgian Clime Division of the Ceorgia Mental Health Institute m Atlanta will be the “C.uest Preacher' at the 11 15 a m. ser- vices in the A G I) Wiles Chap el on the N'ewberr} College cam pus this Sunday In addition to acting as train mg supervisor of chaplains at the Clinic, Pastor Dominick is the Director of the Resident Treatment Program for patients w ith alcohol and drug abuse pro blems.

Catawba takes tribe for ride The Newberry Indians' losing treak climbed to three games Monda} night after the Cataw ba club downed the Newberry basketball squad 74-64 in a tilt at Salisbury. N C The loss gave the Indians a 9-3 overall record and a 1-2 in Carohnas Conference action. Catawba’s record is now 4-3 and 6-7. The game was tied 34-34 at half-time but Catawba’s Garland Davis had a 12-point scoring spurt in the last half to give the host team the victory. Buddy Moore and Charles Gil roy tied for the scoring honors Some withholding to be increased Most taxpayers will find their paychecks in 1970 to be larger as a result of the Tax Reform Act of 1969. In certain situations, however, employees will find that the amount of their pay- checks will be smaller Instances of higher withholding occur for those taxpayers in $5,000 to $7,500 range, particularly mar ried taxpayers with 3 or more dependents. 11 M. McLeod. District Dir ector of Internal Revenue for South Carolina, stated that this sduatioti is the result of changes in the withholding rates due to the new law He went on to explain that taxpayers m these particular income brackets m the past generally had to pay additional tax when filing their individual income tax return I nder the new withholding rates tax withholding will more closely equal the individual's tax lia bility Mel.cod stated that the new 1970 tables in aim.i t all m instances will result in a better correlation between income tax iiabiht} and the total withheld under the new w ithholdmg rates toi the evening with 18 points ( arh , Stev e Hollingsworth was 'ccond with 16 points while Tom m\ Miller made 8 and Kevin Howard had 5 to round out the scoring for the Indians.
