Brutality Case’ begun F.B.I. by PEMBROKE — The Federal Bureau of Investiga tion (FBI) has begun a probe of possible civil rights violations in the arrest and alleged beating of a local man by two state troopers. FBI officials Friday confirmed that the U. S. Department of Justice had requested an investiga tion of the arrest of O'Neil Oxendine by Troopers Hubert Covington and T. J. Evelyn April 22. “A complaint was made to the Department of Justice, and we have been asked to make a preliminary investigation of possible civil rights violations,” an FBI official said Friday. He would not elaborate on who had made the complaint or how extensive an investigation would be conducted. Oxendine was found guilty on charges of driving under the influence and resisting arrest in Robeson County District Court last month. Pembrerfee Town Manager McDuffie Cummings, an eyewitness to the arrest, asked for a Highway Patrol investigation of the matter, calling the beating of Oxendine during his arrest “savagery.” Highway Patrol officials Friday said they were unaware of an FBI investigation into the matter, and said their internal investigation exonerated the two officers. “I find it difficult to believe that a thorough investigation into the incident was conducted by the patrol.” Cummings said late Thursday. "Especial ly since I was never questioned, and to my knowledge. Mr. Oxendine was never questioned during their investigation.” Robeson County District Court Judge Charles McLean emphasized during the trial he had no intention of deciding whether the officers used unnecessary force. McLean said his duty was to judge whether Oxendine was guilty of drunken driving and resisting arrest. Cummings testified during the trial that he saw Evelyn strike Oxendine with his fist, and that both troopers then hit Oxendine With their blackjacks. The attack, Cummings testified, was not provoked by Oxendine. Oxendine later required 31 stitches to close wounds on bis head. The officers testified that Oxendine struck Evelyn, and that the blows with a blackjack were delivered only by Evelyn in defending himself. McLean ruled that Cummings, although he was only 100 feet away, was not in a position to see everything that happened, and that Oxendine could have hit Evelyn without Cummings seeing it. Cummings and Oxendine requested a warrant for the two troopers from a county magistrate, but were blocked by Dist. Atty. Joe Freeman Britt, who said his policy was not to issue warrants for police officers until an investigation of the charges had been made. Sources Friday told The Fayetteville Times that denial for a warrant may be included in the FBI investigation of civil rights violations. Oxendine has appealed his conviction to Robeson County Superior Court, but a firm date for the trial has not yet been set.

But the people once again lost-and North Carolina Insurance Commissioner John Ingram says the special interest groups have prevailed. agains the bill.” Headded,”TlK insurance industry operating in North Carolina started out to get John Ingram, but they have hun the people of North Carolina.” After three hours of debate last Wednesday, following months of debate, the North Carolina General Assembly passed the bill that would mean unlimited increases in some insurance rates and hikes of up to twelve percent in automobile liability rates over the next two years. The bill has been strongly supported by the insurance industry and many say written by the insurance industry, while being bittery opposed by state Insurance Commissioner John Ingram. Ingram attributed the bill’s passage to the insurance industry, and the legislators with insurance ties and Governor James B. Hunt, Jr. who declined to take a position on the issue. The new law strips the North Carolina Insurance Commissioner of his prior approval authority, as the insurance indusrty operating in North Carolina has tried to do since Ingram’s massive election by the people. In addition to shifting the burden of proof on rate hike decisions from the industry to the Insurance Commissioner, other major provisions of the bill are; 1. Allowing all drivers convicted of moving violations in a three year peric5, to collectively pay at least twenty-five percent of the total premium dollars paid in the state. This could mean substantial rate hikes to persons with multiple convictions, as well as possibly some reductions for drivers with clean records. Hunt has said repeatedly that he wanted the General Assembly to resolve the issue. “You can’t do everythine,” Hunt said last Friday. He has continuously evaded reporters questions about why he hasn’t taken a stand on the bill. Ingram charged yesterday, ■ ‘This bill would not have passed without the votes of lawyers who represented the insurance companies, agents and other people in the industry, nor if Governor Hunt had spoken out against the bill.” 2. Insurance companies will be allowed to charge proportionately higher rates than now allowed on drivers in urban areas such as Chau'lotte,; Greensboro, Raleigh, Durham, Winston-Salem and other major cities, on the theory that the risks of accidents is greater in more congested areas. This means that a driver with a clean record could end up paying a larger rate in those urban areas, while an unsafe driver in a rural area could end up paying lower rates. 