Four Paratroopers Held On Charges
Of Raping West Southern Pines Girl
Four Negro paratroopers, al
leged to have raped a 15-year-old
Negro girl from Southern Pines
last week, have been arrested and
are in Army custody at Fort
Bragg.
According to a statement the

Graham and Lou Culbreth
girl made to Southern Pines po
licemen last week the offense,
which is a capital crime, took
place on the Fort Bragg military
reservation Monday night. May
21. She said that the soldiers
threatened to kill her if she did
not submit to them.
Chief of Police C. E. Newton
said tlie girl’s statement helped
to land all four into Army cus
tody.
The girl, whose name cannot be
revealed because she is a juve
nile, said that one of the para
troopers had accosted her in a
West Southern Pines eating
place, and had asked to take her
home. She finally agreed to ac
cept the ride, she said in her
statement, but was hesitant when
she discovered three other sol
diers in the car.
Instead of taking her home, she
told officers, the four soldiers
drove through several towns in
this area and finally stopped near
Taylortown, near Pinehurst.
There, she said, one of the sol
diers tried to rape her while the
others left for a few minutes, but
was unsuccessful. She said she
begged to be carried home.
Instead of carrying her home
then, she related, they drove her
onto the reservation and, at gun
point, all four raped her. She said
they threatened to kill her if she
refused to submit or if she ever
told anyone.
Finally taken home, the young
girl told her aunt, with whom she
lives, of the affair.
During the course of the inves
tigation the girl led police offi
cers and Army investigators to
the scene on the reservation
where she said the offense tooK
place. The arrests took place
Thursday. ,
No names have been released
by the Army. An investigation oy
Southern Pines officers is still be
ing conducted to gather further
information.

DRIVE CAREFULLY — SAVE A LIFE I
Dr. F. W. Parker, chief agricul
turist for the U. S. Technical Co
operation mission to India, visited
in Southern Pines last week and
made a few observations on the
pprogress of India’s agriculture.
Dr. Parker, brother of Lockie
Parker of the Country Bookshop,
said that India—long recognized
as an area of famines and starva
tion—is now gaining in agricul
tural production to the point of
being nearly self-sufficient.
The U. S. aid program, referred
to as “Point Four,’’ has helped
bring about tremendous changes
li^ (India and in other countries. Dr.
Parker said. It is not a program
of U. S. “handouts,” but more of
mutual benefit cooperation in
which every dollar of IT. S. funds
is met by nine from the govern
ment of India in the development
of its agriculture.
Dr. Parker heads a select
group of agricultural specialists
recruited from' universities
throughout the country who are
furnishing the American “know
how” to Indian agriculturalists.
The Indians, in turn, are working
'much the same way as the fa
miliar U. S. farm agent does—dis
pensing information to thousands
of farmers and showing them
how to increase their yield with
better products.
At present there are almost 100
U. S. specialists in India.
Dr. Parker has already inter
viewed specialists at the Univer
sity of Tennessee and will short

CONTEST!
FIRST PRIZE: $10,0001
Today, the average home uses 3
times as much electricity as it
did 15 years ago. That’s why 4
out of 5 homes now suffer from
low HOUSEPOWER. This is
true even of brand hew homes.
Here are the conditions that
cause you to have low HOUSE--
POWER:
, Inadequate electrical service en
trance. To overcome this basic
cause of low HOUSEPOWER,
you should have service en
trance capacity of at least 100
amperes. This requires 3-wlre
service from the street,
1 Overloaded circuits. Too many
appliances on one circuit over
load it and none of them get
enough power. Motors may even
burn out. If the overload is too
great, the fuse will blow or cir
cuit-breaker trip. You should
have enough branch circuits to
distribute enough electricity to
all appliances.
3. Insufficient outlets. Some home*
owners use extension cords and
“octopus” outlets (2-and 3-way
plugs), or plug into lighting out
lets. Such practices are un-
sighdy, inconvenient, and may
be dangerous. Rearranging fur
niture doesn’t help. The only
safe solution is to add more cir
cuits and outlets.
These are the symptoms of low
HOUSEPOWER: lights dim
ming when appliances are turned
on; blown fuses or tripped cir
cuit-breakers ;TV picture shrink
ing when other appliances are
turned on; appliances working
inefficiently or taking too long
to heat up.
If any of these symptoms are
present in your home call your
electric company, electrician or
electrical contractor for a wiring
check-up. If added wiring is
necessary, your electrician or
electrical contractor will do the
job quickly, neatly, economi
cally. It often takes less than a
day. Remember, full HOUSE-
POWER increases the value of
your home. •
