(From Page lA) The Knauer murder Investigation has been one of the most exhaustive In local history with a rough estimate of 10,000 manhours spent pursuing leauls. In the first week following the murder local police spent 600 manhours in the investigation cheeking close to 100 suq>ecta or parties who might have Information In the case. Accident Victim Improves Mrs. Edith Chambers, of Rt. 4, is improving at Kings Mountain Hospital from Injuries she sustained in a two-car head-on crash on Ice-sllck Grover Rd. Monday morning. Mrs. Chambers was passenger In a car operated by her husband, Charles. The CSiambers car was Involved in a collision with a car operated by Scenetta S. Fowler of Rt. 4. Mrs. Flower and Mr. Chambers were both treated for In juries and released from the hospital. N. C. Trooper J. R. Reid, who Investigated the ac cident, charged Mrs. Fowler with driving on the wrong side of the road and exceeding safe speed. Damages were estimated at $1,200. Involved In the In vestigation initially were KMPD, Cleveland County Sheriff's Department and the SBI. During the three- month Investigation the FBI and several other local and county agencies were utilised. Local of ficers travelled to Florida, Georgia and West Virginia and through communications leads were run down as far away as New Orleana, Nevada and Montreal, Canada. KMPD Det. Sgt Richard Reynolds, Sgt. Paul Barbee, Cleveland County Sheriff's Department, and SBI Agent Jim Woodard concentrated on the in vestigation from the beginning, following It through to their second trip to Florida five days ago to arrest and return Green to Cleveland County. The charge against Green Is the second such charge drawn by the Kings Mountain Police in recent weeks. The first was against Perry Dean Brlatol, 21, of Kinga Mountain In the shooting death of James Luther Rayfleld, a night attendant at a local service station. That incident occurred about 1:80 a. m. on the morning of December IS, 1076. Bristol waa serving time for armed robbery and assault with a gun In an incident at the Ramada Inn on 1-86 between Kings Mountain and Gastonia when he waa returned to Cleveland County and charged with Rayfleld'a murder. Police said the Grand Jury la expected to return a true bill cn the Brlatol charge about January 27. Broyhill Seeks More Natural Gas For State Tenth Diatrlct Congress man James T. BroyhlU, of Lenoir, waa swam In to office Tuesday at 2 p. m. to begin hla eighth term of service In the U. S. House of Representatives. Shortly after the swearing in ceremony the veteran lawmaker In troduced several bills to be considered by the 88th Oongreaa. One of the moat Important is an “emer gency bill'' to alleviate na tural gaa shortages such as North Carolina and South Carolina are now ex periencing. Broyhlll'a bill caUed the “Natural Gas Temporary Purchase Act” would allow Interstate pipelines such as Transcontinentlal P^Une Co. to purchase “emergency” natural gaa from Intrastate pipeline companies. Trans continentlal, the only pipe line service North Carolina la currently experiencing severe shortages of natural gas. The nation's natural gas shortage continues to be one of the largest problems facing the Congress. “I believe the public la beginning to pay the price of over regulation and Oongreaalonal Inaction. I am Introducing this bill because It la obvious that Oongreaa needs to take immediate steps to protect homeowners, small bual- nesaas, and Industrial users who have no ready substitute for natural gaa," Broyhill said. “Ihere are roughly 170 small commercial, indus trial and high priority natural gas users In the two CaroUnas which are threatened with a potential cutoff of their natural gaa supplies this month,” Broyhill went on to say. “TTieae companies repre sent 60,000 jobs In our State alone. I believe my bill la cniclal not only to the well being of the clttaens of our region but alao to the well- being of our Nation's eco nomy,” BroyhlU stated. Broyhill said there la imie doubt that Uie 90th Congress wlU be con sidering legislative proposals to Increase natural gas suppUes tar the long term. "In the mean time some areas at the nation are facing a present crista, I am urging Con gress to act promptly on an emergency blU to prevent an immediate economic crisis In states like North Carolina and South Caro lina.'' BroyhUl also Introduced legislation creating a select House Committee on energy. BroyhUl said that in the last two Congresses there have been t^proxl- mately 86,000 energy re lated bills introduced. More than 86 House Com mittees and-or sub committees have heard testimony on the natton's energy problems euid pro posed solutions. While everyone Involved In the energy field la comidalnlng about governmental energy dis-organlzatlon. Congress has done nothing to coordinate Its efforts to solve this nation's energy problems. BroyhlU's blU would create a select committee on energy with jurisdiction over sU energy matters. BroyhUl said at present energy bills are Introduced and almost forgotten as committees and sub committees fight for juris diction over the legislation. “I have seen energy Issues In Congress dUuted and tom t^art tUl the only Issues left were poUtlc^ ones. I believe the creation of a select committee on energy will enable the House to unite Its efforts and develop a com prehensive energy program,'' Broyhill concluded. Grover Board Talks Charter Amendment Grover Town Board Monday night caUed for a pubUc hearing January 24 at 7 p. m. at Grover (jlty HaU to discuss amending the town charter to in crease the number of commissioners to five, stagger their terms and lengthen their terms to four years. The board reappointed Joe Boheler as Chief of the Fire Department and Forest Love, assistant fire chief, for another year. After a lengthy discus sion of water system Improvements, the board postponed any action until “a coupls of minor changes could be made,” Grover Mayor W. W. McChrter sold. During the four and a half hour meeting, the board agreed basically with water system Im provements recommended by Its consulting englnser firm, JohnA. Edwards and Oo. of Raleigh but deferred action untU the board could seek alternate pipe prices and question the type of pump recommended for the new weU the firm has designed.
