Bar Cut By A Saw Smuggled Into Prison Camp Four long-term convicts escaped from the Haywood County Prison Camp at 2:30 A. M. today after sawing through the common bar that locked their cells and holding an unarmed guard at bay. Capt. W. F. Swift, the camp sup erintendent, said late this morning they were still at large at that time. He reported that the bar ap parently had been cut some time esterday by a smuggled saw but held in place to escape the detec tion of the guards until the time for the break arrived. He added that the break started when one of the men approached the guard and asked for some sod.i. When the guard turned away, the prisoner then grabbed a piece of the bar which had been cut, and held the guard at bay as the three other prisoners fled from their cells. The convict then followed the others in scalling the seven-loot fence to freedom. Captain Swift said that another guard, who was armed, heard his companion yell but the convicts were over the fence before he had time to turn and fire. He added that the prisoner who threatened the guard was believed to be Leroy Campbell, 30, sen tenced from Chatham and nerving a total of approximately 20 years on ut least two counts of robbery with firearms and "about six other sentences" on other convictions. Campbell, whom Swift definitely identified as oue of the four es caped convicts, started serving his sentence in November 1943, ' The officer said Campbell and 'at least two of the other convicts were veterans of previous breaks or attempted breaks, either from the Haywood camp or another camp. Campbell, he added, escaped from the Davie county camp in 1944. He was transferred to the local prison camp in April 1949. He gave these details about the other fugitives. Aubrey Johnson, 24, sentenced from Pitt county to 30 years Im prisonment for second degree mur der, escaped from the Haywood camp in August 1949 and was re captured in Florida last June. John Son had been transferred here a few months before his first escape. Clarence Jeter, 29. sent here in June 1947 from Wake on house breaking, entering, larceny con victions, escaped In June 1948, aid ing his Hight by taking a car ow n ed by Leon Killian of Waynesville In the process. He was recaptured three days later. James Williams, 18. of Kinslon, serving sentences including 'liree ranging from 7 to 10 years for breaking, entering, and larceny, among other counts, was first sen tenced in Lenoir county, later in Pitt. He was transferred here in Jan uary 1949.

The 1 950 program began late in June with a conference of 2,000 and the grounds were constantly filled from then unlil last week. The speakers for tills year's pro gram were men and women of na tional and international reputation, and the conferences were well at tended by many people who were here for the first time. "In one specific conference, we found that more than 1,000 people attended Lake Junaluska for the first time. We have every reason to believe they were thoroughly sold on the place, and will be re turning often." The visitors at the Lake this season were also impressed with the work that has been done under the $1)00,000 expansion program. Thus far. a sewer line, and a new bridge across the dam have been completed. Other projects are be ing planned for the Assembly. "While our attendance records did not exceed the year just fol lowing the war, we have no com plaints to make for this season's at tendance we estimate a minimum of 15.000 were at the Lake, and many stayed longer than prior years," Dr. Love continued. "The 3!ith season was just about everything we could hope for we are delighted that it can be marked down as highly successful." CHAIRMAN WOODY the nation will be permanently en shrined with the Freedom Bell in Berlin as a symbol of American dedication to the' cause of world freedom. The contributions, they continue, win finance rtaoio ree fcurope s present and proposed broadcasting schedule to "pierce the Iron Cur tain with Freedom's truths." In outlining the objectives of the drive, General Clay declared: "The south of the world is sick and the peoples, of .the worldare looking to the United States for leadership and hope. "They are looking to us for lead ership in a great moral crusade a crusade for freedom, friendship, and faith throughout the earth. "If we are to prove equal to this desperate need, each U. S. citizen must feel a personal responsibility. "What an inspiration of hope and encouragement it would be to op pressed peoples everywhere if mil lions of Americans would volun tarily join in a great moral crusade, would accept the challenge of per sonal leadership, and pledge them selves to vork steadfastly and firm ly until the tide of the cold war is turned and world peace with indi vidual freedom again becomes pos sible." The Freedom Bell will be placed in Berlin by the American people as a symbol of the free world's resistance to communist aggression.
