' Bitter Disappointment Forced On Spectators Statements Made By Officials Regarding Cause Of Confusion In an Impartial and unbiased effort to determine the causas of the confusion In the president's parade here yesterday, The 8tar this morn ing secured statements from several officials who were connected with the unfortunate mlx-up. Their statements are published below In an | effort to present to the citizens of Shelby and Cleveland county all sides 1 of the controversy. Lieut. Fisher Says He Authorized The Short-Cut On His Own Responsibility “1 assume responsibility for routing the presidential party over Marlon street through Shelby," said Lieut. Fisher of the State Highway Patrol. Lieut. Plsher had charge of the presidential party routings as It traveled from the Tennessee line to Charlotte. He is stationed in Ashe ville. Explaining his side of the matter, Lieut. Plsher said: "No suggestion or request came to me from Shelby or any other source as to which of the two alternate routes should be used through Shelby. Had I been asked to use Warren street, I would have gladly so Instructed my advance men. “Rutherfordton, Forest City, Kings Mountain and Bessemer City officials communicated wtih me with requests for routings through those towns and I gladly accommodated them. Practically all of these towns sent out escorts to yieet and direct the party. Shelby did not." Question: “Wasn’t Bob Kendrick at the Intersection of Warren and Marlon to direct the motorcade over the official eastbound route?" A. “I understand he was, but I was behind the 2D advance guard patrolmen on motorcycles and did not see him.” Question: “Why di$ your patrolmen not follow Kendrick's Instruc tions?" A. "Chances art those men were patrolmen from eastern Caro lina and did not know Kendrick was an officer of the law.” Question. "Did the advance guard have authority to change the rout ing from Marion to Warren when notified by a local officer that the spectators were on that street?” A. "Yes, they respect Instructions of uniformed officers, but Mr. Kendrick was not In uniform. He was in civilian clothes and being thus clothed, the patrolmen followed my In structions to use Marion street.” Question. "Don’t you know that Warren is the official route for eastbound traffic?” A. "It la so marked, but I have never been officially notified. Furthermore I have always used Marlon street because It is a shorter cut through the city and passes the city hall where the local patrolmen maintain headquarters. You know, too, we were running be hind schedule.” Question. "Is It true that the secret service men or the president wished to avoid the crowd?” A. "No. It was the president's wish that he be given an opportunity to greet everybody. I was with him back In Western Carolina and It was always his pleasure to greet Individuals as well as crowds. He took the rain bravely and when his aides suggested raising the car top. he protested, saying If the people could take the sun and the rain, he could.” Question. “When the advance motorcycle men came In on Marlon and found the people on the other street, why did they not notify the presidential car?” A. “They cleared the streets and went back, but the presidential car had already entered Marlon street in Lover’s Lane where It was stoppd for the car top to be lowered so everybody could see.” Patrolman O. A. Speed, stationed in Rutherford county, was In the advance guard and did know Deputy Bob Kendrick. Mr. Kendrick noti fied Speed of the route to follow but he continued as directed by his lieutenant. When Lieut. Fisher was asked why Speed didn’t obey Ken drick’s orders, he said he might have done so, had Kendrick been dress ed In the uniform of a peace officer. Lieut. Fisher expressed regret over the keen disappointment of the crowd and the president. "It was the most unpleasant affair of the whole Journey and we traveled 280 miles,” said he. “Twenty patrolmen on motorcycles were kept far In advance of the presidential party to clear the highways. We required all private, vehicles to drive to the side and park and did not pass a single moving vehicle. A special escort of eight men were directly with the president. The advance men clearing the highways always kept out of sight In advance of the chief executive,” he said. Mayor Says Party Was Expected To Follow The Official Markings Question: “Did you authorize The 8tar on Wednesday morning to state that Marlon street would be the official route?” A. "Yes.” Question: “Why was a change made?” A. "Because the citizens (Continued on page ten.)
