Little Girl Killed Ten year-old Carla Bray, daughter of Mr. .and Mrs. Wal ter Bray of 2704 Carey Road, died Tuesday night from injur ies she suffered in an accident in front of her home. Patrol man R. D. Jenkins says the lit tle girl ran into the street to get a hula hoop she was playing with and ran into the path of a westbound motorcycle being ridden by Luby Wallace Dali of Kinston route 2. The child was rushed to Pitt Memorial Hospit al in Greenville afler examina tion at Lenoir Memorial Hospital in Kinston but (Had shortly af ter reaching there. ... h : (WIN), has assumed particular importance as numerous coun ties with one eye on the Jones case, are refusing to pay June Medicaid bills or to appropriate the full amount for social ser vice programs this fiscal year. .The battle between the state and Jones County will be the first-to test a county’s right to refuse to allocate funds for a welfare program. The state welfare department first asked the attorney gener al’s office to begin proceedings against Jones last year, but the case is not yet on the court dock et. The reason, Weathers explain ed, is that Jones County lawy ers required additional informa tion in the state’s complaint which delayed its filing. “I wouldn’t say they were us ing delaying tactics but certain ly not everything they asked1 for was necessary,” Weathers said. The case was further delayed by the slow response of federal agencies to questions from the state justice department. It took one and one half months for the U.S. Department of La bor to forward details request ed by Jones County lawyers on why Jones County was chosen for the WIN program, Weathers said. Although the attorney gener al’s office will probably take some action in the next few days, the case will not come to trial before the September ses sion of Jones County Superior Court, Weathers said.
