Federal Bureau of Investigation
officers were in Morehead City
Wednesday to obtain additional in
formation in tracking down a for
mer Morehead City resident, Rich
ard Craybill, charged with driving
?( off to California with a car belong
ing to Mobley Buick co., Morehead
City. The formal charge against
him is embezzlement.
According to H. Earle Mobley,
owner and manager of Mobley
Buick co., Craybill took the car
Tuesday, Aug. 7. He told the au
tomobile company that he was in
terested in buying a used car and
the company allowed him to have
the car, a 1948 Buick two-door
sedaki. for a brief trial period.
Instead of returning the car,
Craybill piled his family into it,
and headed west. Sheriff C. G.
Holland was notified as soon as the
car was missed and authorities in
Indianapolis. Ind., loeated the au
tomobile. They were telegraphed
to arrest Craybill, that the warrant
was on the way, but by the time the
wire was received Craybill had
. moved on.
The car next turned up in San
, Diego, Calif., where Craybill pre
sented a forged Uobley Buick co.
bill of sale to a motor company
there and traded the 1948 Buick
for another car. The car stolen
from Morehead City is now in the
hands of San Diego authorities and
Mobley says he expects to have it
back in the near future. "But what
condition it's in, I don't know,"
he declared.
The FBI is continuing the search
for Craybill, former skipper of a
' "party boat in Morehead City, who
had been living at a boarding house
near Mobley Buick co., and had
been trading regularly with the
company this summer.

Ports Authority
Probes Neglect \
Of Dredging
The State Ports Authority Mon
day demanded an investigation in
to the apparently dormant plans
for dredging docks at Morehead
City and Wilmington.
The SPA telegraphed high offi
cials in the Office of Defense Trans
portation. the Interagency Port
Utilization committee, and the De
fense Department urging an inves
tigation of the dredging at the new
$5,000,000 state docks. The author
ity suggested that national defense
funds be used for the projects.
George W. Gillette, executive di
rector of the SPA, said that the
North Carolina ports had been dis
criminated against in favor of the
ports at Savannah, Ga? and Jack
sonville, Fla., and added that "it
begins to look like 'The Lost
Colony' is spread all up and down
the coast of North Carolina rather
than just at Manteo."
He said in a statement that the
government agencies apparently
"are not fully informed on the
state's facilities nearing completion
at Wilmington and Morehead City
and the possible service these ports
could render to national defense."
(iill?ttf.?d<)ed that the dredging
was authorized by Congress in*lB50
but that the Korean war held up
the ports work and the deepening
of the Cape Fear channel to 34
feet.
A. G. Myers, SPA chairman, said
he is "unable to reconcile the posi
' tion taken by the government here
in comparison with other ports of
similar size and nature.
"If 34 feet is required to serve
Jacksonville and Savannah for na
tional defense, it would seem to
me that Wilmington also would
need the 34 feet of water that has
been recognized as essential by our
Congress.
"I am informed that the tonnage,
largely petroleum, is greater at
Wilmington than at either of the
I other two ports and tankers are
ships requiring deeper water,"
Myers said.

Representatives
Of Civic Clubs
Meet at Town Hall
General Steering Committee
To Raise $5,000 - $7,000
For USO Building Repair
Representatives of Morehead City
civic clubs decided Tuesday night
to raise $7,000 from among the
citizenry for repairing the old USO.
They met in the municipal build
ing.
The commission voted down the
motion to raze the USO and build
a new structure in its place or to
remove the auditorium.
A. B. Roberts, Rotarian and
chairman of the general civic club
committee, reported that E. C. Wil
lis, contractor, estimates that the
USO could be repaired and a new
floor laid in the dance hall for
$5,000 to $7,000.
This estimate, however, does not
include the addition of asphalt sid
ing on the recreation hall, Roberts
stated.
Joseph DuBois was appointed to
draw up a list of merchants, trades
men, and professional citizens who
will be contacted by the commit
tee. Those persons, said Roberts,
have already let it be known that
they are enough interested in the
project to donate either time or
money.
Maintenance of the repaired USO
will cost an estimated $1,500 a
year, Robert disclosed.
W. C. Carlton, chairman of the
recreation commission, said that a
house-to-house fund-raising canvass
will not be conducted at this time.
The list DuBois compiles will be
divided equally between A. B. Vick,
Woodmen of the World, Oscar All

Driver Pays $10 j
For 'Poor Driving
William P. West, charged with
careless and reckless driving, was
fined $10 and paid court costs in
recorder's court Tuesday. The
state decided not to prosecute an
other case against him in which he
was charged with driving without
a licensi.
Wrenn Lawrence, one of the
prosecuting witnesses, told the
court that he was driving several
weeks ago in a three-quarter ton
truck, headed toward Newport and
the car in front of him, driven by
West, was driving half on and half
off the road.
He said that he passed the car
once, then West passed him and im
mediately slammed on the brakes,
almost causing an accident.. Law
rence said the car wiggle-waggled
*11 over the road, preventing him
from passing. Finally he did try
to pass again, and West swerved
way over to the left and slammed
on hia brakes, thus causing the
bumpers of the two vehicles to
lock.
Thurman Pittman, owner of the
truck, stated on the witness stand
that everything Lawrence said was
correct. He added that "some
smart guy" with Weft said they
had been drinking beer.
Patrolman J. W. Sykes, who in
vestigated, said th4t when he ar
rived on the scene, both vehicles
were on the left side of the road
headed toward Cherry Point, and
at the time West had no operator's
license with hhn. He said that
Lawrence swore out the careless
and reckless driving warrant.
