SMITHFIELD (CCNS) -A
preliminary hearing for two
black men charged with the
double murder of Four Oaks
policeman Dennis Wilbert
Allen and Johnston County
truck driver Linwood "Big
Boy" Johnson has been
denied by Solicitor John
Twisdale.
Henry Smith, 29 and
David Ezra Stewart, 15, both
of Benson were charged on
June 10 and have been held
without privilege of bond on
what several , ; Johnsjon
County citizens say is cir
cumstantial evidence, .,
Exactly what informa
tion t Johnston , County
District Attorney John Twis
dale has to link Stewart and
Smith to the i crimes is'Oat
best sketchy, at this time.
Johnston County NAA
CP President Frank Penny
said that he had investigated
the matter and knew that
the evidence linking the
men to the crime was cir
cumstantial. Commenting ' on the
denial of Twisdale to give the
men a preliminary hearing,
Penny said; 4The manuever
was done so none of his
(Twisdale's) evidence would
get out before the trial."
Penny continued saying that
the only thing the NAACP
would do "is wait and see.
Right : now k: I . don't know
that any civil rights have been
violated." He also said that
efforts were underway by
Twisdale to offer a lesser
sentence of second degree

Already at the end of the
administrative appeal pro

available to Rufus was the
court. The Board notice
arrived at his mother's house
May 17, at 4:30 pjn., the
afternoon before the suspen

Unable to get a lawyer to
obtain an injunction or a tem
porary restraining order from
the courts before the next
day, Rufus went to school
with a note from his mother
explaining the circumstances
and that an appeal would be
made to the courts. Neverthe
less, Rufus was ordered off
the school grounds; he re
fused to leave, and was
arrested for trespass.
Fields refused to discuss
the suspension and the sub
sequent summoning of Rufus
Myers saying the matter was
subject to litigation.
For several years Rufus
and other, students in the
school system have been
taught their rights by Rufus'
mother, Otis, who was a

Ed Stewart, Executive
Director of UDICDC stated
that the project objective is
1 the development or a small
industrial park-with approxi

acre v range, for a
total of 22.5 net acres for
industrial development. The
project's marketing program
is geared toward attraction
of labor intensive ' light
manufacturing industry
through provision of all
necessary utilities and ser
vices for small-medium-sized
plants. By establishing the
park as a Class A develop
ment, UDICDC expects to
gain several existing manu
facturing tenants who are
growth oriented and now in
the market for additional
space for expanding manu
facturing operations. Many
companies with functional
linkages to . the Durham
metropolitan area have
' few options available for
their facilities.

This project will provide
for. site development, con
struction of water, sanitary
sewer and storm sewer sys

and railroad siding casement
to service the resulting fifteen
industrial parcels.
Stewart continuing.' stat
ed, "there has been a severe
shortage of available serviced
industrial land in the Durham
metropolitan' area for several
years, forcing . several small
manufacturing distributive
, establishments which, have
beeh seeking sites near
Durham to locate further to
the east and in the Raleigh
metropolitan area. To my
knowledge, there are four
teen industrial park pro
jects in the three-county
RaleighDurham SMSA. Only
three of these arc located in
the Durham metropolitan'
area, and one is completely
filled with no additional in
dustrial sites available."
Land absorption pro
jections for serviced indus
trial lanid t in ' the Durham
metropolitan i area indicate
a need for approximately
21 acres per year during
the 1975 to mo period,
and approximately 28 acres
per year during the 1981
to 1986 period. With the
quality of the anticipated
offering at the location of
the project site, the market
analysis indicates that this
project can reasonably ex
pect to capture between 35
; and 65 per cent of the
Durham metropolitan area
market during its first few
years of operation. , All sites
; within the industrial park J're
expected to be absorbed
within a three to six year
period following the project's
marketing program.
The primary circum
stances in evaluating the need
for the project, however, is
not the characteristics of the
metropolitan area industrial
land market, but , rather, the
need for additional em
ployment opportunities for
residents of the designated
Special Impact area.
ii According to Stewart
the project is expected to
result in the creation of 350
to 450 jobs within a five
year period after its initia
tion. These jobs will be hear
the residential neighborhoods
within the Special Impact
Area, thereby providing
employment opportunities

Exfromoly Succossful
by KELVIN A. BELL
On Thursday. July 21.
the Durham Chamber of
Commerce sponsored ' Its ini
tial "Durham First" tour. The
extremely well planned and
organized tour picked up
Durham residents at four
locations and took them on a
guided tour of many histori
cal areas of Durham
County.
The tours included North
Carolina Mutual, The Down
town Business District, North
Carolina Museum of Life and
Science, Durham County
General Hospital, Stagville,
West Point on the End (where
lunch was served by Shrimp
Boats of Chapel Hill Blvd.).
Duke Homestead and Tobac
co Museum, Bennett Place.
Duke University, North
Carolina Central University,
Research Triangle Park and -other

that the $5 tour is quite ex
tensive and is also highly
recommended.

One of the strongest moments of the TV pre
sentation of Alex Haley's "Roots" was the sear
ing scene, showing & white slave master lashing
the back of Kunta Kinte in an effort to make him
say his name was Toby.
It made me recall how the Reverend Jesse
Jackson and song stylist Roberta Flack acted in
concert when they eulogized Jackie Robinson
through that old spiritual "I Told Jesus That It Is.
All Right To Change My Name."
How many of you have taken the time to
remember Jackie Robinson? Well, it was thirty
years ago when Jackie Robinson accepted the
lashes of white hatred that came through name
calling, threatening letters, flying spikes, speed
ing fast balls thrown at his head. And the lonely
feeling of being part of a team and yet not being
able to stay in the same hotel with his team
mates.' It wasn't easy." of course, for a fighter tike"
t Jackie to turn the other cheek. To take a non
violent approach, - k
-' So you can say he was strong; Plenty strong in
the sense he set aside an ego trip to try and alter
an ingrained attitude. , . , :v
Jackie Robinson accepted' and absorbed
humilities, heartaches, and hurt because he was
determined to prove that if given a real oppor
tunity. Black people could compete and work
with whites on an equal basis.1" ,
What can you say about a man like Jackie.
Robinson who spends a lifetime making things a '
little better for his brothers?
I can say. he was my friend. . i
So can you. . .. ;
So. let's say thank you to a real brother and i
keep his spirit alive by sending a contribution of '
$1 .00 to the Jackie Robinson Foundation. The
fund is headed by his wife. Rachel, and will '
focus on assisting minority and economically de 1
prived children. Please, send a dollar to:
