ing followed. He denied the boys
had been making a disturbance
or had been drinking.
To that point, the testimony
of the five boys put on the stand,
Drake, Charles Kelly, Bobby
Buchanan, Theodore Hartung
and Allen Wright, agreed. From
there on there were minor diff
ferences, but in the main the
boys agreed that Mr.. Bayne
called out Il told you fellows to
clear out" and then shot. After
the first shot, most of them said,
Mr.. Bayne called out something
to the effect that there's one in
the hood and I've got some for
each of you" It was after that
that young Hartung called out,
Don't shoot, we're leaving,
they testified. It was when they
were headed out into the high
way that a third shot was fired
which went through the car
door and struck young Drake in
the thigh. The boys agreed that
a fourth shot was fired which
struck the driver on the side of
his left foot.
Drake subsequently received
treatment from DR.. c. r. Brown
in Manteo and was taken to a
Portsmouth hospital, where he
remained from Sunday morning
to the following Wednesday.
After testifying to the extent OF
the injuries, DR.. Brown said
when he presented his bill, the
boys said they had only 50 in
the crowd. The youths, however
denied having said this and
claimed they had more money.
Mrs. Charles Kelly of Ports
mouth, mother of one of the
boys, said her son came to Mays
Head on Friday, but she knew
the other boys were going to
meet him and stay in the un-
finished cottage her husband is
building at Kitty Hawk. Mr..
Kelly, she testified, returned to
Norfolk after the boys arrived.
She was not on the beach that
day OF night.
In cross examination, the de-
Tense brought out that several
OF the boys are nearly six feet
tall and weigh as much as a
man. Later this was used to
show that Mr.. Bayne could not
have known, in the dark, wheth-
er the people on his parking lot
were men or boys.
MIR. Bayne testified that he
worked that day in the cafe
about Is hours and that after
closing it he had gone to bed
and to sleep. He was awakened,
he testified, by a loud banging
noise, that he called out Ito
quiet down and clear out" The
noise stopped for a few minutes
and then he heard voices. In
the dark, he went to the living
room, got a rifle from a rack,
picked up five cartridges and
put them in a clip and went
out on the porch. He said he
could see a car and a group of
people, whose ages he could not
guess, and he warned them again
to leave. When they did not do
so Immediately, he said he fired
twice at the concrete below,
without intending to do more
than brighten them away.
He testified that as they
headed out to the highway, one
of the boys called out an un-
printable epithet, but that he
did not shoot until the car start
ed back toward him (the boys
had testified that the engine
died and the car rolled back).
MIR. Bayne said he could not re-
member shooting but three
times and did not find but three

munists to cross into North Ko-
rea Monday to ease the home
ward journey of Allied war pris-
oners.
The mercy teams will carry
comfort packages and medical
supplies to U. N. men held captive
in bleak North Korean camps.
The exchange of prisoners be-
gins Wednesday (Tuesday night
EDIT, two days after the Red
Cross workers go north to aid the
captives.
This will be the first time since
the Korean war started more
than three years ago that the
Reds have allowed American and
other u. N. representatives in
Guiding the Red Cross to enter
Red-ruled territory on this
peninsula.
This afternoon, delegates from
the North Korean and Chinese
Red Cross societies yielded to
requests and said the teams
could start moving out Monday.

Japan was "just another case
of stupidity at the Pentagon or
the State Department, or both. "
Senator Sparkman, Democrat,
of Alabama, a member of the
Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee, said, II think it's a mis-
take to let the Russians and
Communists get the jump on us
so many times. It puts us con-
tinua1ly in the position of
answering Communist propa-
ganda when we could be out first
with the real facts"
Senator Flanders said pro-
Communist or even neutral
peoples could "get the impress
sion that the Soviet is telling
the truth and that we're trying
to get out of an incident"
Both Senators expressed their
opinions in interviews.
The United States case on the
B-50 was bolstered by the testi-
mony of the sole confirmed sur
vivor, Capt. John Ernest Roche
of Washington, who was picked
up by a United States destroyer
after % hours in the sea.
Capt. Roche said in Tokyo
early today the American plane
was attacked without provoca-
ton" by one or two Russian jets
at a time when there was mo
possible chance" it was closer
than 40 miles to Siberia.
Red Scouting Planes.
In the midst of the furore
over the latest two shooting in
cidents, Air Force sources said
Russian planes have appeared
about II times in the last year
over che far northern reaches
of the American continent and
Greenland and conduct scouting
expeditions over Japan on the
average of once every two weeks.
Last March Is, A United States
B-50 was attacked by Soviet
MIG fighters over Arctic waters
some Is miles east of the ST.
berian peninsula of Kamchatka.
Neither plane was damaged.
At that time Senator Fland-
erS sharply critized the Air Force
for issuing "a false report" in
stating the bomber was on a
routine weather reconnaissance
flight off the Russian coast.
