Days For
City Policeman H. D. Weils
Thursday was suspended for 15
days without pay on recommendation
of Police Chief L. L. Jarvis
to City Manager H. A. Yancey
for striking Samuel Shelton
with his hand about 12:30 a. ni.
last Saturday while'he was being
placed under arrest on West Gaston
street near Greene.
In municipal - county court
Shelton was convicted of being
drunk and disorderly and was
taxed court costs.
The city manager said Wells

\uci uuuce 01 dismissal in case of
. recurrence of a similar offense
' or another of like magnitude. In
addition, Wells, who joined the
police force March 1, will begin
another six months probation.
Chief Jarvis explained that all
police officers work on a probacy
ttonary basis for six months.
. Jarvis said his investigation
indicated that Wells struck Shelton
with his hand twice after
Sheltno had called the afftcer
names. At least three witnesses
told the chief, he stated, that another
officer, Baxter Hammond,
was holding one of Shelton's
hands when he was struck the
firBt time.
Jarvis said, however, that both
Hammond and Wells denied that
Hammond was holding Shelton's
hand. An intensive investigation
had been under way since last
Saturday in connection with the
episode.
The city manager said he had
carefully reviewed the case and
approved of Chief Jarvis' recommendation
.... m ?.? ?
cipal questions considered in the
case were whether or not Wells
had sufficient possibilities as a
police office to justify retaining
him, which was answered in the
affirmative, and what punishment
should be meted out. ; '
'Before joining the police force.
Wells had. been a commissioned
officer in the army, and prior to
i : that time he had been an instructor
at Fayetteville State" Teachers
college. Yancey said this
background and training was one
of the factors considered in arriving
at a decision in the case.
Chief Jarvis said the Negro
police officers have functioned
hi a commendable manner since
- ,i the first one was employed January
19, 1944.
Although both Hammond and
Wells'were in civilian clothes at
the time Shelton was arrested,
Chief Jarvis explained that all
police officers are-sworn to act
hi case of emergency inside the
city, regardless, of whether or not
they,are in uniform,

by Rev. Smith in his baccalaureate
message. He urged, the
graduates to face war as a tragic
reality, as an instrument which
punishes innocent men, women
and children, as well as those
who bring It about. "War," Rev.
Smith continued, "is an expression
of man's inhumanity to
men." He encouraged students
to recover truth and love from
the horrors of war. "It is your
responsibility,'' he concluded,
"to do all within your power to
assist in the creation of love and
good will."
