WILL IT EVER?
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

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

throw and rebounding depart
ments with 61 free throws and
172 rebounds to his credit.
