' Eighteen year-old Private Junes A. Roberts began his' infiltration wa* Hi* gap *■*•» h* ft» wall «f th* W**t Machimry any <Mmcm *>Y «h* *•"»• of the local International Harvest er establishment quietly by at tempting to steal away into the night with one * of the parked trucks outside the building. His efforts proved futile, however, and then the main assault began. Armed with a weapon classed as obsolete in most military circles (two large rocks) this Pennsyl vania private. turned his ancient but effective artillery on a large glass window in the south rampart of tyie West outpost. ^ Close support of this artillery barrage by the teen-age task force breeched the defensive line of quarter-inch glass and the capture was complete. •' -, ■ Once inside he found the West Fortress deserted* by defensive forces. Following accepted mili tary practice Private Roberts de cided to immobilize the materials of movement enclosed therein. ; A brand-new pickup trade seemed the most effective instru ment for rendering the establish ment impotent and" open to fu ture, assault. With this lje rammed torougn tne nortnern prweewe wall (a large folding door that could have been easily lifted) This left the south and north walls open to future enemy assault but left the pickup truck precariously hung over the moat around the fortress, not to mention folded up from front bumper to windshield. Private Roberts apparently de cided that his mission had been accomplished and it was time to re-contact his own forces. He then returned Ifo the shattered West Wall of the' breeched Kinston de fenses and took another, larger but equally brand-new truck. Here ibis Pennsylvania Panzer Division made his first mistake of the mission. Apparently in the darkness and confusion of battle he had lost Ms battle compass and turned north into enemy lines, rather than south to regroup with strong Marine re - inforcements which .were moving up from the New River Estuary. t The defensive line of Kinston was spread pretty thirty.

In spite of every kind of pub licity, in spate of the vaccihe be ing given free and in spite of the threat of the dreaded disease par ents have been reluctant to give their children this protection. But fear, apparently, is a much more positive prod than all the other factors combined since the mild outbreak of polio in Pitt Oounty has sent thousands of par ents to public and private clinics to get their children inneculated. This upsurge of, acceptance has brought the Sale Vtfpine protec tion to thousands more hut District Health Officer Dr, R. J. Jones says the job will not be complete until every eligible person has gotten the protection. Hie hmoculations are given every weekday from 9 until 5 in the cli nics of the Health Department «nd, of course, can be obtained at any time from private physi cians. Multiple Charges in Monday Night Incident Clarence Hines, a day^laborer of 22 B Carver Courts, is facing mul tiple changes after “breaking bad” on the Bruce Heath Farm north of Kinston Monday night. Hines reportedly vent to the to Hfeatft came to quiet things down Hines took a couple of shots at him with a .38 caliber revolver and then fled. He has been charged with assault with a deadly weapon, attempted break ing and entering, disorderly con duct and public drunkenness.

The little boy pulled loose from his mother and dashed directly into the path of a car be ing driven southwardly by Shirley Glenn Smith of Kinston route three. Investigating Patrolman Uoyd Pate says Mrs. Seymour assured him that the accident was un avoidable so far as Miss Smith was concerned so no charges were made. The child suffered a long cut on tiie head, a severe concussion and other minor cuts and bruises about the body. After being given emergenay treatment* at Parrott Memorial Hospital the child was ■ rushed to the Chapel Hill medical center for speclajtoe^y treatment.
