Puke Univuxsity LiLrary Newspaper Department Burta, JI C. 27706 11-2G DG3 IVife Survives, Picfis IVfiife Slayer mmt. r tana v r 1 ray Stomas WASHINGTON, D. C. - A Nigerian (West Africa) theology student and minister was buried here in an interracial ceremony last week after he was shot to death and his wife critically wounded in the execution style slaying of four persons in a Roy Rogers Restaurant cold storage freezer. The brutal slayings occurred in nearby Lincolnia, Va., where Rev. Edward Nakpodia and his wife, Julie, 23, were shot in the head, along with three other' Roy Rogers restaurant employees, during an apparent, early morning, western style robbery by , a lone, white gunman. Mrs. Nakpodia was the only survivor of the murders after the five bodies of the employees and her husband were found in the subfreezing storage roorrt. Officials said the freezing temperature may have saved her life because it stopped the flow of blood. ' , The Nigerian victim is still under guard after giving authorities enough of a description of the slayer to prepare a composite drawing. The killer was described as a white male in his 30s to 40s, about 6 feet, 1 inch tall, 175 to 190 pounds, with short, brown, straight hair, combed back on his head. Virginia Commonwealth Atty. Robert F. Horan Jr. said laboratory reports show that 20 bullets were fired into the bodies of the victims from the same six shot .32 caliber revolver. Horan said the gun was loaded at least three times,. ThrofrtCtaitf apparently 'went outside the restaurant, got Rev. Nakpodia,. who was waiting for his wife to I get off from work, and brought him in before shooting all of the victims. The Rev. Henry C. Gregory, pastor of Washington's Baptist Church, where Nakpodia, 25, was a student minister, said the victim was "a Christian gentleman and did not have a violent bone in his body." The Rev. Gregory said Rev. Nakpodia had "deplored violence in our society" during his last sermon to the Shiloh congregation last month. Rev. Nakpodia attended Luther Rice College in Virginia. Several white classmates served as pallbearers. "This is worse than anything that ever happened in Nigeria," said one observer in apparent reference to the recent uprisings in the West African homeland of the victims.

Carter: Why I Omit Dr. King From 'Great Americans' ',A - -f , rr WASHINGTON, D. C. -Presidential candidate Jimmy Carter (D-Ga.) admitted this week that he sometimes omits listing Dr. Martin L. King Jr. as a Great American when he speaks to all white audiences, but declared the ommission is not intentional. Appearing on the CBS-TV program, Face, The Nation, the former Georgia governor said he always includes Dr. King Jr. in the list when there are Black persons in the audience, but sometimes omits the civil rights martyr when the audience is all white. "It was not a deliberate thing and I will not do it anymore," the candidate said in explaining to questioners that he will include the late Dr. King among his list of Great Americans when speaking before all audiences in the future.
