Brunswick Negro j
Leader In Riot
Lecn (Scooper) Gause, Con- j
. victed Last Month For i
Murder Of H. Jim Wil
liamson, Starts Trouble
At Insane Hospital
Leon "Scooper" Gause, Bruns
wick negro, is said to have been
one of the two leaders in an
inmate riot that broke out last
week at the North Carolina hos
pital for criminally insane neg
roes. Some 25 of the inmates of
the hospital joined up with Gause
and another leader in an obvious j
attempt to wreck the place.
Gause and seven other rioters'
have been removed from the1
Goldsboro hospital to State Pris-1
on in Raleigh. Such action had!
been recommended by Dr. Ira C.!
Long before this trouble broke j
out.
Hospital officers, State High
way Patrolmen and Goldsboro!
police quelled the riot after it i
had been in progress for two I
hours. The officers had to use I
tear gas to force Gause and'
seven others from the recreation j
room, where they had barricaded j
themselves, refusing to come out
when ordered to do so.
Although he played insane af
ter murdering Jim Williamson,
Shallotte farmer, two years ago,
a New Hanover county jury
found Gause guilty of murder in
the first degree. He was senten
ced to be electrocuted but won
a new trial when the Supreme
court ruled that there had been
an error in the charge of the
presiding judge.
Tried again in the same court
two months ago he was again
found guilty and sentenced to life
imprisonment. In the second
trial he escaped death through
alleged expert testimony credit
ing him with having the mind of
an eight year old child. His ac
tions in the riot are said to indi
cate that some eight-year olds
have rather tough minds.

Tolor, of Southport, has been

Base. He enlisted in the service
in April, 1946.
WELFARE DEPT.
By Ruth E. Patterson
Supt. Public Welfare
There has been much discussion
of the fact that the law requires
that the list of Old Age Assist
ance, Aid to Dependent Children,
and Aid to Needy Blind reci-:
pients be kept secret. The tax
payers feel that they have a,
right to know how their tax s
money is being spent. They do j
have a right to know that it is;
being spent properly, but the
law also wishes to protect the |
integrity and self respect of,
those who have been forced to j
come to us for help.
Both the State and Federal
laws are set up to administer i
Public Assistance in such a way i
that ycur tax money will be
spent according to law. The State
Merit System law requires that
your Superintendent of Public1
Welfare, Case Worker and cleri
cal staff under her shall pass an
exmination proving their ability
to administer the law. Each indivi
dual case is discussed with your
local Welfare Board, consisting
of three of your taxayers. The
State Welfare Department sends
Field Representatives into each
county every two or three months'
to make suggestions and check
up on the methods of adminis
tering public assistance. Even the
Federal Government sends analy
sts into the State and occasional
ly into the counties to examine
our methods of procedure. You
can see from this that your
money is being well protected;
on the other hand, we also wish
to protect our clients.
A man's self respect iS his
most precious possession. This is
the qnuality which makes him
look the world in the face and
say "I am able to look after my
self and pull my share of the
load." When, for some reason,
this self respect has been taken
away from him he becomes hope
less, and of little use to him
self or to his community. Loss of
self respect also brings on a man
and belligerent attitude which
contributes to broken homes and
to crime.
Can you now see what it would
do to our welfare recipients to
have their names published? All
the neighbors would point their
fingers and say, "If you had
worked harder when you were
young you would not now be in
this condition of having to beg,"
or "Of all his children isn't there
a one of them who can take care
of him? You never would see me
let my father go on the county."
Think also what this would
mean in the case of a widow and
her children. School children
would point out the children of
Aid to Dependent children re
cipients and tease them because
their mother couldn't take care of
them without help from the coun
ty. Children are much more sen
sative to a situation like this than
adults. You can esily see how
just one such remark might
blight a child for the rest of his
life.
The people who come to the
Public Welfare Department for
help come from necessity and not
from laziness. Our present econo
mic life makes It quite difficult
for some people to look after
their aged parents as they did
a generation or two ago. It is
also more difficult for relatives (
and friends to support a widow
and her small children. Desease, |
either mental or physical, may
creep in such a way as to make
a person appear lazy for some
time before the disease itself is
discovered. Everyone who comes
to us already has more cares
and problems than most of us
have. Let us not add the humi
liation of publishing the fact that
they are having these problems.
