With Raping Girl, II,
In Her Fairfax Home

Fairfax County police today
charged husky, 42-year-old ex-
convict with the rape of an IL
year-old girl while she was baby
sitting at her home Saturday
night.
Police said the attacker, iden-
titled in a warrant as Robert
Clark Floyd of Falls Church, shot
up the house in a burst of anger
when the girl fed after he had
criminally assaulted her several
times over a period Of several
hours.
The girl was attacked at her
home near Lake Bancroft as she
watched over her 4-year-old
brother and 6-year-old sister
about 8 pm. Saturday.
Police said the girl told them
a man had phoned earlier to
learn if the parents were home.
The girl said she replied that
they were not.
"I'Il Get 90 Years.
Today, police said they found
in a Falls Church rooming house
a woman who said she had heard
a man whom she identified as
Floyd make a phone call Satur-
day night. The woman said that
after the man hung up, he told
her, "If I don't ever see you
again, it's because I'll get SO
years for this"
The woman said the man
asked her to dial the number
because he never had learned
to read.
The girl told police a man ap-
peared at the door about an hour
after the phone call. He grabbed
her by the throat. she told police,
ordered her to do as he said,
and dragged her into a bedroom.
Police said the attacker put a
piece of clothes line around the
11-year1old girls neck to keep
her from screaming when he as
saulted her.
The girl told police she ran out
Of the house When the man fell
asleep. The girls home is in a
wooded section and there are
no nearby neighbors. She re-
mained outside a while and then
went into the basement, where
she hid.
Notice Bullet Holes.
When her parents arrived
home, they noticed bullet holes
on walls and ceilings in the
house. The father called police
and reported some one had fired
shots in his house.
When police arrived, they were
told of the rape. The parents,
meanwhile, had found the girl
hiding In the basement.
Police theorized that the at
tacker had awakened to find
the girl gone, became angry
when he was unable to locate
her, found a 3O-3O rife in the
house and sprayed the place
with bullets to frighten her.
/ The rife was found in the

Plan Beginning

The Fall Term

The Catholic schools of
Richmond, and the three
northern communities will
be open to Negro and White
pupils according. to Monsig-
nor j. Louis Flaherty, supt.
of schools for the diocese of
Richmond. Previously it was
announced that the Rich

would accept the eighth
grade. Van De Vyver, an
elementary school for Ne
groes in Richmond. Neither
is there Catholic schools for
Negroes in Roanoke, or the
Arlington Fairfax Church

elementary school.
Father Flaherty states
that IL Negroes have already
enrolled for the grade school
and one for high school in
Roanoke.
Father Blakely, of Nor
folk, reports that a Negro
child has been in a hereto
fore all white school, since
November. He states that
the change was made before
the Supreme Court ruling,
and consequently, had no in
fluence upon the change in
policy. Father Blakely says
that it has been the custom
of Catholics to make educa-
ton possible for all Catho-
lies, where ever they might
be whether they be Negroes,
Orientals or Indian.

1.-TWO Loves!' One Too Many

Miss Pauline McCaine, 418
Seventh Ave., N. E., was
hurt Saturday afternoon
when she was beaten about
the head and shoulders by
an admitted rival, Miss Mel
lie Harper of Franklin ST..
in Vinton.
1t seems that Sam Tate
has had two loves, and that
one caught up with the
other. When Nellie decided
that he (Sam) didn't need
but one, she proceeded to
do something about it. She
went to the house of her
rival, Miss McCaine, called
her out, and began beating
her with an iron pipe. Miss
McCaine received bruises
and decorations on her head
and left side, but was re-
leased from the hospital fol-
lowing treatment.
Tate, the cause of the al
tercation, arrived on the
scene and took Miss Harper
away. At this writing she
had not been apprehended
by the police.
