Men Who Robbed Service Station Get 10-15 Years Thomas Edgerton and Emory Huggins, middle-aged prison camp escapees, pleaded not guilty to armed robbery in Moore Coun ty Superior Court Tuesday, but were convicted on testimony of a young service station night at tendant, Clarence Beals of Vass. Beals indentified the men posi tively as the pair who had enter ed the Phillips 66 station near Southern Pines last November 17, and robbed the cash register of $74.34 while holding him at gun point. ^ •Huggins, took the stand but fail ed to convince the jury with his story that he had been in Newton on the night in question, that he had “never been in Moore county in his life” until brought here by officers in January, and that a missing tooth, cited by Beals as an identifying mark, hadn’t been missing till knocked out by a po liceman in Goldsboro November 25. Judge Frank M. Armstrong handed each defendant 10 to 15 years in prison, to be served fol lowing completion of any prison terms they may still have pend ing. Besides several years of un completed terms being served when they escaped, officers said they were wanted in Wilson and in Manning and Darlington, S. C., for armed robberies committed after the one in Southern Pines. Their records, given to the jud\e to assist him in fixing sentence, showed many years already spent in various prisons on felony counts. National Guard Company Will Take Part in Alert Exercise This Month Gov. Luther H. Hodges has an nounced that as Commander of the North Carolina Army and Air National Guard he has issued in structions for all units of the North Carolina National Guard to participate this month in “Opera tion Hornets’ Nest” in conjunction with nation-wide Muster Day ob servances announced by the Na tional Guard Bureau. “Operation Hornets’ Nest” will be a test mobilization of Army and Air National Guard units in North Carolina to be held sometime be tween the 10th and 25th of Feb ruary as a means of fully ac quainting the citizens of North (flarolina with the objectives and mission of this State’s Army and Air National Guard. When the alert is sounded, ap proximately 126 units of the North Carolina Army National Guard and eight units of the North Carolina Air National Guard will immediately move in to the biggest mobilization since World War II, involving over 11,- 3D0 officers and men. The Governor reported that the National Guard has the important mission of being ready on short notice to alert and mobilize its men to meet any emergency. ’The potential of the North Carolina National Guard has been greatly increased since the reorginzation of the 30th Infantry “Old Hickopr” Division into a pentomic division establishing it in a high priority category within the defense struc ture of the country. At the present time, the Guard of North Carolina is authorized 11,925 officers and men and has attained a strength in excess of 11,300. ’The Guard is made up en tirely of citizen-soldiers from ev ery walk of life and has in its ranks many combat veterans in both its officer corps and its en listed ranks. Governor Hodges pointed out that the date and hour for the test alert will not be issued in advance to the units. Only he and Adju tant General Capus Waynick will know the exact date and hour. “This is done,” he said, “in order that the test alert will come a^ a suprise and really test the speed and time it will take the Guard “We have 70 men and 2 officers, and most of our equipment. Our Alert Plan is up to date, and we welcome a chance to test its ef fectiveness. In addition to testing our reaction time, this alert will also give us a chance to show the people of Moore County how their Guard unit can respond to an emergency, either local or nation al. “Our assumed job in this alert will be to guard essential com munications and transportation facilities, and to maintain radio communications in the state-wide National Guard net. At the same time, the test will ' be valuable training for the time when we are faced with a real emergency— either a local disaster or a nation wide emergency.” Robert L. Tyner Named to Post in Moore Tax Office Robert L. Tyner, 25-year-old Pinebluff resident, who has been working as, assistant to Douglas David, county tax collector since January 10, was formally approv ed for the post by the county com missioners at their meeting this week. Mr. Tyner, a 1952 graduate of Aberdeen High School and a 1954 graduate of Worth Business Col lege at Fayetteville, was employ ed tentatively after the former appointee to the job, John Eckers- ley of Pinebluff, decided not to leave his other employment. For the past several years, Mr. Tyner has been farming and working during tobacco market seasons as bookkeeper for the Im perial Tobacco Co., on the Aber deen market. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Luther Tyner of Pinebluff. Un married, he lives at home. He is a member of Ives Memorial Bap tist Church and is assistant scout- mastel- of Troop 206, Pinebluff. Mr. David asked the commis sioners to authorize the employ ment of a young man as assistant, so that he could be trained to work in or out of the office. He to assemble its men, issue equip- I said it would increase collections ment, and move out. The only reason the month in which the alert is to be held is released is to give ample time to acquaint the citizens of North Carolina with the mobilization and to prevent undue alarm. “The plan calls for each unit to have a local objective to occupy and secure. Our citizens should not be alarmed when armed Guardsmen, trucks, and heavy Army equipment are seen rushing to objective areeis in the com- communitieb.” The Moore County unit. Com pany D, 2nd Medium Tank Bat talion, 196th Armor, will take part in the exercise along with the other units of the North Carolina Guard. Capt. James Harrington, local unit commander, said this week. “SPRINGTIME MAJESTY” is the title Roger Deering has given to this painting which is dis played at the new Roger Deering Gallery which will open Monday on Midland Road.
