3 Whites Indicted, 3
Freed In Rape Of Negro
CARTHAGE. NC. = a

CARTHAGE, NC. - CAMP
Three White paratroopers were
indicted last week for the rape
last summer of Negro mother
of three children. Three others,
also accused, were set free. The
men facing trial could suffer the
death penalty if they are found
guilty.
Indicted and scheduled to face
trial some time this week were
Harold L. Hill, Portland, Ore;
Alex c. Fielder Jr,, and Louis
Wilson Jr.
Their alleged victim is Mrs.
Lula Mae Artes, 10, the wife of
a soldier.
The three men cleared of &C
cusations were Eugene A. Shir-
ley, freed by the grand jury;
Floyd Breland, not released by
army authorities because they
doubted that there was enough
evidence against him, and Robert
H. Orheim, AWOL since Septem-
Der. 1t is possible that Orheim
may be prosecuted at a future
date if he ever returns to h e
army.
Mrs. Artes accused the six SOL
diers of attacking her August is,
near Carthage while they were
on maneuvers. She claimed that
they held her and an 18-year-old
companion with shotgun. Her
companion was Paul Williams,
son of a minister. She was on her
way home, from church at the
time.
Trial of the three indicted men
will be held in Criminal court be-
fore Judge Zeb Nettles of Ash
vile. If they are convicted an
automatic death sentence is re-
quired by law unless mercy is
asked.
Mrs. Artes reported that rape
to Sheriff c. J. Mcdonald right
after it happened. He said she
told him the men jumped from an
army truck and stopped her and
young Williams. At this time the
soldiers were on Operation
Southern Pine"
The Army's Criminal Investi-
cation department studied her
story after the case had been re-
ported, and weeded out the above
six men from among 10000 SOL
diers in the area at the time. 1t
reported that Hill, Fielder, Will
son and Shirley had confessed
their part in the attack. The local
grand jury, here, however, did
not issue true bill against
Shirley.

As Evidence Is Found
Of Narcotics Traffic

Federal narcotics agents and
Washington police are investigat-
ing reports that drugs are being
smuggled to prisoners at the
Women's Reformatory at Lorton,
Va, Donald Clemmer, director of
the Department of Corrections,
said today
According to Mr.. Clemmer, the
narcotics are being brought into
the reformatory by visitors from
Washington. A thorough search
of the institution failed to turn up
any dope, he said. but authorities
did find three hypodermic needles
No inmate would admit ownership
of the needles.
Officials were tipped off that
one man visiting his wife passed
the drug to her by means of a
rubber tube held in his mouth as
he kissed her goodbye. After one
meeting guards seized the woman
as soon as her husband left but
found nothing. They believe she
swallowed the drug.
Some Illnesses.
Several women recently were
taken mysteriously i'll at the re-
formatory. and it is believed that
their condition was brought about
by the use of drugs while they
were incarcerated.
I'VE have a lot of addicts at
the reformatory. Mr.. Clemmer
said. land some of the more seri-
Gus cases have been sent to the
Federal narcotic hospital at Lex
ington, KY. In the last four
months. SO inmates have been
transferred to the Federal hos
pital.
Mr.. Clemmer said that, when
addicts are sent to the reforma-
tory, if they are in bad shape, they
are put to bed and sedatives are
administered. But no drugs are
supplied them by the penal Of.

4 Suspects Transferred.
During the last several weeks
four women suspected of using
narcotics have been transferred
from the reformatory to Distric
Jail, where closer supervision il
kept over the prisoners and thei
visitors.
At the reformatory, it is i'm

I'VE run into quite a number

Some of them have only been on

If we had an addict law, we could
stop them before the habit be-
came deeply imbedded.
IF we had them in a hospital,
they'd have time to think things
over with medical treatment and
psychiatric guidance. We could
keep them from being confirmed
drug addicts and spreading their
disease to others.
I've seen young white girls stul i

can do to stop them before they
really get started.
"We raid dope pads in shacks

dozens of addictS lying around.
We can get the man who is giving
it out and anybody we actually
catch administering the drug, but
the others we have to turn loose.
We know the chances are good
that they're going to commit some
crime to get more money for dope;
but until we catch them in a
crime, there's nothing we can do
about it.
Sergt. Gabrys cited cases where
the court has proposed hospi-
tai treatment for dope addicts
brought in on other charges. The
addicts have refused to take
treatment.
That's why we have to have
a law to compel them to accept
treatment" he said. "Otherwise,

Taft Will Take Over
Majority Leadership,
Republicans Believe
Top Party Chiefs Deny
knowledge Of Agreement
With Senator KnowIund
By the Associoted Press

Republican leaders said today
they consider it likely that Sen
ator Taft will take the job of
majority leader in the new Senate
A close associate of the Ohio
Senator said he believes Senator
Taft considers the post of
majority leader the best way to
maintain sound relations with the
White House.
None of the party leaders
wanted to be quoted by name,
but they were unanimous in say
ing they knew nothing about pub
lished reports that secret agree
ment had been reached to make
Senator Taft majority leader and
Senator Knowland of California
head of the Republican Policy
Committee.
Senator Taft has been head OF
the policy committee for a long
time. And he said last week he
was available" for majority
leader.
Post Is Most Powerful.
The floor leader is the most
powerful figure in the Senate. 1t
is he who decides which legisla-
ton to call up for action and the
order of business.
Senator Bridges of New Hamp-
shire was Republican leader in the
82d Congress, but he says he isn't
anxious to retain that post when
Congress reconvenes January 3
He said he would rather become
temporary Senate president, which
would make him third in line of
presidential succession.
Senator Bridges did say, though
that he would take the floor leader
assignment if that was the only
way to avoid a fight. Senator
KnoWland has announced his can
didacy for floor leader against any
body but Senator Bridges. He sale
he'd step aside if Senator Bridges
runs for the job.
Knowland Refuses Comment.
Senator Knowland, asked abou
reports he would bow out in favor
of Senator Taft providing he go
the Policy Committee post, said
Il would not care to commen
at this time"
Republican leaders said tele'
phone lines have been buzZing fol
days in an effort to work out al
amicable settlement of the prob.
lem and to avoid a knock-dow
drag-out floor fight.
One of them told a reporte,
that even if a Taft-Knowlant
agreement is reached, there woult
be no guarantee that some on
else might not buck Senate
Knowland for the policy post.
It was generally conceded tina
Senator Taft could have the foo
leader assignment if he wanted it
One Taft associate represented
the Ohioan as believing thing

one if Taft got the floor leade,
post"
Under that setup, he said, Sen
/ ator Taft would be in a position
to direct the progress of legis
lation and at the same time main
tain steady relations with Gen
Eisenhower when he become
President January 20.
In addition to his policy-makin|
position, Senator Taft will be il
lime for the Craftsmanship of th'
Labor Committee. 1t is expected
too, that he will take a seat Of
the Foreign Relations Committe
in the next Congress. Up to now
i Senator Taft has devoted mos
of his legislative career to domes
= tic problems.
