STADIUM STUDIED
AS CONCERT site
Afternoon Musical Event
OF April II May Be
Held Outdoors

The possibility of the children's
concert by the North Carolina Sym
phony on April II being held in
Legion stadium was revealed last
night following a conference be-
tween Rupert Bryan, principal OF
Bradley Creek school, and David
Ashburn, representative of the
orchestra.
In the event the stadium LOCATION
is used it will mark the first time
that a program under sucn condi-
tons has been presented by the
orchestra, according to Ashburn.
Should the concert be held at the
out door site on the afternoon OF
April II instead of in the New Han
over High School auditorium, where
it was originally scheduled, it
would enable all Of the school chill
dren in the county to attend.
The proposed change met with
instant approval by the local Of
ficials Of the symphony drive, as
well as with officials in charge OF
the orchestra.
Pointing out that 5000 more
school children would be able to
enjoy the musical event here, H. M.
Roland, superintendent of schools,
added his endorsement to the
change in location.
Roland, Bryan and Ashburn will
tour the stadium today to deter
mine what type of public address
system will be required to adapt
the outdoor arena as a proper To-
cation.
Subscriptions for the adult even.
ing performance on April II are
now on sale at both Yopps Piano
company and the Jewel Box. Il
was reiterated that the sale Of
'Anee subscriptions, which entitle
adults to attend the concert, is max
nag possible the free afternoon per
Torrance for the school children
of the city and county.

Following Mrs. Bryant's session
with the board, an inmate, David
E. Barton, was called into the
room.
Barton told of being confined to
his bed for five weeks where he
received daily attention from the
nurse but complained that neither
of the Carriers came to visit him
more than twice during the en-
tire time.
He explained to the commission
ers that he had come to Whining
ton in a taxi at his own expense
and had been under the treatment
of DR.. Robert M. Fales.
CDR. Fales and the new nurse
(Mrs. Smith) got me up" he said
in referring to the fact that he
was now able to be up and about
the home.
Barton was highly critical of SUI
perintendent Carter. He said that
one Of the few times he visit
ed him during his confinement
that he used profanity.

when Carter cursed at me-"
The only other inmate called

North Carolina 10 Push
Prosecution Of I Held
In Prisoner kidnapinq.
By the Assoeiosed Press

JACKSON. N. c., May 28.-H
The State of North Carolina, fol-
lowing up fast-breaking devel-I
opments In attempted mob ac-
ton against a colored youth
here last Friday, today prepared
to bring seven white men to trial
on charges og kidnapping In the
affair.
Names of the seven, arrested late
last night, were withheld by author
tiles, who limited that there might
be additional arrests and that dis
closure of the names would inter-
fere with the investigation. The
men, however, were released on
bonds of s2,500 each.
A warrant for the seven, naming
each of them on three counts, was
issued at the Office of Magistrate
j. H. Boone, only a short distance
from the Northampton County Jail
where an armed and masked band
seized Goodwin Buddy Bush, "a,
shortly after he was arrested as a
suspect in the alleged attempted
attack on a young white stenog-
rapher in nearby Rich Square.
FBI Reports Confession.
The developments last night fol-
lowed closely an announcement by
the Federal Bureau of Investigation
in Washington that a confession
had been obtained from one of the
members Of the mob and that he
had implicated seven other white
persons" The FBI, reporting there
was no indication of Federal law
violation, said the information had
been turned over to authorities in
tbs Northeastern North Carolina
county.
The men, Solicitor Ernest Tyler
said, are charged on three counts:
1-Conspiracy to break and enter
a fail with intent to injure or kill
Bush.
2Breaking and entering jail
with intent to injure or kill Bush.
3Kidnaping.
Suspect Held in Central Prison.
Bush, young sawmill worker, Is
being held in Central Prison in Ra-
leigh where he was rushed after sur
rendering himself to officers Sunday.
He gave himself up after making
a bold break for freedom just after
the mob had whisked him from the
Jail. After making his getaway, he
hid without food for 48 hours in the
dense pine forests surrounding this
town.
News of the arrests was greeted by
Gov. r. Gregg Cherry of North Car
olina with the statement, I'm glad
they're making some progress =
and I hope they'll get enough evi-
dence to sustain convictions" Gov.
Cherry previously had ordered every
available member of the State Bu- |
reau of Investigation into the case.
Meanwhile, Bush was interviewed
by Herman L. Taylor, colored at
torney OF Durham who said he had
been retained by the National AS
sociation for the Advancement of
Colored People to defend Bush in
the attack case The lawyer quoted f,
Bush as denying the charge.
Anti-Lynch Bill Offered.
Almost simultaneously with the
FBI announcements that mo Fed1
eral law covers the North Carolina
case, an antilynching bill provid-
ing heavy fines for persons found
guilty Of mob violence or aiding
lynch mobs was introduced In the

The Church services have been
nicely attended during the past
two weeks. Quite few men,
bers, who are living in other cities
and towns are here visiting
friends and relatives through the
holidays. Just a short while ago
there was an interesting bap-
thing ftam hhe New Liberty
Baptist Church, pastored by Rev.
w. L. Jones'. This service was
held in Mt. Zion Baptist Church,
pastored by Rev. P. F. Parker.
This Church has finished fine
years work in financial way.
They rallied on the third Sunday
in October, raising twelve hundred
and eighty three dollars and eigh-
ty three cents ($1283.83), for the
benefit of Church building. Now
they are all set and. ready for
another years work. The church
changed secretaries for 1947. This
has been the first time in thirty
four years. Our hats are off to
the passing secretary, Mrs. A. G.
Williams. When a group will
elect one person thirty-four times,
that says that his or her services
has merited credit. Mrs. Williams
turns a clear record cher school
and remains on the faculty.
