Quartet of Colored Shop Lifters Loot Stores
Dock Managers Have No
Record of 'Death Yechl' '
The yacht Amphitrite, which
foundered last Monday, Nov. 26,
off Cape Fear, thus bringing .
death to eight peryns aboard is
reported to have departed for its
destination, Charleston, S. C?
from Beaufort.
Checking in Beaufort brought
no verification of that report.
First accounts of the tragedy
stated that the yacht had de
parted from Morehead City, but
again no one at docks usually
used by yachts had a record of
the vessel*
The only one who survived the
tragedy was the navigator, (tus
tave Emanuel Fraier. Funeral
services were conducted at Ashe
ville yesterday for Capt. and Mrs.
Samuel A. Luttrell, jr., and their
12 year old son. Others who died
were members of the crew, Puer- ,
to Ricans, whose bodies were put
overboard.
Marines, State - j
Agree on Target
Chcrrv Point.? The bombing tar
get used by pilots of the Marine
Corps Air station, which was lo- j
cated on Kaccoon Key in the Core I
sound area near Atlantic, has been j
moved to Brant Island, located in
Pamlico sound.
Marine pilots began using their ,
new target for bombing and straf- 1
ing practices yesterday.
The move was made following |
liaison meetings between air sta- 1
tion officials and representatives
of the North Carolina Board of j
Conservation and Development,
and members of the commercial
fishing industry of the state.
Change of the bombing area is in
tended to provide the Marine Corps '
with a target located in a water ,
area which least interferes with ,
local fishermen.
Bombing and strafing targets for |
training purposes in this area are 1
an absolute necessity. Marine offi
cials said, to enable Marine pilots |
to maintain their high degree of j
efficiency for tactical warfare. |
New Jersey Man
Buys Pamlico
It looks as though North Caro
lina has finally rid itself of the
"flagship" Pamlico. Two high bid
ders went by the board and the
third highest, Capt. Yerman Roe
burg, Wildwood. N. J.. backed up
his bid of $31,000 with a certified
check.
Roeburg is a commercial lisher
man and charter boat operator and
his bid was one of six received two
weeks ago by the Division of Pur
chase and Contract's surplus prop
erty section.
High bidder. Eugene Pruett, t.
Jones St., Raleigh, offered $32,
103.78, but defaulted. The second
high man, Henry Powell of Raleigh,
?ffercd $400 less, but when he was
contacted he said he had bought
another boat and now could not
take the Pamlico.
Under state law. Pruett's bid was
as good as a signed contract to
purchase. Because he failed to
come through, he will be called
on to pay the $1,103.78 the state
lost by selling for $31,000. The
task of collecting will be handled
through the attorney general s of
fice. Possibly, the courts may be
asked to lay a lien on Pruett s
property.
The Pamlico, 111 '/a foot diesel
powered ex-Navy subchaser, was
bought by the State Department of
Conservation and Development
after World War II for $17,000.
For a time she was the flagship of
the North Carolina Navy and the
principal unit in the Commercial
Fisheries Division's off-shore fleet.
She was sold because she proved
too expensive to operate and did
not perform any necessary service
in the state fleet, officials said.

awarded the fourth Oak Leaf Clus
ter to the Silver Star Medal and the
seventh 6ak Leaf Cluster to the

Major Anderson, ?ho serves with
the .3rd Infantry Division's light
aviation section, is the husband of
Mr?. Mary Anderson of 5214 Wythe

? The county board issued a state
ment yesterday, while in session
at the court house in Beaufort, de
claring that no more petitions re
questing additional roads on the
county system will be accepted un
til July 1. 1952. Petitions already
in the hands of the board will be
considered, but it is probable that
most of those will be rejected.
Drastic action is necessary, Dr.
K. 1*. B. Bonner, chairman of ihe
board, declared, because the coun
ty's allotment for the year on ad
ditional mileage to the county sys
tem is only five miles. It was
originally believed that Carteret's
allotment was 10.
John L. Humphrey, state road
superintendent, pointed out that
the allotment all over the state
was out to a total of 150 miles.
Thus far, Carteret has added 3.42
miles to the system for the 1951
52 fiscal year. That is well over
half the allotment.
Several petitions were presented
to the board yesterday but no ac
tion was taken.
Miss Gcraldine Oaksmith of
Morehead City appeared before the
board with county bonds dated 1865
and 1875 which she said had be
longed to her father. Miss Oak
smith wanted to know if the bonds
had value. She was referred to
Alvah Hamilton, county attorney.

