YOUNG HOODLUMS
A BIG HANDICAP
TO THE JAMBOREE
Violence and Destruction Of Prop
erty Discharges Motel Own
ers From Future Cooperation

tude OF several m0Cel owners who
say they do not expect to open
for business during the Jamboree
next year. 1t all came about from
a wave of lawlessness which pre-
vailed last week end when heavy
losses were sustained by destruc-
ton of property, mostly by visit
ing teen-age hoodlums, who wreak-
ed vandalism on furniture and fur
nishings, and engaged in brawls
and disorderly conduct.
One man was killed the result
of alleged drunken driving, and
Recorders Court in Manteo on
Tuesday had more cases for this
period than during the past month
altogether. Seven cases have been
continued, and 81 were disposed of.
Fines totaling about $500 were col
lected. Four young men out of
Norfolk were tried for damaging
the motel property Of Mrs. Ray
Ives. Although $50 restitution had
been made Mrs. Ives, Judge Baum
levied $25 fines against George
Tebart, Jr., 10, of 230 Chester St.,
Phillip Edward Cole, 10, of 416
Ocean View Ave, E.
Two others were found not gull
ty: Kerring w. Kent, 10, of 1868
Edgewood Ave, and Paul F. Ken
nington, 24S Ethel Avenue A fifth
defendant, James Thos. Wiley, 81,
of 119 East Chester St., had been
allowed to go free under $25 bond,
but he failed to appear, and his
bond was forfeited.
In most cases of disorderly con.
duct in motels, no charges were
brought and the trouble-makers
were bounced, or allowed to make
good the damage, so these instanc-
es did not come to court.
Geo. F. Midget of Norfolk ap-
pealed his fine Of $500 for driving
under the influence, and was bond
ed in the sum of 5000 for Superior
Court.

ginia Beach, Larry w. Smith of