3. Rate discrimination based on age or sex will be prohibited, but The new law lakes effect September 1st and rates on nonessential insurance coverage such as wind and storm damage could go up immediately after that. Automobile liability insurance, which is mandatoy under existing taws, could go up six percent by December 1st and another six percent the following year. 4. Insurance companies can designate certain other classifications of drivers of areas for higher rates if they can offer statistical proof that those categories justify higher rates. It has been reported that even as the bill was being approved, the automobile insurance industry-claiming its companies were losing money—were preparing to seek an immediate rate increase of sixteen percent before the new law goes into effect. State Insurance Commissioner John Ingram campaigned for re- election last year on a pledge to hold down insurance rates and received the third largest number of votes of any statewide elected official in North Carolina. Insurance industry representatives told members of the news media that the insurance- run rating bureau which files for automobile rate hikes will seek as much as they can get the next two years. Other knowledgeable sources said the industry will also ask for the sixteen percent increase before the new law takes effect. The sixteen percent increase needs Insurance Commissioner Ingram’s approval. Ingram said, after the bill became law, he intends to continue to fight for the people of North Carolina who had the confidence in him to elect him. According to a reporter's poll they conducted for several newspapers last January, nine House members sell insurance. Eight of those nine voted for the conference committee report yesterday. Only one excused himself from voting. There were more insurance lobbyists in the halls of the General Assembly than any other registered lobbying group for special interests. The new law will allow companies to charge the new rates without the Commissioner's approval ninety days after requesting the increase. If the Commissioner wants to repeal the rate hike, he will have to go to court to prove that it wasn't justified for essential coverage. On the nonesssential insurance there won’t be any delay in increasing the rates, which will remain in effect unless Ingram can prove in court there was no need for increases. r^'NieT^AliR^ ♦ !

By Robert M. Bartell WASHINGTON, D.C. (Lib erty Lobby News Service) — The decision whether to add the controversial B-1 supersonic bomber to America's arsenal will now wait until the 95th Congress convenes in January. Wheth er it will be approved or not is another question but you ought to know some per tinent facts concerning this airplane. The B-1 has been scien tifically rated as the most reliable and versatile seg ment of our defense posture, which of course includes land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles and missile- carrying submarines. Our current fleet of manned bombers, aging Hoeing B-S2’s, is shrinking swiftly; our first B-62 was built in 1954 and the latest in 1962. Once we had about l.UOO B-52’s operational: now. about 400. Obviously quite a few people in government figure that the Soviet design bureaus have been vacation ing at some Black Sea re sort for the last decade. Now. a manned bomber can do a lot of things a mis sile can't. You can call a honiber back once you launch it . . . assign a dif ferent target after it is air borne . . . have it seek out targets whose precise posi tion is unknown in advance. You can also have it strike many scattered targets with a variety of weapons, or arm it with either iron bombs or nukes: convention al or nuclear weapons. The B-52 was designed to carry monstrous 20-megaton hydrogen bombs. It ended up, in the Vietnam war, carrying hundreds of con ventional high explosive bombs and became the source of violent controversy in this country with the anti- Vietnam war crowd because it was our single most feared weapon against the enemy, So, in essence, this means a manned bomber, unlike a missile, is useful either in a limited (non-nuclear) war or an all-out atomic one. Another factor: a manned bomber can return home and be used over again: once you fire a missile, it’s gone, Armchair generals argue with the capabilities of the B-1 . They ask, for example: Can a manned bomber get through to its target in this age of increasingly sophis ticated defenses? Air Force experts are convinced that it can. A top Air Force of ficer. Gen. Abner B. Martin, says the B-1 is designed to swoop in low, under enemy radar, at nearly the speed of sound and launch its super sonic, nuclear-tipped stand off missiles while still 50 to 100 miles from its target. Each B-1 is designed to carry 24 of these missiles, called SRAM’s (Short Range Attack Missiles) —eight each in three different revolving drums. He also says each B-1 will boast a fantastic electronics system enabling it to fly at an ex tremely low altitude . . , how low is still secret. . . but well below the height of many American buildings, day or night, in all kinds of weather, automatically. The B-1 presents a very small radar image, thanks to some marvelous new electronic counter-systems; and it will carry nearly twice the B-Jj2 payload. It will burn about 25 percent less fuel than a B-52 on a similar mission and offers a number of advantages that even missiles can't match. Of course the Soviet Union knows' this and so do the Soviet agents in our own country who are fighting to stop the B-1 by any means possible, while the Kremlin ruthlessly continues to ex pand and improve its own manned bomber fleet.
