Patrolmen Arrest Two Drivers After
Speedy Chases, One With Stolen Auto
Car Reiurned To
Fort Bragg Owner
Before Was Missed
rThe perils of a patrolman’s life
were well exemplified on two
separate ■ occasions last week,
when a pursuing Moore County
patrol car had to step up as fast
as 90 miles an hour in the wake
of a speeder.
The speed-demon motorist was
apprehended each time, the first
when he dashed along a dead
end road into a farmyard, the
second with the assistance of the
Lee Conuty patrol when he fled
across the county line.
Cpl. M. S. Parvin was at the
wheel of the patrol car both times
Each pursuit began when he
was working the electronic speed-
watch in company with another
patrolman.
Tuesday of last week, about
10:30 p. m., Cpl. Parvin and Pa
trolman J. E. Swaim were clock
ing traffic on NC 27 about II
miles west of Carthage when ;
westbound car crossed the cable
at 74 miles per hour. The patrol
men hastily disconnected the
speedwatch and started in pur
suit. The late model Oldsmobile
ahead, said Parvin, “took wings
as it raced just ahead of them to
Biscoe, turned left just at the
Biscoe city limit — avoiding :
roadblock the Montgomery Coun
ty patrol had set up, on receipt
of a radio message—and, with
lights out, tore two blocks along
the edge of town, turned into i
rural road toward Eagle Springs
then turned right onto another
rural road.
Tried to Escape
The patrolmen, familiar with
the roads of the section, were
right on his tail when he was

forced to come to a stop in the
barnyard of a farmhouse. Both
the driver and his companion
tried to escape through the right-
hand door of their car but ran
head-on into Patrolman Swaim,
who had leaped out first.
Questioned on the spot, as
lights flashed on in the farm
house, the /pair:—wearing field
clothes of the 82nd Airborne—
said they were members of Corn-
pay I, 505th Airborne Infantry
The car turned out to be a stolen
one. Billy Calvin Grayson, 19, the
driver, admitted the theft from
a fellow-member of Company I
but absolved his companion,
Fred Aguilar Esquer, who both
said was “only a hitch-hiker.”
Qharged with speeding at 90,
also' careless and reckless driving,
Grayson received a four-month
sentence or $175 fine, and costs,
in Moore recorders court Monday,
also was deprived of his right to
drive for two years. Esquer was
sentenced to 60 days or $50 and
costs for aiding and abetting.
Federal authorities took over
the charge of autO' theft, since it
occurred on a military reserva
tion. The car was found, identi
fied and returned before its own
er, Charles W. Matlock, knew it
was gone.
Second Race
The second race started Satur
day afternoon when Cpl. Parvin
and Patrolman C. G. Wimberly
were working the speedwatch
north of Vass, after a motorist
passed the machine traveling at
68 miles per hour. The car ahead,
northbound on US 1, picked up
speed and, the corporal said,
“started passing everything on
the road—on hills, curves, every
where.” There were several hair
breadth escapes from accidents
as the car, traveling from 85 to
90 miles per hour, just barely
dodged others approaching on the
left side. The most frightening of
these escapes occurred close to
the spot where eight persons were
killed early last year.
Near Green Gables, just north
of the intersection with Highway
15, Lee County Patrolman Cum-
m.ings saw the car coming and
flagged it down. In it were two
University of Maryland students
returning to college after a Flor
ida trip. The driver, Barry Noo
nan, of Hyattsville, Md., made
bond of $150 for his appearance
in Moore recorders court Decem
ber 20.

American housewives’ demands
for leaner pork, coupled with a
mounting fat surplus, are push
ing swine producers to grow and
market more meat-type hogs. U.
S. Department of Agriculture ani
mal husbandrymen are in the
midst of a field research program
launched this summer by the
swine industry to develop meth
ods for identifying superior meat-
type breeding stock.
As a result of a sharp increase
in acreage, the current sorghum
grain crop is estimated at 2,150,-
000 bushels, 52 per cent above the
1953 crop.