Webb Spots Allen
David Battle Webb, proprietor of
Webb's store, was the first to foil
the shop lifters' plans. He caught
Allen leaving his store wearing i
jacket he had not paid for. In
pulling the jacket off the culprit
a number of watches fell upon ihe
floor.
Webb told police officers Her
bert Griffin and Buck Newsome
that Allen darted into a green
Buick waiting near the store and
fled. It was learned later that the
driver was Smith.
Webb accompanied the two of
ficers in a patrol-car search. While
driving, said Officer Griffin. Webb
saw two boys hitch hiking and
recognized them as being in the
store with Allen at the time.
The officers took the two, Saun
ders and Shepard. back to police
headquarters where they radioed
New Bern to be on the lookout for
a green Buick. In searching the
boys, a handful of watches and
other jewelry items was found.
Since no store had reported such
merchandise missing, the police
phoned jewelers in this vicinity
and found that Morris's in More
head City and Baxter's in Beaufort
were minus watches, ear rings,
rings, and pins. Leary's in More
head City later reported many tie
clasps missing.
In the meantime. New Bern po
lice picked up Farrell Smith driv
ing the sought-after car. but did
not find Allen with him.
Three Confess
Brought back to Morehead City,
Smith confessed along with Shep
ard and Saunders that they had
taken the loot.
Moflf of thewginlen itpms have
been Teturned, WR Walter S. Mor
ris, owner of Morris's jewelry said
he was still lacking five watches.
Webb said he is still missing a
jacket.
"They were a well-organized
team." said Morris who was out
eating lunch at the time of the
looting. "While two of them talk
ed to my employees, the others
were free to shop lift."
The case came before recorder's
court today where Solicitor Herbert
A. Phillips proposed that the case
be continued until next Monday.
Judge George H. McNeill granted
the request.
Science Wins Again
Dr. Grady C. Cooke Heats Bogue
Sound Home with Heat from Sun
County Symphony
Drive Progresses
! The drive for memberships in
j the North Carolina Symphony so
I ciety, which has been under way
I since Wednesday, is scoring results,
I Mrs. Hugh Salter and Mrs. James
Davis, co-chairmen of the drive,
announced today.
Memberships in the Symphony
| society will make possible an ad
I mission-free concert for the child
ren in Beaufort in the spring when
the symphony orchestra goes on
tour.
The children's concerts arc a
special service of the symphony to
the children of North Carolina. The
response from the children audi
ences has been enthusiastic, reports
Dr. Benjamin Swalin, conductor, i
'More than 103,000 children
throughout the state heard the
symphony last season and we hope
many more will be able to attend
this season when the orchestra is
brought to Carteret county by your
generous contributions toward the
membership drive," Mrs. Salter
stated.
Teachcrs have found that the
symphony concerts are a great
stimulus to the musical taste of the
children. The children find so
much enjoyment in the symphony
orchestra and after a concert they
manifest a greater interest in mu
sic in general, teachers report.
"When you take out a member
ship in the society," stated the
chairmen, "you not only can enjoy
the music yourself, but you will
also help provide musical enter*
tainment and education for a host
of children as well."
By Frank Weaver, Jr.
One of the unique homes in Car
teret eounty is the ultra-modern
one story house built by Dr. and
Mrs. Grady C. Cooke on Bogue
sound near Morehead City. It has
two types of revolutionary heating
systems ? a solar heating unit and
a hot-air, radiant heating furnace.
"Solar heating is not only givirtg
us adequate heat this time of year,
but it is such a marvelous luel
economizer other residents' in the |
county should adapt their houses
to it," said Dr. Cooke.
"Our home." he continued, "is
85 feet by 32 feet and so far lis
winter we have not burned more
than 100 gallons of oil in the fur
nace for the entire house. Most
people down here will use that
much a month for one room."
Cooke System Differs
The Cooke system of harnessing
the sun's rays differs somewhat
from that used by the Massachu
setts Institute of Technology.
"Our plan calls for asbestos
boarding to absorb the heat," said
the former surgeon, "instead of a
large tank of water as employed at
MIT.
