Mother Is Shot
In Fami|yFight;;
Husband Held
Two Children Found
In Cor Parked Near
House After Inciden,

A young mother of two children
was in Providence Hospital today
with bullet wounds she said were
inflicted by her husband who
thought she didn't love him any
more.
Mrs. Dorothy L. Whitlock, %,
of Camp Springs, Md, is in fair
condition. hospital attendants
said. despite a .25-caliber bullet
which coursed into her neck and
up into her head early Sunday.
Her husband, Homer H. Whit
lock, %. a coppersmith at the
Naval Research Laboratory, called
Prince Georges County Police
about ! am, told them he had
just shot his wife and gave them
his j., address-the $500 block of
Edgewood drive in Camp Springs.
The scene is near Route S. about
8 miles east of the District line.
Victim Driven to Hospital.
Before Detective John w. Sidall
and Pvts. Lawrence F. Riddle
barger and Ralph Bond arrived at
the house, Whitlock had put his
wounded wife and their two chill
dren into the car and driven to
Providence Hospital, Pvt. Riddle
barger said.
At the hospital, Whitlock was
told he must remain there until
police arrived, but after learning
his wife was being cared for, he
broke away from a nurse who
tried to restrain him and drove
away with the children, police
said.
Meanwhile, the Prince Georges
police arrived at the Whitlock
mouse to find 1t dark and deserted.
They entered through a window
and found bloodstains on a bed
with a rs caliber automatic near
the stains.
Pvt. Bond was posted at the
house while the other two police
men began checking hospitals,
heading for Providence because
it is the nearest to the Whitlock
home.
Wife Tells of Argument.
There, Pvt. Riddlebarger said,
Mrs. Whitlock told them they had
gone to a party Saturday night
and on their return home an ar
gument which had been going on
intermittently "for a couple of
days" flared again.
The policeman quoted her as
saying her husband grabbed her
and shot her because he said I
didn't love him any more"
Whitlock was found. apparently
trying to hide in the woods near
a path about 200 yards in the rear
of his home. Pvt. Riddlebarger
said he found him on the ground
and told him, "I'll shoot you if
you start anything"
The policeman said he replied,
"You ought to shoot me-"
Children Found in Car.
The path near which Whitlock
was found led police to his parked
auto almost mile from the house.
In it, scantily clad, were the two
children, Warren, 2, and Beverly,
Z months. They are being cared
for by the paternal grandparents,
police said, after a neighbor kept
them overnight.
Whitlock. charged with assault
with intent to kill, is being held
in the Prince Georges county Jail
on a bond of $4,000. Bond was
set by Justice Of the Peace Jud-
son r. Creecy.
He returned home after leaving
the hospital. parked his car,
walked to the house and, appar-
emily, fed when he saw Pvt. Bond
stationed there.

Buying Power
Tips SIS Billion
Yearly

ATLANTA CAMP The current
buying power of Negroes in the
southeastern part of the country
tips the $500, OOO, 900 mark a
year, according to a report made
here recently. The figure repre-
sents an increase of $50 percent
since 1949, and is even more sur
prising since there has been a
seven percent drop in the Negro
population in this area over the
period.
The sharp rise in buying power
is explained by three factors:
1. A general rise in prosperity
throughout the region.
2. Negroes chances for employ
ment fluctuated both up and
down more than the economy as a
whole, which provided better-than
average increases in jobs.
3. Migration from low-pay
farm jobs to higher pay city
positions.
illustrating the latter point, the
number of Negroes On farms de-
creased 33 percent while the num-
Der in cities and towns went up
20 percent.
In 1889, one out of so Negroes
had monthly incomes Of $165 or
more. In 1949, almost one in every
| five made $3.50 a month and up.
while another fifth had between
$165 to $3.50.
Per capita, the Negroes income
tredled from $3.50 in 1889 to
bout $500 in 1949. Income per
person in 1949 averaged $500 in
rural areas and over $500 in ur-
| ban centers.
With this rise in income, the
Negroes buying power increas-
| ed. Where before the war, most
| families could afford only the alb
| solute necessities and a s%prinkling
of luxury items, the postwar pic
ture shows they were about to
obtain better housing, clothing,
household appliances and many
other items not necessarily essent-
lial.
Although there has been wide
spread migration to other sections
of the country, Negroes still COM
prise 27 percent of the regions

Triumphs In
roadwayRe Return
BY Gladys p. Graham


NEW YORK (ANP) A breath
less and highly e%nthralled audience
literally took the roof off the
house in a thunderous applause
given tothe reigning dance queen
katherine Durham the Great,
who appeared here along with her
c ompany in the ope nj n G
at the d way theatre
last week. The star and her dan
GERS were superbly costumed in
authentic apparel set to unique
choregraphy in typical Durham
decor.
The dance revue featured some
ofthe master craftsmen in the ter
psicorean field: Vanoye Aikens,
Lucille Ellis, Lenwood Morris, Will
bert Bradley, Claude Marchant
and Dolores Harper along with
the San-Souci Singers.
Part 1, Brazilian Suite" was
notable for it's dash, colorful cost
umes and the exotic timing and
rhythm of the dancers. "The Bra
lillian 10Th Century Quadrille,"
was particularly notable for it's
verve.
The orchestra under the direct
ion of Vadico Gogliano is to be
credited for carrying a fast NOV
ing performance to it's ultimate
conclusion. The percussion section
in the interracial band was highly
commendable.
Katherine Durham who return
ed recently from two strenuous
years abroad and who took in her
wake from the Haitian govern
ment, the LEGION of Honor" and
the Academic Palm from France,
is still the premiere danseuse,
Miss Durham brought all of her
primitive and creative abilities to
the surface in "Veracruzana." The
native dance ola Bamba" was
amazing for the intricate weaving
of pattern and choregraphy again
st an authentic tropical back
ground.
The event brought together one
! ofthe most continental audiences
noted by this reviewer in some
time.
The artist took numerous cur
tain calls and was showered with
flowers. She thanked the audience
and reminded them of the III
merous languages which the same
statement was made abroad in her
contact before dance worshippers.

Still in the throes of preseason

process Of sharpening their block
ing and tackling, learning and per-

and competing with teammates for

Coach Bob Cawrse and his corps
of assistants are working hard with
the boys in an all-out effort to
restore Shaw football to it's former
place of prominence in scholastic
grid competition and the results to
date have been very heartening.
The spirit of the squad is very high

position that the fourteen letter.

day. Last Saturday the local lads
tangled with East Tech in an in

field and the Cardinals were very
impressive in their debut against
other competition. The backfield,
consisting of Duane Gerasimos,

unfortunately, the East Cleve-

where defensive improvement is
sorely needed. However, the boys

and weaknesses and you can rest
assured that they will Be- working
hard to improve. The material is
good, the spirit is high and the
prospects are bright for a good
