Mar tin St. The youngster was picked up about 1;30 Saturday morning, by officers, who decided that the car and its occupants need ed to be questioned. Upon stop ping the car it was found that Allen did not have a driver’s license. The officers became suspi cious when Allen told several different stories about several different things, Perhaps what really got him in a picklq* was the fact that there w'as a new double-barrelled Revelation 12- gauge shotgun in the car, Al len was not able to give the officers a good explanation as to why the gun was in the car, but the most damaging part w'as the fact he could not satisfy the officers as to how the gun got into the car. Allen was taken to the Wake County jail, where he was con fined under SI,OOO bond, to await further action by the court, or courts, of Wake County. Upon being arrested the officers de cided that he needed some in vestigation and proceeded to do that. Information led them to believe that he might be the ans wer to a lot of unsolved crimes in the Raleigh area. . William Henry Powell and Al bert Crowder were listed as passengers in the car, driven by Allen, in the early hours of Saturday morning. Strikers Helen!

Those participating in the strike said they had the money to pay their rent, but would withhold it from the Housing Authority. Among their demands were that Carvie Oldham, executive director of the authority, and his assistant, Bill W'alton, be dismissed from their positions, and that a $65 maximum rental fee be charged all tenants of public housing, regardless of income.

JANUARY 20~ 1.968 Unidentified Dignity Added To House Job In, an effort to put dignity into the work of domestic work ers, a group of Raleigh citi zens have organized to train a number of persons to pro perly perform the dultes at tendant to, and to make a po sition out of the work, instead of a service that is looked down upon, by many. To this end Domestic Serv ices, Inc., met Wednesday morning in the Employment Se curity Hargett Street, and outlined plans that are des tined to put class in the pro fession. Domestic Service, Inc. has a board, which is com posed of Mesdames Prezel Ro binson, John Caldwell. Bernard Herman, Watt Huntley, James Boyer and William Jasper. The consultants are Mrs. David Spough and Herman Aldridge. The program has claimed the attention of Washington to the extent that Mrs. Lois Harper, executive director, National Committee of Household Em ployment, visited Raleigh this week and counseled with re presentatives of the new agency, in an effort to implement its work and to give it assistance from the national body, which is composed of 22 volunteer organizations, throughout the country. The national committee was formed when a commission, appointed by the late Presi dent Kennedy, reported such a dismal picture as it related to the status of women. The report showed that there were many unsatisfactory aspects, a mong them being wage rates, working conditions, lack of standards, inferior training and too little recognition of the services rendered, especially by domestics.

Blount St., sometime Thursday night. According to the report, Alston alleges that one, known only as "Michael,” recently released from prison, had been staying there for three nights. Alston is said to have told Of ficer L, T. Williams that when he closed Thursday night he left Michael there. Upon Alston’s return Friday morning Michael was gone. He found that the cigarette machine had been battered with a hammer. Some change was said to have been missing from the machine. Alston alleges that he found the front door locked, causing him to believe that Michael locked it upon leaving. * * * ESCAPE FROM SHAW BUILDING William Burwell, a night watchman at Shaw University, told police that while he was checking the Student Union Building, after midnight during the weekend, he found three men in there. Burwell alleges he gave chase in the area of the Snack Bar. The man he is said to have been chasing is al leged to have escaped from the south side of the building. The other two are alleged to have also escaped while the chase was on. Police were not able to find any point of entry. It was suspected that the three hid themselves in the building be for it closed, at midnight, Burwell was not able to identify either of the men. * * * BATTERY REPORTED STOLEN jasper Caviness # 8 Edgecombe Terrace reported to po lice that on or about 10 a. m.

Officers are not too sure, even of the accused person’s sex, due to the fact that the job did not appear as that of a novice. Even after the robbery was said to have been over, it was not determined definitely whether the person who held up the bank, got lost in the street, or left the scene in a get-a way car. Persons who theorized that statement of the two victims that they heard the robber say “Charlie get the car ready" are not too sure where, nor which way the robber went. It becomes more complicated to investigating officers, due to the fact the alleged robber Is said to have worn a nylon stocking over her face and had on a checkered cap, a leather jacket and long pants. The reported movements of the person, who alleged to have packed a gun, aroused much interest. The fact that a Mrs. Cressman, one of the employ ees, was able to detect that she was in trouble the minute the robber is supposed ta have entered ice bank, projects the thinking that the job was well planned. The fact that the robbed de manded that all the doors be locked and then tied the two women up in the bank and fled, adds to the delemma. It was not reported how the woman got out of the bank, after tielng the two bank women up. It is thought that most bank doors must be opened with a key and the report does not say any thing about the unlocking of the door and does not say wheth (See HOLDUP, P. *) W.
