' Under the proclamation, signed by Judge J. A. Rousseau, any cit izen has the right to arrest the fugitives or to kill them If they of- • fer resistance. Rousseau signed the proclamation, late last nighs in Rockingham after three had eluded a huge, manhunt in. ’ the swampy, wooded Sandhills area. Under the old North Carolina outlawry proclamation, a fugitive declared an outlaw may bd called upon by any citizen to surrender without charge or warrant, and may be slain on the spot if he resists. Moore County Sheriff CaJ. Mc- Donald requested the outlawry pro clamation against J. C. DOwd, 20, who has been named as the trig german in Cameron’s slaying here early Sunday, and against two other Negroes, Junebug Morrison and Harry Richardson. Five other Negroes were rounded up Sunday and Monday. Cameron, 48, was killed by a shot gun blast fired without warning as he and night policeman Hugh Strider drove to Dowd’s house to investigate earlier shootings and “hell-raising” by a large group of Negroes late Saturday night. Other vehicles had been fired upon with a rifle and pistol and a Carthage youth had been slightly wounded by a shotgun pellet. • After Cameron was shot as the police car stopped in front of Shome, Strider milled the _ er from the nald, reported no formal have been filed against the groee already jailed. “They were all at the place and participating to a certain extent,” he said. “I expect they will be charged with something like aiding and abetting.” STATE NEWS BRIEFS RALEIGH (If) A bill to enable cities in North Carolina to enforce parking regulations was introduced in the House of Representatives to day.

Richard Sanders of Dur ham offered the measure which would establish a legislative prlma facie rule of evidence to apply in cases of parking violation whether in a metered zone or In any other regulated space.

William B. Umstead to revamp toe State Board of Elections. Both measures ran into trouble and the insurance bill was postpon ed until today’s session when Rep. Roger C. Kiser of Scotland County instated it would allow insurance companies to sue the state. Its. sponsor, Rep. Edwin Pou of Wdke County, said it wouldn't, but the legislators wanted a closer look at the measure and put off action. Rep. R. Lee Whitmire’s bill to dissolve the present State Selections Board May 1 and have Umstead name five new members stirred up a minor squabble and caused the Henderson County representa tive to take a few verbal slaps at the present board. VOICE VOTE It passed on a voice vote, how ever, with only about half a dozen dissenting voters. Freshman Rep.
