Durham Airman Held FsrfapC
And Murder Os 3-Year-0M Girl
SAN ANTONIO. Tex. (UP)—A
30-year-old airman was charged
today with raping and murdering
a three-year-old girl In a gravel
pit. Authorities called It the most
gruesome crime in the area In 30
years.
The body of pretty Shere Horton
was found about midnight Satur
day, an hour after she had dis
appeared from a nearby tavern
where her parents had taken her.
Charged was airman third class
Jimmy Shayer, of Grapeland, Tex,
stationed at Lackland Air Force
Base, San Antonio. Shaver was ar
rested near the pit wearing blood
spattered clothing.
Shaver charged that airman
Sumter C. Brawley HI, 20, son of a
prominent Durham, N. C„ attorney
did the slaying. Officers picked up
Brawley at the barracks in Lack
land and held him as a material
witness. He steadfastly denied that
he had anything to do with the
slaying or rape.
Deputy Sheriff Dean Jones said
the rape-murder was “the most
gruesome crime in San Antonio
and Bexar County Within the last
30 years." He said the two airmen
were well guarded when taken to
the county jail' because Sam An
tonio citizens were “angry and in
dignant.”
Shaver, in a signed statement,
said that he came out of the tav
ern and found Brawley In the'front
seat of a car, with the little girl
in the back crying for her parents
He said they drove to the gravel
pit and turned off the lights. He
said the girl started crying louder
and that Brawley struck her.
Shaver said he “had enough”
and fled. He gave no explanation
of the blood on his clothing.

Republicans Plan
New Drive On South
WASHINGTON (IP) Republican campaign strategists
plan a rousing battle in the Sputh this fail to hold and try
to enlarge the beachhead they established two years ago
in. Democratic congressional strength.
The GOP Is entering candidates
in about 20 districts in the II
states that comprise the old con
federacy. But they will concentrate
their tire on the four seats they
gained from the Democrats in 1952
and a few others where the Demo
cratic victory margin was slim.
The Democrats, for their part,
intend to regain the seats they lost
in 1952 when President Elsenhower
cracked the so-called Solid South.
And this November they believe
things will be different.
For one thing, the Republican
candidates will not be aided by the
political pulling power of the El
senhower name on the ballot.
Democrats also believe that some
of the state organizations that were
something less than enthusiastic
fdr the national ticket In 1952 will
be in pitching hard against the
GOP on the congressional level
this fall.
The Republican “Operation Dix
ie” will also give Southern voters
a chance to say how they like the
Eisenhower administration after
two years. The administrations an
ti-segregation moves, public power
policy and farm program have all
stirred some opposition below the
Mason Dixon line.
MAY BACK INDEPENDENTS
Both sides are acutely aware- of
the part the handful of disputed
Southern congressional races could
play in determining control of
Congress next year. The Republi
cans will go into the campaign this
fall With a thin four-vote margin
over the Democrats.
Spokesmen on the Democratic
campaign committee express opti
mism over their chances of regain
ing the last seats. And they said
flatly no other Democratic seats
will fall to the OOP
The national Citizens for Eisen
hower congressional committee
hopes to give pro - administration
candidates a hand in the South, m
areas where a Republican has no
h#pes of winning, the committee
ha* offered to back independent
candidates who agree to vote with
the Republicans on organization
of the house.
So far. no takers of the offer
have been announced. But a com
mittee spokesman said the group
has “two very good prospects."
The hottest Democratic - Repub
lican scraps in the South will take
place In the fqur districts the GOP
gained In 1952. These seats are now
held by Republican Reps. Charles
Raper Jonas of North Carolina and
Richard H. Poss, William C.
Wampler and Joel T. BroyhiU of
Virginia. > t
COURT RULING STUDIED
All sides accept as a foregone
conclusion that the Republicans
will maintain the two seats in the
eastern Tennessee mountains that
they have traditionally controlled.
Reps. B. Carroll Reece and How
ard H. Baker now hold these seats.
The GOP hopes to score new
gains this fall In Florida and North
Carolina. Their Democratic target
in North Carolina Is the 9th Dis
trict seat now held by Rep. Hugh
Q. Alexander. The GOP candidate
for this seat polled 48.5 per cent
of the vote in 1952.

School Budget
For Year Set
At WM.
The Harnett County Board
of Education has adopted a
school budget for 1954-55
calling for total expendi
tures of $489,700, it was dis
closed today by County Su
perintendent Glenn Proffit.
This is only $3,450 more than
the budget for last year, when the
budget was $486, 350.
Harnett County has ten large
school districts.
However, the budget provides an
increase of SII,OOO for capital out
lay but (8,000 leas for debt service
than last year.
CURRENT EXPENSE UP
The amount aet up for current
expenses for the coining year to
$286,900, as compared with $286,100
last year; capital outlay. $146,000.
as compared with $135,900 last
year; and $56,800 for debt service,
as compared with $64,380 last year.
Mr. Proffit pointed out that the
budget requests were made on the
theory that the education board
would ask the county commission
ers to call a bond election on
issuance of $1,500,000 In bonds for
school improvements.
Because of the Supreme Court
ruling on segregation, however, the
county comtestoners have delayed
action on calling the election.

Warren's
lOsßiliiwefl mm Pan Imi
declined comment on the pending
suit at this time, but indicated he
might have a statement at a later
date.
STORE iNJOYS GROWTH
Mr. Warren has spent thousands
of dollars in newspaper advertis
ing to'acquaint the public with the
fact that he undersells all other
drug stores and as a result his
store has enjoyed rapid growth
and expansion throughout the years.
Under the Fair Trade Act, man
ufacturers seek- to maintain a high
er prioe on merchandise than ma
ny retailers normally would ask.
It has been Mr. Warren’s con
tention throughout the years that
his only desire is to make a reas
onable profit and to pass on all
savings passible to his customers.
STILL MADE PROFIT
Although he declined comment on
the suit it was definitely known
that Warren made a profit on the
Bayer aspirin and Phillips milk
of magnesia even at his cut-rate
prices.
The old Fair Trade set was held
unconstitutional by .the United Sta
tes Supreme Court about two years
ago but a new Fair Trade Act was
rushed through Congress. It has
not been tested in the Bupreme
Court in-its entirety.
Many retailers contend that in
a democratic country of free en
terprise that merchants ought not
to be required to -sell goods et an
excessive rate of profit.
Warren’s Drug Store seeks to at
tract a Mg voiumn at a small prof
fit rather than a small voiumn of
trade at excessive profit.
Date for trial of the suit has
not been set.
