Six White
Paratroopers
Jailed For Rape

CARTHAGE, N. C.-Extensive
detective work has finally broken
the recent "Scottsboro Case In
Reverse"-siw white paratroopers
from Camp Campbell. KY, have
been arrested and charged with the
unpoint ADJUST Is rape of Mrs. Lulu
Mae Arts, mother of two children,
and wife of soldier.
Mrs Arts was visiting relatives
near Carthage, on the eve of the
assault, and was returning with a
group from church when seven
soldiers travelling in an Army
truck stopped them.
At gunpoint the soldiers forced
her, another woman, and mini
ster's young son into the back of
the truck The other woman man
aged to free herself from the sold
iers and flee But while a seventh
soldier held the youth at bay with
a rifle, the other six raped Mrs
Arts.
The CTS, who were part of an
advance force in the Southern
Pine Army Air Force maneuvers
in the Carolina war games in Aug
ust. have been brought 70 Fort
Bragg where they may face mill
tary court. They clay also stand
civil trial in Moore county Super
Tor court.
Officers have found cartridges
which had been fired at the scene
IF the crime, and if necessary, car
trace them to the individuals who
carried the weapons. This may not
be done, however, unless the men
who have not been moved are
tried in a civilian court, and re-
pudiate their confessions.
Earlier an Army official said it
was unlikely the men would be
caught because Mrs. Arts was APP
parently too frightened to cooper
ate with the Army's Criminal In
vestigation division.
However, she and the boy. Paul
Williams, finally maEaged to in
form investigating officers that the
men had been paratroopers.

Army Holds
Soldier Who
Kiss Killed

RICHMOND, Va. - A 28-year-
old paratrooper wanted in the muir
der of his mother, has been taken
in custody by Army officials at
Fort Lawton, Seattle, and Rich
mond police have begun proceed
ings to have the soldier returned
to stand trial.
Lawton authorities wired detec-
tives, last week, saying that Pfc.
George A. Barlow. stationed with
the 101st Airborne there, had been
held on arrival.
Barlow's detainment crimaxed a
1O-state manhunt which began, Oct
IL, when his mother, Mrs. Lucy B.
Hicks died in a Richmond Hospital
two days after he allegedly struck
her fatal blow during dispute in
her home at 5I3 N. Fifth ST.
Following the quarrel, military
police placed Barlow on train for
Seattle, after Mrs. Hicks pleaded
that her son not be prosecuted for
striking her.

Conservation service technicians are
helping these co-operators with the
soil conservation district with the
improvement of the irrigation sys-
TENS as they desire. Better control
in the application of irrigation wa
ter has been attained where this is
done, and irrigation is done in such
a way as to reduce teaching. I'M
proved crop rotations, including leg
umes and grass, are included along
with fertilization to improve soil
structure and fertility.
Irrigation Easier
Simons and Orr are two who have
completed this part of their conser-
walton job. Both agree irrigation is
easier, and while Simons has no
previous crop yield comparison to
make on land that had not been
badly seeped, Orr has.
''We have better control over our
water now," Orr remarked, land
have adopted system of lighter
and more frequent irrigations. Yes,
production has increased, and we're
getting these larger crops with less
work. I guess that shows well
enough that we were irrigating too
heavily before"
Thus, this venture by co-operators
with the Greybull Valley soil con-
servations district has a happy re-
suit. 1t has conserved much land
actually, it is reclamation of some
land and prevention of damage to
other land, for the seeped area was
growing relentlessly.

learned where clay dikes extending
up from below, through the porous
subsoil almost to the surface, him
dered the movement of water at
places. These dikes are dams, as
surely as if they had been built
above ground, and the only way for
excess water to escape was to find
a way around them or rise high
enough to go over them.
Main Drain
The way the system is laid out is
for the seven-foot-deep main drain,
beginning at the upper side of the
Simons farm, to proceed generally
on the downstream course, cutting
through the clay dikes. The laterals
are laid out across the direction of
the underground water movement
on each farm, intercepting it and
preventing it from reaching land be-
low. A lateral located just below one
of the underground clay dikes, for
example, would be of little use to
farm.
Working through the soil conser-
walton district, the farmers hired a
dragline and operator to do the con-
struction work according to the
specifications drawn up by the SCS.
AS work was done on each farm the
farmers paid for it according to the
benefits they had previously agreed
they would receive. Part of the
money spent was recovered through
PIMA payments.
