Five in Youth Gang Seized in Yokin9
After Wrecking Their Getaway Car

Five youths claiming to be
members of a gang called THE
Saints" were captured today
after an alert hacker saw a yok-
ing. pursued the getaway car
until it was wrecked and then
set police after them.
Police said a 14-year-old
bossed the job. although all his
accomplices were older.
The five were rounded up in
less than an hour early today,
largely because witnesses along
the escape route remembered
their "ducktail' haircuts.
Mrs. Leila NJ. Boiling, Al, of
ATS F street NV, said she left
her elevator operator job in the
Washington Hotel at midnight.
She was waiting for a bus at the
southeast corner of Pennsyl-
vania avenue and Seventh street
NV. Two boys approached. One
seized her by the throat. the
other grabbed her purse, and
both took off afoot.

They said she was carrying only
personal papers.
The car also contained four
homemade blackjacks, police
said. They said the weapons were
fashioned of heavy rubber hose

ends.

This case involved an appeal by
the Government from a decision

Truman met here at a friends
home several months ago.
The two. along with Mrs.
Daniels, left the terminal in
a falkland Mr.. Daniel gave no
destination to the driver while
within earshot of bystanders. Mr..
Daniels left the group to attend
a meeting of the Pulitzer Prize
Committee.
Miss Truman and Mr.. Daniel
arrived in Zebulon Saturday
morning, and that evening were
guests of Mr.. Daniels and his
wife at Raleigh. Mr.. Daniels was
press secretary to President Tru-
man.
Miss Truman has spent most
of her time recently in New
York, where she is engaged in
radio and television work.
Miss Truman, a coloratura So
.prano, has made series of con-
cert tours in the last six weeks.
Made TV Debut in 1850
She made her debut on tele-
vision with the Ed Sullivan
Show in 1850. That same year
she signed a radio and TV con-
tract with the National Broad
casting Co.
Mr.. Daniel was graduated in
1888 from the University of
North Carolina. His first news
paper work was on the Daily
Bulletin at Dunn, N. c.. in 1888.
He moved then to the Raleigh
News and Observer, from 1884
to 1887. For the next six years
he was with the Associated Press
in New York. Washington, D. c.:
Berne, Switzerland, and London.
He joined the New York Times
in 1914. serving as a correspond
ent in London, the Middle East,

called from class and expelled.
His was the only name an
nounced in the disciplinary 40
ton by the university's Board Of
Trustees.
Three other students, the trus-
tees announced, have withdrawn
from school during the investi-
cation and will not be allowed
to return unless they are able
to clear themselves of charges
against them.
Wilson's dismissal had been
forecast by the student. He adj
dressed two rallies of pro-
segregation students and called
for a "top-to-bottom house.
cleaning" at the university in a
speech before a Birmingham
White Citizens Council last
Tuesday.
Attacks Denounced
The trustees today said he
had made "unwarranted and
outrageous public attacks" on
the integrity of the president
and faculty and officers of the
university.
These attacks, the trustees
added, represent far more than
the mere exercize of his right
freely to debate the question of
segregation"
The entry of Miss Lucy to the
university campus on February
started a series of events lead
ing to the February 6 mass DEM
onstration.
A 26-year-old sehoolteacher
and secretary, she had been try
ing to enter the school since
September. 1852. She was adj
mitted under a Federal Court
order.
She was the first Negro ever
enrolled at the 125-year-old
school.
Miss Lucy was expelled by the
university trustees February 20
when she offered no proof of
charges that the trustees and
other school officials had con-
spired with the mob to get her
out of school.
The trustees announced the
expulsion of Miss Lucy then, and
that of Wilson today, after ex-
planning that in ordinary cir
cumstances such decisions are
not made public.
Other Names Not Given
Names of other students in
volved in today's action were not
disclosed.
Trustees met informally yes
terday and again today before
John A. Caddell, a trustee from
Decatur. Ala, read the an
nouncement of action taken.
DR.. Oliver C. Carmichael, uni
versity president, had announced
several times that student men,
bers of the mobs demonstrating
against Miss Lucy would be
punished.
DR.. Carmichael and other
school officials said that many
outsiders were included in the
mass demonstrations.
Wilson said last Tuesday he
had heard rumors he would be
expelled and challenged school
officials to throw him out. He
denied having caused any vio-
lence.

House Group Clears
DC. Fiscal Program
$1OMiIIion
Tax Increase
IsAdvunced
By DON S. WARREN

The House District Committee
today unanimously voted ap-
proval of the Districts new $l2
million revenue program, calling
for an increase of $40 million or
more in new taxes and So million
increase in the Federal payment.
The action, taken in a closed
meeting, required only an hour.
although there was considerable
discussion of a number Of pos
sible changes in the program as
recommended by its fiscal sub
committee.
In the windup, however, Rep
Iresentative Smith. Democrat Of
Virginia, and Representative
O'Hara, Republican of Minne-
sofa, chairman and ranking mi
nority member of the subcom-
mittee, won a favorable report
of the bill without a recorded
objection.
Early Action Possible
Normally the bill would not
come up for action by the House
until the next District day, two
weeks hence. But Mr.. Smith.
who is head of the House Rules
Committee, said it is possible
this might be done earlier. He
said he would ask the Rules
Committee to consider a special
rule for the tax bill as soon as q
request was made by the chair
man of the House District Com
mittee, Representative Mcmillan.
Democrat of South Carolina,
If this is done the Rules Com
mittee would consider what is
called a closed" rule which
would prevent any hit-or-miss
amendments from the House
lfloor-customary in the case Of
a tax measure.
Mr.. Smith said he was ready
to press for action as fast as
possible because we want to get
rid of this problem.
Budget Bill Due Tuesday
The revenue measure is related
to the pending 1857 District
budget because the new revenues
are needed to pay off a deficit
this year due to city government
pay raises, as well as to finance
. proposed new spending and capt.
. tai improvements in the next
; year budget. The budget bill is
expected to be reported to the
House Thursday.
The purpose of the bill is to
provide additional revenue total
. ling about $9.7 million in the
!, fiscal year beginning July /, and
at least SILT million in the
, following fiscal year,
. The estimates are somewhat
flexible because of dispute
among officials as to just how
much will be received from a
proposed heavier levy under the
. Districts personal income tax
flaw.
!, Tax Exemption Sliced
Changes in the income tax
measure constitute the biggest
, chunk of the contemplated
, added revenue.
On what is called the conserv-
!, alive basis. these are expected
!, to produce an additional $3.4
million or more in the fiscal year
+ beginning July l and at least
, $5.3 million or $50 million in
1858 fiscal year and thereafter.
J Changes proposed include a
: reduction in the personal ex-
Iemption from $4,000 to $1,000
for the individual and $4,000 for
a married couple, with an al
lowance of $500 for each depend
1ent. Withholding will start Octo-
Der l under the new bill.
The bill authorizes an increase
in the authorized Federal pay
ment from $40 million to $22
million.
